T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 228, Section 227: One-Sword Kill
As soon as Jiang Heyi entered the game, she received a message from Liu Jinhong, the father of French Fries.

"Things were pretty big today, are you alright?"

"It's alright, we can handle it. But Uncle, how are you doing in the faction battle? You didn't get completely crushed, did you?"

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds doesn't require the lackluster rewards of faction wars, yet ordinary players flock to it, resulting in exceptionally intense battles, comparable to a meat grinder.

"You won't believe it, but with the name of the Knights of the Reality-Virtual Boundary, quite a few people are willing to temporarily team up with me."

Right, my attention was diverted to all sorts of random things today. Jiang Heyi seems to have seen something about "the 8th person at the boundary between reality and illusion".

It seems they're talking about Liu Jinhong.

Hopefully, they won't have too high expectations for Liu Jinhong's abilities.

Jiang Heyi's curiosity was piqued: "What do people outside think about the boundary between the real and the virtual?"

"In the neutral rest area of ​​the faction war, there are indeed quite a few people discussing what happened today. They are mostly supporting you and believe that some people are making things up."

“Occasionally, a few people will disagree, and they will be immediately attacked and forced to retreat.”

For a long time, the good reputation that I've built up by creating guides and videos has taken effect. In the game, almost no players believe in the so-called leaked guides.

Back at the guild, Jiang Heyi took out two scrolls from a separately stored chest and was about to embark on his journey to conquer the 10th floor when a dark figure from the side pushed him against the wall.

"That's outrageous! He hasn't been back to the guild for a while, nor has he come to the Fallen Star Royal Court to find me."

Kesha curled its tail and wrapped itself around Jiang Heyi, then opened its arms and hugged him tightly, nuzzling him.

A smooth, quick combo followed swiftly. After everyone had retrieved their items, they discovered Jiang Heyi was gone. Only then did they spot the two, a man and a fish, entwined together in the corridor outside the warehouse.

"Ksha... I have something to do today."

“She said the same thing last time,” Ksha said, dissatisfied. “She said she would ask me to come back and teach Mint how to fight, but she went to the library to study instead. Even you don’t come back to the guild, leaving me to play with the dolls.”

“How about…” Kesha licked his lips, “you can take me with you. I’m sure I can be of help in combat.”

"no!"

Not only was Jiang Heyi eager to refuse, but everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds also spoke up to stop her.

Death is a completely different concept for them compared to the characters in the game.

Rejected again, Kesha became somewhat dejected, muttering to himself, "Potato is ignoring me, I want to go back to the royal court," and so on.

While it's unclear whether characters who have joined a guild can voluntarily leave, given the game's high degree of freedom, it's quite possible...

"Hoo-hoo," Zhong Zemo muttered softly.

French Fries poked Jiang Heyi with his fingertip: "She's already become a guild slave, how can we let her escape? Keep her calm!"

Jiang Heyi wholeheartedly agreed.

Ksha is indeed very important, in terms of enhancing their romantic experiences.

Thinking about it carefully, the fact that he can so smoothly and naturally engage in those ambiguous and sweet daily interactions with French fries in real life is precisely the result of his teaching of using Cassiopeia's ultimate move as a basic attack.

Having only learned a little bit about Ke Xia, Jiang Heyi found it enough to use in his daily life; Ke Xia was truly an excellent relationship mentor.

"We've already reached level 10 of the underground temple's strategy. There are only 3 more levels left to complete it, and then we won't be as busy anymore."

Kesha tilted his head and squinted.

She suddenly released her tail, took two steps back, and opened her arms to Jiang Heyi.

"hug me."

"Ugh?"

"Hold me tighter, be more proactive," Kesha urged. "Sometimes I want to be passive too."

Normally, Kesha's skin is cool and smooth. The rough-looking scales shimmer with a thin mist of water the moment they come into contact, clinging tightly to the two bodies.

Perhaps because she knew the fries were right behind her, Jiang Heyi moved very gently, but when she wrapped her arms around Kexia's waist and felt the surging waves of her breasts, she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

It took a full minute before Kesha finally pulled away from his embrace, her eyes once again overflowing with tender affection as she looked at Jiang Heyi.

"Tail, pat it."

The tip of its chubby tail had already poked in front of Jiang Heyi, trembling incessantly, eagerly awaiting the long-awaited caress.

Jiang Heyi had previously crammed some knowledge about sirens from Bohe. It was said that... some sirens would produce an extremely pleasurable feeling when their tails were stroked.

He was very curious about which book this little bit of knowledge came from, that it was so obscure.

“The Sandel Manual”.

"What's the manual about?"

