Brother Windcloud Nine shouted, “Gray Wolf, I’ll say this again. If you guys want to go have a 1v1 against Dark Wing, you’re free to do so. If you want to do a siege, it would be better to wait a few more hours before going!”

“Let’s go!” The Orc Undead Summoner completely ignored Brother Windcloud Nine. Waving his Skull Staff, he led his men forward.

Although the Western Continent could not match the Eastern Continent in terms of player numbers, it consisted of a few strong factions put together. The player-base infrastructure was far more complicated. The Windcloud Clan was no doubt very powerful, but there were at least a few dozens of other factions that had a matching potential.

That Orc Undead Summoner’s name was Not Gray Wolf, the vice guild master of another huge faction in the Western Continent – the Undefeatable Legends guild. Everyone in the Western Continent knew that the Undefeated Legends and the Windcloud Clan were arch-nemesis.

Looking at Not Gray Wolf leave, Brother Windcloud Nine slammed into him with a Charge, swinging his sword and attacking.

“You think you can take on all of us alone? Brother Nine, you’re too insolent!”

How could Not Gray Wolf’s subordinates just stand idly as their boss was being attacked? They all started taking action. Electro-Optic Fireballs and Meteor Arrows were all thrown in the face of Brother Windcloud Nine. Just as Brother Windcloud Nine finished off Not Gray Wolf, he also dropped dead to the ground.

One Light Priest started chanting a Resurrection Spell, reviving Not Gray Wolf.

Not Gray Wolf chuckled slyly, “Brother Nine, it was you who initiated this fight. Our two parties have agreed that whoever strikes first, their deaths will be well-deserved!”

Brother Nine completely ignored him.

With a flip, Not Gray Wolf got on his horse. Leading his subordinates, they charged towards the canyon.

While he was bringing his crew to search for Dark Wing, Not Gray Wolf sent a message to one of his subordinates stationed at the canyon entrance.

“Get an archer and stealthily kill off Brother Windcloud Nine’s wife and that Pink Girl.”

“Understood!”

Not Gray Wolf’s subordinate did just as he was told. He found an archer and had them kill off Brother Windcloud Nine’s wife Sister Windcloud Nine and the Pink Girl. Then he even used the Region Channel to send an anonymous message saying, “I am Dark Wing, come and kill me if you have the balls.”

A clip of this was then uploaded to the official website, obviously stirring up discussions once more.

“I get it now, Dark Wing’s skills are no doubt good, but the fact that he loves to kill off small-fries, unfortunately, seems to be true.”

“Why do you say that?”

“This kind of thing is almost the same as beating your meat, once you try it, you’ll definitely get addicted.”

“I’m a girl...”

Once the post on the official site appeared, almost instantly countless replies popped up. The excerpt above was only the tip of the iceberg.

Outside the Blade Forest Canyon, Pink Girl and Sister Windcloud Nine were lying side-by-side with each other.

“Is it Dark Wing again?”

“He’s almost turned into my worst nightmare.” Sister Windcloud Nine was on the verge of tears.

“Being a casual player is so tiring, I think you’d be better off hanging out more with the people from the clan. Then, you’d level up faster and won’t get bullied so easily as well.”

“Those people, they’re all grind-aholics, in their eyes, there’s literally nothing else other than grinding levels. Just like you said, it’s too tiring. We should just continue on playing by ourselves casually.”

“But we still keep getting killed, nothing we can do about that.” Pink Girl sighed.

“Alright, alright. I read on the official site that there’s an item made specifically for casual players. I think it’s called something along the lines of Traveller’s Guardian Deity. As long as you have that equipped, other players won’t be able to hit you.”

“Really?”

“Mmhmm!”

“If there really was such a thing, then I can finally head to the Eastern Continent.” Pink Girl looked excited.

“Why do you want to go to the Eastern Continent?”

“Secret, hehe...”

...

With Not Gray Wolf leading his subordinates, they soon found Li Yi at the bottom of the canyon.

