Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

A moment later, he seemed to have passed through a muddy area, and when he came to his senses, he was already in a thin film inside a mirror. Behind him, he could still see the scene in the Dark Cathedral. The projection of the Dark Spider Mother Matalita was in a rage, wandering around on the second floor of the Dark Cathedral, as if still looking for his traces. Soria Ryan was kneeling in the distance with a fanatical look on his face.

Behind him were the ancient ruins of the Elf Kingdom where he had come in. Richie Burke and his companions seemed to be fighting with another group of people.

There is no need to make any confirmation, just pass through this film and you will return to the real world, back to the world with warm beds and delicious food.

"Finally escaped..." Zhou Ning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes because of looking directly at Martalita. He found that his shirt was almost wet, his face was covered with sweat, and he felt like he was about to collapse.

In the previous battle, my vitality, willpower, and concentration all dropped to double digits. I was just one step away from death, losing control, and turning into a spider, with debuffs stacked up. If it weren't for Jasmine's help, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with it. I can only try to use the One Piece Possession Card.

I really need to think about it. If I have the chance, I will help Jasmine reshape her body. She wants a beautiful one with big breasts. Good person!

But Zhou Ning had his concerns. He wasn't too familiar with the Pirate King's combat power. Even if the Pirate King was incredibly powerful, he was using his own body after all, so the suppression of his status was inevitable. He wouldn't necessarily be able to gain an advantage over the Dark Spider Mother. On the contrary, if he focused on fighting, he'd be even more likely to lose.

Thinking back carefully, this adventure was the most dangerous and exciting one he had ever encountered. Not only did he enter the tomb of the Elf King, but he even faced the projection of the Ancient God in the Dark Cathedral and shot at Him. If he told this to other people, they would definitely think he was crazy.

Because the term "ancient god" is different from the righteous gods, it has always been accompanied by madness, chaos and corruption, and mortals cannot touch it at all.

It was also the first time in his life that he faced the pressure of a mythical creature head-on. The result was so terrifying that he almost fell down in seconds.

Fortunately, this Dark Spider Mother was only a projection. Her true form was likely like the other Ancient Gods, either dormant, imprisoned, or in a semi-perished state. It was also fortunate that these beastly Ancient Gods were often more mad than rational, and the projections were even more so. Otherwise, she would have likely been instantly killed. While his brief encounter with the Ancient God had been dangerous, it wasn't entirely without benefits. At least it had given him some resistance to facing the mythical creatures directly, preventing him from being completely crushed like this time. This was directly reflected in his Willpower increasing by 5 points, jumping to 105.

Zhou Ning let out a long breath, his expression gradually calming down. If he had the chance again, he would still draw his spear at the Ancient God without hesitation. Fear is the easiest way to make mistakes.

Then, he focused his attention on the other side of the mirror. He noticed that the pirates fighting with Richie Burke and his men were another group of pirates. There was a floating three-masted sailing ship hovering not far from the ground. It was obvious that the enemy on the opposite side should be the one Richie Burke had mentioned before, the enemy chasing after him - Aaron Ingersoll.

The name had sounded familiar to Rich Burke when he'd mentioned it before, but after seeing him, I finally remembered—this was clearly the notoriously brutal Northern Pirate General, Aaron the Bloodthirster, a name he likely changed later. He enjoyed slaughtering caravans and civilians near the entrance to the Misty Sea, and the super-class professionals of Rivendell were helpless against him. In his previous life, his bounty on the three kingdoms of Luinth, Rivendell Sea Kingdom, and Bryston Kingdom totaled 30 Victar. Even now, it was worth 1 Victar. He'd recently robbed and massacred a caravan traveling from Luinth to Bryston, Zhou Ning had read about it in the newspaper.

Aaron Ingersoll's head suddenly turned into a pile of ink-scented banknotes in Zhou Ning's eyes. Zhou Ning had never felt any burden in killing such a villain with low moral standards, and he had never considered the problem of not being able to defeat him.

Nine eight riyals increased the deterrent power against pirates by 50%, and the bond of the symbol of the Pirate King also increased the deterrent power against pirates by 50%. After the two were superimposed, the total deterrent power bonus of 100% coupled with the domineering aura was enough to scare any pirate below the super-class professional level instantly.

At this time, the two sides had not yet decided the winner, but it was obvious that the balance of victory had tilted towards Aaron Ingersoll's side. There was originally a gap in the number of people on both sides, and Aaron Ingersoll's side had the advantage. What's more, the Myrney Rooster hovering in the air could provide stable fire support.

However, the performance of several players was a little beyond his expectations. Two players with devil fruits, Underwater Star and Wind-Chasing Thunderous Fury, turned into a jackal and a Dalmatian respectively. They had a strong presence and followed two of their own sailors to besiege a high-level professional on the opposite side. They could deal considerable damage from time to time and could even often use the skill of hiding a gun in the sword that they taught to sneak up on people.

As the two players with the highest level, XB and Jinse are not too disgraceful, and their output is surprisingly stable.

Of course, this was from Zhou Ning's perspective. From the perspective of an insider, this large-scale battle shocked the four players in the field. Dozens of high-level professionals were fighting each other in the field, the light and shadow of fire magic in the sky, the frequent changes in the weather, the roar of guns and artillery, it was simply a perfect collision of science and metaphysics. They knew at a glance that they were just cannon fodder.

Especially the battle between Rich Burke and Aaron Ingersoll. One of them mainly uses long-range flintlock rifles and close-combat daggers, while the other is a warrior who uses big moves with full light and shadow effects from time to time. The two sides fight fiercely.

"These two are so strong!" said Wind Chaser and Thunderous Fury.

Shuidi Chenxing nodded in agreement, "Just stay at the side and assist. We can't defeat these NPCs at this stage."

"That's right, if we fight head-on now, we're just going to die," Jinse said helplessly. If you die in battle and don't have a priest to revive you, you'll lose 5% experience. In just one hour, you've already lost 1% experience. Just now, the aftermath of the battle between the two of them was enough to kill you instantly.

The fight was going on quite happily over there, while Zhou Ning could only stand there to recover. The previous battle had consumed too much energy, and he had to ensure that he had enough fighting power to end the battle with a crushing defeat.

Not long after, Richie Burke's side had suffered some casualties. Sheldon, the fire mage who had performed quite well before, was hit in the chest by a flintlock shot and suffered serious injuries. The firepower of the airship above was also stronger than he had imagined. The roar of artillery could be heard from time to time, making it look like a Kirov airship.

"It's time to get ready."

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning straightened his appearance, tightened his collar, smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, and walked towards the mirror.
