Chapter 1331 1331: 1331: Divine Game: Graveyard of Bones 53

The moment that voice appeared, Rita was actually the most panicked one.

There were only fourteen people on this battlefield including herself, and Vineborne made up a full third of them…

But panic aside, her hands didn't slow down in the slightest.

The golden apple had already formed. Rita snatched it straight from the still-tearful QM Cicada and immediately retreated.

QM Cicada's soul fire was still lit, with a fair amount remaining. Whatever demon talent she had used, it meant that ownership of Flower Crown Murder still didn't belong to Rita. The only reason Rita could temporarily take it was because it had been turned into a golden apple.

Long Sigh's thirty seconds were almost over, but Rita had already achieved her goal.

Not only had she stopped the Vine from being damaged, she had also successfully reclaimed it for the moment.

Now the real fight began.

The Captain hadn't actually been slacking. The sea of flowers outside the lantern's mist had already been cleared away.

But since the Vine was back, Rita didn't rush to use Dark Side of the Moon again.

Abilities tied to soul fire had extremely high ceilings. Even if Dark Side of the Moon could seal skills, it didn't necessarily mean it could seal QM Cicada's demon talent.

What if, after being locked inside Wrathful Moon, she used that ability to devour the moon and moon sand inside the lantern?

Just because QM Deceitful Bloom had stopped her earlier didn't mean the risk didn't exist. Maybe to the Vineborne, losing their Vine was even worse than losing a divine relic.

Flower of Deceit only lasted one minute.

At this moment, Quiet Mountain Smoke Tune and Mojie had already closed in.

In a one-versus-three situation, there was no way she could kill QM Cicada within a minute.

But now, killing her wasn't enough.

Her Vine had been eaten… at least one percent.

Could she just let that go?

Rita clashed with QM Cicada again. Before the golden apple effect ended, she needed to attack at high frequency and trigger Pirate Entrance as much as possible, draining the remaining less-than-ten-percent soul fire from QM Cicada.

Lightning turned into rain again, but this time it only fell over QM Cicada's head.

Dense golden strands poured down like a shower.

So what if the chance to steal soul fire was only five percent?

She'd just hit her a few thousand more times. Even one point of damage was still damage.

Not far away, Cat's Ideal spun wildly in the air like a racing wheel, roaring with the sound of waves.

In such a high-pressure battle, QM Deceitful Bloom, who was being held back by Starsea Deceitful Bloom, still kept trying to send petals over to attack her.

Rita suddenly broke into a foolish grin.

She activated her racial talent, Optimism.

When her win rate dropped below eighty percent, her agility increased by twenty percent.

Facing QM Deceitful Bloom's strange gaze, Starsea Deceitful Bloom raised an eyebrow and returned a puzzled look.

"What?"

QM Deceitful Bloom sneered. "Did you teach her this shameless fighting style?"

Starsea Deceitful Bloom answered instantly, firm and loud. "Absolutely not."

Less than ten seconds later, QM Cicada, completely stunned by this ridiculous tactic, had her soul fire drained to zero.

Rita immediately locked her into the lantern.

The Vine, still in golden apple form, remained in her hand.

The moment QM Cicada was imprisoned, the outline of her soul fire went dark for only two breaths before lighting up again.

But without actual soul fire, she couldn't use her demon talent.

Rita felt both relief and regret.

Even a max-level divine relic couldn't completely suppress soul fire…

But that brief suppression was enough.

Because she could already sense Flower Crown Murder again.

Canceling Flower of Deceit, the golden apple in her hand exploded into countless white petals, swirling around her before flying back.

Flower Crown Murder had returned.

Without hesitation, Rita sent the petals straight into the lantern.

They passed through the mist layer and flooded over QM Cicada, beginning to drain her attributes and abilities.

Nearby, Starsea Deceitful Bloom, who was still fighting QM Deceitful Bloom, showed no obvious reaction.

But every Flower of Deceit on her Vine suddenly turned in unison, like sunflowers, all facing Rita and staring straight at her.

Rita, who always kept awareness of her surroundings in battle: ......

She quietly moved Wrathful Moon behind her waist.

QM Deceitful Bloom glanced mockingly at Starsea Deceitful Bloom. "Long time no see. Your temper's improved."

That sounded like deliberate provocation.

Rita suspected QM Deceitful Bloom had seen what happened in Quiet Mountain before… maybe her earlier charge at Rita even had a bit of revenge mixed in.

At that moment, Rita suddenly transformed into an orchid mantis and dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding a wave crashing toward her.

Almost simultaneously, another wave surged from the opposite direction, colliding head-on with the first.

The Starsea Captain, who had been "slacking" for so long, finally engaged the Quiet Mountain Captain summoned by someone.

Setting aside the two-versus-two gods, there were only four Quiet Mountain players left on the field: Cicada, Smoke Tune, Mojie, and Frenzied Shark.

And Cicada was currently imprisoned.

Starsea, on the other hand, had Rita, Mistblade, Maple Syrup, Cicada, Autumn Deer, JE, and NightFury.

But Rita didn't relax.

If anything, she became more tense.

Questions kept flashing through her mind.

Was Starsea's path to survival here?

Why hadn't QM Rita arrived yet?

And what about QM Maple Syrup, QM Mistblade, and Quiet Mountain Frost Deer who had already died earlier? Were they really going to let Starsea's Maple Syrup, Mistblade, and Autumn Deer go?

Rita sent a command to B80, who was hiding outside the battlefield.

Take out the Quiet Mountain token from the gacha machine and check what's being said in their chat.

B80 quickly replied.

Nothing. No one has spoken since day sixteen of the Graveyard of Bones game.

That was clearly wrong.

After the Quiet Mountain game ended, Rita had obtained a Quiet Mountain token that let her see their chat.

If Starsea players looked lively but were full of conflict and grudges, then Quiet Mountain players were the opposite.

They seemed cold, even harsh with each other, but from an outsider's view, there was a subtle warmth between them.

No one acknowledged it, but it was there.

Their chat wasn't active, but there was always something every day.

Rita sighed inwardly.

Had they discovered her? Or had they always known, just never cared before?

At that moment, a shadow of a cage appeared around the battlefield.

Rita's eyes sharpened.

Finally… it's here.

Without hesitation, she spent one point of soul fire to change her name.

No matter how QM Rita used her demon game ability next, she would have to call out a name.

So what if that name… wasn't hers anymore?

After all, when a player gets hunted by the entire server, changing your ID is pretty standard, right?
