[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Capital city of the Oin empire.]

"Well then." – said the young man with prostatic hand.

"I heard about that tournament of yours between the adventures."

"And I had heard an interesting rumors about them… Would you like explaining everything to me?"

[The second prince of the Oin empire - Erun Oin]

"…"

"How much you have heard?" – asked bit stressed up Hawk.

"Oh well, nothing much… Expect for the fact that the winner of the tournament was ClownFrog, the terrorist that threatens the peace of the Oin empire and is now called one of the strongest adventures in the world if not the "Strongest"."

"I want the full explanation, NOW!"

"!"

"Y-yes sir!"

Hawk began explaining everything that had occurred during the finals of the tournament, including the fact of his defeat at the hands of the Paintjob as well as Conquest defeat by the hands of GreyHunt.

He also explained the entire fight between the ClownFrog and Dance as well as the results of the fight that ended up with ClownFrog being named the winner.

"Hm…. And you are saying she didn't went all out on you, but she still beat you? And the moment she started taking you somewhat seriously, the fight ended one sidedly?" – asked Erun Oin.

"Y-yes…. I'm ashamed to say it, but that is what had happened." – said Hawk.

(I don't want to talk about this, but knowing him, he would learn the entire story sooner or later.) – though Hawk.

(Not only that, he was aware about the tournament as well as other things and was quiet curios about it all.)

(Its better to be honest and tell everything to him right now!)

"…."

"I see." – said the second prince.

(Hawk isn't weakling.) – though Erun Oin.

(I know he isn't, since I saw him fight and confirmed his abilities.)

(But for that so called Paintjob to overwhelm him that much? Just what kind of monster is she?)

"…."

"Em…. Even though I know the Paintjob had defeated me and everything and I'm quite annoyed about it, she did managed to force ClownFrog to reveal some of his hands." – spoke up Hawk.

"However this isn't all."

"?" – Prince looked curiously at the Hawk.

"Somehow, she was able to undercover ClownFrog secret, a secret regarding his current bizarre appearance."

"She manage to find out what ClownFrog is."

"He is as you speculated the member of the dragonewt race, but its not all. He is a lich."

"?!"

"Wait, a lich? Are you sure about this?!" – asked the prince while suddenly getting up from his chair.

"Y-yes!"

"According to the Paintjob information, the dragon side of the ClownFrog and his lich side had clashed in each other, before fusing and causing mutation to occur on his body."

"She somehow knew all this, even surprising ClownFrog himself completely."

"Nobody knows how she knew all that, but the information she had given alongside the ClownFrog reaction to all this had confirmed the Paintjob story, meaning that the ClownFrog is really a lich dragonewt!"

"…..."

"Lich and dragonewt combined as one being?" – said second prince while holding his face.

(Is that even possible?) – though confused prince.

(I know that the turning dragon may cause them to turn into a special race of dragons known as "Undead Dragon", but is it even possible to turn the member of the dragonic race not into "Undead Dragon", but as a "Lich"?)

(Was that even possible in the first place? I had never heard about anything like that in the past.)

(There are dragons who can control dead as well as necrotic element, but dragonic lich?)

(According to the information, ClownFrog was originally unliving lizardman belong to the dark green scale tribe.)

(Does his original race somewhat influenced it all and made it possible?)

(Or by any chance it was the doing of the demon lord…. According to the information from the adventures and spies, that kingdom had several liches working for that kingdom and had even ability to turn people into liches.)

(It could be either options…. Or it could be also something we don't see.)

"…"

"Are the information absolutely, correct?"

"Yes my prince."

"…."

"Tch."

"This will be problematic…. And you are saying that guy had also defeated that Paintjob?"

"Yes… When they got serios, they were throwing an extremely powerful attacks and even one of those attacks that could have caused catastrophic damage if unleashed in the city managed to land and perfectly hit ClownFrog without him even being able to defend himself…. He was still alive."

"He was able to take on the full force of her most powerful attack without even being able to dodge or block, but was still standing on his two feets."

"Not only that, but that guy was able to unleashed extremely powerful attack by himself alone."

"I…. Shit. I don't know how to say it other way around my prince…. But I think we underestimated him…. And not only him but his entire guild."

"Blueberry, Oron, Shri, Rampage, vice guild master GreyHunt and the guild master of the Purple Hyena guild, ClownFrog."

"We know that all of them were big threat, but now we know that we were wrong."

"And they are way more dangerous than we had though, eh?" – said the second prince, finishing Hawk sentence for him.

"Fuck."

"…."

"My other siblings will find about this sooner or later as well, if not had found about this already."

"However, why have they not made any movements yet?" – said Erun Oin while pointing with his finger at the Hawk.

