Chapter 210: Chapter 180: Whose Reinforcements?_1

Mu You walked up to the cork of the bottle.

Previously, when the black-robed man was alive, he had been unable to push out the cork, but now he easily opened it.

After coming out of the bottle mouth, Mu You’s stature surged and returned to its original height in an instant.

Looking down, the wine bottle was resting under his feet, looking very similar to the glass bottles discarded in the bar.

Mu You picked up the wine bottle and re-corked it.

This item was handy for duelling, preventing the opponent from fleeing, but one must avoid the situation just now: If you lock yourself and others inside but are weaker than them, you would be taken advantage of and meet a tragic end like the black-robed man.

Therefore, unless you’re completely certain, it’s best not to casually use it on strangers.

Of course, besides fighting, this bottle has other uses like storing large items that are inconvenient to carry, such as— the Ghost Ship!

The Ghost Ship was about 100 metres in length, so if it was reduced a thousand times, it would only be 10 centimetres and could easily fit into the bottle.

After pocketing the bottle into his ring, Mu You was considering his next move when a prompt suddenly reached his mind.

[The region you are in has fallen into spatial interference. During the spatial interference, teleportation marks and displacement-related magic will temporarily be ineffective.]

"Spatial interference?"

Mu You furrowed his brows, testing by setting up a Dark Teleportation Array nearby.

It notified him that the array setting failed. It couldn’t set up new teleportation arrays in a region affected by spatial interference.

Mu You could confirm that this wasn’t present before midnight because many people had activated their teleportation marks to retreat when facing the Flying Dragon earlier.

Therefore, this must have been activated during his fight with the black-robed man inside the bottle.

Taking into account the town-return scroll he had found from the black-robed man’s ring... Mu You somewhat understood what the Ten Commandments were planning.

By initiating this large-scale interference, this was akin to blocking the ability to flee through revival in the marsh. Therefore, once the battle started, it could only continue.

The aim of the people from the Ten Commandments for their fight against the godlike players of the Dragon Group was simply to wear each other out, and use the heavy experience penalty to decrease their levels.

After all, it was much easier to lose levels than it was to regain them. Not only was there the issue of massive experience points, but the limitation of the Evolution Elixir was even more crucial.

Since the Ten Commandments were backed by the Wizard Association, they naturally had no shortages of Evolution Elixirs. Even if their level dropped by 15, they could level up again whenever they pleased. But where would Earth’s godlike players find so many Evolution Elixirs?

If a large number of Earth’s godlike players were reduced by fifteen levels, they would definitely not have enough time to recover in the next half month. In such a scenario, the defense of the Arcane Tower by the Wizard Association in the future would be much easier.

Therefore, for the Wizard Association, engaging the advanced players in a battle that would result in mutual losses with the Ten Commandments was sure to be a profitable transaction.

And this town-return scroll, which could ignore spatial interference, was clearly a trump card prepared by the people from the Ten Commandments for their final withdrawal. Probably, every person from the group had one.

Having figured this out, Mu You wasted no time and, accompanied by his summoned creatures, the Battle Eagle and Netherworld Demon Child, moved northward.

After putting on the Mysterious Human Skin, as expected, the monsters he encountered along the way no longer attacked him actively, which greatly speeded up his pace.

As he moved on, Mu You sent his Shadow War Eagle to scout from the sky.

He delayed for about an hour and a half due to his fight with the black-robed man. However, the others moved much slower than him, so he should not have lost too much ground.

Sure enough, after searching the north for about ten minutes, the traces of the reinforcement troops came into the vision of the Battle Eagle.

However, the original force of more than sixty people had reduced to over twenty only now. Mu You wasn’t certain whether the others had dispersed or returned to Earth in advance.

At this moment, the remaining twenty or so people were being attacked by a group of Marsh Monsters.

At least a thousand monsters had surrounded the group in layers, completely blocking all paths of retreat.

The twenty-odd people, back to back, were barely managing to maintain a safe circle amidst the monster crowd using their proficient coordination.

However, in the crowd of monsters, there were about a dozen human figures. They mingled amongst the monsters without being attacked.

Humans were much harder to deal with than monsters. These people weren’t of high level, the highest being only level 14 and the lowest not even reaching level 10. However, due to their intelligence, their occasional meddling was enough to add to the chaos of the besieged group and disrupt their formation.

Mu You guessed that these people must be from the Illuminati.

Among these people from the Illuminati, there was a cloaked youth whose actions were particularly striking. With a wave of his magic wand, a vast cloud of lightning floated over the group. Countless lightning bolts shot down from the cloud. The severe damage from the lightning strikes drastically increased the death rate of the group below. As the teleport marks were ineffective, the dead could only resurrect near the battlefield and still remained within the lightning clouds’ range of attack. The formation of the group was torn apart instantly.

In front of the youth stood a Fire Giant, taller and more powerful than any Mu You had previously encountered. This was due to the fact that there were plenty of severely injured enemies nearby, allowing it to continuously make kills. If they failed to dodge, they could be killed in one slap.

