Chapter 441 - Clas.h.!.+

After about an hour of traveling, Liam and Luna were almost close to the spot where the rest of the group was currently waiting for them.

However, just as they reached that zone, Liam received another message from Mei Mei.

"Brother, some other guild members are here. They are not letting us pa.s.s through. They are also not letting us leave. They want us to pay 10000 gold coins as fees first."

"For now, we managed to escape them and we are hiding in this spot, but not I don"t know how long we will be able to hold them off?"

"Shall we leave? They have too many numbers on their side. What should we do?"

 "Hmmm?" Liam who was busily scanning the sky and the grounds nearby for his pursuers saw this message and rolled his eyes. "Who are these guys now?"

He had wanted to take refuge in some dungeon and grind peacefully but that did not seem to be possible now. Who was this new b.a.s.t.a.r.d making his life harder?

"I will be there shortly. Stay put." Liam messaged the group and the duo started traveling at top speed to their destination.

"Wait Luna, don"t go in just yet."

Kyuuuu.

The fox landed near the outskirts and Liam hopped off and entered [Stealth] mode.

"It"s better to be cautious for now. There shouldn"t be many players here just yet, which guild is here?"

Liam hurriedly moved about the brambly dry forest and headed over to the coordinates which Mei Mei had sent over.

It was good that they had contacted him because the majority of the guilds and the average players were yet to enter the nether realm. So whoever was here was definitely not average.

He did not know what guild they are but they definitely knew about Crimson Abyss. Otherwise, they wouldn"t have asked for the ridiculously high 10000 gold coin hostage fees.

After Crimson Abyss repeatedly got world achievements for the S- Rank guild establishment, there would probably be very less players who did not know about them.

And it looked like this time one of the whales had spotted them and had taken interest in their guild!

Liam had already expected things like this to start happening. Only that this was sooner than he expected, but ultimately it did not matter because… he knew exactly what to do!

Carefully navigating between the densely cl.u.s.tered trees and brambles, Liam slowly circled around to the spot where the group was patiently hiding.

However, he did not go over to them directly. Instead, he wandered around a bit more to first get a good grasp of the whole situation.

This would be accomplished a lot easier with him flying atop Luna, but then the other side would also be wiser to his presence. He still did not know their numbers so he needed that advantage.

After Liam started scouring again, within a few minutes, he ran into a group of players.

"Just like I thought… these guys have split up into smaller groups and are searching the area."

Liam carefully observed their movements and tried to gauge the level of the players but it was difficult to guess something like that with just this much.

He needed to deal with them directly to get a better idea. "I see six… alright, time to go in."

Liam walked over to the woman who was wearing a white robe and started with her first.

As his stealth came undone, he unsheathed the purple sword and smoothly slashed down the weapon.

SPURT. Blood splashed everywhere and the priest died without ever being able to see who killed her.

Everything happened so fast and by the time the other members of the group realized what had happened, Liam already moved on to the next target, the warrior knight.

Standing behind the guy, he slammed a huge fireball onto the opponent and was prepared to send in another attack, but the tank dropped dead with just the one attack.

"Oh, too weak!" Liam shook his head.

"What the h.e.l.l did you say?!" Two other melee players rushed toward him brandis.h.i.+ng their weapons.

One was carrying a sword while the other was carrying an ax and the two of them looked extremely confident despite their teammates lying on the ground.

In close combat melee players had the most advantage as it took time for the spell cla.s.ses to cast their magic.

And after seeing Liam, throw out the giant fireball, the two players couldn"t help but come to the conclusion that he was a casting cla.s.s.

He had probably only managed to kill their knight because of the element of surprise.

But now that the intruder was revealed and not in stealth mode, the two players did not expect any more threats and rushed forward to quickly finish off the b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

"This is your bad day bucko. You picked a fight with the wrong guild." One of them shouted, swinging down his ax.

Liam who was about to send another fireball slamming down on the guy suddenly released the mana and stepped back, only dodging the attack and not giving them anything in return.

"Oh, my bad. This might have all been a big misunderstanding! What is your guild name by the way?"

The man standing in front of Liam looked at him in confusion. Something was not right. This person was saying words like misunderstanding but why is he smirking?

"We are from the Gladiators guild! Moon Kingdom"s top guild! Do you understand now?" The guy continued swinging his ax and the other player as well slashed down at Liam relentlessly.

"It is too late to apologize now. Let us kill you ten times and maybe then we can start talking. Hmph."

The two of them grinned, expecting Liam to feel fear now and just as they wanted, Liam"s movements also slowed down as if he was no longer planning to dodge.

The two became even more energized on seeing this. "You only have your own bad luck to blame."

The guy with the ax activated his finis.h.i.+ng move [Blood Berserk] and he started spinning wildly. The swordsman grinned on seeing this because he knew that the fight was already over.

Blocking against [Blood Berserk] was a huge headache and especially for a magic cla.s.s, this move was a dead end, a fatal blow.

However, unexpectedly, the spinning started slowing down.

In fact, the skill had not yet been completely activated. "What happened?" The swordsman moved forward only to see that his friend was actually spinning without a head.

To be more precise, only his body was spinning and his head was already on the ground, but before he could feel sorry for him, his own head as well landed right next to the other guy"s head.

Just who the h.e.l.l was this person they had run into? He stared at Liam dumbfoundedly.
