VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 746: An Avalanche

Translator: alyschu

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"

I yelled and continued to swing my Cyan Netherworld Sword, unleashing Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash into the crowd of enemies. We needed to push them back and stop them from advancing any further.

Blazing balls of fire fell from the sky and wreaked havoc amid the Dragonlight Cavalry. Xu Yang’s armor was scorched by the flaming spheres and his health dropped below 10%. Turning red with anger he shouted, "Goddammit!"

The Dragonlight Cavalry continued to retreat swiftly. However, we were forced into a dead end again. An icy cliff was right behind us!

......

"We can’t retreat anymore!" Chaos Moon looked at me and yelled, "Lu Chen! We will really be eliminated here if we continue to retreat!"

I opened up the map quickly and scanned the terrain nearby. As I quickly scanned the map for escape routes, I noticed a small bear cave just behind us. However, its entrance had been sealed by a layer of ice when it snowed suddenly.

I urged the Ice Qilin Horse forward and led a group of people toward the entrance. However, ice formed extremely fast inside the game. I gritted my teeth in anger when I saw that the entrance was covered with a layer of ice that was a few feet thick!

"This..."

He Yi threw me a questioning look and asked, "Are we gonna hide in that bear cave?"

"Mn, that’s our best option for now."

I raised my sword and shouted, "Those with high Attack, attack that layer of ice! Our survival hinges on being able to carve a path into that cave!”

Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, He Yi and Gui Guzi raised their swords and charged toward the entrance of the cave. In the next instant, skills such as Burning Blade Slash, Universe Break, Rock Crush, Xiezhi Howl, Purgatory of Ice and Magma were all launched at the thick layer of ice. Bang sounds rang out continuously and the thick layer of ice started to crumble within a matter of seconds.

Roar!

A wild bear lunged at us suddenly as the thick layer of ice to the entrance of the cave crumbled. It was most probably angry at us for invading its home.

"Get inside!"

I quickly dismounted from the horse and sent the bear flying back into the cave with a single kick. Signalling to the rest of the cavalry, I said, "Quick! Dragonlight Cavalry, get inside the cave! The cave is narrow so the enemy mages will not be able to attack us head-on. We’ll kill anyone who dares to enter! Get in now!"

I stretched out a hand to grasp He Yi’s cold, dainty palm and pulled her into the bear cave. The Phantom Wolf King’s fur stood on its end as it dashed into the cave with a howl. It sunk its teeth into the wild bear, killing it instantly.

We rushed into the cave in a single file and the cave was soon filled with 1100 Dragonlight Cavalrymen. The tally made a realization dawn on me. Fuck, we lost nearly two hundred men to this group of mages! My heart aches just thinking about it!

......

A bunch of enemy mages caught up to us and surrounded the entrance of the cave. They unleashed many domain-type spells like Icy Rain, locking down the entrance to the cave. A high-level mage turned red with anger and shouted, "Shit! That Dragonlight Cavalry has killed too many of our allies! We’ll surround them, set the cave on fire and make roast pork out of them! Pooh! All they do is escape! So much for China’s best cavalry! Pooh!"

Another mage spoke out, "Let’s seal the entrance with heavy fire so that they can’t escape. Quickly! Inform the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry to charge into the cave and slaughter every last Dragonlight Cavalryman! We have to help the Behemoth Cavalry regain the honor of the Northern Alliance! Hmph! The Germans will surely owe us big time now!"

The rumbling of horse hooves gradually grew louder.

As we waited anxiously in the chilly bear cave, I continued to hold He Yi’s hand as her eyes glistened in the dark.

I squeezed her hand and said, "The Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry will be here soon. We’ll be trapped like sitting ducks if we simply do nothing! Their priests can heal them but we can’t recover our HP!"

He Yi opened up the map, now updated for the cave we were in, and her eyes swiftly swept across it. Soon after, she broke out into a small smile and said, "Lu Chen, look! This bear cave has two openings. One of them is at the foot of the mountain and the other is located halfway up the mountain. We can exit the cave through the other entrance!"

I raised my sword with excitement and said in a low voice, "Alright! Eve and I will go scout the other opening. Chaos Moon and Little Gui will stay here and send two or three men to guard the entrance. Kill any Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalryman that comes in. We must not let them in, otherwise we’re doomed!"

"Understood! Don’t worry, Boss Broken Halberd!" Gui Guzi twisted his spear around and laughed. "I’ve picked up some maneuvering skills from Beauty Lin! I lost to her many times at the arena just a few days ago..."

I was speechless at Gui Guzi’s words. Lin Yixin has been hiding in the arena then! No wonder I haven’t been able to find her anywhere.

......

After bidding goodbye to the rest, I summoned my apparition and led He Yi further into the cave. The Phantom Wolf King was more than enough to handle the wild bears residing in the cave as they were only Level 160. He Yi and I raced through the cave, unaffected by the wild bears. We had to be quick. Otherwise, the Dragonlight Cavalry would suffer losses.

We ran down the winding path of the cave as it led up the mountain. I held my Cyan Netherworld Sword in front of me, illuminating the cave with its glow. He Yi followed closely behind me, as we continued up the mountain. Her cheeks started to turn pink as she panted heavily.

After running for about five minutes, we heard Gui Guzi’s voice in the chat, "They’re here! Fuck! Is there a need for such a big fuss? 50k Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen are right outside the entrance of the cave and they are gonna charge in with the help of the mages. Chaos Moon, you and High Fighting Spirits defend on the other side! Those with ranged skills, go to the frontlines and get ready to defend! Everyone, use your Barrier Breaks as much as possible! Attack!”

