Heroes' Prison

Chapter 318 - 311: Reunion with Mirror Broken

The so-called S-level teams were actually a term coined by player communities, mainly stemming from rating agencies on forums. In these forums, there were all sorts of player organizations, some of which specialized in assessing the strength of teams.

For instance, regarding instance groups, they would determine the strength of a team based on various indicators such as progress in the Tower of Pantheons, clear time, casualty rate, leaderboard data, and so on. There were five levels in total, with D-level being the weakest and S-level the top-level. Renowned teams like the Yanhuang Legion, Angel Legion, and Heavenly Group, were all S-level teams. Huang Yi aimed for this level.

Within half a year, turning all three major teams into S-level teams in their respective fields was a tall order. However, Huang Yi had this confidence in Knight, Sunset, and Overlord, these three individuals.

"Big brother, what about me?" Just then, Light Demon, standing nearby, couldn’t help but wonder, "They all have official positions and I have nothing! I want to be an official too!"

"Don’t worry, you’ll get yours!" Huang Yi said with a slight smile, using his utmost authority as the Guild President to appoint Light Demon as the Head of the Mage Hall, in charge of all Mage Class roles in the Hero Guild.

"Hmm! Head of the Mage Hall, that sounds pretty awesome!" Light Demon, having received the appointment notification, stroked his chin and said contentedly.

"This is a matter of guild structure. The Pope made frequent adjustments to the guild structure recently because there were issues with their system. There was infighting among the high ranks, which was a headache for him. In our guild, the senior ranks are basically our own people, so there’s no issue of power struggles. Nevertheless, we need to consider the feelings of some talented individuals who aren’t our brothers from Rose Prison, like Nameless. That’s why I created a very simple guild structure. Overall, my concept is one of seven horizontals, three verticals, and two departments."

Huang Yi paused for a moment and continued, "Seven horizontals represent the seven types of players, which is to say, creating a hall for each of the Seven Great Classes. We already have the Assassins’ Hall, which is managed by Nameless. This Mage Hall is the second, and we’ll establish the remaining five in turn. These seven halls are responsible for providing talents. Three verticals refer to three applications: Instance Group, Adventure Group, and Battlefield Group. Whatever type of people these groups need can be found among the Seven Great Classes. The two departments are the logistics and affairs departments. The logistics department is responsible for managing Life Class Players, Guild Warehouse, resource management, and so on, while the affairs department takes care of the daily operations of the guild, like punishments and rewards, publicity, training, etc. Seven horizontals, three verticals, and two departments make up a total of 12 leaders, all equal in rank, with no superior-subordinate relations. However, all of you report to the vice president, Qin Shiyu."

"Ah, the beautiful vice president? I haven’t yet seen her true face. She always wears a mask, but just her figure is already outstanding. Big brother, you have good taste, finding such a beautiful sister-in-law," Light Demon said, his eyes gleaming.

Huang Yi patted Light Demon’s shoulder, looked at the other three, and said, "Work hard! Our guild’s reputation is growing, and our potential is huge, but in terms of foundation and strength, we cannot compare with the Xuanyuan Clan and the Hall of Famous Generals. Our guild is now level 6 with six million members, more populous than many countries in the real world. Whatever people you three major teams lack, we can most likely find. With so many people, it’s more than enough for you to select suitable team members and create an excellent team. If managing one team doesn’t satisfy you, you can start a second team, a third team... it’s all up to your abilities. We are all criminals from Rose Prison, living under the same roof, so let’s not lose out to Brother Lei’s Sun Guild!"

All four listened intently to Huang Yi and solemnly nodded their heads.

"We all have the same goal, and that’s to leave the dreary Rose Prison. Once we’re strong enough to influence the whole of The Second World, we’ll have the chance to bring down the World Federation and gain our freedom. With Era of Corporation in the picture, the World Federation won’t target Rose Prison. We can compete fairly and pursue true freedom. I hope that day won’t be too far off." Huang Yi sighed deeply, looking at the road ahead.

In front of them, enemies teemed, hindering their progress and concealing the end point from view.

...

The five continued to progress through the Tower of Pantheons, and under Huang Yi’s tremendous offensive power, Knight, Light Demon, and Sunset all reached level 50 and were able to awaken their War Souls.

"All right, that’s it for today. Knight, hurry up and form a five-thousand-member instance group. Let’s aim to conquer the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons early and strive to get a Spirit Stone for each of the guild’s high-ranking members. As for team members, reward everyone who participated in conquering the secret realms with Contribution Points. They can use those points to exchange for money, properties in Dragon City, equipment from the Guild Warehouse, or any other resources. Set the conditions freely; we won’t have trouble recruiting people."

