[VRMMO] Dead One

"…"

"Okay… Miss Hera… What the fuck is going on?!" – said Ampi.

"What the hell was that noises and other stuff!? Was that ClownFrog doing?!"

"…"

"Em… Maybe?" – said Hera.

"…"

"Anyway, was that the last people that were held captive here?"

"Yes. We made sure that they were the last one captive." – said kobold Tail.

"So, what now, do we wait for ClownFrog or something?"

"Hm… Well, something big was happening just now, so maybe- "– tried to said something Ampi.

"I'm here." – said ClownFrog from behind.

"?!"

"Jezus!" – said scared Ampi.

"Don't just appeared out of thin air like that!"

"Wait. How did you found us?"

"…Em… You left behind traces of the killed guards and monsters… So, it wasn't really any hard to pinpoint your location by just walking over corpse." – said ClownFrog.

"Oh…. Well, that does kind of make sense." – said Tail.

"Anyway, what the hell were those noise and other stuff we heard? Was that your doing?"

"Oh… Yea… I kind of run into something "Big". But I managed to kill it without suffering any serious injuries or anything like that, so don't worry." – said ClownFrog.

"However, by the look of things this place isn't just a prison. I found myself in the underground storage room containing food and there was even path stretching forwards through it."

"This place isn't only a prison."

"…"

"Anyway, how about you? Did you rescued everybody?"

"Yea. These all the captives that were captured by the fanatics." – said Ampi.

"Good."

"…"

"Okay. I will be honest with you all, the guards in charge of the prison were weaklings, but by the look of things the fanatics are now sending stronger guys." – said ClownFrog.

"Honestly, those fanatics will definitely not let these guys go and I cannot leave this place."

"So, I'm going you to ask something."

"I want one of you to temporarily join our guild."

"?!"

"Wait, what?! What- "

"I see. You want to call the others members of your guild." – said Tail, not letting Ampi speak.

"The new member of your guild will go out and contact the others members of your guild to get here."

"Precisely."

"With how things stands, if I leave this place, then the fanatics will chase after you and put the hostages in dangers."

"If that place was only prison, then going back with you would be the wisest option, but I guess not."

"I need the rest of the guild members to come here and if you like, you can also call your own guild members to join in."

"Hera. Go with them and explain situation to the O'a who is keeping watch above the ground."

"After words, return back to me but leave the death desert undeads to help out O'a since he will need them for the hostage's safety."

"…You are not going to wait for them?" – asked Ampi.

"Nope. More like I can't."

"I need to wreck this place as much as possible."

"I cannot give those fuckers moment to breath."

"As soon as you meet up with my and your guilds members, send some of you to help out while having some of you being on the watch the village."

"If you go that way, the exit should be there somewhere."

"…"

"Understood."

"So, who wants to temporarily join their guild?" – asked Tail.

"Oh! Me!" – said Ampi.

"No, you don't."

"Why not?!"

"Because you are guild mastery you dumbass!" – said Tail.

"I cannot join in as well since I'm vice guild master."

"…Em… Then, can I?"

[Catfolk – Gender: Female – Apopo]

"Well, this is only a temporarily joining in, so it's kind of doesn't matter who you pick." – said ClownFrog.

"Okay. Then Apopo, you are up." – said Tail.

[Player Apopo has left the [Litle Bastards] guild.]

[Player Apopo has joined the [Purple Hyena] guild.]

"Tell them that it's no use hiding any more and that they should prioritize getting here as fast as possible."

"Well then, good luck and don't die." – said ClownFrog.

Ampi together with her guild and ClownFrog undeads and Hera began escorting the hostages back to surface.

"Well then, I guess its time for me to go as well." – said ClownFrog.

(There is no use hiding or going undercover, since those bastards' raised alarms. Its better to call everybody here.)

(Not only that, this place isn't dungeon.)

(An underground prison, storage and even long path.)

(Considering that giant prison and even that big storage as well that passage, this isn't just some underground facility or something.)

(This place must be an entire base.)

(No wonder that the demon lord couldn't find out the fanatics or how they were managing to pop up from random places that easily.)

