Chapter 208: Legendary Master—the Fuse of War

Tiger Cub!

This man fully clothed in common black leather armor had Qin Ruo’s full attention as soon as he emerged, and soon Qin Ruo was feeling anxious by his presence!

Damn, this guy is just a bit handsome with charming eyes. The weapon in his hand is a bit better than Dark Gold grade. Also his appearance is a bit mysterious…

*Cough cough*

Qin Ruo faked a cough. He justly summed up all the above ‘a bit’ and ‘honestly’ thinking that the opponent was not that strong after all. He could not understand why a mighty warrior like Slayer’s Heart would be afraid of him to the extent of chasing him away from the battlefield for the first time.

Uh, incorrect.

There was another bit. Once this person surfaced, Camus and the few Twelve Zodiacs Elementalists began to behave like they had been drugged. The former desperately consumed HP Potions to pursue and attack Slayer’s Heart without taking the consequences into account; while the three other Elementalists also started to fearlessly throw out one AoE Magic Scroll after another. Their wild actions destroyed most of the Frostramparts that surrounded them almost instantaneously with only a small portion of the rampart remaining.

The interference by the three Elementalists tightened Slayer’s Heart battle situation since he was being distracted by the continuous scroll casting. At the same time, he did not forget to reissue his warning through the voice channel, “Go!”

“Cut the crap! We will leave together!”

Qin Ruo unsurprisingly ignored such an order by the party leader Slayer’s Heart. He calmly answered back while maintaining his Elementalism on the remaining two Frostramparts as well as the third one he had just condensed. He had to keep working hard on creating problems for the three Elementalists for Slayer’s Heart sake.

At the same time, Qin Ruo also did not dare to dismiss the man who had just deactivated his Stealth. He kept a close eye on him and reminded Slayer’s Heart to flee in the opposite direction; while contemplating on a detailed escape plan.

“If only we could flee that easily… You should have heard Tiger Cub’s nickname before…”

“He is what others know as Savage Cub. Do you understand what I mean?”

Once Slayer’s Heart ended his sentence, Qin Ruo felt as if his chest was just hammered repeatedly! He then felt a cold shiver go down his spine!

Savage Cub! That very Cub?!

Qin Ruo stumbled and took in a deep, cold breath.

It’s him?!

The very myth on this Mythical Battlefield, who was the first ever Tier 4 legendary player to successfully ambush and kill a Tier 5 supreme master—the one who got killed was none other than the leader of Bauhinia League—Scarlet Bauhinia!

Shit! F*ck! Damn it!

When did such a legendary player join Twelve Zodiacs?!

No wonder…

No wonder he could conceal himself from the Elemental Perception, no wonder even a player as strong as ‘Slayer’s Heart’ would choose to escape when faced with him! Damn!

Qin Ruo almost failed to regain his composure. This person was once his idol in the game. He still remembered that half a year ago, many players in the forum had given him a rather pertinent appraisal—the combination of Stealth and Cloak made him a Master-tier Elementalist reaper!

Tiger Cub was best at utilizing the hidden skill ‘Cloak’. When used with Stealth, not even Elemental Perception could detect his presence. Except for a small group of Master-tier Bowmasters, it was safe to say that not a single player could discover his whereabouts when he had both skills activated. After Scarlet Bauhinia, Tiger Cub had successively assassinated few more well-known Angel Faction’s Master-tier players. This caused a lot of parties from the Angel Faction to feel subjugated at one time…

Many solo Master-tier players did not even dare to move from their safe location for a few days. Only after they had ascertained his location were they willing to travel using a more remote path.

Truthfully, from the day H&G was launched until this day, nobody else could single-handedly command such powerful influence like Tiger Cub, which almost surpassed the Seven Great Leagues. However, with the emergence of Master-tier Bowmasters, Tiger Cub was finally defeated and after several times, he went quiet and was not heard from ever since.

While Qin Ruo was still in a daze with the revelation, Slayer’s Heart continued fighting the relentless Camus and started a conversation with Tiger Cub who bent down to retrieve the equipment dropped by Saga at the same time…

“We meet again. Captain Slayer, you’ve not aged one bit.”

Tiger Cub was the first to speak. Although he was behaving chummy with Slayer’s Heart, he was in actual fact being rude as he did not look at Slayer’s Heart while talking. Instead, he strolled back and forth across the few Frostramparts lying on the battlefield, then straightened his body and mumbled softly as if to himself, “Three Field Commanders plus twelve elites from my Twelve Zodiacs… Yet they were unable to take care of three people. Captain Slayer must be certainly bored by the lack of challenge, right?”

He did not rush his speech, as if he was talking to an old friend. In Qin Ruo’s ears however, it meant something else—Qin Ruo understood that he, a legendary Master powerhouse, was about to take on Slayer’s Heart personally.

Thinking of that, Qin Ruo’s heart skipped a beat!

