When almost everyone finished reading the important notice, and the special condition, their mouths were left agape.
None of them were capable of muttering a single word as they needed ti to comprehend.
Even the viewers of the livestream from OneMandia were dumbfounded by such status ailnts.
[Is this raid even possible at all?]----Anonymous User 3409
[This isn’t a raid, but hell… literally!!]----Anonymous User 007
[My condolences to the Raiders. May you rest in peace!]----Anonymous User 1341
[I’m going to make a gambling bet right now that they will all die and end up with a complete wipeout. Who’s willing to bet along?]----Anonymous User 2304
[I bet 100 worth of Castles that they will succeed.]----Anonymous User 6666
As the viewers lightened up with the gambling suggestion offered by Anonymous User 2304, the comnt section quickly turned lax. Though the sa could not be said for the raiders who were personally experiencing the dreadful environnt, especially with its hostility against them.
"Guild Leader, are the enemies here quite easy to kill?" OneMandia swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and asked.
This whole dungeon environnt was literally forcing the players to beco the fish on the chopping board. They were like a fish out of the ocean, and could only watch as the monsters cut and diced them into nurous parts.
Amidst nearly everyone’s shock and horror, only two people were composed.
One of them was without a doubt Xu Feng, and the other one was surprisingly Carn.

"Oh, aren’t you afraid and going to react like them?" Xu Feng turned to her and asked, amused by her calm composure.
When he recalled her reaction during their ti in killing the Ironhide Behemoths, she was overly expressive.
Now, it seed as if she had got rid of that habit of overreacting.
And to his amusent, Carn glanced at him with a cold smirk. "Guild Leader, based on your reaction and nonchalant attitude as usual. I’m sure you have a plan already. So long as I follow them to the tee, what is there to be afraid of?"
"It appears that you have a lot of trust in ." Pleased, Xu Feng was finally glad to have soone not question his every move or doubt him.
Unfortunately, the reason behind Carn after her explanation nearly caused him to stumble to the ground.
"Guild Leader is a petty and ultimate scher. There’s no way you would do sothing that will result in your loss. This is my great trust in you." Carn smiled brightly and patted her chest lightly, almost as if she wanted to express that she had his back.
"..."
Shaking his head, Xu Feng didn’t linger further on this topic and turned to the players behind who were busy trying to compose themselves.
"Clerics, imdiately cast so soothing spells to calm the nerves of your group, and rember to stay at the center. Your life is more precious than anyone here, so if there must be a sacrifice, send the tank first to die." Xu Feng coolly commanded.
Shortly after receiving the command, the nurous Clerics began casting their spells amidst the sullen expression of those in the Tank Classes.
’Am I going to be sacrificed from the start?’ Ardent Lance, who was a Knight Lancer, felt a cold chill running down his spine. After all, he had to be grouped with the Raid Leader of all people.
And the fact that he didn’t volunteer to be here made it worse as he was recomnded by his very own Guild Leader, Herald Fist, who practically shoved him to OneMandia when he was asking for a tank class.
Herald Fist’s explanation was that this was the perfect opportunity to establish a close connection with Xu Feng, and proceeded to point out that two mbers of the Silver Wind guild were already in his group.
’Guild Leader, I don’t think I can even live enough for the extra bonus you offer.’ Ardent Lance cried inwardly, along with the nurous silent tank classes who were destined to be sacrificed or take the brunt of any danger.
"Ardent Lance!"
Suddenly, at this mont, Ardent Lance heard his na being called by the Raid Leader.
His body shuddered and his mouth twitched. He didn’t want to respond to it, but for so reason, he felt soone’s hand touching his back.
And before he knew what was going on, he got pushed forward, directly eting Xu Feng’s nightmare mask.
Yes, it was a nightmare mask!
The mask might have covered Xu Feng’s face, but Ardent Lance felt as if he had gained so superpower to perceive what was behind the mask.
Sweat drenched Ardent Lance’s back as he asked, "Yes, Raid Leader?"
"Why are you sweating already?" Xu Feng asked in concern and lightly patted his shoulder. "I’ve cast my group in advance with a calming spell already, so you shouldn’t be so nervous."
"Haha, I’m naturally nervous when it cos to serious matters. I’ve made a fool of myself." Ardent Lance laughed awkwardly, brushing his nervousness as a natural cause and totally not because of Xu Feng’s presence.
"Pfft, finally soone can understand my pain." Standing far behind from Ardent Lance’s nerve-wracking scene, was Steelshot who had cleverly concealed his presence.
"Aren’t you worried that karma might hit you back, Steelshot?" Steelshot’s fellow mber, SilentWhisper questioned softly.
"Heh, what karma? The Raid Leader wanted tanks, but I ain’t no tank. I’m a gunner and classified as DPS." Steelshot chuckled in a low voice, clearly wary of his sound being too loud.
However, there was one thing he failed to calculate. Despite the atmosphere being gloomy, with so occasional sounds echoing from unknown areas, barely anyone was actually speaking at the mont.
Thus, his whispers were easily heard by many.
"Steelshot, co forward and be a pillar of support for Ardent Lance! Let him understand what it ans to be courageous against all dangers." Xu Feng suddenly yelled loudly, much to the horror of Steelshot, who had slumped to the ground.
"You jinxed , SilentWhisper!" He cried aloud, blaming her for speaking out and causing him to be in such a predicant.
