Chapter 313 Kill the Leader First
"Gather everyone here immediately and surround this place. I don't believe they can grow wings and fly away," RogueVortex ordered at once.
Previously, the Supremacy Alliance suffered a crushing defeat, which significantly boosted the prestige of the Guild of Aether Wing, making them well-known.
If they could take down the main force of Aether Wing along with their leader, Black Flame, the hard-earned reputation of the Guild of Aether Wing would be destroyed in an instant.
At that time, the Darkstar Guild would gain both fame and fortune.
RogueVortex certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Immediately, the members of the Darkstar Guild began to take action.
The previous search area was too large, but now, due to the exposure of Eric and his team's battle, the area was quickly narrowed down.
Seeing more and more Darkstar Guild players gathering in the dense forest, Eric, who was hiding in the treetops, remained calm and continued to wait for all the Darkstar Guild members to gather.
"Come on, the more, the better," Eric thought to himself with a smile as he watched the number of people gathering below exceed a thousand.
Before the battle, Eric had already considered the consequences.
If he wasn't fully prepared to deal with it, he wouldn't have let FlameDancer and the others take action to annihilate the hundred-member elite team.
"President, our people have surrounded this dense forest. As soon as the Aether Wing members appear, it will be their death day," a Ranger reported to RogueVortex.
"Good, start tightening the encirclement," RogueVortex said with satisfaction, then turned to the captain of the Guardians of the Abyss, Darius Shadowthorn, and said respectfully, "In a moment, the few experts of Aether Wing will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Potter arranged for us to come here specifically to deal with FlameDancer and the other experts. Although there's now an additional Black Flame, we can handle it. We won't let them escape," Darius Shadowthorn nodded.
To ensure the complete elimination of the main force of the Guild of Aether Wing, Ethan specifically dispatched a team of Guardians of the Abyss, going all out.
Each member of the Guardians of the Abyss was an expert that the Stygian Alliance had spent years searching for and training with significant funds. Their strength was no less than that of top-tier Assassins like CelestialParagon. A team of twenty was a terrifying force.
Even the hundred-member elite team of the Darkstar Guild was no match for them, and among them, Darius Shadowthorn was a top-tier expert, well-known in the virtual gaming world. In terms of combat skills alone, he was on the same level as Isabella. However, Isabella had access to far more resources and better equipment, which gave her a slight edge.
Originally, Ethan had arranged for Darius Shadowthorn to come to Silvervale City to deal with Kai Blackthorn, but since Kai Blackthorn had mysteriously disappeared, Darius Shadowthorn was now tasked with dealing with the experts of the Guild of Aether Wing, such as FlameDancer and Tonny.
RogueVortex had personally experienced Darius Shadowthorn's strength. Despite having a higher level and better equipment, he couldn't last more than twenty rounds against Darius Shadowthorn and only managed to reduce Darius Shadowthorn's health by one-tenth.
After some time, Darius Shadowthorn's equipment was now on par with RogueVortex, the president of the Darkstar Guild.
Wearing a full Mithril Outfit, with many pieces made of Adamantite, and wielding a top-tier level 15 Adamantite Greatsword, his equipment was among the best in Silvervale City.
RogueVortex estimated that if he were to fight Darius Shadowthorn now, he would be defeated in about ten rounds.
With so many people surrounding them, such an expert team, and a top-tier expert like Darius Shadowthorn, even a top-tier Assassin like FlameDancer couldn't escape.
Just as RogueVortex was full of confidence and determined to annihilate all the members of Aether Wing, a figure suddenly appeared on a nearby tree.
"There's someone there!" Darius Shadowthorn, with his keen instincts, was the first to notice the figure in the tree and looked over.
Following Darius Shadowthorn's gaze, everyone else also looked over and saw a person standing on the tree, quietly watching them.
"Black Flame!" Sutharos immediately recognized Eric, his eyes burning with anger.
With Sutharos's reminder, everyone realized Eric's identity. After all, Black Flame had always been a mystery, and many people had never seen his face. Upon seeing him now, they found that Black Flame was just an ordinary middle-aged man, with no trace of the aura expected of a guild leader. He looked like an unremarkable man.
"So it's Black Flame. I didn't expect you to show up. Today is your death day," RogueVortex sneered. "Everyone, attack and kill him!"
Immediately, thousands of Darkstar Guild members surrounded him, layer upon layer, not even a fly could escape.
Facing thousands of people, Eric remained calm, his eyes cold as he looked at RogueVortex and smiled slightly, as if he didn't take the thousands of people seriously. This made RogueVortex feel a chill in his heart, but the feeling quickly disappeared because RogueVortex didn't believe Eric could kill him in front of so many people.
Then, Eric disappeared from the treetop in everyone's eyes.
"Not good, he's trying to escape. Use flares," RogueVortex shouted.
The Rangers quickly launched flares, illuminating the surroundings. In the range of the flares, all stealth skills would be nullified. However, despite dozens of flares being launched, they couldn't find Eric's figure.
The Darkstar Guild members didn't know that after using Spectral Knight, Eric immediately leaped, not to escape, but to charge towards the nearest tree to RogueVortex. The flares meant to block his escape route were useless.
"Not good, he's coming to kill. Use flares around RogueVortex immediately!" Orchid thought of Eric's smile towards RogueVortex earlier, and her first instinct was that Eric was going to kill RogueVortex first.
Because only by doing so could he restore the Guild of Aether Wing's reputation and prestige. Even if the Darkstar Guild annihilated the main force of the Guild of Aether Wing, if the president of the Darkstar Guild was killed, people would say, "Look how strong the Guild of Aether Wing is. With just a few dozen people, they managed to kill the president of the Darkstar Guild among thousands of Darkstar Guild members."
At that time, the one who would be embarrassed would be the Darkstar Guild.
"What are you all standing around for? Take action immediately!" Orchid shouted angrily when she saw the Darkstar Guild Rangers not reacting.
However, Orchid suddenly realized something was wrong because these people were staring not at the distance but directly above them. She looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky—it was Eric.
RogueVortex was shocked, not expecting Eric to be so reckless and daring to come and kill him.
"Black Flame, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" RogueVortex sneered, raising his shield and one-handed sword, fully prepared to face Eric.
"Such courage!" Darius Shadowthorn's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. He drew his greatsword from his back and stood in front of RogueVortex like a high wall, preventing anyone from passing.
Darius Shadowthorn admired Eric's boldness and hoped to have a one-on-one duel with him.
But his duty came first, and he had to kill Eric.
Orchid felt something was wrong. How could a wise person be so impulsive? To be safe, she quickly said, "Guardian Knights, use Blessing of Protection on RogueVortex. All healers, focus on healing RogueVortex. We must not let him succeed!"
