--- Terror of heavenly spells

A few minutes before Chris started his massacre...

In a spacious, luxury room, two girls were currently sitting side by side on a comfy sofa while looking up at the huge hologram.

One was a silver-haired young woman. She is Hannah Soliel, the leader of Radiant Wings and the princess and heir to the throne of the Pegasus Empire of the southwestern continent.

The other is a blonde-haired young woman. She is Rana Le Sable, the guild leader of the Dark Divas and the youngest princess of the Sphinx Empire of the southern continent.

Behind them are the elite members of their guilds. After Hannah woke up, she was contacted by her friends about the achievement of their sister guild.

She contacted Rana and congratulated her. After a few talks, they decided to do a double celebration of their achievements.

They were currently watching the live broadcast of Chris, who is surrounded by multiple elite players from various guilds all over Gaia. Most are just so-so guilds, but there are some well-known ones.

Just before this ambush, these well-known guilds contacted them and offered some kind of cooperation against Chris, but they coldly rejected it because they were disgusted by the idea of killing someone for loot.

"Heh! That disgusting man finally showed his true colors."

"So shameless..."

"Never go hungry, his ass! Sir Despair's equipment and items alone can even buy an empire or two if you convert that to real money.

"Empire only? Even an entire major continent alone is not enough to trade for that godly item. It's priceless!

"Heck, with the spirit and platinum coins he gained from the world achievement, Mr.Despair doesn't need to sell any items at all."

"Ermmm... right."

"He's probably aware of being broadcasted live, but with the treasure in front of him, he forgot to reign in his greed, thus showing his true colors..."

""Lord Des...""

Two certain lolis, a redhead and a pinkhead, were currently in the middle of the room, gritting their teeth with worry in their eyes, surrounded by all the girls as they might do something stupid. Even though they have confidence in their idol, such numbers of players are quite terrifying.

"Ahaha! insect, he says!"

"Um! Close, but not close enough. That gigolo is a worm, a leech."

***Giggles!***

"It's about to go down..."

Everyone focused with bated breath. They suddenly got curious when Chris disappeared and got anxious again when those shameless bastards started attacking randomly.

When Chris appeared once more while punching the ground, it happened.

A deafening silence ensued within a few seconds, followed by a few seconds of deep rumbling and then a loud booming sound. It was followed by multiple deaths, instantly turning them into motes of light; it was truly a spectacle!

Within 3 kilometers, only a few tens of thousands of players were left standing, mostly well-geared guild leaders and tanks, as well as the rarer portable tents and houses that housed more players. They were stunned, literally and figuratively. The viewers were shocked speechless at what they saw.

This was not what they expected to see. It wasn't even a fight at all. A one-sided massacre...

Inside the room, where the girls were, it was completely silent as well. Their eyes bulged, and their mouths slightly opened. Even they couldn't believe it. The silence was broken by the two lolis in the middle.

""YEAH!!!""

"Yeehaa!" "Yay, yay, yay!"

""So Coooool!""

"Lord Des showed these imbeciles who's boss. Yiyah!" "Heeheehee~"

These two die-hard fans were jumping around in happiness with stars in their eyes. The rest of the girls returned to reality and started murmuring.

"U-unbelievable..."

"W-was that the heavenly spell?"

"So terrifying! It's almost a wipeout!

"Hannah, did you see that damage?"

"Yes, I believe it was 900k..."

"Indeed. Everyone seems to suffer the same damage."

***Gulp!***

Everyone gulped loudly upon hearing what their leaders said. Then, the two leaders continued their analysis of the battle. If it's even a battle.

"Huh? But that's..." Said Hannah.

Rana continued, "...impossible, yes. Unless..."

"...it ignores magic defense..." Continued Hannah and a clear shock could be seen in her eyes. And said "What a terrifying spell..."

"Yes, I'm really tempted to contact this man later and ask if he can share the combination with me."

"..."

"Look! There seems to be an aftershock effect!

"No way..."

*Giggles!*

"I'm liking the spell even more..."

"..."

Their conversation continued while watching the live broadcast.

*******

On the battlefield, where Chris is, he was grinning. Paired with his handsome appearance, the sight of it can make any woman lose her mind. Unfortunately, it was hidden behind a mask.

'Seems that I need to improve my stats huh? After all, there are some stragglers...'

The damage he did was already terrifying, but this man was still a bit dissatisfied. He will definitely get cursed if someone were to hear this.

*Boom!* -180,000, -180,000, -180,000, -180,000, -180,000 """Ahhh!!!"""

[You killed...]

[You destroyed...]

[You killed...]

The aftereffects of his heavenly spell continue, killing more players in the process. Some portable shelters were getting destroyed as well. The players who were inside died, and some managed to survive, but they're unable to move while taking damage every 5 seconds.

There are also more players and shelters more than 3 kilometers away. Players from the shelters are spawning outside it, indicating that they are getting out.

They don't want to enter the spell radius, afraid to take damage. They probably won't even make it to the center even if they try to. So they are currently stuck outside, awaiting orders, or at least pretending to, as they can see what's going on in the "battlefield".

