316 The Strong Dominate the Weak (2/2)
Dominator's Guild was from the Elf City. Archers made up the bulk of their members and the Quan Zhen Sect had just observed their fighting style recently - Warriors would form a wall in the front while Archers attacked together. Only bosses would be able to take the punishment from this sort of shameless attacking style with their high health. If it were players, barely any would be left standing. Even Wang Yu felt that it was difficult to deal with.
The final Grand Alliance was impressive as well. They were a veteran guild in the world of online gaming guilds with a history that traced back even further than Termination Manor. The 'Master Squad' under them had been in the top four of the professional gaming league consecutively for six times.
Their Guild Leader, an Archer named ”Irritated Master”, was on the top rankings of District 7 - the only player above Level 24 other than the members of Quan Zhen Sect.
One had to know that although the Quan Zhen Sect members put in a lot of effort in training and doing quests, they owed a great part of being able to advance to beyond Level 25 to the assistance they rendered to Sanguine Alliance in securing a guild headquarters.
On the other hand, Irritated Master did this through pure, honest grinding… Such terrifying efficiency wasn't just at the level of a person obsessed with increasing his level.
As the host, Blazing Sun Guild's Guild Leader, Sunny Day, stepped out to speak first. ”Peerless old friend, is the large expanse of land of Elf City not enough? You've actually come to our Blazing Sun City to KS our boss?”
Sunny Day was obviously a numbskull as he didn't care about the current situation. Three of the guilds here were large guilds of over 2000 members in strength and also not from the area. After his bold statement, the faces of Sanguine Warflag and Irritated Master turned black.
Peerless Dominator coldly replied, ”Blazing Sun City isn't your house. I'll just come and go as I please. We could even move our guild headquarters here if we wanted to?”
Sanguine Warflag added on: ”That's right, the lucky boss doesn't belong to you, so are you trying to take it for yourself?”
Normally Sanguine Warflag had a very bad temper. The Blazing Sun Guild were simply making the rest stand around by leveraging on their status as the local guild even though they weren't a particularly large sect. But Sunny Day actually still dared to target the other three sects with his statement. This was obviously an attempt to get themselves killed before they managed to kill the boss.
”Eh…” Sunny Day eventually read the situation correctly and shut up after seeing the changed look on Sanguine Warflag's and Irritated Master's faces.
While he might have been stupid, he wasn't a complete idiot. Blazing Sun Guild and Dominator's Guide had some conflicts before, so his words were really targeting Peerless Dominator. Who knew that the other two parties would take it personally as well?
Everyone else let Sunny Day off the hook when they saw that he wasn't a total idiot, and Peerless Dominator changed the topic: ”Master, Sanguine, we're all old acquaintances. I'm not a very smart guy and it isn't easy for us to find a boss, so I don't want to continue fighting with you two. Hence why don't the two of you come up with a plan for us to compete fairly without ruining the harmony between us?”
Peerless Dominator didn't even care about Sunny Day when he directed his question towards Irritated Master and Sanguine Warflag, but despite that, Sunny Day still did not rebut at all. Instead, he simply shot a death stare in Peerless Dominator's direction.
It was obviously out of humility that Peerless Dominator called himself 'not smart'. He spoke of 'fairness' also to point out that the boss was discovered by him in an attempt to gain some benefits for himself.
But of course, how could a person that climbed to the top of a guild be someone easy to deal with?
On the other hand, Sanguine Warflag wasn't as nimble-minded, so it was more difficult for him to make a decision. Hence he decided to feign stupidity to the end and chuckled while saying: ”I'm not that good at working my brain either. We'll have to ask Irritated Master how to settle this matter.”
Irritated Master was indeed an old-school guild leader - thick-skinned, black-hearted - and he ignored Peerless Dominator's words without a second thought before plainly saying: ”It's simple, every guild will send a team to fight the boss while everyone else stands far away and does not interfere. The boss will belong to whichever team that kills it, how about that?”
