Sacred Souls: Genesis
Chapter 320 - Chapter 320 Chapter 309 I Cant Do It (First Update)

Chapter 320: Chapter 309 I Can’t Do It! (First Update) Chapter 320: Chapter 309 I Can’t Do It! (First Update) Mo Shigui now felt like he was commanding not an instance boss fight, but a team PK battle! And it was at a professional level!

At this moment, Mo Shigui could feel that the combat AI of this group of Magic Thieves was terrifyingly high… at least comparable to Denghis Xisi, the leader of the Magic Thieves on Biland Island.

Unlike the Magic Thieves on Biland Island, who would fight the saints to the death, the Magic Thieves on Black Tide Island were cunning like players, immediately escaping the player’s attack range once they were surrounded and severely injured, never engaging in prolonged combat!

This gave Mo Shigui the illusion that he was in a PvP rather than PvE battle.

But Mo Shigui was also adept at team PvP battles, having been in the profession for many years. Even though he was retired, his role as a coach showed that his command and analytical skills were recognized by top players.

However, Mo Shigui’s commands were effective only on the premise that both sides had relatively balanced game statistics!

These Magic Thieves were cheating! They not only activated hacks that gave them ten times the health of regular players but also could summon five or six lord-level dragons to aid them in battle, and worst of all, one of the Magic Thieves possessed several players’ professional skills.

This greatly increased Mo Shigui’s calculations, and with all the players on the battlefield gathering here, his surroundings were chaotic like a marketplace.

The Dynamic Nucleus fell into chaos and lost its target, but the Magic Thieves hadn’t… because every player on the battlefield was their target.

“Having too many friends… sometimes isn’t a good thing.”

A voice rang out again beside Mo Shigui’s ear, he raised his shield to block just in time as the attacking Magic Thief Medes only managed to strike his shield once before slipping back into the shadows.

But this time, Magic Thief Medes did not succeed, as he was about to disappear into the shadows, a fishing hook suddenly pierced through his chest from nowhere.

“The sea will remember your scent!”

Drake, a named NPC from the Planar Pirate faction, held the other side of the fishing hook and with a sudden exertion of force, the Magic Thief Medes, who had slipped into the shadows, was abruptly pulled back by Drake’s hook.

“Apply the control skills!”

Mo Shigui seized the opportunity and shouted to the control strategy team beside him.

In the team, there was also a top player named Silver. The Street Fighter profession was rare among players with half of its skills being control-related, but when Silver took the chance to hit Medes in the head with a brick… it did not stun him.

Undeterred, Silver took a gold brick from his bag and smacked it on Medes’ head, and the stun mark instantly appeared on the lord Magic Thief.

“Finally controlled him! I thought the stun chance on this brick was fake!” Silver’s excitement did not last long as the stun mark on Medes appeared for less than 0.3 seconds, and then… Medes used his traditional skill, calling for dragon daddy’s help.

A Thorny Dragon descended from the sky to protect Medes, and all the attack skills released by the Dynamic Nucleus members fell upon the Thorny Dragon.

The Thorny Dragon, enraged, flapped its wings and directly flew into the sky with the Magic Thief Medes in its claws.

“Is this boss too cheeky or what?”

“President…”

“Holy Spirits, prepare for the next wave of attack. The tides of the ocean will sweep over him for the second time, but whether he can be swallowed or not depends on you,”

Drake was holding a harpoon dagger that radiated a deep blue light, and his pupils likewise overflowed with deep blue marks.

“All members… prepare for awakening.” Mo Shigui noticed a deep blue mark on the ground where Medes was fleeing, which began to surge continuously like a suppressed fountain.

The irate members of Nucleus Jumpers, tormented by Medes’s shameless tactics, had under Mo Shigui’s command made ready to unleash their awakening.

“Return Tide,” Drake whispered, and a torrent surged over Medes, who thought he had escaped to safety, engulfing him.

The next second, a fountain burst forth from the azure mark on the ground, and Medes reappeared above the mark.

When he was pulled back to the spot by Drake’s power, he was greeted by an entire guild… or rather, a mass focus fire of Holy Spirits’ awakening.

In an instant, the effects of the skills were so dazzling that Mo Shigui could barely keep his eyes open. Several hits exceeding ten thousand damage emerged above Medes’s head, who had already lost two-thirds of his health during his entanglement with Nucleus Jumpers.

This massive awakening show instantly killed the cunning Magic Thief!

The moment the kill notification for Magic Thief Medes popped up, Mo Shigui’s Pirate Plain pirate faction’s Contribution Value instantly increased by 21 points, and a vast number of little lights erupted from Medes’s body.

This wasn’t the light of equipment bursting; it was the energy he had previously stolen from players being returned to the players themselves.

“Finally killed that tricky guy, Old Song… does this count as our map’s first kill?” Black Pot Boiled Meat was also aware of Mo Shigui’s predicament.

The Magic Thief from this Black Tide Island… or rather, wild monster truly broadened his horizon. Magic Thief Medes’s combat skill matched his own, and the most disgusting part was that this guy was cheating.

However, Mo Shigui’s expression did not improve a bit even after eliminating Medes.

“Drake, can you still track that Magic Thief’s trail?”

Mo Shigui looked down at his own palm, where two orbs of light had just entered his body. During the encounter with the Magic Thieves on Pirate Plain, Mo Shigui was killed three times by Magic Thief Medes, but he only retrieved two portions of his power; the first portion stolen by Medes… wasn’t retrieved.

“He is still alive, Holy Spirits.”

Drake was not like Mrs. Calamity leading the Holy Spirits through the map during the city defense battle; he had always been quietly observing the specific combat strengths of various guilds and individual Holy Spirits. Nucleus Jumpers did not disappoint… this was a Holy Spirit group with exceedingly strong combat discipline.

