Chapter 328 Post-War Harvest
After the battle between Eric and CelestialParagon ended, Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the Ring of Seven Luminaries in this battle, the cunning CelestialParagon might have really escaped.
Divine Realms: Legends is like that; if players want to achieve something and make a name for themselves, it's like rowing upstream—if you don't advance, you fall back. Today's glory could become tomorrow's laughingstock.
Although CelestialParagon's growth was impressive, it still paled in comparison to Eric's progress.
Eric then picked up the weapons and equipment that CelestialParagon had dropped.
Seeing the equipment dropped by CelestialParagon, Eric was secretly amazed. These were top-tier items in the Mithril Level, and the dropped dagger was even Adamantite. Even among the core members of the Guild of Aether Wing, it was considered mid-level. Only fellow Assassins like FlameDancer and FlyingShadow could surpass it.
CelestialParagon was a lone wolf without the help of a guild or group. To have such equipment already placed him at the pinnacle of Silvervale City. If CelestialParagon weren't a solo player, his equipment would likely be Adamantite instead of Mithril Level.
Facing a fully Adamantite-equipped Celestial Paragon, Eric wouldn't have found it as easy to kill him as he did today.
"Rosewater, is that really the guild leader?" SnowGoose blinked her big eyes, looking at the proud figure standing in the firelight, uncertain. "He's much more impressive than in the videos. He usually seems so ordinary, approachable, and gentle, but just standing here watching him now makes me feel breathless."
"Of course," Rosewater smiled knowingly. "That's our guild leader, ordinary yet reliable."
SnowGoose had always been running dungeons. She had heard of Eric but had never seen him in action. Now, seeing Eric fight for the first time, she was understandably shocked.
After all, many things can't be conveyed through videos; you have to see them with your own eyes to understand.
"Alright, stop daydreaming. Quickly clear out these red-named players. FlameDancer and the others are being chased by over two thousand NPCs and could be killed any second."
The red-named players in Stream Town were already desperate, facing Eric's NPC guards. The appearance of CelestialParagon and the high-level Overlord had given them a glimmer of hope, which Eric completely extinguished, leaving these red-named players without the will to resist.
Escape?
How?
With that kind of speed, even if they had more legs, it wouldn't be enough.
With the red-named players losing their fighting spirit, Rosewater and the others found it much easier to clear them out. In less than a minute, all the red-named players in Stream Town were eliminated, and the weapons and equipment they collected were enough to arm another thousand-man team.
Although they lost a few people and dropped a level in this battle, the gains far outweighed the losses. The weapons and equipment obtained from the red-named players more than made up for all the previous losses of the Guild of Aether Wing, with plenty to spare.
Rosewater was overjoyed to see this. She managed the guild's daily affairs and knew exactly what these weapons and equipment represented.
With this batch of weapons and equipment, once the Guild of Aether Wing recruited new members, they could immediately have a large number of elite players, significantly boosting the guild's combat power. They could even rival the Darkstar Guild. When the Darkstar Guild attacked again, the Guild of Aether Wing could handle it without the help of the Devouring Serpents.
"Guild leader, all the red-named players have been cleared. We can now assist FlameDancer and the others in killing those Blood Hand Society NPCs," Rosewater reported happily in the group chat.
"Alright, proceed as planned. Kill those Blood Hand Society NPCs in batches. Remember not to pull too many at once; those NPCs are much more sensitive than wild monsters," Eric instructed. "By the way, I need a healer here. I need to revive someone."
"I'm a Priest, I'll go, I'll go," SnowGoose excitedly volunteered in the group chat.
Rosewater smiled indulgently, "Alright, you go. We're just assisting the first-tier guards in killing those NPCs anyway."
The Blood Hand Society NPCs were level 30, while the Guild of Aether Wing members were around level 20. Except for Eric and Tonny, who could ignore the 10-level gap, the others couldn't do much damage to these NPCs. All they could do was control the first-tier guards to deal with the Blood Hand Society NPCs.
The Blood Hand Society NPCs had some intelligence, but only slightly more than wild monsters. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been lured away by FlameDancer and the others using Rangers and Assassins.
Rosewater and the others' job was to have FlameDancer and the others lure the Blood Hand Society NPCs in batches, and they would kill them in batches. With the strength of forty level 50 first-tier guards, dealing with two to three hundred level 30 Blood Hand Society NPCs at a time was a piece of cake, with no suspense.
With a 20-level gap, the Blood Hand Society NPCs only did about ten points of damage to the first-tier Shield Warrior guards, who had 200,000 health points. Even if dozens of Blood Hand Society NPCs attacked simultaneously, it was insignificant to the level 50 first-tier Shield Warriors. Their battle recovery could restore a lot, not to mention the first-tier healers behind them.
However, NPCs were still NPCs, far superior to wild monsters. They fought in an orderly manner, with tank-like warriors in the front, mages attacking from the back, supporting the front-line melee fighters, and healers healing the front-line tanks. Sometimes, an Assassin NPC would sneak around to attack Rosewater and the others.
If it weren't for Cola's quick reaction, pulling the level 30 NPC Assassin immediately, the team would have lost at least one member.
Compared to the frustrated others, Tonny was in high spirits. His Epic Level staff, Mephisto's Guardian Shield, completely ignored the huge level gap, dealing seven to eight hundred damage to these level 30 NPC elites with each attack.
A single Luminous Celestial flare could turn the tide, with thousands of damage numbers filling the screen. As the Luminous Celestialflare continued to fall, the damage increased by 10% per second, lasting 15 seconds. By the 15th second, the damage numbers on the screen exceeded six thousand, with some critical hits breaking ten thousand.
These level 30 NPC elites had only 100,000 health points and couldn't withstand Tonny's Luminous Celestialflare.
In no time, over two hundred level 30 elite NPCs lay on the ground, and everyone's experience points skyrocketed. Some people leveled up from 19 to 20, and even Tonny, who was level 23, saw a significant increase in experience points.
Despite the experience points being shared among hundreds of people, each person still received a substantial amount, indicating how generous the experience points from these level 30 elite NPCs were.
Originally, they were killing these NPCs for the guild's quest, but now, seeing the abundant experience points, everyone was highly motivated.
After several waves, everyone's level reached 20 or above, and Tonny even leveled up to 24, with an astonishingly fast leveling speed.
"Rosewater, if we keep leveling up like this, the top 100 on Silvervale City's level leaderboard will be dominated by Aether Wing members," Tonny laughed.
"That's a good idea. The Darkstar Guild has been opposing us, and RogueVortex is a notorious leveling maniac, always ranking ninth on the leaderboard. But after being killed by the guild leader, he dropped to tenth. If we all surpass RogueVortex and push him out of the top 100, it would be a huge blow to the Darkstar Guild and RogueVortex. It would also greatly enhance the reputation and prestige of the Guild of Aether Wing, a win-win situation."
Rosewater thought of this amusing idea, a rare playful smile appearing on her lips.
"Alright, let's all surpass RogueVortex!"
