"Hey, why don't you let us through?! It's not like you own the game or something!" shouted a man.
"The Bandit stronghold is currently occupied by our War Gods guild. Our boss is busy leveling up and will kill the Boss Monster later. We are ordered to not let anyone in for the reason of kill steal. You may come back later." said a man with a knight class, clad in a Bronze Tier armor. With over 20 or so players from the War Gods guild guarding the area, people could only curse them.
"Arrogant f*ckers!"
"Why don't we do 1v1 if I win let me through!"
"Cowards! Just because you win us by number doesn't mean can win us in a fight!"
...
"Brothers what do you think we should do?" asked Fiery Wing to the two.
Hearing the question Magnus pondered for a moment. Then he sneered and said, "Don't worry I got this!"
The two just nodded and followed Magnus. Magnus nonchalantly walked through the people arguing. Since guilds usually do tyrannic things to settle stuff, then Magnus will show em' what real despot means!
Back in his world, he could battle dozens of warrior alone, what are these hooligans compared to them. As Magnus and company were walking pass through them, they immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Hey! We already said no one can't go to the stronghold till' our leader kills the boss." a warrior with a huge build said touching Magnus's shoulder.
Unfortunately, for him, before he could even touch Magnus he already caught his arm and twisted it. Magnus then used Frontal Kick the opponent's abdomen making him crush to the ground. This action cost quite a huge stir as the War Gods guild member immediately took action and attacked the trio especially Magnus.
"How dare you! Feel our wrath!" a knight said and jump to Magnus with his sword. The others also engaged fight with Fiery Wing and Connor.
Magnus snorted and used his hand to slap the sword sideways. The impact made the sword missed its target after that Magnus threw a punch straight on the knights face making him a white light. One-hit kill yet again.
Seeing this everybody was shocked for a moment, including Fiery Wing, Connor, and the other players. Nobody then carelessly rushed to Magnus. They maintained a safe distance from him.
"Pssst, Pssst, Psstt"
Arrows made piercing sounds as it was released from the Archers bows.
"Spirit of the violent element heed my call, Fireball!" chanted a few mages.
But Magnus was not bothered by this at all, as he reached for another melee player. When a fireball is about' to hit him, he'll simply dodge it without much effort. When an arrow was bout' to hit him, he'll grab it and throw it away.
This action of his greatly shocked the players nearby, some of them even started recording. What does it mean when someone is being ganged up by people and still win? It means that person is a pro!
His company was not worse than him though. Fiery Wing used stealth and killed a Priest, and then went to sneak attack the other Priests as well. His actions are simple but his next move would be unpredictable. Added with his stealth it was even deadlier, he managed to kill all three Priest in a short amount of time.
Connor on the other side is doing okay as well, he was kiting four melee players at once. What does it mean to be a mage with high agility? This is! Before the four guys could catch up to him he would immediately use Windstorm( a level 30 mage skill) which slows the target followed with a fireball skill, they wouldn't just be slowed but will also end up dead.
On top of that what amazed spectators the most is Magnus. Evading fireballs, catching arrows, and fighting swords all at once! Not even a single damage was dealt to him, nor his clothes were slashed!
After just a few minutes they wiped out the 23 players from the War Gods guild! How insane is that? What's more crazy is no one died out of the three!
"Wow! They really did it?" said a player.
"Yeah, luckily I recorded the whole battle I'm sure it would get a lot of views."
"Crap! I only recorded half of the fight."
...
"Brother Mystic, you truly know how to fight! How bout' you teach me how to catch an arrow?" said Connor growing more respect to Magnus.
"Hahaha, you don't need to catch arrows. You can just dodge them with your superb kiting techniques." Magnus replied as he collected some items that the players dropped. After a while, the first player he killed finally respawn. (A player can directly respawn whenever they want, they could choose to respawn to his corpse or resurrect at the spawn point. The only problem with the latter is that you'll lose one level while the former will only take 10% percent of your exp. (This is to discourage players from using death to minimize the distance they're traveling)
"You're going to regret opposing our War Gods guild! Our leader will be here in a moment!"
"Yeah, tell your leader we're waiting here. We're from Immortal Bloodline Sect, our brothers are on their way too. A few people from us should be enough to deal with your whole guild!" said Magnus with a confident smile.
The players who heard it shivered from fear, three of them could already deal 20 or so players! Then what would happen if there's 5 more! Or 10 more! Or what if their whole guild is to rage war? They could at least battle three guilds with the same level as War Gods guild. Although the 20 players from the War Gods guild are just lackeys, battling with them is not easy at all.
A few minutes later, the leader arrived. Immediately the boss approached the trio. His IGN is 'I Love my Handsomeness'. Just from his name, you could already tell how narcissist he is. Well, he's handsome, yes, but there's no need to brag right?