However, it was different from the confrontation with Brother Windcloud Nine, Li Yi had long noticed them.

With more than 300 men, even them walking around would kick the dust into the air in the area. It would be even weirder if Li Yi did not notice them.

Li Yi stood there silently, looking at Not Gray Wolf and company laughing coldly.

The vice guild leader of the Undefeatable Legends, Gray Wolf, was someone Li Yi had already known in his past life.

On the Pantheon official site, over hundreds of millions of players voted on a certain poll, named “Top 100 Most Hated Characters in Pantheon”. Out of the list, Big Cheater Li Yi was in the Top Three, whereas, this Not Gray Wolf standing in front of him, though not in the Top Three, was ranked within the Top Ten.

Li Yi was only hated due to his scams, but Not Gray Wolf was different. The sole reason he was put into that list was that his personality was way too bad.

Not Gray Wolf’s best-known traits were kicking people when they were down and defaming people. How he just framed Li Yi by sending an archer to kill Brother Windcloud Nine’s wife was merely child’s play compared to the types of stunts he pulled in Li Yi’s past life, it completely paled in comparison.

The most infamous thing this person had done was screwing with his boss, the Undefeatable Legends Guild Master.

This all started because the Undefeatable Legends guild inventory was robbed. However, the only people with the authority to access the inventory were the guild master and the vice guild master. At that time, all the fingers were naturally pointed at the guild master. Unfortunately, that guild master was dumb enough to ask Not Gray Wolf help him verify that he did not take the equipment.

Not Gray Wolf only kicked him while he was down. Not only did he not support the guild masters claims, he even confirmed that he was the culprit who stole the equipment. The result was obvious, the guild master of the Undefeatable Legends was forced to resign from his position. The truth behind everything only came out years later. Turns out that all the equipment were taken by the Not Gray Fox in secret. His goal was nothing more than to screw with the guild master. The issue that started it all was so trivial it was laughable. It was all because the guild master once went to a raid dungeon without him, causing him to hold a grudge and planning his demise.

It would take more than an entire day if you wanted to fully list out all the immoral deeds he had done. If Li Yi only walked the path of a cheater due to a sudden outburst of emotions, then Not Gray Wolf’s path was one that was completely self-voluntary, he was born with that personality.

“Dark Wing, don’t you think you’re being a bit arrogant? You already knew that we were coming, yet you didn’t even bother to go offline to hide. Hahaha, looks like you have confidence that you can manage to defeat all of us.” Not Gray Wolf chuckled coldly. Pointing at Li Yi with his skull staff, he cast Undead Target on Li Yi, forcing both of them into combat state.

[Undead Target: The target under the effects of this will become a priority target for the Undead.]

Being put under Undead Target was no big deal, but Not Gray Wolf’s aim was obvious. He was afraid that Li Yi would escape offline, so he used the Undead Target to force him into a state of combat.

Not Gray Wolf’s subordinates charged at him, but before they had even made contact, cold air surged up from the ground. At least a few hundred of them were frozen on the spot.

This was the Frost Trap that Li Yi has set up earlier.

The level 45 skill, Frost Trap, was the upgraded version of the Freezing Trap. Only when one fully leveled the Freezing Trap up to level 20 would one meet the learning requirements. Its functionality was very efficient, not only was the effective period longer, but the freezing effect was also better.

[Level 2 Frost Trap: Range 35 yards. (Originally 30 yards. With every additional level, the range will increase by 5 yards) Freezes the targets for 12 seconds and deals 10% of the users ATK to the targets as Frost damage. (With every additional level, the damage will increase by 1%) The frozen targets will lose health automatically in 2-second intervals. Similar to Freezing Trap, if the frozen targets receive any form of attack, they will immediately come out of their frozen state.]

