"As It Was Before" knew how these people were and was worried they would hurt Jack. So, she stood before Jack and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Fanatic Prince. I've pursued you for so long—it's not like you're oblivious to this. Tell me, where did this piece of trash come from?"
"He's my husband. Get lost! If you hurt him in any way, I'll make sure you won't live to see daylight."
"Haha!"
"Fanatic Prince" laughed maniacally. Then, he turned to Jack and said, "I don't know which hole you came from, but stop hiding behind the lady. Stand up and face me like a man."
"Don't engage, Jack."
"As It Was Before" quickly stopped him. She knew Jack's "amazing" gear set would never stand a chance against "Fanatic Prince".
However, Jack couldn't stay silent anymore due to his ego. He said, "'As It Was Before' is my wife. You'd better stay the hell away from her. Don't think I would be intimidated by your gear that I won't lay a finger on you!"
Instantly, all the Kings of the Infernal guild members burst out laughing as if they had heard the world's greatest joke.
"Fanatic Prince" laughed so hard that he almost fell backward. "Where did you get the balls to talk to me this way, you piece of trash? Don't think for one second that I won't lay a finger on you just because you're hiding behind a woman.
"As It Was Before, on the count of three, move the hell away. I want to fight this piece of trash alone. Otherwise, I'll kill you too. Then, I'll have you my way and kill you again if I have to."
"You want to hurt my husband, huh? Over my dead body!" Fearless, "As It Was Before" stood before Jack.
"You've asked for it!" "Fanatic Prince" roared.
"Fanatic Prince" was too powerful. He was decked in top-tier gear and had exceptional fighting ability in the game. Jack's gear was no match for him.
The only thing Jack could do was to use his swift hands to harass "Fanatic Prince", creating a window for "As It Was Before" to cause damage.
Needless to say, Jack's skills were exceptional.
Jack, a developer of the game, was well-versed in countless nuanced player-kill techniques. However, there was a significant gap in level and gear. To make matters worse, the gear "Fanatic Prince" used boosted speed and agility.
The moment Jack showed a slight weakness, "Fanatic Prince" grabbed the opportunity. His "Blue Divine Sword" sliced through the air in a deadly arc, landing squarely on Jack's avatar.
Jack's health bar plummeted instantly. He was on the brink of death.
