"Oh?" John gazed intently at Sini.
His first thought was that this could be a trap set by Aron, or perhaps Sini was trying to use him against Aron.
The latter seed more likely.
Sini had always wanted to escape Aron's control, and even kill him,
but the slave contract bound her to Aron's commands.
John beca interested and asked, "Tell more."
Sini, unaware of John's inner thoughts, explained, "The Wind and Cloud Guild found a Level 10 elite boss, Earth Ard Bear, in the wild. They're organizing their mbers to kill it. Should we take advantage of the situation?"
Earth Ard Bear?
John was surprised. Aron's luck was extraordinary.
In the previous life, it was not the Wind and Cloud Guild but another guild, the Overlord Guild, that discovered and killed the Earth Ard Bear boss.
However, the Overlord Guild was later absorbed by Aron.
John rembered that the Earth Ard Bear guarded the path from the beginner village to the Level 1 city. The first kill would grant attribute points and drop a hidden dungeon scroll.
These rewards must not fall into Aron's hands, especially the hidden dungeon scroll.
John looked at Sini and said, "Take there."
"Okay." Sini opened the map, identified the coordinates, and headed towards the Earth Ard Bear boss.
...
In another part of the forest, overgrown with wild grass, an ancient path lay hidden.
Bang, bang...
The sounds of battle echoed through the area.
Hundreds of players were besieging a black giant bear.
The bear stood upright, towering over four ters tall, with a massive fra. Each swing of its giant paws took down two to three players at a ti.
The knights at the forefront were terrified. This colossal creature was beyond their capability to handle.
Aron stood at the rear of the crowd, his expression indifferent, and shouted, "No one retreats! Anyone who dies will be compensated with ten thousand dollar!"
With such a reward, everyone seed to be fueled with adrenaline, recklessly charging at the bear despite the danger.
Next to Aron was a burly man dressed as a warrior. Watching the white flashes of death in the battlefield, he frowned and said, "Brother Unrivaled, isn't this too cruel? The players now aren't strong enough to deal with this giant bear."
The man was the leader of the Overlord Guild, Overlord.
He was the one who discovered the hidden boss and, lacking the strength to take it down, sold the information to the Wind and Cloud Guild.
Aron glanced at him and replied indifferently, "Great achievents require sacrifice. Besides, these people aren't really dying."
Overlord frowned, disagreeing with Aron's philosophy.
While in-ga death wasn't real, it still inflicted significant ntal harm.
No one could guarantee that frequent in-ga deaths wouldn't affect real-life ntal health.
The Earth Ard Bear had already been sold to the Wind and Cloud Guild, so Overlord held his tongue and continued observing the battle.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Earth Ard Bear slamd the ground, causing spikes of earth to surge up, engulfing the archers and mage squads in the rear.
Screams echoed, and white lights flashed as a dozen ranged players were instantly killed.
Aron's face darkened; the ranged players were the main attackers and couldn't afford heavy casualties.
Seeing the Earth Ard Bear preparing another attack, he quickly ordered, "Mages, archers, spread out! Knights and warriors, get up front and don't give the Earth Ard Bear any chance to use its skills."
The knights and warriors fearlessly charged forward, managing to temporarily suppress the Earth Ard Bear.
Arrows rained down and spells whizzed through the air, striking the massive bear.
Most attacks couldn't even penetrate its defenses, dealing only 1 point of forced damage.
However, with hundreds of people attacking simultaneously, the cumulative damage was still significant.
The Earth Ard Bear's 2000 health points had been halved after several rounds of attacks.
...
John and Sini hid in the thick grass, watching the battle unfold.
At that mont, the Earth Ard Bear unleashed another powerful attack, instantly killing over twenty archers and mages.
The level 10 elite boss was far stronger than a head boss.
Sini felt a chill down her spine and looked at Godslayer beside her, asking, "Big shot, can you handle this big guy?"
John shook his head. The Earth Ard Bear had high physical and magical resistances and possessed long-range area skills. Even if he could kill it, it would co at a significant cost.
But he didn't need to defeat the Earth Ard Bear head-on.
John was well aware of Aron's tactics.
Aron would sacrifice guild mbers to whittle down the boss's health, then deliver the killing blow himself.
