Jane and Hero, who were surrounded, easily jumped out of the encirclement and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. This made Ma and his gang sneer, thinking that in such a small group, there were cowards who fled from the fight. But was this not good for them? With fewer opponents, it would be even easier to crush them.
"It seems your group has cowards. Even if you beg for mercy, don't expect to get any because that chance is long gone!"
Ma shouted with a mocking tone. He felt there was no need to worry about such a small group of players. Soon, these arrogant players would be begging for mercy from him, the leader of the number one guild unit on Aseana Island.
"We'll see about that!"
Chang Long replied seriously, without any fear. However, her cute little voice and slight speech impediment nearly made her friends who were ready for the fight burst into laughter.
Jane and Hero, having run from the group, split up to find tall buildings suitable for sniping that provided a view of the central square from all directions. They needed to be at least five hundred meters away to avoid revealing their positions.
Jane chose a tall building to the south, a nearly fifteen-meter-high traditional Chinese tower. Hero went north and found a six-story restaurant with an ideal sniping spot.
Chang Long, knowing that her three-year-old body would not be much help in a fight, walked out of the combat zone. No one stopped her, thinking she was just a mouthy child.
'Davy-chan, can I ask you something?'
Chang Long inquired, addressing the invisible Davy-chan beside her, along with Hisa-chan.
'What is it!'
Davy-chan responded and looked at Chang Long, curious about what weird idea the little girl was thinking.
'I once had the Reaper possess others...'
Chang Long began, but Davy-chan immediately interrupted.
'Don't tell me you want me and Hisa-chan to...'
'Uh-huh. Because even if I let you guys possess me, I can't do anything anyway. So, I wondered if it would work the same with you two,'
Chang Long said cheerfully.
'It wouldn't hurt to try, right?'
Hisa-chan said with a smile, the samurai spirit was always eager to help his young master.
'But I don't know if they can resist the possession,'
'No way! These people are all lower level than us. There's no way they can resist us with higher levels,'
Davy-chan assured confidently, more intrigued in Chang Long's theory.
'U-huh, let's hope they don't die horribly like those possessed by Reapers,'
Chang Long nodded, still a bit concerned. She looked around for suitable targets and then pointed at two chosen ones, calling Davy-chan and Hisa-chan to possess them. Fortunately, she did not need to use her voice to call out the skill name, or this tactic would undoubtedly end up the same way it did when she tried to use skills from the Eye of Fire.
A chilling aura emanated from the bodies of the two Dark Horse Guild members, accompanied by their agonizing screams as Davy-chan and Hisa-chan took control. Their guildmates and Chang Long's group were shocked by this phenomenon. They initially thought there were shamans among the enemy, but seeing Chang Long smiling at those two players, they felt relieved.
"What the hell!"
Ma shouted, watching as his two subordinates transformed into a solemn samurai and a sinister long-haired man. Both figures grinned and drew their weapons, attacking the Dark Horse Guild members, who scattered in confusion.
"This is just a warm-up!"
Draco sneered, watching Ma fume with anger.
"Attack them. Forget waiting for reinforcements. We can't let this insult to the Dark Horse Guild go unpunished!"
Ma shouted in fury. His subordinates, though uncertain of their chances, prioritized the guild's honor above all.
The players who had suffered from the chaos from Chang Long's group as they were chasing the human ginseng quickly withdrew from the fight, realizing it was not worth the trouble. They stepped back to watch from a distance, ensuring they would not get caught in the crossfire.
"Chaaaarge!"
The members of the Dark Horse Guild shouted to motivate themselves and their comrades, charging at Chang Long's group with weapons in hand like a swarm of bees crowding by the nectar. However, instead of fear, everyone, except for Kimhant, stood ready with excitement, relishing the upcoming brawl!
Thud! Thud!
'Darn... this body only lasted 30 seconds. How frustrating,'
Davy-chan grumbled as the player he had possessed collapsed, convulsing violently with foam at the mouth from severe muscle damage.
'Mine lasted only 10 seconds...'
Hisa-chan complained, equally frustrated.
"Hey, missy. Pick someone with a higher level next time so we can possess them longer,"
Davy-chan told Chang Long, who was fervently cheering for her friends.
'You said that none of these guys are above level forty-five, except for the leader who's over fifty. Where am I supposed to find high-level players here?'
Chang Long retorted.
'Actually, it looks like we won't need to intervene anymore. Look, your friends are chasing them away,'
Hisa-chan observed, noting how Ma's group had dwindled to less than ten, all of whom were visibly shocked by the group's prowess. They were being overwhelmed by the combined attacks of the dragon, Kitsune, Peach Blossom, and mysterious long-range strikes, leaving many of them dead with a small hole in the middle of their heads, all without being able to pinpoint the source.
'You might want to take that back. We're being surrounded from all sides!'
Davy-chan warned, his face showing concern.
'Are there any high-level players among them?'
Chang Long asked, unfazed by the impending danger.
'Yes, why?'
Davy-chan replied, puzzled.
'You said you wanted to have fun for a bit longer,'
Chang Long giggled, causing Davy-chan and Hisa-chan to smile. They were eager to showcase their skills again after their oh-so-unsatisfying first round.
"I should call out Hulu, but... damn! I can't even speak clearly,"
Chang Long pondered, considering unsealing Hulu to aid her friends. She rubbed her temples in frustration, knowing she might mispronounce it as Hulu due to her lingering speech impediment, even though the curse's effects had lessened there were still some words that she could not pronounce clearly, no matter what.
