Chapter 4

The stress turned Zheng’s eyes red. He was ready to use Soru with instant Destruction then he saw a layer of ice appeared between Frodo and the Ringwraith.

Dong! The dark sword hit the ice wall and a crack spread throughout but it didn’t break.

Gungnir stood by the bottom of the ice wall and shouted. “I can’t keep this up much longer, fucking come and help!” He waved his arms and the crack on the ice wall began to close up. It was very small when the dark sword landed on the ice wall again.

The Ringwraith continued hacking on it again and again. The ice wall’s recovery rate couldn’t keep up.

“Ice age!” The stress was getting into Gungnir. He was an ability user and couldn’t perform well in both close or long range fights. Given how powerful this Ringwraith was, he would instantly get slashed in halves if the Ringwraith got in close range. He lacked reaction speed and combat techniques. The ice wall was the only thing he could do in this situation.

Gungnir crushed the serpent gem in his hand. The temperature in a two meter radius around him dropped substantially. He raised his arm and his arm transformed into ice and fused with the ice wall. Two seconds later, the ice wall extended outward and froze the hooves of the skeleton horse. However, these hooves were burning with fire and broke free almost instantly. The Ringwraith pulled the lead rope then the horse leaped forward.

This was Gungnir’s time to show off. The gem provided him with ice energy when he crushed it. He only unlocked the second stage of the genetic constraint and his Hie Hie no Mi enhancement wasn’t at the highest rank so he couldn’t fully utilize the devil fruit’s power unless he use an ice attribute energy stone, which was a rank C reward. The energy stones he had was originally prepared for life and death situations. He could never expect to use one at the beginning of the movie, even if this one was obtained after he arrived. He decided he had to kill this Ringwraith. He wouldn’t take a loss in any deals.

The skeleton horse leaped and Gungnir raised his other arm. Both his arms had transformed into ice. The ice wall on top of him moved like a creature and turned into a ten meter big hand. The hand reached for the Ringwraith.

Bang! It grabbed the Ringwraith and slapped downward. The hand pressed a deep hole on the ground.

Gungnir let out a sigh of relief. He immediately ran over to the hand. The people around him was surprised and followed after. Zheng also came over. He estimated Gungnir’s strength then ran toward the two Hobbits.

Frodo and Sam were completely shocked. They had never seen such intense battles in their lives.

Zheng crouched with a smile and looked at them. “We are fine. Don’t worry. We promised Gandalf to escort you to The Prancing Pony and we will keep this promise.”

The Hobbits nodded repeatedly. They were obviously scared and didn’t know what to say. They just continued to stare at the slab of ice.

Xuan walked over to Zheng. “What’s your estimate? How much certainty you have in beating Gungnir?”

Zheng replied in a low voice. “I don’t know if he can turn his whole body into ice when he uses this ability. If he can, then I will have to burn him with red flame. I only have 60% chance of winning in this scenario. If he can only turn his arms into ice, I can kill him with Destruction.”

“Oh.” Xuan casually responded. Then he walked toward the huge slab of ice.

Zheng immediately grabbed him and asked in an even lower voice. “Tell me the truth. Are you scheming these two teams? Do you plan to wipe them along with the other two teams? This may sound absurd but I feel like it’s something you will do.”

Xuan glanced at him. “That’s impossible. We don’t have the conditions to accomplish this. The alliance is necessary or we have no way of taking on team East America and team Celestial. If we are to judge team Celestial based on team Devil, they aren’t a team we can take on by ourselves. But I am surprised you finally learned to be merciless.” He patted Zheng’s shoulder as if he was gratified.

Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was scared of Xuan wiping the two teams with some trap without a word. The rewards from that would be so huge but he was more worried about team Celestial. He asked that question to remind Xuan of the risks and was labeled as merciless.

On the other side, most people of the three teams had gathered around the slab of ice. The Ringwraith and skeleton horse were frozen in the center of the ice. The Ringwraith was still in the position of holding the lead rope and swinging his sword.

“It was so powerful. The Ringwraiths in the movie don’t have much strength but they are so powerful here. They are more like death knights than Ringwraiths.” A teenager from team Northern Ice Land loudly said. He seemed like a veteran and not newbie.

