Realm of Myths and Legends

otal Essence into the attack, but it created a more shocking scene than Minus ’ showy attack did just a few moments ago.

”So strong! ” One of the players who saw how smooth and flawless Izroth ’s attack was commented.
He could not believe his eyes already when Minus made the massive boss monster stop its movements momentarily.
However, that mystery player was actually able to knock that huge creature back a bit.
It was obvious which feat was more impressive.

”Also, it wasn ’t flashy at all! It ’s like watching a refined swordsman at work! ” One of his friends said.

Minus glared coldly at Izroth for a brief moment before turning his attention back towards the Brooding Behemoth Basbus.
He would not allow himself to be showed up so easily!

Meanwhile, Guan Yu was facing off against the four players who tried to ambush him just a while ago.
Originally when they had been discovered, the four players were going to retreat.
However, Guan Yu would not allow them to come and go as they pleased as he charged towards the nearest one to forcibly engage the battle.

The four players were dumbfounded at first that one player would attempt to charge over at them when he was in such an unfavorable situation.
However, their feelings quickly turned into anger for being looked down upon by Guan Yu.
They were not just some pushovers or low-ranked guild members of Blue Oasis, they were all skilled players in the upper-middle ranks of the guild.

”You ’re digging your own grave! ” The player who Guan Yu attacked yelled out as he swiftly held his sword in a defensive way to parry the incoming guandao.
However, he had grossly underestimated Guan Yu.

Guan Yu ’s guandao cut right through that player ’s sword and his entire body as if there was nothing blocking its path.
Since the player expected to parry the blow, Guan Yu ’s guandao easily made contact with his head and cleared him away in one fell swoop!

It was Guan Yu ’s skill Arcing Armor Crusher which had invoked the fragmented effect.
Not only this, but he also infused four points of his Essence into the attack.

The fragmented effect allowed Guan Yu ’s attack to not only bypass anything physical that blocked his guandao ’s path, but it also caused the affected target to take a percentage increase in all sources of damage for a set period of time.
However, the second part of this effect was unnecessary as the player who was the target of the attack paid a heavy price for underestimating Guan Yu.

«Critical Hit»

-2,790

The player struck by the attack had been eliminated with a single blow! That player only had around 2,500 HP and so Guan Yu ’s attack was more than enough to finish him off.

When the other three players saw what happened to their guild member, they were shocked.
One hit! It only took one hit to overcome someone who was around the same combat level of themselves.

”Come! That was just a warning shot. ” Guan Yu brandished his guandao as he seemed to turn into the beast and the three players were now his prey to do with as he wished.

”Don ’t underestimate him! We ’ll attack together! ” One of the three players had a gloomy expression on his face.
His name was I Throw Rocks, a player who had been following Minus for years ever since he became interested in the classic style MMORPGs.
Of course, he followed him over to RML when it was released.

The other two players agreed with him as they surrounded Guan Yu from three different angles.
This time, they maintained a high level of caution.
For a plate user, the person before them was fast.

Guan Yu frowned when he saw that the three of them were playing in such a safe and cautious way.
”Fine, if you won ’t come to me then I ’ll just come to you! ” Guan Yu said as he gripped onto his guandao tightly and charged forward.

…

”I can see the boss from here.
It might be the largest boss to appear within RML so far. ” The player who spoke was one of the Five Great Generals of the guild Cross Haven, Zhang Jie.
He had been dispatched by Wang Qiang near the border area of Blue Oasis to take action at a moments notice.

One of the players by Zhang Jie ’s side whistled as he saw the giant boulders in the sky.
”Wonder what those things in the air do.
This oughta be fun. ”

”Why have we come all the way to the Blue Oasis sector with such a large force? Won ’t we end up drawing unnecessary attention to ourselves with this aggressive move? ” One of the other players who stood by Zhang Jie ’s side called Platic said.

Although Platic managed Cross Haven ’s finances within RML and divided the resources, his position outside of that was being placed under the direct command of Zhang Jie.

”That ’s the point.
Heh, I have no idea what that crazy bastard is up to, but it ’s sure to be entertaining.
All we have to do is play our part, don ’t think too much about the details. ” Zhang Jie responded.

According to the scout from Blue Oasis ’ previous estimation, their reinforcements would arrive in five minutes and the neighboring guilds would not arrive for at least ten minutes.
However, Zhang Jie from Cross Haven was actually the first to arrive on the scene!

”Now should be about the right time… ” Zhang Jie muttered to himself.
He then lifted his magnificent spear into the air before pointing it forward.

”Come, let us claim what is ours! ” Zhang Jie shouted as a battle cry of more than one hundred players sounded off.
They then started to make their way towards the Brooding Behemoth Basbus.

…

”Captain! A large force of at least one hundred members from Cross Haven led by one of their Five Great Generals Zhang Jie is headed this way! They are already closing in fast on our current position! ” One of the scouts reported to Minus who was engaged in a battle against the Brooding Behemoth Basbus.

Minus was shocked.
Cross Haven? How had they arrived so fast? Or better yet, how did the scouts let such a large force slip by right under their noses?!

”What are those useless scouts doing?! ” Minus was furious.
This area was under his command and he had been completely unaware of another top guild until they were already too close to even do anything about.
