Rivalry: Infinite Buff

Chapter 10- Leaf Town

Two hours later, the team arrived in Leaf Town, while, at the same time, Ivan also got a system prompt that he had gained some AP.

Congratulations! You’ve found Leaf Town! AP+10!

There were actually many ways to get AP in Rivalry, for example, every time you explored an unknown place, you would also get AP. Of course, the value of AP you got would depend on what the place looked like.

AP played a big role after your reputation if you were trying to create a guild in Rivalry, or players could exchange some special items from secret race tribes with AP.

Leaf Town was a small town with a population of no more than 10,000 people. Although the shops were not very big, there were different kinds, weapon shops, d**g stores, tailor shops and inns. Plus, there seemed to be tens of thousands of maple trees throughout the town. Ivan could only imagine what a beautiful town it would be during the Autumn. 

The team stopped at the entrance of the town, and ToughBlazer looked at the surrounding maple forest before climbing down off of his horse. 

He walked to the huge carriage, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Logan, would you like to have a rest in Leaf Town? "

A faint voice came from the carriage, "I’m good. Let’s speed up to Logan. I have really bad hunch."

"Copy that!”

ToughBlazer frowned, and then re-directed the team to move on.

Unexpectedly, the convoy had only walked for less than a mile when a sudden change occurred. The groups who had given the food to the robbers began to murmur. Seven or Eight people covered their heads and fell down to the ground. It wasn’t long before they were dead, their heads burst as if it was a watermelon begin hit with a sledge hammer. 

Ivan looked at the bodies on the ground. Their heads exploded, but their legs were still twitching. Ivan was too shocked to talk or move.

"Pain Curse!" Mr. Logan commented from behind the curtain of the carriage. 

ToughBlazer was obviously shocked by what he just heard. "What? Isn't that the skill of Illusionist? How could such a powerful skill appear on such low-level maps like Leaf Town? Anyway, let me get rid of these traitors first."

After speaking, ToughBlazer disappeared and appeared again behind several followers. Before they realized what happened, their bodies vanished into thin air. 

"No, it’s not right. My Flashback shouldn’t destroy an Illusionist in such an easy way.” ToughBlazer instantly killed a few followers but instead of being happy, he began to sweat. 

Mr. Logan explained, "Several of them are just Illusionist’s phantoms. I guess the robbers we met before were also phantoms, and then the Illusionist exchanged the soul with one of our men. He’s waiting for the best time.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Just as Mr. Logan completed his analysis, there was applause arising up. Ivan turned to the left and saw a figure walking slowly out of the maple forest. As he walked closer, Ivan found this’s probably the tallest person he’d ever seen in the system.

The young people stopped when he was 30 meters away from the crowd, "Mr. Logan, I have to admit you’re as smart as what people said.”

"I don't know where you come from or why you are here, and I'm not interested in knowing it. I just want to know how you’re going pay since you killed my people for no reason!” Mr. Logan asked indifferently.

The young man brushed off a maple leaf that fell on his collar, "Yeah, anyway, no one will care about those rats. I am here for HP fragments. You better hand it over when I am still in the mood, otherwise ... "

"Huh, you’re funny! How could I have HP fragments on me?" Mr. Logan sounded slightly nervous when he heard HP fragments but still tried to respond coldly.

The young man shook his head, "I know you’re lying. Since you’re not corporate, I guess I have to kill you to get it. Mr. Dark Dragon is waiting for me to take it back. Let’s save some time."

"How dare you? I’m going to chop your head off!” ToughBlazer pulled the dagger out from his waist and tried to reach the young man but was stopped by Mr. Logan. 

"He’s way beyond your level. I am guessing you’re one of the eight guards of Dark Dragon,” Mr. Logan said firmly.

Dragon? Was there such a creature in this game? With a curious mind, Ivan opened his Stats.

Mirage

Level:106

HP: N/A

ATK: N/A

……

Clearly ToughBlazer didn’t listen to what Mr. Logan had told him, "I’d rather die than retreat!" shouting that, he rushed at Mirage again.

It seemed Mirage wasn’t even in half defense state, "You must want to die, let me help you with that! Shadow Mask!”

Mirage instantly took out his magic stick, after drawing a dark circle in the air with it, a black lightning ball flew straight at ToughBlazer.

ToughBlazer was covered by the thunderbolt, and -500 kept appearing on his body. At such a critical time, he just disappeared using an exclusive skill of an assassin. However, ToughBlazer was too weak to master his skill. He couldn’t entirely hide his bod, but the good thing was the damage was reduced to -300.

ToughBlazer was furious. He tried to fight his way out of the thunderbolt with his dagger. Yet, no matter how hard he chopped, the diameter of his dagger only became smaller and the thunder and lightning became denser. 

"Stop it!" Mr. Logan finally shouted out!
