How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Before they could cautiously retreat a few steps, they heard exclamations from within the team.

"There's a thief..."

The last syllable was cut off abruptly before it could continue.

The fire mage subconsciously looked to the side and saw a black blade coming towards him. In the critical moment, he reacted with amazing speed and turned his head to avoid it.

Before he could rejoice, his back felt numb as if it had been hit hard.

Elbow strike.

The slender arms had amazing strength. They froze the fire mage in front of him in place. The dagger held in his left hand swiftly stretched out and struck straight at the opponent's neck.

Stun.

Backstab, gouge...

The fire mage's health dropped like a waterfall in less than a second, and after three attacks, it was already below the warning line.

Perhaps this attack power may seem horrible to others, but to me, I have to sigh that he is worthy of being a top player. The defense of this fire mage is much higher than that of the mage that I could easily deal with before.

Just when he was planning to use his last move to get rid of the fire mage in front of him, two figures suddenly appeared from the side.

It turned out that the warriors and knights in the team saw that something was wrong and rushed over in time.

"You can't save him."

I blinked and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Chapter 26 Shadow Legion

"Damn, where are the people?"

The knight rushed over and swung his shield but only hit the air. He thought the enemy was escaping by stealth or other hidden means, so he quickly activated his true vision to scan the surroundings.

The priest in the distance also cast illumination to illuminate the surroundings.

However, the two found nothing. The thief can use shadows to avoid the effect of illumination, but the knight's true sight can complement the illumination. If the two combined do not find anything, it basically means that the other party has left.

"Why does that thief look so similar to the wizard we were chasing before? They seem like the same person."

The warrior heaved a sigh of relief and quickly asked the priest in the team to heal the fire mage. At the same time, he was also reminded by the knight's mumbling next to him, and he was stunned.

"The same person? Thief... Dark Magic... Wait, is it the same president as Alice?"

As far as he knew, only the president of Alice had two different professions: thief and dark magic.

A strong warning suddenly arose in the soldier's mind.

Because he thought that no one could survive being targeted by President Alice.

In fact, after the two arrived, the control effect of the fire mage had ended and he used the blood recovery potion immediately, but because he thought that the priest would give treatment and that the thief had left, he did not choose to use the instant recovery potion.

Who would have thought that this decision would directly cost him his life.

Just as the warrior was about to warn and the priest was about to raise his staff to cast a healing spell, the fire mage's health had just recovered a little under the effect of the potion, when a black blade suddenly rose from behind, piercing through the mage's body in an instant and taking away all his health.

The black edge continued to have force and disappeared after penetrating a shooter and an ice mage on the same path.

As their blood volume suddenly dropped by a quarter, both of them began to bleed.

"What is this!?"

The other people in the team were all horrified when they saw this scene.

Originally they thought that they had fewer people on their side and could avoid the attack from Zhushen before making any plans, but they never expected that they would provoke another evil god.

Needless to say, the ending was obvious. The [Integration into Shadow] and [Shadow Judgment] that came with the Shadow Slayer were almost invincible in the situation of unequal information gap. The seven-member team that was divided all fell into their own hands without exception.

Even for top players, it only took five or six minutes. Looking to the other side, Vera and the others had just dealt with the remaining twenty people, and happened to look over here.

Seeing the six-man team falling to the ground, Vera was secretly surprised. It took the same amount of time for the five of them to deal with the twenty people, and each person's efficiency was four. However, there was also the factor of teamwork and the assistance of Ahri.

However, over there, only one person was able to deal with a team of six people. There was obviously a big gap between the two.

However, thinking about the other party's identity and the strength he showed when fighting with her, Vera no longer found it strange.

"Sister Vera, thank you for your help."

I called back Ahri and said hello to Vera.

"It just happened to happen, and we also earned points."

Vera shook her head, her tone flat.

However, several members of the Zhushen group nearby couldn't help but look at this little Loli with some curiosity, who had fought with the big sister and broke her undefeated record.

He looks just like an ordinary child, so why does he have such terrifying strength?

If it was before, I would probably be curious about the strength of these people, but this is not an ordinary situation. I didn't pay attention to the looks from the people around me, and asked Vera, "Are Cecilia and the others with you?"

I told those little guys when I went offline yesterday that they should act in unison after entering the mansion today, and it would be best to find a safe place in advance.

"My people have just contacted Cecilia. They are now in the Pearl Room on the southeast side of the second floor. Do you want to go with us?"

I was about to answer, but suddenly I heard Hill's voice in my ears and hesitated.

"You guys go ahead, I have some things to take care of."

"Okay, be careful."

Vera was very decisive. Without asking any questions, she took the others to the second floor.

"Hill, have you found Bayard?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Bayard has left the mansion and is under the protection of the official army. However, he told me that he left some of the information in a drawer in Room 208 on the east side of the second floor. It contains the information that Your Highness wants to know."

"As expected of someone Prince Austin values, he is so thoughtful in his work."

I couldn't help but be amazed that the other party had actually anticipated that I would come to him to ask questions, and while leaving a message he managed to stay out of it. This response was top-notch.

Following Hill's instructions, I avoided the chaotic battlefield below and went to the second floor. Fortunately, the guest room had not yet been involved in the war. Using Ahri's perception ability, I easily found the documents left by Bayard in the drawer of one of the bookcases.

