Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 668: Retreat and Analysis [Happy New Year]

A huge black cloud was circling in the sky, and under the collision of four auras, it slowly turned into a vortex. On the earth, thunderous roars continued to sound from the collision junction, causing the surrounding ground to tremble uncontrollably.

In the mine, Tafina looked at the tuxedo figure less than a kilometer away from her, sensing the blood emanating from the other person, and a piercing chill inexplicably rose behind her.

the fourth……

There were four of these monsters, which made her feel creepy just by standing there.

In an instant, a deep sense of fear rose in Tafina's heart.

It’s not about the four figures in front of him that are like the demons in nursery rhymes, but about the future of this world.

Yes, the future of the world.

Even though there was no evidence, even though the powerful being who called himself Black Sword had accepted her invitation and even saved her life in the previous attack, but...

"Is it really okay to let these monsters join the tower?"

In the shadows, the gray-haired girl cautiously shrank her body, looking up at the swirling black clouds in the distance that seemed like the end of the world. For the first time, she felt strong doubts and uneasiness about the actions of the White Crown that she admired.

Unlike the girl who was in anxiety, the werewolf youth and the youth dressed as a nobleman in the north and west of the mountain range...or rather, on the battlefield, had a completely different reaction to the sudden appearance of the man in a tuxedo and mask.

"Opened! The guy on the opposite side definitely opened it! Damn, what a joke, how can they recruit two outside-level teams in!"

[Prompt (Void Tree): The test is complete. After determination, the current quota of participants in the Sanctuary Paradise is determined to be in compliance with the rules of the Expedition World Battle. There are no violations.]

[Warning (Void Tree): The hunter has been detected to have made multiple invalid reports in a short period of time. If this continues, the hunter's reporting channel will be temporarily blocked! ]

“Fuck! Damn it! Is the Void Tree blind? How can it not see such a huge offender?!”

On the hillside, the werewolf youth, whose report button was almost smoking, looked at the masked man in the distance who was smiling at them, and greeted him angrily.

Not only him, but also the white-haired young man behind him and the young man dressed as a nobleman in the west of the mountain range, all had strange looks on their faces. They were obviously puzzled as to why the black-haired young man could ignore the rules so openly and could not even be detected by the Void Tree.

"Tsk, I don't believe it. It's impossible that these two guys only took up 10 points of credits in total? Brother Bai, why don't you report them to our park?"

The werewolf youth scratched the wolf hair on his cheek, muttered something in disbelief, and looked up at the white-haired youth standing behind him.

"I tried it, it didn't work."

The white-haired young man spoke indifferently, his blood-red pupils penetrated the barrier of breath and reflected the two figures in the distance. He squinted his eyes, as if thinking about what was going on in this scene.

"Is this true? Could it be that they really have one 6 and one 4? This can't be right. Just looking at the situation, how can they have one 7 and one 5?"

Upon hearing this, the werewolf youth looked back and forth several times between the white-haired youth and the distant scene. With his eyes nearly wide open, he muttered to himself, obviously still not believing that the other side really had not violated any rules. Finally, he gritted his teeth, unwillingly took out a large loudspeaker, and shouted at the two figures at least ten kilometers apart in his sight:

"Hey! The masked guy over there, weren't you having a great time fighting with the black-haired guy next to you on the newspaper? Why are you so cowardly now that you're acting like a dog to him?!"

As the words fell, a circle of visible sound waves suddenly spread out from the werewolf youth's loudspeaker, and the voice with a bit of ruffian flavor resounded throughout the battlefield.

"That guy Evil Moon... is still the same as always."

The young man dressed as a nobleman in the west of the mountain range looked at this scene, his face twitched slightly, and it was obvious that he had some experience with the werewolf youth's public shouting behavior. However, after briefly complaining in his mind, he looked directly at the masked man in the other direction, with a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

Although he did not think that the werewolf youth's embarrassing provocation would be effective, but in the current situation, even if he could only pry a little more information out of the other party, it would definitely be a sure win for him as a bystander.

For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have fallen into a brief silence, with only the werewolf youth's shouting voice echoing from the vast mountains. When the echo completely dissipated, the man in the tuxedo and mask, who had always maintained a smile and gave people a completely unfathomable sense of weirdness, finally made a new move under the gaze of everyone:

"I didn't expect that Lord Evil Moon knew all about my affairs. I am really flattered."

