Meanwhile, as the other members stupefied on the spot to see huge damage on their level-35 Guardian teammate who has a little above 20,000 HP, the captain shouted angrily, "What the hell are you doing? Do you want to be killed to level 1?"
But before he completed his sentence, the other members' throat got slit one after one by Aster who was using his Stealth skill. Huge numbers between 6000-8000 appeared on them. As a result, the other five had a little over 5000 HP left and Aster appeared in midst of them as his Stealth disappeared.
Looking at the Guardian who ended up dead in 10 seconds, Williard thought and analyzed, "That's insane damage even for an Assassin. He only has a silver weapon on him. Dual blades normally have twice an attack than the rest of the weapons. So, going by the standard, the maximum, its attack must be around 800-1000.
Until level 50, all attributes are limited to 100. So, that's 2000 more. So, the total attack is around 3000. Critical damage is normally 50% by the standard. If I take into high guardian defenses and his pierce value, the damage is a 300% one. You get one advanced skill after level 30. Is it that skill? Or did he pick up a skill book somewhere? Forget it. The stronger the skill is, the longer the cooldown time. So, he can't use it again soon, anyway."
Meanwhile, Aster dashed towards them in a zigzag motion and slashed all of them in one more attack killing every one of them with ease. Williard looked at the corpses that disappeared and left equipment and sneered, "can't even take two of Aster's attacks and yet, they are boasting about their strength."
Then, he turned towards everyone, who was amazed at Shadow Blade's strength, "what you all waiting for? Let's go." They stepped inside the level 35-40 zone. As they proceeded deeper to look for level 40 Elite bosses while killing normal mobs on the way, they saw a twenty-member party fighting a Giant Leopard. Upon inspecting it, Williard saw,
Grey Leopard (Boss)
Grade: Heroic
Level 38
HP: 343,297/1,000,000
"Leader, it seems a large party around 50 killed the 6-member party we placed at the perimeter and are approaching towards us. There is a strong level 42 Assassin player in that party" said a Gunner class player.
One of the assassins in the party replied, "That's old news. Turn around and you can see them. They are already here. Leader, I'm waiting for your orders"
The Vice Guild leader of Imperial Guild, who was leading the party mumbled, "So, some foolish group thinks they can not only defy our orders but also wanted to steal our monster, huh? Party-B, you guys take care of them. Party-A will fight the boss until our Guild members arrive here."
Aster who saw one of them turned his head and spotted them spoke, "Young master, they must have already known that we're here after we wiped out the party."
Williard replied, "First, add me to the party." Previously while leveling up; he didn't do it because he had to share EXP if he was in a Party. That's why, while the 51 of them are in a Party so that they cannot attack each other, he remained solo and raised his level very quickly.
"Now, attack and kill every one of them. A thousand Credits per head," as soon as Williard ordered and offered a reward, these thugs roared in excitement since it's a lot of amount for these financially struggling people with poor living conditions and debts.
They started running towards the ten-player party who were sent to massacre their group instead. As two Assassins in the group disappeared, the rest of them instantly disappeared as they were bombarded by a collective number of Fireballs, arrows, shot bullets by the range attackers.
Meanwhile, Williard flew towards the ten-player group that is fighting the Heroic Boss, along with Aster who was following him while staying hidden all the time behind the trees, bushes, etc…
Looking at Williard, who was arrogantly flying alone while looking down at them, Vice Guild leader Red Dragon frowned, "is he a scout? Dave, take care of him." Dave, the gunner of the party, pointed the energy blaster at him and shot once at him since he thought the other party was just a level 22 and only have a little over 4000 HP. He thought Williard will die in one or two hits.
Williard flapped his wings and easily dodged the attack as he invested all the points in intelligence and Agility. After evading the attack, he picked his bow from his back with the right hand and pulled the string while pointing the bow towards the gunner. A fire arrow formed between his fingers on the bow. Dave looked at it in a shock, "What the ****" as Williard released the fire arrow while suddenly changing the direction of his bow.
As Dave was stupefied by a moment after realizing that this scout's aim was something else as he saw the Fire arrow zoomed in the air and hit the Grey Leopard's eye.
*Rawr* the boss roared in pain and anger while the blood is oozing from its eye and the burning effect was activated.
A red aura generated by the boss. Red Dragon shouted, "everyone, move away, the boss went into berserk mode. That little ****"
As a member was panicked, the Vice leader replied, "A Heroic boss will get into a berserk state when it gets hit in its sensitive parts like eyes. That's why we always avoid it." And then ordered them to get away as soon as possible, but two to three members argued, "Leader, it was only 10% away. Let's just kill it quickly. Enemies are coming." Meanwhile, Williard smirked, "these fools don't know the scary part of the berserk state."
As the boss went into a berserk state that increases its attack by 100% and squashed half of the party, Red Dragon immediately ordered, "everyone, follow me. Let's just give them the same medicine. And kill that f****** scout, first."
As Red Dragon and a few members of his team started running towards Will's party, Williard sent a voice message in the party channel, "Imperial guild is trying to lure the monster towards you guys and take all of you out with them. Aster, your job is to take out their leader, first. Everyone else, kill the others and Rock Fist, hold monster for a while.
While the Archer stayed there to kill Williard, the remaining four of them followed Red Dragon who was luring the berserk boss towards Will's party. While the gunner was shooting at Williard who was easily dodging because of high agility and a large distance between them, Williard spoke, "do you know why you aren't a match of me even though your level is 15 levels higher than mine?"
Dave looked him furiously and thought, "We'll see how long you can fly in the air." Williard smirked, "I bet you are thinking it's because I have wings." He shook his index finger and then flew high a few meters.
He pulled the string as his face turned serious, "it's because my range is a lot higher than yours" and then shot a fire arrow towards him but Dave dodged easily and Williard became embarrassed as it went far away from Dave. Even if was at that spot, it wouldn't have hit him.
Dave laughed, "It seems, you should practice Archery before spouting out such line." Williard at first became furious because of embarrassment and then thought, "What he said is right, though. I should practice Archery once again. For me who came 5 years from the future, it's been 10 years since I practiced martial arts, Archery, Shooting, and such stuff. That's why my accuracy is far low. I should take some time free time from game and practice again."
