Chapter 1 A Stunning Debut

As Silence of Three Months took the stage, cheers immediately erupted in the arena.

"Starting with the vice-commander of the Purgatory Legion, Miracle Guild really isn't holding back."

"I heard she's a hidden class, a Necromancer. The summoned skeletons have high magic resistance. That elementalist beauty from the Shura Team is in for a rough time."

"More than rough, it's a tragedy. Mages fear close combat, even elementalists. Necromancers can summon dozens of undead creatures. An elementalist can't win against an endless horde they can't damage. A melee class might have a chance, but Necromancers not only summon many undead but also have strong solo combat ability. They're an unsolvable hidden class in PK."

…

The audience was filled with high-level members of major guilds and expert players who possessed considerable information. They knew a lot about Silence of Three Months from the Purgatory Legion.

Silence of Three Months was not only the vice-commander of Miracle’s elite legion but also a hidden class, which was something all the major guilds cared about. They had investigated and understood the Necromancer's power.

As a top-tier hidden class, the Necromancer had no weaknesses and was strong in all aspects. PK against ordinary classes was pure bullying.

In the VIP box, Phoenix Rain's flawless face darkened when she saw the first match's combatant.

"Bringing out a secret weapon in the first match, Thousand Miles Without End is cautious indeed." Phoenix Rain frowned, looking at the dark gray gem staff in Silence of Three Months's hand on the stage.

She had seen Silence of Three Months holding a Blackwood Staff before, which she guessed was a top-tier Dark-Gold staff. But now, she had suddenly switched staves for the match, which was a huge no-no in PK.

After all, there were subtle differences between weapons. Players accustomed to one weapon couldn't perform optimally with an unfamiliar one.

Since she switched weapons now, there was only one possibility.

The staff in Silence of Three Months's hand was far superior to the previous one, undoubtedly an Epic-rank staff.

Moreover, Silence of Three Months had replaced more than just the staff, a total of two pieces of equipment. Combined with her position as the vice-commander of the Purgatory Legion, she should already possess at least one Epic item.

That meant Silence of Three Months had at least three Epic items…

Even Phoenix Rain, the Guild Leader of Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, couldn't help but feel a headache at this thought.

The power of Epic items wasn't just the significant boost to basic stats but more importantly, the skill effects they came with.

Although she didn't know how strong Half Summer倾城 was, she certainly couldn't match Silence of Three Months in terms of weapons and equipment.

And Silence of Three Months, as the vice-commander of the Purgatory Legion, had at least reached the Flowing Water Realm in combat, allowing her to predict the opponent's movements. Combined with the special class of Necromancer, she could fight even experts in the Vacuum Realm with comparable weapons and equipment.

Just as Phoenix Rain was feeling hopeless, Half Summer倾城 walked onto the stage.

Half Summer倾城 was wearing a black cloak that concealed her level and equipment, revealing only her face. Her stunning beauty amazed the audience, and her aura was in stark contrast to Silence of Three Months.

If Silence of Three Months was darkness and death, then Half Summer倾城 was light and vitality.

"Who is that beauty? I've never seen her in the Shura Team's information. Is she the Shura Team's secret trump card?"

"Impossible. I checked her information before. She doesn't have any impressive records. The Shura Team probably wants to train a new player and sent her out."

As Half Summer倾城 appeared, everyone in the audience began to pay attention.

Although the Shura Team was sure to lose this match, they had previously defeated the Glorious Lion Team and were still strong. But they just had some bad luck. Now that the Shura Team suddenly had a stranger, they couldn't help but pay attention.

Silence of Three Months examined Half Summer倾城 with a smile and said, "You probably already know the Necromancer's information. Don't worry, I won't summon a horde of undead creatures to fight you. Consider it a way to add some fun to the match."

"Thank you, but I advise you to go all out from the start, or the battle will end quickly." Half Summer倾城 smiled sweetly, a smile that could melt ice and snow.

"Is that so? Then I'll take your advice and soon show everyone your miserable state!" Silence of Three Months sneered. She had originally intended to tease Half Summer倾城, but now she wanted to change her mind.

Although both of them were smiling, the audience felt a chill hearing their conversation.

The countdown on the field officially began.

5 seconds!

4 seconds!

3 seconds!

…

As the countdown began, everyone in the audience stared intently at the countdown on the stage, feeling nervous.

A duel between experts wasn't like an ordinary player's PK. It would immediately enter high-speed combat, pushing physical strength to the limit. To see clearly, they had to be completely focused.

The moment the countdown ended, Silence of Three Months acted, chanting spells and writing runes with rapid hand movements, so fast that her hands were a blur. Dark gray magic arrays formed around Silence of Three Months, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! Triple casting! Is she even human?"

"No wonder she's the vice-commander of the Purgatory Legion. Her strength is inhuman!"

For ordinary players, single casting was already difficult because if the spell and rune writing weren't accurate, the spell completion rate would be greatly reduced.

Only a few experts could manage dual casting. This required not only accurate spells and writing but also speed. It had to be completed in a very short time, or the system would determine that the spell interval was too long, causing the spell to be interrupted.

Triple casting was even more unattainable, something that mages dreamed of. It wasn't something that could be achieved through effort alone. It required talent!

For mages, mastering triple casting would bring a qualitative improvement to their strength. Fighting one person was equivalent to fighting three, and the three would have perfect coordination. Even assassins known for their speed would be beaten senseless.

Just as everyone was marveling at Silence of Three Months's triple casting, Half Summer倾城 also used dual casting. But compared to triple casting, dual casting was simply incomparable, the difference between candlelight and the bright moon.

"You'll scream in misery!" Silence of Three Months looked at Half Summer倾城, a look of mad ferocity on her face, and waved her staff at the sky.

Instantly, a black magic array appeared in the sky above the arena, covering most of the stage.

First-Tier Forbidden Spell: Death Summoning!

In addition, a magic array suddenly appeared beneath Half Summer倾城's feet, and chains of white bone shot towards Half Summer倾城.

First-Tier Magic: Bone Shackles!

And sharp spears formed around Silence of Three Months, aimed directly at Half Summer倾城.

This was also a First-Tier Magic: Bone Spears!

"It's a pity. This match is going to end before it even begins." Silence of Three Months smiled triumphantly and waved her staff. "Vanish completely!"

With that, six bone spears shot towards the immobile Half Summer倾城.
