Chapter 486 The Final Gathering
But a faint smile always lingered on his lips.
That smile held both expectation and disdain.
The question is whether the second overlapping period will bring any new surprises.
What he finds disdainful is that no matter what the surprise, it's all the same to him.
—They're all the same.
......
In the eastern border, on a certain plain.
Zhang Tianya stood on a boulder, looking down at the troops cleaning up the battlefield, a satisfied smile on his face.
The War Alliance and Blood Romance, with over three hundred members, had just killed a group of more than fifty wild monsters.
Those monsters were level 58 Shadow Hunters, fast, with high attack power, and extremely difficult to deal with.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, with perfect teamwork, and no one was killed.
"good."
He jumped off the boulder and walked to Li Weiwei's side. "Everyone is cooperating better and better. Especially you blood-red sisters, the treatment is very timely."
Li Weiwei nodded, a smile on her face.
"With you tanking in front, it's so much easier for us to deal damage from behind. Those Shadow Hunters can't even scratch you, so we can focus on dealing damage without worry."
Zhang Tianya chuckled and touched his nose.
He carried it very easily.
Since his talent was upgraded to SSS rank [Eternal Defense], his defensive capabilities have increased significantly.
With the top-tier equipment Lin Tian gave him, even level 58 elite monsters couldn't break his defenses now.
The Shadow Hunters' attacks only dealt single-digit damage to him, barely even a tickle.
"President!" Zhang Heng ran over excitedly, "The spoils are all tallied! This time we've reaped a great harvest!!"
Zhang Tianya nodded.
"Let everyone rest for a bit, then we'll prepare to depart. Distribute the medicine, and get the injured treated as soon as possible."
Zhang Heng was taken aback.
"Set off? Where to?"
Zhang Tianya looked into the distance.
"The boundary. The second overlap is approaching."
Zhang Heng's expression changed slightly.
"Guild Master, are we really going? That place is... I heard a lot of people are going this time, all the major guilds from the East and West will be there. Our numbers are so small..."
Zhang Tianya patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. With me here, you won't die. Besides, Boss Lin Tian is over there too. If anything happens to him, we'll have to go help him."
Zhang Heng looked at him, then at Li Weiwei, and finally nodded.
"yes!"
Zhang Tianya turned around and looked at Li Weiwei.
"What about you? Are you going to Blood Romance?"
Li Weiwei rolled her eyes at him.
"Nonsense. Of course we sisters will follow you. But let me make this clear: if there's any danger, you'll be the first to rush in and protect us."
Zhang Tianya smiled.
"Absolutely."
He turned around and looked at the team members who were resting.
"Brothers! We're heading to the border in half an hour!"
"yes!!!"
......
The western frontier, in the wilderness.
Kenichi Sato beheaded the last escapee with a single stroke.
The man screamed and vanished in a flash of white light.
Several pieces of equipment dropped from his body, clattering and falling to the ground.
The battle is over.
Sato stood there, letting the blood drip down the blade.
His expression was calm, even somewhat bored.
Hikaru Kobayashi walked up to him, holding a list in his hand.
"Guild leader, the count is complete. There are a total of 372 people in this group. We gained points from the kills... Our team suffered zero casualties."
Sato raised his hand to interrupt him.
"No need to report. I know how many there are."
Kobayashi Hikaru nodded and put away the list.
Sato looked around.
The wilderness was littered with traces of battle.
The corpses of those lone warriors had long since vanished in a flash of white light, but a considerable amount of equipment and potions remained scattered on the ground—these were what they dropped after they died.
The members of the Dark Raven Group were cleaning up the battlefield, picking up the equipment piece by piece and sorting it out.
They moved quickly and efficiently, clearly accustomed to this kind of work.
Chishima Rin walked over, a look of lingering satisfaction on her face.
"Guild Master, this group is too weak, it's no fun. More than three hundred people, and they couldn't even last ten minutes. I killed the strongest one with a single strike."
Sato glanced at her.
"The weak have their own way of playing. You can't expect every group of people to surprise you. But little by little, over three hundred people together can add up to a lot of points."
Chishima Rin pouted.
"When will I be able to encounter a strong opponent? My hands are itching to get one."
Sato did not answer.
He simply looked into the distance.
That's the direction of the border.
"Soon," he said.
Hikaru Kobayashi walked up to him and adjusted his glasses.
"President, Marcus's men have been watching us. Several spies have been loitering around here since just now."
Sato gave a cold laugh.
"Let him keep an eye on it."
Kobayashi Hikaru hesitated for a moment.
"Should we... take care of them? I can arrange for an assassination team."
Sato shook his head.
"Ignore him. There's nothing to fear about him."
He gripped the knife handle tightly.
"We have only one goal."
Chishima Rin's eyes lit up.
"Lin Tian?"
Sato nodded.
"Let's go. To the border."
He strode forward.
Behind them, more than three hundred members of the Dark Raven Group followed closely like a black tide.
Their footsteps were perfectly synchronized, exuding a murderous aura.
......
The western border, another place.
Marcus DuPont smashed the head of the last rock golem with a hammer blow, panting heavily.
"Damn, these monsters are really tough. The golem's shell is so hard, it's made my hands numb."
Catherine walked over to him and flicked the blood off the whip.
"It's alright. A bit better than the last batch. But that elite almost killed me; if I had reacted a second slower, I would have been dead."
Jack crouched down and examined his shield.
The heavy shield was covered with new cracks and had several gaps at the edges, but it was still in relatively good condition overall.
"Boss, how many did we kill this time?"
Marcus looked at Vincent.
Vincent emerged from the shadows, his face expressionless.
"There are forty-three in total, ranging from level 57 to 60. The total points are..." he announced a number.
Marcus raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Points aren't important. Get to the point."
Vincent pointed.
"There's movement from Sato's side. They just killed a group of over three hundred rogues, leaving none alive. They're now moving towards the border. They're maintaining excellent formation, with scouts all around them; they're clearly prepared."
Marcus's eyes lit up.
"Oh?"
Vincent continued, "Based on observation, their target this time is very clear—the border area. Furthermore, their team includes about fifty elites, all core members of the Dark Raven Group, equipped with purple gear or higher. Also, Chishima Rin is there; she seems to be in excellent condition."
Marcus laughed.
"You came prepared. Good, good."
He looked at Catherine.
