After witnessing that, Lone Vagrant Guest was so shocked that his hair started to stand on end.

Fck! Did you… did you just throw her down?
Lone Vagrant Guest pointed at Wang Yu.
As he saw Lone Vagrant Guest’s huge reaction, Wang Yu asked,
Isn’t she our enemy? What’s wrong with throwing her down?

In Wang Yu’s eyes, there was not much difference between throwing someone down and killing someone with his fists.

But she is a girl!
Lone Vagrant Guest exclaimed.
Wang Yu replied,
I know that but because she is a girl which is why I chose not to kill her with my fists. Do you really want to see me beat up a woman?


Fck?
Lone Vagrant Guest was slightly surprised at Wang Yu’s explanation. He suddenly realised that Wang Yu seemed to make sense but moments later, he thought to himself,
How can getting beaten to death the same as falling to death?

In the game, even if someone was stabbed to death, their life would end once the knife entered the body. However, falling to down the cliff before dying was different. From such a high place, there was the process of falling. That feeling was definitely not something anyone would want to feel.
Regardless, Wang Yu’s act of throwing the two mountain goblins and One Page Book down had left Lone Vagrant Guest speechless. He had already labelled Wang Yu as a completely crazy and ridiculous person.
Lone Vagrant Guest subconsciously took two steps away from Wang Yu. Wang Yu had just thrown three people down and could be addicted to doing so. Who knows if he would even throw him down too?
Looking at Lone Vagrant Guest’s complicated expression, Wang Yu smiled but didn’t bother about him. At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly received a system notification.
System Notification: Dagger of Seal was shifted and the dark altar had been activated. You’ve accepted a compulsory quest
Alter At The Peak
. Quest Grade: S. Current Segment
Emission of Magic Energy
: Bring the
Heart of Darkness
for the advisor to take a look. He will tell you what to do next.
Quest Notification: The emission of magic energy has caused abnormal behaviours in the monsters of the Dusk Peak. Currently, all the monsters have lost the support from the Heart of Darkness. They are all heading towards the mountain peak. All gamers please leave swiftly.
Take Note: The Heart of Darkness is the source of darkness. The unintentional destruction of the seal resulted in the reappearance of the altar. There is an urgent need to repair it. If one fails to complete the quest or the Heart of Darkness is dropped, one’s level would -5 and Twilight City merit points -1000.
After the system notification, the name of the black box inside Wang Yu’s bag changed into
Heart of Darkness
. At the back of the box, there was a row of small words: Death will result in a 100% drop rate..

Fck this…

After looking at all the notifications, Wang Yu cried out in agony. If he knew that this plaything was such a pain, he would have allowed One Page Book to take this item away.
Simultaneously, Wang Yu heard a sound from far away as he glanced over. All he saw was a bunch of black monsters charging from the foot of the mountain. In the front line of those monsters were the Dusk God Eagles and Desert Blood Eagles. Just like locust, they filled up the entire sky very quickly.
Wang Yu frowned and he took out the rope he used earlier. This rope was actually the Flying Dragon Rope. Because he had no means of reshaping it into anything else yet, he could only use it as a rope.

Hurry up and wrap the rope around yourself. We have to hurry down now.
An anxious Wang Yu looked over at Lone Vagrant Guest.
Lone Vagrant Guest replied,
What’s the hurry? Oh yes, where is the black box you took earlier? Hand it to me…

As Wang Yu noticed the increasing proximity of the monsters, he pointed in that direction for Lone Vagrant Guest to see,
Didn’t you see that crowd of monsters charging towards us?

Lone Vagrant Guest turned his head and jumped in shock,
What? What is happening?

Wang Yu replied,
After you pulled out the dagger, we invited trouble. Hurry up and let me throw you down!
Wang Yu was equally as confused as he wondered if this kid even received the system notification.
Lone Vagrant Guest got scared when he heard that Wang Yu wanted to throw him down. His face turned pale and instantly replied,
There is the vine so I’ll just climb down myself.


Then you can slowly enjoy being eaten by those monsters.
As he said that, he formed a hoop with the rope and wrapped it around Lone Vagrant Guest. Following which, he grabbed onto Lone Vagrant Guest’s shirt collar to throw him down.

Ah! Iron Bull, fck you…

Lone Vagrant Guest’s devastating cry could be heard as he was thrown down.
Wang Yu’s rope was only about thirty metres long and was merely about one-third of the height of this cliff. After throwing Lone Vagrant Guest down, Wang Yu jumped down too. As he noticed that Lone Vagrant Guest was only a few metres away from the ground, Wang Yu struck a sword into the cliff and the two of them stopped momentarily. They were both hanging off the cliff.
At this moment, the monsters on the top of the mountain had arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Wang Yu let go of the rope to let Lone Vagrant Guest drop down. Following that, he kept his sword and jumped down. When he was a few metres from the ground, he executed Sunset Shift and his body flashed and appeared right beside Lone Vagrant Guest.
Presently, Lone Vagrant Guest was lying flat on the ground and his face was extremely pale.

Hurry up and leave!
Wang Yu shouted hurriedly.

Scram!
Lone Vagrant Guest shouted with a hoarse voice. Evidently, he was frightened pretty badly.
Wang Yu looked down on him as he responded,
I cannot believe this. You’re like that after falling just a few metres?

According to the system, only a fall from a height of 20 metres and above would lead to death. Falling from a few metres would merely cause one to lose some of one’s health. If it wasn’t for the lack of white light, Wang Yu would have thought that Lone Vagrant Guest died just by looking at his pale face.
Lone Vagrant Guest replied furiously,
You’re really good at playing with ropes right?


Yes I do! I am proficient in all 18 kinds of weapons!
Wang Yu shouted with gusto.

Then why did I almost die earlier on?
Lone Vagrant Guest was almost going crazy. He was nearly killed by Wang Yu’s rope.
This experience made Lone Vagrant Guest realised that being stabbed to death would be the most painless way of dying in this game.

…
Wang Yu blushed as he tried to explain himself.
You don’t know anything! In the martial arts sequence, I usually kill people with my rope. This is the first time I’ve tried to rescue someone with it.
To be honest, Wang Yu only knew how to form a hoop like that besides the normal way of tying his shoelace.

Hmph!
Lone Vagrant Guest, who had already gotten off the ground, didn’t continue to say anything.
As the two of them argued, the crowd of flying monsters circled the top of the cliff for a while before surging down towards them.
Wang Yu and Lone Vagrant Guest were both flabbergasted at this sight as they tried to retreat in panic. However, how were they supposed to outrun these monsters with wings?

Where should we escape to?

Looking at all these monsters, Lone Vagrant Guest had almost given up all hopes.
Lone Vagrant Guest was a Thief. If it was any other type of monster, Lone Vagrant Guest could still hide in his [Stealth] mode even if he couldn’t escape. However, this sky full of flying monsters all had observational skills. How was he supposed to escape?
At this particular moment, the flying monsters had already flown to the back of these two players.
Wang Yu saw these closely packed monsters and couldn’t help but shiver. He was certain that he wouldn’t be able to outrun these monsters. Even so, he was more certain that he couldn’t afford to die.
Without mentioning the incredible difficulty to increase from level 30 to level 35, the deduction of 1000 Twilight City merit points would be enough to turn Wang Yu into the ultimate criminal in the city.
One must know that having the main city merit points came with many privileges. If he really turned into a criminal, Wang Yu would no longer be able to hang around the Twilight City. Additionally, Old Man Hermit would probably be the first to jump out to kill him.
