755 Breaking Up

1 MONTH LATER.

A battlefield filled with corpses of over a million soldiers of different forces and species were littered across came into sight.

Most of these people were small forces and low-ranked individuals who had survived till now.

At this moment in the sky…

A ma.s.sive 500 meter greatsword composed of 5 different elements appeared and struck forward vertically.

BOOM!!

3 kilometers of region was slashed apart and the enormous monster army was destroyed, killing thousands of them in a single swing.

The monster army species was called Kikiba.

These monsters had short hands, heads akin to otters but their bodies were red and their back was filled with hundreds of pikes like a porcupine.

But what made these monsters extremely lethal against an army was their unbending numbers and incredible speed along with the ma.s.sive size as big as an ox.

Not only that, these monsters could use body-hardening magic while their sharp and steel-like teeth could rip apart a big chunk of flesh or wood in a single bite. Making them extremely hard to kill while also giving them the time to break past the defensive barriers as well as the shields of knights.

Even saint magicians in the sky were having a hard time maintaining their protection barriers for long.

The reason why over a million people died on this floor was because although there was an agreement, none of these forces fought like a single ent.i.ty but as their own.

No proud saint or leader of a ma.s.sive force liked to work under anyone else so they fought their battles with their own judgment and not under a unified front.

Even though 12 Valkyries was anointed as the leader 1 month ago, it was only on the surface at this point.

There had been many infightings and behind the scene politics for resources and harvesting materials.

Some people even went as far as secretly a.s.sa.s.sinating the rival group"s leaders, poisoning their rations or purposely leading a monster army towards their opponents to dwindle their numbers and tire out their forces.

Greed and l.u.s.t for power were very strong forms of motivation.

And although the previous agreement still stood… everyone present here was far from acquaintances or allies despite fighting together for a month.

This floor was floor 50. And after this floor, was the next floor boss.

Volleys of magic attacks, arrows and orbs of different elements landed on the ground.

Over 100 kilometers of the region this floor had was now a bloodied battlefield and humans, elves, demi-human as well as monster corpses filled the surrounding.

Their blood and guts spread a repugnant stench that permeated the region while the monster army didn"t stop at all.

"Stupid f.u.c.ks! They wouldn"t have lost all these people if they had listened to me." spoke Kahn as he launched another Dragon Strike attack while killing over 40 thousand Kikiba monsters.

All of his subordinates were also fighting on different fronts.

Although they looked like they were fighting with all their strength, most of the saints belonging to different forces were holding back.

Just today morning, they appeared on this floor and had the chance to progress easily.

But one of the 5th stage saints who came from a High n.o.ble"s forces demanded that they wanted half of the resources from this floor.

This made others unhappy because they too had to hunt for resources and earn money for their people.

Because of which, a fight broke and the 5th stage saint killed 8 Saints in a fit of rage.

Just because of the aftershocks from their battle… all the dormant kekiba monsters on this floor awoke and launched their entire armies from all sides.

Thus, it led to their current predicament.

[You know what… these s.h.i.theads can keep fighting between themselves and these monsters.

We no longer need to stick to the rules. We"ve waited and endured enough.] thought Kahn and in the following moments, not only him but all of the saints from Misthios stopped fighting.

Kahn in his Legolas persona contacted all the saints using a communication artifact.

[I have a proposition. My group has the skills and abilities to detect and kill the leader of this army that"s hiding somewhere.

Once the ringleader is gone, all of you can get rid of the mobs.] he proposed.

[And what do you want in return? If you"re after half the resources, then forget about it!] replied a 4th stage saint who led a business corporation"s forces that came from outside of Alfheim.

[Yeah, forget about it! We lost too many people because of that brute.

We won"t let their deaths go in vain.] responded another saint.

One after another, people started opposing without even hearing him first.

[Nothing about that. All I want is that after we help clear the floor, we get to enter the next floor first.] Legolas stated his condition.

But soon, he was replied with profanities and cursing. Because in their eyes, Misthios guild was after the next boss that"d appear on the next floor.

And he wanted all of that for himself.

Normally, if it was a normal floor, the monsters would be resp.a.w.ned by the dungeon within a day.

But a floor boss who appeared only after 10 floors took an entire week to resp.a.w.n after being killed.

If Legolas and his people killed it… there"d be nothing for them for another week.

Although they could rest and recuperate on the boss floor for a week… inside this dungeon, time was both money and resources.

It was more valuable than a person"s life.

After half an hour of discussion, Legolas yielded no result.

[I guess that"s the end then… we are officially breaking ourselves from the alliance.

Let"s see how many of you can progress to the next floor without us then.] responded Legolas in an exasperated tone.

From here on, each floor would be a.s.sociated with a law of reality. He no longer had the patience to look after weaklings.

Today"s incident had already created an unrecoverable gap in their alliance and Legolas had no care for the fate of these people fighting.

None of these warriors belonged to his guild and he wasn"t responsible for their lives.

It was time to do things their own way and progress at their own pace.

Finally, Kahn gave a command to one of his generals.

[Blackwall, do it!]
