Chapter 44: Darkness Descends (XIII)

For Rod, for the Canaries, even if they were once the dominant players in the game, this time is a headache. If nothing else, Irene's identity alone was enough to make them feel embarrassed. If it's an ordinary Night Wurm, then Canary and Little Bubblegum can also use their own means to repel it, but in the face of Irene——— how do you fight it?

The other party is the princess of the Night Country, and it would be really troublesome to be crippled, ruined, or killed, and Rhodes has no doubt that if he really dares to do this, it will be a rhythm of death. He could guarantee that the Dark Dragon would definitely rush straight over and then completely wipe out his little broken fortress. Don't look at Rod's shouting, he doesn't have enough players to help him with this damn mess right now. Even if you invite Lydia out——— will you be the Four Demon Generals and eat dry food?

Another way is to grit your teeth, and then find a way to imprison Her Royal Highness the princess here, and then use her as a hostage to force the Night Kingdom to stop attacking, and sign an armistice agreement with Moon, the longer the better, and then pass the notarization of the French Country......... That way, at least Rhodes wouldn't have to face imminent danger, but he was sure that he would be dead after that, and it would be hellish if the Dark Dragon could endure it. But at least this way Rhodes still has time to increase the level, if he can raise to the full level before the armistice expires, and then brush up the level of the heart of Bilan, then with a little bubblegum and canary, and after the full level, the system can lift the phantom guard seal and add one more person, it should be no problem to form a group of five to clean up the dark dragon............ Well, probably, perhaps.

But............... Irene is so easy to catch?

Although she is the princess of the Night Country, it is completely different from the soft-footed shrimp that were caught by the Demon King in the legend of the knights on the Continent of Light and cried in the castle and waited for the rescue of the brave. In the game, there is even a saying among the players. That is, if the four demon generals are regarded as the four heavenly kings according to the old-fashioned plot, then Irene is the hidden fifth person.

In a country with an absolute monarchy, Irene, as the sister of the dark dragon Ion, is not involved in government affairs, and she does not have any positions such as generals. But her strength is definitely second to none among the four demon generals. In the middle of the game, there are almost no players who don't know the name of "Princess of the Moon" and "Head of March" Irene. In the game, Her Royal Highness is a rare terrifying being who has raised all her combat skills and magic to the legendary level. There have been many players who have been foolishly deceived by the title of "Moon Princess" of Irene, and thought she was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will and went deep into the country of night to attack her, and as a result, they were wiped out again and again. Even in the game, almost every player who clears the "Moonlight Castle" dungeon ends in a group annihilation. And those who managed to break through the Moonlight Castle were not for nothing, but none of them got Irene's first kill, because ......... They opened the dungeon when Irene's house was out.

And in addition to Irene's own terrifying strength, her own strong attributes are enough to make players staggered. After countless detailed investigations by thousands of players with death saves, Irene's attributes were revealed.

As the most powerful being under the Dark Dragon. Irene is even better than Lydia. Her rule power is the moon, which is why she is called the "Princess of the Moon", but not only that, Irene also has another nickname, that is, "the head of March".

She represents the supreme authority of the concept of the moon in the mortal world, and after embodying it, Irene's ability is even more terrifying——— she lives and dies with the moon, that is. As long as the moon is always high in the sky, then Irene will never be destroyed and killed. And that's not all. Her Royal Highness's own attribute power will also increase with the brightness of the moon. If it's a crescent moon, then her ability attributes will all be increased by 1 energy level. But if it's a full moon, then Irene's stats will be doubled and all special attributes with invalid debuffs will be added, and in the game, Irene's full moon state will even be immune to critical hits, backstabs, and non-frontal attacks. And. Any magic damage to Irene will be halved, and if it is dark magic, it will even be completely immune.

After figuring out Irene's attributes, the player almost wails all over the place, because the country of night is the land of eternal night, and the moon will never disappear from the night sky. This means that Irene is eternal and invincible in the Night Realm. The group of players who had planned to run to the Night Nation to kill her to show off their prowess now seemed to be completely dead.

Since then, groups of players have tried to lure Irene out of the Night Realm, attacking her under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, and they have almost succeeded. But what makes everyone despair is that Irene's moon attribute is not only effective in the land of eternal night——— as long as there is a moon in the sky, then her strength will not be weakened, and it is impossible to be killed. Then the only way is naturally to kill the most powerful existence under the dark dragon during the day, but Irene is not a fool, how can people obediently wait until the day to be beaten by players? Besides, even if she loses the attribute bonus of being the authority of the moon during the day, how can the legendary strength of the Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation be comparable to that of ordinary players? Not to mention that the other party is still a dragon species...............

