Volume 4, Chapter 35 – Rabble

“What’s that?”

“What’s going on? A teleportation array!”

“Someone? Wait, that’s…”

The moment the teleportation array lit up, the massive army of players present all cried out in surprise.

But after they saw the beings that appeared within the teleportation array, their shouts came to an abrupt halt.

Because…

Once the light of the teleportation array faded, what appeared atop the array was an army more than ten thousand strong, every one of them women with pitch-black wings growing from their backs and faces of stunning beauty… a Fallen Angel army…

“Those are… those are… Fallen Angels?”

Even though most of them had never seen a Fallen Angel’s true appearance, when they compared these women with black wings to the Fallen Angel image in the System’s setting, any player who wasn’t stupid could tell in an instant that these women were all Fallen Angels.

“Fallen Angels… Fallen Angels of Inferno!?”

Even someone like Fanster, who had basically no grasp of game common sense, still recognized that the army appearing on the teleportation array consisted of Fallen Angels.

“Wait… why would Fallen Angels show up here? Could it be that the ones who activated the teleportation array were these Fallen Angels?”

Fanster keenly sensed this possibility.

And in fact, his guess was spot on. The Fallen Angels really were the ones who had activated this teleportation array. Of course, this teleportation array had originally been built by the Fallen Angels themselves.

Right then, from within this Fallen Angel army more than ten thousand strong, a tall, exquisitely beautiful Fallen Angel who looked like the leader flew out.

“Insolent ones! How dare you form an army in the place where Lord of Pride Lucifa descends! You deserve death a thousand times over!”

A powerful aura began to radiate from that Fallen Angel’s body, and the very next moment, the Fallen Angels behind her all spread their wings and took up battle stances.

“Wait, wait, wait… wait a second, we don’t mean any harm! We’re just passing through!”

Fanster had no idea why Lucifa, Fallen Angel of Inferno, would descend in this place, but he really did not want to get into a conflict with the Fallen Angels of Inferno before the war against Dawn.

And as the lord here and supreme commander of this player army, Fanster had no choice but to grit his teeth and step forward.

“Who are you?”

Feeling how weak Fanster’s aura was, the Fallen Angel’s face was full of contempt.

“I’m the commander of this army…”

Fanster had not even finished speaking when the Fallen Angel rudely cut him off.

“Commander? Who are you trying to fool? With your level of trash that I could kill in an instant with just one finger, you actually dare say you’re the commander of this army? Heh… do you take me, Mihiel, for someone that is easy to fool?”

The Fallen Angel named Mihiel frowned deeply, clearly acting like she was furious at having been deceived.

“No, no… I really am the leader of this army… you have to believe me!”

Fanster felt like he was about to cry.

He wanted to become strong too, but in this game even leveling up was incredibly hard, not to mention there were the limits of Attribute Templates. Rather than scraping and struggling to become a not-very-strong powerhouse, he might as well be a slacker of a lord who just drifted along.

“You have no proof! Looks like you really aren’t honest people. Better to just kill you all!”

In truth, Mihiel understood better than anyone that this outsider army had just blundered by accident into the place where she teleported in.

But despite knowing this in her heart, Mihiel still wanted to wipe out this outsider army of a million.

First, because the outsider army was far too weak. The lowest Template among Fallen Angels was still one tier below Epic-tier, so when it came to dealing with this army that looked big in number but was made up overwhelmingly of white-tier players, it was very easy.

Second, she wanted to show Tianyin how strong the Fallen Angel army’s combat power was. After she found out Tianyin was the leader of the Ninth Faction Dawn, and then acknowledged Lucifa as her little sister, Mihiel also wanted to provide solid backing for Lucifa in their future “competition for affection”.

Third, Mihiel just found these outsiders an eyesore.

Yes, an eyesore.

Even though Mihiel had always been in Inferno and had never gone to the Main World to contact outsiders, she still felt a considerable amount of resentment toward those outsiders, who were obviously so weak yet had the mechanic of infinite resurrection.

Why is it that you’re so weak yet can revive infinitely, but I only get one life? Are outsiders so great or what?

With this kind of inexplicable resentment in her heart, Mihiel had already formed a killing intent toward this player army from the very beginning.

So without giving Fanster any chance to explain, Mihiel launched an attack on the player army without any warning at all.

The Fallen Angel’s pitch-black wings slowly beat, and endless dark light turned into sharp feathers that shot toward the crowd of players.

As Mihiel attacked, the Fallen Angels behind her all unleashed the attacks they were best at.

Because of Mihiel’s sudden strike, most of the players did not react in time. Even though some players with rich combat experience managed to respond, they still could not stand up to Mihiel’s overwhelming power as a Legendary-tier.

In almost an instant, with the attacks from the tens of thousands of Fallen Angels behind her cooperating with Mihiel, starting from Mihiel as the center, all the players within several thousand meters in front of her came under varying degrees of attack.

Everywhere the eye could see, it was all floating red numbers…

Damage numbers poured out one after another. The instant most players were hit by Mihiel’s attacks, they turned directly into white light and were sent straight into the respawn countdown.

Only a few players with especially thick defenses survived, but whether they could endure the next wave of attacks was another question entirely.

“Lord, the lord got one-shot!”

“Legendary… this Fallen Angel is Legendary-tier!”

“Hieekk! Legendary-tier is this terrifying, we can’t fight her, run!”

“Run run run, scatter and run, you want to stay here waiting to get killed and lose levels?”

After Mihiel’s opening attack, the players further back were all intimidated by Mihiel’s insane damage. After hesitating for just a moment, they lost their will to fight one after another and only knew to mindlessly flee toward the rear.

“Hmph, they may look many in number, but in essence they’re nothing more than a useless rabble…”

Looking at the army of players before her that had already descended into chaos, Mihiel showed an expression that clearly said “this is it?”

“Muu… w-what, what happened, Sister Mihiel?”

Right then, Lord of Pride Lucifa, whose small hand was being tightly held by Tianyin, flew over together with Tianyin in her semi-fusion state.

“It’s nothing… my lord, we just ran into a rabble blocking the road, but they’ve already been dealt with.”

Mihiel was still very respectful toward her lord.

“I see… Muu, then, Sis, Sis, when… When will we get to Dawn?”

After she finished asking what Mihiel had been doing, Lucifa completely ignored the players in chaos below, turned her head, and curiously asked Tianyin instead.

Glancing at the map, Tianyin happily answered Lucifa’s question.

“The place we teleported to ended up surprisingly close to Dawn. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll reach our destination today~”
