Chapter 45
MaGold was in a daze.
At this moment, he really didn’t know what to do.
What to do now? Even chasing after No One was completely impossible.
He glanced at the Heavenly Demon In Black.
This song was boosting the stats of that person.
Could he?
He formed the Mauve Flame with his hands.
If he attack her, he could interrupt that person's run.
"I advise you to abandon that idea."
Mujou appeared, along with his party.
They had just stepped out of the dungeon's door. Of course, they had been defeated by the Phantom of The Immortal Blade.
"You want to intervene?" MaGold was angry.
Mujou shook his head.
"No. I'm just here to watch the show." He looked at the figure of No One still running non-stop.
"Let me tell you something, MaGold."
"We are all top players in the First World, there's no need to stubbornly ruin a moment like this."
"We play games ultimately for fun. Not just our own fun, but for others to enjoy as well."
Mujou observed everyone there, all eyes focused in one direction, and smiled.
"Now imagine if you stopped that young man, and then repeated what they're doing yourself."
"Would everyone still be as happy?"
MaGold remained silent.
"Remember the first time you achieved something in First World. How did it feel?"
"Do you want someone to take that feeling away from you?"
"After all, we are just players, not criminals or villains."
"If you can't do it, let it go."
Was No One merely chasing the glory of being the first to meet the Immortal Blade?
Or genuinely, like all other First World players, since the game first opened, had he harbored the desire to once run through that wall of fire?
MaGold's frame of mind was truly changing.
He looked around.
Those eyes, they were no different from the eyes of those who watched him conquer the first Pioneer dungeon.
"It's been a long time since I've heard you say something without being sarcastic or threatening, Mujou."
Heaven's Pride also stepped out from the dungeon's gate at that moment.
"Just assume I didn’t want this MaGold to have all the glory," Mujou chuckled.
"Cynical but kind-hearted," Heaven's Pride laughed heartily.
If MaGold was the scheming elder amongst the top three, Mujou was the spirited young man, and then Heaven's Pride was the seasoned middle-aged uncle.
"Ah well, let's say I lost this time," MaGold shook his head.
Even if he insisted, there were too many cameras around at this moment.
If he handled it poorly, his reputation would plummet.
"If the three of us keep hogging all the glory in First World, this game would become so dull." Mujou folded his arms, watching No One run.
Heaven's Pride sat down on the ground, took out some wine and watched.
"I'm telling you, Heaven's Pride, is the wine in the game that good?" Mujou asked with a cheerful smile.
Heaven's Pride laughed heartily, tossing the wine bottle to Mujou.
Not forgetting to take out another bottle and throw it to MaGold.
"Sit down!""While drinking, let's watch how the history of First World turns a new page."
Mujou happily sat down and took a swig.
"It tastes like wine, yet you don't get drunk. How strange."
MaGold finally sat down as well.
"This stuff isn't any good at all."
He took out a jar of Immortal Wine.
"Here, this is real stuff."
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Heaven's Pride, knowing quality, grinned widely.
"You're making me want to raid the Eastern Joy Club for wine now."
"Do I look like I am afraid of you? Not at all," MaGold sneered as he poured the wine for the three of them.
He was still bothered deep inside. But at this moment, there was nothing he could do.
Mujou noticed too.
Among the three top figures, he was the most pretentious.
Asking MaGold not to trouble Moonlight Clan later would be impossible, but at least for now, with something that couldn't be stopped, he decided to just sit back and watch.
Moonlight Clan, a storm is coming, and you must brace yourselves.
Snow Step was silent at this moment.
He removed Ten Thousand Swords and walked away.
"That bastard, wreaks havoc and then acts all cool walking away?"
Sword of Love was furious, drawing his sword to confront him.
TwinBird simply raised her hand to stop him.
"Let it be. We have something more interesting to watch than you fighting him."
Sword of Love sighed and turned to look at the sea of flames.
In truth, he was more interested in watching what was about to unfold too.
Ye Yu, having just died, was now starting to respawn and run back toward everyone.What is happening?
I remember just a moment ago, they were intensely fighting, weren't they?
Why is the entire Moonlight Clan now watching No One, and the three top figures of First World sitting and drinking wine?
"Ye Yu! Why are you standing there like a statue, get over here quickly!!!"
Ye Yu hurriedly ran over.
As he moved, he watched No One running through the Sea of Flames.
Other members of the Moonlight Clan also hurried online, racing to the square that was already packed with people.
All members now had one task: to cheer on the daring individual.
"Run, poor bard!!!"
"Run! If you make it across, I'll wipe out the debt you owe me!!!"
"If you stumble, I'll upload your video to ...adult sites!!!"
"Run for us!!!!"
Ye Yu was sweating.
Hey, don't cheer like that.
.
.
.
The voice of the Heavenly Demon continued to echo.
At this moment, many eyes turned to look at her.
Could such beauty truly exist only in the game? It seemed utterly enchanting.
She gave off an otherworldly feeling.
Several of the game’s live channels didn’t hesitate to meet up and focus their cameras on her.
Tears trickled down her face.
Suddenly, everything trembled.
The trees in the square swayed.
"What is this..."
