At Cold Laughterâs command, the other Red Names exploded into action.
Elementalists and Cursemancers started chanting; Rangers nocked their arrows; and Shield Warriors, Guardian Knights, and the other melee classes prepared to intercept any escape attempts.
âBlack Flame, both our parties will open a path to our left. Thereâs a forest in that direction, so it will be easy to lose them once weâre inside,â Virtuous Cloud hurriedly said as she raised her shield in preparation to take damage.
Seeing that Black Flameâs party members had such high levels, it was very unlikely that they would be weak.
Although they were still outnumbered, 12-on-50 was still a lot better than 6-on-50. Not to mention, Black Flameâs party was clearly stronger than her party. There was still a chance for them to break through the encirclement.
However, before Virtuous Cloud had finished speaking, Fire Dance had already taken action.
Using Shadow Steps, Fire Dance immediately appeared behind Cold Laughter. In an instant, her blood-red short sword slashed across the back of Cold Laughterâs head.
Cold Laughter had no hope against Fire Danceâs speed. Before he knew it, a damage of -1,106 points appeared above his head, his HP instantly falling by one-third.
When Cold Laughter saw the other Truefire Blade coming in for another attack, he was instantly afraid.
âScram!â Cold Laughter urgently used Whirlwind Slash, slashing his greatsword horizontally towards Fire Dance.
Berserkers were known for their Strength. In addition, Whirlwind Slash greatly increased the might of an attack by utilizing momentum. Even if Fire Dance had a higher Strength, she couldnât defend against his attack.
_Dang!_
However, as if his greatsword had struck an immovable wall, the weapon stopped right beside Fire Dance, unable to advance. For a moment, Cold Laughter even felt his hands go numb.
âHowâŠ?â When Cold Laughter saw the blood-red short sword in Fire Danceâs hand block his greatsword effortlessly, he could no longer hide his fear.
Was this an Assassin?
This question echoed through Cold Laughterâs mind.
During Cold Laughterâs brief moment of shock, Fire Dance twisted the Truefire Blade in her hand, disengaging from Cold Laughterâs greatsword and forcing the Berserker to retreat by a few steps. Fire Dance then swung her other arm, sliding the other Truefire Blade smoothly into Cold Laughterâs chest.
Although Berserkers focused on Strength, with the difference in equipment, Fire Danceâs strength left Cold Laughterâs in the dust, despite her Agility-focused class.
This was the cruel reality of Godâs Domain. Equipment spoke volumes.
Class advantage was meaningless in the face of powerful equipment.
Cold Laughter hurriedly tried to defend against Fire Danceâs sword. However, the latter gave him no opportunity to do so.
Shadow Strike!
Suddenly, Fire Dance disappeared, her entire person passing through Cold Laughter and appearing behind the Berserker.
Although Cold Laughter tried to turn towards the Assassin, the damage of -3,426 points that appeared above his head had emptied his remaining HP. Immediately, Cold Laughterâs vision began to gray.
The battle had ended before it had even started.
From beginning to end, Cold Laughter had not known what was happening.
Wasnât she just an Assassin who was two levels higher than him? Yet, he couldnât even put up a fight.
_Is the gap between players really that intense?_ Cold Laughter didnât understand. Fire Danceâs appearance had shattered his past preconceptions.
However, even if doubt filled the Berserkerâs mind, his body still fell to the ground.
Only an instant had passed from the moment Fire Dance had taken action.
The surrounding Red Names had only noticed Fire Danceâs disappearance before she suddenly reappeared in front of Cold Laughter. In the next moment, Cold Laughterâs body hit the ground. Their boss and the only expert in their team had died, just like thatâŠ
The consequences of death for a Red Name spoke for themselves.
Not only had Cold Laughter dropped a majority of his equipment, but he would also lose at least three Levels.
Seeing this, the surrounding Red Names were scared stiff.
âSo fast!â Admiration filled Virtuous Cloudâs gaze as she watched Fire Dance.
No matter how one viewed Cold Laughter, he was not an ordinary player. The fact that he was Level 24 and the leader of these elite players proved it. His dark red name also spoke of his countless player kills. He could not be underestimated, and she wasnât even confident of defeating the Berserker. Yet, Fire Dance had killed the Red Name in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, after killing Cold Laughter, Fire Dance had not stopped. Spinning around, she dashed towards the enemy magical classes.
Currently, the stunned crowd was like a herd of frightened sheep. Fire Dance reached the magical classes easily, and killing each with a single hit, she instantly eliminated another three players.
Unwilling to fall behind, Blackie also began to wave his staff and cast Hell Flame. Green pillars of fire suddenly rose among the crowd, and any players the flames touched received multiple damages of over -2,000 points. Before these players could escape Hell Flameâs range, they died. In an instant, another dozen or so players had lost their lives.
Aqua Rose joined the fray, casting Flame Barrage and downing another six players.
Flying Shadow had long since charged into the crowd as well, massacring the Red Names. Even though many tried to resist, Flying Shadow dealt with all of them easily. The male Assassin was like a ghost, his movements erratic. None of the Red Names could even catch sight of the man, let alone damage him. On the contrary, due to friendly fire, they even killed some of their ownâŠ
By the time the Red Names realized the situation, they had lost over half of their numbers.
Run!
With less than half of their original army remaining, these Red Names no longer had the confidence to face Fire Dance and the others.
âDonât you think that it is a little too late to escape now?â Shi Feng could not help but sigh as he watched the scattering Red Names.
Even if Shi Fengâs party and these Red Names were on the same level regarding Attributes, which they certainly were not, Fire Dance and the others would still have annihilated them easily.
In a momentâs time, Fire Danceâs group of five had devastated the 50 Red Names. Equipment and corpses littered the ground.
With a rough estimate, the Red Names dropped close to 300 pieces of equipment. Furthermore, the lowest quality was Bronze ranked. If sold, they could make a fortune from the loot.
Virtuous Cloud, who stood beside Shi Feng all this time, was utterly shocked.
Only now did she realize why Black Flameâs party members had been so calm.
_So they werenât putting on an act at all._ Virtuous Cloud glanced at Shi Feng, a hint of shame surfacing on her face.
Originally, she thought that Shi Fengâs group was simply a bunch of rich tycoons who were ignorant about worldly affairs. Now, however, it would seem that she had been greatly mistaken.
With such frightening strength, it was no wonder they paid no attention to these Red Names.
âThank you for saving our lives,â Virtuous Cloud said as she took out a Warfire set piece from her bag, intending to give it to Shi Feng. âI donât have anything else on me that I can offer, so please accept these Warfire Bracers.â
When Virtuous Cloudâs party members saw her use a Warfire set piece as payment for their rescue, although their hearts ached at the sight, none of them tried to hinder their party leaderâs actions.

It had not been easy to reach their current Levels. If they died, not only would they lose a level, but every one of them would also have to lose a piece of equipment. Losing the Warfire Bracers was more affordable.
Moreover, Virtuous Cloudâs decision could also allow them to forge a connection with an expert. This was a welcomed opportunity for all of them.
âWarfire Bracers?â Shi Feng had plenty of Warfire set pieces in his bag, enough to form three sets and more. He only lacked the Warfire Bracers. âThanks, but you donât have to. Why not sell it to me instead? As we had previously agreed, Iâll buy it for 10 Gold Coins.â
Saying so, Shi Feng traded 10 Gold Coins to Virtuous Cloud. He then added the Warfire Bracers to his bag.
âFinally, a complete Warfire Set Equipment.â When Shi Feng looked at the completed Warfire Set Equipment in his bag, an indescribable sense of joy filling his heart.
