Chapter 1029: No Moon
This ratman Professional never imagined in his wildest dreams that his dagger would fail to pierce a woman's body!
And that woman was someone not even level 200!
This scene filled him with a massive sense of danger!
Something's off!
Very off!
Without hesitation, the ratman Professional immediately tried to use his Shadow Escape skill to flee from the woman he'd just called a beauty.
However…
"Trying to leave now? Too late!"
Chang Yue sneered.
Buzz!!
A surge of moonlight burst out and formed a cage, trapping the ratman Professional instantly!
『Moonlight Cage』!
At the same time…
Chang Yue's eyes turned blood-red, her pupils filled with intense rage and killing intent!
"Damn it!!"
The ratman Professional realized the danger and immediately unleashed his strongest skill!
『Shadow Steal from the Heavens』!
He raised his dagger high, gathering massive shadow power, then stabbed straight at the moonlight cage!
Boom!!
A terrifying burst of energy exploded outward.
His companions thought this move would surely shatter the cage.
But they realized…
They were too naive!
He couldn't escape!
No way to escape!
When the explosion faded, the moonlight cage remained rock solid!
Chang Yue slowly lifted her head to look at the sky.
All the Professionals instinctively followed her gaze.
And then they saw…
A brilliant full moon cast its silver light, illuminating all of them.
Meng Shuang and Yun Man looked at each other and helplessly smiled.
Well then…
Looks like they won't be needed.
Chang Yue was the oldest and most mature of the three.
But truthfully, she also had the worst temper.
Especially during a full moon night.
Her power would skyrocket to terrifying heights.
Even Meng Shuang and Yun Man had to avoid clashing with her during full moon nights.
This was the absolute racial advantage of the Xinmao Jade Rabbit race.
On full moon nights, the combat power of the Xinmao Jade Rabbit would continuously increase, with no upper limit.
There was only one way to stop it:
Destroy the full moon in the sky.
But who could possibly do that?
At the very least…
These level-300 Professionals definitely couldn't.
At this moment—
Chang Yue's aura kept rising.
At first, no one thought much of it, but now the energy inside her was so wild it could barely be contained.
The clearest sign was the intensifying moonlight cage crushing the ratman Professional.
And beginning to crush him completely.
"Aaaaghhh!!"
The ratman Professional let out a miserable scream.
"What are you all standing there for? Save me, dammit!"
He shouted furiously at his dumbfounded companions.
He regretted everything!
He should never have messed with that damn woman!
No wonder she hadn't run!
Turns out she was waiting for them to walk into her trap!
And in that moonlight cage, all spatial movement was completely sealed.
His companions finally snapped back to reality.
But none of them dared to charge in recklessly like he had.
Are you kidding?!
The ratman's mistake was right in front of them.
If they rushed in and ended up like him, what then?
Besides…
They were all teammates, but not that close.
No one was dumb enough to risk their life for him.
In fact…
Even if he died on the spot, they wouldn't feel a thing—better him than them.
"Everyone group up!"
"Don't charge in blindly!"
"Buff up!"
"Stay sharp!"
The leading middle-aged Professional stopped spectating and barked orders.
He realized these three divine beast girls weren't simple!
At the very least, their strength definitely didn't match their levels!
"Aghh!! Are you guys seriously not going to save me?!"
"I'm about to get crushed to death!"
The ratman Professional was on the verge of tears.
He was falling apart while they played it safe.
But the leader stayed calm.
He decided to handle this with maximum caution.
Only that way could they avoid getting wrecked.
As for the ratman's fate…
Heh! Who cares?
"You're really not going to save him?"
At that moment—
Chang Yue's blood-red eyes turned toward the Professionals.
Just meeting her gaze filled them with dread.
"Don't get scared!"
"She's just a level 190 woman!"
"Frontline charge! DPS support! Buffers, buff them up!"
The leader barked loudly.
And then—
Swish!!
He charged at Chang Yue himself!
The others hesitated, then followed with gritted teeth!
"Charge, dammit…"
The ratman was nearly flattened, cracks forming all over his body.
He stared wide-eyed as his comrades attacked.
However…
Facing their charge, Chang Yue simply lifted her jade hand and pointed toward the moon above. In a calm, soft voice, she spoke:
"No Moon."
Swish!!
The full moon instantly darkened.
The entire world was cloaked in darkness.
Not even a finger could be seen in front of their faces.
The suffocating darkness swallowed all the Professionals.
Before it consumed them, every one of their faces showed one clear expression: fear.
Five seconds later—
The moon above shone once again.
Back in Kost Hotel, countless Professionals had been dancing under the moonlight. After five seconds of eerie darkness, they erupted in confusion.
"What the hell? Why did it suddenly go dark?!"
"I think the moon just vanished for a second."
"Creepy… What the hell happened?"
"Who knows? Doesn't matter. Whatever it was, it can't hurt us—we're in a safe zone!"
Some were curious, some intrigued, but none were worried.
In the Upper Realm, safe zones were absolutely secure.
Meanwhile—
Back in the Kost Hotel banquet hall.
After Will's earlier public intimidation, the Ascenders had all gone quiet.
They had begun negotiating contracts with various guilds and noble houses.
Will saw this and smiled with satisfaction.
After all, every time an Ascender signed with a faction, he got a nice commission.