[-100]

[-123]

[-134]

Damage numbers kept popping up on top of the frozen players’ heads every two seconds, though the damage was not high, the damage kept on ticking. Once you add together the total decrease in HP, it was quite a significant number.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr 1 ——

After chugging down a Fury Potion, Li Yi fired a Powered-Up Arrow, dishing out a chain of piercing damage. With just one arrow, he killed off 11 people.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr——

With another Powered-Up Arrow, this time he was even more accurate. 15 more people fell to the ground.

“Attack together, this lad seems to be good.”

Not Gray Wolf noticed that his crew was not doing well, so he waved his Skull Staff and summoned three Skeleton Warriors, ordering them to attack.

When Li Yi’s third Powered-Up Arrow fired, the frozen Western Continent players finally defrosted. Without even replenishing their HP, they just charged toward Li Yi.

Li Yi’s super long attacking range was even longer than that of the Wizard class. Furthermore, the Frost Trap he placed was very interesting. As the targets were being frozen, they would still remain within his shooting trajectory. On the other hand, the targets would not be able to counterattack, they could only stay put as they get hit.

Li Yi continued to retreat whilst attacking, constantly staying just outside of the enemies’ attack range.

“What are you guys doing? Charge together, stick to him, and start hitting him!”

Not Gray Wolf could not take it anymore. Calling his subordinates useless, he personally led them in a charge.

His thoughts were simple. Even if he gets hit, he still wanted to get to Li Yi, only when he’s done that, would Li Yi’s super long range attacks be rendered useless.

He had more than 300 people over here, even if Li Yi’s DEF was terrifyingly high, he still should not be able to withstand the combined attacks of everyone here. As long as they could hit him, everything would be over.

Li Yi continued to retreat whilst attacking. Once they had reached the entrance of the dungeon, the people making up the forefront of the 300 people were frozen once more.

Once Frost Trap’s cooldown finished, Li Yi immediately placed down another one.

Once again, using Powered-Up Arrow, at least 50 people were instantly killed by Li Yi.

“Full force pursuit. This motherf*cker is about to run into the dungeon!” Not Gray Wolf hurriedly shouted. Unfortunately, there were too many people in front who were frozen. In the wild, the player collision was on.

The people behind were completely blocked off.

Li Yi chuckled as he turned around and acted like he was walking into the dungeon. In reality, just as his body was almost entering the dungeon, he used Camouflage to escape from the battle.

Not Gray Wolf continued swearing, “F*ck, all of you useless pigs, how did you let him escape?”

He did the same as Brother Windcloud Nine, even before the battle had started, he had already posted a live video feed of the battle to the official site, allowing other players to watch.

Just as Not Gray Wolf was screaming at his subordinates, Li Yi drank a bottle of Invisibility Potion and snuck up behind them.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr——

Li Yi aimed carefully at Not Gray Wolf’s head as he charged up a Powered-Up Arrow to its limit, before firing the shot.

[-2538]

The beautiful Critical Hit damage number appeared on top of Not Gray Wolf’s head. With one hit, he was killed from full HP.

“Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!”

The range of the Powered-Up Arrow did not end there, it pierced through another eight more players’ bodies, before finally hitting the ice walls of the canyons with a bang.

“There’s more of them!”

Before the remaining people even reacted, just as they turned around, they started to feel the familiar cold air creep up onto their bodies once more. Li Yi had placed another Frost Trap directly below their feet. With even the slightest movement, the trap instantly activated.

[-123]

[-135]

[-124]

The damage ticking every 2 seconds started once again. Out of the people who were frozen, dozens of them were already very low on health. This was also good for Li Yi, without him having to take any action, they would just die from the damage ticks.

Within a short ten minutes, Li Yi alone, not even using his pets, managed to defeat Not Gray Wolf and his crew, having his kill count be more than 150.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr——

The Powered-Up Arrow that was enveloped by some twisting air flowed once again and reaped dozens of heads.

“Where is he? Where is he?”

The surviving 100 plus Western Continent players were furiously looking around, but Li Yi was nowhere to be seen.
