Chapter 273: Holy Statue (1/2)

The Players who rushed across thousands of miles to join the special quest were absolutely upset when they realized that the Boss of the special quest had been killed by another Wild Boss.

Even so, they couldn’t even take down the Wild Boss to compensate for their loss—as the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior’s emotions overflowed, his heart melted down, killing him right after he punched Vlad, Father of Nightstalkers to death.

Worse, there were no item drops since neither of those Bosses were killed by the Players. Hence, the Players who participated in the quest could only receive suitable rewards…

But setting aside the dissatisfaction of the Players, the ones who were most astonished by the small-scale battle was unquestionably the Long Ears, who had come to aid the Players albeit ending up becoming bystanders and witnessing the entire course of events.

After all, the Mountain Tigers whose strength were only next to the Grayclaws had been wiped out right in front of them!

In the first place, Rangka was merely following orders from his brother the Long Ears’ chief, leading Laybit and a group of their tribesmen to indicate their stance-wrongly assuming that the Hyena-men had been targeting their tribe instead of the Players.

From their perspective, the Players’ unrestrained pursuit of the Hyena-men after chasing them back to the Mountain Tigers’ stronghold was like hosting a not-too-familiar guest, only to have said guest take a bullet for the host before clubbing that shooter into a cripple, after of which the guest interrogated them and uncovered the true mastermind, hence running off to stab said mastermind to death…

Still, despite how unusual everything that felt, it was generally a selfless, emotion-stirring move.

Deciding that since their guests were so hardworking, the Long Ears’ chief decided that his tribe shouldn’t be eating their seafood while enjoying the show.

Hence, he ordered Rangka and what few youths of the tribe to aid them-it was probably like the host deciding that it was devastating enough for their guests to take a mop and rush the enemy, and so picked up a butcher knife to follow suit.

But in the end, the guest had somehow stabbed the powerful, durable masterminds to death in no time at all, even adding ‘whoever said that you can’t kill without a spear tip?’

Rangka was at a loss of words to describe these humans calling themselves ‘Players’, but in the end had one thought.

They’re just too awesome.

He had been a little unhappy with his brother arranging a team to help the Players and convinced that he was sending them on a suicide mission. Still, he immediately adopted a sincere stance, knowing now that his brother is truly the chief of their tribe and could see much further than he did.

In fact, much, much further!

When he returned to the Long Ears’ village and debriefed his brother about what he saw, the chief kept an impassive, ‘I-expected-that’ look even though his tail was straightened behind him in astonishment.

The Long Ears’ chief was friendly enough towards the Players from the very start because of Laybit and Zonyan for saving his life, but he didn’t imagine that the Players would command such great power.

Truly intimidatingly powerful.
