The incredible speed dashed across the Sea of Flames, resembling countless rays of light converging towards the position of the Demon Emperor George.
"Rabbit, what's the situation?" a voice came through her radio.
"There are some NPCs attacking a few rabbits, but overall, there's nothing major."
"Alright, hold on. The DMG troops will arrive shortly to handle those NPCs."
"Understood."
The person on the radio was Thanh Hi, the Captain of the DMG special task force. Rabbit was a crucial member for this operation. With her Incarnation ability, Rabbit could safely reach the Demon Emperor George's location without being affected by the Sea of Flames. After that, the DMG special forces had their own way to deal with the issue. The prerequisite was that Rabbit had to reach Demon Emperor George!
"Director, the entire team is present in Qiu Yu City. Rabbit is infiltrating the Sea of Flames."
"Good, continue with the action."
At the DMG Headquarters, it felt like they were sitting on a hot seat. They called in Rabbit because this situation was unavoidable. Rabbit was not a regular DMG employee but more like a "mercenary." Similar to the Knight of the Far Lands. The only difference was Rabbit was a "player."
About half a year ago, a girl with white hair came to the headquarters and claimed she could assist them. Initially, Director Minh didn't think much of it. Since she was introduced by a friend, he met her out of courtesy. Unexpectedly, her account was... unusual. There were no signs of hacking.However, her level was 100, despite the player cap at that time being only 69.
Her class was Incarnation of the Rabbit God.
Many aspects about her were very strange, but there was no denying that Rabbit was very useful.
Her real ID was "Xiao Yu."
However, Thanh Hi often called her simply "Rabbit."
Rabbit's speed slowed as she ran into the Sea of Flames.
Due to the influence of the Sea of Flames, she couldn't maintain her speed.
The deeper she went into the Sea of Flames, the slower she became.
"Rabbit, do you think you can reach Demon Emperor George in time?" Thanh Hi asked.
"At this speed, I should make it," she replied.
Initially, her speed was imperceptible to the naked eye, but it had slowed down considerably amid the flames.
It was still very fast, faster than No One, but the farthest Rabbit could go was now only equal to or lower than No One.
The Rabbits running felt a bit uncomfortable, but there was no other choice.
The impact of the Sea of Flames now was significantly higher than the previous Sea of Flames.
It couldn't be compared as the same kind anymore.
If it were the previous Sea of Flames, Xiao Yu could certainly maintain a speed that couldn't be tracked by the naked eye, directly flying through the flames.
But now, every second in the flames triggered countless negative effects.
These flames were indeed not right!
"Thanh Hi, I'm sending you my screen, these flames are very strange this time."
"Okay."
Immediately after, Xiao Yu's character info screens appeared.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"This is...!"
Tofu and Director Minh looked at the screen in shock.
【Fragment of Chaotic Memory x99】
【Effect: %2!3g? [Error] ERROR404】
"Is the debuff called Fragment of Memory?"
"Call the research team over here!"
This term was very "sensitive" at DMG.Because Fragment of Memory is how the locals refer to the content created by DMG.
DMG has a dedicated research team for things related to the Fragments of Memory.
Because the Fragment of Memory is tied to the history of the First World!
The details about it are too numerous to mention all at once.
But the presence of those three words further proves how serious the situation is.
"Director... what exactly should we do?" Tofu spoke up.
Director Minh was deep in thought.
Truly, everything was in chaos at this moment.
They were not really sure what they needed to do.
Stopping the Sea of Flames now meant the future had already been altered.
They couldn't be certain how much of the First World's storyline would change.
Stopping Demon Emperor George now was only for making the future path easier to predict.
If Demon Emperor George succeeded in pulling out that sword, the Era of Demons would undoubtedly begin anew.
In the original storyline, the progress of pulling out the Azure Flame Divine Sword was supposed to happen after the Tomb of The Immortal Blade was completed.
The new Immortal Blade would halt everything.
