Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 375 - Operation Sparrow (III)

Rika decided to not log in for the next day after she heard that Bladeheart has decided to challenge the Blue Sky Guild. She knows that the guild members right now are writhing in anger at her due to how this made their plans on staying quiet for a while get ruined due to Bladeheart's notoriety of being the first player to challenge a guild solo and won.

To make sure that her fiancee can't track her down, she decided to go to a hotel and decided to stay there. She escaped on her own without any of the bodyguards knowing that she already slipped through them. Bringing her laptop and phone with her along with a set of clothes, she is set to stay outside from her home for a while. With enough money to last for a week, she decided to stay there alone and made sure no one else is tailing her.

Ever since she played Alternate World, something has changed to her senses and although it wasn't anything major, she already noticed these changes in her body. She knows it isn't harmful but it's making her body a bit weirder and weirder as time goes by. Now, she is very sensitive to people who are tailing her. Lately, she can easily detect them even without looking behind her which is very good but strange for her. After all, she is not used to it. However, she now knows that she is being monitored most of the time.

Of course, she knew that isn't enough to make the guild suffer but it was a good first plan. Of course, she is confident in Bladeheart's skills but she is still worried since compared to the guild that Bladeheart challenged last time, Blue Sky Guild is much stronger, much well equipped and lastly, well prepared.

Right now, she is gathering all the information she can do to expose her fiancee and the guild. She already have some things prepared before she thought of this plan. She knows how shrewd her fiancee is that is why she is taking extra precautions on gathering clues and evidence. There is a limit to her own abilities and how far she can gather it all due to how the authority of the guy is much more troublesome than ever.

But she trusts Bladeheart. And she will use this chance to break free from the cage she is being held at and do whatever she needed to do.

While she was busy gathering some info, a message pop up from her inbox and she grinned the moment she read the contents of the message. Her grin is enough to show that something good has happened or something arrived that she has expected. Whatever it is, it seems her plans are now set in motion.

A day passed by and as I waited in my room the right time for the guild war to commence, I am here finishing the final bullet tips needed for the final set of bullets I needed. The moment I logged back into the game earlier, I spent the whole time creating bullets, and magazines filled with bullets. I made sure that I have multiple bullets in my arsenal.

Why?

Because I want to do a guns-only battle. I know my Versatile Weapon is good to use in this battle but I decided to abuse the ability of the Shield of Vanagloria effect to this battle so a secondary weapon would help me with this and it was good timing for me that the gun that I have the trouble of keeping every shot an instant kill, the Pain Delivery has been made by me.

Oh and by the way, I also made the Pain Delivery modifiable. Since the Pain Delivery is currently at a specific level, it would get a bit underpowered once I reach a higher level and with its abilities, I wanted it to be carried over to the next level like how the Versatile Weapon can keep itself on par against other weapons in my level. Thankfully, this was my original creation and I saved the blueprint on how to make it, allowing me to keep the gun intact in case something goes wrong.

After the last stack of bullets is made and slotted into the magazines, I am now ready to deal and wreck some players. I stretch my body a bit before I went out of the workshop where everyone is waiting for me.

"Bladeheart... why did you not say anything about this? You are making us miss the fun again!" Dolly grit her teeth as she shook me repeatedly.

"Although Dolly is getting violent, you are also in the wrong, son. You didn't say anything and challenged a guild on your own. I know you have already done something like this before but are you sure you don't need any sort of help from us? We can help anytime you needed some backup," Father said while wiping his brass knuckles.

"Don't worry dad, I know what I am doing and I am not planning on getting beaten up so you guys don't need to worry about me. Also, I apologize for not telling you all about this. This is a personal thing and I needed to do it by myself. That way, things would progress much smoother."

I waved my hands before I left as I tore the Teleport Scroll, allowing me to arrive at the Capital's Fountain of the Hero.

3 more minutes left before the guild war begins. And I was overwhelmed to see that everyone is ready to welcome me. The towers they made in one day to defend against me are too developed, and I think they maxed out everything. This is only possible if you have lots of money to burn so poor guilds and free-to-play players would never be able to have this unless they also convert themselves to paying players.

Not only that but most players that are tasked to welcome me are Paladins and Holy Knights while in the distance are Magicians and Hunters alongside the Clerics ready to move in for support.

"Damn, they have done quite well in the preparations and they didn't even spare any resources to be wasted and used it to reduce my advantage more and more," I muttered to myself as I look at the preparations."

The players around are crowded and since everyone can only watch the situation while the participants are the only ones capable of entering the venue of the battlefield, the other players are allowed to watch the whole battle using the Surveillance Birds. Since Surveillance Birds were not present in the first solo guild war, it was clear that this was an intentional way of the Blue Sky Guild for everyone to freely see the situation of the guild war. Maybe it is also their

I pull out the Versatile Weapon and turn it into a shield. I just realized after I devoured the Weapons of Pride, I can now use the weapons on their own. Maybe because each of the Weapons of Pride is individual weaponries when I devoured them so whenever I wanted to use the spear, I can use it alone without having a shield as a bonus, and I can also do that to the shield too.

With the shield ready to absorb damage, I also pull out the Pain Delivery and waited for the countdown to begin. I stood in the middle of the battlefield where every corner of me are surrounded by players, ready to attack. This kinda made me remember the time on the all-out war I did in the past timeline where I also did a Solo Guild War out of rage.

However, this time, it is not due to rage. This is a request from a friend who needed my help.

Now that she needed to get out of that situation by herself, I decided to do it, because, why not? Fighting against a scum guild like the Blue Sky Guild is much better while waiting for the right time to do the first raid. You can say that this is a free warmup fight before the actual challenge. I am not saying the Blue Sky Guild is not even a challenge. It's just that they are not that difficult compared to the upcoming raid and having them as an appetizer before the main dish is going to make everything much better for me.

I looked at the time and it is now counting in 10 seconds. Every player around is staring at me nervously, and despite their preparedness, they are still looking at me cautiously. They didn't even hold back in being prepared. Someone who doesn't know me might think this is just an overkill to use if they are just fighting one single individual but the Blue Sky Guild has indeed made the right choice to be more careful and will fight without holding back just because I am alone. I ready myself as the timer is drawing to a close.