"Why do you think that? Hawk?"

"…."

"Maybe…. Maybe they are preparing for something?" – replied Hawk.

"True. You are absolutely correct."

"However, if they are preparing indeed, then why cause an act of terrorism and declaring the war?"

"My guess is that they want us panic and spread fear around while also having us arm ourselves."

"?"

"Wait, arm ourselves? Why would they- "

"Money."

"Its about the money. They want us to tire us mentally, but also aiming for us to spend money for no reason when they are not attacking."

"However, there is the fact that they are not attacking and are staying hidden…. These guys are smart… And I don't like this. They know that 6 of them alone are not enough to take down the entire empire."

"They are planning something big, but will be not doing anything extremely big that could result them in possible exposing their plans."

"We don't know how much time we have, but one thing is for sure, they will plan something very big to the point they will be consider a big threat to the empire."

"They got here on their own, so there is no way they had some preparation made here beforehand."

"We have time and probably still a lot of time…."

"…"

"This is an order."

"The entire Scarlet Gryphon guild will be focusing on getting stronger."

[Quest have been generated.]

[Erun Oin trust.]

[The second prince of the Erun Oin had realized the grave danger the Purple Hyena guild poses and order your forces to grow stronger.]

[Reach the described level with X amount of people that are part of Scarlet Gryphon guild.]

"!"

(Quest!)

"And not only that, I have this for you."

[Erun Oin trial.]

[With the threat of the Purple Hyena guild in the horizon, the second prince wants to hand you over the [Tale Of The Feather Dragon – Part 3] much earlier than expected.]

[However unfortunately, you need to prove yourself first by defeating dangerous monsters heads in order to prove yourself ready.]

"?!"

(Wait what?!)

(He got to be fuking kidding me! I though it would take me at least half of a year to get part 3!)

(Shit! There is no way I cannot refuse this quest now!)

"I won't fail you, my prince!" – said Hawk while bowing his head.

(Just you wait, ClownFrog and Paintjob.)

(Soon or later, I will both of you myself!)

While guild master of the Scarlet Gryphons Hawk as well as the second prince Erun Oin were planning things behind the scenes, another action was taking place in the headquarter of the Red Lions.

"MOTHEFUCKER! PIECE OF SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY KNOW?! HUH?!"

The guild master of the Red Lions, Conquest, was currently going on the rampage, destroying the training dummy monsters that were fighting him.

"Jeez. The master is taking it hard, huh?" – said the member of the Red Lion guild while watching the fight from the spectator seat that were above the training area.

"It really have gotten into him, huh?" – said the second member.

"Well, wouldn't you two be?" – asked the vice guild master of the Red Lions, Deven, who had just walked towards the two players.

"?!"

"V-vice guild master?!" – said panicking member.

"At ease you two."

*Sigh*

"Honestly speaking, Conquest is extremely powerful and he could have even beaten Hawk as well as other players that could have gotten to the finals…. But GreyHunt… That bastard was way stronger that anybody could have imagined."

(And not only that, but that fucker manipulated me! Feeding me fake informations about him being weakling that had struggled against a supporter like myself!)

"Well, its not like our guild became less famous or something like that, right?" – said the woman who was laying on the chairs.

"…."

"Lilium." – said Deven while turning towards the girl.

"Yo." – said the girl while raising one of her hands.

"Anyway. Like I said before, our guild had not became less famous or anything like that."

"If anything, we had gained even more popularity and recognition for just being able to get to the finals."

"We may not have gotten first, second, third or even fourth place, but we did our best and we got nice results."

"So don't be so down and don't be like that idiot down there trying to relieve your stress when in reality we had also won."

"…."

"Please stop calling our guild master an idiot." – said Deven.

"Nah. He is and I will keep calling him that." – said the girl while getting up.

"But I got to say this."

"That ClownFrog? Yea, he is a real monster."

"Forget the whole thing about being a dragonewt and lich combination, just look at this power and the power he had before."

"This guy is dangerous."

"Honestly I thought I would be able to give him at least some trouble, but I wasn't expecting him to take on my attack on purpose back then and just shrug it off after the direct hit."

"We are fuking messing with the real fuking demon lord, no matter how we look at this."

"Then we cannot waste any second!" – shouted Conquest from below while being surrounded by the destroyed training monster dummies.

"We need to get stronger and crush those bastard!"

"Not only that, but after those bastard have been dealt with, we will have to deal with other heirs factions if we want to win that faction war!"

"Get fuking stronger you all and be ready."

"The only ones who will crush them all, the Purple Hyena and the Scarlet Gryphons are only us! The Red Lions!"

(And GreyHunt you bastard! I will make sure that you will pay for that humiliation!)
