Chapter 489: Hidden Unit
" Well, Look at this. The other teams are climbing too fast."
" Hehe, Lucy, Are we going to laze around?"
" No way, Lady Liwen going to kill us if we do that."
" Ah, Look, The Heaven's Calamity group is rapidly accumulating points."
" Ugh, We really can't fight them? They look pretty good for newbies." A little girl chided. " If we get them, we will become number one instantly."
" Lucy, I told you." Another woman shook her head. "' Remember what Boss said? Do not engage with Heaven's Calamity Team."
" If they get first place, that means they were worthy and better than Olympus. If not, then it's their fault."
" Zero has not taken participation. And we need to take care of Fallen Wings guild too."
" Whoa, Look! An elite Dark Steel Scorpion Boss!"
The girl named Lucy jumped forward as she held a giant hammer. " Yuck, I hate bugs."
" There are twenty other Iron Scorpions around the elite boss." Maria spoke as she adjusted her glasses.
" I will crush those bugs, Don't worry."
Lucy moved forward as she slammed her giant hammer on the ground. The ground trembled as fissures spread across like spiderwebs.
" AHAHAHA! DIE YOU BUGS!"
Green blood splattered as Lucy crushed the bugs under her gigantic hammer. The ground hit by her hammer caved inward as deep craters formed.
Suddenly, a scorpion jumped as it pointed its stinger at Lucy. The stinger bulbed a bit as it fired a jet of green fluid.
" Not so fast, Little Bug!"
Lucy didn't care as she was busy finishing other bugs. As the jet of green fluid was about to hit her, a barrier appeared around her, making the fluid deflect.
" Haha, Thank you, Maria." Lucy grinned as she swung her hammer.
Maria walked forward as she looked at the scorpions. Raising her hands, she chanted something.
Suddenly, barriers of wind formed around all the team members, making them defend against the attack of the scorpions.
" Earth Restraint!"
Another woman jumped forward as she stomped her feet on the ground. The ground trembled as it zapped the legs of the scorpion. The scorpion struggled as their legs got trapped by the ground.
" Lightning Sword Art! Pierce!
The blonde woman raised her rapier as it flashed with faint arcs of lightning. The rapier turned into bolts of blue light as it pierced the heads of the scorpions, killing them instantly.
The elite scorpion boss hissed as it broke free from the suppression of the earth. Crawling with it's metallic legs, it attacked at Lucy.
Lucy swung her giant hammer towards it. But the scorpion elite used its claws to block it.
*CLANG! CLANG!*
" Damn! It's claws are so heavy and powerful!" Lucy exclaimed as she backed away.
The scorpion elite hissed as it fired shrapnel at Lucy from its claws.
" What a bad scorpion! You think you can take me down with this?" Lucy snorted as she swung her giant hammer.
*BAM! BAAM!*
Using the overwhelming force, Lucy swatted away the shrapnel. However, Her expression frowned when she saw her hammer's flat surface slowly cracked.
" Bastard! You hide acid in your shrapnel?" Lucy couldn't help but get angry. exclusive-content-NovelFire
" Damn it! I will kill you first!"
Squatting a bit, Lucy leaped towards the scorpion elite. With her supernatural strength, she swung her hammer, making the wind swirl from the sheer force.
The scorpion's entire body gleamed with a faint silver light as it raised its stinger, swatting out.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
Lucy and the scorpion have several exchanges. Although the scorpion was forced back, it didn't receive much damage.
" I am holding it back. Lucy! Alicia!"
" Don't worry, I am on my way!"
Maria suddenly started to float as she clasped her palm. The wind swirled around her as her body lifted from the ground.
Suddenly, dust rose as a powerful whirlwind swept around the scorpion elite, imprisoning it inside the whirlwind.
" Haahhh!"
Alicia rushed forward with her rapier as it turned into a blur. She aimed at the joints of the scorpion elite, piercing them with his rapier.
Aciding blood splashed as the limbs of the scorpion elite got severed. At the same time, Lucy jumped as the wind carried her to a great height.
Swinging her broken hammer, Lucy shouted as she fell on the head of the scorpion elite.
" Mountain Crush!"
*BOOOOM!"
The air rumbled as Lucy's hammer fell. The scorpion elite tried to use its stinger to stop Lucy. However, the stinger was blocked by Alicia's rapier.
Blood splashed as Lucy's hammer crushed the head of the scorpion, smashing it into pieces. The scorpion elite fell down, crashing on the ground.
" The scorpion elite got some good material. Collect it before moving forward." Maria ordered as she pulled a tablet.
" Damn, We are in fourth position. Heaven's Calamity at third, Olympus at first, and Sky Vanguard at the second."
Lucy pouted when she heard that. " Damn it, What are we doing? Let's go and hunt more monsters!"
" Wait, Something is wrong." Maria frowned as she saw the scoreboard was refreshed.
" What? Sky Vanguard lost its position! It's replaced by an unknown entity."
Lucy and Alicia's expressions turned serious when they heard that. " It looks like someone ambushed the Sky Vanguard and stole their score point."
" Sky Vanguard…They aren't that weak. Not to mention, the perpetrator hid their name." Maria frowned.
" Anyway, It's better to be careful. Fighting boss monsters is easier than guarding against enemies in the dark."
" Let's go, We need to kill the main boss of the Desert Palace Ruin."

" Interesting. A sword master, an A rank superhuman strength, and…That third one…"
" Wind Magic. Maria has a wind affinity mutant body and learned to use it with wind magic." Jun Ronghua looked at Jun Tianyun as she explained.
" Whoa? Magic? Is it real?" Jun Tianyun couldn't help but be astonished.
" Well, It's different from the taoist arts, which has been lost…At least in the mortal realm." Jun Ronghua chuckled. " As for Western magic, it's a bit different from what you think."
" To perform magic, you need a catalyst. Either, you need to have the bloodline of a mage or a body with an elemental affinity. If you have neither of them, you will need a catalyst which is equally difficult to find."
" After that, you need to understand the construct of magic and spells. Only after years of practice, you can finally use magic."
" Maria has natural A rank ability, Whirlwind. So, after learning his magic, he can control the wind to a much greater degree."
" How amusing…" Jun Tianyun mumbled inwardly. However, he understood the difference of the magic he was practicing and the magic of this world.
' Hmm, I can easily manipulate all elements thanks to my Divine Art of Chaotic Flower. But here, magic feels more complex and inefficient. Maria still took ten seconds to cast a spell to create a shield.'
' On the contrary, Ming Yue's wind power is much more powerful and efficient. Perhaps because she was a mutant from Planet Gaia?'
" As for Alicia…" Jun Ronghua chuckled, " She is from a family of nobles. You can call her a mana swordsman."
" But I have to agree that Eastern martial arts and sword techniques are much better than Western ones though."
" Not bad, No wonder Dark Phoenix Guild is so revered." Jun Tianyun pursed his lips.
" How about we bet then?" Jun Ronghua looked at Jun Tianyun.
" If Dark Phoneix gets a better result than Heaven's Calamity, you are going to listen to your big sister."
" And if Heaven's Calamity wins, then I will listen to you."
Jun Tianyun couldn't help but crack a grin. " Why do I feel you going to win regardless?"
" Is that so? Who knows?"
Jun Ronghua grinned as her gaze returned to the screen. " Don't worry, Everything will be clear in an hour."
[ Congratulations! Heaven's Calamity has slain the main boss, Desert Golem!]
