Child of Destiny

……

All of the players present on this battlefield were currently staring dumbfoundedly at the sight right front of them. They couldn’t even believe what they had witnessed, especially that everything happened too fast. Fast to the point that their minds couldn’t keep up at what was happening.

Their brains were still not done processing what they had seen when another unbelievable thing occurred. They couldn’t keep up at the flow of battle at all! It was as if their minds were playing tricks at them and just imagining everything, while their eyes were just seeing things.

And that sight was more than enough to put the scouts from different guilds and other organizations in awe. They were also stunned looking at the three that toyed with the werewolf boss that could kill a group of players without putting much effort.

They only regained some of their composure when the werewolf boss finally had a chance to retaliate and started to fight back.

But even if that was the case, the werewolf boss looked like an ordinary monster boss instead of a raid type of monster as Simba pinned its place. No matter how fast this monster was, the War God was still able to see through its speed and movements while responding to them accordingly.

At the same time, Shin was able to keep up with the flow of battle given the bonuses that he received. While the werewolf boss was busy attacking Simba, he was also throwing some attacks of his own while circling around the monster. But he was also keeping track of the damages that he was dealing to make sure that he would not steal the aggro of the monster away from Simba.

And since Simba was doing good at pinning the werewolf boss, Cloe was currently having a good time at giving her assistance; she was also throwing some of her holy attacks from time to time. Of course, it was under the condition that she would not get the aggro from the monster.

Now that this battle was currently in the stabilized state, the players present at the place came back to looking stupidly at the scene and didn’t know whether to believe it or not.

The scouts from the powerful guilds and other organizations, on the other hand, started to quickly contract their higher-ups and asked them to move faster, because if they didn’t hurry now, this monster boss might fell at the hands of these three ‘monsters’.

Given that the battle was too intense for anyone to interfere, the other lesser werewolves were too afraid to jump in the battle. But that didn’t mean that they would also stand at the sidelines and watch the fight unfold. These monsters instead charged at the other players which were a bunch of easier prey on their eyes.

Seeing the incoming monster, the other players finally came back to their senses and started to fight back. Even if they knew for themselves that they couldn’t join the battle with the werewolf boss, they were at least a little confident at facing the lesser werewolves.

And just like that, the chaotic battle was resumed to what it was supposed to be.

At the same time, the golden bear and Blackie were protecting Cloe from werewolves that were trying to interrupt her from helping Shin and Simba.

…

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the powerful guilds and other organizations became troubled at the unexpected news that they had received, especially when they saw the footage of the battle.

And being fully aware that these guys were too strong, these organizations came into a decision of sending some of their elite and expert teams to that place.

But not everyone was the same as the other organizations who rejected the idea of going there. Aside from some of the organizations that were on the completely opposite side of that battlefield, there were also some groups that had guessed the identity of the berserker of the three, especially those that had some business with that guy just recently.

And one of those were S.Tigris and his group.

Black Hand watched the footage of the battle carefully before confirming it a little later. “It is him without a doubt. Even if he manages to hide his real battle style, he still can’t fool my eyes. This guy is really the War God: Simba. I am not sure about the identity of that priest, but I guess that other guy was ‘Sicarius’, that guy who took down the trio of ‘Saber Demon’, ‘Wandering Nomad’, and ‘Hand of the Dead: Hellban’ all by himself.”

S.Tigris raised his brows a little after hearing that before asking. “Are you sure? But-…”

Black Hand knew what was running on S.Tigris’ mind so he immediately added. “I am not 100% sure, but I am confident that he is that guy with 95% confidence. I know that it is quite unbelievable that his guy improved so much in just a short amount of time, but this guy’s battle style really resembles the battle style of ‘Sicarius’.”

“Tsk!” S.Tigris clicked his tongue and couldn’t help but think to himself. ‘What a scary guy. That is a very fast rate of growth. And with this strength, it looks like he is as strong as some Titled Rankers. No… It may even be comparable to some Peak-Titled Rankers.’

And after getting his confirmation, S.Tigris nodded his head and immediately headed to their officer-in-charge, the Alluring Goddess: Amanda. And as his right-hand man, Black Hand would naturally follow after him.

In the meantime, Amanda was currently having a meeting with other higher-ups of the Wing’s Alliance as they formulated a plan on how they were going to deal with the current situation.

And before they could even come up with a decision, S.Tigris and Black Hand arrived at them before joining their discussion. “I guess we should give up on this Last Wave Boss.”

Hearing his interrupting voice, the others quickly turned their heads at them with questioning looks on their faces.

And as usual, the one that questioned him first was D.Romeo who didn’t like him from the start. “And why are we going to do that? Do you have any idea what is the significance of this wave boss?”

S.Tigris smiled bitterly and said. “Of course, I am aware of the significance of this monster boss, but we can’t afford to provoke some unwanted attention for the time being. Especially that we are currently eyeing the control of the Holy City.”

D.Romeo started laughing when he heard that and mocked S.Tigris. “Hahaha… Again! With that stupid excuses of yours! It is the same as the thing that you said during the War on Shunkai Forest! If you are afraid of them just say so and don’t drag the guild with your cowardness.”