“True.” Gungnir touched the ice and muttered to himself.

(I was trying to crush it but it looks unharmed. The toughness of this armor is stupid. What should I do? I caught it. I am not going to let someone else kill it. But if I use that skill, it will reveal my trump card. That’s not going to go well if team Africa or team China have ill intentions.)

Gungnir looked at the Ringwraith in silence. After a while, he said. “Marvis, bring me Alex’s spear.”

The girl with bow from his team ran over to the corpse of the young man and picked up the ice spear. She didn’t even look at the corpse.

Gungnir smiled at the others. His baby face was indeed charming. Without a word, he stabbed the spear into the ice. A crevice opened up on the ice and let his spear move through. The spear pierced the Ringwraith’s helm.

Sizz. A dense black mist came out through the crevice. The mist floated upward about ten meters then it dissipated.

“That wasn’t worth it. Only a rank D reward and 2000 points. I used a rank C energy stone.” Gungnir sighed. He even threw the spear onto the ground to express his anger.

The others couldn’t tell if he was acting since he was the only one who killed a Ringwraith. The amount of rewards were only his words. Though no one said anything. He was the one who caught the Ringwraith after all. No one was qualified to complain even if he withheld this information.

“Let’s go. Our resting ends. The Ringwraith’s power exceeded our expectation. This was only one Ringwraith. If the remaining eight appear at the same time, we can only run. We can’t afford to take unnecessary breaks before we reach Bree!” Zheng took a deep breath and said to the group.

He displayed the qualities of a leader in that fight so most people in the three teams subconsciously started walking. Some veterans looked at each other and followed. Then the two leaders also followed. Half a minute later, the group entered the farm field.

What they didn’t notice was Ringwraith’s armor began breaking down into dust but the skeleton horse remained intact. Its eyes still shining a red light.

“We can safely assume that the movie characters are at least five times more powerful than they are in the movie. Maybe even more. There’s also the possibility this only applies to a small number of characters, like the Ringwraiths. There are only nine of them in the movie.”

The three teams began moving again after they killed the Ringwraith. Even the weakest newbies didn’t complain and ran with all they had. Thanks to Lan’s endurance psyche force ability, everyone was able to keep running and the newbies didn’t lag behind.

The two Hobbits finally said they were tired by evening. So the three teams set up camps by a forest. The Hobbits and newbies stayed within the center of the camp for their safety while the veterans stayed by the border.

The Hobbits then wanted to look for vegetables among the farm fields. The leaders had no choice but to assign several people to protect them. They then started to review the fight earlier in the day.

Neos analyzed the Ringwraith’s strength to the others while he ate his chocolate. When the Hobbits came back with quite a lot of food, he stopped talking.

Zheng looked at the Hobbits roasting the food. Then he frowned. “Unfortunately our biggest danger comes from the Ringwraiths. Going by the plot, these Ringwraiths will keep attacking us until we reach Rivendell, which will take at least ten days. I can take on one or two Ringwraiths. Our teams can take on four to five. However, if the remaining eight came at once, we might lose over twenty people and possibly the two Hobbits. Their attacks are sharp and they have ridiculous speed.”

Neos smiled coldly. “It won’t be dying twenty or so people. We might only have ten people survive. They just have to let six Ringwraiths delay our strongest members. Two Ringwraiths can kill the rest of the group in under two minutes. Remember sci-fi weapons are nullified against them!”

“Right, sci-fi weapons have no effect.” Zheng nodded.

He suddenly stood up and walked over to the two Hobbits. Then he brought out a Sky Stick and said to Sam. “Sam, come over for a minute.”

Sam was surprised. He handed the herb he was roasting to a girl next to him then walked over to Zheng.

Zheng grabbed him and stepped onto the Sky Stick. The outcome was just as he expected. The Sky Stick couldn’t move like it was depleted of energy. When he put Sam back down, the Sky Stick floated again. Sam whistled at the sight of it.

“Sci-fi weapons and equipments really have no effects on them. This is probably God’s mean to prevent us from flying them to Rivendell.” Zheng smiled bitterly.

