Chapter 253: Chapter 205: Going Offline_1

[You saw the King of the Tenth Generation have his magic drained by the Water Prison. You voluntarily released the Water Prison Technique, and the King of the Tenth Generation freed himself, only to be beaten to death by numerous summoned creatures...]

[Grey Pupil escapes the Water Prison, but is set upon and killed; his ultimate end coming at the palm of the Fire Giant who has continuously evolved...]

With the deaths of three, the remaining two also cannot escape their fate and quickly follow the footsteps of their fallen teammates.

However, it appeared they were not yet prepared to admit defeat after all five of them had perished once. Perhaps feeling sure that the six opposite them must have depleted their magic power after that round, upon being revived in the distance, they immediately regrouped and launched another attack.

As expected, the result was another tragedy.

Almost all of the summons on the side of Mu You and his companions are permanent, with only the shortest-lasting Fire Giant lasting a full five minutes. Furthermore, with the added perk of increasing their combat power upon an evolutionary kill, dealing with the enemies would be even easier than before.

As for magic consumption, the magic absorbed by the Water Prison Technique was feedback to the caster. Aside from natural Magic Power not being able to replenish in time, the regular magic of Mu You and Lin Xue remained in an inexhaustible state.

Ironically, two more of the opponents were trapped by the Water Prison, drying up their magic. Four out of five had lost their magic power - they couldn’t possibly hope to win.

[In cooperation with your team, you have killed Ichi-no-Tachi, Experience +4, Life +1...]

[The summoned creatures begin to besiege Hokuto Shinken, who is surrounded by Water Prison...]

[King of the Tenth Generation, Grey Pupil and the Traceless Swordsman, realizing they were outmatched, chose to abandon the rescue and make a tactical retreat.]

[You choose to pursue the enemy, pulling back the King of the Tenth Generation using Chain Claws... The King of the Tenth Generation was jointly butchered and killed by you and the Hell Flower, and the Pea Breeder...]

This time, after the three people died, the game text did not prompt their resurrection again. It seems that the opposite party did not choose to revive nearby but returned to an unknown revival point.

Well, that can’t be helped. Unless they could be bottled up, their resurrection and escape could not be stopped.

The usage of the Storage Bottle had many restrictions. Firstly, it needed a sitting target to be effective. Secondly, anyone stepping into the shrinking radius of the bottle had to be ’not repelling shrinkage’ in order for them to be stored inside.

Which means, unless a creature willingly wants to enter the bottle, if it sees or realizes the existence of the bottle, the storage effect of the bottle will undoubtedly fail on it.

This was why the Black-robed people had to trick Mu You into entering the bottle using the Big Illusion Scroll. Only by fabricating a sufficiently real illusion could they make Mu You unaware of the existence of the bottle, thus allowing him to unsuspectingly enter the storage bottle’s radius.

The same principle applied when Mu You captured Gemini previously: hiding at the mouth of the bottle, pulling Gemini underwater with the Chain Claws, and then using the Dark World to obscure his vision, ensuring that he could not perceive the bottle’s existence. Only then could Gemini be successfully dragged into the bottle.

Even with this, it took Mu You hundreds of attempts using the Pocket Watch to rewind time to find the exact moment Gemini let his guard down, demonstrating just how convoluted this method is, and clearly, it was impractical to implement in a text-based game.

After killing off the enemy, the three of them led an army of pets in hot pursuit, eventually catching up to Grey Pupil and killing him once again.

However, the three opponents split up and ran in different directions. After killing two of them, they no longer had the opportunity to pursue the remaining one.

"The last one got away, my pet couldn’t catch up." Little Ya said.

"It’s okay, we let him escape on purpose," Mu You replied with a smile.

The trio had been rushing to the Elf Forest ever since logging into the game, riding Chocobos, which are some of the fastest mounts around.

And yet, they still weren’t as fast as their opponents... That could only mean one thing: their spawn point was somewhere in the Elf Forest.

The Elf Forest, situated along a coastline in the real-world equivalent, was where these people deliberately set out to sea from, choosing to spawn there. This clearly indicated their determination to establish themselves primarily in the Elf Forest henceforth. Therefore, their revival point was most likely set somewhere within this forest.

Hence, Mu You had previously ordered the Battle Eagle to track the escaping ’Traceless Swordsman’ in advance, in hopes of tailing him back to their base of operations.

...

Meanwhile, aboard a yacht in the northern sea area of K City.

Five figures gathered in the cabin, their faces showing signs of embarrassment.

The figures were naturally none other than the previously mentioned King of the Tenth Generation and his four comrades.

Mu You’s guess was not wrong, they had planned the early stages of the game down to the smallest detail, choosing to focus their early game development mainly within the Elf Clan. So, upon seeing the announcement last night, they immediately rented a yacht and went out to sea solely for the purpose of spawning directly within the Elf Forest.

Everything had been going well, they even managed to successfully ambush an old enemy, with the opportunity at hand to exact their sweet revenge and, thanks to the new version’s death drop mechanism, they would be able to reap some war spoils too.

They were determined to kill this person until he no longer dared to step foot in the Elf Forest ever again.

However, they never expected that the person they awaited was not some sacrificial sheep, but a ravenous wolf. Even as five against three, they were under no pressure. In a blink of an eye, the roles of predator and prey were reversed, they had become the ones on the run. On average, each of them died twice, dropped a lot of life and equipment, and suffered heavy losses.

"Damn, these three guys are a bit powerful..." exclaimed one of them.

However, his words did not serve to relieve the embarrassment but instead led to even redder faces.

It was embarrassing enough being beaten by the lantern holder, but the fact that the rest of them, two with higher levels, were run down by those they had been beating on made this loss all the more humiliating.
