Samsara Online-Novel

For the second time in a single day, Xie Feng had leveled up. Although Xie Feng’s experience bar was not completely empty when he logged on to Samsara Online very early in the morning, even before the sun peeked over the horizon, raising two levels in just one day was a great challenge.

More importantly, if it wasn’t because Xie Feng was currently in a group, he might have gone up one more level instead of just one level.

When forming a group with other players, in addition to seeing each other’s health bar on a small panel, the players nearby also shared their experience points by killing a monster. These experience points were divided equally between each nearby member automatically, the only exception being the one who killed the monster; in other words, the person who killed the monster got a little more experience than the rest. This way, players could level up faster in many occasions when the monsters were too much for one person to deal with.

On the other hand, Ling Long leveled up as well. Although Xie Feng had left the little dragon with Xie Yao to protect her in case an incident similar to that of the Imperial Triton Soldier happened again, since he and Ling Long were bound by a contract, the experience of the monsters he killed was also divided between the two of them. Of course, the same was true in case Ling Long killed monsters.

In truth, Ling Long could have gone up more than a single level since pets always require less experience than players when leveling up. However, in return, pets were weakened by becoming a player’s pet. For example, if Ling Long was not Xie Feng’s pet and she was just a free monster in Samsara Online... Xie Feng didn’t even want to think about how terrifying Ling Long would be as an Immortal grade dragon without being suppressed by the pet condition.

But, what mattered most to Xie Feng were the final two announcements. A divinity? Title with the ability to grow and evolve into something beyond? Xie Feng’s head was full of questions that, once again, could not be answered by anyone else.

In the end, Xie Feng sighed internally and decided to do what one of those announcements said; continue moving forward! Xie Feng firmly believed that as long as he kept loyal to himself and his steps did not stop, there would come a time when all his questions would be answered.

Xie Feng did not return to the south gate again after he successfully killed the Red-eyed Mutated Ape. Instead, he stayed at the east gate together with One Man Army and Mu Wuying.

"You don’t have to do this." Mu Wuying bit her lower lip, feeling guilty. "You can go back to your defense zone, we should be fine here.... If it wasn’t for the childish attitude of certain people, none of this would have happened."

Mu Wuying knew perfectly well that if the southern gate of Eminentis City was penetrated by the monsters, the person who would be drowned in hatred, even though no one had the right to complain, would be Xie Feng. Moreover, Mu Wuying was sure that certain people would try and seize the opportunity to defame Xie Feng in every possible way.

At the same time that she felt guilty for depending on him and putting him in a difficult situation, Mu Wuying hated Unsurpassed Defense even more. Mu Wuying was a generally quiet, kind, and modest person, so one could imagine how much discomfort Unsurpassed Defense’s attitude caused the beauty.

"It’’s okay." Xie Feng shook his head slightly and remarked. "Even without me, they will be able to overcome the fourth wave without any problems and even have the ability to resist the attack of the fifth wave for a certain amount of time."

One Man Army raised an eyebrow feeling somewhat surprised by the confidence contained in Shiva’s words. Where did his confidence come from? Was it Yang Tian or Red Snow? Or maybe someone else?

One Man Army had no idea that Xie Feng’s confidence to say those words actually came from a girl who did not even have an attack skill of her own due to her class.

After approximately twenty minutes, the monsters of the fourth wave finally appeared in the distance, rushing relentlessly towards the players.

The players in charge of guarding the east gate had drops of sweat running down their faces and the weapons in their hands were slowly trembling. However, although they were worried, none of them thought of retreating.

If they retreated, the gates that were closed behind their backs would be destroyed and the death of countless NPCs would cause their country to become a global laughing stock. None of them were willing to let such a thing happen.

Moreover, remembering what happened thirty minutes ago and seeing that the player capable of killing an Emperor-grade boss of level twenty was still beside them preparing to fight, none of them believed even for a moment that they could fail!

-North Gate

The kill count at the north gate was also incredibly high at the end of the third wave. Although no boss appeared at the end, the number of players killed was approximately 400 thousand!

Yao Zenyu’s face was as cold as frost as he looked forward and prepared to fight. Although things had become much more complicated than he had first assumed, what he had to do did not change in any way.

Victory!

The defeat was not an option! He definitely could not allow the monsters to break through the walls!

HP: 1200

[Mad Bull -

(Skill):

Berserker (Passive): increases attack power by 20% and decrease defense by 30%.]

Only two types of monsters were what Yao Zenyu could see. All the monsters were either lizards the size of a Doberman dog in real life and their legs were almost as thick as a grown man’s legs, and bulls that were approximately two meters tall and as big as two cows put together.

"Damn!" Yao Zenyu couldn’t help but growl. "How the hell do they want level 11 players to fight so many level 15 monsters? This is bullshit!"

Yao Zenyu couldn’t understand the way the developers of this mission thought. It was they themselves who designed Samsara Online to be an extremely difficult virtual reality game in which players usually had to fight against lower level monsters or a monster of the same level. But now, they were sending monster after monster and wave after wave of high level beasts!

No matter which way one looked at it, it made no sense at all!

"No matter what but I swear that when this is all over, regardless of the outcome, I will definitely pressure the person in charge of all this if the rest of the countries received a simpler mission than China!" Yao Zenyu sware as he clenched his teeth and charged towards the incoming army of monsters preparing to suffer disastrous losses.

However...

Bang!

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Football-sized rocks enveloped in crimson fire fell from the sky like meteors descending from outer space in an apocalypse movie.

-2600

-2451

-2568

-2643

-2587

...

All the players who were charging forward determined to fight to the death stopped their steps abruptly, some of them even fell to the ground, but they all ignored it. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the scene in front of them without being able to believe their eyes.

A vast area over 2000 meters long and wide had now become a raging sea of fire. The flames were burning violently and four-digit damage figures were ascending into the sky without stopping.

ROAR!

The monsters affected by the area surrounded by fire roared in pain before falling to the ground dead and only those lucky enough to be on the far sides or not yet entered the area where the meteors fell managed to survive.

Yao Zenyu suddenly seemed to think of something and turned his body quickly to look behind him.

A person was standing alone on a big rock. Her hair was crimson red, brilliant like a ruby. Her eyes were as red as the flames that burned furiously and claimed the lives of all the beasts in the sea of fire.

The person standing away from the rest of the players wore a dark black wizard’s robe with small golden details adorning it. At the same time, a simple white magic staff with a small red rock embedded in the tip was in the small hand of the silhouette.

Who else could it be other than Yao Mei?

Yao Zenyu finally sighed with relief and joy. At the same time, he was surprised by his little sister’s magical attack power. Even Yao Zenyu did not expect such a thing.

Unconsciously, Yao Zenyu thought: ’Wouldn’t Shiva be killed in a matter of seconds if he is hit by that attack?’

Considering the range of about 2 kilometers and the high damage of the attack, Yao Zenyu was sure that even a monster at Shiva’s level could only die obediently. After all, what was the use of dodging if he could not leave the area of effect?

While Yao Zenyu was lost in thought, Yao Mei just looked at the sea of fire with a calm gaze. Her eyes reflected the burning flames and a strange emotion flashed in them.