Neos and Gungnir smiled back, though each with different meanings. Xuan said. “The plot changed.”

Neos frowned as he ate another piece of chocolate and said. “Right, the plot changed. We are supposed to encounter the Ringwraiths for the first time after we meet up with the other two Hobbits. In the plot, the four Hobbits boarded the Bucklebury Ferry but we won’t be able to do the same with the number of people we have. The speed of the skeleton horses also exceeds the original movie.” He was sweating when he said this.

Xuan remained calm as always. “We are no longer safe starting at the time we met the first Ringwraith. Furthermore, our psyche force users didn’t detect it yesterday. Which means they won’t appear in psyche scans. If my guess is correct, the rest of the Ringwraiths will come when we meet up with the other two Hobbits. Maybe one, or two, or even eight.”

Zheng didn’t look at how the other leaders react, he asked Xuan. “Why are you sure they will appear with the Hobbits? You definitely have a plan to get us through this. I don’t know how many people can live with eight Ringwraiths at the same time.”

Neos fiercely snapped a piece of chocolate and said. “Because the Hobbits are part of our mission. We will lose points if they die and earn points if they live. So we have to meet them before the Ringwraiths or it won’t reflect the difficulty of protecting them. This is probably God’s trap.”

Gungnir stopped smiling and said anxiously. “So what are we going to do? Do we have no choice but to stay here and wait or keep going and encounter the rest of the Ringwraiths?”

Neos didn’t reply. He was sweating as he kept devouring his chocolate. He looked like he had gone insane. Zheng stared at Xuan. Given his understanding of Xuan, Xuan definitely already came up with the solution before he said those words. He always had an solution, no matter how risky or crazy the solution might be.

“Since we can’t afford to let all eight Ringwraiths attack us, then we will bait them out.” Xuan said calmly.

“What do you mean?” The three leaders asked simultaneously. Neos then snapped another piece of chocolate.

“The elves. The group of elves the Hobbits see at night. There are over a hundred of them and the time is tonight.” Xuan said.

Neos was enlightened. He immediately stood up and said. “That seems like our only chance. Yes, this is the only solution. Zheng, use your Sky Stick and go find the other two Hobbits. They have gotten far from Hobbiton so they should be close to us. Find them and the elves with psyche scan. Then we will have Frodo wear the One Ring to bait out the Ringwraiths and have the elves fight for us. While they were fighting, we will head toward Brandywine River. The Hobbits will be safe after they boarded the Ferry. And since the Ringwraiths chase after the One Ring, we can use our items to get to Bree by ourselves. This is our only chance!”

“Yes. This is our only chance. At least the only chance to escort the Hobbits to Bree without too many casualties.” Xuan wasn’t mad at Neos interrupting him.

They discussed some details then informed Lan and Snow. One of them began to search for the two Hobbits and the other began to search for the elves. Zheng went away on the Sky Stick.

As Zheng pondered, he received an image from Lan. The Hobbits were in a hill not far away. He arrived at them in just a minute with the Sky Stick. The Hobbits were having a barbeque and looked enjoying it.

Without a word, he stepped off the Sky Stick, put it back into the ring then carried the Hobbits in his arms. The Hobbits were completely shocked. He jumped up to a tree while they screamed. Then he moved extremely fast in Explosion with the movement technique. Wind stuffed the Hobbits’ mouths as they screamed. After a bit, they had to stop. The three came back to the camps before long.

Frodo and Sam were surprised when Zheng came back with the two Hobbits.

“Frodo!” “Sam!” “Merry!” “Pippin!”

Zheng put the Hobbits down and they immediately ran over to Frodo and Sam.

Merry asked. “Frodo, why are you here? I know. Did these bandits capture you to cook for them? We Hobbits make the best foods.”

Frodo replied. “No. Zheng and everyone are good people. They have been protecting us and taking us to Bree. Why are you here? It’s quite far from Hobbiton.”

Merry and Pippin laughed with embarrassment. They didn’t know how to respond.

