Chapter 47: Shock Waves

In this battle, the party got closer and closer together and had even started forming friendships. While they also began to see Yone in an even greater light, they even added him to their friend list.

Yone was delighted and accepted all of their invitations, even Amy!

Not bad, if they keep tryharding to such levels and make as few mistakes as they doing, we can finish the last boss with ease and I’ll easily break through to level 8 and even fill it up to half.” Yone thought, pleased by the decision to contact Life and Silent Wall that day and agree to her proposal and add the latter.

But what Yone didn’t know was that the main reason all the party was performing this great was not due to their gameplay getting even better like he assumed, that was a part of it indeed. The main reason, however, was their fear of getting kicked out of the party!

Indeed!

All of them placed all of their hearts and minds into minimizing their mistakes as much as possible after clearing the first boss, in hopes of actually clearing the hell mode dungeon and increasing their levels plus gear.

Another thing was…

So Yone thinks about them the moment he plans on doing another run to a new dungeon or even the same one in the future!

At this moment, the gaze of everyone looking at Yone was completely different, for real this time around.

Before, they merely felt that Yone was an expert, unlike the comments about him on the forums. Now, however, Yone was a strong player; they followed his every word, they even faintly grown a sense of reverence towards him.

What made them feel that way except for his leadership and strategies, was his astonishing gameplay that left them in shock upon seeing it. He had cleanly tanked 15 monsters at one point and not gotten hit by a single attack, that even Calm Sea herself doubted her role in the party and whether she should just leave.

This clearing speed continued for the next 2 bosses, and the party levelled up thrice since only bosses gave EXP in Death Stone, cause the system made it hard to level, therefore only dungeons past level 10 would have scattered monsters give out EXP.

The run was going pretty fast, and added to their insane levelling speed, even the forums erupted with discussions.

Moreover, thanks to the four bosses’ EXP and them reaching the first few bars of level 5 with Yone stepping into half way through level 7, all the party entered the leveling ranking. Although at the bottom, it was still an astonishing feat since kicking down the top 10 guild’s top experts from the Golden Gate Kingdom was a feat none dreamed of on Eclipse online.

Subsequently, Yone took no breaks as he liked this kind of performance and the training he was having, and didn’t like it to suddenly stop. Stamina was also not a factor in the game yet, and to train one’s mind and reflexes, one needed to push them to the limits.

Outside the Death Stone dungeon, Hell had an ugly expression on his face as someone on his friend list, specifically at the VIP section he placed, was calling him. His finger hesitated for a moment before he responded.

“Sir, I…” He was gonna speak, but was immediately cut off.

“You are ordered to recall all the twenty members you ordered to siege the dungeon this instant, you are also gonna be paying for wasting the time of the seventh legion and stagnating this team’s leveling speed. No questions asked, do or leave!”

“I…,” Hell didn’t even get a chance to respond before the call ended, his expression unsightly as he clenched his fists tightly.

Taking a deep breath and slowly releasing it, Hell moved his finger to a specific player on his friend list and called. The call instantly got picked up,” Yes, leader? Your orders.”

“Call everyone to go and do their things, we have waited for long enough. Also, compensate them for their time wasted and help them level up for half the time they spent in here waiting for their orders, understood?” Hell ordered, his voice sharp as he left no room for denial.

Clean Shot’s heart clenched hearing his words as he knew there was no way in hell that Hell would give him such an order,’ Thank god the elders have spoken, or else our whole squad would have been done for.’ Heaving a sigh of relief inwardly, he respectfully replied.

“Yes, legion leader, think of it as done!” With that, he hung up the call and burst into action as he gave out orders one after the other.

Standing in front of the dungeon with a livid face, Hell stared at the gate with varying emotions,’ How the hell are they still inside for 10 hours straight, this is a fricking hell mode dungeon for fuck sake.’

Hell’s face turned red from embarrassment after he got news of Requiem party leveling up like crazy and even breaking through the top 20 rankings, given the fact that he couldn’t even finish hard mode dungeon and had to stop before defeating the second boss, his reputation got a significant hit inside of Golden Gate Kingdom.

To make matters even worse, the influence encompassed his whole party and not only him; they gradually started to feel anxious the longer that Requiem’s team stayed inside. Their resolve to wait for the dungeon time, which is 7 hours, and give it another try was weakening.

***

The forums were bursting with discussions as countless people took notice of Legends’ Seventh Squad plan, but what made it even worse was their taking notice of Requiem’s party progress.

“Hey, did you hear that Hell, the squad leader of the seventh legion, is seemingly awaiting Requiem to take him down from rank 1 on levels? He had gathered a whole team composed of twenty ranked players famous throughout End World to kill him off.” One guy commented, loving the drama and fight, as he even left leveling and went to watch from afar.

“Hahaha, old news, old news, my little friend, let father tell you about the real hot news. Hell had already ordered his party to call off the operation and is now fuming with anger and embarrassment. It is expected from a squad leader who is known to be a loser after what he did when he was the vice guild-leader of Legends 5 years ago.” Another play corrected, looking down at the guy who was living under a rock.

“I’ll add to this real quick and make it even a bigger thread. Requiem’s team is leveling at an insane speed and has broken through the rankings of the top 20 in our kingdom, It seems like they clearing bosses on hell mode and not just standing idle inside so as to not get embarrassed when they leave.”

Hiss!

With that comment addition, the whole forum section of Golden Gate Kingdom went silent as even their breaths got taken away.

Just like that, a lively discussion broke out…

Legends, an already established ranked first guild for years, was an extremely famous guild, hence many opened betting channels on them being the first in every single dungeon run in every kingdom in Eclpise Online, with the vast majority not taking the risk and only opting for 10 Kingdom firsts runs.

Yet, here they are facing a high chance where all of their bets would go to ruin just because a random party has been in hell mode for more than 10 hours.

While everyone was going crazy outside and forums were bustling with discussions about Legends and Requiem’s party.

The party had finally reached the final boss!