Without a doubt, since he could use black magic, this person must be either Taurus or Gemini, and Mu You leaned towards Gemini.

Seeing the team on the verge of collapse, Mu You could no longer remain a spectator. After taking a Fire Resistance Potion, he immediately rushed over, accompanied by the Demon Child.

Upon his approach, both the Illuminati and the reinforcement troops noticed him immediately.

Under the hood, Gemini saw the black-robed man approaching rapidly in the distance, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in haste: "Boss Rode, you’ve finally come. Quickly, help me take care of these people. Don’t let any of them escape!"

Of course, he intentionally shouted this out, aiming to despair those on the opposite side and quickly have them lose their will to resist.

Indeed, upon hearing these words, everyone inside felt down.

Many old players on the scene weren’t strangers to the name Rode. He was one of the leading gods in the Ten Commandments, with a level reaching nineteen!

They were already having a hard time facing the continuous attacks, and now a god at the nineteenth level was added to the other side. How were they supposed to fight?

As Gemini had predicted, this one sentence had an excellent effect on demoralizing their opponents. A sense of despair enveloped the opposing team immediately. Despite some of their leading figures still shouting ’stand firm’, their resistance unavoidably weakened.

On the other hand, with the news that their godlike reinforcements had arrived, the Illuminati’s morale rose further, and their attacks became even more fierce.

Watching this scene unfold, Gemini’s mouth curled up into a sly, triumphant smile, and he put even more effort into maintaining his spell, making his thunderbolt attacks more frequent.

However, just when Gemini thought he had everything under control, he suddenly felt a choke in his throat. His tongue and vocal cords had been forcibly sealed, and his spell was automatically interrupted.

What’s going on?

Startled, Gemini looked back to the rear.

The spell had come from behind. And the only one possibly casting a spell from the rear right now was this rapidly approaching black-robed man.

A mistake in casting the spell?

This possibility lingered in Gemini’s mind for less than a second before he immediately dismissed it.

No! He is not Rode!

Gemini quickly realizes this, and a chill runs down his spine. Without further hesitation, he quickly stirs the Fire Giant to block the black-robed man.

The lightning in the field stops abruptly due to the interruption of the spell. Moreover, the impact of the surrounding monsters also quickly weakened and, as if receiving some orders, dispersed in all directions.

This strange change left everyone on the field stunned. Many people subconsciously looked towards the black-robed man who was rapidly approaching in the distance. It was clear that all these changes were caused by his approach.

What’s going on?

Could it be that the newcomer is not an enemy?

In the team, a flash of realization dawned in the woman’s eyes as she recognized the Netherworld Demon Child following the black-robed man.

This card was a summoning card that she had personally swapped at a meeting; of course she recognized it.

Could this be... Aries the Great God?

Aries the Great God has come to their aid!

By this time, the Fire Giant had twisted its body full of lava and rushed in front of the black-robed man, punching out. The black-robed man narrowly avoided it but with this jump, it hit right into the Fire Giant’s plans. The towering Fire Giant, having easily erected around thirty meters high, opened its mouth and swallowed the black-robed man entirely.

Other people looked on, confused. What’s going on? A much-needed reinforcement had been so easily taken down?

The woman was also shocked. How did Aries the Great God manage to jump straight into the mouth of the Fire Giant?

As everyone else was left clueless, the Fire Giant suddenly let out a tragic shriek, rolling on the ground as if subjected to immense pain. Countless cracks appeared all over its body.

The next second, the flames all over its body dimmed rapidly, and its body broke apart into countless fragments of lava, scattering all over the place.

All that was left in the place where the Fire Giant had fallen was the black-robed man, holding a magic wand and standing unscathed.

Everyone else watching this scene gasped in awe.

The strength of this Fire Giant was something they had all witnessed firsthand. After multiple evolutions, its combat power was already equivalent to a godlike player’s, leaving them unable to fight back.

And now this creature, which had nearly wiped them out as a group, was killed by the black-robed man in less than three seconds! What does that tell you?

"You! Could it be that you are... from the Dragon Group?"

Currently, Gemini was even more horrified, his eyes wide open in shock. He had originally thought that someone was merely impersonating Rode’s appearance to get close to him. However, the opponent had just killed his nurtured Fire Giant with a single blow. Such combat power could only belong to a true godlike player!

A godlike player, who had taken on the appearance of Rode... Gemini had immediately thought of a very reasonable explanation: the person had killed Rode and gotten hold of his skin. That’s why he could perfectly replace him...

But because of this, Gemini felt even more terrified: Rode was a level 19 elite wizard, so what level should the person who killed him be?

"Not good, retreat quickly!"

With this thought, Gemini felt a chill run up his spine. He felt sweat soaking his back and, without any hesitations, decisively pulled out a town-return scroll and ripped it open in haste.

A giant teleportation shadow emerged under his feet, covering a range of hundred meters around him.