Snow suddenly said. “Zheng, I found the elves. They are behind that forest and are heading toward us. They will arrive in about three minutes.”

Zheng nodded. “Good job. Take care of yourself in a bit, okay?”

Snow nodded. The Hobbits seemed excited and said simultaneously. “The elves?” They immediately started to run in the elves’ direction.

Zheng grabbed Frodo at once and said in a serious tone. “Frodo, put the One Ring on. When you see a group on horses run toward you, immediately take the ring off. Get it?”

Frodo was shocked. His hand reached for his chest then he said. “How do you know I have the One Ring? Gandalf told me to never put it on because it wants to return to its owner. Zheng, I won’t put the ring on!”

Zheng said. “Believe in me. Didn’t we fight the Ringwraith earlier in the day? We won’t harm you. We will take you to Bree safely. You just have to wear the ring for a short while. You will still hold onto the ring. We won’t touch it. Okay?”

Frodo had never worn the ring before but there was a voice telling him to wear it ever since he obtained it. He had wanted to try the ring and now that Zheng was saying this with sincerity, plus the rest of the group were around him, he let go of the worry. He slowly brought out a golden ring and put it on his finger.

Sizz. Frodo disappeared. Everyone looked at the spot. They had been notified to start running toward the elves as soon as Frodo came back. This was their only chance of escaping.

About a minute later, Frodo appeared on the ground, panting. His face looked pale. “They are coming. A lot. There are eight Ringwraiths running toward us. They are fast. Almost here!”

Zheng carried Frodo and took a deep breath. Then he yelled. “Run! Run toward the elves!” He took the lead and ran.

They were less than two minutes away from the elves at this point. The Ringwraiths were nowhere to be seen.

It was less than a minute after they started running when they could see a faint golden glow ahead. The elves in The Lord of the Rings exerted a soft glow in darkness which gave them a sense of mysterious beauty. This was also the best method of identifying the elves. When many elves gathered together, this beautiful glow looked more striking.

As soon as they saw the glow, a chilling air struck them from behind. This air blew up scattered leaves on the ground. They could hear the whinny of horses and instantly felt things were going terrible. The Ringwraiths were too fast. Were these death knights already here?

“Don’t worry. The Ringwraiths are still a few minutes away.” Lan yelled as she ran. “I can’t see it with psyche scan but I can see the withering plants. The traces of withering are approaching. Hurry!”

The group sped up even more as they heard. Ten seconds later, they saw the elves. This group of elves had approximately three hundred. They looked at these forty people with surprise. They elves also born fighters. A hundred of them immediately drew their arrows. The three teams stopped in place and didn’t dare to move.

Zheng shouted. “Corrupted creatures are chasing after us. Aren’t the elves a race of the good? Help us fight off the enemies!”

Noises broke out among the elves. They could see the elves were split into two parties. One believed they should help Zheng’s group while the other didn’t want to get involved. As they argued, the sense of chill was approaching.

“Halt! Have you forgotten the destination of our journey?” A man walked out from the elves.

He had blonde long hair, a fair face, and a pair of pointy ears. The elves quieted down following his shout. He walked a few steps toward the three teams and said. “My apologies, stranger. We are destined to be forgotten. We no longer hold any relation to this world as we are about to leave Middle Earth. We are merely passersby whether this world is evil or kind. I apologize that we are unable to help you.”

“They are the Ringwraiths chasing after us! Our ancestors had fought alongside you in the Last Alliance. Please help their descendents. We are allies!” Someone behind Zheng yelled. It was a newbie from team Africa, a young man in his mid twenties dressed in a suit. Zheng recalled he introduced himself as a lawyer. No wonder he had his way with words.

The elves fell into silence. The leader of their group sighed quietly. ‘Ally’ was a holy word to the elves. And the name Ringwraiths also struck their hearts. They could still remember the war due to their immortality. Never had they thought the Ringwraiths that had disappeared for so many years suddenly reappeared. This message made the elves feel suspicious.

“It is indeed the Ringwraiths. There are eight evil creatures approaching us rapidly. That evil force belonged to the force of death unique to the Ringwraiths.” The elves’s leader closed his eyes and faced toward the group’s direction. After a while, he muttered.