Slayer’s Heart’s hearty laugh rang in his ears…

“Hahahaha!”

“You are quite right!”

Slayer’s Heart released a roar and suddenly sped up his charge! Pazuzu’s Warhammer abruptly “hooked” the Steel Berserker’s left leg at an unbelievable tricky angle from the back!

A hook which was followed by a knock!

“Camus” who was as sturdy as a mountain a moment ago lost control of his balance and his body was flung a distance away following Slayer’s Heart’s rumble! Slayer’s Heart responded to Tiger Cub through his actions…

The fight was over!

Slayer’s Heart regained his stance afterward. The Pazuzu’s Warhammer dropped heavily on the rather soft land. He ignored the three Elementalists that were desperately trying to dash out from the Frostrampart Formation reconstructed by Qin Ruo, and addressed Tiger Cub with his chin high and his spirits boosted.

“These few pieces of trash are unworthy to challenge me, you are up next! Let me see how smart the legendary Savage Cub has become after being equipped with a Legendary-grade weapon.”

Tiger Cub let out a soft “hmph” and casually glanced at the sprawled Camus then looked at the Elementalists all trapped by Qin Ruo’s Frostrampart—unable to threaten Slayer’s Heart anytime soon. After that, he flicked his wrist to reveal the Legendary-grade dagger that had just tasted blood—the Reaper’s End.

“You are well aware that you are no match for me, aren’t you?”

Tiger Cub did not take Slayer’s Heart seriously at all.

“Hmph, stop bragging. You will know whether I am a worthy match after the fight!” Slayer’s Heart refused to back down. However, he did not go for the first move. After all, Camus was still glaring intently at the side. This was not the time and place to act tough.

Still ignoring him, Tiger Cub continued to fiddle with the Reaper’s End that possessed a special poison attribute while speaking softly, “You are doing this for your Aquamancer friend? Heh, I guess you are worrying too much. He is very special… Water Elemental Perception, Elementalism, plus skills similar to the Cloak and Stealth combo, which are all very powerful. As long as he wishes to, he can retreat from here anytime and I would not be able to stop him. You should worry more about yourself instead… Don’t tell me you have forgotten that your return to the Mythical Battlefield… Which signifies that the great battle between your ‘Bauhinia League’ and the Maverick Vatican is bound to take place not long from now.”

Up to this point, Tiger Cub finally looked at Slayer’s Heart with an amused glint in his eyes.

He spoke in a lackadaisical tone that carried a hint of anticipation, “Are you ready to return as the Field Commander of Bauhinia League and light the fuse for the battle between the Angel and Demon Faction?”

“…”

Camus no longer barged in to fight Slayer’s Heart when Tiger Cub was speaking. He just gripped tight to his weapon and glanced at his opponent unforgivingly. He secured his battle status while taking a quick scan on the situation at the other end of the battlefield.

Slayer’s Heart was lost for words after Tiger Cub ended his statement.

“…”

Qin Ruo too, fell silent after that. He charged the repetitive and complex Frostrampart while contemplating.

To return as the Field Commander? Light the fuse for the battle between the two rival factions?

What is going on here?

Stumped by the shocking statement, Qin Ruo saw Slayer’s Heart abruptly raise his Pazuzu’s Warhammer after a mere three seconds of silence. Expressionless, he pointed his weapon towards Tiger Cub and said each word coldly, “It is none of your business.”

“…”

Tiger Cub looked at him and scoffed lightly.

“Besides…”

Slayer’s Heart remained impassive and maintained his grim tone.

“I just realized today that… you are such a chatterbox…” When the second part of the sentence was uttered, the mocking smile on Tiger Cub’s face immediately turned to a menacing sneer.

*Tsk!*

Without any delay, Tiger Cub’s body changed into another form. It was hard to describe what that was, but it was definitely inhuman. Then, it (Tiger Cub’s form) quickly merged with Silentdeath Jungle as if it had vanished into the thin air. Tiger Cub did that to express his displeasure toward Slayer’s Heart’s last comment!

Slayer’s Heart provoked Tiger Cub on purpose. He nervously urged Qin Ruo once again to inform everyone to flee immediately. Without waiting for Qin Ruo’s reply, he then resolutely placed the Pazuzu’s Warhammer horizontally in front of himself and focused all his attention on the direction where Tiger Cub rapidly disappeared…

Slayer’s Heart did not have the confidence to defeat Tiger Cub. He did not even think that he could hold up more than ten seconds in this fight. However he would never shy away from battle!

As he was preparing to deal with the upcoming devastating battle, a thin water curtain layer abruptly appeared before his eyes… It then quickly spread out under his and Tiger Cub’s startling gazes to instantly create a round-shaped water curtain at about three meters in front of him.

Slayer’s Heart first froze, then relaxed completely and laughed. The confidence and arrogance that he displayed when facing Saga and Mu had once again returned to him!

*Roar!*

Berserk!!!
