Chereads / Server 1157 / Chapter 9 - Before the storm

Chapter 9 - Before the storm

"Farewell…" Just 1 second after cutting Mini, Pump, who had teleported 5 meters above where he had fallen, landed on the ground like Thor's axe and caused a giant dust cloud to appear.

.

.

.

The young man, hiding in a secluded place only 500 meters behind them, was watching the battle with uneasy eyes. "Damn, the situation is getting worse! I followed Pump for hours, hoping I could catch him off guard and kill him. Then when the war here started, I gave up on making moves, thinking they could beat Pump and Ahmed… However, it seems that GBR will also lose the war… I do not want to do this but I do not have a choice…" The young man took some kind of tiny device out of his pocket, resembling equipment in apocalyptic movies. "I hope I don't regret doing this." And then he pressed the speaker-like button and started speaking.

***

A system warning screen popped up again for all players in this world.

— [WORLD CHAT IS ACTIVE] —

"I am calling out to those who still have not lost their humanity in this fake world! Your trusted friend, Ocean is talking.

Our dear friends, Miha of BRE, Canosfer of RES, PapaBear of WAR, Ruby of XJX, Kisperia of WTV, and Hina of GBR Alliance have reached at least.

But we are under the attack of a very powerful faction here and need your help. All the prodigies who stood against this System! Please come to the GBR Hive and help us!

But hurry up please, because everyone is reading this broadcast, not just you. Countless people with hostile intentions will also come here and this place will soon turn into a bloodbath."

— [/wc] —

"WHAT!!!" Ahmed, who had captured Cloak with his blue dragon Fafnir, saw the text shared with all the world players in the WC while he was going after them. "DAMN YOU, PUMP. I HAVE TOLD YOU TO KILL THAT FUGITIVE OCEAN MANY TIMES BUT YOU CHOSE TO MAKE FUN! COUNTLESS PLAYERS WILL REACH HERE BECAUSE OF YOUR ARROGANCE!!!" He was able to yell at Pump with a vengeance as he was only twenty meters away from the battlefield.

"YEAH, AHMED, YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT!!!" Pump looked around for a long time with vengeful eyes, then took one last look at his enemy on the verge of death, bloody under his feet. "I need to finish my work here as soon as possible and find that scumbag. I will make him regret doing this!" After muttering to himself, he called out again to his friend, who was quickly heading to his battlefield. "FINISH OFF CLOAK QUICKLY! LET'S ENTER GBR KEEP AND COMPLETE OUR TASK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"

.

.

.

*** A hive far away from GBR Keep ***

"BOSS! DID YOU SEE THE WC!"

"DAMN YEAH!!!" The leader of the alliance started to walk towards the Keep's Gate with his longsword on his back. "LET'S GO AND KILL SOME CELEBRITIES!"

.

.

.

*** An isolated place, A monster hunting party performed by a few non-allianced overpowered villains ***

"What the hell!?" The 350M powered prodigy player on the 22M power Ymir monster lying on the ground covered in blood carefully read the announcement in the WC. He was reading while stabbing the dead monster repeatedly for pleasure.

"I think we have a more fun occupation." The other mighty player, who had 200M power with a grin slyly looked towards the northern horizon where the GBR Fortress was located.

"Since we're all KOS (Kill on Sight, players ordered to be killed at first sight by the King) the first to get there kills them all and collects the points." And the last independent member of the 420M-powered temporary monster-killing party suddenly jumped out of his place. He was rushing at such a superhuman speed that the grounding of his feet could not be seen with the naked eye.

The red eyes of all three of them were burning with killing intent….

.

.

.

*** WTV Alliance Hive (Alliance Power Rank:8 - 1B Power) ***

"Do you read this, Leader Erehwon…" Coronacate, a high ranker of the WTV Alliance, was reading WC with tears in her eyes.

"HELL, YEAH!" Leader Erehwon grinned at the members of her alliance. "Kisperia has arrived… Let's go!"

.

.

.

*** XJX Hive (Alliance Power Rank:7 - 2B Power) ***

There was a sudden rush in the XJX Alliance's Hive, led by Darkheat in the cellphone game.

"OUR RUBY HAS ARRIVED!!! EVERYONE, GET YOUR ARMS!!!"

All XJX members were running with all their might to get ready and set off as soon as possible. Unlike most other alliances, XJX Alliance managed to retain most of its members in the phone game in this bloody world. Of course, only the survivors…

.

.

.

*** WAR Hive (Alliance Power Rank:6 - 3B Power) ***

"HEY JUTCHII!!!"

