[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Ironblood Ruthless for achieving a five-kill streak in the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena! Come end his streak!"]
[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Ironblood Ruthless for achieving a seven-kill streak in the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena! Come end his streak!"]
[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Ironblood Ruthless for achieving a nine-kill streak! Only one step away from victory, who can end his godlike run!"]
Inside the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena, as the level 52 third-turn Dark Wizard man [Ironblood Ruthless] swept through his opponents, he instantly racked up nine consecutive kills.
The entire crowd exploded with excitement:
Player A: "This Ironblood Ruthless is insanely strong! Didn't expect the Ironblood Guild to have such a hidden trump card."
Player B: "He deliberately waited until now to make his move! Since each player only gets one chance to enter the arena per day, unless you can keep holding the field, once you leave, you can't re-enter! This guy clearly waited for the top experts to wear each other down, and only now stepped in to clean up the remaining small fry."
Player C: "Not entirely. It's mainly because he really does have the strength. This Ironblood Ruthless probably has a talent effect, his ultimate, Soul Suppression, can actually control two targets at once! As soon as he enters, he hard-controls both the opponent and their pet, leaving them unable to move. Of course he can beat anyone like that!"
Player D: "His pet Snow Wolf is also really strong, probably elite quality! He focuses on control himself and dumps all resources into his pet. Otherwise, normally, even if the enemy is controlled, they wouldn't be able to kill them. But Ironblood Ruthless's Snow Wolf can instantly kill both the opponent and their pet within the three seconds the master controls them!"
Player E: "So strong! Looks like the first team ticket for the Demon Hall dungeon is definitely going to him!"
Player F: "What's the background of this Ironblood Guild? To have such hidden experts! I want to join Ironblood Guild too!"
Player G: "You want to join Ironblood Guild? You just want to hitch a ride on their dungeon team and get the first-clear rewards, right? I won't even expose you!"
To prevent players from feeling that obtaining a dungeon entry ticket was impossibly difficult and losing interest in the Demon Hall dungeon altogether, the official Divine Oracle announcement had already clearly stated that the difficulty index of the Demon Hall dungeon quest in the Beast Race secondary main city, Inferno City, was 1700 points.
What did 1700 difficulty mean?
You had to know: even the difficulty index of a player's third-turn advancement quest was only 1720.
In other words, the dungeon quest was even easier than the third-turn quest that players could complete with just a bit of time.
Which also meant: no matter who it was, as long as they could get a dungeon ticket and enter the dungeon, they would definitely be able to clear it and obtain the first-clear rewards.
Seeing that this Dark Wizard Ironblood Ruthless had already achieved nine consecutive kills, and only needed one more win to secure a dungeon team ticket, Ling Xue couldn't sit still anymore.
With a sharp "shing," she drew her sword, preparing to enter the arena herself and end Ironblood Ruthless's nine-kill streak.
At that moment, Lin Miaomiao quickly reached out to stop her, "Sister Ling, don't act rashly."
"This Ironblood Ruthless, his ultimate can control two targets at once and apply an unavoidable suppression effect. Even you might not be his opponent."
"The Dark Wizard's ultimate only lasts three seconds. As long as he can't kill me within those three seconds, I can win," Ling Xue said, "Besides, he's already fought nine matches. His total attributes have dropped by 45%. In this state, he can't kill me."
Lin Miaomiao said, "I think it's better not to take the risk. After all, Sister Ling, you're the strongest among us, and now you're the only one left with a chance to fight."
"At worst, let Ironblood take the first ticket. After this Ironblood Ruthless finishes his ten matches and steps down, you can go up and avoid him. With your strength, and with the experts from other guilds already mostly exhausted, getting a ten-kill streak and securing the second team ticket shouldn't be a problem."
A cold chill flashed through Ling Xue's beautiful eyes.
"If we can't even secure the first clear of a mere level 50 dungeon, how are we supposed to build a national server guild in the future?"
As she spoke, just as Ling Xue insisted on entering the arena herself, a voice suddenly sounded by her ear: "I'll go."
Ling Xue turned around and saw who it was.
"Lin Mo? You're here?"
Although this was a guild-wide operation, Ling Xue had promised Lin Mo that no matter what, she would never restrict his freedom in any way.
So seeing Lin Mo now surprised her, she hadn't expected him to come.
Especially at the moment she needed it most.
"I said before, if the guild needs anything, I'm here," Lin Mo looked ahead at Ironblood Ruthless, the Dark Wizard inside the arena who was boasting arrogantly, and said, "Let me give it a try."
If it were Zhao Jun, He Xiao, Sun Yang, or the others, Ling Xue might have hesitated.
But with Lin Mo, she had no doubt at all. She agreed, "Alright."
First, Ling Xue knew Lin Mo's strength was definitely greater than hers. If he went, the chances were higher.
Second, up until now, she had only seen Lin Mo through screenshots and videos. She also wanted to witness firsthand just how strong Lin Mo, who was currently at the peak of fame in Inferno City, really was.
Whether he was worth, in the future, concentrating the company's resources and going all out to train. [T/N: That's called Hypercarry in games.]
Yes, Ling Xue already had this thought in mind.
That once Lin Mo was completely secured, she would concentrate the guild's resources to build him into the strongest, the kind of person who alone could carry the entire Divine Nation guild.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of Ling Xue, He Xiao, Zhao Jun, Lin Miaomiao, and the others, Lin Mo stepped out from the crowd and walked toward the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena.
At the same time, inside the arena, Ironblood Ruthless, having just secured nine consecutive kills, was shouting arrogantly, extremely smug: "Who else!"
"Come on! Give me my tenth kill!"
"No one left?"
The surrounding crowd let out a wave of murmurs:
Spectator A: "Damn! This guy is really showing off!"
Spectator B: "Nine kills, man! His stats are already reduced by 45% and he's still killing, if it were you, wouldn't you show off?"
Spectator C: "If it were me, I'd drag my ex and her current boyfriend here just to watch me flex."
Even though no one liked Ironblood Ruthless's arrogant attitude, not a single person dared step up to challenge him.
Because although players didn't drop resources upon death in the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena, they would suffer a penalty of -30% current level EXP.
Facing a nine-kill streak expert, no one dared go up and feed him for nothing.
The empty window lasted 60 seconds.
That meant if no one challenged within 60 seconds, it would automatically count as a win.
As the countdown entered the final ten seconds, still no one stepped forward.
Just as Ironblood Ruthless was feeling pleased with himself, convinced that victory was already in his grasp, that the tenth match would be won by default, and the first Demon Hall dungeon team ticket would fall into his hands, suddenly, a figure stepped out from the crowd and entered the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena.
At the same time, a system notification rang in Ironblood Ruthless's ears—
[Ding~ Player Supreme Lord · Rulebound (Lv55 third-turn Soul Archer) has challenged you!]
[Ding~ Please note, system reminder: this opponent is ranked first on the Inferno City Heavenly Rankings! First on the Rank Leaderboard! First on the Win Rate Leaderboard! Proceed with caution!]
