Chapter 687: Online-Game-Scale Mystical Realm?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In World of Warcraft, the players could obtain experience points and also honor points which could elevate their prestige ranks. Prestige ranks were required to have the privilege to buy certain items.
It was why there would be two groups of players who preferred to play PVP or PVE respectively.
On the side of the Alliance, the King of Rangers wasn’t the only one fighting. People like Dwarf Elder Sauk and Mage Adolf’s disciple Dicas were also in the battleground.
As a mage, she had more convenience in certain things compared to Mr. Dirk, who was a warrior.
For example, she had sent back the visuals of the battleground to the Royal Magic Union and some mages who were good friends of hers.
With several streamers and players who activated the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection in the battle, many people were watching what was happening on the battleground.
“What are they doing?” Some mages had just begun watching the battle.
In the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection before them, the battleground was full of flying magic spells and arrows while the players with melee characters battled fiercely.
Since several players on the Alliance’s side had resurrected several times, the battlefront was stretched very long and wasn’t as concentrated as before.
Dicas’s human priest character was chanting a spell when a black shadow lunged at her.
She waved her hands and chanted a simple incantation.
Power Word: Shield!
Faint lights instantly rose around her.
“What’s this spell?!”
“A new spell?”
“When did the Magic Union develop this new shield spell?”
“It looks to be a small spell but seems quite useful…”
Many mages watching Dicas battle on the battleground were surprised.
Power Word: Shield was different from the Magic Shield Spell in the Legend of Mir 2. The latter could weaken the opponent’s attack to an acceptable range, and the user of this spell would still be hurt by the attack.
On the other hand, Power Word: Shield could completely absorb most of the regular damage.
However, the Magic Shield Spell could allow the user to take the attack from opponents one or two levels higher, but Power Word: Shield couldn’t.
Power Word: Shield had its own advantages. For example, before the shield was broken, it could protect its caster from most of the regular attack and wouldn’t be interrupted even if the caster chanted spells right before the enemy. The Magic Shield Spell couldn’t do that.
At this moment, Dicas didn’t run. Instead, she chanted spells under the protection of this shield.
“The warrior is a bit late to charge up now, right?”
“The priest is protected by the shield. At this level, the warrior is already halfway defeated.”
The first spell that Dicas chanted was Mind Blast which took only a short time to chant. Dicas was confident in her spellcasting skills.
However, in the next moment, she found that this warrior moved around her in swift steps like a twitching phantom.
She tried for a long time but couldn’t lock her spell onto the target.
Oh! Can you stop moving?!
In the end, since she already chanted, she shot the spell forward.
Puchi!
It missed.
“…”
She felt dizzy already!
The shield was finally broken.
Nalan Mingxue’s undead warrior character slashed out her sword.
Looking at Dicas who was now lying on the ground, the mages of the Royal Magic Union asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m fighting on the battleground!” With tears on her face, Dicas was astonished that her opponent had dodged her spell this way.
Resentfully, she returned to the graveyard and waited for resurrection.
…
Meanwhile, Su Tianji who had been guarding the flag couldn’t remain sitting anymore.
“Don’t mock me, okay?!” Looking at the haters’ comments on the screen, she stood up and said, “It is them who don’t know how to win the battle, and no one is coming to get the flag. How can you say that I’m AFKing?”
After all, she was guarding the flag! It wasn’t the same as going AFK!
“Okay! Okay!” Realizing that they were all new players, and probably no one had thought of taking the flag, she finally came out!
“Watch how I lead the Alliance to victory!”
…
“We’ll lose if we continue like this…” Dwarf Elder Sauk was not dumb, and he knew that they were at the disadvantage and would be eliminated one by one if they didn’t work together.
“The resurrected players, come here! The people in the front, come back! Let’s gather together! Don’t be alone!”
Elder Sauk played a dwarf hunter character who was using a gun as shown in the trailer.
Crack!
His firearm shot out a long stream of firelight.
Before them, Liang Shi controlled his orc warrior character to charge at the dwarf. Then, he shifted to the side and dodged the bullet.
Charge!
Liang Shi was almost before the dwarf of the Alliance when he heard a sharp sound. Then, his body turned cold, and his movements slowed down.
He turned his head and saw Su Tianji still raising her magic wand after casting the spell.
Meanwhile, Dwarf Sauk’s bear lunged at him and smashed down with his paw!
Then…
Swoosh!
A night elf hunter shot out an arrow from the cliff.
Concussive Shot!
“We must come gather.” The King of Rangers said, “Otherwise, we will lose the battle.”
Then, chilly ice spread out on the ground toward Liang Shi in waves.
Su Tianji’s Frost Nova!
Immediately, Liang Shi saw another icicle shooting toward him.
“F*ck…!”
Honorable Kill!
“Together! Come and charge together!” Su Tianji raised her arm and yelled, launching the counterattack.
“Kill the orc who is charging toward us!”
“Clear them together! Clear them all!”
The players in the Horde couldn’t understand the words of the players in the Alliance.
With his Spiritual Spell Visual Projection still on, Mr. Dirk froze when he saw arrows, bullets, and spells swarming toward him in waves. Without a chance to dodge, he was instantly killed!
The players had filed into the battleground separately, so they fought for themselves. Soon, almost half of the Horde players, including the mages, assassins, and shamans, were all killed and sent to the graveyard.
“My goodness…”
“They are so strong!”
“The embarrassing Dog-Headed Man was killed!”
Mr. Dirk’s audience was still puzzled and didn’t have the time to react. They wondered why this side seemed to be dominating a moment ago, but the opponents suddenly got more powerful.
“Assassin, go and take the flag. Others follow!” At this moment, many Horde players were still in the graveyard, and the remaining ones were instantly scattered and watched as the Alliance players took their flag.
“Oh, the battle should be fought like this?!” Resurrected, Dicas followed her teammates into the enemy’s camp without meeting any resistance.
The Alliance got one point.
– In Su Tianji’s livestream room –
[Awesome!]
[This battle is excellent!]
[Very good! Even the shop owner said it was good!]
“I told you not to mock me!” Su Tianji looked smug. “Now, who dares to call me an entertainment streamer?”
…
– Meanwhile –
“This battleground feels interesting…”
“The opponents are very strong…”
The audience members in the Royal Magic Union were eager to try the game after watching Dicas playing in this so-called ‘battleground’. “Is this also a mystical realm? Could it be a new mystical realm?”
“It’s the Blizzard Workshop’s new mystical realm called World of Warcraft.” Dicas looked at them, seeming to be judging their ignorance. “You guys don’t know about it?”
“Blizzard Workshop…?” The mages looked puzzled. “Many people are talking about this previously unknown workshop…?”
“What’s this mystical realm about? You just battle on the battlegrounds in it?”
“This is only a part of it,” Dicas explained proudly, “Battlegrounds are only a small part of the mystical realm. The races you saw come from different main cities in World of Warcraft, and some of the people in here come from the East Continent. World of Warcraft is a mystical realm that is called an online game; people from different continents can all gather in this mystical realm.”
“Wow…” They had thought little of the rumors around it. But after watching it and hearing the introduction, they exclaimed, “An ‘online game’ mystical realm…? This online game is so good?”
“Where are you now?! Where can we enter this online-game-scale mystical realm?”
