[VRMMO] Dead One

[Guild Chat Open.]

["Hey. I noticed the quest counter got increased. Did you rescued some slaves already?"] – Shri.

["Yea. They were willing to join us after we told them the entire situation. However, they are not in good shape right now to fight. They need to rest up a bit before we can use them in battle."] – ClownFrog.

["We managed to take over the Purple Sand city with minimal efforts and without suffering any real loses. So, things are going well on our side."]

["By the way, how are the things on your end?"]

["Pretty good. The harpies had already send messengers to each tribe and the first ones to receive the messenge were the Sand Cobras."] – GreyHunt.

["We, Sand Cobras and the Dessert Vultures are planning to launch an attack on the Green Sand city, since by the look of things they are mobilizing a small army. They realized some time ago that the extermination squad had went missing and now are preparing to use an small army to take down the harpies."]

["We want to crush them before they have a chance to fully prepare, but there is a problem. We will definitely encounter players in the city and they will definitely spread the information around."]

["It doesn't matter. There is no use hiding any longer since the rebellion had already started. Our group will soon launch an attack on the Golden Sand city and we will definitely encounters players there as well."] – ClownFrog.

["So just go wild, but make sure to rescue the slaves. We need all the help we can get, oh and possible capture any merchants or nobles."]

["?"] – Shri.

["Why?"]

["Because these bastards used slaves to do all their dirty work, so after you rescue the slaves, make these fat fuckers the new slaves that will took the Umari people place."] – ClownFrog.

["Oh, I get it. You want to have profit, while also giving the Umari people revenge against them? This is nice idea, since it will motivate slaves somewhat."] – GreyHunt.

["Yeb. The dessert merchants and nobles used slaves for their work for too long, to the point the work needed slaves. If we release the slaves, the work will be left alone, so it's better to use the captured bastards and turn them into slaves to fill the holes, but with the twist that they will work for us."] – ClownFrog.

["Damn. That's evil bro."] – Rampage.

["Well, we are the bad guys. So, we should act "Evil"."] – Oron.

(So far so good. Everybody is in high spirit after crushing and taking over the Purple Sand city.) – though ClownFrog.

(Not only that, but we managed to secure more than enough supplies for the entire army and even weapons and equipment for the slaves.)

(After they recover enough, the Umari people will be able to join the fight, increasing the rebellion strength.)

(On top of all, we managed to secure good number of souls.)

(Anyway.)

"Hey, Am! How are the things going?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Good! My people all healed up and rested up! We are ready to departure at any moment!" – said Am Gigu.

"But, what about the Umari people?"

"Let them rest. Right now, they are in no shape to fight. If we were to bring them with us in their current state, then they would only get in the way. They need a proper rest before they can finally fight." – said ClownFrog.

"I get it. I will have my people take care of them. Oh. We also did the thing you asked us to do. We made the nobles and the merchants who used the slaves into the slaves themselves."

"Good. They will be made into example and the Umari people will have some revenge and motivation."

"Anyway, we should get ready. Soon people will realize that we took over the Purple Sand, so while the people still don't know and the word haven't spread around, we need to take over the Golden Sand while we still have advantage."

"Sounds good. HEY! YOU BASTARDS! Prepare to move out! We need to get to the Golden Sand city while the enemy don't know about us!" – shouted Am Gigu.

The sobeks began preparing for their departure and before long, the sobeks left the Purple Sand city, while leaving some of the sobeks to guards the city alongside the slaves.

"…"

"Say. What is the plan? Are you three going to enter the city again and make a huge mess before letting us in?" – asked Am Gigu while ridding a giant crocodile monster.

"No. The Golden Sand city has way more defense and guards. If we were trying to do that tactic on them again, we would end up raising alarm too early instead." – said ClownFrog.

"On top of that, in that city we will definitely encounter adventures like us, so be prepared, since sometimes they have some strong guys mixed in them."

"I see. So, the plan is to launch full scale attack from one side?" – asked Am.

"Yes. We need to quickly break through the gates, since they will definitely raise the alarms when they would see us coming from afar."

"Our second group, alongside the harpies and lamias will launch the attack on the Green Sand city and the problem with that place is that they know about harpies and are preparing to move out soon."

