This scene was simply too eerie; many players didn't even know that such a terrifying item existed in the game.
It could actually summon the spirit of a demigod to slaughter the enemy, and what was more horrifying was if they couldn't kill the enemy, they had to kill the praying priest—spooky and dreadful.
Although it was very powerful, it harmed both foe and friend alike. They didn't understand why Li Yao would choose to commit suicide—could he have known about this eerie item?
If he knew about such eerie things, what did that imply? It implied that Starfire also possessed these eerie items.
Many players, particularly those from the large guilds, craved such items; after all, it was a formidable trump card that could kill the enemy as long as enough sacrifices were made.
This was entirely manageable by finding a lower-level lifestyle player to act as a substitute. For the large guilds, the loss of levels wasn't too big of an issue.
