It was just one line of information, but the silence lasted for a very long time.
In comparison to how long the group members waited before sending a message after Amanda joined, the time they waited to send a message after Natsu joined was almost ten times.
However, Natsu didn't mind it in the slightest and patiently waited for someone to send a message first.
Henry - Shout out welcome to the man of the hour, Natsu!
Rolling his eyes since not a single one joined in, Natsu sent his first message.
Natsu - What is this stupid group for?
Henry - This group is here to allow us Dungeon Masters to get together and make plans on developing together. Only this way would we be able to go against the Havens which have already grouped up.
Ahriman - You petty mortals and your fake alliances.
Ahriman - Once you turn greedy, all allies turn to dust.
Natsu - Thanks for staying the obvious Sherlock Holmes. Only someone stupid like you would bother stating it.
Not giving others the chance to say anything, Natsu continued writing and sending new messages.
Natsu - From what I can see, you're all idiots who want to grab the thighs of those strong few.
Natsu - In fact, all of you are the same as pigs. Only pigs band together.
Natsu - Me? I'm a dragon! And a dragon roars and hunts alone!
- Dungeon Master Natsu has left.
All happened in a blink of an eye, and before anyone could send a reply, Natsu who had joined, revealed his thoughts and left.
In fact, even though Natsu was arrogant, he wasn't the kind that would make an enemy out of every single Dungeon Master on Earth.
However, for his plan to work out, Natsu needed to rile up as many as possible.
Amanda - Can I just come out and say that he is an arrogant asshole, and I hate him?
Clint - Of course, you can. I hate that asshole as well.
Lilith - You all are just envious of Natsu, and his success. If you truly are strong, why not go and capture a Dungeon?
Su Mei - You.... Whom are you supporting?! Us or the enemy!
Shiva - Enemy or not, I like his style!
While everyone was thinking they were talking behind his back, Natsu could clearly see everything that was happening inside the group.
Because only he knew and could see Amanda's real class. As for the others who hadn't yet conquered a Dungeon, they wouldn't know anything about a Proxy Dungeon Master.
And therefore, it was now the perfect time to use it to his advantage. With those thoughts, Natsu began instructing Amanda on what to do.
Henry - I suggest we all meet together in a neutral location, and decide on how we are going to deal with Natsu.
Henry - It's only this way that we will be able to make sure that no one else obtains the benefits of our hard work.
Seeing those two lines of message, while there were many who shared the same thoughts, not a single one stepped up.
Meet up? In real life?
Who is their right mind would trust a stranger they hadn't known for more than an hour, and risk their lives?
Amanda - I agree. If we don't get rid of Natsu soon, who knows if we'll even be able to do so in the future.
Su Mei - I agree as well!
Amanda - It's not that I'm saying this due to how bad his character is. But, because it's quite possible that he has already reached Lvl 2.
Amy - What? How could that be possible?
Amanda - I'm sure that all of you have asked your respective Dungeon Cores about the condition needed to become a Lvl 2 Dungeon Master.
While no one answered, Natsu was sure that those who had even a little brain would have already asked.
Amanda - And just like me, the answer you've received should be that they don't know as well.
Amanda - But, what if the condition to become a Lvl 2 Dungeon Master is to capture one Dungeon?
Pausing for a while to build up the tension, Amanda continued texting.
Amanda - I'm not sure if he has already become a Lvl 2 Dungeon Master, or not. But, if he has, it won't be long before he starts raiding other Dungeons and captures then.
Amanda - After all, who knows what benefits being a Lvl 2 Dungeon Master brought him. Strong monsters? A second Personal Guard? Superpowers? Are you all sure about wanting to risk our future over some stupid selfishness?
After Ananda finishes texting, she no longer sent a message and waited for a while allowing the others text each other, and discuss in the group, before she continued.
Amanda - I'm sure that none of us trusts each other yet, but I'm willing to bear the short end of the straw and provide you all with a place to meet.
Next, Amanda began sending images which showed the current status of the Great Las Vegas Dungeon.
In it, everyone could clearly see that the amount of DP she had was zero. The number of monsters was zero. And the Personal Guard...
Su Mei - Why is your Personal Guard hidden?
Amanda - I've already gone through a huge risk by getting rid of all my Dungeon Monsters, and wasting my DP on useless crap. If I even reveal my Personal Guard, it will be the same as killing myself.
Henry - I agree. Lady Amanda, had already gone through a lot of trouble, and done more than she needed to. Asking anymore would make me feel ashamed of myself!
Henry - Also, since Lady Amanda has done so much, I'll bear with the cost of everyone travelling to her Dungeon.
Henry - Now tell me who all are willing to join us in taking down Natsu???
Despite there being three question marks which showed how much Henry was stressing the question, the number of individuals who replied in favour was less than 10.
Henry - Good! I'll be creating a new group and invite you all!
Reading those words Natsu could tell that his plan had worked out much easier than expected.
And next, all he needed to do was dupe them even more and conquer all of their Dungeons.