John kept a close eye on the Earth Ard Bear's health.
Soon, it had dropped to just over 300, and the Earth Ard Bear beca enraged, breaking through the knights' defensive formation and charging towards the mages and archers in the
back.
"Stay here," John instructed Sini, preparing to make his move.
The grass rustled as he quickly advanced.
Everyone's attention was on the Earth Ard Bear, so no one noticed John.
"Young master!" Matt appeared beside Aron like a ghost, reporting, "It's down to 30 health
points. Be careful."
Aron nodded, imdiately commanding, "Everyone stop attacking! Knights and warriors,
keep it busy."
The archers and mages retreated while the warriors and knights used their lives to block the Earth Ard Bear, giving Aron a chance to strike.
Boom, boom...
Explosions rang out as players were continually killed.
Aron remained unfazed, switching to a long spear and seizing the mont to charge at the
Earth Ard Bear.
Whoosh!
A fireball suddenly flew toward him.
Aron quickly rolled to the ground, narrowly dodging the fireball aid not at him, but at the
Earth Ard Bear.
Aron, furious, turned to the mage squad and yelled, "Who attacked?"
"Boss, it's Godslayer!" a player recognized John and hastily warned.
"Godslayer?" Aron was stunned, then quickly realized that this guy was trying to steal the
boss kill!
Boom!
-27
The fireball hit the Earth Ard Bear, dealing 27 damage.
The bear still wasn't dead.
It had 3 health points left.
Aron breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the boss had high magical resistance; otherwise, all their efforts would have been
in vain.
"Stop him, now!" Aron, panicking, gave the order and rushed towards the Earth Ard Bear, knowing that with only 3 health points left, one hit would kill it.
And novice mages can only master one skill with a 3-second cooldown, so Godslayer wouldn't
have ti to make another move.
Aron, feeling confident, suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him.
A wind blade swiftly caught up with him.
Godslayer had a second skill!?
Aron's eyes widened in fear and despair.
The wind blade was only 0.1 seconds faster than his spear, striking the Earth Ard Bear.
[Novice Village Announcent: Player Godslayer has slain the hidden boss Earth Ard Bear in Novice Village, opening the passage to Jade City. Reward: 10 free attribute points, 1 skill
point.]
[Players can leave Novice Village and proceed to Jade City for job advancent after reaching
level 10.]
The village announcent echoed.
"No!" Aron roared in despair and fury, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at John. "Godslayer, I'll
tear you to pieces..."
Boom!
A fireball hit him, and his voice was abruptly cut off as he was instantly killed.
"He killed our guild leader!"
"Get him! Avenge the boss!"
...
The Wind and Cloud Guild mbers cursed and charged at John.
He sneered, casting Fire Rain, and a wave of white lights flashed as the weak players were
instantly killed.
Amid the chaos, a graceful figure appeared, leaving trails of white lights in her wake.
It was Sini.
She slaughtered the Wind and Cloud Guild players without hesitation, seeing it as an opportunity to earn Godslayer's trust.
In just a few minutes, the remaining hundred-plus players of the Wind and Cloud Guild were slaughtered by the two individuals.
Only Overlord, the leader of the Overlord Guild, had the presence of mind to flee imdiately.
The money from selling the boss was already in his account, so there was no need to risk his
life for Aron.
...
Novice Village resurrection point.
Aron's face was as dark as night, his chest heaving, eyes burning with rage.
"Cough!"
Overwheld with anger, Aron spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Young master?" Matt was startled, quickly supporting the staggering Aron.
Aron steadied himself with difficulty, his voice trembling as he asked, "Matt, how much did
we lose this ti?"
Matt remained silent for a mont, then sighed, "At least seventy million..."
"Seventy million!" Aron's face turned pale, his teeth gritted.
He knew the losses extended far beyond the monetary value.
Two consecutive devastating blows had left the Wind and Cloud Guild in disarray, making it
nearly impossible to reorganize.
Taking a deep breath to quell his fury, Aron coldly commanded, "Order Sini. She has two days
-just two days-to get Godslayer's real information, or she'll lose her freedom forever!"
With that, he logged off abruptly.
