MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 241 Do You Have a Hormonal Imbalance for Real?

Translator: ASB /EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Qin Ruo hid outside Killer Bee Valley, he felt that his surrounding atmosphere had intensified exponentially!

On regular days, players were not usually seen around the groves near the valley. But in a mere fifteen minutes, after Qin Ruo escaped out of Killer Bee Valley, Qin Ruo sensed more than ten different Bandits in Stealth Mode stepping pass his “water web” within a thirty-meter radius range.

The fact that the Bandits did not make a single sound moving through the groves made it more horrifying. Also, no one revealed themselves openly even when their MP was exhausted. These Bandits picked the darkest and most inconspicuous spot to lay low and quickly recover their MP.

Qin Ruo was forced to remain highly focused and tense due to the excellence of these hounding bandits. He dared not let his guard down in the slightest!

Besides, Qin Ruo was unable to activate Elemental Perception: Water due to the surrounding environment. He was unsure if there were more pairs of cold-blooded eyes lurking in the shadow, looking for him beyond his thirty-meter radius radar. Therefore, he had been extra careful since his escape, and he refused to remove his Aquamorph. He also shied from casting Mana Drain on those Tier 2 or Tier 3 creatures in the grove to avoid being noticed. As a result, he could only wastefully gulp one MP Potion after another to sustain his ongoing spells.

After a few minutes and several bottles of MP Potion (M), Qin Ruo began to regret his decision…

He regretted not retreating further from the start. No matter how capable the Ron Couple was, it was impossible for them to surveil the entire Bailey Town and Goblin Mountains.

Nevertheless, Qin Ruo was still somewhat worried! Although Violet Orchid had promised him that she could definitely rescue Xiaoxiao from the Ron Couple’s hands, he still wished to stay close to Killer Bee Valley until he could confirm Xiaoxiao’s safety…

In case the rescue plan failed, he would not mind throwing himself back into the trap and giving the Pharaoh Clan a lesson they would remember for a lifetime. But at the moment, he chose to put his faith in Sister Violet and wished desperately that Sister Violet would deliver him the good news as soon as possible.

***

Inside Killer Bee Valley, the Pharaoh Clan’s spirit was greatly dampened by Qin Ruo’s heroic act. They no longer assembled in a large group, but were instead segregated into several small groups of more than ten players before they guarded the valley’s entrance. They gazed nervously beyond the valley, glancing back and forth.

Twenty minutes had passed since the last fight, and Qin Ruo’s name was still being brought up in their discussions…

Qin Ruo!

This was such an unfamiliar name, to begin with. They roughly remembered that the day before, a Tier 4 Aquamancer named “Ruo” was listed as the most wanted target of their Clan due to his close relationship with the Chemist, Black Market Trader who had betrayed them. They were ordered to report his whereabouts immediately once he was spotted.

But today, Qin Ruo’s name was going to buried deep in everyone’s memory…

His otherworldly mobility had deceived the eyes of hundreds. His single Frostburst killed more than forty of them, which allowed him to forcefully break through Killer Bee Valley! It was as if he had transformed into a blood-red devil and made more than a hundred of the Pharaoh Clan members too frightened to chase after him.

The flashback of the incident felt like what one would see in an action movie, which only made it all the more unrealistic…

“Hey, do you guys think he’ll come back to this valley?” a Pharaoh Clan’s Bowmaster suddenly asked a comrade by his side.

“Nonsense, only an idiot would return…”

“That’s right!”

“If it were me, I would have fled long and far from this place with Stealth on after being red-tagged.” Once someone initiated the topic, others began to join in and express their opinion.

“I think this isn’t over yet. Or else, why would the Field Commander command us to stand guard here? This must be to prevent Qin Ruo from creeping back in.”

“I agree. That brat’s quite hot-blooded. He didn’t hesitate to instant-kill the Bowmaster from Holy Clan after the Bowmaster took down his girlfriend! Tsk, another person would not have even dared to move a finger, seeing that the opponent was someone from a powerful League. Once you offend those men, the future will only get extremely tough.” One of them felt sorry for Qin Ruo, and many of them seconded his opinion.

Half of the crowd thought that judging from Qin Ruo’s temper, he would not leave his girlfriend’s body behind. The other half thought the other way round, and they started to quarrel intensively.

Suddenly!

“Stop it! Look, someone’s here!”

A voice interrupted their debate. The dozens of members from Pharoah Clan standing guard at the valley’s entrance all turned their sights in the direction pointed by the man who issued the warning…

At the far side, more than thirty figures were marching toward them carrying a magnificent aura.

“Those must be Qin Ruo’s reinforcements!”

“Quick, inform the Field Commander!”

“The bunch of you there, call all the others inside the valley to gather here!”

