Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

Chapter 77 The Trap

[ There, don't step near that area since it has a fishnet which will immediately close around us and hang us by the branch of that tree. ] Emma's glared at a particular spot near a tree 50 meters away from them.

Zack took out a silver dagger from his inventory and accurately threw it at the spot. The moment the dagger touched the ground, a black fish next appeared from the ground and wrapped itself around the dagger before going upwards.

[ I am pretty sure that they have another trap at that place but since we are deliberately trying to get ourselves captured, I guess we can just walk right over it. ]

Zack and Emma then warily moved forward while rapidly using echo detection. They could hear the heartbeats of eight people surrounding them.

But as soon as they walked over the ground where the knife had stuck, the ground beneath their feet started glowing.

A formations circle appeared beneath their feet and started glowing. Zack raised an eyebrow as he recognized the formation to be a paralyzing formation.

[ Act as though you can't move and standstill. This is a paralyzing formation. ]

As soon as Zack relied on the message to Emma, seven men suddenly appeared in front of them.

"I never knew that capturing them was going to be this easy." An old bald man muttered as he stared at Emma with a curious gaze.

The latter had a killer smile on her face and if not for what Zack had told her, she would have most likely attacked the old man.

Sadly, she would be defeated by him since she could sense that the gap in their power was just too big.

"You guys managed to become the top players with that level of intelligence. Looks like having overpowered weapons really do give a boost." Kevin muttered as he eyed Zack and Emma's bodies.

The duo didn't look as though they were putting much care into their strength and there were a whole lot of other things that he wanted to know about the former top players. Sadly, inspection couldn't be used on another player.

"There is a reason they are no longer at the top you know." A sword-wielding individual said with a smile as he remembered the golden spear from earlier.

All of them were itching to get the weapons in the duo's possession as well as the mythic box they had.

But being from the same faction restricted them from attacking each other so they decided to offer a guild war challenge.

[ Incoming Guild war challenge from bronze ranked guild 'A Pervert's Fetishes'

Preparation time: 1 minute

Guild war will only end once all of the guild members on either side of the team have been wiped out or have surrendered.

Would the guild leaders like to accept the challenge? ]

Zack grinned internally as he looked at the notification in front of him and chose yes. Emma also knew what the plan was so she chose yes too.

The seven men looked confused at the duo's actions but Kevin managed to make them believe that their actions were perfectly legible.

"They already know that we will beat them even since they are trapped in the formations. Now we just have to wait for a few seconds before killing them."

The rest of the men nodded as they were hoping to enslave Zack and Emma instead of killing them since there was a chance that they will just put everything in the guild storage again.

Little did they know that the duo never planned to do it.

[ Location of guild war: Acidlent

Members in the guild 'A Pervert's Fetish': 7

Members in the guild 'Red Dawn': 2

Beasts in the guild 'Red Dawn': 2 ]

"Wait, beasts?!" Kevin's pupils shrank when he and the rest of the members saw the beast section on the guild battle page.

[ The battle starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… ]

[ Start! ]

All of a sudden, two giant eagles dived down from the sky with smiles on their faces.

[ Daedalus (level 30(level 90)) ]

[ Icarus (level 30(level 90)) ]

Both of their levels had been decreased to make the battle a little bit fairer but they were still stronger than the entire party.

"Let's move out of the way," Zack said while dragging Emma to the side and sitting down near a tree.

"I guess they should have done more research on us." The hunter muttered with a casual expression as she thought of the formations that she had seen earlier.

"Did one of them create it?" The pink-headed woman asked as Zack shook his head.

"That formation wasn't fully created and was missing a few symbols. Since formations are only activated when all the symbols are correct, someone deliberately did that. Furthermore, once a formation master takes damage, their formations can disappear.

But this is only true for low-level formation masters so they usually keep themselves hidden unless they are strong enough to go ahead and fight while creating more formations." Zack calmly explained as a scream was heard.

One of the men had his head torn off his body by Icarus's claws as his body fell to the ground before vanishing.

Only six men remained as they banded together to fight against the eagles while Zack continued his explanation.

"I am pretty sure that the seventh person is hiding somewhere near this place and keeping an eye on us. Though she deliberately didn't add a few symbols so maybe she is waiting for something."

"Why do you want to recruit her though?" Emma asked the same question the second time but Zack didn't answer her once again.

After all, if he had wanted to answer her question, he would have done the same thing back when they were forming the plan after hearing the party of eight talks.

She instead looked at Daedalus's beak piercing the back of the sword-wielding man who had spoken earlier.

Only Kevin and the monk remained and both of them had grim expressions on their faces.

[ Lisa, you have a formation to take them down right? ]

The monk believed that Lisa would definitely save them at the last moment but no reply came from her.

The two eagles were now floating a few meters away from them as they looked at their prey with smiles.

Kevin was no fighter so he tried to hide behind the old man but it was a wasted attempt because of his height.

The bald monk raised both of his hands forward in a fighting stance while sending Lisa more messages.

[ Lisa, you better have something prepared or else I swear that I am going to fcking humiliate you. ] The calm aura around the old monk suddenly broke down as he started entering his enraged mode.

He suddenly jumped towards the two eagles while muttering skill names.

"Drunk fist."

"Drunk rage."

Zack was able to hear the names of the skills because of echo detection and he couldn't help but look surprised.

'Icarus, Daedalus, don't kill the old man. Make him surrender or something. Those skills will be wasted otherwise. ] Zack suddenly ordered the two eagles as they rose high in the air and left the old man on the ground.

"Come here, you daddy fckers!" The old monk looked as though he was about to go on a rampage but was barely holding himself back.

Lisa chose this time to reply however, her reply made the old monk emit a red aura around his body. He couldn't help but stare at the screen once more before cracking his knuckles.

[ Go fck yourself, old monk. ]

That was the message that made him want to turn the two eagles to eagle BBQ and eat them raw.