The demonic voice rang out in everyone's mind as the soul energy spread. The masked man in a tuxedo standing in midair raised the brim of his top hat, took the initiative to step forward, made a simple gentleman's salute in the direction of the werewolf youth, and said with a smile:

"Regarding the question raised by Lord Evil Moon, in fact, I would like to do the same, but unfortunately, the rules of this stage are here, and even I cannot arbitrarily break the rules in this situation."

"Besides, Lord Evil Moon, don't you think it would be a bit boring if a key actor was forced off the stage at the beginning of a good play?"

A demonic voice full of convincing magic sounded from the battlefield, and the man in the tuxedo and mask answered slowly, causing the werewolf youth at the other end to tut in displeasure.

"Tsk, it's really strict."

As a hunter, he naturally knew that what the other party had just said were all just repetitive remarks used to fool people, and there was no useful information at all in them.

So, as if unwilling to be fooled by the other party, the werewolf youth raised his megaphone and shouted:
"Haha, don't try to fool me with these nonsense! I'm curious about how a rule-breaker like you dared to break the rules of the park and get involved in our affairs! Are you trying to help your park behind the scenes?!"

A loud and ruffian voice rang out from the battlefield, and the young nobleman in the distance twitched his eyelids slightly, fearing that the confrontation that had finally been calmed down would be ignited again by the werewolf young man's mouth.

The man in the tuxedo mask who was pointed out by the werewolf youth was much calmer. He just smiled gently, and the white smiley mask on his face revealed an inexplicably disturbing crescent-shaped smile. Under the gaze of everyone, he spoke:

"Your Excellency Evil Moon, you are joking. I am just a small actor. How dare I do such a shameless thing? Besides, Your Excellency Evil Moon seems to have a little misunderstanding about my current identity?"

misunderstanding?

As the performer finished his words, the werewolf youth Evil Moon in the distance narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his mind.

Not only him, at this moment, the white-haired hunter and the noble ranger, who were originally just a little surprised and distressed by the performer's appearance, all had extremely obvious changes in their expressions.

"To be honest, I am no longer a violator, but...

On the battlefield, the man wearing a white smiley mask said with a smile, gently pushed his top hat which was slightly tilted due to the confrontation of auras, and said slowly the words that silenced everyone present:

“——A pioneer who works with you all.”

[Reminder (Tree of the Void): Pioneer Performer has disclosed some of his personal information to you]

……

Codename: Performer
Number: 80639 (this is a fake number)
Class: Pioneer

Profession:? ? ?
…“……”

For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent. The white-haired hunter narrowed his eyes, as if he was confirming the authenticity of the information in front of him with the paradise behind him. The ranger dressed as a nobleman rubbed his hair, obviously having a headache because of this fierce battle between gods that was more intense than he had expected. The werewolf youth looked back and forth between the masked man and the information in front of him several times before he managed to utter a greeting:

"Fuck, this is fucking bullshit. Are all the violators of the Holy Land so f*cking cunning?"

"How is it, Lord Evil Moon? Do you believe my identity now?"

The devilish questioning voice made the werewolf youth's eyelids twitch twice. At the same time, he glanced at the white-haired hunter beside him and communicated in his mind:
"What should I do? Brother Bai, do you want to continue testing me?"

"No need, his identity as a pioneer is real, there is no point in testing him further."

The white-haired young man responded calmly with his soul thoughts, glanced at the black-haired young man and the man in a tuxedo wearing a white smiley mask in the distance, without saying anything more, he decisively restrained all the blood and energy he had released, turned around and walked down the hillside without looking back.

No matter what means the other party used to get in, since he was able to obtain the identity of a pioneer, even if he really has some problems, it will definitely not be resolved by simply reporting.

"Performer, do you still have the Black Sword?"

The white-haired young man repeated, narrowing his eyes slightly, a dangerous and expectant look flashed across his blood-red pupils, which made the werewolf young man next to him suddenly stand up. He turned around abruptly and looked at the dark shadow looming behind the white-haired young man. He swallowed and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was doomed.

As someone who was sent by someone to monitor the other party's condition, he knew very well that the other party's profession was too dangerous, which made it inconvenient to use all his strength most of the time. But even so, the other party's strength was still firmly in the top echelon among all the contractors of the same level.

But there are exceptions to everything. When encountering an opponent who is too powerful, or when the opponent faces a threat that is too great, then all the restraints that the opponent has set for himself will be untied one by one, and at that time, it means one thing:

The reincarnation of the white devil... has awakened!

……

Tassacas Mountains, west.

"Has the White Demon guy been stimulated and awakened?"

