MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 308: Traitor!

Chapter 308: Traitor!

?

The unsealed door stayed tightly shut, but at that moment, Rawkshawn arrived right on the steps of his freedom.

However, the door was clearly too small for him to just walk through.

At that moment, Rawkshawn's height started to change. He became smaller and smaller until he was barely two meters tall.

With his right hand, he twisted on the door knob, and pushed the door open.

It opened like it was supposed to.

Rawkshawn smiled and walked through, and when he passed fully through, he appeared in the long hallway of the safe room.

The door behind him got slammed shut.

Strangely enough, now all four sealing chains are broken. Before, only one of them, so in the span of a few hours, the last three chains got broken as well!

Rawkshawn made his way out of the basement level, and after making his way up, he stepped through another door that led him straight to the front lounge of the safe room.

There he watched as the new tutorial-takers moved along between the teleporting doors.

'This place wasn't here before.' Rawkshawn smiled. 'They are all players. Insanely weak. Is this the place where the players are born?'

"The third group, you have a lesson to attend to!" A voice came.

It seemed to come from wall-mounted speakers.

At that moment, a group of players immediately headed towards the auditorium, and as they walked by, one of the young women of the group wasn't paying attention and bumped into Rawkshawn.

However, to her, it felt like she bumped into a brick wall, and she fell down to the ground instead.

"Hey!" She rubbed her butt and looked at him angrily. "Watch where you're standing!"

"Hmm?" Rawkshawn looked at her with a confused expression.

He didn't even know that someone accidentally walked into him. It felt like a faint wind had just breezed past his body. It was something that no one would pay attention to!

"Moron!" She walked past him angrily and bumped shoulders with him to show her displeasure, but she only hurt her own shoulder.

She grabbed her shoulder and moaned in pain. "Ouch, the hell..."

"Rude." Rawkshawn said, but he didn't really care.

It didn't make him have any kind of reaction.

The young woman was just so insignificant in his eyes that her whole existence didn't matter. 'A lesson? I am curious, though.' Rawkshawn followed behind the group, and when he reached the auditorium behind the group, he took a seat in the back row and crossed his legs.

"Welcome everyone!" Dakota shouted. "Today's lesson, Chaosbeings and the New World!" Everyone quieted down as they started to listen.

As the lesson went by, Rawkshawn kept listening and was intrigued by a few things.

'Wall of the Living? Hmm, they created a wall to keep them safe from the Chaosbeings? Interesting. I would like to visit this wasteland.'

While listening to the conversation, the rude young woman looked in his direction. She was clearly still angry but also surprised to see him on the lesson.

She would remember if someone like Rawkshawn was in their group.

It wasn't like he was hard to miss.

With his bare-naked torso, chains dangling across his body, and ragged leather pants. It made him look like the king of the delinquents, but one thing was for sure: no one here was dressed like him.

The lesson slowly came to an end, and while most of the players headed straight out to do their own things, the rude young woman walked towards Dakota.

"Miss Dakota!"

"Hmm?"

Dakota was in the middle of packing her backpack when she heard her name called.

She turned around and asked. "Yes?"

The rude young woman leaned to a whispering distance and said. "Do you see that man in the back row?"

Dakota looked over and saw Rawkshawn slowly stand up, preparing to leave. There was something extremely odd about him.

"Who is he?"

"I don't think he belongs to our group. I am not even sure whether he should be in the tutorial."

'Mercenary?' Dakota nodded and said. "You may leave. I'll have a talk with him."

The rude young woman nodded and used another exit to leave the auditorium so she wouldn't have to walk past Rawkshawn.

She didn't know why, but he kind of scared her.

"Excuse me, young man!" Dakota walked up the stairs towards Rawkshawn.

'Young man?' Rawkshawn, who was about to step out of the auditorium, turned around.

"I don't think I've seen you here before." Dakota said with a puzzled expression. "Who may you be, and what group are you part of?"

"Rawkshawn." He said. 'Third group, I think it was...'

"And what group?"

"Third."

"Hmm." Dakota opened her backpack and went through some sheets of paper until she found the correct one.

She slowly went through it. It showed the participants of the tutorial, and Rawkshawn's name

was not listed on the sheet.

'He doesn't belong here.'

Dakota calmly slipped the sheet back to her backpack and unzipped it.

She then discreetly used her Kiryoku to gauge his strength and didn't feel anything. Absolutely nothing. It could only mean that he was only a Coinfeeder.

"Why did you use your Kiryoku on me?"

Dakota's heart suddenly did an extra beat, and then she turned to look at him.

"I didn't."

After the words of lie left her lips, Rawkshawn grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the

ground.

"You humans do nothing but lie, and lie."

"Argh!" Dakota gasped for air and tried to pull his hand off her throat, but she couldn't.

