Chapter 315 Breaking Through the Encirclement
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Sutharos was somewhat unwilling, after all, he had been killed once.
"Then what do you want to do?" Orchid smiled faintly and pointed to the silver forest where Eric Vanishing Strike had disappeared, "If you're not satisfied, you can chase after him, but you've already seen the terrifying combat power of Black Flame. Under that group's silence skill, it's too easy for him to kill. Once that skill's cooldown is over, he might turn around and come back to kill you. By then, you'll be his next target."
Hearing this, Sutharos thought of the scene when Eric killed Darius Shadowthorn before leaving, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He was still a bit scared.
"But what about Mr. Potter?" Sutharos was a bit scared, but Ethan was also not someone to mess with.
"I'll talk to Mr. Potter. Today, seeing the strength of Aether Wing's leader, Black Flame, is already a great gain. The rest will be left to RogueVortex." Orchid smiled mysteriously, then turned and left.
Sutharos sighed and followed Orchid.
RogueVortex and Darius Shadowthorn were both dead. What else could Sutharos do? Besides, his main task today was to bring Orchid to visit the Darkstar Guild and see its situation. Surrounding and killing Aether Wing was just a side task.
By a lake in Silverleaf Forest, FlameDancer and her team had been waiting for a long time, but Eric still hadn't shown up, and they were getting anxious.
"FlameDancer, the leader hasn't come back yet. Should I go and check?" Assassin FlyingShadow, one of the Five Demon Generals, said.
In the previous life, FlyingShadow was very solitary, but his strength was among the top. Although he wasn't outstanding at first, he wasn't bad either, belonging to the middle tier. However, after Eric brought him into Aether Wing Studios, Eric immediately put FlyingShadow into the main team, which caused some discontent in the guild. But as time passed, everyone realized that the leader's vision was beyond theirs.
In the entire main team, FlameDancer was recognized as the number one Assassin in Aether Wing. The second-best Assassin had never been determined, but after FlyingShadow joined, his skills improved rapidly through continuous battles and competitions, quickly gaining everyone's recognition and being considered the strongest Assassin under FlameDancer.
"Forget it. Since the leader stayed behind, he must be absolutely confident. We shouldn't go and mess things up." FlameDancer was very worried but shook her head, rejecting FlyingShadow's suggestion.
At this moment, a black shadow moved through the forest and silently landed by the lake.
When everyone was startled, the black shadow had already appeared in front of them, as if it had suddenly materialized.
FlameDancer and Violet Mistflow were the first to notice.
FlameDancer instinctively drew the dagger from her waist, ready for a fight.
The others also noticed and quickly drew their weapons.
Although they hadn't seen the black shadow's appearance clearly, the pressure it brought was no less than that of an Overlord Grade Boss. Except for the Guardian Knight and Shield Warrior, no one else could withstand a few hits.
"Leader!" FlameDancer quickly recognized Eric's appearance and was deeply shocked.
Previously, to escape, she hadn't noticed Eric's changes, but now, facing him directly, she suddenly realized that Eric's strength had greatly improved, to the point where she almost didn't recognize him, especially his astonishing aura, as sharp as a needle.
"It seems you all have improved a lot recently, to be able to notice me so quickly." Eric glanced at everyone and smiled with satisfaction.
The battles in Divine Realms: Legends were unlike other virtual games. Strength improvement wasn't limited to skills and equipment but also included beast-like instincts. After all, the cost of death wasn't low, and such instincts were essential.
If players didn't die in the Wilderness, reaching level 200 wouldn't take two years. The reason Eric took ten years to reach level 200 was because of the countless battles in Divine Realms: Legends, where he died countless times.
In Divine Realms: Legends, danger was constant, and guild wars were just a small part of the dangers.
So training beast-like instincts was very necessary to avoid unnecessary deaths, which was also key to leveling up.
People, in reality, were too comfortable, and such instincts were buried. But with exposure to the battles in Divine Realms: Legends, people's instincts would gradually be developed, and the speed of improvement was one of the main differences between experts and ordinary players.
Eric appeared this way to test everyone's instincts, and they didn't disappoint him. Compared to a few days ago, everyone had indeed improved a lot, though there was still a significant gap compared to FlameDancer and Violet Mistflow. However, they were much stronger than those elite players.
"Alright, let's leave here. Follow me." Eric, after testing everyone's strength, said with a smile.
Leave?
This was what everyone had been wanting to do, but it was too difficult. Now, they were surrounded by Darkstar Guild's army, and with just over thirty people, they couldn't break out.
Eric handed each person a water-breathing potion, which allowed players to breathe underwater for half an hour. Then, Eric drank the potion and jumped into the lake, swimming towards its depths.
The others followed Eric's lead, drank the water-breathing potion, and jumped into the water.
The lake in Silverleaf Forest wasn't a dead end but connected to other lakes in the forest.
This secret was discovered by players in the previous life by accident, all because they were trying to catch the silver bass in Silverleaf Forest.
The silver bass was an extremely rare and precious ingredient, far more delicious than real-life food. Moreover, eating dishes made from silver bass had a small chance of permanently increasing one basic attribute point, up to a maximum of 20 points, though the attribute given was random, which was a bit frustrating but still very popular among players.
Many players who loved food and wanted to enhance their strength would pay high prices to buy it.
So the silver bass was always in short supply, and its price kept rising.
At that time, Silverleaf Forest was crowded with players fishing, and many bloodshed incidents occurred because of the silver bass.
Eric led everyone through one underwater passage after another, gradually moving away from Darkstar Guild's encirclement. However, the exits of Silverleaf Forest were still guarded by Darkstar Guild, making it impossible to escape unscathed.
But the guild war order could only block an area for 24 hours. During this time, no one in the area could use a return scroll, and if enemy guild members logged off in the area, they would face severe penalties, even worse than death, to prevent logging off to escape.
However, after using the war order, its cooldown was two natural days, which in Divine Realms: Legends time was 96 hours. As long as they avoided the 24-hour blockade, they could use return scrolls to leave.
Eric planned to use the unknown underwater passages to stall the Darkstar Guild.
Although Darkstar Guild had many people, because Eric's team had killed the hundred-member elite team and Eric had killed RogueVortex and Darius Shadowthorn, Darkstar Guild didn't dare to scatter. They even sent more people to join the search, but they couldn't find Eric's team in the previous battle forest.
Time passed bit by bit.
After being resurrected, RogueVortex went crazy, sending all of Darkstar Guild to hunt down Eric's team, attracting widespread attention from Silvervale City players.
Why was Darkstar Guild sending more people to Silverleaf Forest?
Hadn't the previous large group managed to kill the main team members of Aether Wing?
At this time, a post by Black Flame appeared with a video.
Titled "The Death of RogueVortex!"
