3rd Pov
Tokui and his group have just left their territory and walked into the thick black clouds that were occasionally lit up by the flash of purple lightning, thankfully the resource territory territory has a marker on it that all other players can see clearly through the storm.
After a short while the group noticed the tree line of the territory nearby, Tokui signaled his group to slow down and approach cautiously as they got close to it.
Than suddenly a blur rushed at them at rapidly inceasing speeds aiming directly for Tokui, however it suddenly spilt in half flying past Tokui and spilling large amount of blood onto the barren land outside the territory, than Tokui looked at the dark elf that had used her stealth and weapons skills to kill the beast before it even realized what happened and sent her a grateful nod which she returned.
[players subordinate has killed a level 10 frost bore, you have been given 10 kingdom points]
[ kingdom points are used to level up your subordinates or they can be traded in for stat points]
Tokui found the information useful and kept note of it to use later or in a emergency, Tokui than looked at his squad ignoring the gazes of all the beasts that roam the thick forest in front of them as he said" alright here is the plan, the tree elves will take control of them and use them against all enemies, the dark elves will scout the area and take out any weak beasts and players to break their formation just in case they having a good formation and tactic to go with their large numbers, than the high elves will set up traps around the forest while me, Yumi, and Scarlet head to lake to claim the territory, are we clear?", they all nod in understanding and go about their assigned duties.
With the wood elves
The wood elves went deep into the forest and came in contact with the trees their magic flowed into the trees and they soon control over the entire forest in a short period of time, then control the trees in the forest as the branches and trees to wrapped around and encompassed all the monsters in the forest, along with some careless players that may have entered early as well.
With the dark elves
With beautiful agility the dark elves glide through the trees as they kill weak players and other weak beasts, and they also scout for information on the other players while making sure the wood elves are secure and safe from any danger.
With the high elves
The high elves scan the perimeter of the forest using their magic, and decide to place magic bombs around the clearing along with other magic traps to ensure that enemies are destroyed or held back to give them enough time to either escape or take them down.
Than Tokui, Yumi, and Scarlet head deep into the forest while passing by all the dead monsters while Tokui ignored the various notifications he received from his subordinates killing all the beasts, then they entered the clearing and noticed some activity, so they stopped and stealthily returned into the thick bush, than they decided to analyze what was going on first, then they took a closer look and noticed that they are other players who are trying to get through some sort of barrier and failing, so I told Yumi" I want you to observe them and try to tell me what the trying to do with the magic of the barrier and try to at least give us an idea of what's going on"Yumi nodded and observed the players who are near the barrier using her intellect and fundamental knowledge on strategy to try to figure out what they're trying to do and why.
" Scarlet I want you to obseve the barrier and try to figure out why it's not letting other players in an what we can try to get in" Scarlet nodded in response and closed her eyes Focuses on the barrier specifically while using her magic like a raider to fully analyze it ,after a short time she opens her eyes and reports to Tokui"My lord the barrier will only let kings of territories in and all these people are just subordinates who were likely sent here to secure the area for their king, since none of them have been actively trying to get in but more so trying to surround and secure the perimeter" and just than Yumi also confirmed they were in positons to defend the barrier and watch out for enemies .
So Tokui decided to avoid them instead of killing them all to secure it before the leader gets here, since he wasn't certain but he could at least secure the territory before anything happens, but if else if all else fails they can still make an escape. The group then contacted the Wood elves and asked for a way to get near the barrier outside of the field of view of other players which the wood elves quickly showed them a path that leads on to the other side of the lake, where no player was located and they we could not be seen due to them constantly trying to temper with the barrier.
Just than the loud sound of stomping and clapping of bones was heard, and then a average looking man with short black hair and brown eyes Walked through the field, he wore simple black armor along with a sword that released a malevolent aura so potent he could sense it from the other side of the lake, and behind hima army of 50 soldier skeletons which look like summons and some of which also look like players, due to some of they items adorned which only players can get this early, however he also sensed many many more that are around the entire territory almost expecting to face resistance form its leader's enemies.
Tokui was now between a rock and a hard place as his would be forced to fight either way which made things more difficult, than all of a sudden a wood elf appeared next to him and she told him that there is some sort of demon sealed into the mysterious mans sword or it was empowered by a demon and coming into direct contact with it may be dangerous as it would try to influence him even if the weapon can't do anything to him, which would do more harm than good.
Tokui took in all the information and understood that he was at a great dis advantage, firstly if he escapes its very likely they will follow him into his territory and while new skeletons can be summoned, but his army will get tired and overcome if you throw enough at them, and lastly he can't use much of his power due to his low mastery which means he doesn't have enough control of his power to guarantee that he won't harm his allies, so without thinking much he decided to take a risk that would either get his group killed or secure him some new territory.
Tokui decided to put everything on the line and achieve his goal, he then told the high elves to set off all of the traps around the parameter to distract everyone else in the territory, while getting who Tokui now dubbed as the skeleton King distracted long enough to conquer the territory while the skeletons were destroyed in the explosion along with other players who were close to the traps or mines that were set up beforehand, and like a bullet Tokui along with Yumi and Scarlett entered through the barrier into the center of the territory as it acknowledged them due to Tokui being the king of his territory,
and then as Tokui was just about to reach the centre of the territory a black sword came flying in his driection forcing him to stop in order to avoid getting injured by the blade, as it lodged itself into a nearby tree, then he looked at where it was thrown from and he saw that the skeleton King was unfazed as his armor was absorbing the magic used to detonate the traps around him, than he looked at Tokui and his group with burning a crimson eyes and with a frenzied roar he was covered by a crimson aura as his body grew taller and bigger, and then in a demonic voice with his crimson sword raised high he chanted" I call upon the demons and beasts of the earth to devour my enemies and quench your greed and desire for my for soul a little longer",
and just then as if the heavens also felt the need to respond as the sky within the territory became darker as pitch black clouds gathered and the ground trembled as thunder far more powerful than the one seen outside of the territory makes itself known along with crimson lightning moving in a dazzling display, and then as blood rain started to fall from the clouds pouring down rapidly weather creating a rather disturbing scene that was made worse by a ear piercing scream that made look in the direction of other players and saw that the blood rain was acidic and was slowly and painfully melting their skin while Tokui and his group are spared by the barrier.
