Eight minutes later, it ended with a Corpse Explosion.
Alex might just be the professional to have died in the most miserable way possible in this world so far.
But you couldn’t blame Lu Ran. He was just giving them a taste of their own medicine.
At the same time.
When Alex’s name also turned grey, the entire world was sent into a frenzy once again.
“That Rogue… he’s dead…”
“No way? A Rogue couldn’t burst down a Necromancer?”
“Damn, I really want to go in and see how that Necromancer pulled it off!”
“Then why don’t you go in and see for yourself.”
“Forget it. At this rate, anyone who goes in dies!”
…
No one had anticipated this outcome.
What was even more unexpected was that the battle had lasted for eight whole minutes before the Rogue died. Eight minutes! The Rogue could have used his Stealth skill three times in that duration!
Three opportunities, and he still couldn’t kill the Necromancer?
A Necromancer who wasn’t even level 53, far lower level than the Rogue!
Over in Longxia, however.
The entire nation erupted in cheers!
All the previous worry vanished without a trace!
“See that? Assassins naturally counter magic classes, and his level was higher than the Necromancer Big Boss’s, and he still lost!”
“Haha… For the first time, I feel like my Necromancer class is just too overpowered, haha…”
“I’m convinced, truly convinced!”
“What does Eagle Nation have to say now? Is that all? Is that it?”
“Fighting for the nation’s glory, without exposing his info, staying humble and anonymous!”
“A Big Boss like this, it wouldn’t be too much for him to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, right? I wonder if he’s already a member?”
…
Speculation ran wild for a moment.
The popularity of the Necromancer, a conventional class, soared globally!
As for the four Guild Leaders.
They just watched, feeling perfectly justified, because they knew this was only the beginning.
But even they absolutely could not have imagined just how Eagle Nation’s Rogue had died!
In Sakura, Nanaemi watched as the Rogue’s name turned grey.
She sighed inwardly, her fists suddenly clenching tightly.
This Necromancer’s performance was becoming more and more beyond her expectations!
And right at that moment.
The panel in the room changed again; someone else had entered.
Level 54, Rogue.
Another Rogue?
And one on the level rankings, though his rank wasn’t as high as Alex’s.
Alex had just died, how could another one go in already?
“Club President, what… what is Eagle Nation thinking?” The maid beside her asked, her expression strange.
“Perhaps it’s not Eagle Nation’s arrangement,” Nanaemi mused. “It’s just that Alex’s death is a huge blow to the Rogue class. Plus, other Rogues might think his death was just a fluke. They can’t figure out how the Necromancer counters them, so they think ‘I can do better’.”
And so, someone immediately stepped up to take his place and challenge the Necromancer.
Comparatively speaking, Eagle Nation’s professionals were more easily driven by competitive spirit.
Thus, as if initiating a war of attrition.
Lu Ran found himself kept busy.
This Assassin lasted seven minutes before his name turned grey. Dead.
After that, a continuous stream of Assassin-type professions started this war of attrition.
Most of them had Stealth-like skills, their levels varied, their classes different, and there were even quite a few hidden classes among them.
But without exception, they all died!
In fact, the time Lu Ran took kept getting shorter. The last Assassin was the 28th to enter, only level 47, and actually dared to challenge Lu Ran. Quite a character.
Lu Ran accepted them all!
Then, other classes, seemingly unable to just stand by, started joining in, queuing up to enter.
Even tank-type hidden classes entered!
Along with a batch of professionals with healing abilities, they also went in!
4:00 PM, Eagle Nation death count: 35.
5:00 PM, Eagle Nation death count: 47!
5:30 PM, Eagle Nation death count: 55!
This far exceeded Longxia’s initial death toll.
Moreover, many of the dead were notable figures on the global level rankings.
This resulted in Eagle Nation’s professionals being almost completely wiped from the global level rankings.
Only the leaders of the major guilds remained on the rankings.
By now, no one had dared to enter and accept the challenge for ten minutes.
At this point, it really was true: whoever enters, dies!
Professional players worldwide were utterly stunned.
No matter the class, no matter the level, if you went in, you died!
Across Eagle Nation now, a cloud of gloom and despair hung heavy.
No one had expected things to escalate to this point.
Eagle Nation’s death toll greatly surpassed Longxia’s!
And currently, there wasn’t the slightest hope of victory in sight!
Eagle Nation was being thoroughly suppressed by Longxia, or to be more precise, thoroughly suppressed by a single Necromancer!
In Longxia, professionals in every major city were jubilant.
“Screw it, no grinding today. Drinks tonight, anyone in?”
“Any single Necromancer guys out there? I’m a Priest, I can heal you, you know.”
“Necromancer class guild party tonight! Anyone want to join?”
“So damn awesome! Just who is this Big Boss? I want to be his disciple! He’s my idol!”
…
The four Guild Leaders were also full of relief.
“To think that Lu Ran, the one little Yao Yao, Qin Lie’s daughter, brought back that day, would help us out so much,” Yu Cangqiong said with emotion.
“Indeed. Without Lu Ran, we would have had no answer for this wave of provocation. Even though everyone knows Eagle Nation achieved this thanks to the Black Dragon equipment, the impression it gave was still of Longxia’s weakness. The impact on our morale before the nation war would have been devastating,” Liu Xinxin reflected.
“It still has to be my little brother. My treat tonight, Tian Yuan Restaurant, to celebrate his success!” Ye Hongyi said excitedly.
“Hehe… This kid has spirit, I like him!” Lei Tai also chuckled excitedly.
The atmosphere in the entire Longxia nation, compared to when they were being provoked earlier, was like night and day!
It felt like a festival.
But Yu Cangqiong wondered curiously, “It looks like it’s about over. I wonder when Lu Ran plans to come out?”
Lei Tai, however, glared and said, “What’s the hurry? Fifty-five are dead, but Eagle Nation’s real famous few haven’t made their appearance yet. Lu Ran is waiting for the big fish!”
Nanaemi in Sakura looked somewhat numb by now.
She glanced towards the direction of the Endless Tower rankings.
She pondered, “Could someone like this really be stuck at the 59th or 60th floor barrier?”
And if this Necromancer truly had the ability to clear the 59th and 60th floors, how should she, Nanaemi, respond?
Even though she had obtained the Eight-Eyed Umbrella, the risk of continuing to push floors was still too great.
Looking back at the deathmatch arena before her.
Nanaemi gritted her teeth. She had originally felt a slight impulse to go in and see for herself.
But by now, she had completely abandoned that idea.
When it came down to it, she didn’t dare!
Facing an unknown, never-before-seen Necromancer under level 53, she was truly afraid!
She didn’t dare enter!
And right at that moment.
The deathmatch room changed again.
This time, it wasn’t someone else entering.
Rather, Lu Ran, as the room owner, had modified the room settings.
He changed it from a solo deathmatch to a team deathmatch!
Five slots for each side, Eagle Nation and Longxia.
On the Eagle Nation side, five vacant slots.
On the Longxia side, it was still just the Necromancer by himself. He had even locked the other four teammate slots!
At that moment, the whole world was shaken!
The meaning was crystal clear. This Necromancer intended to fight 1 versus 5!