“You have the One Ring!” He opened his eyes abruptly.

Zheng stepped forward and said. “Yes. We are escorting the One Ring to Rivendell but we were found by the Ringwraiths soon after we left the Shire. We don’t have the power to protect these four Hobbits. That’s why we need your help. We just need you to delay the Ringwraiths for a period of time while we head to Brandywine River as fast as possible. The Ringwraiths can’t cross the river. Then we will head to Bree.”

The elves’s leader sighed. He looked at the Hobbits then turned around to his group. “Let the humans know we never abandon our allies. Never have and never will!” He shouted then picked up a bow from a maid. It was a green bow made of wood.

Zheng took several deep breaths then shouted to the three teams. “The newbies escape into the forest behind the elves. We will come back to get you after we reach Brandywine River. Don’t try run and move in groups. Xuan, Yinkong, that Druid, Richard and ChengXiao, head to the river when you see the Ringwraiths get stopped by us. Get the Hobbits on the ferry and wait for us. I will have Lan support you through Soul Link! The rest of the veterans attack! Try to kill all the Ringwraiths!”

Neos and Gungnir looked at each other. They both laughed coldly but didn’t say anything. They followed Zheng’s order and stood in their positions. The newbies had witnessed the attacks of the Ringwraith and quickly ran toward the forest. In under twenty seconds, they were nowhere to be seen.

The elves didn’t say anything about it. They had over a hundred archers with two meter long bows. The elves were slender and tall. They averaged 1.8 meters and some were even 1.9 meters tall. Their height supplemented the long bows to give their arrows more power. They were ready to fight by the time Zheng finished assigning the tasks. A third of the elves backed into the forest. These were the non combat elves. The fighters had a quiver hanging by their waist, which could not be described with the word gentle.

“Ready!” The elves’s leader yelled.

Zheng and the others sensed the chill growing colder. As the elves’s leader yelled ‘fire’, a Ringwraith charged out from a tree.

This Ringwraith also rode a black skeleton horse. The horse was a size bigger than the previous one and faster. Its eyes weren’t shining in a red light but rather they were flames. The Ringwraith’s equipments also seem more powerful. He carried a black shield in addition to the two handed sword.

The elves fired a hundred arrows that glowed in a green light. However, the arrows only resulted in clanks as they hit the shield then quickly get corroded by the black mist. These arrows couldn’t stop the Ringwraith even a bit.

The Ringwraith first appeared 300 meters away from the groups, then it crossed 100 meters by the time the arrows hit. At this time, a silver and a green arrow fired toward the Ringwraith’s head. However, it reacted instantly and the arrows hit the shield.

Heng and the girl archer fired their arrows. They were both using +3 enchanted arrows but their different bows gave the arrows different glows. These two arrows were much more powerful than the elves’s.

The elves’s leader quickly glanced at the two players. He drew his bow with two arrows in his hand. The bow came into a full moon. As the Ringwraith crossed another hundred meters, he released the arrows one after the other. The second arrow hit the tail of the first and accelerated the first arrow in a mini explosion. A green light hit that thick shield. Pah! The shield exploded.

The girl archer watched with her eyes wide open. She stared at the wooden bow then back at her own bow in disbelief. While she was shocked, Heng also brought out two arrows and drew his bow to a full moon. He wasn’t using the Sirius bow anymore but he was so concentrated at this moment. There was not even a hint of fear in his eyes.

A second explosive shot was fired. Heng’s skill surpassed that of the elves’s leader. The power of the explosive shot with the addition of the magical bow and enchanted arrows made the arrow’s trail nearly invisible to the human eyes. At almost the same instant, the arrow pierced the Ringwraith’s head then the head exploded.

Zheng sighed. It had been so long since he last witnessed Heng’s technique. The power of this shot could shock and awe their enemies. The other two teams stared at Heng in shock. These were the veterans remaining and they were able to see what happened with the two arrows.

The elves’s leader reacted similarly then he yelled. “Stay alert! The Ringwraiths grow stronger with the death of each one. There are seven more. They will only keep growing stronger!”

