"A measly Guild like Zero Wing dares provoke all of our Dark Guilds? They must be tired of living . "
"If we don't annihilate Zero Wing, the other Guilds will start to think that we're weak . "
"I had only planned to humor the Blackwater Corporation . However, now it's personal!"
"Our Dark Guilds will not rest until Zero Wing's name has been erased from Star-Moon Kingdom!"
Shortly after Zero Wing announced its crusade, the various Dark Guild's upper echelons issued their response .
Originally, there hadn't been many Dark Guild players in White River City . However, after Zero Wing's declaration, cloaked players began to flood into the city . Moreover, Zero Wing's members experienced more ambushes in the fields around White River City .
…
"Guild Leader, now that the members from the various Dark Guilds have gathered, our Guild's parties can't leave the city . Only larger teams have any sense of safety in the fields . Some of those Dark Guilds have even begun to boldly stalk our Guild Residence's entrance, trailing anyone who leaves and finding an opportunity to ambush them," Aqua Rose reported, frowning .
She didn't understand what Shi Feng was trying to do .
They could deal with a single Dark Guild . Now, however, members from over a dozen Dark Guilds had gathered in White River City . The city was practically a hub for Red Names now, yet Zero Wing couldn't do anything about it .
As long as these Red Players wore cloaks and disguised themselves with various items, they could easily trick the NPC guards . Even if they were discovered, as long as they escaped to the fields, they would vanish without a trace .
Although she had dispatched Zero Wing's core members to kill some of these Dark Guild players, they barely made a scratch . If they continued this war of attrition, these Dark Guilds would wear Zero Wing down . Furthermore, Blackwater and Heaven's Burial were watching their Guild closely .
"They've gathered in White River City?" Nodding, Shi Feng smiled and said, "We should celebrate . With this, we won't have to waste time looking for them . "
Aqua Rose was confused . Despite the increasing number of enemies, Shi Feng thought this was a good thing .
However, Shi Feng did not bother to explain . He simply led Aqua Rose and Fire Dance to the Adventurer's Association .
In the end, Dark Guilds were still Dark Guilds . They were no different than street rats that were forced to hide in dark corners . Now that they were acting so bold inside an NPC city, they had to pay the price .
"Hello, sir; how may I be of service to you today?" the blond NPC beauty behind the counter asked as she watched Shi Feng's group approach .
"Hello, I wish to purchase a Blood Aura Crystal . Also, I want to activate White River City's High Alert Mode," Shi Feng said .
Neither Aqua Rose or Fire Dance had any idea of what was going on .
They had never heard of the Blood Aura Crystal or the so-called High Alert Mode .
"Sir, you'll need to be at least a two-star adventurer to purchase the Blood Aura Crystal . As for activating White River City's High Alert Mode, you need to be a three-star adventurer to apply for that," the NPC beauty explained .
"Will this identity be enough?" Shi Feng chuckled as he switched to the Spirit Slayer title .
The Spirit Slayer title was an Advanced Title that allowed him to enjoy four-star benefits in the Adventurer's Association . His status was equivalent to that of a Vice Branch Association Master .
"So, it is Lord Spirit Slayer . Here is the Blood Aura Crystal . As you are a four-star adventurer, you will receive a 30% discount . You may purchase the Blood Aura Crystal for 700 Gold . As for applying for the city's High Alert Mode, you must pay a 1,400-Gold application fee . " Upon seeing Shi Feng's title, the NPC beauty adopted a more respectful tone and posture as she spoke with Shi Feng .
"Alright," Shi Feng said . He then handed 2,100 Gold to the NPC .
Both the Blood Aura Crystal and the city's High Alert Mode were Red Players nemeses . This was why players from the various Dark Guilds avoided NPC cities .
The Blood Aura Crystal could detect players' Blood Aura within a certain range . Only players who had killed other players or lawful NPCs had a Blood Aura . It was similar to PvP players' Red Names . It also took a long time for a player to get rid of their Blood Aura .
In the past, the Blood Aura Crystal had been commonly used to target Dark Guilds . Only, current players had not discovered this yet . The Blood Aura Crystal was also very expensive, and only two-star adventurers could purchase and use it .
As for the High Alert Mode, to put it simply, it would prevent all players within White River City from equipping Black Cloaks to hide their identities . The patrolling NPCs would also wield an Advanced Detection Stone that would pick up on Dark Creatures' auras and Red Players' Blood Auras . At the same time, players within the city would not be able to use teleportation items . With this mode, there were only two ways to leave the city: the Teleportation Hall and the city's entrance . However, high-tiered NPCs guarded both locations . Without the Black Cloak to hide their identities, Red Players had no escape .
"Lord Spirit Slayer, your application has been approved . High Alert Mode will last for three natural days . You will have to wait another week before you can reapply for this mode," the NPC beauty respectfully informed Shi Feng .
After the NPC finished speaking, a system announcement rang throughout White River City .
White River City System Announcement: The city has temporarily entered High Alert Mode . All teleportation tools will no longer function within the city .
The system announcement repeated three times, dazing White River City's players .
"What's this High Alert Mode?"
"Did somebody trigger a special quest?"
As the city's players wondered about the system announcement, every player wearing a Black Cloak was revealed .
"What's going on?!"
"Why isn't my Black Cloak working?!"
The Dark Guild players camping outside Zero Wing's Residence panicked at this sudden development .
Without their Black Cloaks' Hide effect, the high-tiered NPCs would easily see through their disguises .
As Red Players, they were as good as dead if they were caught inside an NPC city!
"Guards are coming!"
"Don't worry . They're only patrol guards, not high-tiered NPCs . We just need to be careful . Once this High Alert Mode ends, we can leave the city safely . "
"You're right . Only advanced Identification Skills can see through our disguises . "
Just as these Red Players started to relax, the patrol guards over 200 yards away charged towards them . Without hesitation, the NPC guards began to slaughter these Dark Guild players .
For a time, battles broke out across White River City, shocking the city's ordinary players .
After a few minutes, all Dark Guild members within White River City were dead . Not one had survived the NPC guards' onslaught . However, this was not the worst part . It was common knowledge that, in White River City, the punishment for attacking another player was quite severe . If the city's NPCs caught these Dark Guild members, who had killed countless players, these players only real option was to delete their accounts and start all over…
