Before me lay the empty Pet Space. The moment I was teleported away, the downward pull vanished without a trace… Who said I’d sacrifice myself to save my sister? If I couldn’t even wipe out over two hundred trash mobs, what kind of Assassin would I be?
Even without the Group Throwing Skill and Holy Light Blessing from my second-tier awakening, I could still handle them easily—just slower, more exhausting, and it’d expose my true strength to Yingning.
This battle wiped out 257 enemy players.
Total Reputation gained: 1,285. Total Chivalry Points: 1,285. Yingning shot straight to #15 on both the Reputation and Chivalry leaderboards.
Total EXP gained…
My current level: 11. Yingning’s level: 10. Ranked #18,475 globally and #3,327 in Asia—solidly T2-tier.
(Note: T2 denotes second-tier players.)
Looting red-named players yielded: 130 common green gear pieces, 20 green gear pieces with bonus stats, and one full set of top-tier green gear (10 pieces).
"It’s… like a dream," Yingning murmured after gathering everything. She collapsed against the mountainside, gazing up at the starry game sky. Utterly drained, she didn’t want to move a muscle.
With no one around, her face finally showed a young girl’s vulnerability.
No one wants to shoulder endless burdens. But as Guild Leader, she had no choice—she had to hold this family together.
Watching her exhausted face over video call, a pang of tenderness stirred in my chest.
"Now we’ll have peace for a while, Xiaoya. Later, I’ll introduce you to my friends… Their jaws will drop when they see you! Hah! Let them keep calling their Guild Leader a pushover! I’ll show them who’s weak now!"
Yingning’s chest heaved. Pure joy lit her face as she giggled childishly at the mountain of loot in her inventory.
This victory would be a powerful morale boost after her guild members were wiped by Jian Hui Tianxia!
Revenge still felt impossibly distant—but she’d never dreamed of striking back at such a colossal enemy in her lifetime.
She’d worried about falling behind her members, about how to face them empty-handed. Now? She’d returned triumphant, overflowing with glory and spoils!
"Huh? Who’s missing green gear? Take it! Free! These things are everywhere—no charge! Just take them!"
I didn’t interrupt her joy. Yujianlin’s crew wouldn’t reach us anytime soon. Even if they could, their morale was shattered. Right now, his guild was likely in full-blown revolt.
Impeaching the naked-incompetent Guild Leader Yujianlin—who’d gambled the entire guild’s future and burned it to ashes!
Tonight, no one would obey that criminal’s orders.
And Yujianlin would have to dig into his own pockets to compensate his members… I couldn’t wait to see his face when he logged off, checked his online banking, and found his account balance. That’d be the show of the year!
Oh, I didn’t do much. I just… donated 99% of his savings to the Red Cross Society on his behalf. On behalf of disaster-stricken children everywhere, thank you, great Guild Leader Yujianlin.
Of course, if he’s shameless enough, he could try reclaiming that donation. I’m sure it’d be… an unforgettable experience.
*"Sorry, I donated by mistake. I’m not that kind—I’m a vicious bastard. Can I have my money back…?"*
Just imagining that scene made my stomach churn.
The annoying part? I’d rocketed to level 11, yet only unlocked guaranteed healing Support skills. My one special skill? A Life Profession skill.
Life Skills Mastery (Passive): Owner and pet gain +1 tier in all Life Professions. Upgradable.
Miles apart, we both sorted through the spoils of war.
Neither of us noticed the eerie truth: the 200+ player corpses at the mountain’s base hadn’t despawned.
From each neck oozed a thread of dark-red light. It crawled slowly up the slope, etching dense, glowing crimson patterns across the mountainside.