The players were shocked again to hear that. Everyone felt bitter. This was like a message announcing their despair. The Ringwraiths were already so difficult to overcome in their normal form. Just then, another Ringwraith charged out from that same withered tree. He was even faster than the previous one. Then three more Ringwraiths came out after him. All four Ringwraiths carried thick large shields. They didn’t charge recklessly but advanced by moving among the trees with their anti-gravity attribute. The elves couldn’t focus their aim.

“It’s time to fight! Everyone bring out all you have or none of us can make it out alive!” Zheng shouted. He raised Tiger’s Soul and slashed at a tree.

The rest of the players also began destroying the trees in front of them. The Ringwraiths could ignore gravity so complex terrains would only add to their strength. Which would make them impossible to defeat.

The elves frowned but with such powerful enemies ahead, they couldn’t say anything about it. By the time the players cleared an eight meter area around them, the first Ringwraith had approached. He was running on top of falling leaves then his sword slashed at Zheng’s head.

Zheng was the strongest in close combat among the three teams. He raised Tiger’s Soul to block. Dong! The force pushed him a few inches into the ground but the Ringwraith was knocked up a few meters into the air. Zheng didn’t pause. He leaped and slashed at the Ringwraith’s left body. It cut off the Ringwraith’s arm and shield.

At the same time, Zheng shouted. “Xuan, I will leave them to you! Bring them away!”

Xuan responded in a deep voice then picked up Frodo and ran toward the back of the elves. The other three Hobbits looked at each other and followed them. YinKong, Richard, and ChengXiao followed after. A Caucasian man from team Northern Ice Land hesitated a bit before going. These nine people crossed the elves’ defense line and into the forest.

Zheng didn’t have the effort to care about other people. He attacked with the intention of slashing the Ringwraith in halves but the dark sword defended against the light blade from Tiger’s Soul. So after the two weapons clashed, he only cut off an arm from the Ringwraith. As he raised sword for a follow up attack, the Ringwraith pulled the lead rope and the horse jumped back. The anti-gravity attribute proved its usefulness. The skeleton horse stood on a tree’s branch.

Zheng also leaped back because three other Ringwraiths charged at him. Neither of them was slower than the first one. He wouldn’t stand a chance if he didn’t use Destruction against them. And the most important factor was their mobility given the anti-gravity attribute. The Ringwraiths’ attacks became unpredictable. If it were a one on one fight on the ground, he could take on the Ringwraiths with just Explosion.

“Heng! Where are your arrows? Give me fire support! Where is everyone else? Hie Hie no Mi and Goro Goro no Mi are all fucking high tier enhancements! Are you waiting for the Ringwraiths to close in and get killed?” Zheng was feeling a chill when he fought the three Ringwraiths alone. Just then, three more Ringwraiths came out from the top of the tree.

“Ready!” The elves’ leader yelled again. The hundred archers around him were recruited just for the occasion but they could tell these were well trained fighters. The arrows rained down on the nearest four Ringwraiths on the elves’ leader’s command.

Three of the Ringwraiths blocked with shields. The arrows couldn’t penetrate through. The one with missing arm dodged with difficulty. After the rain of arrows, this Ringwraith and its skeleton horse were turned into hedgehogs. Its helm was nearly destroyed. Everyone heard a wail that seemingly came from the abyss as the Ringwraith fell. Black mist rose to the air. The skeleton horse also wailed and turned into a pile of fire.

“Very impressive rain of arrow. Heng, what’s wrong? Hurry and shoot!” Seeing that a Ringwraith was killed, Zheng yelled with joy.

Everyone was staring at the remaining six Ringwraiths. The Ringwraiths stopped moving. They all looked up to the sky. The mist split into six and flowed into the Ringwraiths’ helms through the openings. Once the mist was gone, the Ringwraiths’ shields grew larger and thicker, their swords were enveloped in a dense mist, so much that they almost couldn’t make out the mist. It seemed like black sword.

