257 The Emperor of the Nigh (1/2)

...…

Two more days had passed inside the game.

And these past two days had caused some great changes inside the game. Not just for the major populace of the Holy City but also for the Powerhouses residing in it.

First, the average level of the players in the City had gone up by a great margin due to the continuous supply of 'EXP'. This news even made most of the players and major powers of the neighboring Cities panic.

Having heard the news, most of these players regretted not going to Holy City in an earlier time to join the event. But as the saying said, regret always came too late. So, there was no point dwelling too much on it.

At least now, these players still had two days to join the fun. Even if they couldn't get any special rewards from this event due to being unregistered, they still could leech some EXP from the waves of monsters. Though they couldn't get points from them, it was worth it.

Because of these newly arrived 'invaders', the competition in the ongoing event had gotten even more intense and chaotic. Skirmishes and fights occasionally took place on different sides of the entire battlefield.

Speaking of conflicts, the leading figures of the Holy City were also having more and more conflicts with each other as the event progressed. Adding on the new powers that were trying to join the 'fun' with the intention of drawing out some benefits, it was natural to have small scale wars in different places outside the City walls.

Most of the First-Rate Guilds even joined forces for the time being so that they could go against the major Powerhouses of the Holy City. Though, the latter group didn't pay much attention to them since they didn't have much free time to deal with these small fries; their real targets were the last wave bosses after all.

For them, their real competitors were the powers of their same level and other invading groups with similar strength, especially the new groups that wanted to join the contest of getting the loots of the last-wave bosses of each day.

They needed to focus on dealing with them so that they could secure the kill and loots of the last-wave bosses, especially since they failed to get the first last-wave boss.

Or that was what they all believed.

Only recently had they realized that this wasn't really the case.

There was just a single group of players that they really needed to look out for.

A small group that consisted of only three members but possessed some battle prowess that could rival the leading groups of the City and the main teams of these Powerhouses.

And that group was naturally the trio of Shin, Cloe and Simba. After securing the first last-wave boss, Shin and Simba planned to monopolize all the remaining bosses themselves.

Plus, the chaos that was caused by the arrival of the new players and super powers from neighboring Cities, let Shin and the other to two take advantage of the current situation. They could easily dodge the sights of the scouts observing them from a distance, then make their way to the locations of their targets.

Given that, their 'Operation Kill Stealing' became even much easier than they had expected.

After the intense first day, all of the leading parties became even more eager to secure the kills of the remaining last-wave bosses. But who would have thought that something that they didn't expect would happen once again?

On the second day, while every Powerhouse was too busy warding off the other Powerhouses, the trio suddenly appeared at the last moment. They not only stole the kill of the second day's last-wave boss, but also took all the loots that were dropped at that very moment.

Witnessing that sight, the Powerhouses present on that place went mad and simultaneously tried to prevent the trio from getting away. But all of their attempts were fruitless as the three were not their average players but a group of monsters.

Simba was like an unstoppable killing machine that was going to slaughter anyone that was going to block his path. Each swing of his battle-axe would either send a group of players flying, or dead. His actions of cutting all of the players in front of him didn't halt, hence clearing a path for him and Cloe to take.

Cloe, on the other hand, was an untouchable priest since she was not only being led by Simba but also being protected by her golden bear and Blackie. Whenever someone tried to get near her, they were being killed by the combined forces of the two pets beside her.

Meanwhile, our man with the most action here was doing his best to steal most of the limelight away from the two, which was quite effective as most of the opposing players were too focused on him.

They targeted him first, he was the one carrying all of the loots from the monster boss drops after all. But too bad for them, Shin was akin to an unkillable ghost that they couldn't even touch. Aside from his super-fast speed that was hard to even catch a sight of, he also resembled a real ghost in the battlefield, with the help of his 'Phantom Dance' skill.