In mid-air, the young man who looked like a nobleman withdrew the gray aura that made people feel dizzy just by looking at it. He looked up at the scenery in the north, rubbed his light blue hair, and sighed with some melancholy.

"Brother Randy...ah! I just said..."

A confused murmur was heard, followed by a rapid cry of surprise. The white-haired little girl in the arms of the young nobleman rubbed her eyes, and after seeing the situation clearly, she suddenly woke up and stammered to explain something.

"Nothing, just saying hello to the others. But our Xiaoyun was sleeping so soundly just now, could she be having a wet dream?"

"I...I didn't, I just...just dreamed...!"

The young nobleman looked at the white-haired little loli who had just woken up in his arms, flicked her delicate little face, and teased her casually, causing her face to blush. She bit her lips, grabbed the young man's collar, buried her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Pfft, that's enough, I know Xiaoyun is not having a wet dream anymore, okay, Xiaoyun, come down for a moment, does your brother Randy have anything else to do now?"

The young nobleman looked at the shy appearance of the white-haired little girl in his arms, laughed out loud, touched her head, and after letting her go from his arms, he looked at the ruins of the fortress behind him that had cooled down into irregular iron blocks. His smiling eyes suddenly revealed a hint of melancholy.

"Hey, that White Devil guy, couldn't you choose a more friendly way to greet him?"

Now, his camp was already weak to begin with, and a fortress was bombed out. Considering the opponent this time, he could even imagine the scene where those guys who called him the Son of God were sent to heaven one by one to meet the "true God" they called.

"Oh, my head hurts~ I guess it's better to give up and go back to sleep, right?"

……

Tassacas Mountains, south.

"Lai Lai, is this really okay? If we let the performers out so early, they will probably unite against us later, right?"

"There is no other way. According to the information given by Yamu, given the connection between the Wanderer and the White Demon, if we don't let the Performer come out to calm the situation, the Wanderer will most likely join forces with the White Demon to eliminate the Black Sword in advance."

A strong wind with a slight smell of burning blew through the mountains. In mid-air, Xin Lailai, who was controlling the "Performer Vest", observed the messy scene in front of him through the gap in the mask, squinted his eyes, and answered in his mind.

Just like he said, there is really no other way but to let the performers perform early.

According to his plan, the Performer card should be used as a key move, or at the very least, it should be revealed after the three parties officially start a confrontation.

However, the lineups of the two opposing teams were too unfavorable to them. Not only were there players on both sides who had strong restraint on him, but they also happened to be innate allies. If things went wrong, the two sides would directly unite to eliminate him, an outsider.

In this situation, the only thing they can do is to reveal the performer's card in advance and rely on the performer's mystery to force everyone to take a step back.

"The Prodigal Son and the White Mage, as well as the Corpse Stitcher and the Summoner... no matter if they are the vanguard or the auxiliary, they are not easy to deal with, right?"

After recalling the information about the four people opposite in his mind, Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a solemn look in his eyes.

The first is the foreign-level team of Death Paradise, the Prodigal Randy. Although the opponent has little restraint on them in close combat, they can be said to be a natural nemesis in terms of long-range attacks and spatial movement.

If Randy, a roaming hunter, is here, with the opponent's superb space parade and space miasma, their space shuttle methods will most likely be ineffective in front of the opponent, and many long-range attack spells will also fall into the dilemma of being unable to hit.

As for space sealing, although Youlin Kongyu's space sealing level is as high as fifth level, it is not very likely to seal the roaming hunter whose core feature is space movement with only this single space sealing method.

After all, according to the intelligence he had gathered, in the Wandering Hunter inheritance, there were at least three methods that could deal with high-level space bans. Apart from anything else, just an ability called "Space Rhythm" in the opponent's system could allow the Wandering Hunter to instantly break more than 90% of the space bans.

This is the foundation of the top inheritance that is as famous as the Demon Scythe. Space travel and space ban that other systems need to spend a lot of effort to use and crack are as easy as eating and drinking for the Wandering Hunter.

Of course, if compared with the outer-level team in the Samsara Paradise, Randy's restraint on them as a roaming hunter is actually quite acceptable.

After all, Randy can only restrain them in some aspects of their abilities. If a real fight breaks out, he still has many ways to deal with the opponent.

But the other one was completely different. He was truly a powerful mages-centric one who could not gain any advantage in either close combat or ranged combat. He was one of the "Three Demons" of Samsara Paradise.

"Shadow of the Abyss" White Mage.
