MMORPG: Blessed God Of War

Chapter 51: Ambush, Skeleton General Berris

Liu Ming, who was in disguise, managed to fool the two low-level undead guards in front of the City Hall’s main gate and entered with ease. However, after Liu Ming entered the City Hall, he received two system prompts that appeared one after another, instantly making Liu Ming keep his guard up.

[System Prompt (Team): Adventurer Brother Qiang has died in action.]

[System Prompt (Team): Adventurer Ghostly Shadow has died in action.]

…

Although those two players were just temporary teammates whom Liu Ming teamed up with in an impromptu situation, Liu Ming had screened them at the start and discovered that their personalities were calmer than that of the trio in Lotter City at least. However, the two of them died in action at the same time in different locations, making Liu Ming suspect that something was wrong.

However, the mastermind was clearly already a bit impatient. Shortly after Liu Ming stopped, dozens of figures rushed out from the paths in the City Hall.

Other than the five leaders—who were players—the remaining dozens of figures were all Level 35 elite undead creatures, Death Guards. The two low-level undead creatures behind Liu Ming had also become Death Guards at this moment.

Given the current mainstream players’ levels and Stats, it was almost impossible for them to make it back alive when encountering such enemies. However, even if Liu Ming met a configuration twice this size, they would all just be giving him EXP.

The only thing Liu Ming had to worry about was that this place was now the Darkness Camp’s base camp. If he stalled for too long, he would definitely attract the Darkness Camp’s high-level NPCs.

The five players soon surrounded Liu Ming together with the Death Guards.

At this moment, one of the leading players spoke with a smile. “The President’s scheme really works. As long as we guard a few key points, you fools from the Brilliance Camp will come swarming in like moths.” Immediately afterward, that player ordered the Death Guards beside him, “Kill him!”

As the player spoke, the bunch of Death Guards raised their weapons and charged toward Liu Ming to kill him.

The Death Guards were mid-tier soldiers in the Darkness Camp, which had advanced from Skeleton Soldiers and other skeleton-type monsters. Although they were far inferior to high-level monsters like Death Knights, their combat power was far from being comparable to that of low-level undead creatures.

The Death Guards had all donned shiny, black heavy armor and wielded weapons that glistened coldly. They were obviously not to be provoked. However, just as the players thought that Liu Ming was going to be slashed to death by the Death Guards, Liu Ming whipped out his crescent-shaped blade and slashed the Death Guards with it.

After successfully strengthening it to Refinement Level 20, the Sky Sword now had Stats that were comparable to an Orange weapon beyond Level 40. Although such Stats would not be increased because of Passive Skills, it allowed Liu Ming’s Attacking Power to double directly nonetheless.

The 4,000-odd Attacking Power—coupled with Moonlight Air Blade’s 200% multiplier effect and Holy Blessing’s 35% additional damage bonus to Darkness Creatures—made almost every Death Guard sustain nearly 20,000 points of damage, which were indicated above their heads.

This did not include the unlucky ones, who had been struck by Critical Hits. The Death Guards struck by Critical Hits suffered more than 30,000 points of damage.

As Liu Ming attacked, his disguise disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance. Even his information bar had lit up. However, the five players were instead frightened after realizing Liu Ming’s identity..

The leading player even exclaimed in shock, “Damn it! It’s Floating Cloud! Hurry up and contact the president and the rest. Tell them to call the High Priest here.” After saying that, that player even ignored his teammates and ran straight to the City Hall’s inner areas.

Liu Ming did not intend to chase him.

Firstly, Cara City had become the Darkness Camp’s base camp. Therefore, the city’s Revival Square had definitely become the revival point for the Darkness Camp’s players. Even if Liu Ming could kill the five players swiftly, the other party’s president would definitely find out about the situation here in the end.

Secondly, even if all five of those Level 25 players were killed, Liu Ming would still gain far less EXP altogether than what he would get from killing one Death Guard. There was ultimately still a big restriction on killing enemies from the opposite camp to advance in level.

Since their captain had already fled, the remaining four players naturally turned around and scurried away without hesitation.

The few players soon vanished, leaving behind the group of Death Guards—which were not only fearless, but also charging towards Liu Ming and launching wave after wave of attacks on him.

However, although those Death Guards were strong, they could barely cause a stir in front of Liu Ming.

Those Death Guards soon turned into Liu Ming’s EXP.

After killing the Death Guards, Liu Ming did not stay for long. Instead, he headed straight to the City Hall’s study. After all, the best item that could prove that a city had fallen would be the City Lord’s seal.

A City Lord’s seal was an important item that a City Lord used to sign and issue documents and orders. If the item went missing, even the City Lord himself would be severely punished. Under such circumstances, every main city’s City Lord treated their seals like treasures, second only to their own life.

Even if Liu Ming could not prove that Dark forces had really occupied Cara City with the seal of Cara City’s City Lord, he could at least prove that there was really a serious problem in Cara City, which required elite aid from the kingdom.

…

Liu Ming charged all the way through to the City Hall’s study.

Before he even entered, Liu Ming heard somebody cursing inside.

“I knew it! You Adventurers are a bunch of unreliable trash. You caused me to lose so many elite undead creatures. Why didn’t you get killed by the invader?”

Just as Liu Ming was approaching the study, the person inside the room suddenly raised his voice and pitch. “Who’s there!?!”

Immediately afterward, the study’s door completely shattered with a loud rumble, and an Undead General, more than two meters tall, walked out of the room. It then sized up Liu Ming with its eyes that were dark and filled with Soul Fire.

While the Undead General sized Liu Ming up, the latter also saw the Undead General’s basic information.

Skeleton General Berris: Level 40 (Death Knight)

Health Points: 175,000/175,000

Introduction: While he was alive, Berris was unknown. However, after his death, he became a famous underling of the Great Death Lord, who has killed countless Elite Knights over the years.

Although the NPC Stats were not as intuitive as that of normal monsters, Liu Ming could tell that Berris was, at most, just a Level 40 Boss-level Leader after roughly analyzing his health bar.

A few hours ago, it might have been a bit of a struggle for Liu Ming to defeat Berris. However, he could no longer pose a threat to Liu Ming now.

Berris soon smiled and said, “Are you the invader? It turns out you’re just a little guy who has just become an Elite. On the account that you’re brave and courageous, I’ll give you a good time.”

After saying that, Berris pulled out the longsword from his waist and slashed Liu Ming with it.