'Why not summon your sword? It can fly,'
Davy-chan suggested, recalling how the Sovereign Sword had responded to her call and flown back to Chang Long when it fell off a cliff. Even though he was not sure how useful it would be for Chang Long to hold the sword in her state.
'Good idea,'
Hisa-chan agreed. Meanwhile, Siegfried and the others seemed to receive a message from Hero about a large group of Dark Horse Guild players coming to reinforce Ma.
'But can I call it right?'
Chang Long asked, slightly disheartened by her difficulties.
'Give it a try. It's not a skill, as long as your weapon recognizes its owner. It will follow your command no matter how you call it,'
Davy-chan encouraged, with Hisa-chan nodding in agreement.
"Alright, come here, Sovereign Sword!"
Chang Long called out loudly. The Sovereign Sword, which was sheathed at Kitsune's side, began to vibrate slightly before flapping its wings and flying to hover in front of Chang Long, much to everyone's amazement.
"Awesome! Your sword is incredible, Master."
Kimhant exclaimed in awe. He wanted to take a picture but was too busy fending off Dark Horse Guild players, who did not give him more than two seconds of respite.
"Now this is getting interesting,"
Chang Long said, looking at the Sovereign Sword with satisfaction as the Dark Horse Guild army surrounded them.
"This ends now. No matter how skilled you are, you can't defeat so many of us!"
Ma shouted triumphantly as more reinforcements surrounded Siegfried's group, tripling their initial numbers.
"We'll see who ends up finished!"
Siegfried retorted confidently, standing tall exuding an air of superiority. No matter how many people showed up, they would not be able to scare them into running away. His steadfastness boosted his friends' morale. Despite being outnumbered, they knew they had superior skills.
"Tch! Keep acting tough. I'll warn you. Even if you beg for your lives, I'll make sure you die in the most painful way possible. Kill them!"
Ma bellowed, and over fifty Dark Horse Guild members charged at Chang Long's group again...
The Sovereign Sword hovered before Chang Long, as if waiting for her command. The second wave of battle commenced between her group and over sixty Dark Horse Guild members. Chang Long had Davy-chan and Hisa-chan possess two players from Dark Horse Guild with the level of early fifties before concentrating on commanding the Sovereign Sword.
The sounds of battle echoed, drawing townsfolk and other players to watch. Some set up impromptu betting tables, predicting which side would win. Most players bet on the Dark Horse Guild, believing them to have a ninety percent chance of victory, while only ten percent believed in Chang Long's group, despite their fire dragon, giant tiger, fire-breathing man, strange loud attacks that could killed players from Dark Horse Guild, and self-fighting sword that scattered the Dark Horse Guild.
"Phew, controlling the sword with my mind is really exhausting!"
Chang Long grumbled after a while of controlling the Sovereign Sword with her mind, sweat pouring down her face from the effort.
'Missy, this body is done. Find me a new one,'
Davy-chan said. Chang Long rolled her eyes in exasperation. She had only just let Davy-chan possess someone, but he lasted only forty-five seconds. As she looked to Hisa-chan, she found that he was also smiling sheepishly at her.
'Mine knocked out after just 35 seconds...'
Hisa-chan admitted, smiling.
"Hey... Come back here, Sovereign Sword!"
Chang Long called, summoning the Sovereign Sword back. She found that controlling it mentally took a lot of concentration and physical strength. She was too exhausted to wield it any longer. She then had Davy-chan and Hisa-chan possess two more Dark Horse Guild players she had eyed.
"This won't do. What should I do to join the fight with everyone else...?"
Chang Long muttered quietly, taking a drink from her water bottle. Though her friends were high-level and skilled in combat, they were not fighting programed beasts. They were fighting other skilled players who could adapt their strategies to the situation. Their levels were only five level apart from Kimhant, who had the lowest level in the group. Moreover, the enemy numbers were ten times more than her group, putting the group in a precarious position.
'Missy!'
Davy-chan shouted. Chang Long did not need more explanation; she knew the possessed bodies had collapsed again. She had Davy-chan and Hisa-chan possess two more Dark Horse Guild players, as if reading their minds.
"By the way... I'm out of my dark roast tea. I need to find time to make some more..."
Chang Long said, rummaging through her bag for something useful. She found a wooden box given to her by Miracle Doctor Zhang Yijie and remembered it contained Shape-shifting Pills.
Head Ma and his Dark Horse Guild subordinates were astounded by the abilities of the group before them. Despite being surrounded by a skilled force, this group stood their ground without showing any sign of faltering. Besides their impressive skills, the group had rare monsters like a fire dragon and many strange abilities. There was also a woman with long, jet-black hair who had an alluring charm, easily ensnaring many Dark Horse Guild members who were then swiftly dispatched. Not to mention the two mysterious men who appeared and disappeared like phantoms, and the loud bangs that were followed by their members inexplicably dropping dead.
"What the hell is going on? We've lost over twenty of our sixty men already!"
Ma exclaimed in shock as he watched his subordinates fall like leaves.
"Demons! They must be demons! Even surrounded like this, they show no signs of being at a disadvantage!"
One of the Dark Horse Guild members shouted in panic.
"Call for Unit Two..."
Ma ordered his subordinates in a calm tone.
"Huh! Head Ma, you're calling in Unit Two?"
His subordinate asked, astonished.
"Yes, we need to restore the honor of the Dark Horse Guild by crushing them completely!"
Ma roared in fury, a side of him his subordinates had never seen before. He charged at the enemy group again, only to be met with the scorching flames of Firetail, forcing him to retreat quickly.
