The group of players that were in Thomas' group as well as Melissa stared in shock as they watched Thomas' corpse turn into particles of light before disappearing.
[Enemy player Prince of Necromancy Defeated]
[Death Penalty increased because of the effect of Daratrine's Savagery]
[Enemy player Prince of Necromancy is more than 1 rank higher than you and will therefore be locked out of Genesis for the normal 24 hours]
["NOTICE* Because you killed the player using Daratrine's Savagery, you will gain no experience.]
(Shame it's only twenty-four hours.) John thought as his saber-tooth fangs retracted back into his mouth.
John turned to Melissa before saying, "You really should have listened to Adria about her brother Miss Delacruz, she warned you to stay away from him."
Melissa looked at John in surprise and opened her mouth to ask something, however before she could utter a word John said, "Stealth." and he vanished from view.
"What the hell just happened." One of the party members who pulled themselves together asked.
"The boss was one-shot that's what, and by a human who can turn into a white tiger over seventy levels below him." Another replied.
"I don't know what to pick out from that sentence first, one-shot, human who can turn into a white tiger which means he's a Druid or seventy levels lower." Another replied.
"What is with all the one-shot kills recently?"
"What do you mean?" Melissa decided to ask as she had not had a chance to read the latest news about Genesis before Thomas accosted her.
"You probably haven't had time to read or watch the news with your busy schedule, Miss Delacruz." A party member replied before explaining. "Recently a grim reaper has appeared in both the Orc and Human capital cities before killing a player that was accosting women in one-shot and then leaving with those same women."
"What! That can't be true." Melissa replied disbelievingly.
"It's on the Genesis news network Miss Delacruz, there are even videos of it."
"Shit, I should have had my video function active to capture the one-shot just then, I would have made a killing by selling it."
"Yeah then the boss would have killed you for embarrassing him."
"Point taken, so now what?"
"Should we still help Miss Delacruz with her mission?"
"No need." Melissa replied with a smile. "You all should return to your own quests, I think I will go level for a bit."
"Are you sure Miss?"
"I am, thank you for the offer though." Melissa replied with a professional smile before turning and walking away.
As she left her professional smile turned into a beautiful happy smile and once she was far enough away from the group she broke out into laughter.
"Fucking fat pig got what he deserved, haha I can't believe he died in one-shot to a player over seventy levels lower than him." Melissa said happily.
"Still that player was way too powerful for his level, how have I not heard of them before? I know I don't get a chance to catch up on the news much but I should have heard of someone that powerful surely?"
"Maybe Adria knows." Melissa said before opening her most recent conversation with Adria and sending her a message.
[Dream Archer: Guess what just happened, you wont believe it.]
[Red Rose: What?]
[Dream Archer: Your brother just got one-shot by a player seventy levels weaker than him.]
[Red Rose: Oh really?]
[Dream Archer: Why don't you sound more surprised and happy?]
[Red Rose: Oh I'm happy honey, I'm just not entirely surprised as I can guess what happened.]
[Dream Archer: Oh can you now, go on then tell me what happened miss psychic.]
[Red Rose: My idiot brother insulted me or someone related to my boyfriend in front of him and after that he got one-shot.]
[Dream Archer: Wait….. Is your boyfriend's player name Vincarna.]
[Red Rose: So I was right, darling defends our honor again, I'm falling more and more in love with him, he would even kill my own brother for disrespecting me.]
[Dream Archer: Seriously? I was just about to ask if you knew a player named Vincarna, but it turns out it's the same guy whose harem your part off.]
[Red Rose: What did you think this princess would choose anyone but the best to be her future husband?]
"Dream Archer: How the hell is he so powerful, he faced off against a level one hundred silver deer solo while also one-shot that fat pig.]
[Red Rose: He soloed a level one hundred silver deer? Did he kill it?]
[Dream Archer: He was about to but that fat pig of a brother of yours stole the last hit.]
