Chapter 396: Chapter 382: Unyielding (Second Update) Chapter 396: Chapter 382: Unyielding (Second Update) “The registration for the squad under the ‘Beheading Plan’ is still open! Anyone interested, raise your hands!” Director Silver shouted in the stronghold at that moment, prompting every player inside to raise their hands.

Qi Junzi naturally raised his hand. Beside him, Feng Yi bit his lip and, despite the risk of being reprimanded by his club owner, raised his hand because his mother had given a firm order that he must secure the school district housing reward.

Zhao Mingwei also wanted to raise his hand with everyone else, but suddenly his left arm throbbed with pain and a feeling of weakness overwhelmed him, causing his knees to buckle…

“Master!”

“Captain?”

Yelena, who had been hiding quietly to the side without speaking, and Qi Junzi, who had been chatting happily just moments ago, both moved to help Zhao Mingwei.

But Zhao Mingwei’s right hand was resting on a knight made of mud.

“I asked the doctor, and he isn’t willing to issue you a discharge certificate. Your condition really doesn’t permit it,” Jiang Qiao, controlling his earth spirit, supported Zhao Mingwei to prevent him from falling to the ground.

“Captain, you clearly said you were already discharged?” Qi Junzi, hearing Jiang Qiao’s words, started losing control of his voice.

“I’m still in good condition, participating in the Heichao Island event won’t be a problem,” Zhao Mingwei said.

“Captain!”

Just as Qi Junzi was about to say something else, Director Silver walked up to Zhao Mingwei.

“Player Zhao, we actually have enough members for this beheading mission. To put it bluntly, even if you joined, it would have minimal impact on the battle at Heichao Island,” Director Silver said.

“But wouldn’t my joining at least increase our chances of winning?” Zhao Mingwei knew his own physical condition.

“Captain, if you really want the house, I can give you the reward! But you must rest while you’re injured!”

At that moment, Qi Junzi spoke up, silencing the surrounding players with a statement that made Yelena next to him blush with embarrassment.

“I still want to participate,” Zhao Mingwei said.

“Why? Surely the game ‘Sacred Spirit’ isn’t so fun that you’d risk aggravating your injuries to play an instance?” Qi Junzi shouted, his emotions stirring.

Just then, Mo Shigui suddenly raised his hand to block between Zhao Mingwei and Qi Junzi.

“Because we might not win this decisive battle at Heichao Island,” Mo Shigui said, glancing back at the silent Zhao Mingwei.

“Judging by our recent instance runs, with the Magic Thieves and their dragon armies on Heichao Island, even if the eight major guilds unite with other player guilds and all the max-level players of Sacred Spirit, it still might not guarantee a victory in this decisive battle at Heichao Island, so we must give it our all. Mingwei is an indispensable part of our fighting strength,” he explained.

“Can’t we just fight again next time if we lose?” Qi Junzi asked, sharing the same confusion as Feng Yi earlier.

“There might not be a next time, Player Qi Junzi… As Coach Song said, this time we must give it our all.”

Director Silver then joined the conversation, but as everyone’s gaze fell on him, he paused for a moment as if searching for the right words.

However, before he could speak, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from outside the stronghold, sending the atmosphere within to a state of heightened battle readiness.

“Captain!” Qi Junzi watched helplessly as Zhao Mingwei cast ‘Wind Breath’ on himself and rushed out of the stronghold.

……

Zhao Mingwei was actually the first person contacted for this beheading strategy by President Yin.

Because President Yin knew that Zhao Mingwei was currently the strongest player in the Holy Spirit, there was a saying in the professional circle, “You can always trust Zhao Mingwei.”

In the final match on the battlefield… Zhao Mingwei was the most reliable support for his teammates, the one who always could turn the game around, the “miracle Mr.”

In instance walkthroughs, Zhao Mingwei was the best at dealing damage, the ‘King of the Battlefield’ who could take control of the fight once he found the BOSS’s weaknesses.

During his time with the Junlin team, Zhao Mingwei could feel that his team members were relying on him for victory. After playing Holy Spirit, President Yin also wanted to rely on Zhao Mingwei to ensure the success of this beheading strategy!

Everyone was relying on him, and Zhao Mingwei deserved it all, but the pressure…

Zhao Mingwei, who had always treated Holy Spirit as a “game,” had recently felt tremendous pressure.

But he had to bear everyone’s trust, because he was the strongest in Holy Spirit… All the professional players from the eight major guilds thought this, and even he himself thought this.

The final battle on Black Tide Island was a battle that couldn’t afford to lose, so he had to participate and he had to win!

If he were to lose, who else could win? If he failed, who else could succeed?

When this thought emerged in Zhao Mingwei’s mind, the deafening thunder that the entire island could hear… The owner of the voice appeared in front of Zhao Mingwei.

Lion Heart Knight? Why did he appear here…

Zhao Mingwei activated the state of “Dragon and Tiger Roar” and was about to test this wild Lion Heart Knight, when another thunderclap exploded right above Zhao Mingwei. He easily dodged the lightning strike with a backward leap.

But what came at him face-to-face was a long spear… During the backward leap, Zhao Mingwei stepped on the long spear to leap back again, but behind him, a masked figure appeared.

Hostile?

Zhao Mingwei tried to wave his hand to attack, but pain from his left arm made his movements completely stiff, causing him to make a serious mistake and fall from mid-air.

At that moment, Zhao Mingwei lay straight down in the middle of the forest, and when he tried to stand up using his right arm… A strange figure appeared beside him.

Who? Zhao Mingwei turned his head in surprise, only to find a figure clad in wolf knight armor.

A player? No… That’s the BOSS’s health bar!

‘Wolf Knight, LV61, Lord class creature, Health 5122111/5122111’

Why would the Boss of the War of the Gods appear here? Zhao Mingwei was stunned for a moment, when a familiar voice and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

The Lion Heart Knight, clad in golden armor, appeared in front of Zhao Mingwei.

“Holy Spirit, you are still so strong,” said the Lion Heart Knight, holding his dragon-hunting lance and watching Zhao Mingwei from afar.

Zhao Mingwei clenched his right fist, wanting to fight back subconsciously, but beside Lion Heart Knight, the figures of Wasp Knight, axe-wielding man, and Hawkeye Knight successively appeared.

Just at this time?

“You still want to fight us in this state?” The blood bar above Lion Heart Knight’s head was a crimson color, indicating a hostile status, the other four knights likewise in a hostile status as enemies.

So, to Zhao Mingwei, the five knights were now bosses.
