Chapter 46 - Episode 46: Against The Three Factions. (4)

[Reminder]

[The culprit has 15 minutes left to be lifted from restrictions.]

Kingstar and the others were fighting against Trevor. He dodged all their attacks and toyed with them. The place crumbled, the statues are destroyed. Ivonna and her friends were looking at them from afar.

Trevor changed his weapon from daggers to scythe. He attacked them with his long scythe and made them hard to approach him. He kited them and kept the distance. When Kingstar and the others were grouping up, Trevor jumped and plunged at them. They were all stunned then Trevor used an AoE skill and dealt heavy damage to them and made them immobilize. He switched his weapon to twin sickles and swung it at all of them. The two people that died from those attacks were Gunther and Reinhardt.

Trevor jumped back and swung the sickles. He looked at them.

"Go on, resurrect them. I won't move."

Kingstar looked at Grim and ordered him to resurrect them. Alec ran towards Trevor on his own. Kingstar screamed.

"Alec! What do you think you're doing? Get back!"

Alec stopped and walked back. Trevor scoffed.

"Good boy. You must obey your master command."

Alec clenched his fists and glared at him furiously.

A message appeared on Ivonna's screen.

[Papa Papaya: I found the secret passage. I believe Trevor came from here.]

Ivonna looks at Michael.

"You stay here with Leo and Emma. Francesca and I want to check the secret passage that Hans found over there."

Michael nods.

"Alright. What is your plan?"

Ivonna and Francesca are ready to leave.

"There are so many players that want to participate in stopping Trevor. So I want to check the secret passage and once we can confirm it, we will ask the players outside to wait for him at the exit of the sewerage. Even if we failed in preventing him from leaving, we can have another chance to stop him outside the sewerage. That's why we will protect the exit here so Trevor has to use the sewerage to leave."

Michael is grinning.

"I like that plan."

Ivonna nods.

"I will inform Kingstar, Diamond, and Lothair about this as well."

Michael, Leonardo, and Emma nod. Then Ivonna and Francesca go to where Hans is at.

Ivonna and Francesca approached Hans at the northeast side of the place. Hans showed them the small hole that is fit for a person to get through. Ivonna walked inside the hole and then came back a few minutes later. She confirmed that the place at the end of the hole in the sewer dungeon.

Ivonna looks at Francesca.

"Turn on your stream, Francesca."

Hans is confused and they both explained it to Hans. he immediately understands the situation. Then Francesca turned on her stream and facing Ivonna. Ivonna walked towards the hole and pointed at it.

"Good evening everyone. We are currently fighting the culprit who stole the item from us. As you can see over there, Kingstar and his clan members with Seven Diamond and Lothair Ermes are fighting against the culprit."

Francesca turns around so the viewer can see the battle. Ivonna walks and stands in front of Francesca.

"We are in need of your help. Those who are watching right now, please go to the outside of Gardweil. For those who don't know where Gardweil is, it's the capital city of the Nortzel Kingdom. Go outside the capital city and go to the southwest side of the capital city. You will find a small river and follow the river towards the capital city. You will find vast land and sewerage. Wait there when the VoW announced our failure."

Francesca's eyes are widened and raise her eyebrows,

All the viewers are surprised by what Ivonna said earlier. They can't believe that Ivonna and the others are going to fail. Francesca gives a signal to Ivonna about it. Ivonna clears her throat.

"Yes, you heard it right. We are going to fail. So please help us because we can't fight him even with these people. We will try and block his way out. Every single one of you will help us a lot. With that, I hope you all come and help us. Because we will do our last attempt to defeat him with everyone."

All the viewers were being skeptical about it. They didn't think that their help would change the outcome. But then one of the viewers gladly accepted her request. Then one by one also going to help, until the skeptical people changed their hearts and accepted her request. The results were all the viewers will come and help. They also going to inform their friends and colleagues to come as well. Ivonna thanked them and then Francesca ended the stream.

