Chapter 241: The Mastermind

Chapter 241: The Mastermind

Drako Yau left the Arena and went straight back to his home, took off his mask, and dropped onto his bed. He let out a long sigh; he was under great tension just now.

Tigeroar was indeed worthy of his title as guild master of the second-ranked guild in the game. With his luxurious equipment and all sorts of buffs, Tigeroar was even stronger than the mysterious golden-haired young man Drako Yau had fought before.

That was an unfair comparison though. In that fight, both Drako Yau and the young man couldnt use their equipment. Who knew what sort of equipment and items he had?

Under normal circumstances, Drako Yau would unhesitatingly fight head-on. When had he ever been afraid of partaking in a contest of combat techniques? Dragon Seeker, the old geezers spearmanship, and Empyreal Dragon Step were all first-rate techniques. After going through countless battles, Drako Yau had the experience to back up his confidence.

However, Tigeroar was far superior after receiving bonuses from his equipment, furniture, and skills. Divine Martial Swords buff alone almost made Drako Yaus hands crack with just a single attack, and hed definitely drop his weapon after three exchanges. He had no choice but to engage differently by using his speed and scrolls to hide.

Drako Yau rubbed his tense face while recalling the battle. It was a habit he had for many years as reviewing his fights allowed him to do better in the next one.

The battle against Tigeroar also stirred his emotions. In a fair and equal duel, Tigeroar likely couldnt defeat Drako Yau even if he had two clones of himself. Yet by utilising his dual class, buffing himself with Berserker skills, hidden skills, and all sorts of equipment, Tigeroar managed to corner Drako Yau.

Tigeroar was right: this was a game. Drako Yau won barely only because he had Flickering Headband as his trump card. Now that it was exposed, Tigeroar would be ready for it next time.

When it came to skills Dying Precision, Wanderers hidden skill, was undoubtedly an overpowered skill, though its cost was just as great. Unless Drako Yau was entirely sure that he could win, he dared not to use it because itd leave him defenceless afterwards. He had used it only when he was completely out of options. As a staid person, such a gamble didnt suit him, thus he had never used it after his class progression and cultivating Cryoflame.

Drako Yau wanted to use Dragon Capturing Hand, but the battle was too tense for him to find the right moment. He had also used the skill when Empyreal Spire tried to kill him and in the battle of Mount Soughslit. Once the enemy was on guard against it, it was a lot less effective despite its outstanding skill effects.

Apart from levelling up Dragon Capturing Hand Drako Yau then muttered, Looks like I can only work on my equipment

Moments later, he fell sound asleep. Frost Form had consumed his mental strength as much as phase two of Flame Form had drained his physical stamina, not to mention the exhaustion of his internal forces.

Chau Yu was very dissatisfied with himself and the situation he was in. To play a game of chess with Mask, he needed chess pieces, but he felt that all he had was a rook and knight when Mask had all the pieces he wanted.

A phone call abruptly put an end to his contemplation. The notification read, You have received a video call request from ???. Accept?

Chau Yu smiled bitterly and tapped Clairaudiencers shoulder. Ill go pick up a call first, he said before entering the room which only the alliance master of Empyreal Alliance could enter.

Chau Yu heaved a sigh. He felt shameful for feeling scared. Its just Mask, have I, Chau Yu, ever feared anyone?

He put on a determined gaze and accepted the video call. A three-dimensional hologram appeared, showing the same old fiery-red mask.

How can I help you?

How can you help me? A cold voice came from Masks projection, seemingly cooling down the warm room slightly. Chau Yu, I know you want to take over Empyreon, but I am no hatchet man. This is the first, as well as the last time. Once more and youll get a war declaration from Dragon Alliance.

Chau Yu was surprised deep down, but he kept a composed look as he calmly responded, Youve guessed it?

Drako Yaus voice was just as calm and emotionless. Many find Roaring World an eyesore, but few have the courage to make a move. And youre one of the few.

Chau Yu was the mastermind behind the dispute between Roaring World and Dragon Alliance. It wasnt easy to pull off, nor was it particularly difficult either. All he did was order his spies in Roaring World to kill several of Dragon Alliances players and act haughtily, since he knew Dragon Alliance definitely wouldnt let such a thing slide. After the spies were killed, they requested reinforcements through the guild channel. It was just that easy to pull off.

However, Roaring World was very stringent with player recruitment, and getting into the second-ranked guild was no simple task. After this incident, Chau Yus spies could no longer stay in Roaring World.
