Sword Among Us Chapter 308 – Kill Without Mercy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“He’s not an NPC, he seems to be a player!”

“How can this be?”

“He came out from the cabin! Could it be that this person is with the fleet?”

The appearance of a mysterious man and his attire that was much better than countless players’ stunned everyone by Common Reed Bank. Even though the man did not say anything, his actions showed the confidence and demeanor of an elite!

The people who were right at the front came to a swift stop and sized up the person with sparkling eyes. His Yellow Dragon Archer Gear, Golden Gauntlet, Yellow Dragon Boots, Bamboo Hat, and his sword in its sheath seemed to all be extraordinary equipment. At the sight of the, the crowd’s expression turned grave.

When they faced the person who stood on the bridge wing, they found that he appeared composed and relaxed despite facing countless martial artists. Hence, the players looked at each other at a loss. They did not quite know what to do then.

That was how people always reacted.

When they heard of something good, they would always rush to the front for it, but when they faced unknown dangers, they would want others to rush ahead of them first.

At the moment the mysterious man put the Bamboo Hat on his head and covered it, the eyes of quite a number of female players in the crowd sparkled. They instantly forgot their goal for the trip.

Some people left quietly.

There was no other reason for it, but that the Murong Clan’s fleet was already a difficult target. It would have been easier if they were commanded by an NPC, but if they were commanded by players, the battle would definitely be much more horrifying than what they had expected.

However, the brief moment of pause did not stop the others from attacking from the other directions of Common Reed Bank!

Countless arrows shot out from the crowd and flew toward the other ships. The sound of air being sliced through could be heard nonstop, and quite a number of players broke through the ships’ defense line under the cover provided by the archers’ great power. They shifted near the ships, and some even jumped up in preparation to slaughter their way to the ships.

Happy frowned.

Without another word, he quickly vanished from the bridge wing.

He activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill and moved through the paths between the ships like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the ship that was under the strongest fire.

Originally, Xu Hong’s ship had lost quite a number of armed escorts because of Water Rascal’s attack. Hence, it was the ship with the weakest defense among the fleet. Happy’s original intention was to split some of the pressure that would fall on the leading ship, but he did not expect that the leading ship would not be attacked, and the other ships would first fall under fire.

‘Let’s hope that the leading ship won’t be attacked just yet!’

Happy could only place his hopes on Xu Hong for the time being. As an officer for the Murong Clan, he should possess some abilities.

When Happy landed on the ship he aimed for, he saw that even though the helpless situation of all manpower on the ship being killed because of countless players boarding it had not happened, quite a number of armed escorts had died under the hands of a man with two hatchets. The surviving armed escorts had given up on using their repeating crossbows, and with the protection provided by their metal armor, they blocked off the attacks from the martial artists who boarded their ship from everywhere.

“Ah!”

“This old man is good! Kill him first!”

No one noticed Happy’s arrival. Around a dozen martial artists were either blown into the river or fell on the banks again from the second level in a very pathetic manner. But they swiftly got up again and called out for more people to surround an old man in a brocade robe on the second level.

The old man had a cold glare in his eyes and showed no fear!

“You bunch of rebels!”

While he roared in anger, he used his palms to move at ease among Mystical Realm players. Occasionally, someone would be thrown off the ship by an astonishing force.

The situation was not completely tilted to one side.

“Haha! Again! Again! This money is coming at me so easily! Haha!”

The man with the hatchets had clearly obtained the rewards for his kills after taking out multiple armed escorts. He was filled with boundless enthusiasm as he jumped on the deck to head to another two armed escorts while laughing nonstop.

Whoosh!

Right when he charged in front of the two armed escorts, the sound of air being sliced apart rose beside his ears, and he scowled.

‘You’re actually thinking of stealing my kill?’

He spun with his hatchets and delivered a slash boldly.

“Fourth, careful!”

Quite a number of people had jumped on the ship at that moment, and they were just in time to see the newcomer’s attack, to which they shouted a warning in fear.

But they were too late.

The black hatchets spun around and sliced at the air in a full circle at lightning speed, but they did not manage to hit their target. The man’s heart then let out a loud thump, and he quickly realized that the situation was bad for him. His mind worked quickly, and he looked around. In the blind spot of his vision, he saw a man with a Bamboo Hat whose face could not be seen clearly. He moved freely, and he had one hand against against the sheath while the other was placed on the sword’s hilt. An astonishing sword glare rose swiftly, and it was a classic sword draw technique!

Clang!

A pleasant sword whine rose, and the man shuddered. He took three loud, continuous steps backwards, and a line of cracks formed on the deck. Fortunately for him, however, he did not die.

Happy took three steps backwards and stared at the blood trickling out of the man’s mouth, as well as his armor. He let out a barely audible gasp of surprise.

‘He actually managed to withstand 80% of Seven Stars Sword Style’s power and not die? It’s no wonder why he managed to kill so many armed escorts so quickly. As expected, there are a few players with outstanding abilities in this group!’

But Happy did not know that the man in front of him had already been filled with fear…

His Black Bear Silver Armor could increase defense by 600. With his high-tier body fortification technique at the eighth realm and activated Mystical Realm, his defense could reached more than 1,500 points. Even when he faced multiple elites who had martial arts at Grandmaster Realm and were at Mystical Realm, he could handle them with ease. He thus did not expect that he would be injured by a stranger on this ship!

“Are you alright?”

Four men and one woman appeared beside the man. When they saw the blood at the corners of his lips, their expressions changed, and when they looked at the mysterious man with the Bamboo Hat, their gazes turned grave.

“Sir, you are…”

“I don’t have time to waste on idle chatter.” Happy looked around. The situation was becoming more and more perilous. His tone also immediately became much colder than before. “If you want to live, get out of the ship. If you don’t, I will kill all of you without mercy!”

His words were not targeted at the six only. Instead, he spoke to all the martial artists who attacked the ship!

A few men and women who had just jumped on the ship were just in time to hear Happy’s arrogant words, and they looked over at the same time.

‘Heh! Interesting… There’s actually a player over here.’

“Kill without mercy? You sure talk big! Come, let me see just how good you are, handsome boy…”

One of the women dressed up coquettishly swayed her hips and took two steps towards Happy. She was full of smiles, and her tone was frivolous. Clearly, she was slightly interested in Happy, who had an outstanding presence with the Bamboo Hat.

However, she chose the wrong time and place to crack a joke.

Happy appeared behind her like a gust of wind, and the expression of a few martial artists who were talking to each other changed. They could not see Happy’s actions at all.

When they lifted their weapons, their throats or hearts already bled.

With Phantasm Body Movement Skill’s speed and element of abruptness as well as Seven Stars Sword Styles’ speed and damage, Happy’s attacks could not be blocked by the Blessed Realm martial artists before him!

Their body fortifications were not that much sturdier than a piece of paper before his Seven Stars Sword Styles, which delivered more than 2,400 damage when Happy had equipped Nation Protecting Divine Sword.

Thud!

Happy did not stop. With a tap of his foot, he shifted to the bridge wing. Only when he arrived at that place did he hear the sound of corpses falling to the ground. The six men and one woman who had mocked him fell in pools of their own blood.
