Chapter 326 Wasting Resources
When Eric and CelestialParagon were betting on a battle, Stream Town was also engulfed in a bloody storm.
Originally, there were over a thousand red-named players, but now they were being slaughtered and scattered by forty Tier 1 NPC guards and the Aether Wing hundred-man team, with less than two hundred left, no longer as arrogant as before.
In the past, they ambushed players to loot equipment, making a lot of money and enjoying it immensely.
Especially seeing the terrified and unwilling expressions of those players, they found it extremely satisfying, making them unable to stop, going further and further down the path of being red-named players.
But now these red-named players fully experienced what it meant to be a vulnerable group.
Although many of them were skilled and elite players, good skills couldn't make up for the huge gap, because no matter how agile an ant was, it couldn't compete with a lion.
"Aether Wing isn't letting us live, so let's fight them to the end," a Sorcerer, knowing he couldn't escape, turned around and called out to the others.
Some red-named players thought it made sense and wanted to cooperate against Aether Wing, but as soon as they turned around.
A Tier 1 Elementalist guard used Inferno Burst, instantly killing the shouting Sorcerer.
Immediately after, a Tier 1 Berserker guard used Inferno Charge to get in front of four red-named players and used Whirlwind Slash, killing them and dropping a pile of equipment.
The red-named players who originally wanted to stay and fight immediately changed their minds and rushed towards the Blood Hand Society NPCs.
Eric's Tier 1 NPC guards were too fast, and among these red-named players, only Assassins had a chance to escape, while other classes had no chance at all. But against level 50 NPCs, the stealth of level 20 Assassins was useless, giving them only a slightly better chance of escaping than other classes.
However, the surroundings of Stream Town were all desert, and going out was a death sentence. The only safe place was with the Blood Hand Society NPCs.
So these red-named players were desperately trying to get there.
If they were killed now, all their efforts during this time would be in vain. Just recovering their current level, even if they were familiar with Divine Realms: Legends, would take at least three or four days, not to mention the dropped weapons and equipment, which was a terrifying thought.
"Rosewater, we're really making a fortune this time. All this equipment is Bronze Level or higher, mostly Dark Iron Level. With so many weapons and equipment, we could easily open a shop in Silvervale City. If we exchanged this equipment for credit points, we could buy a big house in the city center," SnowGoose, like a money-grubber, followed the NPC guards picking up equipment.
"You money-grubber, selling it for credit points would be a huge loss. Divine Realms: Legends hasn't been running for long, and both equipment and gold are scarce. All major guilds are extremely short on equipment. Even our Guild of Aether Wing barely has enough, and that's because we have few members. But once our guild base is built and we start recruiting en masse, the equipment in our warehouse won't be nearly enough. Now we have this equipment, which can solve our urgent needs," Rosewater flicked SnowGoose's forehead with a smile.
At this time, some changes were also happening on the high slope outside Stream Town.
A dark red light beam shot into the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
It wasn't just because the light beam was imposing, but also because everyone felt a huge threat.
And this light beam was from the tattered magic scroll used by CelestialParagon.
"Not good, this is a Tier 3 magic scroll, Phantom Beast Descend." Eric immediately recognized the magic scroll in Celestial Paragon's hand and thought it was bad.
The power of a Tier 3 magic scroll should not be underestimated by any player. Even at Eric's peak, if hit by a Tier 3 magic scroll, he would lose most of his life, let alone now, when Eric wasn't even a Tier 1 class.
But fortunately, this Phantom Beast Descend was not a pure attack magic scroll but a summoning skill that could randomly summon a powerful Phantom Beast to assist the user in battle.
In the sky above the light beam, a black magic circle with a seven-pointed star appeared. Just as Eric was about to swing his sword to kill CelestialParagon, a black light flashed from the magic circle, plunging straight to the ground, landing right where Eric was standing.
Eric didn't dare to be careless and immediately activated Swordsoar Ascension.
With three consecutive impacts, the original high slope ground was instantly blasted into a big pit.
If Eric hadn't used Swordsoar Ascension to be immune to nine ranged attacks or four melee attacks, he would have been killed by this.
At the center of the pit, a giant tiger, shimmering like a star, was quietly sitting next to CelestialParagon. Its silver-white eyes were fixed on Eric, baring its teeth, exuding an aura even stronger than an Overlord Grade monster.
"Black Flame, we agreed that if I could escape, you would agree to one thing for me. I wonder if this agreement still holds if I kill you?" CelestialParagon said with a playful smile.
"Of course, but you really are willing to use it. Do you know the value of a Tier 3 magic scroll?" Eric glanced at the Phantom Beast beside CelestialParagon, feeling a bit regretful.
The power of a Tier 3 magic scroll, especially a summoning scroll, couldn't be fully utilized by a zero-tier player. If used by a Tier 1 player, it could decide the outcome of a battle involving tens of thousands of people. If used by a Tier 2 player, it could conquer a large town without any suspense.
If converted to gold, many guilds would be willing to pay thousands of gold to buy it.
But now CelestialParagon used it here, which was a waste.
"Of course I know, but you're too fast. I know I can't hold out until Stream Town. I'd rather use it than die," CelestialParagon was also very reluctant, but he didn't want to experience the humiliation of being killed again. "Since I used this scroll, you can go die now."
"Go, kill him!" CelestialParagon ordered the Phantom Beast to attack Eric.
Nebulae Tiger, high-level Overlord, level 30, 1.8 million health points.
The level and class of the summoned Phantom Beast depend on the user's level and class. CelestialParagon was level 20, so the summoned beast was level 30, ten levels higher. If CelestialParagon were a Tier 1 class, the Nebulae Tiger wouldn't just be a high-level Overlord but at least a great Overlord Grade. A great Overlord Grade monster was terrifying, and hundreds of players of the same level would be sending themselves to death in front of a Lord Monstrosity. If controlled by a player, it would be even more formidable.
That's why a Tier 3 summoning scroll was so precious, because it could summon a controllable great Overlord Grade monster, which could decide the outcome of a battle involving tens of thousands of people.
