Chapter 16 (2/2)

“Our guild and the other three guilds can take control of the Novice Village. Why should be afraid of a sole player?”

“President, are you having a crush on the guy? You have met him only once.”

“He is only a sole player. Why would you be afraid of him?”

Halfway through their journey back, the members of the Rosette Guild could no longer hold themselves back. Every one of them impatiently asked, trying to understand the reason behind Scarlet Rose’s decision.

“Everyone, calm down. We have to trust our president,” The vice president spoke out, but she didn’t say much.

As the leader, the vice president had to maintain the order. However, that did not stop her from wanting to know the reason as well.

If they did not get a reasonable reason that day, the trust of the players they had previously accumulated would gradually fade away. No one would commit themselves to the guild anymore in the future.

Scarlet Rose smiled bitterly and turned around. After a moment of silence, she said, “Everyone, calm down.”

“I know how you feel. After all, Heavenly Cloud had slain me too, and Heavenly Cloud was the one who slayed me.”

“I didn’t allow you guys to deal with Heavenly Cloud or even go and deal with him myself because he is not someone we can defeat easily. It’s better for us not to offend him.”

“The first time I saw that guy was at the entrance of the Novice Village. He was buying Wild Boar Tusks. After that, we instantly met him slaying the Boss. The time interval between the two incidents wasn’t long, but Heavenly Cloud’s equipment and level were far ahead of us.”

“Then he had two skills. One of it was something like a stealth mode, and the other was a range attack skill.”

“The appearance of these two types of skills had broken the balance in the Novice Village. I can’t think of other possibilities, except for he had accomplished some hidden quest.”

“If Heavenly Cloud hadn’t obtained the stealth mode skill, I would have been the first person to agree to deal with him. However, now that he has obtained the skill, there’s nothing we can do about him.”

“We can kill him and get his equipment, but the skill will still stay with him. The Rosette Guild couldn’t afford the loss of wasting more time. Your levels will stagnate, and eventually, others could surpass you. That will affect your development in the real world. It’s better to avoid that from happening.”

“For example, what if when we were dealing with the Boss just now, I joined forces with the other three guilds and slayed Heavenly Cloud when his skills were colling down. After that, his stealth mode skill will recover, and he’ll use it and kill us again. I’m sure you know how it would end, at last, don’t you?”

The Rosette Guild players fell silent as they thought twice about the things Scarlet Rose had just said.

“That will lead to an endless cycle. Heavenly Cloud’s level is much higher than ours. His basic attack damage is high, and his equipment will only advance. However, it would be the same no matter we had a weapon or not. He could still kill us with a single slash.”

“We’ll kill him once. He will kill us for revenge. If it causes grudge to grow, he will eventually destroy our guild.”

The vice president spoke out her thoughts after pondering for a while.

“No,” Scarlet Rose shook her head slightly and said, “You’re talking about the best outcome. If the situation is slightly worse, it’ll be Heavenly Cloud slaying all of us.”

“There is a huge difference in our level and equipment. Moreover, Heavenly Cloud’s skills are way better than ours. We can’t stop him.”

“He will become the strongest assassin and warrior.”

The members of the Rosette Guild remained silent. However, they felt more eased than just now.

Indeed, someone had slain the players because they were battling the Boss this time. It was a normal situation. So, it was best for them to forgive and forget. They felt it was unnecessary to ruin their future because they wanted revenge.

The higher authorities of New World didn’t reveal any information about this game, but everyone had their guesses.

“Then what if Heavenly Cloud thought we are weaklings and targets for us the next time?” One of the members asked loudly from behind the crowd of players.

Scarlet Rose’s gaze turned cold and merciless as she said without hesitation, “If there’s a next time and he targets us, then I’ll personally take the lead and fight Heavenly Cloud!”