White Night was supposed to occur at least two years later.
But right now, that's impossible.
The First Boss hasn't even been completed yet.
Director Minh sighed."Anyway, let's start preparing the content for the future. We might have to discard the planned two years and start from scratch, readying content for the Era of Demons."
"What- huh?"
Tofu was about to reply to the director when he suddenly glanced at the screen, his eyes widened.
"What is it?"
Director Minh also looked at the screen.
A figure clad in light green, like a fairy, was running across the square.
The ID displayed was Snow Moon.
"Snow Vixen!!?"
Director Minh widened his eyes in surprise as well.
"What is she doing here!?"
Tofu grumbled, immediately opening a voice connection with Snow Vixen in the game.
"Hey, you crazy woman! With everything in chaos, why are you running around in there!?"
"Shut up! Mind your own business!"
"Shut up!? You pest @T*$*$T!!"
“Sure thing, you *@#&TR&#$E!@!”
"Alright, alright! You two! We don't have time to argue!"
The director had to interject to stop them.
"Snow Vixen, what are you planning to do?"
The Snow Moon character in the game continued to move without stopping.
"You'll see soon enough, boss. No One think he has found a way to stop everything that's happening."
When Director Minh heard that, he truly was taken aback.
A way?
"And you trust that guy so easily? What happened to the skeptical Snow Vixen I knew?"
"Silence, the moment you suddenly fought with me all year, then gifted me a cup of hot chocolate, only a fool wouldn't think it had poison in it."
"It was just a laxative."
"Aha, so you admit it?"
"Hmph! I'm hanging up!"
Tofu disconnected the call.
Director Minh pondered for a bit, then opened the interface with the information he had sent to No One.
Did that young man find something in this information?---
The Demon Emperor Geogre was brimming with power at this moment. The intense black flames were blazing in the center, overshadowing the blue flames of the City of Azure Flames.
The Rabbits were almost there.
The DMG special forces team was also racing to the square to respond.
Various classes stood in formation, wearing armor bearing the emblem of the Foreigner's Association. Each piece of equipment they donned was golden, some even red.
Many players who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel envious.
Especially the Mages, who, after appraising the special forces' gear, were almost blinded by its brilliance.
If this gear were to be sold, there'd likely be chaos.
"Stand still, Giovanni, Lucas, Nightingale. You are surrounded."
Thanh Hi held a musket in his hand, pointing it at the three who were now encircled by the DMG special forces.
The gun was black and rusted, appearing as if it could fall apart at any moment.
"You little pests really think you can defeat us?" Giovanni sneered disdainfully.
"I alone am enough."
He laughed derisively, pulling out a few vials of poison.
In truth, he alone was handling the situation with them at the moment.Lucas was now extremely exhausted. It was feared that he would be unable to fight again in the near future.
Nightingale seemed to be under a curse, as in her eyes, there was only the Rabbit.
Giovanni had heard rumors that the high-ranking officials of the Holy Nation were "blessed" by the Apocalypse God.
They would have an intense obsession with hunting rabbits.
Now he was witnessing it firsthand.
Thanh Hi glanced at Giovanni with an expression of utter disdain.
BANG.
The sound of a gunshot rang out.
"Huh?"
A huge bullet hole appeared in Giovanni's abdomen, so large that one could see through to the other side.
Thanh Hi's musket now had its barrel engulfed in flames.
The rust burned away.
It revealed a metallic gun with a red-hot barrel.
This was a red-tier piece of equipment.
【Athos Flame】
"Don't make me repeat myself," Thanh Hi warned.
.
.
.
The No One squad was fully prepared.
This time, he would face the Demonic.
"Alright... So what will we do next?"
No One immediately advanced into the First Boss area.
"Everyone! Get ready!"
"Understood!"
Yet, No One could never have anticipated it.
Waiting for him was not the Phantom.
But the Immortal Blade.
【Lv.??? Immortal Blade】
