This violet epic ring was taken from the Alliance Army treasury by Dawnwind last time. Because it didn’t suit him, it had been sitting in storage, intended for future equipment synthesis. Unexpectedly, he now obtained the Magic Ring. What Dawnwind truly desired was the skill attached to the Ring of Space-Time—if it could be merged into the Magic Ring, it would be truly monstrous.

Devour: Consume other magic rings to comprehensively enhance the ring’s attributes
Description: Every space connected to the continent of Augras possesses a Magic Ring.
Space-Time Traversal: Space-time skill. You slip into space-time, able to instantly move within a 100-meter radius. Every attack during this period is guaranteed to be a critical hit, lasting 8 seconds, with a maximum of five instant moves. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Cost: None.
“As expected, the Magic Ring is the strongest synthesized equipment!” Dawnwind had heard before that the Magic Ring was the most powerful combination equipment, and now he witnessed it firsthand. The three best effects from the Ring of Space-Time had all merged into the Magic Ring, and all attributes were strengthened to an extraordinary degree.
The Magic Ring’s original 5% lifesteal was already formidable; paired with Dawnwind’s Blood Dragon Ring set, it could reach 25% lifesteal. If transformed into a Blood Dragon, the lifesteal effect would soar to 32.5%, nearing the limit of 35%—at that point, the Blood Dragon’s survivability would be further enhanced. The 10% immunity to all attacks was decent; if that chance increased, it would be utterly overpowered.
Dawnwind’s main goal in merging the Ring of Space-Time into the Magic Ring was the attached skill. If used by a Berserker, it would be devastating—five consecutive Furious Slashes in a row. In the arena, as long as the opponent didn’t use a skill granting over 80% damage reduction, he could almost certainly one-shot them. The ability to freely teleport within 100 meters was extraordinary, surpassing even thieves in ambush capability.
A bountiful harvest!
Besides the Magic Ring, Dawnwind also looted a white gold coin from the Scarlet Dragon of Storms, bringing his total to three. One white gold coin could be exchanged for fifty thousand gold coins. Given the current rate of inflation, by the time they reached the world map, Dawnwind might become a minor tycoon. Currently, he used his coins to open ancient treasure chests, planning to exchange a white gold coin for liquidity—but the thought of its value made him hesitate.
“Dawnwind, the president of Storms Guild is here with people asking you to hand over the white gold coin dropped by the Scarlet Dragon.” Cheng Xue sent a message, telling him to return. Many knew Dawnwind had slain the Scarlet Dragon, and though his alt had not joined Frost Snow Guild, everyone knew he was connected to them. Unable to find Dawnwind, they naturally sought out Frost Snow Guild.
“I’ll be right there!” Dawnwind guessed that not only Storms Guild but other guilds would show up as well.
When Dawnwind arrived at Frost Snow Guild’s headquarters, he found a crowd at the entrance. He transformed into a raven and flew into the hall, where many guild executives were assembled.
“So many people—are you all waiting for me?” Dawnwind was unfazed by the gathering of so many experts. Rather, his entrance caused everyone to stand up and glare at him.
“You must be the King of the Jungle!” The Paladin in silver armor looked at Dawnwind. Seeing his title marked him as the president of Storms Guild, Dawnwind knew he was Storms Five Young Masters, here to reclaim the white gold coin. “If you return the white gold coin, Storms Guild will let this go.”
Other guild experts felt Storms Guild was extraordinarily lucky—getting a white gold coin from a guild raid, a feat no other guild worldwide had achieved. But what good was luck, if the prize was snatched? A white gold coin was worth fifty thousand gold coins, enough to jump-start a guild’s development, and losing it was unacceptable—everyone wanted it back.
“That trash bin dropped my Magic Ring and white gold coin, and I killed him in return. You still dare to ask for the coin back?” Dawnwind ignored them; why should he return what he’d rightfully claimed?
“The property of Storms Guild must be returned, even if you picked it up! If you don’t give it back, watch your step when leaving the main city!” Storms Five Young Masters couldn’t afford to antagonize Frost Snow Guild—a beauty guild that would quickly ally with others if made an enemy. Moreover, Dawnwind wasn’t a member of Frost Snow Guild, just a helper.
Dawnwind shrugged and spread his hands. “I’ll return the favor—watch your step when you leave the main city!”
Threaten him? Dawnwind was never afraid. Even as a Warrior, he’d never feared Divine War Guild; as a Shapeshifter, he had even less reason to fear Storms Guild. If he encountered this guy in the wild, Dawnwind wouldn’t hesitate to kill him and force him offline.
