Chapter 329 You Have No Choice
Hearing Rosewater's words, Eric smiled helplessly.
In fact, having the Guild of Aether Wing dominate the top 100 of the Honor Board was a piece of cake for Eric. The reason he hadn't done so was to avoid drawing too much attention and becoming a target for everyone.
After all, the Guild of Aether Wing was a small guild. If a small guild surpassed all other guilds, the guilds in Silvervale City would likely unite against it.
However, now the Guild of Aether Wing was no longer a weak guild. Even if they did this, other guilds would only be amazed and wouldn't feel resentment or humiliation.
So Eric did not object.
The Honor Board was the only glory for RogueVortex. Even if it meant surpassing the 20-level limit of the three major dungeons, he had to maintain his position in the top ten of the Honor Board, showing how much RogueVortex was obsessed with it.
Isabella, on the other hand, was different. To secure the first clear of the three major dungeons, she kept her experience points locked at 20 level 99.99%. She didn't care about the Honor Board at all.
After all, the title of Ice Goddess didn't come from her level but from her strength.
But RogueVortex was different. He became famous solely because of the Honor Board, so he had to go through great pains to maintain his top ten position to solidify his status.
Although RogueVortex was killed once by Eric and lost a level, he recovered quickly. With a large number of people helping him level up, he was back to level 21, though still far from the experience points he had before, close to level 22.
While Rosewater and others were killing Blood Hand Society NPCs to level up quickly, Priest SnowGoose also resurrected Celestial Paragon.
At this moment, Celestial Paragon was in a sorry state. Most of his equipment had been destroyed, and his level had dropped to 16. He was only slightly stronger than ordinary players, completely losing his former glory.
"I won this bet. You have no objections, right?" Eric looked at the dejected Celestial Paragon and asked softly.
Celestial Paragon looked up at Eric with displeasure, then turned his head away, tacitly agreeing with Eric's words.
"Someone lost and still won't admit it. What a lack of manliness," SnowGoose muttered disdainfully, having somewhat figured out what was going on.
Celestial Paragon's face changed dramatically. He was a top Assassin, not famous but a man of his word. Being mocked by a female player like this was unbearable. Even though he was unwilling, he said in a low voice, "I lost. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Why are you acting like this? You lost, yet you act like a wronged woman, as if our guild leader bullied you," SnowGoose added.
"You..."
Celestial Paragon's face turned pale, and he almost spat out blood in anger. He had never been so humiliated, but there was nothing he could do. Eric was standing right there, and he wasn't a match for Eric even when he was alive. Now, with most of his equipment gone and his level dropped to 16, he had no chance of escaping Eric's grasp.
At this point, Eric finally spoke, "Alright, SnowGoose, Celestial Paragon is a top Assassin. If you talk to him like that, his heart might not be able to take it. We should give him some dignity."
"Okay," SnowGoose nodded with a smile.
Celestial Paragon almost fainted from anger.
Seeing Celestial Paragon's gloomy face, Eric smiled slightly, "Since you admitted it, I'll be straightforward. What I want you to do is not difficult. Get me all the information about The Stygian Alliance in Divine Realms: Legends."
"Are you crazy? That's The Stygian Alliance. If they find out I leaked their information, they won't let me go," Celestial Paragon was shocked that Eric's target was this.
"I didn't expect you actually had it," Eric was a bit surprised. He had just said it casually, thinking that as an outer member, Celestial Paragon wouldn't have all the information about The Stygian Alliance. Only mid-level cadres would have access to that.
Celestial Paragon was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "Black Flame, you tricked me!"
Celestial Paragon had always wanted to enter the core high-level of The Stygian Alliance, so he collected a lot of information about them to climb up. After becoming an outer member, he was introduced to Ethan by Sutharos. Seeing his skills, Ethan took him under his wing, giving him a reserve spot in the Guardians of the Abyss. Through this, he gained a lot of information about The Stygian Alliance in Divine Realms: Legends.
But now, he had been tricked by Eric.
"Since you know, hand it all over," Eric was very interested in The Stygian Alliance's situation in Divine Realms: Legends. After all, he had already provoked Ethan from The Stygian Alliance. Who knew what they would do next? It was hard to act against an unknown enemy, but knowing their internal situation would make a big difference.
To know oneself and the enemy is the key to victory. If not for his rebirth advantage, he would have been wiped out by Darkstar Guild, controlled by The Stygian Alliance. So Eric had to be prepared.
He didn't expect this good fortune to come so quickly.
Originally, Eric just wanted to make things difficult for Celestial Paragon and then change the condition to have him report The Stygian Alliance's actions in Silvercrest Dominion. Now, he could directly grasp all the information about The Stygian Alliance in Divine Realms: Legends.
"No, this is absolutely impossible. The Stygian Alliance is far more terrifying than you can imagine. You have no idea what you're up against. You'd better change your request. This concerns not just me, but knowing nothing is also good for you. Why add unnecessary trouble for yourself?" Celestial Paragon said firmly.
"So top experts can go back on their word. I really misjudged you," Eric sighed.
"Guild leader, I knew he was a man who would go back on his word. Why bother talking to him? Let's just kill him, revive him, and kill him again until he's back to level 0. Let's see how he can still mix in The Stygian Alliance," SnowGoose suggested with a smile, looking at Celestial Paragon.
"You!" Celestial Paragon was completely shocked by SnowGoose's words.
Revive and kill repeatedly, was this woman really a Priest? Was she not a demon?
"SnowGoose, how can you say that? Girls should be reserved and quiet. Reviving and killing repeatedly is too cruel. What if it scares him?" Eric scolded, "At most, we'll just upload the recorded bet and this conversation online for everyone to see."
"Guild leader, you're right!" Snow Goose clapped in agreement.
Once the bet video was uploaded, Celestial Paragon would not only be seen as a man who went back on his word, but The Stygian Alliance, a hidden organization, would also be exposed. Even if Celestial Paragon said nothing, he would have betrayed The Stygian Alliance. Not only would Celestial Paragon lose his dignity, but The Stygian Alliance wouldn't let him go either.
"Black Flame!" Celestial Paragon's eyes burned with rage, wanting to kill the smiling Eric in front of him.
"You'd better hand it over," Eric smiled faintly, fiddling with the recorded conversation video, "All your escape routes have been blocked by me."
"You have no choice."