The only fortunate thing is that the princess is most like a princess is her quiet and gentle, and Ireen is not the type who likes to fight. In fact, her title in the Night Realm is a court scholar in addition to the Princess, and according to the Night Nation players, this princess's hobby is art and history, and many of the Night Nation players have been commissioned by the princess to help her explore and find some ancient books and artworks and other things, and they will also get paid a lot of money for it. Therefore, among the players of the Night Kingdom, Irene's popularity is very high, almost the same as the feelings of the players of the Duchy of Moon towards Lydia. So much so that when the players of the Continent of Light formed a group to brush Irene, many players in the Night Realm spontaneously organized to protect their princess.

If you look at it from this point of view alone, Irene is still very much in line with the kind of "Her Royal Highness Princess" that players imagine in their minds.

The premise is to ignore her terrifying strength.

In the game, many players have discussed a problem, that is, why does Irene not lead soldiers to participate in the attack on the Continent of Light. Because Irene's own strength is very strong, and her Moon Authority is not limited by the Dragon Soul attribute. Therefore, unless it is to a place where the sun never sets, as long as it enters the night and the moon rises, no one can stop such an invincible existence. There have even been people who have worked with Lydia and Irene because their personalities are very similar. They all like beautiful art and appreciate it from a similar angle. Lydia is more outgoing. Loved gorgeous and elegant. Irene, on the other hand, is relatively reserved and not as luxurious as the archangel. And their abilities seem to be completely complementary——— Lydia is completely invincible in the light of the sun, and Irene is immortal in the light of the moon. If anyone can have both of them as subordinates, conquering this continent will be an easy matter.

But on the other hand, if the two of them fight when the sun and the moon rise together, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight until the end of the dark world.

Gossip is not mentioned.

Discussing this issue among the players, the final result was several results, and the players generally believed that the reason why Irene did not lead the army to fight. One reason for this has to do with the royal rule of the Night Nation. After Ion succeeded the Night Dragon Soul, he overhauled the ruling class of the Night Nation to a great extent and pledged to keep all power firmly in his hands. And Irene, as Ion's sister, is related to the royal family by blood, and she is also a woman. If you have too much power and status, it is likely to cause instability at the top. Another aspect is that Irene herself doesn't like war, and she doesn't have much attachment to the battle itself. Regardless of the many times the player has fought her, Irene's shot was entirely in self-defense, and she has never taken the initiative to attack anyone else.

In the game, Rhodes also didn't get Irene's first kill. Because his primary target is Ion the Dark Dragon, and Irene doesn't bother to care as long as he doesn't get in his way. However, Irene was not able to escape in the end. Although the Starlight Guild didn't make a move, she was still surrounded and killed by the members of the "Radiant Blade" guild after the protection of the dark dragon soul completely collapsed, and she also got a lot of good things because of it. And as Starlight's competitors, they inevitably have no intention of competing with Rhodes in doing so.

However, the guild was also in bad luck because of this, as mentioned before, Irene's status among the players of the Night Nation was quite like Lydia's status in the hearts of the players of the Duchy of Moon. Now that Irene's death is over, the "Blade of Radiance" guild, which bears the brunt of the attack, has suddenly become the target of Night Kingdom players. It's no wonder that they replaced Rhodes, who destroyed the Dark Dragon, to properly hold back the hatred of the Night Nation players. After all, in the player's opinion, the two countries are at war, and the dark dragon is bound to die. There is no way around this. But Her Royal Highness Princess Irene didn't provoke you, nor did she stand in your way, you still have to kill them all, it's really too deceitful, are we Night Nation players all eating dry food?

So the "Blade of Radiance" guild was finally in the limelight after a burst of suppression by the Night Country's player guild organization, although they also improved their strength a lot after obtaining Irene's spoils, but the so-called two fists are invincible to four hands, and a tiger can't stand the wolves, and was finally completely wiped out by the Night Country players, and even the guild was properly disbanded.

Rod didn't sympathize with the disappearance of the Blade of Radiance at all, not to mention anything else, just rushed at that group of bastards who were players in the country of light, and it was already very face-saving for Rhodes to turn around and kill them after cleaning up the dark dragon, since they were killing themselves, of course Rhodes didn't mind watching the fire on the other side.

But now, Rod can't watch the show so leisurely.

No matter how much Irene didn't like war, she would never be able to watch her army wiped out, and Rhodes was sure that if the moment of crisis came, Her Royal Highness would definitely join the battle, and even try to destroy the three statues of the Holy Maiden, if that was the case, it would be too much of a headache. The Holy Spear is very lethal to the undead, but Irene is not undead, and the Night Wurm is also a living creature, and the Holy Spear will hardly do any damage to her. Even if he could——— would Rhodes dare to hurt her?

Thinking of this, Rod felt a huge headache.

It's a real problem to solve. (To be continued......)
