[VRMMO] Dead One

[Few days.]

"Okay. Listen up everybody." – said Alamin as he spread a map on the table.

"Our target is this city Maw city."

"The main army of the empire is currently located here AND this city also function as their main frontline for the invasion."

"The plan is simple."

"Destroy them and take over the city."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait." – said Conquest.

"You want a frontal assault? Are you fucking crazy?"

The players instantly began whispering amongst themselves in confusion and doubt, instantly being hesitant upon hearing Alamin words.

"LISTEN!" – shouted Alamin.

"…"

"Listen."

"I know that plan sounds stupid and everything."

"But there is way we can do it."

"With the full support from the holy kingdom and some bribes here and there, I've set up the [Silence Man Totem] inside the city that completely cuts off any form of communication."

"We can deal with the scouts and make sure that even if they do have a communication devices, it would not reach the city, alarming them."

"Yea, but you are forgetting about something." – said Deven, vice guild master of the Red Lions.

"Demon lord ClownFrog."

"This guy is straight up moloch and any large scales battles would be just like putting fuel into fire for him."

"The angels that were supposed to "damage him" and "restrain him" were all slaughtered and turned into undeads."

"His presence alone is affecting troops on both sides big time."

"And if you think you will have something like "duel" with him, then you guessed wrong. He will never accept to it since he would realize the trick."

"Yes, I've realized that." – said Alamin.

"He needs to be forcefully separated from everybody."

"Tch. And how you suggest we do that?" – said Conquest with mocking tone.

"If you are thinking about my trap of using teleportation magic, the thing we did before, forget it."

"He is a giant fucking ass dragon that can fly around AND he also has teleportation magic of his own."

"So unless you put some sort of bird cage, he will escape and try to rescue the city."

"You don't need to worry about this." – said Alamin.

"We were given one of the holy grand artefacts to trap ClownFrog."

"?!"

"Wait, what!? They lend you a holy grand artefact!?" – asked shocked Devin.

"?"

"Eh? What is that? Some sort of overpowered item?" – asked Conquest with confused look.

"Yea… Pretty much, they are extremely powerful artefact type items." – said Devin.

"Normally whenever is "strong" enough, they will be granted a "holy artefact", a powerful item that also is a means of extending their dominance and authority, simple boost a means of boosting the faith."

"However, the "grand holy artefacts" are the top tier items that are directly linked to the gods."

"These kind of items goes by more common name."

"The divine artefact."

"These items have pieces of power of the said god, a direct one, not like blessing."

"…"

"Which is weird."

"Why they are lending you this artefact? Do they realize what would happened if you were to lose it?"

"Hell, forget the plan for moment!"

"I want to know WHY they lend you this thing!"

"And what the hell would happened to us all if you were to lose it? Huh?!"

"…"

"Don't worry about it." – said Alamin.

"Fuck you! I and everybody else have all rights to worry!" – replied Devin.

"Just LISTEN! Okay?" – said Alamin.

"All you have to do is to fallow the orders."

"Nothing bad will happened to us if we win."

"But if the holy kingdom gets destroyed? Then we all lose."

"…"

"Anyway, the divine artefact that I was lend is called [Battlefield Of Holy War]."

"Simply put, it is a cage type barrier that traps targets inside."

"They can go in, but they can't go out."

"The barrier has also two additional effects."

"Cutting off the outside world."

"AND it also gets boosted when the enemy trapped inside is facing off against somebody, meaning that he will have no choice but to eliminate us all if he wants to get out."

"The barrier itself is also very large, like not some few meters or something, but extremely large area."

"…"

"Okay. So, we have a bird cage that can trap him…. But the question is, how do we get him inside?" – suddenly spoke up the paladin player.

"If that guy isn't some bastard drunk on power, then I don't see a way where he would spot a large army of players and not find that suspicious."

"Welp, he won't be finding us." – said Alamin.

"Instead an army of golems."

"These golems are just plain dirt golems covered in copper and stuff with some paint to make them look pretty."

"In short a fake army."

"And that army will be deployed here."

"?"

"Near their supply line? This may end up taking the bait…. But how can we make sure that the demon lord himself takes it?" – asked Conquest

"That is simple." – said Alamin.