"A human youth using the pseudonym Sandel traveled all over the continent of Ana, seeking out beauties and writing down his experiences of incestuous relationships with them."

Mint spoke calmly, with a detached air that came from examining things entirely through an academic lens.

The manual was written 21 years ago and contains information on 37 intelligent species, both common and uncommon, on the continent of Anna, along with 21 categories of non-intelligent species.

Based on the age revealed in the book, Sandel was just 30 years old when he accomplished this feat.

Someone traveled all over Anna and wrote a remarkable book at the age of 30.
Some people, at 30 years old, are still innocent and pure-hearted magicians.

Taking advantage of Jiang Heyi's unpreparedness, Kexia kissed Jiang Heyi's cheek.

French Fries was already quite calm. She didn't feel awkward at all; she was just amazed that she had learned another new little trick.

So that's how it can be done.

If you add some of your own unique touches and recreate it in real life, Jiang Heyi's expressions will definitely be quite interesting.

Life-long learning.

"Here, this is a level 7 magic scroll I made myself, the [Healing Water], which has excellent defensive effects."

Kesha demonstrated on the spot; after casting the spell, countless water droplets fell from the sky, condensing into a semi-transparent mist that swirled around him.

Instant-cast magic, ready to use as soon as you pull it out.

The scroll was assigned to Orange Tea, and she was the only one in the team who was caught off guard and unable to dodge nimbly.

Upon returning to the ninth floor, Freya is still there.

As if she knew the purpose of the journey to the boundary between the real and the virtual, she reminded them again: "On the 10th floor, one enemy is skilled in mental magic, and the other is skilled in necromancy. A prolonged battle will be disadvantageous for you, so be careful."

The 10th floor of the underground temple, the Great Archives of the Clarity.

There were no traps, no winding mazes or detours; the teleportation point was located at the bottom of the library, which resembled a palace.

The fire raged, and the acrid smoke swept in, causing everyone who was caught off guard to cough repeatedly.

As far as the eye could see, it was a sea of ​​fire.

The intense heat melted the metal, burned the bookshelves, and turned countless volumes into black ash under the flickering flames, which rose and dissipated with the air currents.

The knowledge accumulated by those who have attained clarity over thousands of years emits a series of mournful "crackling" sounds.

If words and knowledge could speak for themselves, then being in this great library would surely be filled with deafening cries.

The historical written records belonging to this continent are disappearing.

"Why?" Fries asked, puzzled. "The Church of Eternal Night must also need knowledge. It's one thing to kill people, but to burn books as well? It does them no good at all."

The billowing smoke from the inferno made it difficult to distinguish directions. Relying on the Orange God's [Unknown Revelation], the group broke through the fire curtain in the huge library and searched for the floor guardians.

Soon, they reaped the rewards.

Not far away, a woman with disheveled hair and her hands covering her forehead came into their view.

In terms of design and decoration, it is similar to the Nafiel that the temple encountered in its early days.

At this moment, she was letting out a chilling, maniacal laugh as she grabbed the bookshelf that was floating and spiraling upwards in mid-air with the array, and used magic to pull it down.

As if she had gone mad, she picked up the books scattered on the ground, grinned wildly, and threw them into the distant sea of ​​fire.

He muttered to himself, "Fire, fire, fire!"

His mental state doesn't seem ideal.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. You should have let us leave here and killed those invaders long ago."

"I'm perfectly clear-headed, I'm not crazy, I'm going to kill someone!"

She screamed hysterically at an empty, empty space, a chilling scene. Seeing that Nafiel's targeting range wasn't large, the boundary between reality and illusion, still scorched by the flames, retreated a few steps.

The plan begins based on the perturbation of the elements.

"Fries, ready?"

Feeling the six gazes focused on him, French Fries took a deep breath and easily flicked his sword.

"Come!"

Jiang Heyi's accumulated "tide" from the [Tide Summoning] set dissipated into pure water elemental power, which adhered to French Fries' Angry Lion Sword.

Orange Tea summons the [Fire Spirit] to enhance damage and the [Wind Spirit] to increase speed, completing the attachment.

At the same time, apply the [Spiritual Protection] buff, which allows Fire Spirit and Wind Spirit to actively absorb damage when French Fries are injured, increasing survivability.

Zhong Zemo let out a low roar and unleashed [Courageous Shout], a small skill that slightly increases damage and can be learned even before job advancement.

The jailer released his spirit, disintegrating it beforehand, thus providing the fries with a layer of mental magic resistance insurance.

At the same time, he summoned several corpses and put them on standby.

With the buffs from teammates maxed out, it's time for French Fries to show off his skills.

