BXBX NOVEL Chapter 541-Players Joining the Battle in Succession
After Emma left, Betack also departed as quickly as possible. His urgency was even greater than Emma\'s, given that he was one of the members of the Order Faction in Storm City.
With Emma joining the fray, other players who had previously joined the Order Faction also began to enter the battle in succession. However, these players were not only lower in level, but their equipment was also not as advanced. Thus, their participation in the battle merely alleviated some of the pressure on the Order Faction guards without halting the advance of the Dark Faction demons.
The demons of the Dark Faction had already successfully breached the defenses of Storm City\'s walls. Some of the lower-level demons even took advantage of the insufficient defensive forces to enter the city. Naturally, these demons primarily targeted the unprepared Order Faction guards.
Although the defenses of Storm City\'s walls had completely collapsed, the majority of NPCs and lower-level players within the city had not faced significant threats. They had already moved close to the teleportation points before the breach. A substantial number of NPCs and lower-level players had already left through the teleportation points.
Moreover, many guards from other Order Faction territories were rapidly converging on the teleportation points, gradually bolstering Storm City\'s defensive forces.
Additionally, the battle unfolding in Storm City was becoming a hot topic of discussion on player forums, as players had not encountered such a critical storyline event in a long time.
Players from both the Order Faction and the Dark Faction, regardless of their level, whether they were professional gamers or casual players, were all acutely aware of the significance of the ongoing battle for the upcoming plot twists. The appearance of Corruptor, a Devil, on the city walls marked the first time such a being had been presented before all players. With John once again under the spotlight, everyone was reminded of his top-tier strength.
Discussions about John on the player forums became even more prevalent, with the majority now aware that John was the anonymous player topping the player rankings.
["Isn\'t the strength of this anonymous player a bit too overwhelming? He\'s actually able to withstand a direct attack from a Devil. The last time he appeared, he was aiding Duke Arsena in countering the attack from Mystery Vanguard. If I\'m not mistaken, the power of Mystery Vanguard isn\'t as formidable as that of a Devil, right?"]
["You\'re not mistaken; the power of Mystery Vanguard is far from matching that of a Devil. After all, Mystery Vanguard is merely a monster from the Mystery faction, while Devils are among the masters of dark power."]
["Do you think this anonymous player will play a crucial role in the upcoming storyline? Didn\'t the game mention before launch that players would significantly impact the storyline? Top players might have an even greater influence on the plot, right?"]
["Isn\'t he already influencing the storyline\'s progression? If this anonymous player can indeed defeat Corruptor, Storm City might be secured successfully. Perhaps we could even return to Storm City."]
["I think you might be getting your hopes up too high. While it\'s true that the anonymous player is incredibly powerful, the Dark Faction\'s plan this time is meticulously crafted. Haven\'t you noticed? All known territories of the Order Faction have already been attacked."]
["I\'m at Iceburg Castle, and I can confirm that the Order Faction here is also engaged in a fierce battle. The Dark Faction\'s attack this time is indeed flawless."]
["Has anyone joined the Dark Faction? If the Dark Faction wins this battle, what kind of rewards will you receive? I\'m starting to regret choosing to join the Order Faction."]
All the posts on the player forums were about the battle in Storm City, though these discussions were primarily among lower-level players.
The real top-tier players were observing the battle, waiting for the emergence of the ultimate victor.
Although many top-tier players had promised Adam to join the defense of Storm City, these elite players ultimately did not fulfill their promises. They believed that joining the Order Faction could lead to repercussions for them if the Order Faction were to fail.
After observing for a while, Adam and Blue Sea became thoroughly disappointed with the other top-tier players. Blue Sea spoke candidly to Adam, "No top-tier players will come to our aid now; we can only rely on ourselves. As you\'ve seen, John is already in a tough fight; we need to act quickly."
Adam hesitated, still believing some top-tier players might join the ongoing battle, so he suggested waiting a bit longer. Continuing to wait wouldn\'t put John in more danger, as both he and Blue Sea knew well that John\'s strength was not to be underestimated.

"Should we wait a little longer? Maybe some top-tier players have already started moving but just haven\'t arrived yet."
Holding onto some hope, Adam managed to persuade Blue Sea to wait again. After some more time, they did see some top-tier players arrive, but their strength wasn\'t as formidable as expected. While the arriving players had high rankings, they were generally outside the top 100.
Clearly, the top 100 elite players were still watching the situation unfold.
Adam felt that it was unlikely for any other top players to arrive anymore. Because the top players in the game all possessed a multitude of teleportation skills. If they wanted to rush over, they would have already done so.
"Let\'s just join the battle right now! I believe that with our coordination, the Order Faction can definitely successfully defend Storm City! And we will certainly earn a lot of rewards!"
Under the leadership of Adam and Blue Sea, many top players joined the battle. However, their participation did not immediately give the Order Faction any advantages.
After all, the strength of these top players was only equivalent to the stronger guards within the Order Faction. Moreover, the number of these top-level players was not that high, so how could they quickly change the course of the battle?
In reality, everyone\'s attention was mostly focused on the battle between John and Corruptor. With the help of Natasha and Shatras, John successfully managed to break free from Corruptor\'s entanglement.
John chose to rapidly advance in the direction of Dark Magus. Dark Magus also sensed John\'s plan, so he chose to teleport away immediately.
The place Dark Magus teleported to was not far from Storm City, it was the summoning point of the Dark Faction. In this area, the Dark Faction could continuously summon very powerful demons from the Dark Realm.
Dark Magus believed that John would never choose to follow him, as in his view, John\'s strength, although top-notch, would never directly attack the Dark Faction\'s headquarters.
However, in the end, John\'s actions exceeded Dark Magus\'s expectations. John chose to pursue Dark Magus and arrived at the Dark Faction\'s headquarters.
Moreover, John didn\'t hesitate at all; he directly activated his ultimate form. He used the Book of the Astral Realm to elevate his power to its maximum.
Although in this situation, he couldn\'t sustain for too long, in John\'s view, he only needed to fight in his strongest state for a short time to eliminate Dark Magus.
After eliminating Dark Magus, he could return to the city walls to continue battling Corruptor. John didn\'t believe that Natasha and Shatras alone could defeat Corruptor.
John even thought that if he didn\'t act quickly enough, both Natasha and Shatras would eventually be defeated by Corruptor.
