Chapter 620 The Terrifying Power of Darkness

After Aether Wing's main team left Raven Ruins, word spread quickly.

When it came to which guild in Silvervale City was most likely to claim the first clear of Raven Ruins, it was undoubtedly the Guild of Aether Wing. Not only did Aether Wing have extremely well-equipped teams, but they also had many skilled players. Next in line were Smile Over Ruins and other guilds, especially the recently risen Sky Burial guild, whose progress was just a bit slower than Aether Wing and Smile Over Ruins.

"Leader, it looks like everyone from Aether Wing has left," a level 28 gray-clothed Ranger reported to a young man in white robes.

"We're at the critical moment of clearing the dungeon, and Aether Wing is giving up now?" The white-robed youth pondered, puzzled by Aether Wing's actions.

"Leader, I bet Aether Wing knows they can't clear it, so they gave up," a glamorous woman in a low-cut crimson and red robe laughed lightly. "Everyone says Aether Wing is full of experts, but now it seems they're nothing special. Even though we at Sky Burial started tackling Raven Ruins so much later, we've still caught up to Aether Wing's boss progress and reached the third phase of the final boss. Once we get more familiar with the boss's third phase, we might even surpass the Guild of Aether Wing today and become the first guild in Silvervale City to reach the fourth phase of the final boss."

Hearing the glamorous woman say this, everyone on the team looked proud.

"Leader, don't worry about the Guild of Aether Wing. We're all experts hired by the company. Aether Wing just got to Silvervale City a few days before us. If we'd come earlier, who knows who'd be the top dog in Silvervale City," a level 28 Shield Warrior with an imposing build and tall stature laughed.

Though they were a new guild, their backing was far stronger than Smile Over Ruins.

Their company had spent big money to recruit many famous experts from the virtual gaming world. Among them, the main team leader Flame Blood was one of the top ten newcomers in the previous virtual gaming world, a player who had once dominated a major virtual game. Now leading so many experts to Silvervale City, if they still couldn't surpass a Silvervale City guild like the Guild of Aether Wing, then all their years playing virtual games would have been for nothing.

"Indeed, no matter what Aether Wing does, we'll definitely claim this first clear of Raven Ruins," the white-robed youth Flame Blood laughed heartily. "Wait a bit longer, Ghost Shadow and the others will arrive soon. Then our Sky Burial guild can take down Raven Ruins in one go."

Hearing Ghost Shadow mentioned, everyone's eyes filled with awe.

Ghost Shadow Studio could be called a top-tier gaming studio in the industry, having competed against super guilds in many virtual games. The core members all had exceptional abilities, and Ghost Shadow himself was even more famous than Ice Goddess Isabella and Stellar Alliance's president Galaxy Past.

Just two days ago, the company finally acquired Ghost Shadow Studio, bringing all of Ghost Shadow Studio's members into the Sky Burial guild, greatly increasing Sky Burial's strength and giving them the confidence to surpass Aether Wing.

Besides Sky Burial, Smile Over Ruins was also fully prepared. Somehow, GrayWolf Skyborne, who should have been in Maple City, had come to Silvervale City, accompanied by a group of intimidating experts. If Eric were here, he'd be shocked - the top fighters from Devouring Serpents had all come here.

Among them, the gifted Flying Serpent was completely different from before. Not only had he reached level 29, but he also carried two blue longswords of unclear quality on his back. These two swords had matching designs and colors, clearly a set.

"GrayWolf Skyborne, now that Aether Wing has given up and left, it's up to you guys," Ethan said respectfully to GrayWolf Skyborne.

After several failures, Ethan's status in The Stygian Alliance had dropped considerably, but he still wouldn't give up. As long as Smile Over Ruins could be the first in Silvervale City to claim the first clear of Raven Ruins, he'd still have a chance. That's why he specially invited GrayWolf Skyborne and others to help.

"Mr. Potter, rest assured. Divine Realms: Legends is ultimately not a one-person game. No matter how good BlackFlame is, his help in large team dungeons is limited. With GrayWolf Skyborne taking action, plus all us experts, the first clear of Raven Ruins is in the bag," an Elementalist nearby said confidently.

GrayWolf Skyborne just nodded silently.

Now that Divine Realms: Legends had evolved for the third time, the powers behind the major guilds valued Divine Realms: Legends experts even more. GrayWolf Skyborne's exceptional abilities had caused his status in The Stygian Alliance to rise sharply. Not only did they provide various resources, but they also used the major guilds controlled by The Stygian Alliance to equip GrayWolf Skyborne and others. Their equipment was not much worse than Aether Wing's main team members.

Just as Smile Over Ruins and Sky Burial began their full assault on Raven Ruins, the Guild of Aether Wing headquarters in Silvervale City had exploded with excitement.

"President, you're finally willing to take us into the dungeon. I can't wait to see the faces of those bastards from Smile Over Ruins," Cola laughed.

"Last time the president said he'd take us into the dungeon, and now it's finally happening," Shield Warrior Evan Hotcher also laughed.

Everyone had witnessed the Guild of Aether Wing's strength, but guild strength wasn't just about combat - large dungeon clears were also very important. Once they claimed the first clear of Raven Ruins, they'd truly secure their position as Silvervale City's top guild. Otherwise, other guilds would keep trying to rise up and knock Aether Wing down.

But compared to Silvervale City's top position, what everyone really looked forward to was Eric personally leading them through a large dungeon. That way they could learn more and greatly improve themselves.

Soon, the conference room doors swung open, and Eric slowly walked in. Eric had already used the Demon Mask to transform into BlackFlame's appearance. Though his looks hadn't changed, the aura he radiated was stronger than before.

Everyone was secretly shocked.

The original Eric had a restrained aura, like an ordinary person, but after multiple extreme challenges that improved his abilities, his strength far exceeded what it once was. To completely restrain it would take some time.

"I called you back this time to inform you of something - you could say it's Aether Wing's core secret," Eric said, sitting on the guild leader's throne at the head of the room, glancing at everyone.

Hearing it was a core secret, everyone immediately quieted down.

"Just talking about it won't help. Let me show you first," Eric smiled faintly, his gaze moving to Berserker Sword Shadow. "Sword Shadow, come here."

Sword Shadow practically worshipped Eric. Ever since the teleportation hall battle, Sword Shadow had become obsessed with Eric's combat techniques, constantly studying videos trying to learn even a fraction of them.

Hearing Eric call him, even the normally calm Sword Shadow couldn't help getting excited and immediately walked to Eric.

Eric extended his hand, and a palm-sized black sphere condensed in it. The center of the sphere was like a small universe, infinitely deep and mesmerizing.

With a flick of his finger, Eric sent the black sphere into Sword Shadow's body.

After the black sphere fully merged into Sword Shadow's body, his entire temperament changed, radiating an astonishing aura like a magical beast.

"This is..."

Sword Shadow looked at himself in shock. He had never experienced such powerful strength before.

If even Sword Shadow was like this, the others with their sharp senses were even more affected.

"So strong!" Flame Dancer looked at Sword Shadow, vaguely feeling a sense of crisis.