"Ok, guys, Don't worry, I read it too." The current WAR leader, Jutchii was wearing his armor and encouraging his members. "No more words are needed. Let's go and recruit our friend, Papa!"

.

.

.

*** Oni Hive (Alliance Power Rank:4 - 5B Power) ***

The 2 female warriors of the oni, a massive force, rushed into their leader Elizabeth's room.

"ELIZABETH!!! WE KNOW THAT WE ARE IN THE MURDER EVENT PERIOD BUT WE ASK PERMISSION TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!!"

But their leader, Elizabeth, was already dressed and waiting for them, her red bow slung over her back. "Calm down, my dear friend Kuroneko and Baby. I was always telling you to stay in the hive at the ME event just for your own safety. But we're talking about Lighty here!" She stretched out her left hand from the window of her room towards the outside of the castle. And soon after, a chilling roar was heard, and a red dragon appeared above the castle. "F.ck the ME! At the moment, our hive is already protected by our strongest friends and Tenq is in command. Let's get our dear friend!"

.

.

.

*** RES Hive (Alliance Power Rank:2 - 7B Power) ***

"You know what we have to do, Treader!"

"I know, Mexi, I know… Cloak is also there now probably." The RES Alliance had lost most of its leaders for some reason. And leadership temporarily passed to Treader, known for his anti-war nature. "We need to save our friends!"

He made his way to the marching corridor opened by the other members who were waiting in the Keep's square, ready to fight…

.

.

.

*** BRe Hive (Alliance Power Rank:1 - 12B Power) ***

"Damn! What the hell are those two doing there!" Jan, one of the high-rankers of BRE, the temporary King of this bloody world, angrily punched the giant table where he had gathered with the other leaders.

There were two different types of kings in this world. One was the Temporary King determined by the system after each Server War, and this leader would only stay in post until the next war.

The other was the Permanent King, designated by the most skilled players in this world.

"I warned you, Jan. Sending Pump and Ahmed on a rescue mission during the Murdering Event was a mistake." Kelly, another high-ranked member of the BRe Alliance, gave her opinion.

"I know Kelly. But The Chosen One led them, not me!"

"And I'm sure they're killing other players right now instead of convincing Miha… So, what now?"

Jan briefly looked at the other high-ranked officials. "Foreseeing this risk, I secretly sent Vato and some of our friends there... It's not a good time for possible bloodshed. They will take control of the situation. In the meantime, we will deal with this little problem here." He turned his head slightly back and looked in the direction of the shout coming from outside the window.

Meanwhile outside the BRe Hive;

"JANNNNNNNNNNN! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!" The CAS Alliance, BRe's greatest enemy in that world, had surrounded the BRe Hive with all its members. "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!!!" And Kira, the most vengeful member of this alliance, was calling out to them with a vengeance.

.

.

.

*** An unknown region in the sky ***

"KREAAAAKKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" One of the strongest monsters in this world, the 262M-powered Phoenix, was screaming in pain due to the heavy blows it received. Its body, shaped like a giant bird made of flames by its very nature, radiated heat over a very large area that a human could not bear.

"HUH, WE GOT YOU!!!" The 750M power player named Nasser was standing on his red dragon to attack the monster again.

"WAIT!" Another player called out, who was flying behind him on a larger and more flamboyant violent-colored dragon. A smile appeared on his face as he read the text on the WC screen. "So… You have arrived at least… Miha!"

"WILL YOU GO, BUCK?" And the player who was flying with his ice blue dragon in a different area than them called out to him.

"YES, HAND. I NEED TO HELP THEM!"

"OK, BUCK. BUT BE CAREFUL. WE ARE NO LONGER BRE ALLIANCE MEMBERS!"

"DON'T WORRY" Buck soared towards GBR Keep with his violet giant dragon...

3,2B-powered player Hand and 2,5B-powered Buck were former BRe Alliance members. Due to their disagreement about keeping up with the order of this bloody world, they had separated from them long ago and were living like fugitives… Without being bound to any alliance…

.

.

.

*** And a colossus hive in somewhere ***

"HAH HA!!! HAH HA!!!" KOS player, who lived alone in this giant cave the size of a mountain, was very happy when he read the latest events. "It looks like it's going to be a full-blown war." He rose from the stone throne he was sitting on and, grinning, stepped out of the cave.

"GROAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

"KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

The three giant dragons, one red, one blue, and the other yellow, waiting outside, started to move when they saw their owner.

"Calm down, my babies. Your father has found a game that will make you drink the blood you desire." After stroking the head of the yellow dragon, he jumped on top of it and flew toward the sky with his three dragons at the same time.

The strongest KOS player of the game, 1.5B-powered Gofu, was also on his way to BRe Keep….