"We will make that army appear out of nowhere while also making it like it doesn't belong to anybody."

"???"

"Excuse me…. But that is dumb…. They will realize 100% that it would be our army and stuff." – said Devin.

"Benefactor." – said Alamin.

"The terrorist of the continent."

"And a bastard that can make a whole army appear out of nowhere."

"…"

"…"

"Hm…. He isn't wrong." – said Devin.

"If we make it look like it was the "benefactor" doing, then it may cause ClownFrog to go check the situation himself to make sure nothing major would happened."

"But even so, this is still very high gamble."

"I'm against this."

"Are we going to gamble it? If this fails, then we maybe screwed."

"Yeb…. But if this works out, we will hit the jackpot." – said Alamin.

[Back to the present.]

"…"

(Okay…. The plan worked…. But he isn't alone.) – thought Alamin.

(There is Oron and there is also large army of demon soldiers with them.)

(I guess ClownFrog wasn't taking any chances….)

"!"

ClownFrog from the distance began summoning his horde of monsters which could be easily seen from afar.

"!?"

"Holy shit…. How is he summoning so many?!" – asked the scared paladin player as the tsunami of monsters just kept growing in size.

"STICK TO THE PLAN AND WE WILL WIN!"

The army of the players began running towards ClownFrog as he continued summoning more and more monsters onto the battlefield…. And before long, that tsunami of monsters clashed with the players.

"FOCUS ON STRONGER MONSTERS AND DEMONS! THEY HAVE LIMITED- "

One of the paladin players tried holding off the wave of undeads with his great shield…. Only for a single crossbow bolt to pierce right through his shield, body and several other players, killing them all at once.

"?!"

"The he- "

Oron wasn't showing any mercy at all as he unleashed left and right fully enchanted crossbow bolts that pierced or blew up anybody that came contact with them, causing mass destruction.

(Don't hold back! Kill them all quickly!) – thought Oron who aimed at the backline priest and began firing, taking them down one by one.

(There is no way that their plan is to kill us.)

(At best, their only plan is to slow us down!)

(We lost contact with the city before the barrier was even up! So does that mean that their target-)

"!""

Oron suddenly leaped away as a from the puddle of shadows, Conquest leaped out and swung his axe around, cutting in half several elemental summons.

"!"

Conquest instantly raised up his guard as he saw Oron aiming at him and then firing, bombarding him with bolts of poison and curses.

"Tch."

"Monkey fucker!" – shouted Conquest as Devin jumped out from the shadows and unleashed a [Shadow Grasp], launching several tentacles made out of shadows towards Oron that had grabbed his body.

"!?"

But it was a sand clone, alarming Devin who used his detection skill to try and locate Oron, only to then get instantly shot in the side by him and send flying away from Conquest.

"…"

"You know, this is starting to get boring mate." – said Oron.

"You are keep picking up the fight with us and keep losing."

"Hell, even during the previous tournament you didn't even got to the finals and were eliminated like some nobody."

"FUCK OFF YOU BASTRARD!" – shouted Conquest.

"A backline coward like you don't have any rights to speak with me!" – shouted Conquest as he rushed in and swung his axe at the Oron, only to hit nothing but air and then get blasted in the back with acid magic.

"Says a sore loser that doesn't know when to give up." – said Oron before then firing magic attacks left and right at the at Conquest who did not run but instead took attacks head on as he ran towards Oron.

Conquest swung once again his axe, again and again, trying to hit Oron who was easily dodging the attacks.

Conquest tried unleashing several skills alongside his attacks, AOEs that devasted the entire area…. But have yet to hit Oron himself.

"!"

Oron suddenly deployed a barrier, blocking a wave of shadow projectiles that were fired by Devin, distracting Oron and giving Conquest a window of attack.

"[Executioner Axe]!"

Conquest swung down his axe, unleashing a devastating blast of force that completely destroyed the area...

"!?"

But again, he was nowhere near the axe.

"You are annoying mate." – said Oron as he manifested right behind Devin from the shadows.

"?!"

(Wait, isn't this-)

Before Devin could react, Oron pulled the trigger of his crossbow, blowing off the shadow mage entire head.

"Welp."

"Annoyance number 2 is gone."

"Now is your turn, annoyance number 1."

"Die quickly, if you may."