He walked in front of Magnus and company and bowed "Mister, I'm the Leader of the guild War Gods. I represent the guild and here to sincerely apologize to you guys. I hope you would let the matter off and give me some face."
In this world, gaming is the most booming business of all. Young, old, male, female, even pregnant and people with disabilities can make money out of games. As long as they don't have brain problems it would be alright.
Some people even consider this as second life. Guilds are also well known as a company, people will pay you if you play for them. Especially if you're a professional player. War Gods guild is quite well known, they have reputation that could be considered as famous.
In a game, especially ones that implement guild wars, guilds usually don't provoke other guilds that are stronger than theirs. Especially a company/guild like War Gods that's quite new in the business. A strong company/guild could easily suppress them in every game they enter thus leading to bankruptcy.
I Love My Handsomeness already knew their opponents' capability and that they also 'have' a guild. So he took the initiative and beg for forgiveness. In which shocked Magnus, he thought that they are reckless people. Seems like they knew that they couldn't defeat them thus they just surrendered.
Magnus stared at him, he chuckled, shrugged, said "It's alright man, you know we're quite forgiving. We just don't want people bothering us. We're heading off, we still have a boss to kill."
But before the trio left I Love My Handsomeness sent the trio a friend request which the three accepted.
'Mystic Warrior...' I Love my Handsomeness mumbled under his breath and stared at the back of the trio, seemingly wondering which oneMystic Warrior.
...
"Brother, you're really a good player. But how come I didn't hear your name before?" asked Connor as they head to the stronghold.
"I'm just average. It is my first time playing a game." Magnus replied nonchalantly.
"Whoa? You're kidding right?" they both stared at him with confusion.
"Yeah, really."
The looked at each other and thought 'Arrogant'.
"So you're not from Immortal Bloodline Sect after all," said Fiery Wing.
"Yes and no. Yes, I'm from Immortal Bloodline Sect and no that guild doesn't exist. But soon maybe I will establish my sect officially, but for now, I'm the only one member." replied Magnus with a chuckle.
The Immortal Bloodline Sect exists in his past life. It was infamous for being unkillable, no matter what others do they couldn't kill the members of the sect. It's mainly because of their unparalleled fighting prowess. (Magnus was secretly the leader of this sect, unfortunately for him, he died). Thus gaining the title Immortal Bloodline. Magnus also liked the arrogant sounding title of the sect.
"Oh, then count the two of us in!" Fiery Wing exclaimed Connor nodded in agreement. Magnus stared at them and pondered, seeing this Fiery Wing felt embarrassed, so he scratched his head and said "That's if you think we're qualified to be in the guild, of course."
They know how good Magnus on combat is, so of course, the guild he'll establish will be top-tiered as well.
"Hahaha, of course, you too can. I was just wondering if I really should establish my sect." chuckled Magnus as they arrived in the stronghold.
As they arrived Magnus showed them what 'untouchable' means. Evading, grabbing projectiles mid-air, and blocking before the attack hit. Not even 1 HP was deducted to his life, of course, that's only because those guys are low-level AIs. But still, engaging with 10 at a time is still amazing to watch. The two also didn't stay idle, Connor can one hit them with his insanely high magic damage while Fiery Wing can also one hit them by using Stealth then Backstab leaving the corpse as they wait for Arthur to spawn.
"B*stards! How dare you to kill my underlings under my nose." finally after 8 minutes of killing Arthur appeared. Not only it was faster than usual it is also much efficient as they could kill groups of bandits easily.
"Your problem is when he uses Conceal right?" asked Magnus.
"Yeah, you should have something to deal with it since you defeated it once." said Fiery Wing.
"Yeah." Magnus nodded and pounced to Arthur. Kicking it to the side, dealing damage some Mages couldn't easily achieve. Then he kicked it again on its head and jumped 360° walloping its chest completing a 3x combo, dealing bonus damage from the combo.
-865
-903
-1224
-500
"D*mn!" cursed the two. Then they started their assault as well. With Magnus pulling the agro, they basically spammed their skill. Within just seconds they already half its life. Just as it hit 10,000 HP, Arthur immediately used Conceal.
"Use your item now!" Fiery Wing shouted worriedly.
"Huh?" Magnus said, confused.
"You know, to cancel his Conceal."
"Oh! You mean this?" as Magnus said that he walked to his left a bit and karate chopped the air.
The two are again confused and soon shocked as they see that Magnus isn't chopping the air, but instead, he hit Arthur's head that is now visible. Magnus then grabbed Arthur's arm, bent his knees, and throw Arthur to a wall. An RKO.