With her strength, she would be able to easily push Coinfeeder away from her, but she quickly

realized that this strength wasn't Coinfeeders.

It was something much, much stronger!

Swoosh!

Invisible, wind slash came, and smashed into Rawkshawn's back. It looked like it could slice

through his body, but not a single scratch appeared.

"Hands off her." Marvin growled.

He was this month's caretaker of the tutorial.

'Marvin!' Dakota thought to herself while her air supply was running low. 'H-he is...

Archwarrior...'

Rawkshawn let Dakota go, and as she collapsed on the ground, she greedily tried to gasp for

air.

"Okay, I am sorry." Rawkshawn raised his arms and said, "Take it easy~"

"Who are you, and what are you doing in the tutorial?" Marvin asked as he slowly neared him

with his sword ready.

"I want to contact someone." Rawkshawn said and looked at Marvin. "And you will help me to

do so."

"As if!" Marvin shouted. "You just attacked Dakota. You won't stay another second in the

tutorial!"

"Sigh." Rawkshawn turned Dakota. "Are you the more reasonable one?"

"Eh?" Dakota looked at him with a look of fear.

Within a fraction of a second, Rawkshawn appeared in front of Marvin. He moved faster than

he could blink his eyes.

Rawkshawn slapped Marvin across the face, and his head ruptured upon impact. The head

whipped to the side, and his neck muscles couldn't handle it; thus, his head flew off his

shoulders and smashed into the wall.

"Ahhh!" Dakota screamed.

"Don't scream." Rawkshawn appeared in front of her and covered her mouth, then looked at

her terrified eyes.

"I want to contact someone. Is there any kind of communicating device here?"

Dakota nodded like a chicken pecking for feed.

"Take me there!"

...

Through a door, Dakota stumbled through and fell on the ground.

Rawkshawn followed after her and closed the door behind him. He then looked around the

conference room.

This room was usually used for them to contact the Council of Mercenaries, but there were

also other people that could be connected with.

"I'll need you to connect me with someone." Rawkshawn sat down with his legs crossed.

"W-with who?" Dakota stumbled to the "keyboard"-looking thing.

"Moriarty, I think he was called."

"The King..." Dakota's eyes widened. "Why do you want to contact him?"

"None of your business. Do it!" Rawkshawn shouted.

Dakota, shaken with fear, quickly did as she was ordered, and soon the black screen started

showing the blue screen.

It was waiting for the person on the other end of the call to answer.

Dakota stepped aside with a nervous gulp.

After a short while, the blue screen vanished, and King Moriarty appeared, sitting on a laving

throne.

It was clear that the Royal Castle of the Imperium City was destroyed, so he'd must've found another castle for himself meanwhile.

'King Moriarty!' Dakota thought with happiness.

She hoped that their awesome ruler would come to save them. It was clear that Rawkshawn had nefarious intentions, and the whole tutorial would be in danger.

However, at that moment, on the screen, King Moriarty stepped off the throne and kneeled

instead!

Seeing that broke Dakota's mind.

"Lord Rawkshawn." Konrad Moriarty said with a humble tone. "I've been waiting for your

call."

'Lord?!' Dakota's eyes shook. 'What in the hell is going on?!'

"I am free now." Rawkshawn said. "Thank you for those sacrifices. They were finally enough

to break the final sealing chains."

'Sacrifices?' Dakota's eyes opened wide.

She remembered Adam and the rest that went beyond the Door of the Sickness. They were

sacrifices?

'No... that can't be.' Dakota looked over to the screen.

'King Moriarty is working with him? Sacrifices... Is the sickness the doings of Rawkshawn, and

everyone who died by the sickness was nothing more than mere sacrifices?

'Why would he...

'Why would king Moriarty help him?!'

"Good." Moriarty said. "I will be visiting you there shortly."

Then, on the screen, Moriarty turned his head slightly to look straight at Dakota.

"Hello, Dakota."

"..." Dakota gritted her teeth. "How could you... How could you betray humanity?!"

"You will act completely normal." Moriarty said. "If you communicate with anyone outside

the tutorial, Rawkshawn will kill everyone in the tutorial. Act like nothing is wrong, and you all shall be spared.

"Rawkshawn will stay in the tutorial. Act like he doesn't exist. Simple as that." "Hahaha... simple..." Dakota looked at him hatefully. "Traitor!"

"This place is nicely hidden from the eyes of the gods." Rawkshawn said with a smile. "Thus,

I got to stay here. Until my siblings are free as well."

"I'll be there shortly." Moriarty said. "I hope you have my reward ready."

"Yes, it is." Rawkshawn crossed his arms. "Don't make me wait."

Dakota lowered her gaze and started to tear up.

If she went to the Mortal Online forums and exposed everything, no one would believe her.

They would just call her a liar.

After all, King Moriarty was loved by everyone.