(They probably have multiple hidden passages in different parts of kingdom, allowing them to travel freely.)

(It explains so many things!)

(However, what was the deal with the prisoners?)

(Do the fanatics need them for something?)

(I honestly wanted to ask them few questions, but they were in bad shape and they needed to leave this place ASAP if I wanted them to survive.)

(Anyway, considering the high possibility that this is indeed the fanatics main base means that I may find the one leading them in here or something.)

(And there is a high chance that the fanatics have multiple exists.)

(So for now I need to have them focus entirely on me IF I want to buy time for the rest of the guild members to get here.)

"Well then. Kill everything you see." – said the ClownFrog while leading the army of the undeads through the prison.

[Meanwhile some time later on the surface.]

"…"

"Man… It's so boring…" – said O'a.

(I mean, I was put in charge of defending this place and keeping an eye on these fuckers, but this is so boring.)

(Nothing happened!)

(I want some action or something.)

"!"

O'a quickly got up from the ground and took out his swords while looking towards the tavern.

Few moments later, a huge group of people began walking out of the tavern.

"Eh? Wait, those aren't fanatics?" – said O'a.

"Hey! Who are you people?" – asked O'a while surrounding the hostages.

"Stand down O'a."

"?"

Near O'a, Hera made her appearance by flying next to him.

"Hera? What is going on?"

"It's a long story." – said Hera.

"…"

"Let me guess. I have to keep them safe?" – asked O'a with annoyed voice.

"Well, yes."

"For fuck's sake."

"Anyway, are these people with you as well?" – asked O'a while pointing his sword to the Ampi and her friends.

"Yea. They are currently working for the boss."

"Anyway, boss told me to give you those desert undeads to support you and he told me that the enemies may start making some moves, so you may soon have some action."

"Huh… Good." – said O'a.

"No "Good". Because you need to make sure that these people are safe and ALIVE! Got it?" – said Hera.

"Tch. Kill joy."

"What the fuck do you mean kill joy?!" – said annoyed Hera.

"…"

"Em… Apopo. Can you now contact the members of the Purple Hyena guild?" – asked Tail.

"!"

"Yes, I can! I can use guild chat and friend chat again."

"Good. Then contact them right now and explain the situation to them. I will also contact our guild member." – said Tail.

[You have entered the guild chat.]

["Hello? Can you guys hear me?"] – Apopo.

["?"]

["Hey. Who are you?"] – asked Shri.

["I'm Apopo and I'm the member of the Litle Bastards guilds."]

["Your boss, ClownFrog had temporarily add me as the guild member because he needed for me to relay an order to you all."]

["Wait, why he add you instead of speaking himself?"] – Oron.

["Because he can't. He is inside some sort of base that cuts off a communication to the outside world. Both the friend chat, video call, guild chat doesn't work."]

["He said he cannot leave because of the annoying circumstances and made me temporarily join the guild to tell that he needs you all to his location."]

["Connection lost? Wait! What if GreyHunt has this problem?"] – Blueberry.

["?"]

["is something wrong?'] – Apopo.

["Yea. We lost contact with one of our guild members called GreyHunt. We were trying to contact him for some time now, but he is not replying at all."] – Oron.

["Did by any chance he also discovered the fanatics base? It would explain why he wasn't responding to us."]

["Hm… There is high chance that this is the case."] – Swim.

["So, ClownFrog want us to get to him right now?"] – Wretch.

["Yes. He said that hiding won't work any more and he needs you to get here as fast as possible."] – Apopo.

["…. Okay. We got it. We will get to your location as fast as possible."] – Oron.

["It will take us sometime, so stay safe."]

["Don't worry. ClownFrog gave us some of his undeads as well as he lend us his talking skeleton O'a. I think we can hold the enemy if they were to attack us."] – Apopo.

["Okay. Thanks for the info. Stay safe."] – Shri.

["Wait!"]

["?"]

["There are two important thing I need to mention."]

["Our entire guild, the Litle Bastards will join in, so please be careful not to attack them."]

["And one more thing."]

["The fanatics have players on their side. So please be careful."]

["?"]

["Players?"]
