Chapter 162: The mysterious teenie-weenie Angel [Vol 5 Chapter 13]

Translator: blackberrry Editor: blackberrry

I watched as the dazzling Seraphim Sword swung down on me, unable to prepare any sort of defense. All my Companions, Servants and summoned creatures had killed many Players, giving me sufficient EXP to reach Level 439, the majority were from the Phantom Knights and three Dragons. Level 439 was no longer considered low, so even if the girl's ATK was high or even if her Light Attack was undoubtedly extremely effective against my Dark traits, it was impossible for her to kill me in one strike!

Right at the moment when the sword reached me, the ground started to swell with multiple earth bubbles, and over a dozen tendrils extended out fervently and formed a meter thick vine wall around me. When the vine wall was formed, I felt the ground beneath me crumble and I fell through the ground. Rosa had actually formed a tunnel below us, and I fell straight into Rosa's protection, and then sent through the tunnel far away. Miss Angel's Seraphim Sword struck the vine wall, in which the divine Light power that was extremely effective against Darkness instantly sliced through the vine wall like hot metal cutting through paper into half. The purifying power caused Rosa's black vines to emit a white smoke, but as the wall was considered a spell of Rosa, it did not harm Rosa at all.

Knowing that she had missed her target, Miss Angel furiously slashed down on the vine wall, but only to realize that I had disappeared. Before she could even start to look for me, she was instantly surrounded by the Snow Demoness. The 44 Snow Demoness trapped her in the center, to which she screamed out.

"You asshole! Get out here….."

Her last few words were not audible for me as ice barriers had appeared around her, although the ice shells summoned by the Level 400 Snow Demoness were not extremely dense, with the 44 of them continuously forming the ice walls, the ice walls were 4 to 5 meters thick. Even if they were not sturdy enough, I believed that they could not be easily shattered!

Right when we thought that we were completely safe, the ice shell suddenly released a loud impact, Miss Angel was actually smashing the walls from the inside! Although the Snow Demoness were endlessly reinforcing the walls, cracks continued to appear on the ice. Clearly, the ice wall was insufficient to hold her down!

Ling ran over to me and cast a Darkness Spell on me, removing the seals that were cast on me. Since the seals were Light spells, they could be dispelled with Dark Spells.

Right after I recovered, the Ice walls finally crumbled and countless of ice pieces scattered all over the place. Miss Angel flew out with the shattered ice and immediately collided with Epidemic upon escaping the prison.

BOOOM!

Epidemic and Miss Angel clashed in midair, causing her to fly out into the distance and rolling a few times on the ground before stabilizing herself. Dragons were after all the race with the strongest body, colliding with Epidemic was tantamount to a tractor going against a bulldozer, pitting to see which was stronger!

Miss Angel raised her head up only to see a black shadow descend. She immediately rolled to the side, and just as she left the area of the black shadow, Tank smashed his way down onto her original position. Tank turned and swiped at her, but to my surprise, Miss Angel actually dodged Tank's attack by doing a bridge*, then standing up again.

Is she a dancer or gymnast in real life? She could actually execute such a move?

Tank's large built made him incapable of being fast, thus none of his attacks worked. Lucky and the other two dragons joined in the attack, taking turns to swipe down at her. Although Miss Angel's AGI was not that high, her body control and movements were performed outstandingly well, avoiding many of the fatal attacks. I started to suspect that she was a real performer or gymnast in real life, she was actually able to execute all of the exceedingly demanding positions and movements!

Just as my Companions had surrounded her, a spear suddenly flew out from the encirclement. The Phantom Knights who were rushing towards me by the side threw their own lances out, and finally one of them accurately struck the incoming spear, releasing a loud 'clank' sound. The spear thrown from within the encirclement deviated and struck the ground next to me. The girl was truly something else, she had the capability of throwing out a spear even when faced with an onslaught of attacks! But my Companions were not one to be underestimated, due to her throwing out the spear and taking a risk for it, Crystal's claw actually struck her, the immense force causing her to flip a few times in the air.

Scott could see that Tank and the three Dragons were insufficient to deal with Miss Angel, thus he led the Phantom Knights to join in. With the 10 Phantom Knights help, the stalemate quickly tilted to our favor. When Miss Angel dodged Lucky's claw, she was immediately swept by a Phantom Knight's lance and was flung out due to her loss in stability. Scott and three other Phantom Knights suddenly extended their lances and caught her fall from below, the 4 lances forming a '井' pattern. When she stood up, another 4 lances extended out in the same pattern and caught her from above. Another two Phantom Knights used their Lances and immobilized her by extending their spears from beneath her waist to her underarms vertically and prevented her from struggling. The 12 Lances had finally locked her down.

