Emile's party received a system notification.
The announcement told them that someone had completed the quest. The party walked back. They had to be cautious since they were still in the middle of the deep end of the forest.
They met up at the section with wolves.
"The center of the forest was a beautiful place. There was this long metallic tower, and this guy was bringing mobs into the tower. When the mobs came back out they were all in the berserk state; though they didn't have any buffs," he explained everything in one go with some hand gestures sprinkled in.
"How did you get to the center so quickly," Flower Queen asked.
"I think it's because my agility is high and I have training in martial arts," He said as he scratched his head.
They took off their cloaks.
"I didn't even get to use the cloak that much," Time Walker said.
They arrived at the village. Emile noticed that the players still stared at him. He recalled that he had a red name.
"Hey, how do you get rid of a red name," He asked his party.
There are two ways, one is when you die and the other is when you kill 10 mobs for every kill that you got," Flower Queen said.
"What happens when you die," Emile asked wondering about what penalties you get.
"You can't log back into the game for 24 hours. You also lose 50% of your experience." She said.
"Oh... that's bad," he said as he thought of all the stupid things he did that could have lead to death.
"We're getting kinda famous now," Handsomest Crab said as they walked towards the Chief's home.
They entered the Chief's home once again. They didn't know the guild Frosted Light and Dawn Breaker was waiting for them outside the Chief's door.
Pulsating Sword was from Dawn Breaker and River Bull was from Frosted Light. They wanted to have revenge.
The guilds waited for Emile's party to appear. They each brought 30 members and created a temporary truce. They circled the Chief's home so there was no escape.
Emile sat on the chair. He explained to the Chief, the discoveries he made.
"Hm... could you describe this tower more," he asked with a sour feeling in his gut.
"It's a black metallic tower with some runes circulating the surface," He thought about what the tower looked like.
"That's a wizard's lair, seeing how the wizard is harming the animal's, I can say that it's definitely an evil wizard," He said with some worry.
"Could you slay the wizard and bring peace to the forest?"

Even though this was the same level of difficulty as clearing the caves, it gave much better rewards.
"All right, bye Chief," Emile walked out as soon as he got the quest. It worried him that someone would clear the lair.
"Is Emile like this," Flowing Dream asked wondering if this was his friend of 3 years.
"No, I think he's going crazy, gaming seems to have taken control of him," Handsomest Crab responded with a hint of sarcasm.
They gave a farewell to the Village Chief before leaving his home.
When they walked outside, they noticed that Emile was fighting against a lot of opponents.
"A little help here," Emile said as he dodged the attacks. Emile could dodge all the attacks but he couldn't find an opportunity to attack the people. If he tried to attack skills would barrage him.
This situation occurred when he stepped outside.
"He's the guy that killed me," River Bull screamed as he pointed at Emile.
"Let's charge at him," River Bull didn't want to charge by himself.
They knew that he was strong enough to kill a few of the players so they got out 30 players.
The other guild also found out who Emile was from a video online of him killing their members. The also brought out 30 members to attempt to kill Emile.
Emile could dodge the attacks fairly easily. He didn't struggle at all.
"Cobweb manipulation," One player from Frosted Light yelled.
Emile's Agility got reduced to 60% of his total agility which severely restricted him.
Emile now had to strain a lot to dodge the same amount of attacks. He kept retreating as he evaded.
"Don't help me, I wanna improve my martial arts," he said as he realized an opportunity to grow stronger.
It was challenging to dodge the attacks of over 30 players. His eyes always darted around and analyzing the players. He calculated the time it would take for each player to land a blow on him.
Emile would instinctively dodge the attacks as they came close to him.
He entered a state of enlightenment.
His dodging kept becoming increasingly refined. He wasted less and less energy for each dodge. The players activated skills to shoot out projectiles at Emile but nothing worked.
Some attacks were a hair away from hitting him. His proficiency of Void-Steps exploded.
Peak Expert stage!
Beginner Master stage!
Mid Master Stage!
Peak Master Stage!
Beginner Grandmaster Stage!
He broke through five consecutive stages of Void-Steps. After breaking into the Grandmaster stage of Void-Steps he felt different. The enlightenment had other effects on his body.
His mind could function at faster rates without feeling tired. He would have to test out other effects of the enlightenment.
Emile attacked using his sword.
He started to kill all the players. Every time he slashed he would always dodge the ineffective attacks from the players.
The players became desperate and used as many skills as they could. For a moment, 10's of skills were flying towards Emile's face.
Emile expected this. He waited... and jumped. He avoided the ground-based attacks. The air-born attacks would be challenging.
The player saw that their skills were about to contact Emile. They felt relieved since they thought no one could dodge in mid-air.
Emile proved them all wrong. He twisted his body and maneuvered it into a blind spot. The spells were not coordinated so there were blind spots.
Emile took advantage of one of the blind spots. He evaded everything. He continued to kill. The players couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't hit him. He avoided every skill they used.
The Cobweb Manipulation spell wore off which increased his speed.
They became even more hopeless. Emile killed everyone that that attacked him. His name was dark red since he killed over 60 players.
Someone recorded the entire incident and uploaded it to the forums.
"Godly player does Epic 1v60 and never gets hit," was the title of the video.
"What... just... happened," Handsomest Crab said with shock.
'Did he..." His voice was breaking as he witnessed Emile take out a group of 60 players.
Emile had left the average player group and became an expert.
At this moment as Emile was basking in the fame, the ground started to shake.
He looked around and in the distance, he saw hordes of mobs marching towards the village.
