Afterward, everything Luo Zhen had done in Marion Canyon naturally spread like wildfire.
The latest reports about Luo Zhen online now included another entry.
"On December 11, 2025, a total of 117 GGO players ambushed the 'Mage' Luo Zhen in Marion Canyon, known as the Land of Death, south of Glocken City, as he returned to the World Capital. The ambush resulted in 76 players being killed and 41 fleeing in disarray. Among the dead were the top players who had placed eighteenth, nineteenth, twenty-fourth, and twenty-seventh in the second BoB Tournament. Among those who fled were the players who had placed thirteenth and twenty-second in the previous BoB Tournament. More than half of the rest were also first-rate professional players, yet they suffered a crushing defeat in the end."
Once the news spread online, everyone was truly stunned this time.
That included players from the other VRMMOs, as well as players from ALO.
"Even an ambush by so many experts ended in a crushing defeat?"
"You've got to be kidding me."
"No matter how strong the 'Mage' is, defeating a hundred people single-handedly is a bit too ridiculous."
"And more than half of them were first-rate professional players. There were even several top players who had made the rankings in the second BoB Tournament."
"This isn't a joke, is it?"
"What player could possibly be that strong?"
Everyone who saw the news began discussing it fervently, unable to believe it for a time.
Even the players in GGO reacted this way.
"Impossible!"
"Yeah! How could that be?"
"Leaving everything else aside, that was the Land of Death. Even a group of terrible players could ambush first-rate players there and turn them into pincushions. How could someone possibly defeat so many experts single-handedly instead?"
"This has to be fake, right?"
