Fate Online: Shadow-Chapter 408: Lonesome

Chapter 408: Lonesome

"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.

"Tsk, what are they so happy about? Isn't it because of me and that Zabuto guy?" Moniker mumbled with a scoff while looking at the bunch crowding around Solitary Tempest, and if it wasn't because the undead around them are already being taken care of by the army, then they would be receiving a huge scolding by now.

"Come on, it was a team play" Black Sparrow said with a laugh under his mask, which anyone would absolutely figure out that he's an old man just from his voice.

Hearing what the man said, the others could only scoff with Moniker saying, "Team play? More like we barely did anything. That old man's skill was so strong that it immediately took out the Death Knight in one go, just what the f*ck was that even?"

"Well, We all heard that he was the last of the Holy Knights" replied Storm Tempest while checking out the new weapon she had gotten as a reward for participating in the raid against the Death Knight Aradon.

Which looked like a scimitar or a saber, but any person knowledgeable with history or relics would recognize that it's a weapon based from a tribal weapon called Kampilan, which can be found on the island country of Pearl Nation.

"So what now?" Ripley asks while sitting on the dead ground.

Black Genesis pulled out a chair from his [Storage] and sat on it saying, "Let their excitement shimmer down a bit before we regroup with the army, and with the undead's retreat, there's only a couple of thousands of them left and we can't just let those experience points get away from our hands"

Chakram then remembered someone and couldn't help but mention him, "Now, that I think about it, I wonder how Michael is holding up by himself, as I heard from him that the place where he's currently at is f*ck up with so many monsters beyond his current level"

Viper laughed hearing that and added, "He's probably extremely jealous and feeling lonely by himself, especially after hearing the World Announcement about the raid, and probably contemplating right now if he should send a message due to his curiosity about how it even went down miraculously. I told him before that he should just leave trying to hatch the egg and focus on increasing his levels, but he just had to be stubborn about it. He sure is lonely"

But Ripley quickly doused him with cold water, "And he can still ask Amanda though"

"Ohh.." said Viper dryly.

Meanwhile,

"Damn, I'm really curious how it went down. I should ask Amanda about it"

Shadow didn't even have any second thoughts and quickly contacted his girlfriend. The thought of inquiring about it from the others didn't even cross his mind as he had long known what kind of people they are, especially Viper.