[Red Rose: Fuck, that stupid idiot. Now darling has to hunt another silver deer.]
[Dream Archer: Why, he would have already got credit for killing that one surely.]
[Red Rose: It's not just that he killed it but he has to kill it in his White Tiger form and without any magic.]
[Dream Archer: That's a strange requirement.]
[Red Rose: Apparently silver deer meat is very good for healing injuries beasts of the wild have obtained, however any magic used to help kill the silver deer seems to spoil the meat and make it less effective in healing.]
[Red Rose: Did he at least give you the antlers from the one my idiot brother attacked?]
[Dream Archer: Unfortunately it was a doe so it didn't have any antlers.]
[Red Rose: Pity….. Actually this is a good opportunity for you.]
[Dream Archer: What do you mean?]
[Red Rose: It's a great chance for you to get closer to John so that he accepts you into the harem.]
[Dream Archer: I never said I wanted to join the harem, also it's normally men trying to get closer to me not the other way around.]
[Red Rose: Then think of this as a new experience because trust me when I say that even if he finds you attractive you're far from the most beautiful woman he has in his life.]
[Dream Archer: Bitch, has the number of times I have complimented your beauty finally gone to your head?]
[Red Rose: Hehe, I'm not talking about me babe.]
[Dream Archer: Then who?]
[Red Rose: Well I suppose the most obvious is Alea, can anyone match her beauty apart from her mother and aunt? And then there is Shizu, she might not have as attractive a face as you but those nine tails are something else let me tell you.]
[Dream Archer: I have only seen pictures of both and they are very beautiful.]
[Red Rose: Well then there's Succubus queen Elrinira.]
[Dream Archer: The world boss! Seriously?]
[Red Rose: Apparently, she claims to be testing John in some way to determine if he is worth being her life mate or something.]
[Dream Archer: Fuck, can anyone compete with her in terms of sex, I mean succubi are the literal demons of sex.]
[Red Rose:...]
[Dream Archer: What? Don't tell me there is someone more impressive than Elrinira who wants to join this harem?]
[Red Rose: While I don't know about joining the harem, there is definitely someone more impressive that has shown an interest in John.]
[Dream Archer: Who? Come on, spill it.]
[Red Rose: Aphrodite, the goddess of sex, love and beauty.]
[Dream Archer: …]
[Red Rose: I know babe I had the same reaction when I first learnt of this too.]
[Dream Archer:..]
[Red Rose: Babe?]
[Red Rose: You ok babe?]
[Dream Archer: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.]
[Red Rose: There she is, there's the foul-mouthed idol I love.]
[Dream Archer: Shut up.]
[Red Rose: Oh please it's nothing to be ashamed about.]
[Dream Archer: I'm an internationally famous actress, singer and more, how can it not be something to be ashamed about.]
[Red Rose: Oh shush, only I know, as long as you keep it within the harem in the future you don't need to worry about it spreading.]
[Dream Archer: I never said I was joining.]
[Red Rose: Oh please of course you are, now let me ask John to party up with you.]
[Dream Archer: Wait.]
However Adria never replied to Melissa's message and she started to get nervous.
"Damn that bitch always teasing me, if I didn't love her so much I would… I would… ah shit I can't do anything against her."
As Melissa was complaining out loud in a very un-celebrity like manner she suddenly received a notification.
[Player Vincarna has invited you to join his group, would you like to accept?]
[Yes] [No]
"She actually managed to persuade him?" Melissa said in surprise.
"She did, and as my girlfriend, all she had to do was ask." A familiar voice suddenly said before a white tiger appeared from stealth a few feet away.
"WAH!" Melissa said in shock as she did a small jump backwards before asking nervously, "How long have you been here?"
"I never left." John replied with a tiger's grin.
"You mean you heard…." Melissa asked nervously.
"Your foul-mouth, yup." John replied before continuing, "I must say I was surprised to hear it from one of the most famous idols in the world."
