Chapter 15: Server Announcement

As the number of dead players increased, nearly a hundred pieces of various equipment dropped from the ground after the players turned into streaks of lights. But, there was only one high level of equipment, the light green bow.

The fact that there was equipment to use under the current circumstances was enough to show how great the hidden strength behind these guilds was.

Su Jin had killed a Boss by himself and killed other monsters. However, he only had a few pieces of equipment.

After his Fighting Aura Domain stopped, Su Jin turned around and looked around. He was satisfied, “Without those troublesome players, I can finally slay the Boss properly. However, I still have to thank the players from the guilds for coming to help me.”

The corners of Su Jin’s mouth curled up. He did not pick up the low-level equipment on the ground at all. He held his sword and rushed towards the Blue-eyed Spider.

…

At the revival point in the Novice Village, the president of the four guilds did not leave. Instead, they communicated with the administrators and made a final effort.

However, when they were still typing or imputing voice messages, the streaks of lights in the resurrection point did not end and attracted everyone’s attention.

“How can that damn sole player be so powerful?”

“This isn’t normal. That range and power the solo player has are like cheating. That guy must have a ‘cheating tool’ on him, right?”

“Who knows? That skill seems to be the Fighting Aura Domain of a warrior character that only a warrior that reaches Level 20 could obtain. The personal quest that I obtained has a description of it.”

“Damn that guy. It’s too late for us to go there now. He had taken the Boss.”

“We’ve lost most of our equipment. What should we do next?”

The players who had just come out of the resurrection point were all in a mess. They were all complaining to the players around them. None of them had ever seen such a situation before. What else would be cheating if a man killed nearly 1,000 players by himself?

Scarlet Rose, Tyrant Knight, and the others stared blankly at their guild players as they walked out of the resurrection point.

“What did you guys mean by what you said just now?”

“Can you tell us in detail what happened?”

“Did Heavenly Cloud single-handedly slay all of you? All the 1,000 players? Are you guys crazy?”

“This can’t be true.”

The four guild presidents asked one after another. Their moods were like a roller coaster, going up and down. They wanted to know the news, but they didn’t want to ask how that solo player humiliated them either. It put them in a state of dilemma.

At this moment, all the players that had participated in slaying Boss returned to the resurrection point. Naturally, they didn’t have any information they wanted to hide or were afraid of losing their reputation, so they had no intention of keeping what happened privately.

A female player from the Rosette Guild replied with a terrified expression, “President, after he slayed you guys, Heavenly Cloud started to attack us. His attack damage is powerful and slayed one player with one slash at a time. No one can stop him.”

“Then, for some unknown reason, he used a range skill and slayed as he ran. There was no time to react at all.”

Another Greed Wolf Guild player added, “Not only that, but we can also only see people dying. We have no idea where Heavenly Cloud is. It’s as if he is on stealth mode.”

“The last skill he used will kill anyone that goes near him within ten meters radius. It would get closer to us if we avoided it.”

“I asked just now. We only receive system notifications when we die.”

The four guild presidents frowned as they looked at each other in silence.

They began to doubt if Heavenly Cloud was using a “cheat tool”.

However, the four of them quickly dismissed this thought. The four leaders had great backgrounds, and they each had their sources of information. They knew some information about the situation. The solo player must be terrifying if he could cheat in the New World.

“Greed Wolf, what do you think?”

“What do you mean, what do I think? I think that Heavenly Cloud should have obtained a stealth mode skill, but why would Novice Village have the stealth mode skill?”

“It’s hard to say. Maybe the solo player encountered a hidden quest. Didn’t that guy buy the Wild Boar Tusks at the entrance of the Novice Village last time? Maybe the Wild Boar Tusks are for that. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any information from him.”

“Perhaps only that guy knows about the attack skills that are similar to the Fighting Aura Domain.”

“Stop! Stop talking all those nonsenses,” Tyrant Knight interrupted Greed Wolf and Scarlet Rose impatiently, “Let’s not talk about anything else right now. That guy stole our Boss. What do you guys plan to do? Just accept t? Or let a sole player take advantage of our guilds?”

“I think, let’s take this opportunity to make a statement. We can issue a warrant notice for him. We’ll teach him a lesson until he can’t be so arrogant anymore.”

“I have no objections,” The guild president of the Assassin Guild stated his support.

The guild president of the Greed Wolf Guild looked at Scarlet Rose, waiting for her to state her opinion first.

Scarlet Rose showed no fluctuation in emotion, but she was quickly pondering in her heart, ‘Should I join forces with Tyrant Guild and the others to teach that sole player a lesson?’

They were at the resurrection point, and the guild players were witnessing. If they went back on their words in the future, their reputation would rapidly decline. Then, they wouldn’t be able to get any members anymore in the future.

If they agreed, they would have to take action to make their stance clear.

“Teach Heavenly Cloud a lesson?” The scene at the entrance of the Novice Village flashed in Scarlet Rose’s mind.

Scarlet Rose had tried to compete with Tyrant Knight to get the sole player to join her guild, but she had failed even when she had offered ten times the price.

She thought twice and felt maybe she should wait and watch first.

Greed wolf didn’t state his opinion because Scarlet Rose had been silent. It was a moment of dead silence in the resurrection point. The guild players subconsciously stood on both sides, facing each other.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the Blackwater Cave, a loud sound echoed throughout the cave.

Su Jin relied on his agile body and footwork to dodge the Blue-eyed Spider’s attacks while slashing at it with all his might.

– 210

– 198

– 188

Although the Blue-eyed Spider’s defense was not bad, Su Jin’s attributes and equipment were not bad either when used together. Their battle was even, and the damage of his attack on the Boss was quite lethal.

However, it was too bad that he had used three minutes of the stealth mode to slay the guild players. He had only two minutes left and had wasted most of his five minutes.

Otherwise, he would have killed the Blue-eyed Spider by now.

Fortunately, Su Jin had intervened at the right time. As Su Jin continued to attack, he managed to slay the Blue-eyed Spider after three minutes.

Boom!

With a slash, the Blue-eyed Spider’s body fell to the ground at last.

…

At the same time, a server banner announcement appeared in the world chat room, and thousands of players in the Novice Village received the news.

“Ding! Congratulations to the player [Heavenly Cloud] for successfully killing the Blue-eyed Spider. His heroic performance will forever be recorded in the history of the New World.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the player [Heavenly Cloud] for obtaining rewards: Prestige of the Lion Kingdom × 1000, Silver Treasure Chest × 3, Attribute Points × 10, Gold Coins × 1000, Experience × 4000!”

“Ding! …”

“Ding! …”

The announcement repeated three times, and there was even a rolling announcement on the screen. It sounded like it was a massive event.

In an instant, the players of the entire New World were in an uproar. The news on the world chat room was like a snowflake as it flew over. The two words that appeared the most were “Heavenly Cloud”. Many wondered who the player was..
