In the end, One Man Army and Unsurpassed Defense failed to find a logical answer to their doubts. No matter how much they thought about it, they could not make sense that a support class could actually cause more damage than a battle class. Leaving aside Unsurpassed Defense whose class was Shield Guardian, One Man Army was a powerful summoner but even his beasts united could not cause damage as shocking as that of Mu Wuying.
After hesitating for a few seconds, One Man Army could not help but ask:
"So, what kind of buffs can your class provide? I mean, to support us in the ongoing battle."
"I'm sorry, but I can't give you or anyone else a buff either."
Mu Wuying shook her head. She naturally knew what One Man Army meant by his words, however, as she mentioned earlier, her Spirit of Love class was a very special class and was very different from the other battle or support classes.
"What do you mean?" Unsurpassed Defense frowned deeply and grumbled. "You're not willing to help even in this situation? You know that if we do something wrong, one of the four major cities of the Adastreia Continent will fall and we will be blamed by everyone. Even under such a situation are you not willing to help?"
Hearing Unsurpassed Defense's words, One Man Army frowned slightly but said nothing. Although he somehow felt that Mu Wuying had her own problems and Unsurpassed Defense's accusation was a bit too much, he preferred to see how Mu Wuying responded. After all, he had his doubts too.
As for Mu Wuying, she simply looked at Unsurpassed Defense for a moment and then simply ignored him; she began to touch some of her window panels without saying a word.
Unsurpassed Defense was furious at being ignored and his body shuddered slightly as he clenched his teeth.
On the other hand, One Army Man could not help but smile bitterly at this. Unsurpassed Defense was almost 40 years old but he was clearly not good at controlling his emotions; he would even get angry without anyone saying a single word.
"You can see for yourself." After a few seconds of silence, Mu Wuying looked at One Man Army, the only seemingly dignified person to talk to in this place, and showed him a part of her status window.
One Man Army wasted no words and began to read the information written on the window in front of his eyes.
[Player Name: Mu Wuying -
Level: 14
Title: None
Class: Spirit of Love
Class Description: You are the incarnation of love in person. Your love for your beloved can hardly be surpassed. You are willing to sacrifice your life, your blood, your flesh, your soul, and every fiber of your being for the sake of the one you love.
Current status: In love.
Class Limitations: The Spirit of Love's powers only have an effect on the beloved and cannot be used on a second person. The Spirit of Love can only love one person in a lifetime and when the beloved's life comes to an end, so will the Spirit of Love's heart.
((Special)): You will become stronger and stronger the stronger you love your beloved. Receive innately 50% of the physical or magical attack power of the person loved by the Spirit of Love. This condition has not yet reached its maximum form.]
That was all the virtual window said; there was nothing else there. Mu Wuying only showed the parts she considered necessary to end the problem, but she did not show what kind of skills her class had as it would expose too much of her strength. Many might think that her class was weak as it had many limitations, but only Mu Wuying knew how powerful she currently was and how powerful she could become in the future.
When Mu Wuying obtained her Spirit of Love class she was not too surprised, after all, most of the Espers in her Mu Family possessed a skill that involved the heart. Mu Wuying's entire family knew that she had the ability to become much stronger than Yao Mei, for that reason, Mu Wuying was always treated with care, respect, and admiration by her entire family. However, due to a certain event that happened in the past, everyone assumed that her skill had been disabled. Until now, only she herself knew that not only had she not become a cripple, on the contrary, with each passing day she only became more powerful.
Although the window Mu Wuying had limited information, it was enough for One Man Army to nod silently. He finally understood what Mu Wuying wanted to explain.
"Indeed, Miss Mu's class is too strange." One Man Army nodded and apologized. "I'm sorry for doubting before. It's just that something like this has never happened before."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, One Man Army couldn't help but ask, "But, to receive 50% of another person's physical or magical damage as a bonus? That's really scary! I wonder who's the lucky one?"
"Hehe, that's a little secret.... Although it might not be so secret if you think about it carefully." Mu Wuying chuckled softly and did not answer directly.
One Man Army laughed out loud as well and did not say anything else. In fact, he had his own conclusions about it. After all, Mu Wuying's magic damage was approximately 650 but the damage she could cause was over 1100; One Man Army believed that only one man could do that with only 50% of his damage, Mu Wuying's power would soar to completely new heights.
Getting 50% of another person's physical or magical damage was terrifying, much more terrifying than it seemed. At the current stages, Mu Wuying received "little" benefit because the game had just started not long ago, but when the game entered its final stages and the equipment along with the players' stats reached the peak, the 50% increase Mu Wuying would receive would be an astronomical amount of power!
The scariest thing of all was that One Man Army had forgotten that Mu Wuying's Spirit of Love class was only in its initial stage! How powerful would she be when her class went through an upgrade at level 50? And at level 100? How strong would she will be?
No one knew.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Unsurpassed Defense frowned feeling displeased at being left out of the conversation.
"Now I understand the reason why you and your group were killed by a King grade boss in the past, causing you to be kicked out of the ranking of the top ten players with the highest level in China." Mu Wuying looked at him for a moment and then shook her head and prepared to fight.
One Man Army sighed and briefly explained without giving too much detail Mu Wuying's situation to Unsurpassed Defense. He only said the basics because since Mu Wuying did not share her window with him, he meant that she did not wish to share too much information with Unsurpassed Defense; One Man Army, who was a straight man, would not go against her wishes.
Soon, the defensive battle in which the players fought the first real challenge to protect the city behind them, broke out in full force not only at the east gate; north, west, and south, they found themselves in dangerous situations.
* * *
-South Gate
[Redemption Stab!]

Xie Feng fiercely stabbed the monster in front of him and killed it with a single attack.
Since several minutes ago, the 3rd wave of monster attack on the city had begun. Although the number of enemy monsters was smaller, the power was much greater. Everyone knew that it would be very difficult to overcome the remaining two waves after overcoming the current attack wave.
Like the east gate, the south gate of Eminentis City faced three different types of monsters.
[Great Whale Soldier -

HP: 1500

[Mutated Sea Horse Soldier -

Xie Feng and his group had no choice but to split up after they realized how troublesome the third wave monsters was. Even Gu Qianxue had no choice but to fight after resting for twenty minutes.
Although Xie Feng wanted her to rest, Gu Qianxue firmly refused. Xie Feng was also grateful for this since the help of a powerful mage like Gu Qianxue was really needed at times like this.
While Gu Qianxue together with Xiao Luo's trio focused on killing the Mutated Sea Horse Soldiers, Xie Feng concentrated on killing the Great Whale Soldiers who had superior defense and could become a problem for normal players.
On the other hand, most of the players concentrated on killing the Shark Soldiers which, although they possessed a high attack, their defense and health were below average; thus, overwhelming them with numbers should be fine.
