CHAPTER 122: MARTIAL PALACE TAKES THE LEAD!

While Gabriel and his team were fighting off the dozens of mountain ogres, he soon sensed the presence of enemies not too far from where they were.

However, he remained unbothered and instead focused on dealing with the monsters.

The mountain ogres were very lustful and persistent. A few of the females even went as far as winking and making awkward poses.

Simply staring at them, Gabriel felt disgust.

Their actions were no different from hideous goblins trying to seduce him.

His sword arm vibrated as he cut down ogres left and right. A few tried to parry with their clubs, but they were crushed.

Bunny and the others fought fiercely behind him, especially after being promised they’d be rewarded if they performed well.

"Should we attack now?" ChaosCleric asked. "It’s the best time to get rid of him now that he’s distracted."

"Yes, and steal their kills while we’re at it." IceQueen smirked and gestured for her guild members to slowly approach.

’They’re getting closer,’ noted Gabriel as he struck down yet another ogre. Just like every horde, there was a powerful monster at the back.

He was slowly dealing with the small fry while inching closer to the biggest threat.

"It seems the ChaosKnight Guild has finally made their move!" Noel announced from the studio, an excited gleam shining in her eyes.

"Will she be able to catch Broken Heaven off guard and finally end his run?"

Some of the viewers were skeptical that ChaosKnight would be able to eliminate Broken Heaven—especially after what happened during their last encounter.

"ChaosKnight, attack!" Right at that moment, IceQueen’s voice thundered.

It was then that the five teammates in Gabriel’s party realized they had company.

However, it was already too late.

"Dammit, these snakes!" Bunny cursed as she recognized the attackers to be members of ChaosKnight.

"Die, bitch!" a warrior from ChaosKnight lunged at her.

"Ice Lance!" she shouted coldly, a magic circle spiraling into existence before her.

Swoosh! Skunk!

The ice lance struck the player instantly, vaporizing him into particles.

She glanced to her side, realizing her teammates were struggling to fend off both the mountain ogres and ChaosKnight members.

BOOM! BOOM!

Bunny snapped, overcharged fireballs forming in her hands before she hurled them at the enemies—killing them in one hit.

"Go for her!" ChaosCleric ordered when he realized she was single-handedly killing several players.

At the same time, members of ChaosKnight were killing the ogres, contributing to the Holy Church’s overall points.

And in turn—they were being killed as well!

Some time later, Gabriel finished off all the ogres on his end and turned around, his eyes sweeping over the chaos ChaosKnight had caused.

The first people his gaze settled on were ChaosCleric and IceQueen.

As soon as they felt his gaze, both flinched.

With a sneer on his face, he charged forward at the two guild leaders.

ChaosCleric’s fight-or-flight mode kicked in, and he began to sweat bullets.

’I knew this was a bad idea!’ he shouted internally as he hastily brought up his staff and cast a spell.

IceQueen also hastily summoned ice spikes and shot them toward the approaching enemy.

Gabriel narrowed his eyes. Mid-run, he stomped the ground—with over a hundred points in Strength, the earth caved in and his body shot upward.

Both leaders’ eyes widened in shock as they subconsciously wondered how someone could jump that high.

BANG!

Gabriel landed right in front of them and slashed at the person closest to him.

It was IceQueen. However, she flipped back at the nick of time and dodged the killing slash.

ChaosCleric wasn’t so lucky. He stumbled back, tripped, and fell on his butt.

He tried to log out again.

[Ding! You can’t log out during combat!]

"Dammit, I forgot about this!"

"Wa—" He wasn’t able to finish his words as a giant foot stomped his head again... for the second time this week!

"Ice Spike!" Seeing the same thing repeat itself again, IceQueen was horrified.

Yet she tried to conceal her fear and activated the strongest skill in her arsenal.

Gabriel activated Iron Body.

The ice spikes slammed into him and bounced off harmlessly.

Gabriel didn’t charge. He calmly approached her.

Seeing that she wasn’t doing any damage at all, she barked at her guildmates.

"Stop him!"

However, no one made a move.

"Bunch of useless ingrates!" she shouted, a flash of irritation crossing her face as she cast yet another skill.

"Ice Pillar!"

A massive pillar over seven feet long shot out from a magical circle.

Gabriel brought Crimson Judgement in front of him, and just when the pillar was about to slam into him—

SLASH!

Crimson Judgement effortlessly cut through the pillar, shattering it into fragments.

"This is what I’m talking about! He’s unstoppable!" Doodle’s eyes were shining with excitement, almost as if he was having the time of his life. "I knew the ChaosKnight Guild already dug their graves the moment they chose to go against him!"

IceQueen cast a few more skills. However, all her attacks were parried or destroyed mid-air, making her completely useless.

As she attempted to cast another spell, a bold red text notification flashed before her eyes.

[Ding! You have run out of mana!]

"Shit!" Her expression turned pale.

"If I were you, I’d give up now."

She heard Gabriel’s cold voice.

However, it wasn’t from in front of her.

Rather—it was behind her.

’How... how did he get there?’

She hastily turned around, but it was too late.

Crimson Judgement pierced her chest, bursting through.

"Give up?" A twisted look appeared on IceQueen’s face. "Never. From this day on, you’re my enemy. Even if I have to drag my brother out of retirement..."

Gabriel pushed the blade deeper.

"I’ll be waiting. But till then..."

She evaporated into data perticles, drifting into the sky.

Gabriel retrieved his blade and turned his focus back to the air, where the event rankings were displayed.
