Chapter 334 Occupying the Ranking List
                    Violet Mistflow took the key and couldn't help but feel excited. She thought about returning to the city as soon as possible, unsealing the key, and quickly becoming an important force in the Guild of Aether Wing.
Currently, the major guilds in Silvervale City appeared calm on the surface, but beneath the surface, there were turbulent undercurrents. No one knew what these guilds were plotting, especially the Darkstar Guild and Supremacy Alliance, which didn't seem like guilds that would give up after one or two failures.
With Aether Wing being so high-profile now, it was suspicious that these two guilds hadn't made any moves.
Although she didn't know what these two guilds were planning, Violet Mistflow knew that as long as Aether Wing was strong enough, any tricks and schemes would be useless.
"The Memory of Stars?" Violet Mistflow observed the key in her hand, muttering to herself.
The Memory of Stars, a Demonic Weapon, was a key forged by the ancient and great Star Sage Ryan Reese. It still contained some of Ryan's power and was now sealed by a mysterious force. The seal needed to be broken by a Tier 3 Sorcerer to reveal more information.
Previously, the key was shown as unknown, but Eric's Omniscient Eye revealed part of it.
Star Sage Ryan Reese was one of the most dazzling legendary figures in Divine Realms: Legends. Because of Ryan's existence, the Star Sorcerer profession flourished. However, with Ryan's fall, the entire Star Sorcerer profession was buried in history. In today's Divine Realms: Legends, the Star Sorcerer profession was almost forgotten by everyone.
"Now that the mechanism has been deactivated, let's head back."
Eric looked around. The magic circle had completely stopped functioning. The next step was to clear out the Blood Hand Society NPCs outside and then wipe out all the NPCs in the Blood Hand Society's main base in one go, thus completing the crusade mission.
As Eric and the others left the Blood Hand Society's main base, a major event occurred in Silvervale City.
Originally, the members of the Guild of Aether Wing only occupied the ranks after the 40th place on the Silvervale City Level Honor Board. However, in just one or two hours, they had taken over the ranks after the 20th place as well, leaving only a dozen or so spots before they occupied the entire Level Honor Board.
No guild in all of Eldoria had ever managed to occupy the top 100 spots on a city's Level Honor Board. It was something they didn't even dare to dream of, given the number of experts in each city. There were always a few leveling maniacs, and for a guild to surpass all the players in a city was almost impossible.
Moreover, Silvervale City was not a small city. It was the most important city in the eastern part of Eldoria and the fifth-largest city among the hundreds of cities in Eldoria. Countless guilds and experts were gathered here, making it even more difficult to dominate the Level Honor Board.
But now, seeing that the members of the Guild of Aether Wing were about to achieve this, how could the players in Silvervale City not be excited? However, the most excited were the members of the Guild of Aether Wing, many of whom began shouting in support of Rosewater and others who were making the push.
Occupying the Level Honor Board was naturally a matter of joy for some and sorrow for others.
RogueVortex of the Darkstar Guild was pulling out all the stops as he watched the members of Aether Wing closing in.
He had over 600 people from the Darkstar Guild helping him level up, with each team consisting of 20 people, forming over 30 teams. These teams were spread out in monster-dense areas near RogueVortex, grinding monsters in groups.
Whenever a team was about to kill all the monsters, they would immediately invite RogueVortex into the team so he could share the experience points. After gaining the experience, RogueVortex would leave the team, and another team would invite him. With over 30 teams, RogueVortex kept joining and leaving teams, purely farming experience points, and his leveling speed was naturally impressive.
However, such a manpower and resource-intensive method could only be managed by a guild leader like RogueVortex. Others could only envy him, and even wealthy players wouldn't dare to level up this way.
But RogueVortex had no other choice. He had sent out a large number of people to find the Aether Wing members who were leveling up, but they couldn't find any trace of them. He couldn't stop them, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.
RogueVortex couldn't understand why the Aether Wing members were leveling up so quickly. Even with his method, he wasn't much faster than them. If it were just a few Aether Wing members, it would be understandable, but for so many of them to level up quickly, what kind of method could achieve that?
If Aether Wing managed to push him off the Level Honor Board, as the guild leader of Darkstar Guild and someone known for his level, he would become a laughingstock in Silvervale City.
So RogueVortex had no choice but to take this approach.
However, as time passed, RogueVortex became increasingly terrified, and the players in Silvervale City were also astonished because the leveling speed of the Aether Wing members seemed to be getting faster and faster.
The positions on the Level Honor Board were changing every few minutes.
The ranks quickly rose from 20th to 15th, then to 12th, and continued to climb, eventually reaching 10th place, just one rank behind RogueVortex.
This drove RogueVortex to madness.
"Everyone, go pull as many monsters as you can, and give me all the magic scrolls," RogueVortex's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a gambler who had lost everything, ready for one last desperate gamble. "Black Flame, if you want to push me off the Level Honor Board, you'll have to wait a hundred years!"
RogueVortex used various area-of-effect magic scrolls without regard for the cost, killing hundreds of monsters. These magic scrolls were precious and considered strategic resources for the guild, but now they were being used by RogueVortex like toys.
While the experience points were increasing rapidly, this behavior was akin to throwing money into the water just to watch the splash.
This pained the members of the Darkstar Guild immensely. These scrolls were painstakingly accumulated by the guild members, and now they were all being wasted to help RogueVortex level up. But they had no choice; after all, RogueVortex was the guild leader.
Many members regretted joining the Darkstar Guild instead of Aether Wing.
With such a selfish and self-serving guild leader, what future did the Darkstar Guild have?
In contrast, Aether Wing's guild leader, Black Flame, rushed to rescue his guild members without hesitation when they were bullied. He even ventured into enemy territory alone, leading by example, and spent a huge amount of money to compensate his guild members, earning the envy of members from other guilds. Black Flame would rather suffer himself than let his guild members be wronged.
With such a guild leader, who wouldn't be willing to give their all?
Meanwhile, as RogueVortex was frantically using magic scrolls, the Aether Wing's hundred-member team was also killing the remaining level 50 Tier 1 Blood Hand Society elites.
To deal with these Blood Hand Society elites, Tonny used Luminous Celestialflare, Eric used Flame Storm, and even Eric's guards used all their area-of-effect skills. The battle was so intense that it seemed like the world was being destroyed, and even level 50 Tier 1 NPCs couldn't withstand it.
As these Blood Hand Society elites fell one by one, everyone's experience points skyrocketed.
Not only did Tier 1 NPCs provide more experience than regular NPCs, but the level 50 over-level experience rewards were also thrilling. With both factors combined, the levels of the Aether Wing's hundred-member team naturally soared.
After killing dozens of them, everyone's level reached over 21, instantly occupying the top 100 spots on the Level Honor Board.
At that moment, all the players in Silvervale City fell silent.
Because the top 100 spots on the Silvervale City Level Honor Board were completely occupied by the members of the Guild of Aether Wing.
Seeing this, RogueVortex was stunned, even forgetting to use the magic scroll in his hand.
At the same time, a system announcement echoed throughout Eldoria.
