Chapter 128: You’re Next [3]

Bearing animal masks to hide their identity from the public, this group of players took the whole world by storm. Mostly known for their reputation for stealing any sort of treasure they deemed to be dangerous, they act like a symbol for in truth they’re only a bunch of fucking thieves. Yeah, you heard what I say these assholes have stolen a ton of early game weapons alongside items that would’ve eased the Trials but no! They’re a bunch of fuckers that know how to piss someone off

[System: You’ve entered the enigma chat box

Raging Beast: Boss how are you we’ve been waiting for your reply

Wise Apprentice: Take me with you master!!? I can’t take it anymore, I can’t imagine myself surviving another night stuck with this idiot

Benevolent Sage: No can do all of you are burned the penthouse we stayed at has been destroyed

Fanatic Ranger: By who?

Ignorant Smith: Let me guess this is the guy that called himself the “Bounty hunter” am I correct

Thousand Swing: I’ve heard about this player before I met you guys, a player known for its feat of killing a ton of rising stars in the world of trials

Void Walker: No freaking way the Bounty hunter? Get out of here I’ve heard a lot about this player

Benevolent Sage: Good a lot of you know of this player’s identity, so without further ado. All of you except for me will regroup and meet each other in the trials. Never put on your mask until I say so got it?

Sharpened Edge: Your gonna fight the Bounty hunter? I can help if it’s only a single person then we wouldn’t have a problem

Benevolent Sage: Yeah a single person that’s been weaponized by those mask bastards calling themselves the Guardians. Well, I think all of you should work on the trials, monsters and players are different from one another. Monsters have a fighting pattern, players don’t apart from equipment given by those thieving scum it’s a player that placed all of its skills and attacks to one shot people

Ignorant Smith: If you think that player is a little hard to deal with, you can always use the portable teleportation scroll right?

Benevolent Sage: Of course now hurry up and regrouped with the rest I’ll bait the player out by myself]

Upon leaving their chat box, Morris was dangling from the rooftop terrace before he lunges at another on this cold and dreary night. His destination was a particular area managed by the system, where he could interact with a player that wasn’t able to partake in this trial. Entering the area whilst in his view projected an image of a man that he came to bargain with after he needed a few items

[System: The network has given the chosen Player ID an invitation to your room, the player Agni Felgir has entered the network]

“I’ve never thought I’d finally get to see yo~”

“You got some fucking balls you asshole!! What part of not revealing my identity and not just anyone? It’s the fucking Velvet queen are you out of your mind and why are you still alive I can still feel the life and death contract. You’ve violated our pact why aren’t you dead!” Furious he was about the persons standing before him without any casualties occurring to his body. He couldn’t ignore the fact that his still alive even after breaking one of the rules Morris applied within their signed contract with one another

[I’ve never seen him this angry before]

[Seriously Sage? I think he’s pissed every day as he lives and breathes]

“Of course, I’ll have a way to cross over that contract we carry, but I didn’t forget about our agreement with each other. You said as long as im sure that no harm would befall you if I were to sell your information, then im free to use it as much as I want… Well let’s get back on track, shall we? You’re not the type of person who likes to have a small chat with his boss,” Only a few seconds have passed yet the atmosphere around the two would turn into a suffocating and tense situation. When the divider between the two disappeared without a single trace of the cause, they were left unattended by the system. When the two of them wielded a pair of matching orbs that seems to have meddled with their surroundings

[System: #*#**#*#*#**# An unknown error has occurred within the network housing Christopher Morris and Agni Felgir. Processing emergency procedures #**#*#**#*#**# error threat has been neutralized, we wish you a good day]

“That was a close one right?” They completely fooled the system by projecting an exact copy of the divider through their magical artifact. Whilst the real divider was temporarily broken when the two placed a ton of pressure on both sides, making him able to cross over to the real world to enter the shop after his travels that took forever to accomplish