Ivonna ordered Francesca and Hans to go back to the entrance. They all nodded and left. Ivonna approached Kingstar and the others.

Trevor, Kingstar, and the others are surprised to see Ivonna came to them. Ivonna looked at Trevor for a second then walked towards Kingstar.

I don't know what they're talking about, but it seems that they're planning on doing something. I never think Ivonna would talk to Kingstar, and Kingstar seems happy with what they're discussing right now. I look at my status screen while waiting for them to finish talking.

EXTRA PTS: 0]

I still have my status doubled from [Frenzy] skill. It came quite handy for this occasion. My frenzied status has gone a while ago thanks to my high VIT and [Divine Aura]. Because of those, the frenzied status only lasted for 23 minutes. Since it's nighttime, the [Nightfall] passive skill made me survive the fight and my damage output increased by 50%. Back then, when Kingstar managed to hit me, my health was 371. A single hit after that would have killed me. But thankfully they didn't finish me off.

[Reminder]

[The culprit has 5 minutes left to be lifted from restrictions.]

Kingstar lifts his sword. Then all of them run towards me. Ivonna is joining then as well. I'm surprised and I believe they're trying their best now. But something is weird. Emma and the others aren't joining them. But it doesn't matter, because that's good for me.

I dodge their attacks and I feel like they're not trying anymore compared to earlier before Ivonna approached them, then the VoW appears.

[Voice of the World]

[Emergency quest! (Failed)]

[The culprit is now free from the restrictions. The Kings and Queens are furious and all the players from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction are getting punishments. EXP rate and Drop rate are reduced by half, all the players will also lose the Blessing of the Stars. The punishment lasts until 2399hrs 59mins 59 sec.]

Kingstar and the others immediately run towards the exit. Not just them, but all the players as well. So that was what they were planning earlier.

Ivonna readied her stances.

"You can't leave this place no matter what. It doesn't matter for how long, because we will be here."

Everyone's eyes are glaring at me. But they don't know that there's a secret passage. I scoff.

"That's fine by me. Have fun then..."

I turn around and run toward the secret passage. Ivonna screams.

"Don't let him escape! He must know another way to leave this place!"

I'm impressed that she noticed it this fast. But it's useless because only one person can fit in the hole, so they have to walk through the hole one by one.

I walk into the hole and I can still hear their footsteps from the other side. Then a person is following me from behind. I look back and squint my eyes. It's Ivonna, she's so persistent about chasing me and it seems that nobody is following her. I think they gave up on this.

I'm standing still waiting for her. Then she approaches me and she sighs. I smile.

"Are you still trying to stop me?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"No,but I told you that you won't take it easily from us."

I turn around and look at Ivonna with confusion. She's smirking and looking around.

"So this is where you came from. Interesting..."

Ivonna turns around and looks at me.

"It's kind of unfair. You know everything about the game while we all don't."

I chuckle.

"Well, even with all the things I know, there are still so many things are hidden."

Ivonna is humming with understanding.

We almost reach the exit of the sewerage after six hours of walking and talking with each other. Ivonna suddenly stops and walks back. She grabs her shield and spear. I tilt my head.

"What's wrong?"

Ivonna smirks.

"I told you that we will not let you have it so easily."

Now I realized something. The reason why they didn't try their best to stop me back then. Ivonna knew about the secret passage before my restriction got lifted. Then Ivonna is the only person who chased me all the way here.

I look at the exit of the sewerage. I scoff and look at Ivonna.

"They're all here waiting for me..."

Ivonna tilts her head and raises her eyebrow.

"That took you long enough."

I put my equipment back and the daggers. Then I walk out of the sewerage. Hundreds of thousands of players are waiting for me and they all are ready to shower me with their attacks.

A screen appears in front of me.

[Exclusive Task: Kill or be Killed.(In progress)]

[Kill a minimum of 100.000 players under an hour.]

[Reward: ???]

[Failed: No Penalty]