Locked into place, Miss Angel continued to struggle. Ling suddenly casted a spell, conjuring four black rings to appear and lock Miss Angel's limbs to the lances, and forcefully prevented her from moving. The 10 Phantom Knights lifted Miss Angel up as though she was a pig for slaughter.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Miss Angel, who could only move her mouth, struggled and screamed.

"Lift her up right!" Miss Angel was lifted up but was faced down. Hearing my words, the Phantom Knights immediately turned her over. Who knew if they were being intentional or it was accidental, but they actually turned her upside down! Her legs were raised above and her head was below! I resisted the urge to laugh but did not say anything. I walked over and squatted in front of her. "Miss?"

"You….you... if you dare treat me unreasonably, I will kill your entire family!"

"What the hell! Are you on rabies? Did you get bitten by a dog before?"

"You're the rabid dog! Do you know who am I? You dare to touch me? Are you tired of living?"

"Touch you? Don't be arrogant just because you're pretty, I've seen countless of beauties myself! To me, your looks can only be considered average!" I said while slapping her cheek lightly with the back of my hand, although I did not use any strength, but the Dark Dragon Lord gauntlet had steel edges designed on it and could hurt someone simply by slapping his or her face. I stood up and ordered the Phantom Knights: "Carry her back!"

"Let go of me!" Miss Angel continued to struggle, but she was unable to struggle free from the Phantom Knights.

The enemies on the battlefield were suddenly enveloped in blue light and all of them disappeared. I heard the adorable system voice.

[The League of Qin have failed in the siege of the City. With your aid in the successful City Defense, you have obtained the reward EXP XXX....XXX.]

When the System prompt was over, I realized that I had gained 10 additional levels, holy hell, the amount of EXP gained from the reward was so high? Who cares, I had to return back to Red Cloud and check on them.

With the Siege over, the City gates automatically opened. I led the Phantom Knights into the City, to see that Red Cloud and the rest were already waiting for us outside. I suddenly realized that Red Cloud did not have her helmet on and had it beneath her arms. For the entire time, I interacted with her while she had her Helmet on, thus I never knew how beautiful she was!

"Who would have thought that you're actually so pretty!"

Red Cloud did not get embarrassed because of my compliment, she had to be someone extremely versed with interpersonal skills, or that she was like Zirai, and was more manly and did not care about such matters. But most probably the latter, people who could build up such a strong organisation could never be ordinary women.

____________________________________________________________

"Ziri, you're one good looking chap yourself! No wonder you wrapped yourself up so tightly, otherwise, you'll constantly be chased around by all the ladies!"

"Haha! Who're you kidding! Oh right, why did the enemies outside suddenly retreat and admit defeat? They only lost less than 2000 men, didn't they have over tens of thousands of Players?"

Red Cloud: "I don't know either, it is indeed strange that they retreated, but since they have, we won."

An Angel Race Warrior that looked to be about 10 years old walked out from behind Red Cloud. I looked at this little beauty in surprise, there were actually such young Players? Although [Zero] did not have any age restrictions imposed, in theory, there should be no children in the game! All the game Helmets required binding identification to be purchased and all unbound identification would never be valid! China made this setting on purpose to distinguish between Child Players and Adult Players, could it be that there was a problem?

"You….?"

The moment I spoke up, I was interrupted. The little girl raised her small hands and indicated for me to not continue.

"You don't have, I know what you want to ask." When she saw my surprised look, the young lady nodded her head. "You wanted to ask how I am able to play the game despite my age?"

I nodded my head, it was a huge problem that had to be reported. The Game actually had such a huge loophole!

"Simple, I have a valid Identification." I pointed at her once more in surprise, and as I opened my mouth, I closed it back again.

"You don't have to say, I know you want to know why I have a valid identification. That is because I require it to find work, so I got the Department of Public Safety to issue me a special one."

I opened my mouth again but was interrupted again. "You want to know why I want to work? Simple, because I've already finished all the required readings for all levels, and even finished postgrad studies, thus I have nothing to do now!"

"Ok ok, Xiao Mei, don't go on, you're going to make big brother confused!" Red Cloud carried the little girl then spoke to me: "Don't take offense, this is my cousin sister, Xiao Mei."

"Xiao Mei?"

The young lady that was being carried suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Mei can only be used by sister, you can't call me that. You can either call me Su Mei, or Young miss Su Mei."

"Xiao Mei, don't be rude!" Red Cloud pinched the little girl's lips. "She is the genius child of my family, at the age of 9, she completed all her studies, and no one can do anything to her! She has a photographic memory and can recite the entire City telephone numbers after going through the entire book once!"

"Woah! A genius!" Such luck that I never had, even the English Language had left me foaming at the mouth!

"Do NOT call me a genius!" Xiao Mei struggled free from her sister's suppression. "I hate it the most when others call me a genius, I told you to call me Su Mei!" The little girl's temper was truly befitting her age, but after all, she was still a young girl, and no matter how mad she was, it was extremely pure-hearted and adorable.

