In the crowds, a group of elves stood together.

As the race with the longest life span and most ancient history, the elves seemed to know something that others didn't.

“First Elder… do you know something about it?” Looking at the knights who were roaring hoa.r.s.ely with red eyes, Sala almost cried with them.

Although most of their good friends were from Jiuhua City, a few members of their guilds seemed to be missing.

Thinking of the disaster and the missing players, the players' hearts sank.

“I heard of rumors about them when I was young…” The silver bearded and silver-haired First Elder of the Elf Clan said in a deep voice, “No one knows where they come from and what their purpose is. In every plane and every world that they went to, they destroyed all the living creatures.”

In the knowledge of people in the Nora Continent, this almost endlessly vast world was surrounded by many planes or worlds, including the smaller ones such as the Elf Royal Palace in Silver Moon Forest and the larger planes such as the Continent of Immortal Relics.

“They battled in plane after plane. Their leader is said to be an existence closest to a G.o.d. Only G.o.d's miracles can hold them off.”

“We've been searching for the traces that they left in this world with the hope that we can stop them from bringing catastrophe to this world.”

The silver-haired and silver-bearded elf elder who was extremely old sighed, “Still, the inevitable came…”

The name 'Shadow Legion' might mean nothing to ordinary mercenaries and aristocrats, but it was a horrifying name for those who had access to the core secrets of the world.

Its most recent pillage caused the demise of the Avil Empire hundreds of years ago.

That empire was once a place full of suns.h.i.+ne, but now it was engulfed in darkness and became the headquarters of the Underground Council. Of course, with the expansion of the Brotherhood, many members of the Underground Council had joined the Brotherhood.

With red eyes, Elina said to the knights in a loud voice, “Please count us in!”

Meanwhile, in the Royal Magic Union in the Morning Light Empire.

Grand Mage Adolf wasn't watching the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection with others on the square.

However, with his background, he had much more information about the current situation than all other people.

Before him was an ancient-looking magic crystal platform, and a pure and clear magic crystal ball was inlaid on it.

In the flowing magic lights, a layer of white mist appeared in the transparent crystal ball. Then, the mist revealed a scene that looked half-real and half-fantasy.

Countless black ravens soared in the pitch-black sky as if they were declaring death to everything they saw. Then, a huge dragon spread its wings which seemed to be able to block the whole sky.

Suddenly, Adolf shook violently and then spewed out a mouthful of blood!

The gaze in the sky was turning toward the direction of the area in the crystal ball where Adolf was looking at.

A hill-like figure wearing decayed armor was revealed in the endless dark clouds in the sky. It lifted its huge hand, and everything on the ground including the rocks, soil, city walls, and houses was suck up by a horrifying invisible force. Countless debris, houses, trees, and living creatures were lifted into the air by an unrivaled force. Then, the whole city was… shattered!

At this moment, in the distant Judgement G.o.dly Palace, all kinds of delicacies were placed on a long desk that was more than ten meters long in the magnificent hall. A middle-aged man dressed in a red priest's robe picked up some food with his chopsticks and said, “Try this! It's the meat of a level 8 sea beast, a delicacy that you can't have in any other place!”

Sitting across from him were Master Auth and Master Lywood, the most popular 'super masters' in the mystical realms.

Master Augh put a piece of sea beast meat into his mouth and savored it appreciatively. “The agent shop from the East Continent now has a bad reputation, right?”

“Some people are still defending it. But it's not important now,” Peable said with a smile, “Now, we're presented with a rare opportunity. After our guidance in the past year, people are casting more and more doubts on their 'Holy Light'. This time, if we make good use of the incident with the Shadow Legion, they will become public enemies!”

“Hahahaha! Mr. Peable, this is an excellent idea!” Master Lywood said with a laugh, “I'll arrange people to direct the public opinions.”

Then, it seemed like he contacted someone.

Dicas was still browsing the magic forum. Her pretty face darkened all the time. [So many haters! Do you guys make a living by tras.h.i.+ng Blizzard?!]

This forum was full of comments tras.h.i.+ng the 'Blizzard Workshop'. If anyone defended the 'Blizzard Workshop' and other related workshops, they would be tagged as traitors.

[Are you still bragging about Blizzard?! The Orc Kingdom has the most braggers of Blizzard. Where is your Holy Light? Where are your resurrection spells? You all died of bragging?] At this moment, Dicas saw a comment that frustrated her.

“Ahh-!” With red eyes, Dicas was so enraged that she cried as she replied immediately, [Can't you show some respect to the dead people?]

At this moment, probably since he had played the time for too hard and too long, Mr. Fang had fallen asleep at his computer desk, AFKing.

Then, the System suddenly beeped with a prompt.

Mr. Fang didn't move.

[Beep! Beep!]

“What…?” He continued sleeping.

[Beep! Beep!]

“Don't bother me!”

“Buzz-!” A sharp whistle sounding like metal grating on gla.s.s came to his ears.

“!!??” He instantly woke up.

“What are you doing, System?!” Mr. Fang was puzzled. In his opinion, the System had got lazy in the past year since it seldom talked to him except for releasing some sequels of games such as a.s.sa.s.sin's Creed, but now…

Two simple words appeared on the System Interface: [Issuing Task!]

“???” Nonplussed, Mr. Fang thought, Why are you suddenly issuing a new task when everything is fine?

Is it going to be another new game?! But the Burning Crusade was just released, right?

Mr. Fang glanced at the task.

[New task: Holy Light Miracle

Task Description: Lead the players in the new shop to a glorious victory with Holy Light.

Task a.s.sistance Items: the Symbol of Life* 5; Carrier Rock* 2 (The rock can make the figures whom the host has a synchronization rate of over 10 percent in the cultivation room appear in the real world for five minutes. It's an item for one-time use.)

Task Reward: Carrier Rock*1]

“The Symbol of Life?” Fang Qi remembered this item well. “This is the special item that the paladins and priests use to resurrect the dwarf when they learn the skill named Redemption, right?”

“Why did you give me this item?!”

And what is this Carrier Rock?!

At this moment, Mr. Fang saw a group of elves, knights and a.s.sa.s.sins running into the shop with tears in their eyes.

“What's the matter with you guys…?” Mr. Fang was baffled. “What's wrong…”

You were all fine and cheerful only yesterday; why do you all look so sad today?