To rub salt on the wound a bright red hand came out from the ground and grabbed one of the players legs, than it fragged him into the ground as all that could be heard this bones breaking and fading screams, than a large demon with frenzied eyes along with other demons and beasts both big and small bursting from the ground being in a frenzy as well, thankfully Tokui , Yumi, and Scarlet were protected by the barrier while the unfortunate players were painfully butchered while the dark, and high elves were kept Safe by the wood elves who are protected them from the Blood Rain by using the trees as cover even though there to cut the connection in order to prevent themselves from feeling the pain of the trees.
The whole situation had just gone from hard to do or die , but he still didn't want to see his team suffer like this, because now he needed to do two things, firstly Tokui didn't expect things to turn out this way, secondly it was almost certain that Tokui would die if he wasn't careful, he then he checked the demons stats carefully, and the first thing that he noticed that the demons were mutated that has amped them to the point that he's the only one who stands a chance against them and even then Tokui could be overwhelmed by their large numbers, and he is also limited since he can't go all out since the rest might be in danger if he used it in such a confined space where his sworn allies might also get hurt as well.
So Tokui decided to make a quick decision as he told Yumi" Yumi I want you and the elves to retreat while me and Scarlet, its better we survive and escape, since our resources will be wasted or even worse the skeleton king will follow us into our territory that isn't currently protected, understand", Yumi looked at Tokui and was about to protest but she saw the cold look in his eyes, his decision was already made he just told her what to do , and then Tokui instructed the wood elves to manipulate the trees to create a canopy for her to escape, Yumi ran through the canopy Yumi stopped and looked back at Tokui one last time,
and with a heavy heart and a shed single tear as she left along with his forces to return to the territory, Tokui looked at Scarlet and told her " Scarlet, we will have to fight and buy time for the others to escape, I ask of you Scarlett, please lend me your strength so we can survive" Touki finished his statement, Tokui didn't want to win he just wanted to help his group escape which Scarlet picked up on and looked at Tokui in understanding what he truly meant, and Scarlet responded "I understand, I'm with you all the way my Lord, I will always by your side and now I will use my power to help you the best I can and though it is limited like your power, because this place is not the best so will do my best with my limited ability to help you"
Tokui felt that a small weight had been lifted from Scarlet and granted him a small amount of ignorance for a short moment for him to be ignorant of all the worries in the world as he smiles" thank you that is all I needed to hear", than with a serious face his eyes glowed a golden hue indicating that Tokui are was going to use his power with Scarlet Beside him, Tokui was prepared to die which reminded Scarlet of her previous lord who she served after her predecessor presented her to the king and served him before his untimely death and now her new lord looks and behaves just like him, and she will continue to serve him until the time comes and his power matches and surpasses him.
Tokui used his elemental powers, using his fire against the Demons who keep running ignore the pain they normally hurt them, than they scream and run away nut their blind frenzy kept them going, while the skeleton king enjoyed watching the pain and suffering while waiting for him to get weaker, now Tokui was planning on escaping with scarlet even though he had no control of his power it was still more it more than powerful enough to instant kill them. But being careless is enough to Almost kill Tokui since he cannot keep this up for long and he knows that they need opening to be able to escape.
While Takui he was thinking of a plan Scarlet was there to help with her dream magic which allowed her to create concepts from people's dreams and bring them in reality, although at its current level it is still temporary, so she decided to bring out demon slaying weapons that weebs often dream about when dreaming about events in the Middle Ages, and she was slaughtering them in large numbers while maintaining her attacks on pure will since she is fighting the good fight which mattered to her, as the numbers reduced all Tokui decided to attack the skeleton king while is guard was low by taking control of the clouds,
And a level power beyond what he was typically capable of unified into one bolt of golden lightning that shot directly at his demon sword to destroy it, as it was used to summon these demons and this attack should create a opening long enough for him to get away, than after the attack hit the sword the demos suddenly disappeared while the storm dispersed as the skeleton king was surprised by what happened, and almost teleporting to him Tokui threw a punch it landed onto his exposed jaw, and the attack did its job sending him flying through a few trees and outside the territory, and due the effects of the barriers around the territories the remaining demons stopped appearing,
Than with no time to celebrate Tokui quickly you looked at Scarlet and they made their escape, even though Tokui knew that punch was powerful, but he was not foolish enough to think that the skeleton king would not return, and Toukui made sure he would not be in the territory by the time returned and will more than likely I try to follow him and Scarlet so they decided to use a stealthy escape and run around various other territory to prevent him from finding their territory.
Slowly but surely they made their way back to their territory, but instead of disappointment at failing to capture the territory Tokui contentment with the fact that everyone survived and he gained valuable wisdom and information in his case in terms of how to understand how things work and just how dangerous the world is becoming around him, while he was not arrogant, he was reckless about his actions gambling in the game he was never part of to begin with that will only accept the strong,
So he be will strong and make his Kingdom even stronger, Tokui will make sure the others will work with one another to help the each other become better, and after a emotional reunion with the a worried Yumi and the rest of the group as headed back together while satisfied with simply surviving in one piece and gaining wisdom that they are sure might save their lives later down the line