[Tears of Blood]

French fries stood holding a sword, slicing through flesh, and fresh blood gushed out.

She lowered her own morale by self-harming.

Bloodlust Frenzy

The Berserker's most important skill is activated; the worse their condition, the higher their combat power.

The angry lion roared incessantly, and the power gathered on the fries was like a raging torrent, churning endlessly, even causing the soul residing in the longsword to tremble.

The angry lion rejoiced with delight; he was yearning!
Nafiel, who was in the distance, seemed to sense something strange and turned around abruptly, peering into the depths of the fire.

It's not over yet!

Jiang Heyi pulled out the best version of the potion, "The Last Potential," which was improved by Peppermint Mom.

It greatly enhances physical fitness in a short period of time after taking the medicine, but the patient enters a state of exhaustion after the medicine's effect ends.

continue!

【The Wind of Awakening】

It significantly increases movement speed after taking it.

However, taking it with the final potential potion will produce severe side effects.

It doesn't matter; there's no intention to wage a protracted war at the boundary between the virtual and the real.

Come again!

While they were away from the guild, Peppermint Mom managed to make only two bottles of her latest masterpiece.

The Radiant Soul of the Weapon

After consumption, it greatly enhances the weapon's blessing effect in a short period of time.

The upgrade needed for the fries goes without saying; it's the [Raging Lion] sword.

The longsword that once accompanied the legendary Emperor Kurien of the Ana Empire throughout Ana in his youth now let out a deafening roar.

Since Kurien sealed it in the warehouse, it had not seen the light of day for decades, and it had long forgotten the taste of battle.

Even when it reached French fries, it still failed to regain its former glory.

At this moment, numerous benefits converge upon him, and his former glory reappears.

Without needing a blessing to take effect, a majestic golden lion strode out from behind the fries.

Its entire body is covered in scars, telling the story of its glorious and unparalleled achievements.

Nafiel had already pinpointed the boundary between reality and illusion. She raised her hands, and ghostly flames swirled around her.

A sudden gust of cold wind arose, and another necromancer, hidden in the shadows and whose location was unknown, was also making his move.

The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

French Fries leaped up, sword in hand, and the bed sped up to follow.

She wasn't involved in the attack on Nafiel; her purpose was...

"Ow!"

Suddenly appearing skeletons and zombies pounced, but the lithe lithe dodged them all with a deft maneuver, then lightly kicked a ball of light in mid-air, shattering the necromancer's plan to cover Nafiel.

With the cover of a wingman, the operation was a great success.

"Bed!"

The jailer shouted, and two zombies were summoned in front of her.

Before it even landed, the blanket suddenly exerted force in its waist, turned on one foot, and flew up to deliver another kick.

The summoned zombie, which had not yet landed, was sent flying like a cannonball, heading straight for Nafiel.

The other zombie was grabbed by the neck by the blanket and hurled away in a single lunge.

One after the other, two dark figures broke through the air and arrived. Nafiel, whose brain had been severely damaged by mental magic and was in a daze, instinctively raised his head.

Seeing that the fries were still some distance away, she suddenly waved her hand, shattering the zombies.

The jailer chuckled.

"fry!"

A putrid mist enveloped Nafiel, and an unsettling feeling washed over him.

The fries, which Nafiel estimated would take a few more seconds to reach, arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

With a swing of the longsword, the shadow of an angry lion appeared.

The longsword emitted a dark white light, and purplish-blue lightning flickered between the angry lion's claws.

One man and one lion, in the blink of an eye, a double strike.

Nafiel's expression froze in terror.

Two seconds later, a chilling aura erupted from her body, and the dazzling light emanating from her body forced back the necromancer who rushed out of the darkness, causing him to retreat hastily.

Nafiel finally uttered his first sound after seeing the boundary between reality and illusion.

"you……"

"how come……"

"Ahhhh!"

The piercing screams subsided after a violent explosion.

Nafiel's body was torn to pieces, and her blood stained the bookshelves and books that she had not yet burned.

Her head rolled and rolled until it fell into the sea of ​​fire.

His unwilling eyes remained open, still fixed on the fries.

"You...you people, how could you...do this..."

Before he could finish a complete sentence, Nafiel died.

The powerful eighth-tier mental magic master of the Eternal Night Church was killed by French Fries with a single sword strike.

It wasn't time to celebrate yet. The attention of everyone at the boundary between the real and the virtual immediately turned to the necromancer who was wearing a hood and floating in mid-air not far away.

His face was deathly pale; he had not yet recovered from the shock of Nafiel's sudden death.

"Who...who exactly are you people?"

"Us?" Fries stood with his sword drawn. "Just a bunch of lousy video game players."
