Chapter 202: The Terramancer—Camus

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Silentdeath Jungle.

Fifteen well-equipped Demon Faction players were rushing forward grimly without wasting a second. Swiftly, they passed by one Malevolent Archdemon after another and other Darkshadow beings as if they were leaping dire wolves dashing into the forest depths.

All fifteen player’s equipment were fit for a champion player. With such a strong team, even if they were on the Mythical Battlefield, there were hardly any opponents they could not go up against. However, one of the players had a sullen look on his face.

That player is the Twelve Zodiacs’ Field Commander Saga. After facing defeat at the hands of the other party’s commander Slayer’s Heart yesterday, he was currently looking troubled but kept it to himself. Even as he rushed through the path with everyone, he kept a lookout, scanning through every bush and tree.

To be frank, he was currently in a foul mood...

He had been instantly killed by someone in close combat for the first time, not to mention he was under the support of four Elementalists.

From yesterday onward, he was constantly ridiculed by the other Field Commanders in the clan because of that—even Clan Leader Shaka was displeased with him...

Even though Clan Leader Shaka knew how strong Slayer’s Heart was and was aware that Saga was weaker than Slayer’s Heart, their opponents only amounted to ten people and they easily annihilated seventy-six of them. This caused their clan to lose 76 Honor Points and a bunch of equipment, and they even manage to take the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon from them... causing Shaka who was planning to reach one million Honor Points to be greatly annoyed!

Not only that, when Shaka brought a team of Radiant Priest to support them, fourteen of their clan party’s Elementalist brothers corpses were nowhere to be found for them to revive, causing them to lose a level!!

After suffering several losses consecutively, Shaka contacted several Fence Sitter parties from the Angel Faction without hesitation, demanding them to provide several clan party’s information. At the same time, he mobilized several players to keep a lookout at Moonrise City’s teleportation portal and city entrances for Slayer’s Heart and his party.

After getting their information, Saga and more than twenty of his clan members were ready on standby while they were in Sector I of Mythical Battlefield hunting Angel Faction parties to recover the Honor Points from yesterday’s losses. Once the location of Slayer’s Heart’s party was discovered, Shaka immediately summoned his troops—hundreds of elite players of Twelve Zodiacs spread like a wildfire through the Silentdeath Jungle searching for Slayer’s Heart and his party. Saga’s party was also summoned to join the hunt formation.

“... how bold of them to come here again!”

Saga was raging within as he was running, he could not wait to round them up and hunt them all down.

However deep down his mind, there was still a lingering doubt. Yet Saga could not understand why he was feeling nervous—it could have been due to the incredible speed and Magic Penetration effect showed by Slayer’s Heart, instantly crushing his confidence. Or it could have been due to the Aquamancer’s mysterious ability to come and go like a shadow, and his incredible Water Elementalism skills and lethality.

He could not deny that both of them troubled him greatly, causing him to feel threatened. Even with the presence of two Field Commander-level companions beside him, this strong fear did not dissipate...

This is too strange!

While he was contemplating, chaotic and frightened voices were heard from the special channel created from the clan channel.

“Come quickly! The target has been spotted! Coordinates are (xx, yy)!”

“F*ck, I just died!”

“Damn, me too! How did that Tier 4 Aquamancer notice us? I’m screwed!!”

The voices obviously belonged to a Bandit.

“How the heck would I know, the one who killed me was a freaking Bandit. F*ck, I can’t believe I would be taken out by a Bandit... Argh!!! My weapon dropped! Faster come and help me bro!”

“So what! My Accessory dropped, it was a highest grade Beastkin Necklace which increases 200 HP!!”

It was absolute chaos in the party channel. Saga and his party on the other hand had a worried look. Without further delay, they immediately head toward the location coordinates announced in the party channel.

By the time they reached, there were only corpses littered around the field with no one in sight, all of their clan member’s equipment were nowhere to be found.

“F*ck! Where are they?!”

“Damn it, they fled so fast!”

While they were cursing, another distress call for backup was made from the party channel which just died down...

It was the same situation which happened previously—another scout party was ambushed by Slayer’s Heart party, instantly taking out all of them.

Saga finally reacted and immediately shouted in the channel for everyone nearby to head to the location immediately, “Everyone in Silentdeath Jungle be on high alert—prepare to engage and encircle the location provided!”

Once his commands were given, another deep and serious voice was heard from the party channel.

“Saga, Mu, Camus. What is your current location?”

