The sudden appearance of 200 Level 50 Tier-1 NPCs threw the already high-spirited Dragon Phoenix Pavilion members completely off guard.
Not only were the elite members of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion shocked—even Jiulong Huang, watching the show from afar, let his expression darken.
"Doesn't the intel say their NPC guards only number around fifty?" Jiulong Huang glared at the intelligence-gathering personnel beside him, barking out a harsh rebuke. "What exactly do you people do? You somehow missed two hundred Tier-1 NPCs! Explain this to me!"
A single Level 50 Tier-1 NPC was already difficult to deal with, requiring a full squad of elite members to pin down. Now there were two hundred more than expected—that would throw a massive wrench into his plans.
The intelligence team leader's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, too terrified to utter a single word. He had wanted to argue his case, but he knew Jiulong Huang's personality—the more you tried to explain, the worse the consequences.
"Fine. You're done. Someone else will take your place."
Jiulong Huang waved his hand, and the team leader was promptly dragged away and kicked out of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.
"Baihua, have the Crimson Legion move in to support as well. With the Crimson Legion's strength, they should be able to pin down 200 NPCs." At this point, Jiulong Huang couldn't be bothered figuring out how
"Yes. I'll lead the troops over right away." Baihua Luanwu smiled and nodded.
Before long, the thousand-strong Crimson Legion, which had been standing by, surged into the Zero Wing guild base as well.
And in the distance, the major guilds watching the spectacle were dumbstruck.
"Zero Wing really does have some tricks. With this many Tier-1 NPCs, even with the Crimson Legion to hold them back, it probably won't last long. After all, these are Level 50 Tier-1 NPCs. A single one is the equivalent of a Level 50 special Elite!" Xinghe Wangxi sighed with grudging admiration.
It was the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion dealing with Zero Wing—if any other first-rate guild tried, they wouldn't stand a chance.
The mass magic-suppression at the outset had driven the NPCs' combat power to its absolute lowest while simultaneously restricting Zero Wing's large-scale destructive magic, fully showcasing the experts' prowess and leaving Zero Wing with absolutely no recourse—all their advantages completely stripped away.
Inside the Zero Wing base, the two sides had already devolved into brutal close-quarters combat, reminiscent of an ancient battlefield.
The magic-type classes, who could have been unleashing devastating damage, were reduced to swinging their staffs like clubs…
In Divine Realm, magic-type classes weren't like those in other virtual games—they weren't completely incapable of melee combat. They were simply unskilled at it, with very few melee-oriented skills available, and since their base stats primarily invested in Intelligence and
But at this point, no one could afford to care about that. Even the healers on both sides had started brawling, let alone the other magic-type classes.
Compared to the monotonous combat of the magic-type classes, the physical-type classes fought with furious intensity.
No skills, no items—just raw fighting technique. The brutality was unimaginable.
The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's Battle Dragon Legion in particular was made up mostly of physical-type classes, each one a top-tier expert. On any normal day, any one of them could easily handle a same-level special Elite—or even go toe-to-toe with a same-level Leader.
What made an elite player elite wasn't merely having a level advantage—it was the ability to solo a same-level Elite monster. That was what defined an elite player, and in the eyes of ordinary Divine Realm players, a true expert was someone who could face a same-level special Elite head-on.
As for the top-tier experts in ordinary players' eyes, they could generally take on a same-level Leader—and Leaders were the bosses of small dungeons.
Every single member of the Battle Dragon Legion before them was, at minimum, capable of fighting a same-level Leader, and some could even solo-kill one.