Thus, Derek must use any means necessary to protect Nucleus Jumpers and make them the sharpest spear of the pirates.

“Where?”

As Mo Shigui was talking to Derek… his dialogue window had already popped up with several lines that required a certain reputation level to inquire about.

His reputation as a Pirate Plain pirate had inexplicably reached seventy-two, rated as friendly… he just needed to brush up to eighty for admiration, then a hundred for worship.

But even with just a friendly reputation, Mo Shigui was able to inquire Derek about the specific location of Magic Thieves.

“I know you are anxious, but let’s discuss this matter further after eliminating those Abyss Mutants.”

Drake shifted his gaze to the other side of the battlefield. The goal of the Magic Thieves was to snatch the “free extra milk,” but that was only if they could manage to do so amid the chaotic battle conditions.

The death of Magic Thief Medes had made the other Magic Thieves aware of the difficulty posed by the saints, prompting their decision to retreat, leaving behind only a horde of Abyss Mutants and lord-level dragons to stall the saints.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the one who shone the brightest was their Pirate Queen, Lady Calamity.

Mo Shigui scanned the battlefield. The area where Lady Calamity was located had the most concentrations of Abyss Mutants. He wiped the nonexistent blood from his longsword and led the members of the Dynamic Nucleus toward the area where Lady Calamity was.

……

The Magic Thieves retreated… Lady Calamity, watching the saints’ tombstones decrease on the battlefield, realized this.

The plane pirates managed to defend Pirate City with the help of the saints!

This was heartening news, but what angered Lady Calamity was the increasing number of saints gathering around the goddess of beauty.

The goddess’s combat prowess was nowhere near as outstanding as Lady Calamity’s; she was not a goddess skilled in battle. Yet, by sticking close to the goddess, players could receive a continuous health-regeneration BUFF.

This BUFF attracted many players who preferred manually running maps over just following beside an NPC.

Lady Calamity had not noticed this. In her eyes, the saints who should have been following her into battle had all been deceived by that damned woman’s sweet nothings.

With the Abyss Mutants now gradually decreasing in number, if not for her team members holding her back, Lady Calamity might have gone directly over to smash that woman’s face in.

“That brave warrior!”

The duty of the goddess of beauty on the battlefield was the same as Drake’s, that was, to find saints with talent and strong combat abilities to join the pantheon alliance.

However, the goddess was now dragging every saint she could find, most male players becoming unable to move past her attractive figure.

Jiang Qiao had to admit… the character of the goddess of beauty was indeed stunningly beautiful; if this truly was game modeling, then it must have been crafted by a highly aesthetic modeler over many years.

This beauty wasn’t just about her looks; her gestures, her smile, and her words precisely scratched an itchy spot in every player’s heart.

To put it simply, just chatting with her could make one feel the illusion of love at first sight, though it was fleeting. Yet, that was enough to make many players gather around the goddess, marveling.

Lady Calamity could endure all this until… the goddess of beauty approached Mo Shigui. Then, Lady Calamity really wanted to throw a barrel of explosives in that bitch’s face.

“Brave warrior, it seems you are worried about something?” the goddess of beauty said softly as she approached Mo Shigui, placing her hands behind her back and looking at him.

“Guild leader! This woman is a total bitch!”

Fuzzy Bunny, spotting the approaching goddess, immediately said to Mo Shigui over the voice channel.

“She’s an NPC.” Mo Shigui frowned slightly, even though he didn’t want to deal with this NPC, a dialogue box with the goddess had already popped up.

“NPCs can be bitches too, be careful. These kinds of women are the scariest,” Fuzzy Bunny said knowingly.

“…”

Mo Shigui extended a finger to click the ‘X’ on the dialogue box with the goddess, but the last option among the box’s four options caught his attention.

“I’m looking for a Magic Thief; do you have any way to help?” Mo Shigui asked directly.

“A Magic Thief, brave warrior… We would be delighted to assist you in finding that Magic Thief, but we need to return to our city. Would you… come along?”

The goddess’s voice made the fur on the ears of Fuzzy Bunny, standing behind Mo Shigui, bristle.

“Can you find him directly?” Mo Shigui now only wanted to kill Magic Thief Medes one more time. He didn’t really care which faction helped him find him.

Lady Calamity watched this scene from a distance when Drake’s figure appeared beside her.

“Do something,” Drake said in his deep voice.

“Do what? First, bring me a shipload of gunpowder barrels!” Lady Calamity had already ordered her team to bring the gunpowder barrels.

All she could do now was to throw the barrels at that woman’s face and then shoot at them.

“No, you know what you should do, my lady!” Drake lowered his voice, reminding Lady Calamity, “The saints are all watching.”

Lady Calamity turned her head and noticed that the Abyss Mutants on the Pirate Plain were also nearly gone, and the players were already gathering around the two faction leaders.

After this battle, many bystander players were seriously considering which faction they should join… The one that offered a continuous regeneration BUFF from the pantheon, or the one where they could breeze through maps with the plane pirates?

As for the breeding grounds… they were comfortably nested in their main city without any competitive intentions.

But now, the plane pirates had to compete with the pantheon… for the saints’ favor!

“What exactly are you implying?” the veins on Lady Calamity’s forehead were throbbing; she knew what Drake was hinting at, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to do that.

“Just like… this.” Derek mimicked a cat-paw gesture, a cute pose he had learned from the saints.

He would never dare do it himself… If he really did it, the player’s favorability for the plane pirate faction would probably drop by 100.

“What is this?!”

“Imitate a cat’s actions, and it’s best to add a cat’s meow. It works well; I saw a Miss Kitty do it once, and it was very effective.”

“????”

“My lady! This is for the future of all the pirates!” Drake said with fervent passion.