S.Tigris just shook his head while smiling bitterly after hearing that. He didn’t rebut those words as he felt that it was useless to fight with words against this kind of people.

And even if the King was merciful, that didn’t mean that his soldier was the same.

Hearing that his Captain was being ridiculed just like that, Black Hand couldn’t help but fight back with his words. “And didn’t because of that decision before that we avoid being taken advantage of the other guilds? And didn’t we also manage to get our current standing in the Holy City?”

D.Romeo raised one of his eyebrows when he heard that and wanted to rebut at him. Unfortunately, Amanda immediately cut in the discussion and interrupted them. “Alright, I understand what you guys are pointing out. But first, let’s hear out what’s on Captain S.Tigris’ side.”

S.Tigris released a helpless sigh before saying. “But the information that I am going to say is not something that can be heard by others.” 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

Those words raised a commotion to the others after hearing it.

Amanda, on the other hand, just looked at the pair of S.Tigris and Black Hand to observe them carefully. And when she saw that these two were serious about it and felt that there was really something important behind their words, all that she could do was to release a helpless sigh and ordered the others to leave for a moment.

The others were displeased with that but didn’t show it in front of her. What’s more, they couldn’t disobey her orders since she was the officer-in-charge on top of being the strongest in their group. All they could do was just throw some glaring daggers at S.Tigris and Black Hand.

When the others left, Amanda heard out what S.Tigris and Black Hand wanted to say. And when she heard what it was, she became shocked at what it was and even more shocked when she learned that they were the ones that initiated the monster horde event.

She became annoyed because they didn’t trust their own Guild to ask for some assistance, but at the same time, she also couldn’t blame them since there was really an internal conflict happening in their guild.

She took a deep breath before organizing the things that she learned while also weighing the pros and cons on the decision that she was going to make. And after a few more minutes, she decided to give up on this wave boss, since there were still four more bosses of the same caliber on the upcoming days.

And when she announced it to the others, they couldn’t help raise another commotion as they told her to reconsider. But Amanda already made a decision and would not change it no matter what.

Having some experience points and getting some rare item drops were really beneficial to their guild to raise its quality. But provoking a legendary figure such as Simba was something that they couldn’t afford to do too.

They didn’t mind going in war with other guilds, but provoking someone that had a history of crushing a powerful guild alone was another thing.

Their Guild might be a Super Guild of the game. But if Simba who was not tied to any powers and had no other concerns aside from himself, started hunting their elite and expert groups one by one, then the consequence that they would get was something that could take.

So, avoiding some unnecessary conflict for now was the best thing that they could do.

Even if the others were quite unwilling to obey, they couldn’t go against Amanda’s decision. At the very least, they could use this event against her for being a failed leader if ever this decision was made they lose their position on the Holy City.

On the other hand, all of the hate of these elders were directed at S.Tigris and Black Hand instead. They were the reason why Amanda changed her mind after all.

And while having these thoughts, D.Romeo couldn’t help but resent this duo even more. He looked at his right-hand man and whispered. “These newcomers are gaining more favor from the higher standing people. They are on the opposing function, right? I guess we need to put these guys in their place so that they will understand that the matters inside the Guild are much different than running a puny little Adventurer Team.”

His right-hand man nodded his head in understanding, before disappearing somewhere.

…

At the same time, similar things were currently happening across all of the other Powerhouses and Powerful Guilds. Though most of them arrived at the completely opposite conclusion; they decided to continue sending their experts and elite groups in that direction to steal the last wave boss.

So, what if those three were strong? They got the numbers coupled with some quality. Even if they were going to steal the boss from strong players, they still didn’t believe that they could take all of them down with the three of them alone, especially that they were not just a single guild but a bunch of it. No matter how they think about that, defeating the all of the guild with their numbers was an impossible feat.

After a few more minutes of rushing towards that direction, the elites and experts from different guilds arrived at the scene one by one.

And just like what they were expecting, the Werewolf Boss was still standing ‘healthy’, or so what they believed.

At first, they thought that the reports were a little extravagant, but what they were currently seeing was something that was even harder to believe.

Going to this place was somewhat troublesome since it was quite secluded and they were repeatedly being attacked by continuous waves of werewolves. Given that, most of them managed to arrive here within 30 minutes for the fastest group and 45 minutes for the slowest group.

That span of time was too short for the others to cut the health bar of the powerful monster boss down to 50% of its grand total. But right in front of their eyes was something hard to believe.

These three players were able to cut down the health bar on the Werewolf Boss all the way down to 35%. If that was something couldn’t be called fast, then they didn’t know what it was.

– “Just how the hell is that possible?”

– “What did these three do to achieve such a feat that needs to be done by an entire expert group from a Super Guild or other Powerhouse Guild!?” –

– “Who the hell are these guys?” –

Regardless how much they denied it, the sight in front of them was something they couldn’t deny.

All of them were just stupidly standing on their spots, watching the sight, until someone suddenly shouted. – “The boss is hitting its critical health!” –

Being awakened from their dazed state, the expert and elite groups immediately started rushing towards the direction where the trio was currently pinning the werewolf boss.

Given that they are from different guilds, adventurer teams and other organizations, the chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic due to that.
