A stream of system alerts bombarded Izroth and the mbers of Sacred Beasts.
A few seconds later, the Failed Chira’s stun effect finally wore off as everyone could move again; however, the players from Sacred Beasts remained motionless as though they were still under the effects of the Failed Chira.
They were dumbfounded by what they had just witnessed. In one strike, Izroth removed the last 1% of the Failed Chira’s HP!
While 1% may not seem like that much damage, one had to take into account that the Failed Chira was a world boss! Even if its HP was on the lower end for world bosses, a single player dealing that much damage in one strike was inconceivable.
However, when those from Sacred Beasts reviewed the battle logs, they nearly fainted at the sight. 300,000 damage—he dealt over 300,000 damage with one skill! It was no wonder that the last percentage of the Failed Chira’s HP plumted so fast.
’It’s useful. But, the cost and stack accumulation process is a bit troubleso.’
What Izroth used to finish off the Failed Chira was the skill he acquired after destroying Vostrcane’s City Magic Grid and wiping out the entire city along with its inhabitants—Ruthless Slaughterer. The miasma he unleashed was from one of the skill’s two effects, Unbridled Kill Count.

Izroth placed his Sword of The Storm into its sheath as he noticed several gazes locked onto him.
’I suppose this much is a given.’
Izroth could sense the wariness so of the Sacred Beasts players possessed. After seeing what he was able to accomplish firsthand, so probably feared that he would take this opportunity to turn on them. However, Izroth paid this no mind and simply shook his head inwardly.
Many of them were still in their battle mode after fighting the Failed Chira for so long. By the ti he joined them, Izroth had estimated that they had been battling the world boss for at least an hour. They were fatigued and ntally drained, so it was only natural that they were on edge.
Of course, if Izroth wanted them dead, he would not have waited until the Failed Chira’s defeat to make it happen.
"Splendid. You are truly splendid, Mr. First Place. I have to say I held so reservations regarding your self-appraisal, but what you said is true. It seems I’ve really gotten myself a good bargain this ti." ng Jiang said with a delightful smile as she approached Izroth without concern.
Seeing their guild leader’s behavior made the others from Sacred Beasts relax. A few of them even collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. The physical part was sothing they could handle for hours on end, but facing a world boss where one slip up was enough to end all their hard work was ntally taxing.
"A deal is a deal. The first item is yours for the taking. Ah, I saw that a common material dropped sowhere in the loot pile—feel free to take that one. In fact, it cos with my personal recomndation." ng Jiang stated with a glowing smile.
The atmosphere was dead silent after ng Jiang finished speaking. However, that did not last for long.
"Pfft...!" One Shot Brick tried to hold back his laughter, but he failed miserably.
"Ahahahaha! Guild leader, you’re too much! Hahahaha!" One Shot Brick burst out laughing. He was soon followed by the other mbers of Sacred Beasts.
"Hehehe, leader, you really hate to lose profit, don’t you?" Banshee comnted with a giggle.
"That’s our shaless guild leader for you! Ahahaha!"
"How can she say it to his face with a smile? Bwahahaha!"
"What personal recomndation? Hey, Mr. First Place, don’t let our guild leader scam you! Hahaha!"
"Yeah, Mr. First Place! You earned it!"
"Mr. First Place!"
The battlefield that was flooded with an intense atmosphere just monts ago had transford into a field of laughter. In addition, everyone seed to have adopted ng Jiang’s nickna for Izroth and started to refer to him as Mr. First Place.
’On the surface, she appears careless, but every move she has made since our encounter has been a calculated one. Interesting.’
ng Jiang undoubtedly sensed the tense atmosphere and imdiately acted to eradicate it.
The deal she made with him earlier was also one that seed to be a spur of the mont thing, but Izroth could tell that it was sothing well thought out.
In the little ti that she knew Izroth, ng Jiang had already ford a long term connection with his Mystical Realm Palace by using Rosentarus resources as a bargaining chip. She promised him a favor from her Sacred Beasts, effectively building a gateway for future interaction. She also got a glimpse of his strength and a good understanding of his temperant.
Not to ntion the Complete Analysis of her wolf beast, Acogu’An, that Izroth was still unaware of. To accomplish so much within such a short amount of ti—this ng Jiang was perhaps one of the more frightening guild leaders of the top ten guilds. It would also explain why none of the other top guilds attempted to force their way into Rosentarus after Sacred Beasts had already established themselves.
"Then, I’ll take your recomndation into consideration," Izroth replied with a carefree smile as he walked over to the loot and searched through it.
’The loot from world bosses are truly on another level compared to what you can find in dungeons.’
There were dozens of rare items and materials that dropped from the Failed Chira. Even an Ancient ranked material and a few epic quality equipnt pieces showed up! Though this much was to be expected since this was the first kill on the Failed Chira.
’The first thing that stands out is the Ancient material. That being said, it’s unfortunate that none of the epic equipnt suits . There is an interesting necklace among the rare items, but it won’t serve much purpose.’
Izroth pondered over what item to take from the loot pile, and after spending a few monts thinking it over, he ca to a decision.
’Let’s go with this one.’
Izroth picked up an item and placed it into his inventory as he walked away from the pile of loot.
"An interesting choice. I was confident that you would go for the Ancient material or one of the epic pieces of equipnt." ng Jiang comnted.
"The eyes perceive as the mind lies—do you know this saying?" Izroth asked. He narrowed his eyes as if he noticed sothing unusual.
ng Jiang shook her head and said, "I’ve never heard of it. But, if I had to guess, I would say it has sothing to do with not believing everything you see. Though I must say, the reason eludes as to why you brought this up."
"You are half-correct," Izroth replied.
"Oh? Then, will you enlighten as to what it is that I am missing?" ng Jiang inquired.
"Just that it seems you’ve made so enemies, guild leader ng Jiang. You all should prepare to defend yourselves." Izroth said.
"What are you-" Just as ng Jiang was about to speak, sothing happened.
Hooooooooowl!
All of a sudden, Acogu’An howled as a rain of arrows shot towards the sky from every direction of the forested area.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
The arrows curved as they rained down from the air, heading right for the remaining mbers of the raid party.
It was an ambush!