"These guys should be able to take over the city, but it will obviously end up leaking the information about our revolution."

"We will also have no time to deal with the stranglers that would be trying to escape, so either way, the people would find out about the revolution."

"However before the word spread, it will take some time and it will take some time for the country and city to prepare. So, we need to use that opportunity to deal as much as damage possible."

"But remember, our current goal is the Silver Sand city where the Melody Tail tribe members and good number of slaves are held captive."

"If everything goes well, we will have the Melody Tail finally join us and we would also get good number of Umil people join our side."

"However there is a bit of problem. Apparently good number of powerful adventures are currently in the Adernul kingdom. So, there is a chance that they would join the fight in near future. You need to be careful when you encounter them."

"Ha! Let them come! They will give us interesting challenge! RIGHT GUYS?!"

"YEA!" – replied the sobeks.

An army of sobeks accompanied by a huge group of undead was the obvious easy to spot.

I don't really know how long our "Surprise" will last.

We may ended up being greeted by the army of soldiers when we would finally get to the Silver Sand city, since there is no way, we would be able to stop all people from escaping the Golden Sand city. Somebody may go to the Silver Sand and inform them about the situation.

Well, even if we would encounter heavy resistance at the Silver Sand, we would have no choice but to try and take it over, since we need it to not only recruit the Melody Tail and slaves, but also get dessert gems.

The dessert gems are one of the necessary materials needed to the queen resurrection.

On top of that, if we were to take over the Silver Sand, we would get their mine and that would obviously give us a LOT of benefits.

And by taking away the Silver Sand city, we would deal a massive blow to the Adernul kingdom.

So WE NEED TO take over the Silver Sand city at all cost.

However, before we could take the Silver Sand, we need to take over the Golden Sand city.

Gold Sand city was a capital city of the Umil kingdom and not only that, its location is very important.

So, by taking that place over, we would not only boost our people morals, but we would also have access many great routes that we could use for our travels.

Taking the Gold Sand will also inflict a massive blow to the Adernul kingdom, since not only they would lose a very important city and the access to many routes, but they will also be humiliated, since the Gold Sand city was a symbol of their victory over Adernul kingdom.

If all things go as planned, we would deal 2 massive blows to the Adernul kingdom, before an all-out war begins.

Anyway, it took us sometime, but we finally managed to get near the Golden Sand city.

"…"

"I can hear the bells even from here. I guess they had already spotted us." – said Oron.

"Well…. An army of sobeks and an army of undeads are quite hard to not to spot." – said Blueberry.

"Can't be helped. Anyway, on your signal mate." – said ClownFrog.

"Well then."

"CHARGE!" – shouted Am Gigu.

Am Gigu and his sobek army began charging at the Gold Sand city, while ClownFrog group alongside his undeads began running alongside them.

"!"

"Boss! They have cannons on the walls and they seem to be preparing to fire them!" – said Blueberry while using spyglass.

"Tch. Am! They are planning to use cannons! We need to put up defenses!" - shouted ClownFrog.

"On it! Mages! Barrier!" – shouted Am Gigu.

The cannons began firing while ClownFrog and the sobek mages began summoning magic barriers to block against the cannon balls barrage.

Thankfully, no real damage was done to the army, thanks for the mages and ClownFrog putting barriers in time.

"Oron! Can you attack them from here?!" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yea! I think I can!" – said Oron while riding the sand running lizard.

"Then do it while they are busy with reloading their cannons!"

"Got it!"

Oron took out a new crossbow from his inventory that was recently made by the Blueberry, that had a scope attached to it.

"…"

Oron aimed carefully with his crossbow before then firing.

The crossbow bolt flew at high speed and moments later, it hit one of the guards standing on top of the wall right in the face and instantly killing the armored guard.

"…"

[Some time before the sobeks army launched the attack at the Purple Sand city.]

"Say, Blueberry. Can you make me a new weapon?" – asked Oron.

"Hm? But didn't I made you a new crossbow recently?" – replied Blueberry.

"Yea. But I want something different."

"I want a crossbow with an ability to fire a bolt at very long distances and if possible, I would like it to have a scope."

