Chapter 76 The Formation of Nightfall Union
They knew Alan was strong, but they never imagined that the warriors around Alan would have such terrifying health bars.
"Retreat!"
The other three were somewhat reluctant. "Wait, with a five-hundred-hit combo, we have a chance."
"I said retreat." The mage emphasized, then waved her staff, causing flames to appear at Alan's feet.
These flames had a slowing effect, meant to delay Alan and give their team a chance to retreat.
However, they underestimated Alan.
As soon as he landed, he fired an arrow.
With just one arrow, their entire team was wiped out.
Because it triggered Lightning Leap.
Even the splash damage was too much for them to handle.
"Alan, who are these people?" James asked, somewhat stunned.
Alan shook his head. "Not sure yet, but they are probably here for the bounty on Demon King Greyfawn."
As he spoke, Alan had already picked up the equipment dropped by those people.
Alan said, "This bounty on me is a bit troublesome. Next, you try to kill me."
The reason he said "try" was because Alan wasn't sure how much damage James could deal now.
"By the way, these three skill books are perfect for you."
Alan handed James three skill books: Super Armor, Rage, and Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor, all dropped from the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle.
"Alan, you're too awesome."
Alan just smiled and took off all his equipment.
There was no other way; if he wore his equipment, James wouldn't be able to kill him.
"Come on."
James didn't hesitate at all. He had already completed his job change, choosing the path of a berserker instead of a shield warrior.
He felt that after binding with Alan, he already had extremely high health, and taking the Berserker path to make up for his lack of damage was the wisest choice.
Plus, with his three passive skills, he could potentially be invincible.
One sword strike.
[-918.]
The damage was decent. He had previously completed David's quest and received equipment rewards.
Then he killed Alan once and got the Stellaria bounty reward.
Combined with some equipment he had accumulated, his attack power was now quite impressive.
But just as Alan dealt the damage, healing numbers appeared above his head.
[+46.]
[+500.]
These were the effects of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor skill and the Revival skill.
There was no other way.
Alan could take off his equipment, but he couldn't remove his skills.
"Wait a minute, this is too slow."
Alan went to kill ordinary Blood-Backed Turtles until he spawned five Blood-Eyed Turtles, and then he stopped.
The five Blood-Eyed Turtles attacked Alan furiously.
As level 45 iron bosses, they managed to take down a third of Alan's health in a short time when he didn't fight back.
When he had just over ten thousand health left, Alan ran away.
After leaving combat, James was ready and started attacking Alan furiously.
[-919.]
Rock Slash!
[-1,258.]
[-1,258.]
The skill triggered the passive skill Double Slash, so one skill dealt two instances of damage.
This allowed James to gain an early advantage.
Under James' storm-like attacks, Alan was killed.
Because of his high Infamy Value, he dropped to level one without any suspense.
He revived at the resurrection altar.
Alan's Infamy Value immediately drew a lot of attention, but they soon realized a serious problem.
Greyfawn's bounty was gone because Alan had already been killed.
Without any benefits, no one was interested in Alan anymore.
With no bounty on Alan, continuing to trouble him would just be a waste of time.
However, just because players wouldn't bother him didn't mean the city guards wouldn't.
Shortly after Alan revived, a squad of city guards rushed over.
"Lindataria do not welcome heinous criminals. Please leave immediately."
Alan raised an eyebrow.
Being expelled from Central City was entirely within Alan's expectations.
But just then, an elder’s voice rang out.
"Step aside."
At the sound, the city guard captain frowned. "City guards enforcing the law, bystanders should clear the way!"
Upon hearing this, Barbara took out a token from her bosom.
The moment they saw the token, the city guards immediately bowed respectfully. "Welcome, sir."
"I'm taking this person with me," Barbara said calmly, then led Alan away.
Some players around were very surprised to see this.
To most players, the city guards held a very high status in Central City.
The city guards could handle many matters.
But today, the city guards collectively knelt to someone, and after kneeling, they took Alan away.
"What's happening with Ice King? Why is he being taken away?"
"Could it be because his Infamy Value is too high, and he's going to be executed?"
"Doesn't look like it. Based on my experience, Ice King probably triggered some hidden reward."
Players around were discussing fervently.
Alan, however, followed Barbara into the palace.
"Ice King, you're a smart person. You should know what to say when you meet the king."
"Understood." Alan nodded.
Barbara led Alan to a palace
wherethey could hear people toasting and exchanging pleasantries.
Occasionally, voices flattered Leona.
"Leona, you're truly a rising star, so young and already with powerful allies."
Then someone asked, "Leona, who is this benefactor of yours? Can you tell us?"
The NPCs in Ragnarok were very clever. Upon hearing the server-wide announcement, they knew that the one who killed Grelorin wasn't one of their own.
According to the rules of this world, only adventurers or adventurer teams that first killed a boss would trigger a server-wide announcement.
"Prime Minister, I must keep the benefactor's identity a secret. I cannot disclose it; please understand." Leona politely declined.
At this moment, Prime Minister Loren grinned and said, "I've heard of an adventurer named Ice King who's causing quite a stir in Stellaria, claiming many server-wide announcements."
"It's a pity he's a criminal with a million Infamy Value; otherwise, he could be taken as a disciple and nurtured."
At this point, Prime Minister Loren paused, then subconsciously said, "Leona, it wasn't that criminal Ice King who helped you kill Grelorin, was it?"
Upon hearing this, Leona's face darkened.
"Prime Minister, you've been in politics for a long time. Making unfounded speculations about uncertain matters is not appropriate!"
