Chapter 699 - Connecting The Pieces (Part 2)
...…
Time seemed to stop for a moment the moment Arthur appeared. Both of the groups suddenly stopped fighting and stared at him with blank expressions on their faces, especially S.Tigris and his group. After all, Arthur was offering them his help.
In the meantime, D.Romeo was currently wearing a solemn expression on his face while staring at Arthur with a sharp gaze. 'Dragon God Siegfried, what is this monster doing here?'
Due to how hostile his gaze was, Arthur suddenly turned his head at him before saying with a warning tone. "Oi! I don't like that gaze of yours. Stop looking at me like that."
Hearing that, D.Romeo immediately diverted his gaze from Arthur and looked somewhere else. 'Tsk! This is going to be a problem. I need to get that item from S.Tigris as soon as possible before the executives of the guild discover what is happening.'
Being at the end of their ropes, D.Romeo gritted his teeth and said desperately. "This is a problem between the members of the Wing's Alliances, Dragon God Siegfried. You shouldn't get involved in this matter."
Arthur suddenly raised his eyebrows when he heard those words and asked sharply. "Is that so? But what if I insisted on getting involved? What are you going to do then?"
Bang!
Then a powerful aura was released from Arthur's body all of a sudden before trying to crush the members of D.Romeo's group. And when he saw that the latter didn't give him an answer, he further increased the pressure that was crushing those players before saying. "What now? Did you suddenly get mute or something? Why are you not saying anything?"
Urgh!
D.Romeo and the others struggled to maintain their footing when the pressure crushing on them suddenly increased.
"D*mn it! Don't f*cking underestimate us!" shouted D.Romeo while also activating all of his strength-boosting skills alongside his berserk skill.
Following his lead, the other members of his group also activated their respective berserk skills and other buffs that could enhance their battle capabilities. And due to that, they were able to withstand the pressure that was crushing at them.
"Hoh~! You guys are not so bad. I guess you can at least keep me a little entertained," said Arthur with a sarcastic tone when he saw them acting so tough in front of him.
In the meantime, S.Tigris still couldn't move nor know what to say with the current situation that they were in. He already met quite a lot of experts in his gaming career but this was the first time that he experienced this kind of crushing pressure.
Even if that pressure was not directed to them, S.Tigris and his group still could feel the heaviness of the air around them due to the aura that was being released by Arthur.
This intimidating pressure was pretty different from the one that he got from War God Simba. After all, that monstrous player was suppressing his aura during their meeting due to the presence of the Nameless Swordsman – no, that person was known as the 'Battle God' at this point in time.
On the other hand, Black Hand was able to catch up with what Arthur was currently planning. He was sure that this godlike player overheard the conversation earlier, so he was pretty confident that they piqued the interest of this particular god.
Realizing that, the priest quickly sent a message to the other members of their group through the party chat channel. And when the others read the content of the message, he quickly nodded their heads in agreement before looking at Arthur.
With Arthur's senses, it was pretty natural for him to notice their meaningful gazes. After all, they were not planning to hide the intention that they had inside their heads.
"Heh! Now, this is going to be easy," said Arthur to himself with a smirking tone before directing his attention at the opponents in front of him. And top of that, he also turned on the visibility effects of his help which indicated that he was getting ready for battle.
Seeing that, D.Romeo and the members of his party immediately turned tense due to the intimidation that they were getting from Arthur.
'This is bad,' thought D.Romeo to himself as he greeted his teeth while looking at Arthur. "What do you think are you doing, Dragon God? Do you think that you are going to get away easily after getting involved with the matters within our guild?"
Arthur couldn't help but laugh out loud to hear such a ridiculous composition of words. "Heh! Are you trying to use the name of your guild now? That's funny!"
"Do you know that even if you ask some help from the executives of your guild, none of them was going to lend you a hand!?" he added while looking at D.Romeo mockingly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Arthur was about to make his move when a couple of figures suddenly appeared in front of D.Romeo and blocked his way.
Seeing that, Arthur suddenly knitted his eyebrows for a moment before wearing a smirking smile after recognizing them. "Hoh~! That is more like it. If you want to face me, you have to bring your most elite group to at least have a slim chance of surviving."
In front of him, there was a pair of players who were wearing a black cloak around their bodies, hiding their appearance. Those cloaks were quite peculiar since they had silver feathers embroidered on their surfaces.
At the same time, both of the groups from the Wing's Alliance seemed to recognize those cloaks since the expression on their faces immediately changed.
S.Tigris and his team were looking at the pair with solemn expressions on their faces while D.Romeo seemed to see a ray of hope after seeing their appearance.
"Those cloaks! They are from the guild's secret regiment, the 'Slaying Feathers'!" said D.Romeo to himself while looking at the two with brightened eyes.
Unfortunately, those two mysterious players seemed to be quite hostile to him as one of them suddenly looked at D.Romoe over his shoulders while saying. "The Grand Elder is very disappointed in you right now, 'Hunting King D.Romeo'. So, expect a heavy punishment when you go back."
Hearing that, D.Romeo suddenly froze before wearing an even solemn look on his face. He didn't know which one was better, being slaughtered by one of the greatest players of the game or getting punishment from the grand elder of their guild.
Realizing his current situation, he suddenly thought that the former choice was much better than the latter. Too bad, there was nothing he could do right now but accept his fate.
Meanwhile, the other hooded player refused to even look at the other players around them and just locked his gaze at Arthur.
After a few moments, that person finally talked. "You should back down now, Dragon God Siegfried. This is not a good time to provoke us."
Arthur suddenly started grinning from ear to ear when he heard those words before replying. "Did I hear it right? Are you trying to threaten me knowing that you are still weaker than me?"
"Don't get too cocky just because you are wearing that flashy cloak. I can still crush you even if one of my arms is tied," he added aggressively while taking a couple of steps forward.
Seeing that, the other player quickly positioned himself in front of the previous guy and quickly said. "Don't misunderstand, Dragon God! We just want to negotiate with you."
"Negotiate?" said Arthur with a skeptical tone before sneering at them. "Too bad, your status is still way below mine to try to negotiate with me."
Bang!
He then kicked the ground beneath his feet, launching himself forward alongside his spear.
Swoosh!
Seeing that, the two members of the so-called 'Slaying Feathers' quickly moved out of his way while shouting at their fellow members of the guild. "Scatter!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Unfortunately, aside from D.Romeo and other members with quick reactions, most of the players on their side were pierced by Arthur's spear before getting devoured by the golden mana that was accompanying his charge.
Then Arthur suddenly spun his body around and stopped his charge before looking at his opponents. "Oi~! Listen up. If you guys are serious at taking me on, then you better bring an entire unit of your Slaying Feathers in silver rank or at least a couple of them with golden rank."
"That way, you can at least have a little chance of winning," he added before disappearing from his spot once again.
And in a mere instant, he suddenly reappeared right in the middle of his enemies' ranks, where most of their members were gathered.
Swoosh!
Roar!
Then a golden dragon suddenly coiled around Arthur and devoured all of the enemies around him. No one was able to react in time when that happened, so all of those players died instantly without putting up any kind of resistance.
After that, Arthur swept his gaze at his opponents once again before saying with a warning tone. "A friendly reminder, do you dare take your eyes off me if you don't want to lose your level since I am not in a good mood to spare any of you."
"Especially that person!" he added while locking his gaze at the person who dared to threaten Arthur earlier. "I will make sure to educate you properly."
