Chapter 145 Up For Grabs? Its Already Taken! (1/2)
...
While Niflheim was furious at Minus, it was already too late to do anything about it with the Brooding Behemoth Basbus being so close to death. Right now, their main priority was supposed to be to secure the boss monster, but Niflheim had a bad feeling about it.
There was something warning him that some things would not go as expected. The person giving him this strange feeling was a player wielding a sword with lightning crackling around it. That player had a calm expression on his face as if nothing could cause him to be troubled.
That player was none other than Izroth. After surprising Niflheim a few times, Izroth was someone he believed would accomplish many great things within RML.
”But, if you think I'll hand a rare event boss over to you so easily you're mistaken.” Niflheim said to himself. ”Main squadron on me! We're going to help secure the boss!” Niflheim ordered as he and twenty-five other members of Blue Oasis made their move.
When Minus saw that Niflheim was taking action against the low HP Brooding Behemoth Basbus, he became infuriated. However, he would not attack a member of his own guild or else the end results would be disastrous. This was even more so since Niflheim currently held the power of the Second Order.
”Captain Niflheim, me and my party are perfectly capable of securing this boss monster! You should focus your attention on keeping the opposing parties at bay.” Minus tried to get Niflheim to take up another task. After all, if Niflheim eliminated the boss then he would not receive a single point for all of his efforts. To Minus, this was unacceptable.
”What gives you the right to try and give me orders?” Niflheim was not polite with his words as he quickly snapped back. He had not forgotten about how Minus completely disregarded him and his orders just a few moments ago. Originally, he had no plans of interfering, but because of Minus' actions, he had no choice but to improvise.
Minus saw that Niflheim was not going to yield which angered him even further. ”So be it!” he said before preparing to launch one of his strongest attacks against the Brooding Behemoth Basbus.
In fact, many players were preparing to strike with their strongest skill at the end in order to secure the rare event boss. This was the very first rare event boss to appear during the Protectors of Amaharpe.
Not only would it drop rare equipment or items, but it was bound to grant the party and the individual who struck the final blow a ma.s.sive amount of event points. Even those at the very bottom of the list would immediately shoot up on the event leaderboards.
”Brother Izroth, it only has 60,000 HP remaining and it's falling fast!” Halls said just after took a heavy blow from the Brooding Behemoth Basbus.

Luna had timed her Heal just as the Brooding Behemoth Basbus struck down at Halls with its large gorilla-like arms. She had also used Healing Essence every time it was off cooldown to keep a constant healing source on Halls.
The Brooding Behemoth Basbus' attacks were noticeably faster, but it was still quite slow compared to the average boss monsters they had encountered so far. Thus, Halls was still able to maintain a firm stand against it.
Izroth did not respond as his attention was locked onto the HP of the boss monster. He had to time it just right so that there was no possibility of failure.
'I'll be breaking the rule I set. Though I believe with the current amount I have, it should be fine.'
Izroth halted his attacks against the Brooding Behemoth Basbus and stood there with his Blade of Lightning in hand.
”Hm?” The first to notice that Izroth had stopped his attacks against the boss monster was Minus. ”Well, it appears that at least one of them has some sense remaining.” he said to himself as he shook his head in disappointment. Izroth most likely feared the outcome if he were to mistakenly steal the boss from right under the noses of two top guilds.
Minus believed that even if Izroth was brave, he was not stupid. However, there was someone else who noticed Izroth break off his a.s.sault.
”What is he planning?” Niflheim muttered as he saw Izroth's unusual behavior. Unlike Minus, Niflheim did not believe Izroth held any such fears towards the top guilds. After all, when they had first met back in Opal Town, Izroth was not at all intimidated by the status he held.
That odd gut feeling began to surface once again within Niflheim.
Zhang Jie, who had also been partic.i.p.ating within the battle, had also caught wind of Izroth's actions. After seeing Izroth's playstyle, he could see why Ewan would be interested in such raw skill and talent. Of course, Zhang Jie knew Izroth by name only before today and this was his first time seeing him in person.
”He would be an interesting opponent.” Zhang Jie said with surprised Platic who was by his side. That battle fiend Zhang Jie actually said that someone would be an interesting opponent? Such news would shock anyone who heard it!
When the HP of the Brooding Behemoth Basbus reached around 43,000 Izroth made his move. An overbearing pressure was being released from his Blade of Lightning as he used the skill First Baneful Sword: Destruction.

Immediately after Izroth's sword connected, a tremendous amount of deadly killing intent started pouring out from Izroth's Blade of Lightning and filled up the surrounding atmosphere within twenty meters.
Minus, Niflheim, and Zhang Jie all went on high alert when they felt that aura. The nearby players were overcome with the feeling that something cold and sharp was being pressed up against their necks.
