Your questions are soon answered as a male character appears from the other side of the mountain. He floats freely in the air, unrestrained from the need to use a flying mount. You now understand Skyfrost’s hasty decision. Only Immortal Ascension players - those who stood at the peak of the game - could break the shackles of the earth and move oh so defiantly through the skies unaided. More frightening, however, was that, though all this took a while to describe, these moments passed in a matter of seconds. If you hesitated even an instant longer before your retreat, you might - no - would have been spotted.
Luckily, he doesn’t seem to have noticed you or Skyfrost’s presence, or perhaps he just decided you two were too trivial to be of any concern. Sticking your head out a bit, you manage to take a glance at his name, Autumn Moon (秋月白). It sounds oddly familiar to you for some reason.
He’s dressed in a garb of aureate cloth, clearly of high value from their appearance. Yet, this pales in comparison to his ornate pipa, made almost entirely from some sort of white wood. The Penghou spirit, unable to appreciate any of this beauty, doesn’t take too kindly his arrival and promptly pounces at him with a deafening growl.
“Phew, that was close.” Skyfrost sighs with relief, taking a look at the fierce battle between man and beast. “He’s pretty good.”
You wipe your palms, now rife with sweat, with some tissues. “What do we do?”
“Heh, I didn’t expect this, if you have any suggestions, do tell.”
What do you suggest?
>”Why don't we assist him?” Perhaps cooperation will be the most optimal strategy. It’ll be much safer for both parties if you can down the Penghou boss faster. >”Let’s stay and watch.” There’s no way the two other Immortal Ascension players present will ignore the arrival of a third.>”Let’s retreat.” You don’t want to risk a needless death, especially with all the spoils of battle you’ve looted so far.>Write in.
