Chapter 144 - Dream Seeker Has Arrived

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Early in the morning, the sun rose and bathed the earth. Through the window, Li Yi, who was still sleeping soundly, was awakened.

Rubbing his eyes, Li Yi got up from bed and stretched. As usual, he washed up, had breakfast, and watched the news on TV.

He returned to the game pod, entered the game, and activated Divine Revelation.

He returned to the game and a large number of messages overwhelmed his inbox.

[SQ: Hey, you’ve heard about the Faction War, right? Are you interested in joining us?]

[CD: Sorry, I have my own arrangements.]

[SQ: Alright then.]

…

[CK: Bro, reply when you’re online.]

Clutch King had actually been online earlier than him; it looked like this kid knew about the Faction War as well.

[CD: See you at the agreed place.]

[CK: Yo, you’re online. Snow Chase is with me, we’ll be right there.]

…

[Winnie: I’m here! Take your time hehe!]

[CD: Okay, see you soon.]

…

“Huh?”

Li Yi had gotten a friend invitation.

He opened it to take a look. The ID showed someone with the name of Dream Seeker.

He had never heard of this person before. He clicked accept out of curiosity, then sent a message.

[CD: Hello, May I know who this is?]

After a while, a message ding could be heard.

[DS: The Treasure Merchant himself, I’m ready to talk.]

[CD: Good. Come to the West Wind Knight’s Camp in Emperor City and look for me.]

[DS: Okay.]

Li Yi was very happy. If Dream Seeker joined them, then the five-person team would be complete.

He chipperly headed toward the Western Wind Knight Army Camp.

When he arrived at the camp, there was Clutch King, Snow Chaser, Winnie, and an unfamiliar figure. Presumably, it was that Dream Seeker.

“Hey, everyone’s here.”

That unfamiliar figure was the same as before, his ID was hidden.

“We all know each other, so there’s no need to hide.”

“…”

The nameless person did not say anything, and it seemed that he still had some doubts.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Carefree Dream, and I’m a Guardian Warrior. Of course, my other hidden class is a Heavy Armored Dragon Knight.”

Li Yi gave Clutch King a look, and Clutch King immediately understood.

“Oh, about that, my name is Clutch King, and I’m a Fast-attack Warrior. The person next to me is Snow Chaser, and she’s a Healing Mage.”

Snow Chaser nodded politely at Dream Seeker, then looked at Winnie.

As Winnie was about to speak, Dream Seeker cut her to it first.

“Winnie, you’re one of the famous sociable sisters in Emperor City. I remember you being a Mage, so why are you wearing armor and holding a sword in your hand?”

Winnie glanced at Li Yi, who nodded to indicate that it was okay to share about her hidden class.

Winnie then explained, “My basic class is indeed being a Mage, but my hidden class is being a Magic Knight.”

The Dream Seeker looked at Winnie and Li Yi with great interest.

“Two hidden classes, that’s not common. As expected, Carefree Dream isn’t a simple player.”

“Hehe, I was just lucky. Are you ready to introduce yourself to us now?”

Dream Seeker hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

“Alright, then let me introduce myself. My name is Dream Seeker. You can add me as your friend. My occupation is the same as this Clutch King’s, but there are some differences.”

Clutch King suddenly became interested. “Oh, tell me, what’s the difference?”

“I might not be able to explain it well with words, so why don’t we have a PvP?”

Li Yi was deep in thought, this was his plan to test the waters of his squad.

Dream Seeker had indeed crafted this plan. Clutch King was a player on the leaderboard, and they were in the same occupation, so Dream Seeker had long since thought of sparring.

Moreover, if he really wanted to join Carefree Dream’s squad, everyone must have a good understanding of the strength of their members.

Thus, the two of them turned on the dueling mode in front of the military camp. In this mode, they could fight without worry. After the battle ended, both sides would automatically return to their original state, and there would not be any losses on either side. Furthermore, there would not be any red names, and it would not affect their status.

After the two sides activated duel mode, Clutch King was not the first to attack.

Right now, he was on the leaderboard, so he had to more or less take the high road.

“Oh, you’re not going to make a move? Well, then I shall make haste.”

“After you.”

Dream Seeker began to move, and there was nothing profound about these few steps. However, in the next instant, Dream Seeker’s figure disappeared into thin air.

Clutch King was astonished; he had never seen such a technique before.

“What is this, Invisibility?”

Snow Chaser was on the side with Winnie and Li YI as they attentively watched the scene in front of them.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not find any traces of her Dream Seeker anywhere.

Clutch King, on the other hand, was different on the field. He closed his eyes and listened attentively with his ears perked up.

On the side, Li Yi showed a gratified expression.

Clutch King had indeed grown as a player. Now that he knew how to calmly analyze a situation, he now used his brain to strategize his fights.

Clutch King’s method was very clever. Since a person could not see, they would have to listen.

Very soon, Clutch King made his move.

His Lightning Spear suddenly appeared in Clutch King’s hand and he threw it at an open space.

His weapon sped up like lightning, and in just a moment, it stabbed into the ground it was aiming at, but it did not seem to hit anyone.

However, there was a faint sound of footsteps around the Lightning Spear.

Clutch King caught the sound and rushed over in a flash. He picked up the Lightning Spear on the ground and waved it in that direction.

With the sound of weapons clashing, the original form of Dream Seeker, which had been hidden in the air, appeared.

The corners of Clutch King’s mouth curled up slightly.

“I’ve got you.”

Dream Seeker quickly broke free from Clutch King’s attack and wanted to go into hiding again, but Clutch King did not let him go.

“Shadow Clone!”

Clutch King immediately created three clones and surrounded Dream Seeker in all four directions, leaving him with nowhere to go.

After Dream Seeker was trapped… He had no choice but to raise his weapon to face the attack head-on.

At that moment, Clutch King held two blades in his hands as he looked at Dream Seeker and said very arrogantly, “I’m sorry, you’ve lost your chance.”

Dream Seeker frowned deeply and sensed that something was not right. He turned his head to look at his feet, where the Lightning Spear was sticking out.

A small bolt of lightning twined around his body.

“Purple Lightning.”

This was the passive nature of the Lightning Spear, which had an 80% chance of paralyzing the opponent. Now, Dream Seeker was stunned in his place.

The three clones disappeared, and Clutch King, who stood behind Dream Seeker, clamped his dual blades around his neck.

He whispered in his ear

“You lost.”

“As expected of someone on the leaderboard. You really live up to your reputation.”

“Thanks.”

“But do you think you can trap me like this so easily?”

” Well, my blade is on your neck, what else can you do?”

“Well…”

It was at this moment that Clutch King heard some strange sounds. He turned around and saw that there were actually many bombs under his feet.

Clutch King immediately stopped and shouted, “That’s not good!”

After he shouted, a loud bang ensued!
