Manhua/Chapter 12

Extreme Damage Cleaver Squad is the 12th chapter of The King's Avatar manhua.

Blue River and Ye Xiu come to an agreement, and they meet in-game for the first time.

Summary
Blue River and Ye Xiu, who is trying to get the most materials out of this deal, continue bartering over completing a record-breaking dungeon run together. After Blue River offers a compromise, they agree to meet at the Frost Forest. However, with the end of this conversation, Blue River realizes that he had diverged from his intentions. Originally, he wanted to strengthen a bond with the obviously skilled Lord Grim. But now, it is more like Blue Brook Guild is merely hiring an employee.

Everyone convenes at the Frost Forest entrance, but the Blue Brook Guild members are horrified when they see Lord Grim—he has no class and is wearing a mismatched, hodgepodge getup. Seeing this, they think he is a newbie who doesn't know that Unspecialized characters are obsolete now. In the past when the level cap was only 50, Glory has many aspiring Unspecialized characters. Since they were not locked into a single class, they could use a wide range of low-level skills. However, the developers did not want this playstyle to gain traction, so they raised the level cap and introduced the awakening quest, which only allowed those with a traditional class to level up past 50.

While the Blue Brook Guild members are talking, Ye Xiu works on upgrading his Myriad Manifestation Umbrella. Carefully applying the materials he had gathered earlier, he finishes the upgrade and equips the newly leveled weapon. When he is back, Blue River asks him to join Blue Brook Guild so that the guild's name is on the record list if they break the record.

Though they are prepared to enter, Ye Xiu stops them and says they need to change their party makeup. In particular, they need to focus on DPS, getting rid of the Cleric and Knight, who are healing and defense focused classes respectively. Flower Lantern, unhappy to be booted off the team, lashes out at Ye Xiu. But Ye Xiu is calm as ever; he says that he will control the aggro and would like control of the party. Flower Lantern storms off. Though Blue River is hesitant, Bound Boat whispers to him that they should see how it goes.