There isn't much content but after a quick read, I already had a certain understanding of the situation.

Bayard was not aware of the prince's arrangements in advance until the mysterious army took control of the mansion.

This army was privately recruited by the Minister of Military and Political Affairs Morfa, and was called the Shadow Legion. They usually carried out activities disguised as a mercenary group. After Morfa disappeared, no news about this army was heard.

Until it reappeared two years ago, it was controlled by Prince Austin and handled various unknown matters for the prince. If this army appeared, it would mean that the prince was behind it.

According to Bayard's guess, the purpose of the Shadow Legion is to control the situation in the mansion and cooperate with the players in the Levis camp to attack the guards of the two empires. It would be best if they could threaten the members of the delegation.

Military and political minister Morfa?

This name sounds familiar...

Unable to recall anything for a moment, I shook my head and focused my attention on the main thing at the moment.

"It's a pretty good plan."

I said to myself.

Although there are powerful heroes such as Claire, Laerce, and other guard members inside the mansion, their mission in such a chaotic situation is definitely to protect the members of the delegation, and they cannot cause too much interference to the Shadow Legion.

And if what Bayard said is true, with Prince Austin controlling the actions of the official army from outside, the Shadow Legion would have plenty of time and could easily clear out the guards of the two empires on a large scale and still get away with it.

"But unfortunately, you miscalculated one thing."

"Hill, notify Sherlock, Satasia, Garcinia and the others to eliminate this army from inside the mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chapter 27 Coordination

Pearl Hall, second floor, Ocean Stone Mansion.

Some members of Alice and Rose Heart, as well as Vera and others who arrived later, were discussing things.

On the other side, several petite figures gathered.

"This mission is so difficult. It's so dangerous right now."

Yun Xian looked at the task at the top of the list and her cute little face wrinkled slightly.

Just now, a limited-time task was issued to those in the Princess' camp. They were to eliminate as many players from the Levis camp as possible within two hours and protect the members of the delegation.

Killing these hostile players within a limited time can earn you extra points.

Although the generous reward is very tempting, what cannot be ignored now is that there is a group of mysterious soldiers outside who are looking for them. They have already understood the strength of these soldiers during the previous battle.

I guess even if all the players in this camp were to gather together, they could only barely resist.

"That's because you don't have the ability." Ivan rolled his eyes. "This is a great opportunity to earn points."

"You want to die, get out now."

"Tsk, if Sister Qiu Ru hadn't stopped me, I would have left long ago."

Yun Qian had long been accustomed to the daily bickering between her sister and Yuwen, and stared nervously at the door.

"Is Xiaotong okay?"

"My sister said that An will come and meet us later."

Cecilia glanced out the blocked window and saw occasional flashes of fire coming from outside.

Not only the news from Yeyuan, Yuncangchanmian, and Posa, but also the vision from the mechanical gargoyles she had released in advance, all indicated that the situation outside the mansion was equally dangerous.

Several players had previously tried to leave the mansion through the balcony and windows.

As a result, when they landed, they were surrounded by the mysterious army outside the mansion, or they were attacked by the players from the Levis camp outside, and died instantly, which completely put an end to their thoughts.

Qiu Ru and others on the other side were discussing this.

"These two hours should be the time for the army to leave. Otherwise, they wouldn't give such a time point for no reason."

Qiu Ru speculated that this was the result of discussions with Hui Liunian, Shi Guangqian and others in the channel.

"Two hours?"

Vera frowned.

A girl named Honglian from Zhushen nearby expressed Vera's doubts, "The official army has arrived, so why can this group of people control the mansion for two hours without fear? Is there something fishy going on here?"

In fact, it’s not just about killing the gods, everyone also feels that there are deep entanglements hidden in this.

"I think it has something to do with that prince."

Duolan put her finger on her lips and expressed her guess.

The players who accepted the missions from the princess' camp learned the general situation from the guard members who assigned the missions, including Prince Austin's intentions, the Lewis camp, etc.

Judging from the current situation alone, this army has a great connection with the Levis camp.

"So we have to hide for these two hours first?"

"It's impossible to avoid it completely. After clearing out the people in the meeting place below, the army will definitely search the entire mansion together with those in the Levis camp."

Qiu Ru shook her head.

Alice, Rose Heart, Counter Tide and other members of their guild, as well as their ally Starry Sky Myth, were divided into different battlefields after the unrest broke out. They originally planned to join together, but their plan was disrupted again by the sudden appearance of the army.

Before they could discuss a specific plan, there was a sudden noise at the door of the Pearl Hall.

When everyone looked over, they saw Shiyan, who was guarding the door, coming over with a familiar petite figure.

"An'an~"

"Xiao Tong Mama!"

Several little guys came over first.

I patted Yun Qian's head and discouraged a bad girl with twin tails from taking advantage of me. Although I haven't seen her in the game for a few days, I wanted to catch up with everyone, but the current situation does not allow it.

"The situation is a bit urgent now, so I'll make it short."

I briefly explained the information I had discovered and the intelligence Bayard had left behind. Only then did everyone understand the general situation of the turmoil in the mansion.

"That means all this was arranged by Prince Austin."

"No wonder this army is so fearless."

"Xiaotong, do you have any plans?"
