Chapter 178: Spread Out

There comes a time when everything must end, lies must be revealed, and a better relationship will be born. Too bad im, not a generous person, face it im a clown through and through, but I do have my limits. The days when I simply interrupted the plans of my readers are no longer. The time has come wherein I raise my middle finger and stick it up on their ass!!!

[System: The player Christopher Morris has activated the skill [Mist array]. The surrounding areas have been covered with a blinding mist that lessens the sight of hostile forces by 25%. The player has amplified the effects and raised the blinding effect by 40% any enemies will have their visions lowered to a certain degree]

At the edge of one of the walls covering the location of the central base which belongs to the Guardians. A blinding mist engulfed the area at an alarming reach, and the guards that weren’t able to escape in time passed away. No one knows what occurred inside the mist, they couldn’t hear a single noise, and if they were it was the screams of their allies

[System: The player Christoper Morris has activated [The ring of the mist lords] 2nd option

Outcome: 139 mana has been taken from the player’s body, and the remaining amount has been taken from the mana flower. With the requirements that have finally been met, the Mist killers have been summoned. Any hostile forces in the mist have been targeted to be eliminated. The countdown from 10 minutes has started, we wish you all a wonderful day]

Their surroundings were engulfed by a dozen or so screams that immediately appear when one was about to disappear. The Mist killers were killing them in rhythm and a movement where they couldn’t predict the next attack to appear. For Morris’s team, it was a normal stroll after he finally reunited with his crew, for his enemies it was a living hell. What has supposed to last 10 minutes felt like an eternity. One by one they feel their bodies being shredded, torn apart, and punctured in every way possible

“Silas, the ones inside the mist are dead, we still have 5 minutes before this area of effect disappears. Can you assist my mist so it could uppermost of their fleets? I don’t care how many lives will be lost in the process, I had enough of their shit. It’s time for them to die and for us to have a breath of fresh air as soon as we annihilated them all,” The others were amazed at how their leader possessed such a powerful tool

“It’s my honor to be of great help to my future brothe~ im joking dear sister, your still the same as ever, can you put your sword down? The winds in my surrounding, obey my command and grant me the power to acquire a powerful gust of wind. Become a weapon at my hands and devour my foe with your might, Tempestuous arts, 1st form hurricane slash,” With a single swing of Silas’s blade he manages to accumulate a large wind pressure in a matter of seconds

At his front, he created a hurricane that devoured the mist entirely along with pulling their enemies. What was supposed to be a deadly area filled with an unknown danger lurks, it became a diabolical attack. The Hurricane slowly pulls them closer until it reaches the mist within. Not only was this destructive it even became a distraction for their small group to infiltrate the enemy’s central base

“Advanced great sword arts, Grand swing,” Before they could advance in their tracks, Erick threw an attack that killed a few players hiding in the shadows. Apart from using his heightened senses, he looted their corpse in hopes of finding a map and doing his part. In exchange for their assistance, he willingly gave away his knowledge as a beta tester

“Take this, it’s my notes that contain the knowledge every beta testers carry in their lives. Don’t forget that I signed a contract with you, even if I hate you for tricking me, I can’t possibly ignore the rules. Seeing as you’re here, you might as well join me since the one your after is with my allies as we speak,” When the two of them were about to part ways with the other members of his mercenary group

He looked at his back and sea his allies giving him a worrisome expression, after all, he was about to face a powerful foe. After learning about the abilities and the contract the Bounty Hunter made with an entity that feeds on the souls of its prey. Their reasonings weren’t able to reach him no more, the only thing they could’ve ever done was to send him off. Rather than a gloomy attitude, they displayed a facade that made him smile even for a second

“Geez, I don’t know if our captain is brave or just a suicidal maniac, but seeing as how he still retained his positivity. I can bet that he made a plan, Lillith, Quon, Kyo, and Gaust what are you staring at…? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the reason why we came here, it’s time to start our side of the story. So, it seems that you’re still the leader as it is, if you want to help him I can take over your role?” When it came to the role of a leader, Zeke prove to be the most suitable if the two were out of commission

He can see it in Jin’s eyes, yet he shakes off his concerns and laughs as hard as he can resulting in his change of expression. He acted like an outcast most of the time, but apart from others, he was overly concerned with his friend. Zeke mentioning it himself made it clear that he sees his friend as an object that he has to protect. But seeing how Morris has changed in the time he spent in this world, Jin couldn’t help but laugh

“No… Hehehehe, I don’t need to babysit that idiot… More importantly, I need you to guide those dunderheads, im sure they’ll cost you a few hiccups along the way. But thats a part of team management, you’ll need to learn more about their behavior if you want to lead them. As the vice-captain im putting you in charge of those kids, I can’t bring you into my mission, we need you more than ever. Do you think you can do that Quiet kid,” Whilst Esther and the rest were preparing their equipment for their separate mission. Jin chatted with Zeke to lessen his ever-growing tension when he was appointed as a leader

“I hate you two… Quiet kid thats the best nickname you could have given me?”

“Morris was the one that came up with it since it matches your looks, you’re a teenager, you look depressed. Last but not the least, you’re always quiet compared to the other members, plus you do remember the others came up with their aliases right…? You’re the only one that has requested a nickname from the lousiest person in the group,” In the middle of their chat, Jin gave him his newly enhanced pistol which opened a variety of ways for him to fight

“Y-you sure about this…? I thought you only make a weapon for those you have accepted as a full-fledged member. Am I even at that point? I just recently joined the team,” Zeke hesitated when he saw his weapon for the first time since he asked it to be repaired

[When did you make such a requirement?]

’Hephi, I don’t even know what he’s talking about, I always make a ton of weapons, the word “rest” doesn’t belong in my dictionary. If im a blacksmith I need to hone my talent as long as I could, im not a prideful idiot that wants money. Heck, I made what they requested as long as I have the needed materials for the weapon,’

[I was worried for nothing, also can you stop calling me that Hephi!!! I don’t know where that name came from, my name is Hephaestus]

’It’s your nickname, you should be proud since you’re always so offended if I casually call you by your real name. It’s not like I can say that if I desire to do so, aren’t you forgetting that it’s the activation requirement for manifestation? That’s the reason why I gave you a nickname,’

“Go ahead Zeke, I don’t have any requirements nor do I test someone before I make them their weapons. If you have what it takes for that asshole of a friend to make you a member without my permission. Then I can see that you are special, he not that open with his feelings and he mostly hides with his facade. He might sound like a prick but im sure that he means well, as long as you’re not a side character then your safe,” After he received his weapon, Zeke walk towards the tunnel where his mini squadron awaited his command

This wasn’t a normal fight where they’ll have to wing it like the time Zeke betrayed his former guild members to aid Morris in his quest. It was a mission where it could decide the fate of the world, whether these troublesome transmigraters were to meet their end. Or will they survive and grow their power without them ever noticing and once they’re capable, they’ll interfere once more? To make it so that they would never have to worry about these readers, they voted to eradicate them all
