Chapter 540: Another Party getting involved (1/2)
...…
”Come, try and take it from me,” said Shin with a sneering tone while also making a provoking gesture at the mysterious player.
'I can't read his information? This guy is not your average John Doe then,' he thought to himself when he failed to read the basic information of the guy even with the help of 'True Sight' observation Skill.
On the other hand, the mysterious would naturally recognize Shin since he was not wearing his signature mask to hide his identity.
”Don't get too cocky, newbie. You are just a little cub who barely reached the pinnacle of Virtual World,” said the mysterious player who seemed to be mocking Shin's actions.
Shin suddenly knitted his eyebrows when he heard those words. 'An old-timer like Arthur?'
At the same time, he also saw that the mysterious player was swapping out the special items on his hand with a real weapon this time; and it was a pair of daggers.
Seeing that his opponent was getting ready to battle, Shin also started making his preparations and took his battle stance.
Due to that, the temperature inside the room dropped sharply as the auras coming from the bodies of the two started clashing against each other.
When the mysterious player saw that Shin was able to negate the aura that he released, he suddenly started grinning from ear to ear before saying. ”You sure are one hell of a guy. Our group is already keeping an eye on you, but we still can't figure out your real strength – especially with that insane growth rate that you have.”
Hearing that, Shin couldn't hold his curiosity anymore and asked with a solemn tone. ”You know who I am?”
Then he suddenly remembered the thing that Leonard had said about the members of a notorious and mysterious organization. ”Are you from the 'Pandemonium Descendants'?”
The mysterious player couldn't hide his surprise when he heard the words from Shin. He then started chuckling before saying. ”This is quite unexpected, to think that a 'newbie' player knows our existence? You sure are an interesting one.”
But at the same time, he also remembered Shin's connection with Arthur and Leonard. ”Oh~! No, you probably already heard about us from those two, the famous Dragon God: Siegfried and notorious War God: Simba.”
”Those two really are going to be a problem for us in the future. I guess we now need to turn our focus on eliminating them as soon as possible before they hinder our plans,” he muttered in a soft voice, seemingly forgetting about Shin's existence.
Seeing that his opponent was slightly getting distracted, Shin wanted to take advantage of that situation and planned to make his move.
But right before he could take the first step forward, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation shrouding his entire body.
”What was that,” mumbled Shin to himself, fully confused.
At the same time, he also heard the mysterious player talking. ”It is still too early for you to challenge a 'Troupe' member such as myself. If you want to have the qualifications, then go deal with our 'Head Sweepers' first.”
After that, a portal suddenly appeared behind him before raising his head slightly to let Shin see the mocking smile that he was currently wearing.
”Just say my greetings to those monsters on your side! And tell them that I'll claim their heads soon,” he said before stepping on the space portal behind him.
But before fully stepping on it, he suddenly remembered something and immediately added. ”Ah~! Before I forget, hold that divine horn for me for the time being. I'll take it back later, so you better properly protect it from the other 'fishermen' around.”
”And in exchange, I will give you my name, 'Mammon'. Engrave it in your mind very well for I am going to make sure to delete your in-game account in the future,” after that, he continued stepping backward while leaving some maniacal laughs for Shin to be heard.
Naturally, Shin wanted to stop Yama from getting away. Unfortunately, it was already too late, especially that the void gate was already closing.
Moreover, he could also sense some movements coming from the outside. They were probably the guard who took away the other players that didn't pass the so-called test earlier.
”Tsk!” Even though he was unwilling to leave, Shin didn't have any other choice since this incident was going to be pinned on him if he didn't get out of this place as soon as possible.
Having that in mind, Shin immediately used the 'Dark Cloaking' skill to enter a sheath state. And quickly after that, he secretly left the tribe leader's residence before rushing towards the place where he heard the group.
Not long after, Shin met with the others and quickly told them to leave.
”What!? I thought we were going to defeat that Tribe Leader?” asked Arthur, full of confusion. Though, he still chased after Shin who already ran quite a distance.
Following closely behind them was Leonard who was also running on his feet. Meanwhile, Chaotic Luck and Cloe were currently riding their mounts to keep up with the insane speed of the trio.
”He is already dead!” said Shin without even turning his head at them.
”What?”
This time, the group became even more confused when they heard those words. But at the same time, Arthur started complaining immediately after. ”What the hell man~!? We are supposedly going to take him down together, how come you left us behind and have all the fun?”
On the other hand, the other three were currently wearing a weird look on their faces as they didn't know how to react to the words that they heard from Shin.
Sensing that Leonard was not saying anything, Arthur couldn't help but turned his head at him and asked. ”Hey! Why are you not scolding him?! Don't you feel betrayed.”