“Put this on it’ll mask your identity while you’re here did you place the item on your side of the network?” Agni gave him a valuable artifact he gained over the years that masked his presence on the other side whilst their decoy acted like an mp frequency projector that matches his own

[System: You’ve been influenced by the ability within a certain magic artifact, your body has now entered a state where no one above its grade can detect you]

“It’s a little weak but I could sense it a skill that originated from Zeus, I thought I was going crazy for a moment. But sensing your body at this range where my skill can detect you, I can see that you’ve been using it a lot. Normally a person would’ve suffered a backlash against the skill, even after 22 uses youre still able to walk, what a fucking monster you are,” Agni took a glimpse into his mana circuit that was completely different from the way it used to look when they first met. Something was changed along with a bit of tampering with its positioning that would’ve been a hassle to acquire

’He must have seen it? It’s a great idea that I didn’t kill off Blake when I had the chance, by the time he acquired needle arts and acupuncture. I gave him a pattern with an exact match for my circuits after that he just tampered with a few stuff until I can safely inject my body with a hundred mana without any backlash,’

“Looks like I didn’t have to say it for you to believe if I say that your master is trying to reach in any kind of way. Let’s hope that I survived first seeing that stingy deity gave someone a powerful skill means they have a lot of expectations for me. I wouldn’t want to let them down, do I?” He hinted that his in a need of a few pieces of equipment after Agni notices that he appeared without any kind of protection within his body. There wasn’t even a sign of his black robe that covered most of his body when he was still active as his private mercenary

“Sigh… What do you want?” He took a deep breath and ask him about the items that’ll be used for his expedition

“Seriously? You don’t have the right to feel irritated damn it, take responsibility for selling my information. I know for a fact that the Velvet queens pretty loaded with tokens even for a measly 25 percent of her overall money is a bountiful treasure for anyone to desire. Sure this oh-so-great boss of mine will surely give me a great piece of equipment hmmm?” After a few tries of breaking down his facade, Agni gave in to his request after he brought his master along with his situation where he could’ve endangered his contractor

[You’re pretty good at picking some unique and situational items that can be used at any given time. Rather are you sure this is everything you need? That bastard of a boss you have has a ton of treasures lying around every corner of his store]

[Sage, are you stupid or something? Who would use a sacred treasure to annihilate a single player that’s not even in the ranks of a Guild leader? Honestly, if any other deity aside from he heard of this they would’ve seen your ascension to the sacred realm as a fluke]

“Knock it off will ya? I’m trying to focus on my next move over here, I think that’s everything we can now enter into the trial once more… What’s this a gift for me?” Agni threw an item at his back that he crashes without even looking to his side

“Take it, it’s like a parting gift or something like that, I might have been a little skeptical about you for the fact that you’ve known so much about me and my real identity. Seeing is believing to think that even that stingy God would even give you such a skill then it’s not bad for me to be tricked if Zeus was the first to fall into your tricks. Be back once you’ve completed the main trials, we can’t meddle with the system like this ever again! So the next time we meet it’s going to be the day you finished this trial,”

Not even a word for him to give to his long-awaited reunion with one of the most important characters to be known. He stepped into the other side before the divider would close between the two different dimensions that were to be sealed once more

He found himself alone when he first started on his journey to the mysterious world that is his novel. No companions, no connections to any powerful organizations, walking around aimlessly with his only companions to be his familiars and his most trusted right hand would be his weapons

He sets off on a journey through the cold and freezing road that leads to the ice kingdom where he placed every target that wanted him dead to lure. The biggest catch of them all was a player that wielded the most advanced and powerful set of Emory within his current story

’First, it was Deniro, second, it was Theodore, and now you’re next on my list of targets. I don’t know what you look like or even your gender, but the greatest advantage that I have is the fact that you wanted to hunt me. So let’s meet within the ice kingdom, apart from you I need to conduct some research about these guardians or whatever their name was. To think that they sponsored you to give me a run for my money, I wonder what kind of fight I’ll recurve within this trial,’