"?"

"Something like a sniper crossbow?"

"Yes. I noticed something in our line up." – said Oron.

"We have close range, mid-range and long range fighters and that is good."

"However…. I was thinking about becoming a very long range fighter? Like a sniper."

"My crossbow has a good damage output and I have magic to support myself."

"However, now I have a solid build for myself, a build that I can use to my own fully advantage."

"But to complete it, I need a crossbow that can fire a long distance shots. So please Blueberry, I will get you all the materials necessary, but please make me a crossbow with a very long range."

You are probably wondering why Oron wanted to become a sniper?

Well, allow me to explain.

Oron currently poses these classes.

[Common Classes]

[Poison Mage]

[Fire Mage]

[Crossbow User]

[Bully]

[Rare Classes]

[Cursed Poison User]

[Magic Crossbow User]

[Expert Crossbow User]

[Thug]

[Epic Classes]

[Fire Crossbow User]

[Poison Crossbow User]

Those are all the classes that Oron possess.

Now, why we are talking about this now?

Well, because all of these classes created a powerful COMBO.

In the center of this combo, is a common class called [Bully] and [Thug]

[Bully] isn't a very strong class. It's one of these classes that level up fast but doesn't provide a lot of benefits.

However, Oron learned this class for 2 reasons.

The first reason is [Bully] class skill that provides the user will a bonus to debuffs and negative effects duration. Its good for things like poison, cursed and burning status.

However, the important skill that Oron wanted to get from [Bully] is a skill called [Unfair Fight]

[Unfair Fight] is a passive skill that increase the damage you do to the target by 5% at skill level 10, for each negative effect they are under effect. So, things like poison or debuff will both trigger the [Unfair Fight].

However, the [Unfair Fight] only works against the opponent "You" had put negative effect on. So, if the ally puts things like curse on the enemy, it won't trigger.

So, here is the question: Why Oron wanted this skill at all cost?

Well, here is the explanation.

Oron [Fire Crossbow User] possess skill called [Crossbow Fire Enchantment] that adds a fire attribute to his basic attacks that will do bonus fire damage to the targets. Its an auto active skill that will use mana if its active.

Not only that skill will provide the bonus damage, but it will also apply burning status to the enemy that will deal damage over time.

[Poison Crossbow User] also posses similar skill called [Crossbow Poison Enchantment] that does the same thing, but instead deals poison damage and adds poison status instead. Both of these skills can be used together.

There are also skills called the [Burning Crossbow Bolt] that gives the enemy another burning statues and [Poisoned Crossbow Bolt] that gives enemy poisoned status. Both of these skills can also be used together.

Just so you know, the poison and burning status from these skills and skills mentioned before works separately, so both of these skills can give the enemy poison and burning statues at the same time, multiple times.

Now, here comes something interesting.

Oron class book skill [Cursed Poison User] posses skill called [The One Who Uses Poison And Curse].

This skill is interesting.

Its auto active skill that causes Oron poison and cursed skills to use more mana, but in return if the enemy is hit by the Oron poison, the enemy will end up also being affected by curse and other way around if Oron applies curse instead.

So here is a thing.

2 burning statues + 2 poisoned statues + 2 cursed statues = 30% damage increase that increase all damage done by the Oron as well as his damage over time skills and effects.

Not only that but Oron is using a crossbow, a weapon with high attack stat. So how high attack Oron is from having 4 enchantments skills?

But that is not all.

Oron didn't know, but after he got a new class [Thug] from maxing out the [Bully] class, he got 2 new interesting things.

The first thing is a new class skill that also extends the negatives statues effects duration and the new skill called [Nasty Tactic].

It's a passive ability that activates whenever Oron applies a negative statues to the enemy.

Simply put, the enemy will receive X% movement speed reduction (5% at skill level 10) and this skill cannot stack with it self or with other people [Nasty Hit] effects.

So, that means that Oron can now put 5 negative effects at the same time by hitting the enemy once, meaning the damage output done by Oron got increased again.

In conclusion, Oron damage output had skyrocket to the point where nobody can even dare to look down on him.

Be it either the crossbow bolt or the damage over time, Oron attacks can now hit like a freaking truck.
