Chapter 145: Seize The Opportunity [2]

The reason for a person to wield a blade was not to fight but for one to survive, it was a tool for survival in the earliest days. One of the few households that know of such things is the Landers, a family that honed their abilities to wield the blade. No such prejudice against any kind of person, genders weren’t important size can be disadvantageous or not, this family, however, are at their declining age

[System: Alert!!!!! All of the players below LVL 25 will be immediately sent to the frontline of the breach area. The subquest [Defender] has been updated as a major threat it’s no longer labeled as a measly quest that can be ignored. The GM [Kishar] has transported the players that met his requirements, and the player known for his server name [Fanatic Ranger] has been given a bounty for his outrageous acts of messing with the system]

Western area

“Looks like they got every irritation out of our way, so how do you want to approach the remains of our enemy?” Silas parried a ton of arrows with a single swing of his sword that sends a powerful gust of wind to its enemies. Which pushes them up into the air where he lunges forth and used their bodies as a stepping stone, climbing to the top and controlling the wind that gathered his opponents

[System: The player Silas Landers has activated the skill Gale Blade first form Ascending dive. The player will charge up his mana to create a gust of wind that’ll pull every enemy into the air]

Before he released his attacks he send them falling to the ground at an incredible speed that broke every bone of their bodies. His body stopped in mid-air before it could land on the ground which he uses to safely land back in their area. Their enemies were frozen in fear and some of them even tried to run for their lives after they tried to use this situation as a means to ambush any player within their sight. Unfortunately, they were met with the most unforgiving bunch that slaughtered them without even a hint of mercy in their eyes

[System: The player Esther Landers has activated the skill Thundering flash step, granting the player a burst of movement speed. Paired with a lightning attribute giving the player can move without any sort of restriction to her movements]

No words to be uttered only their malice would be given back to the ones that mistreated these pair of siblings. No matter how frightening they were in the middle of a life and death situation, these two are a few players that even took pity on their foe. Instead of toying with their lives and making them feel an agonizing death, they would even go so far as to grant them a quick and painless death. Her movement was faster and more accurate than her previous ability, after her confrontation with her older sibling she became more adept at wielding her blade

“Great job there Esther, do you want to take a break? Sorry about that, just an old habit,” She took a deep breath and sighed after she found herself being patted by her older sibling. Knowing her behavior, he stopped after he realizes she had already grown up with the time that had passed

“It’s fine, I swore to Morris that I’ll try to connect with you, even if it takes a long time to recover our bond. I thought that guess of mine was right but seeing that you’ve never changed apart from that temper that’s being targeted to your previous allies. No doubt about it that you’re my brother, the only thing that changed is your goal I thought you wouldn’t stray away from our belief,” She hinted that his calm demeanor and his unrivaled sense of patience were no longer within his body. It was replaced with a grudge, anger, and lastly his raging thirst to splatter the blood of his former team

“Be that as it may, I have sullied our family name, I can no longer call myself a genius for I have succumbed to my anger. You’re different from me Esther, even though you killed so many people yet you never have any ill intentions to be seen leaking out as you swing your blade. I’m glad that you have come so far where I have strayed from being trapped within that place, so when are you being wed?” When she heard his last sentence to left his mouth she was shocked that made her swallow a ton of food that choked her before she manages to swallow it whole

“W-What d-do y-you mean by that? Wed, how could you say such a thing im still 17 you know,” Her face was flustered by the fact that a child could see through her feelings yet her sibling was able to see through her without any kind of hurdles to be seen

’Silas no way this idiotic brother of mine that is only knowledgeable about training could even see through my feelings?’

“I don’t know what you’ve just thought about inside your head but I’m a little irritated that I guessed it has something to do with me. What’s the problem with marriage our ancestors saw it as a blessing to be married at a young age. You do know that you can die as easily as breathing the fresh air of this world?” She was confused about how calm her brother was about this kind of topic. Normally he would’ve hunted down anyone that tries to take her hand when she was still a young innocent girl

“Still im a little surprised that you’re not trying to kill Morris, If you know so much that I have some feelings. Then it’s not that hard to discern that a few others are after him right?” She noticed his calm expression that she hasn’t seen even in her past, a face that doesn’t show any hint of ill intentions that could even mislead anyone about his real personality. Even the contracted deity that stayed with him for the past five years within the sealed trials was surprised that he could make such an expression

[Who the hell are you? I saw this player as I live and breathe where did you place my avatar, you crazy bastard]

“Isn’t it clear that he isn’t a man that has succumbed to his lust, I can’t even feel his intentions to be directed to a certain women. For that reason, I know that he is a man with many admirers yet he doesn’t pursue any kind of desire. Rather im a little disappointed with your feat, Esther would you mind telling me why is it that you’re the first girl he came in contact with, and yet you’re the least? The other admirers are far better that you can’t even compare, how is it that for such a person who belongs to the Landers family to be this hopeless?”

“What do you want me to do? I’m 17 years old,”

“Do you think age matters in this fight? Esther, didn’t anyone tell you that love is equivalent to war? Imagine the man’s heart to be the land that you wish to conquer but a rival nation is vastly approaching its destination. To think that you only mastered the art of the sword and have never stepped into the art of war, get up, after this mission of ours. Along with the success of eliminating the bounty hunter, I’ll be the one to help you, we’ve already restored our energy it’s about time that we make our move,”

Upon restoring their energy and filling their hunger with the rations they have left, the two of them left the battlefield that turned into the graveyard of their fallen adversaries. With the interference from the side where Hyunsu mutated the monster which borough the anger of the entity with his decision. He became a target of elimination making any player that kills him within their sight would be granted a reward

Southern Area

“Please don’t kill me!!!” The rest of the team that wasn’t affected by the order of Kishar, was slowly making their way into the circle of the supposedly the area where the targeted player resides. The destructive duo of the east, the monstrous siblings of the west, and lastly the other two remaining players join the fray. A humanoid beast and mutated player that can shift her body into a monstrous and frightening form was in the north

“I’m doing the same thing as you told me to do, great deity do we need to kill every last one of them?” Lillith asked the deity that she’s currently serving when she takes the position of a vassal once more

[Of course, if you have any kind of problems with this idea, you can voice it on Morris. I’m only telling you this because we need to lower the numbers of the players to a certain degree. As long as they see it as a losing battle, we can finally arrive at the finals step of our plans]
