“I think so, too.” Autumn-Moon agrees. “But how’re we gonna get out of this mess?”
“I have an idea.” Skyfrost chimes in.
You and Autumn-Moon listen intently, taking careful note of the roles you’ll be playing in this great escape. The first part of the plan, already in motion, will require some talking on the part of Skyfrost.
“Whitesteed!” Skyfrost calls boldly.
“Have you made your decision?”
“It’s not like we have a choice, do we? If we refuse now, we’ll be hunted wherever we go. That’s no way to play this game.”
“A wise decision, but…” Whitesteed pauses, descending towards the ground. “I have one more condition.”
“Speak.”
“Trade your items to me and commit suicide as a show of loyalty.” This is well within what you expected. There is no way Whitesteed will simply just invite the three of you into the Ebonwill Sect, then allow you to go free. That kind of thinking is just too naive. “Of course, you’ll receive them back after we handle some administrative matters.” He continues
“Very well.” Skyfrost steps forth, initiating a trade request with Whitesteed. “No objections from us.”
The moment the trade window is open, Skyfrost gives his signal. “Now!”
As your adrenaline filled hands flick your mouse, strong currents of wind gather at the edge of your dagger-axe before ultimately rushing towards Whitesteed with a fearsome howl. He’s pushed away a decent distance. The knockback is way more than you’ve ever seen before.
Dagger-axe skill: [Wave of Force]
“You!” Whitesteed growls uncharacteristically. “Kill them!”
Upon receiving the order, the surrounding Ebonwill players immediately rush into battle, however, their advances are abruptly interrupted as a powerful force sends them flying backwards in the wake of a resonant pipa chord.
Pipa skill: [Radial Push]
This creates large gaps in their formation from which you and Autumn-Moon dash through. Skyfrost follows shortly, erecting a large wall of ice while dodging Whitesteed’s attacks. This gives you more than enough time to leap onto your flying sword and jet towards the southern skies, in the direction of Wenduan city.
“Good job, boys!” Skyfrost cheers excitedly.
“We’ve made sworn enemies with the Ebonwill.” Autumn-Moon looks behind, Whitesteed frantically giving chase. He must be livid right now. “There’s no turning back from this anymore.”
“We were never on very good terms anyway.” You respond.
“Forget about that!” Skyfrost laughs, his avatar’s hair fluttering in the wind. “We’ll just crush whoever gets in our way!”
“You’re pretty happy today.” You comment.
“Of course! It’s been so long since I’ve had some fun like this.”