The elves’ leader frowned. “It’s just like the records indicated. The Ringwraiths aren’t living creatures. They are monsters existing on the border of life and death. Their lives are connected. When one dies, his power and life will be given to the remaining Ringwraiths. When only one Ringwraith remains, he will be the monster that Sauron wanted. The true Ringwraith will be the strongest general under Sauron.”

The veterans didn’t have time to delve into their questions when faced with six powered up Ringwraiths. They had began to consider backing away since these Ringwraiths weren’t going after them. There was no need to put their lives on the line for little reward. Some people from team Northern Ice Land and team Africa stepped back. Even Gando followed their steps.

“Are you retarded? Do you know what happens if the they seize the One Ring? Sauron will be revived!” Neos was the first to shout out. “What is our mission in this movie? Reach Mordor with all five teams! If Sauron waits there, do you think he will be easier than the final Ringwraith? You won’t even know how you die at that point. It’s better to follow the plot so Sauron never gets the One Ring. That’s the only way we can safely complete this mission!”

The veterans hesitated. Gungnir shouted. “Sci-fi weapon users back off. You aren’t useful here. Everyone get ready to fight with full strength. Zheng, how many Ringwraiths can you take at once? I mean at their current strength.”

Zheng didn’t turn around. He was staring at the Ringwraiths. “Two, maybe three. I don’t have any way to take more.”

Gungnir immediately brought out an ice energy stone. “I can probably take on one with Ice Age. Hawfor can take one with with Goro Goro no Mi and everyone else’s help. We will have to leave the rest to the elves. But fuck. It’s only the beginning of the movie and we are encountering enemies so powerful. I can’t imagine what’s going to come.”

Zheng also sighed. He was about to respond then the Ringwraiths suddenly charged at him. Their speed was faster than before, almost reaching his speed in Explosion. They still ignored gravity so he couldn’t predict their movements.

Two green and two silver arrows flew toward the Ringwraiths. The elves’ leader and Heng fired simultaneously. Then the girl archer and the elf patriarch fired their arrows.

Heng and the elves’ leader’s explosive shots blasted the shields of two Ringwraiths. A rain of arrows followed. Everyone watched waiting for these two Ringwraiths to get buried by the arrows.

However, the Ringwraiths really did grew stronger. The swung their swords at the incoming arrows. The swords had strong corrosive attribute. The arrows would get corroded on contact. After the rain of arrows, only a few were pierced into the Ringwraiths and their skeleton horses. None hit their fatal spots. The front three Ringwraiths were only fifty meters away from the group.

“Shoot! Shoot!” Zheng defended in front of everyone with Tiger’s Soul. He cried with madness as the Ringwraiths were getting close.

Heng suddenly brought out an arrow. He put it beside his lips and blew the arrow. Then he drew his bow. A strong aura exploded from him and shocked the girl archer. Everyone except from Zheng turned their attention to him. Heng released the arrow then collapsed like he was exhausted.

No one heard the usual sound of an arrow flying through the air nor saw even a trace of the arrow. All they saw was the nearest Ringwraith shattered. The arrow went from the underside of the horse, flew upward and out from the Ringwraith’s neck. The Ringwraith shattered in midair before it fell to the ground. This was Heng’s final attack, Charged Shot.

“Good!” Zheng knew Heng could no longer fight. However, there were only five Ringwraiths left and two without shields. Without another second of thinking, he used Instant Destruction and Soru. He moved past the shieldless Ringwraiths and to the three behind.

Soru was so fast that he went past first two Ringwraiths in just the blink of an eye. The elven archers shot their arrows again because the Ringwraiths stopped in place while they were growing. Gungnir also crushed the energy stone and charged up. People from both team Northern Ice Land and Africa did the same. No one would give up on these points and ranked rewards.

Zheng used Soru again. He used the force from this speed and leaped from a tree. The tree instantly trembled violently. And Zheng jumped up into mid air. The light blade extended from Tiger’s Soul and he slashed at a Ringwraith. But this Ringwraith wasn’t frozen in place as he thought. His dark sword blocked in front when the light blade was only two meters away.

Clank! Zheng’s hand trembled. The powerful force that came through Tiger’s Soul made his hand hurt.

Five Ringwraiths left but their power had became much stronger.