Following that, sounds of swords piercing through metal started to ring out and I frowned in worry. Damn it! Those Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen are truly eager to annihilate us! The battle has already begun, so He Yi and I have to be quick!

......

We continued down the path with the glow of my sword as our only light source. Meanwhile, 80000 elite mages and 50000 Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen of the Northern Alliance had congregated at the foot of the mountain. The only goal of this group of elite players was to annihilate our 1100-strong Dragonlight Cavalry. It only showed how humiliated the Northern Alliance was.

"Almost there! I see a thread of light above..." He Yi said as she tilted her head to look up.

I laughed in relief and continued to hold out my sword so I could see in the dark. My other hand grasped He Yi’s hand so she wouldn’t slip and fall.

......

After climbing up the slope for another hundred feet, we looked up and noticed that a layer of ice had formed over the opening. Damn it all! Of course the entrance was blocked! If it snowed at the bottom, it would also snow halfway up the mountain! Only god knows how thick this layer of ice is! Fuuuuck!

"OMG! The layer of ice is so thick..." He Yi looked up and said, "I don’t know if Purgatory of Ice and Magma and Burning Blade Slash will be enough to break such a thick slab of ice."

I sucked in a deep breath and said, "Let my apparition try breaking it with Purple Dragon Howl!"

"Mn!’

A purple ray exploded beneath us as my apparition activated Purple Dragon Howl. A purple dragon energy rushed forward and collided heavily against the thick layer of ice!

Bang, bang, bang!

A draconic roar rang out as the layer of ice trembled. Cracks started to form on the layer of ice as it broke into pieces and gave way. The cave was instantly lit up as rays of sun shone through the opening of the cave. Alright! We can pass through now!

He Yi and I glanced at each other with excitement and started to crawl out of the cave. As I exited the cave, I glanced at my surroundings and noticed that we were close to the peak of the mountain range.

The snow around us was almost two feet thick and the entire Dragonbone Mountain Range had already been covered in white shimmering snow.

"Alright! Let’s tell everyone to retreat!" He Yi laughed.

"Hold on..."

I reached out a hand to stop He Yi before pointing a finger into the distance. "Eve, look over there. Is that..."

I was pointing at a pine tree that was laid on the ground, buried underneath a pile of snow.

He Yi’s gaze followed my finger as she shivered. "Did that Purple Dragon Howl cause a small avalanche?"

"It did!" I nodded my head heavily.

I grinned as I looked at the crowd of Northern Alliance players and the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry below us. The unsuspecting bunch of Northern Alliance players was too focused on killing every single Dragonlight Cavalrymen. They had no idea of the impending danger!

......

"Lu Chen, are you thinking of burying those Northern Alliance elite players under an avalanche?" He Yi asked as she looked at me with mesmerizing eyes.

I nodded my head and smiled. "Mn. I think it’s a feasible course of action."

I looked to the edge of the mountain and saw a giant boulder which looked like it was about to roll off the mountain. However, there were three other smaller rocks of different sizes underneath that boulder, holding the large boulder in place. All we had to do was to smash those smaller rocks so that the large boulder would roll down the mountain. That would trigger a snowball effect! Surely it would create an absolutely shocking avalanche!

However, a full-blown avalanche would surely shake the heavens and the earth. Half of the Dragonbone Mountain Range would tremble under the force of the avalanche and a small map such as the bear cave would surely collapse then. The 1100 Dragonlight Cavalrymen inside the cave would surely be buried alive under the weight of the snow. That was something I would never want to witness.

After discussing the plan with He Yi, we came to a decision. Opening the guild chat, I said, "Little Gui and Chaos Moon, lead the cavalry and return to the city. You’ll be able to return in an hour if you teleport to Wind City and make your way to Dawn City from there!"

"Alright!"

Without asking for an explanation, he led the main cavalry back to the city.

......

"Prepare yourselves!"

I raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword and took aim for those rocks. Then I unleashed two ranged attacks, Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash. He Yi followed suit as she unleashed her Purgatory of Ice and Magma!

Boom, boom, boom!

Snow started to slide down the mountain range as the mountain trembled from the blast. However, our attacks had only gotten rid of the small rocks. The other rocks were too big and did not move an inch!

"Goddammit!"

I gritted my teeth in anger before glancing at the cooldown on my Purple Dragon Howl. Yes! It’s ready! The cooldown on it is done because I used my apparition to use it most of the time!

I downed a Saint Spirit Potion and regained a full bar of MP. It’s time to begin!

Bang!

I thrust my sword into the ground and it shook violently. I swiftly pulled my sword out and swung it, unleashing a dragon of purple energy. The divine dragon roared as it flew forward and exploded against a few large boulders!

Boom, boom, boom!

Sounds of exploding rocks rang out continuously. I gasped in shock when the Purple Dragon Howl reduced the large boulders to rubble. A hundred feet tall boulder trembled and started to roll down the mountain, accumulating tons of snow along the way and growing bigger and bigger at an exorbitant rate!

The Dragonbone Mountain Range trembled violently and an avalanche struck!

He Yi and I quickly entered battle mode and ran away from the avalanche. However, it also meant that we were unable to use our teleportation scrolls to teleport to safety.

......

"Eve! Grab onto me!"

I wrapped an arm around He Yi and heavily stabbed the Cyan Netherworld Sword into a boulder. I held on to my sword tightly as we were suspended from the side of the mountain and watched the rocks roll off the mountain one by one.

A large mass of snow started to slide off the mountain range rapidly, enveloping everything at the base of the mountain.

Ding~!