The young lady suddenly said: "I know why they retreated, the reason is simple. I communicated with my spy inside the League of Qin, Goddess Alliance just announced their war on them, so they are rushing back to defend their city."

I did not know how many times I had looked at the little girl in shock, but Red Cloud explained: "Xiao Mei is our guild's strategist!"

"HER? Strategist?" They were pulling my leg!

Su Mei pointed to the Phantom Knights behind me. "What's going on there? Your spoils of war? Do you have such fetishes?

Seriously, the little girl was overly mature! How could she know everything!

"Isn't that the Hunter?" Red Cloud actually recognized Miss Angel.

"You recognize her?" I quickly asked.

"You don't recognize her?" Little Su Mei jumped down from Red Cloud. "She is the Religious Law Court's number one Assassin, nicknamed the Hunter, Player name God Messiah. If I didn't remember wrongly, she's already Level 563, her class seems to be the Light Adjudicator. Her class belongs to the Warrior class, but also utilizes the bow and spells, but in terms of her spells, she will only know seals and some HP restoration and buff spells. The unique point about her class is that her name will never turn red if she kills Darkness Players."

"Level 563? No wonder she was so strong! Her level is already so high, and she still wields the Light that basically overpowers me!"

"She's not that powerful actually, she's just lucky!" Su Mei spoke enviously.

"What did you say? Little girl, if you don't know a thing, don't talk!" God Messiah who was being suppressed started to scream and struggle. "All of you have better remember this, those who offend me will never end up well!"

"Hello?" I squatted beside her. "You're the captive now! Can you stop being in denial and acknowledge your position?"

"Peh!" She actually spat at me! But no matter, my silver liquid had automatically blocked against her attack, lucky me!

"What's her identity? Why is she like a rabid dog?" I turned and asked Su Mei.

"She is the superior of Goddess Alliance and Righteous League!"

"What?" I jumped in shock. "But the boss of Righteous League is Shadow Gale! I know him! And I know Red Moon of the Goddess Alliance as well!"

"You only know of things in the game and not the things outside of the game." Su Mei replied me as though she was an old man. "Red Moon and Shadow Gale are brother and sisters."

"I know that!"

"But you don't know what kind of person their father is. Their father is the boss of an extremely large corporation which in fact belongs to an upper echelon holding company, and the boss of this holding company is God Messiah's father!"

God Messiah suddenly screamed out: "Now that you know who I am, are you not letting me go?"

"It's not up to you to talk!" I raised my hand and the Phantom Knight standing beside her stuffed her mouth. She could only make sounds out but no longer speak. As she was being locked down by the Phantom Knights, it meant she was under attack, thus she could not log off either. In any case, we did not violate her body, so she could not use that to her advantage, and could only continue struggling.

"So that's the reason!" I sighed.

Right when I was about to speak, the System prompt suddenly sounded out.

[Attention all Players. The Game is about to undergo a small update. The update will run while tracking the current location of all Players, there is no restart of the server, Players can continue playing at a later time. As for Players in crowded places, there will be slight spikes and lags, please do not be alarmed. The update requires 10 minutes to be completed before the server will continue as per normal. Kindly note, Players can consult the assistance menu to receive the update log.]

After obtaining the notification, everyone stood still without moving, obviously looking at the assistance menu. I opened the assistance menu and looked at the update log. The update was mainly for modifications to equipment, in the past, dead Players would drop a random item or equipment under a percentage chance, but it will be changed to only dropping of equipped equipment and not the things in Inventory. Additionally, the rewards for battle had received a change. In the past, Players would seize the weapons of the enemies, but after their enemies die, the items dropped would not be the weapons, and the weapons would return to the original user while dropping another item, thus decreasing the realism of the Game. But with the new Update, if any PKs were to occur between Players, as long as anyone obtained the enemy's weapon or equipment, they would truly earn the underlying item while the enemy would lose that item.

After reading all of it, I sort of understood what had happened, there would most probably be more bandits in the future, they could simply snatch the enemy's equipment in battle. They were simply encouraging banditry and thieving, weren't they? I wondered who was the one in the company to have thought about such a thing!

Su Mei obviously had finished reading the update log, she looked at me with a strange look, then looked at God Messiah. I looked at God Messiah, then turned back to Su Mei, I did not know what she was thinking about. Seeing that I did not understand what she was hinting at, she pouted: "You saw the changelog, and you have no thoughts about it?"

"Thoughts?"

"HER!" Su Mei pointed to God Messiah.

"What about her?" I did not understand.

"She has all sorts of equipment on her! After looking at the update, you don't even have any thoughts about it?"

"You're saying…..?" I stared at the little girl in shock, how could her little mind actually have thought about such a thing!