Wind!?
"Return to the time, have a cup of forgetful love."
There has never been wind in the City of Azure Flames!!!
Unless a player was using a skill, but it couldn't have such a wide-reaching effect.
They looked over; the source of the wind was from the Sea of Flames.
The azure fire, which had been burning constantly for so long, was now waning???
"Like the first time we met, for whom have you returned."
Could it be because No One is running towards it?
Suddenly, everyone noticed something unusual.
"L-Look!!! The Immortal Blade!!!"
The Immortal Blade was turning her head.
Looking in the direction of the Heavenly Demon in Black!
Some aerial cameras also captured this scene.
Could the source of the wind be the Immortal Blade?
The chat on the live streaming channels went wild.
[Oh my god, hearing the voice from the old days, even the Immortal Blade wakes from his slumber. It's so poetic, so dreamy, so full of love.]
[Look, that Immortal Blade truly woke up because of that voice!]
[Playing this game all this time, it's the first time I feel grateful to the game developers.]
[If they keep doing things like this instead of those outrageously difficult bosses, wouldn't it be better?]
"Spring returns as Autumn recedes."
The Heavenly Demon in Black was now looking at the Immortal Blade.
Unable to hold back, tears rolled down her already flushed face.
She rarely cried before.
However, anything related to that wretch would always bring tears to her eyes.
Cold to the rest of the world, yet a crybaby when it comes to the one she loves.
The cameras were also focused on her and the Immortal Blade.
Her voice, slightly breaking, carried her despair and sadness.
She truly didn't want to make him suffer for her once more.
Yet she sincerely wished to be with him.
Her chest ached, the pain spreading through her body like blood.
Countless people were dazed at this moment.
Could a crying face be this beautiful?
Qiu Yu closed her eyes and began to sing.
"Dream and awakening, the cycle of reincarnation."
No One was on the brink of exhaustion.
All the effects sustaining his life were nearly depleted.
Just a little more.
Just a little more.
The Immortal Blade was looking at No One now.
No One shouted at the top of his lungs.
"JUST ONE MORE STEP!"
"IMMORTAL BLADE!"
"YOU BETTER TREAT MY DEAR MASTER WELL!!!"
No One's shout echoed throughout the square.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Immortal Blade!! You absolutely cannot be a scumbag guy!!!"
"But the Immortal Blade is female now, so a scumbag girl!!!?"
"I'm shipping them! This must not fall apart!!!"
"Hurry hurry!!!"
No One used all his might to sprint a long distance.
Would there be enough time?
Flames ignited across his entire body.
Only 1 meter away.
He couldn't fail at this moment.
No One gritted his teeth tightly.
Ecstasy and Eternal Night were both depleted.
All the support buffs from his teammates had ended.
Suddenly, the Immortal Blade smiled.
"The dance from back then, where is it now?"
No One widened his eyes.
Of course.
"Here it is."
【First Move of the Blade Dancer: Sever The Sun And Moon】
He targeted Sever The Sun And Moon directly at the Immortal Blade.
Dancing those legs through the final 1 meter of flame.
Spinning around to land.
"Oh."
"Oh, oh, oh."
"GONE!""PASSED!!!!"
"THE SEA OF FLAMES!!! IT'S REALLY BEEN PASSED!!!"
"COULD IT BE? I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"I.AM.GOING CRAZY!!!"
The entire square seemed to explode instantly.
Deafening cheers erupted. Countless people hugged each other, screaming with excitement.
The members of the Moonlight Clan, of course, couldn't contain themselves.
Sword of Love picked up Lady Lam and Hana to put on his shoulder and ran around the square.
"Damn it! Sword of Love, put me down!!!"
"No! Ha ha ha!!!! The Clan Leader must see this from up here, hahahaha!!!"
"Only now you call me the clan leader!!!"
Lunar Ren, just resurrected, was lifted by numerous strangers and carried over to the Moonlight Clan.
Emotions overflowed.
Heaven's Pride boldly took a jug of Immortal Wine and smashed it over MaGold's head.
Drenching him with Immortal Wine.
Mujou could only step aside, letting these two drunkards celebrate with the expensive Immortal Wine.
Damn it, be more elegant, you old fools.
No One looked at the message that just appeared.
【The Blessing of the Peerless Dancer has ended, entering cooldown phase.】
All this time, he had been planning with all the skills he knew.
But he had forgotten his inherent ability.
The blessing from his master.No One sighed.
If Lady Lam found out, she would kill him immediately.
Without hesitation, No One opened his friends list.
Qiu Yu gazed blankly at the notification appearing before her.
【Player No One wants to invite you to teleport beside him, do you agree?】
No One shouted.
"Master!!!!!!"
"Master,Sir -er- ma'am- ahem. Never mind."
"Your Lover is waiting for you here!!!"
She looked at the System notification.
Then looked at the Immortal Blade, who had been gazing at her tenderly the whole time.
She could only blush and smile shyly, unable to hold back.
Like a girl fallen in love.
If I were to refuse now, it would really be letting you down.
【Agree】
Immediately, the Heavenly Demon In Black teleported into the circle.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at the one she cherished.
