War Grounds

Another thread was trying to make its way to the Top 3, and it was created by the famous game show host named Ringo . The thread was ent.i.tled "#LIDAR, THE KING OF BASIC ATTACKS IS UNDEFEATED NO MORE . "

"Lidar was ousted of the Undefeated Kings by a fellow member - 666666! The Human Warrior"s record is no longer perfect! Thoughts?" Ringo posted .

"Lidar deserved that, he"s a c.o.c.ky one!" Mad Monk was the first to comment, beating Senelcar .

"How can you say that?" Senelcar asked . There was just a one-second difference between Mad Monk and his comment .

"My friend is a member of the guild, Third Heaven . He said that when Lidar died, all of his equipment dropped, and all of them were common-type . That dude is overestimating himself!" Mad Monk replied with disgust .

"Well, isn"t that interesting? All this time, Lidar was wielding inferior equipment and still managed to rank at the top? However, 666666 caught him off guard with his hidden cla.s.s . Nasty!" A user named Bug Eyes joined the growing conversation .

"Woah, what does a top-tier G.o.d doing here? It"s an honor to have you in the conversation, Lord Bug Eyes . " Ringo suddenly fawned .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThe sudden arrival of Bug Eyes, a top player in the game, quickly garnered more comments for the post, pus.h.i.+ng Ringo"s thread to Top One for the day and spreading like wildfire the defeat of Lidar at the hands of Eternal Vespers" guild leader - 666666 .

South of Alistor City .

An enormous black dragon could be seen flying through the skyline . It kept on flapping its majestic wings and only stopped upon reaching a circular formation of brown boulders - a portal shrine .

"We"ll part ways from here on . I"ll send Borascca to take over Alistor, 34 hours from now . Fiao, I want you to investigate the perpetrators who planted the bombs in the city . Styx, use your connections to track down the silver-blood weapon . We"ll be needing that in the coming Rookie Challenge . " 666666 gave out instructions as the other party of players, most of whom were between Level 15-20, immediately gave way to the dragon as it landed on the portal"s vicinity .

"Borascca? Isn"t that an overkill? There"s no need to send your vice-guild leader to take over the city, 666666 . Just a special elite or your deputy would be enough . " Ealdama commented .

"Someone needs to set-up a shrine portal in that city and Borascca is the man for that job . " 666666 replied . "Invasions will be prevalent from here on, especially that we have revealed the Curse Spell . "

The other five members that rode the dragon nodded . Meanwhile, Fiao was already fully healed by Mourning Prost .

"Leave the investigation to me . I already have a lead, thanks to Mourning Prost . " Fiao responded .

"Good . Who?" Intrigued, Papa Dino asked .

"There"s only one player who"s capable of using grey flames - Gerd . That traitorous b.i.t.c.h was there in Alistor, and if my hunch was correct, the bombs came from his stupid brother, Yakouza . " Fiao surmised .

Everyone immediately shot an expectant look towards Mourning Prost . After all, Gerd was previously an upper echelon of his guild . The Undead Alchemist helplessly nodded in response as the goblin"s explanation made sense .

. . .

"Is it possible to set up a portal in the sp.a.w.n cities?" Al"s answer to SARS" question was also a question .

[ It is . However, the ruling guild will have to let go of the benefits of having guardians . This is the reason why only Quagmire and Breedfort City has a shrine portal . Their ruling guilds are confident that they could defend their turfs without the aid of these monstrous protectors . ], SARS responded .

"That"s the city of the Dwarves and Savages!" Al"s eyes immediately sparkled with hope . "What are the other options for Macca?"

[ It"s impossible without a shrine portal in Alistor . The travel time would be too long . For now, Papa Bear is your nearest ally . ], SARS explained .

"Tsk . " Al was in deep thought . He once again shot a look towards the Smokey Mountains of Ur . It was also a long stretch . "I"ll have to talk to them in person . " Feeling the weariness and fatigue, Al logged off the game, leaving his character on the outskirts of the forest .

Al yawned as he took off the gaming helmet . It was already 6:15 in the morning . He immediately went back to their bunker and found the other members pleasantly snoring . They were all d.a.m.ned tired .

With a heavy pair of eyes, Al quickly dozed off, not minding Bertran"s loud wheezing .

. . .

The flames caused by the explosions" aftermath in Alistor City was starting to dissipate . All the structures were charred black, and no forms of life could be seen, except for one item in the middle of the square plaza - an unscathed metal mask .

Yellow and silver lights suddenly s.h.i.+mmered as the item rose in the air amidst the churning waves of flames . It hummed as a golden silhouette of a Divine Brawler came out of the mask, like a genie appearing from a lamp - Yamasteh .

However, one would notice that Yamasteh"s body was filled with burnt marks, leaving some of his body parts with purple seared scars . The left face of Nisha seemed to be distorted, skinless pus with red viscid substances came out every now and then .

Yamasteh surveyed the surroundings . He seemed to be amazed at how he was not affected by the heat of the flames around him . It seemed weird . He immediately checked his status .

[ IGN: Yamasteh; Level: 76; Rank: Gold I; Race: Mutated (Half Demon-Half Divine) . . . ]

Nisha"s face in real life suddenly twitched . He was currently at his home as the workshop was closed due to the recent guild war .

"Things really come at a price . " The boy sighed; he should have been dead due to the explosions, but the silver mask that he wore was an Epic-Type Artifact that allowed its user to resurrect up to three times .

Nisha has already maximized the three resurrections . He was just keeping the mask for the sake of its attributes and aesthetic effects .

Previously, upon his death, he saw that revival was still possible . He clicked it out of curiosity and voila - his account got mutated . It was an incomplete one like RockSalt, barring him from using more than one cla.s.s skill .