After the voice which just appeared, all the screaming and cursing in the channel immediately ceased. Only the Clan Leader and the three Field Commanders could be heard discussing...

“We have already reached nearby.”

The one who replied was Mu—the fifth in command of Twelve Zodiacs who was acknowledged by the clan. He was an even stronger Field Commander than Saga who was fourth in command—a Level 49 Terramancer and also a Field Commander which threatened Saga the most.

Originally because their target was Slayer’s Heart who possessed the Magic Penetration Skill which could counter Terramancers, it was unsuitable to send a Terramancer against them. However, Mu’s Elemental Perception: Earth was able to help detect the elusive Tier 4 Aquamancer. As for Slayer’s Heart, he would be dealt with by Camus the seventh strongest in the clan, which should be sufficient.

The command from the Clan Leader of Twelve Zodiacs was relayed.

“Great! Now everyone listen carefully. Except for those who are in Mu, Camus, and Saga’s party—return to the main city!”

“Huh...”

Saga was bewildered. Just as he was about to say something, Shaka’s voice was heard again in a more grim tone.

“This is an order!”

***

In Silentdeath Jungle, the Twelve Zodiacs Clan members who were previously ordered by Saga to head toward the active scene stopped abruptly and begin to use their Return Scroll.

While hidden in the dark and just about to make a move, Qin Ruo abruptly canceled his skill, looking toward the location where several Twelve Zodiacs’ members disappeared. A tinge of uneasiness flashed through his eyes.

‘Why did they suddenly teleport?’

Are they afraid just after only tens of people were taken out? The Twelve Zodiacs Clan can’t possibly be afraid to finish what they started!

As he was unable to comprehend it, the sound of rushing sounds made by players was suddenly heard from the jungle—approaching him from afar.

‘Newbies who got lost?’

As the thought flashed through his mind, Qin Ruo made his decision, while warning Slayer’s Heart and the guy, he silently hid behind a tree and used his Elemental Perception: Water to “see” the situation over there.

‘Eh? These five people.’

Their equipment were decent. They were fully equipped with Gold tier—there was even an Elementalist fully equipped with Dark Gold Equipment. Qin Ruo furrowed his brows. It seemed that Twelve Zodiacs had finally realized what was going on and did not want to suffer anymore unnecessary casualties. Thus they were only sending in their elite of the elites—preparing to engage in a battle with equal prowess.

Although the Class combination of these five people (Three Elementalists, one Bowmaster, and one Berserker) was not a concern to Qin Ruo, three of the Elementalists had activated their dual defense. Furthermore, Qin Ruo would not take the one fully equipped with Dark Gold Equipment lightly. He was well aware that in elite clans, equipment also symbolized the person’s strength—the better the equipment, the stronger the person! This guy... he was probably as strong as Saga...

Against such a strong party, Qin Ruo was not confident enough that he could take them down in one shot. Even against the two fully equipped with Gold Equipment Bowmaster and Berserker... he was uncertain that he could take them out instantly!

Besides that, Qin Ruo was certain that these were not all the players sent after them by Twelve Zodiacs.

If he could not ensure that he could escape unscathed after his attacks landed successfully, who knows what the Twelve Zodiacs would have prepared to take them down. In other words, this would be a tough battle.

Right after Qin Ruo had sent his message to inform the other party of seven to avoid the five-man party advancing route, one of the Elementalists who advanced another thirty meters suddenly stopped and kneeled halfway. A faint dirt-yellow glow emerged from his palms and was gently applied to the ground.

At that moment, a strong sense of uneasiness was felt by Qin Ruo.

An inexplicable feeling rushed through his body. His Aquamorphed body which was exceptionally sensitive instantly had the feeling of being caressed by a surge of an elemental wave.

And it was at that moment, with the help of Elemental Perception: Water that he was able to clearly sense that the Terramancer’s body had a slight tremor which was could be hardly be noticed by the naked eye.

‘Damn it!

‘I was discovered’

Qin Ruo took a deep breath and began to turn tail.

“He’s here! Right over there... chase him!”

Mu anxiously shouted behind him.

***

“I have been discovered. Going to lead them toward you guys. There are five targets—one of them seems to be Field Commander level Terramancer. I will distract them while you guys prepare to ambush them! Be quick and decisive!” Qin Ruo informed them as he began condensing to activate his Frostbarrier.

Slayer’s Heart replied instantly, “Don’t worry just lead them over here!”
