Chapter 1448 1448. Sounding The Retreat

Mistress was surprised by the sudden appearance of so many powerful natives on Everlasting Heavenly Legends' side, but she was most surprised when she laid eyes on two natives among those who appeared.

Lead Designer also had the same astonishment when he saw the two. "Satyr…? How can this be? Satyr is a minor race that only exists in the underworld. No way you can find one up here."

"… Yet we are indeed looking at two of them," Mistress said.

The two satyrs who had drawn Mistress and Lead Designer's attention were Yrin and Tenka. They were among the ones who were called by Everlasting Heavenly Legends' core members using companion tokens. They were the companions of Bowler and The Man.

After spending so much time inside the s.p.a.ce-time Chamber making friends with the satyrs, the two finally received the companion offer from them.

Bowler and The Man's purpose of spending so much time inside the chamber was actually to gain the nightmare's trust. They figured if they could influence the nightmares to like them from a young age, maybe the nightmares would be willing to be their steeds when they grew up. If they had the same kind of steed as Jack's, how cool would that be?

But instead of getting the steed's trust, they gained the custodians' trust instead. Even if this was not their intention, they welcomed the offer happily. Both Yrin and Tenka were high-level rare elites. Other players would be on cloud nine if they acquired such companions.

Tenka was level 70 when he migrated to the upworld. After becoming Bowler's companion, he had gone out and joined Bowler in doing monster-grind for exp points. He was now level 73.

Tenka charged into the enemy's midst with his large cleaver coated in dark flame. He fought like he didn't care about receiving damage. This was because a halo was above him. This halo healed his HP at intervals.

The halo was Bowler's Royal High Priest's level 70 spell, Heavenly Nurture. It was a single-target spell. Aside from healing the target by 5,000 HP every three seconds, it also gave the target a 25% damage reduction. If Tenka received a fatal attack during the spell's duration, he would escape death and his HP was brought back to 30% instead. The duration of Heavenly Nurture was five minutes long.

To aid his rampage, Tenka used Demonization. His body grew larger and he turned into one menacing winged demon. His strength and speed greatly increased. The enemy players were unable to stop his rampage.

Joining his rampage was The Man, who was now level 71. The Man also received a new skill when his Brave Rusher cla.s.s pa.s.sed level 70. His new skill was Fearless Rage. This skill was very much like Berserk only much better.

Upon activation, The Man's defenses increased by 100%. All the damage he received was reduced by 50%. All the damage he inflicted was increased by 30%. His attack speed and movement speed were doubled. He was also immune to movement restrictions and status effects as long as this skill was active. This skill duration was three minutes.

Supporting him from behind was his companion, Yrin, who was now level 75. Her shadow tentacles smacked anyone who tried to come close to her. She also cast a spell that conjured several shadow blades. These blades flew around following her will. She sent these blades ahead to slice at anyone who tried to gang up on The Man.

Mistress was hard at work using her soul orb to heal her members, but they were dying too fast. She was frustrated at the situation. She then received a message that frustrated her even more.

"This is not a good situation, I suggest we retreat," Spring Crown's message said.

"Don't be ridiculous! How can we disgrace ourselves with a retreat? We are supposed to get them pinned down!" Mistress replied.

"Well, the strategy isn't bad. It's just the enemy is way out of our expectations. There is no shame in a retreat."

"Speak for yourself!" Mistress exclaimed. How could retreat not be shameful?

"As you wish. I will sound the retreat for myself," Spring Crown replied.

Mistress was fuming. That was not what she meant. She saw the World Maker's side started to disengage. That annoying gamer wasn't joking. She didn't understand why Master picked him to be in charge of the guild players in this battle.

While she was still unwilling to call for a retreat, she saw several giant ice lotuses blooming amid their force. She had seen those ice lotuses before. They were the spells from mega spells, Absolute Zero Lotus.

After calling the Council of Charites warriors, Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members had more leeway. The magic cla.s.ses that possessed the mega spell were able to gather together and do their cooperative casting.

Seeing the situation, Mistress greeted her teeth and instructed Lead Designer to issue the order for a retreat.

On the other side, Domon had exchanged dozens of moves with Long. Both were very skilled. No winner could be determined.

Their duel didn't last long, though. This was a battle. It was not a place where two people could fight in peace. Others b.u.t.ted in soon enough.

World Maker players came and joined Long in attacking Domon. Long didn't mind. He was never one who bothered about fairness. Domon could only defend while retreating.

Luckily, his reinforcements came soon. Jet and Freddie came with kicks and punches. The regular players were unable to cope with their master-level martial arts. The three martial arts started to beat back the opponents who outnumbered them.

The only one who could fight back was Long. His palms multiplied as eighteen eastern dragons rushed out from him. Each palm carried immense force. Domon and the others had to use their full strength to defend against the ancient art. 

"d.a.m.n it! It truly is as powerful as the legend says," Jet remarked.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. The enemies started distancing themselves.

"They are retreating?" Freddie asked after seeing it.

The players who supported Long also moved away. Long was slightly unwilling to retreat because of the excitement he felt fighting against three masters. This caused a pause in his movement.

As the enemy retreated, other players from the Everlasting Heavenly Legends came. Long decided he would be in danger if he stayed, but that brief pause let Domon and the others react first. The three and the other players who just arrived surrounded Long.

"You are not going anyway, brat," Jet said.

Long didn't seem to panic. He instead pressed his palms together. As he did, the air around his palms started to s.h.i.+mmer. Domon, Jet, and Freddie felt the abrupt rise in mana intensity around Long.