The leading Titanwraith Berserker was apparently the temporary commander. He quickly gave out orders to his comrades and subsequently lifted his hammer while he stood together with the others. They rattled their swords and stared at the incoming party with an unfriendly look, hoping to terrify their opponents and force them to turn back by acting all tough like robbers.

However, as soon as they could see the approaching party when they were about a hundred meters away, the expression of those from the Pharaoh Clan turned sluggish. The toughness they showed not long ago had now completely vanished.

‘Good god!’

‘Who the hell is this Qin Ruo?’

‘Why do the reinforcements he called in seem so powerful? None of them in the thirty-member troop’s carrying Violet equipment. The majority of them are equipped with a whole set of Gold equipment. A few among them even appear to be in dimmed gold—Dark Gold equipment set! ‘

‘Damn it!’

Before the incoming party reached them, those who stood in the middle backed off subconsciously—because the approaching party was rapidly drawing near like a sharp-edged sword. The “radiance” of the party’s sword irritated their eyes and forced them to retreat involuntarily.

Then, an observant Bowmaster suddenly breathed in a cold breath and stared hopelessly at the Bauhinia Sigil pinned on everyone’s chest in the opposing party. Terrified, he uttered, “The… Bauhinia… League!”

Hearing this, the faces of Pharaoh Clan’s members who had been apprehensively blockading the entrance for about twenty minutes turned pale instantaneously. As the approaching party arrived about thirty meters away from them, the so-called champion players from Pharaoh Clan, who bragged boldly earlier, simultaneously retreated to both sides of the entrance passage and stood still. The scene was rather comical, as though the players from Pharaoh Clan had assembled in lines to welcome the arrival of Violet Orchid and company.

Pharaoh Clan’s members were even more embarrassed when the conversation between two Bauhinia party members, who intended to be heard, reached their ears.

“Sister Violet’s so merciful. She should just let us destroy them all.”

“Are you too bored? Where’s the fun in killing a bunch of rookies? Do you have a hormonal imbalance? You better get a thorough checkup in the hospital.”

“F*ck, you’re the one with hormonal imbalance… It’s just that I’m really bored, or else why would I have come? Damn it, I hope that those from Holy Clan are less cowardly. It’ll be no fun if they behave like these rookies here…”

“True. It’s a shame if we don’t get to fight after we’ve traveled such a long distance.”

“But then… I have a bad feeling about this. With Homme here, I think the opponent wouldn’t dare to attack. Why don’t we just start hacking people as soon as we enter?”

“Hmm, you’re right. Once they notice Homme, they won’t fight at all.”

“…”

“Hey bro, you have a big figure. Come and cover Homme.”

Pharaoh Clan’s members who were lining up on both flanks began to sweat horrendously after they listened to their obvious intent toward Holy Clan! None of them wished to know who Homme was.

After they helplessly watched all the Bauhinia League members enter the valley, Pharaoh Clan’s members were lost. ‘So, now what? Stay and continue to guard, or flee the scene?’

***

Besides the Ron Couple and the other two Field Commanders from Pharaoh Clan, there were also Grieving Arrow as well as more than twenty helpers recruited from the Holy Clan in the valley. All of them were champion players of Level 45 and above.

They immediately realized that the Bauhinia League’s true intention had to be Qin Ruo’s girlfriend, Xiaoxiao after they learned about the League’s arrival. The Ron Couple’s expression was especially awful—if they allowed the opponent to resurrect Xiaoxiao and bring her away under their watch, what else could they use to lure Qin Ruo? All their efforts and arrangements on that day would be in vain.

However, at the same time, since the Bauhinia League players turned up in Bailey Town, the Ron Couple knew that their current enemies would be very difficult to deal with! Even if everyone in the valley joined forces, they would still fall short against them.

They even had Steel Dude with them. That man alone could outmatch the Ron Couple by himself.

“What do we do now?”

The morale in the valley was extremely low. It would still be manageable if the opponent was from some other Clan. But what they were facing now was one of the three greatest Clans in the Angel Faction—the Bauhinia Clan…

It was an unexpected feat for Qin Ruo to recruit such a strong reinforcement party to help his ordinary girlfriend.

The whole thing left the Ron Couple without any chance to buy time and look for an alternative.

As the party gradually came within sight, Ron made a decision. He abruptly turned around to the two Field Commanders of Pharaoh Clan. “I’ll remain silent later. You two go ahead and do the talking…”

“What?”

The facial expressions of the two Pharaoh Clan Field Commanders were so dreadful, they looked like they had just lost their parents.

“Cut the bullsh*t! Qin Ruo killed more than forty comrades from your side anyway. You two can use this excuse to refute them and turn them away. If they insist on resurrecting the female Aquamancer, just go for the kill! I’ll back you up!”

Ron’s face turned hideous when he spoke. His eyes sparkled with such ferocity that the two Field Commanders were too frightened to object his order.
