Chapter 408: Lonesome (1/2)
“What the hell is this?! Who told me that they wouldn’t succeed and that they would be wiped out?!”
On the other side of Briene Theater, Blackskull Guild Leader Brooke was seen screaming in anger when she heard the announcement being broadcasted throughout the Nevareth Continent.
Her officers around her just wore bitter smiles on their faces as they didn’t expect that their decisions would actually turn out to be a blunder, and it became even worse thinking that they had once again underestimated the Revenant Guild, costing them huge losses because of the common understanding in virtual games that players several levels behind Event Bosses or other Bosses are an impossible hurdle to overcome, and the same scene is also happening to the other guilds, especially the ones hostile towards the Revenant Guild.
“What’s this? These people are really becoming a sore at the side” Okhoron who personally led and joined this expedition against the Undead Army just laughed lightly with a smile on his face, but those who knew him well know that he’s actually really mad and frustrated right now.
The same scene was also happening at multiple places, even those who had friendly relations with Revenant Guild like those from Edyrem Alliance were also shook and frustrated by the sudden news of the successful raid.
After all, being the first to participate in a successful raid on a BOSS at the level of a World Boss is an achievement, or so they say in the streets or social media, a huge flex that one can boast about.
And the most important thing is that it was headed by a guild not part of the nine major guilds, which is certainly a huge slap on their faces for ignoring a mission that they could have completed themselves if they just tried, and ignored the conventional view that Boss’s with multiple levels ahead of you is an impossible feat to achieve.
It was just a pity that they had forgotten that Fate Online is already a game ahead of its predecessors, and shouldn’t be lumped together with the other games that had gone past their heydays.
Meanwhile, at another corner of the continent.
Shadow was busy eating some jerky in a corner when the sound of the sudden World Announcement echoed through the skies, startling him.
[World Announcement! The mini-boss [Death Knight, Aradon] has been slain!]
Wearing a smile on his face, he mumbled, “Must be fun, I wish I was there with them, and I wonder what items they got? It’s actually…surprising that they were able to defeat a monster at the level of a World Boss? Wait, that’s really weird, just how did they manage to do that?”
But what Shadow didn’t know was that they were just incredibly lucky that they had managed to ride on the coattails of a powerful NPC, and as the saying goes, they were just at the right place, at the right time.

“We were actually included on the raid! Let’s go!” one player said among the group of players gathered around Solitary Tempest, isolated from the rest of the people from Revenant Guild as the other players were too shy or scared to even approach them.