“I look forward to it!” Storms Five Young Masters was already annoyed at losing a white gold coin, and Dawnwind’s arrogance only made it worse. He smiled coldly, eager to see how Dawnwind would leave the city in the future—then he’d kill Dawnwind, reclaim the white gold coin, and loot the Magic Ring.
Storms Five Young Masters left with his group, but a few remained—professional players from Thunderstrike Team. Their captain, Wind Rise Cloud Move, rarely appeared in public, but now he was here. When Dawnwind entered, he noticed him immediately; among those present, this Hunter was the only one who gave Dawnwind a sense of danger.

“Hello! I am Wind Rise Cloud Move, captain of Thunderstrike Team.” He introduced himself, then said, “I’m here to buy back the Blood Magic Ring. It’s a key item for one of our quests.”
“Not for sale.” The Magic Ring was unique to the China region, and Dawnwind would never sell it. Besides, he’d already fortified it—why return it? If Thunderstrike Team failed to recover it from Divine War Guild, that was their problem. Dawnwind wasn’t about to play the good guy and give it back.
Wind Rise Cloud Move frowned; the Magic Ring was crucial, not just for its attributes but for their quest. Since Dawnwind wouldn’t sell, he was out of options. He knew Dawnwind was a top player—even he wasn’t confident he could win. Originally, he’d intended to challenge Dawnwind for the ring, but changed his mind upon seeing him.
“Perhaps you could lend us the Magic Ring? We’ll return it after completing the quest. Thunderstrike Team will guarantee it.” Since Dawnwind refused to sell, borrowing was the only option. The Magic Ring was incredibly powerful, but now belonged to Dawnwind—not Thunderstrike Guild. Wind Rise Cloud Move only hoped to finish the quest.
Cheng Xue and the others were surprised that Thunderstrike Team would offer their team’s guarantee to borrow the ring. Zhang Xinting was especially astonished—the captain himself had come to negotiate, setting aside his status.
“No. The Magic Ring is safest in my hands—I don’t want any accidents.” Handing it over felt risky; what if they got killed and lost it? Dawnwind intended to enter the world map soon, track down Magic Rings in other regions, and snatch them to strengthen his own.
Wind Rise Cloud Move seemed to have anticipated Dawnwind’s answer, replying calmly, “You’ve only seen the surface attributes of the Magic Ring. Only by completing the quest will its hidden abilities be revealed. If you’re not interested, I won’t insist.”
As a scattered artifact and the sole Magic Ring in the region, the Blood Magic Ring had more than just surface attributes. Other regions had completed the ring’s quest and learned some of its legends.
“That’s a good reason.” Dawnwind knew the Magic Ring surely had hidden attributes, and must have an epic storyline. He agreed, but imposed conditions: “You must make a public guarantee, and I must participate in the quest. The ring stays with me for security.”
“Agreed. We’ll notify you in advance before the next step of the quest.” Wind Rise Cloud Move breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Dawnwind was willing to proceed, that was enough. He added, “Many know you have the Magic Ring—be careful when leaving the city.”
If Dawnwind were an ordinary player, Wind Rise Cloud Move would try to kill him for the ring. Thousands had besieged Dawnwind in vain; even Wind Rise Cloud Move might not be a match. Dawnwind was skilled, but accidents happened—Thunderstrike Team had been tricked by Divine War Guild, so he offered a warning.
“No worries—plenty want to kill me, but few can.” Dawnwind was confident; so far, few had better gear or skills, and he wasn’t worried about losing the ring.
“Nightfall Organization.” With that, Wind Rise Cloud Move departed with his team. He only wished Dawnwind would keep the ring safe until the quest was finished. Otherwise, finding a replacement would be troublesome.
Nightfall Organization? Dawnwind knew them well—one of the gaming world’s top three assassin groups, specializing in killing players for loot. Dawnwind himself had been a member of Cobra Organization and done similar work. Now that he had the Magic Ring, players eager for it would do anything, including hiring an assassin group.
Indeed, if someone hired an assassin group or if Nightfall Organization targeted Dawnwind’s Magic Ring, it was possible they could succeed. Still, Dawnwind wasn’t too worried; this alt had excellent stealth and survival abilities—finding him would be difficult.
Having obtained the Magic Ring, Dawnwind didn’t bother with tribe strongholds, instead logging off to sleep and wait for tomorrow’s dungeon. The level 25-30 Troll’s Wrath heroic dungeon wasn’t easy; Dawnwind had never run it before, and charging straight in would be tough. For the sake of racial advancement, he could only give it his all.