"Got it! I’ll get on it right away!" Knight nodded his head and immediately left the Tower of Pantheons.

"You guys go get busy too, I’ve got an urgent matter to deal with," Huang Yi told the other three and then teleported out of the Tower of Pantheons.

Immediately afterward, Huang Yi teleported to Tiantai City and rushed towards the outskirts of the city at breakneck speed.

Just now, he had received an urgent message from Qin Shiyu—

One of the Four Great Assassins of China, Mirror Broken, was in the area outside Tiantai City, murdering players from the Hero Guild and claiming, "Members of the Hero Guild, I’ll kill every single one I see. Those who leave the guild will be spared!"

This kind of declaration was no mere trifling dispute; it involved the face of the guild and had to be resolved by eliminating the opponent.

If the other party was an ordinary person, Qin Shiyu might have just sent an Enforcement Team to deal with it, but Mirror Broken was not an ordinary figure. At present, within the entire Hero Guild, only Huang Yi was fully confident he could instakill him, so he had to take action personally.

This time, it was not Huang Yi’s incarnation that took action, but his real body. He mounted his powerful Raptor and sped towards the location of the incident at full speed.

...

"Call your president, Instakill, to fight me, or I’ll keep killing these little pawns of your Hero Guild every time I see them. Tiantai City is not far from Dragon City; many players from the Hero Guild are around, and I can kill a lot of people here every day. Of course, if you leave the guild, I won’t kill you." Far away, Huang Yi could already hear Mirror Broken’s jeering voice. At that moment, Mirror Broken was fighting five Hero Guild players, all wearing expressions full of outrage, while a large crowd was gathered around to watch the excitement.

"Who do you think you are! You’re just one of the Four Great Assassins of the China Region. There are more than two hundred countries and regions in the world; you are nothing on a global scale! Even Dragon Spike, the strongest of the assassins, wouldn’t dare to speak to our president like that!" A Hero Guild player shouted furiously at Mirror Broken, defending Huang Yi’s reputation.

"Hmph! I just fought with Instakill recently; am I not clear about his moves? If it hadn’t been for my strategic mistake, I could have killed him right then and there, not wait until now," Mirror Broken said, playing with the dagger in his hand and shaking his head in disdain.

The surrounding onlookers were slightly startled by these words, and immediately, there was a buzz of discussion.

"No way, Mirror Broken and Instakill have already fought once before?"

"Is this true? Why haven’t I heard anyone mention this on the forum?"

"Mirror Broken is a renowned expert who has been known for a long time; he probably wouldn’t lie. But is Instakill really that weak? Although Mirror Broken is also an expert, he doesn’t seem to be at Instakill’s level, unless it was Dragon Spike, that would be more believable."

...

The discussions of the surrounding people buzzed like flies, reaching the ears of those five members of the Hero Guild, making their faces redden with indignation.

"To insult our president like that, I can’t take it anymore!" A warrior player from the Hero Guild, no longer able to withstand the provocation, brandished his Great Sword and charged forward.

"Let me do it!" Just then, a nonchalant voice suddenly came from the crowd. Following that, a player dressed in Leather Armor and playing with a dagger, walked slowly out from among the people.

Seeing this person, Mirror Broken’s expression became slightly more solemn, and he snorted coldly, "Nameless, I didn’t expect you to stoop to this level, becoming Instakill’s lackey!"

This newcomer was none other than Nameless, one of the Four Great Assassins of China, famous just like Mirror Broken, and the head of the Assassins’ Hall of the Hero Guild.

"Brother Nameless, this Mirror Broken has been ranting this whole time, so arrogant! Quick, kill him!" The five Hero Guild players, seeing Nameless arrive, immediately became excited, finding their backbone as they all gathered around him.

At that moment, the surrounding crowd also began to look forward with anticipation. Nameless was also one of China’s Four Great Assassins; the two were evenly matched figures, making their battle bound to be filled with excitement. Many players even started recording, ready to capture this great assassin battle and upload it to the forum.

"You are all too impatient. Mirror Broken’s ranting is clearly a trap, leading you to attack first so that he doesn’t accrue any Sin Value," Nameless said, looking at the five Hero Guild members and then turning to Mirror Broken with a faint smile. "Mirror Broken, let’s have some fun, shall we? Instakill is too busy to bother with a minor character like you; I am sufficient to take you on."

"What arrogance! It seems like Instakill has kept quiet about what happened before to save his own face!" Mirror Broken said, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he was savoring the feeling, "You didn’t see what a sorry state Instakill was in when I pushed him to the limit last time; tsk, it was so pathetic!"

"It just so happens I also have fond memories of that day’s battle. Let’s have a rematch today, then!" Right at that moment, Huang Yi’s voice finally rang out. (To be continued.
