Chapter 579: Almost There
The roar echoed across Alley Square.
Even the buzzing swarm of insects fell silent for a moment.
The Black Robes players converging from Tangwell Street's sprawling network of alleys faltered.
They instinctively looked up at Qin Ran, who stood atop the enormous serpent's head with fire in his hand and an aura of aberration radiating from him. Even their system-concealed expressions held a trace of hesitation.
They already knew that all four healers had been wiped out.
Without that essential safeguard, the Black Robes players were no longer quite so fearless when facing Qin Ran, who clearly was not someone to trifle with.
Death was real here.
Not a single one of them would take it lightly.
Disdain death?
That really would be asking to die.
Whoosh!
The night breeze drifted through Giant City, setting Qin Ran's black Crowfeather Cloak snapping in the wind. He calmly surveyed the enemies who vastly outnumbered him.
Then...
Qin Ran struck!
He hurled [Demon Flame], channeled through the [Charles Burning Technique], into the Black Robes players.
Boom!
The triggering of Flameburst instantly reduced two Black Robes players to ash, while many more were caught in the blast.
Caught completely off guard, the Black Robes players froze.
None of them had expected Qin Ran to attack first!
How dare he?!
How dare he?!
Every Black Robes player harbored that same disbelief and... anger.
Yes, anger!
The anger of those whose numbers had inflated their fragile dignity, only to have it challenged!
Even a lion could not bite an entire pack of wolves to death!
And they were more than mere wolves!
"Kill him!"
The false quiet over Alley Square shattered completely after Qin Ran hurled his [Demon Flame]. The Black Robes players launched their attack.
The airborne swarm swooped down again.