Chris was slowly moving towards the survivor. Specifically, the man he just called an "insect." Ardent was slowly running away while gulping down potions and occasionally getting stunned. Terror could be seen in his eyes.

The super-elites he brought with him were completely wiped out. There are more outside, but they're just on standby, watching the live broadcast of him running away in fear. Truly a pathetic scene.

With his speed, Chris managed to reach his target in a few seconds. Ardent, even with fear, clenched his sword's handle tightly. He's going to fight for his life. Defend and wait for reinforcement. He doesn't want to lose his money.

This area is actually a PVP legal area. Attackers will never get any notoriety for killing a non-red player here. The players who died here also won't drop their equipment. The only thing that has the chance of dropping here after death are the currencies. Of course, losing some levels is also part of the consequence.

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Shing!* *Pak!* -261,000 "Ugh!" *Gulp!* +500,000

Chris was currently wielding his melee weapon in a retracted form, a scimitar. Even the casual swing deals huge damage when it crits, and Ardent was really confused that he was taking "so much damage".

'I'm level 120 and his, only 25 why? What about the level suppression?' Ardent thought in his mind. He was already panicking a lot.

The game has a level suppression mechanic. A level 10 player can deal only 90% damage and take 10% more damage from a player 10 levels higher. deals 80% and takes 20% to 20 levels higher, and so on for up to 100%. But with Chris's talent, he will always deal full damage, no matter the gap in level.

'Really weak. I didn't even do any footwork to attack, but this guy can't even defend.'

'I guess he's one of those weaklings who relies on numbers.'

'I can't believe someone incompetent like this has billions of followers...'

Ardent Blaze couldn't even do a thing but defend, getting hit and downing precious potions. Chris was just swinging his scimitar nonchalantly, clearly enjoying his opponent's misery, which is the very reason why he's trying to do as little damage as possible.

"Bastard! If I die here, I'll make sure to pay you back a hundredfold!"

"Hoh? You see, what I hate the most is being threatened by some meager insect. Or is this your way of begging for your life? I wonder how many coins you will drop..."

Ardent has already run out of precious potions and is only using the subpar ones. His face suddenly pales when he hears him speak about coins dropping.

He was saving so much because the bimonthly NPC auction will happen tomorrow. Now, it's going to be snatched by someone.

If only he had managed to control his greed, he wouldn't be here. He's already losing so much face by getting beaten like a small kid.

"H-h-how about this, Vice Leader? I'll make you the vice leader of my guild. I won't ask for your equipment or anything. Just let this blunder slide and let's forget about any of this happening. How's that?'

'Bastard, once I escape this, I'll bring the whole power of my guild to completely destroy you.'

Ardent was shamelessly offering Chris a good position in his guild; he was sure that Chris would take his bait. Or so he thought. He had a full smile on his face, but deep inside, he was already hatching a plan with a sneer, not knowing that the person in front of him had the same sneer.

He suspects that this spell was the heavenly rank spell that Chris combined before, meaning that this spell should have a very long cooldown. But he had no idea that it only had 2 hours of cooldown, all thanks to Chris's high DEX.

"Hehe. As if I'll join your shitty guild!"

"Yo-"

[Entangling Web]!

Just before he spoke, Chris pinned him to the ground using the web spell.

*Bam!*

"Hmmp...hmmp...hmmp!"

After pinning him to the ground, Chris put his foot on top of Ardent's head and then whispered something only the two of them could hear.

"Listen here, idiot, you don't get to decide. The moment you messed with me is the day you will die..."

"Hmmmp...hmmmp...hmmmp!"

Then Chris looked at the sky. Specifically, to the flying recorder that broadcasts this event live. His golden eyes were deeply looking at it. He then spoke in a deep solemn voice.

"This is what happens when you cross me..."

*Shing!* *Pak!* -261,000

He cut Ardent in half.

[You killed player Ardent Blaze!]

[You obtained 72,200 Platinum Coins, 2,093,668,497 Gold Coins.]

'Sweet!'

Then he continued afterwards with, "Always remember that." in a deeper voice.

'Hmmm. Since there are people a few more kilometers away, let's take all their gold as well.'

He looked at the flying recorder again and said. "Ah... one more thing..."

*Flicks!* [Ruins]! *Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Bzzzt!* *Bang!* -1,125,000 "Arggg!"

[You killed...]

[You killed...]

[You killed...]

He cast his ruin spell, which has more than three times the range of catastrophe. Multiple bolts of lightning hit below, killing even more players who were already running away from the terrifying place.

The scene was so horrific that it sent shivers through the people watching the live broadcast. The leaders of the prominent guild who participated by sending their elites, led by a seated officer, were already sweating buckets. They messed up bigtime, and a big threat might find trouble for them in the future.

Just as they were thinking of a way to avoid this calamity, they heard his voice again.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you! I hope you send more in the future."

[Teleport]! [Camouflage]!

He then vanished completely after saying those words. Those leaders of well-known guilds fell on their butts. This guy just treated this like some kind of mass looting! is what they were thinking.
