Chapter 611 - 612 – Continent of chaos – Part 32.
"!"
"[Ghost Storm]!" – ClownFrog unleashed a storm of ghost around himself, forming a barrier and attack that launched itself against Alamin.
"[Nephalem Art: Blade]!" – but instead of backing off like usual, Alamin instead decided to counter attack by using his great sword, unleashing a slash of both demonic and holy power that destroyed the wave of ghost.
"!"
But as soon as he destroyed one attack, another one came towards as ClownFrog unleashed [Fire Outburst], unleashing a wave of fire in all directions that knocked away the Alamin, but once again he did not gave up as he tried to rush in, not allowing a moment of rest for ClownFrog, but this time he was ready as he fired off [Light Burst], unleashing a sphere of blinding light that exploded and blinded Alamin for moment, before then being forced to quickly guard himself as he saw a situate of the scythe coming his way.
"!"
Alamin managed to block the attack, but it wasn't just simple scythe attack as it was empowered by the [Death Knight] skill, [Dread Blade], giving enough power to the scythe to push back Alamin.
"…"
"You son of a bitch." – said ClownFrog.
"You were pretending to be struggling."
"Hey, nobody said that I was going all out yet." – replied Alamin before then unleashing [Nephalem Art: Light], unleashing a beam of demonic and holy energy combined that was confronted by the ClownFrog [Red Beam], causing two attacks to collide and self-destruction.
"And aren't you a weird one though?" – asked ClownFrog.
"I mean, you are using [Nephalem Paladin], aren't you? And all sort of demonic skills."
"Honestly by now that whole holy kingdom should be chasing around after you and stuff."
"So why are they not hunting you, huh? Mister "heretic"?" – asked ClownFrog while summoning a horde of undeads that rushed instantly towards Alamin.
"I maybe fucked up in my head and stuff, but these guys are pretty much brain dead!" – said ClownFrog as Alamin started cutting down undeads.
"They don't think or anything! All they care about is the "heaven this" and "heaven that". You know they betray you, right!?"
"So what?! I should bow my head and join your side!?" - shouted Alamin as he enchanted his two blades with holy power before then cutting several undeads all at once…. Only to be met with even more undeads.
"Nah! I'm not that desperate to make you join me!" – replied ClownFrog before starting to bombard the area with [Desert Eater], unleashing blades of sand that flew towards Alamin and forcing him to deploy barriers left and right to block the attacks.
"But I wonder if you are just stupid!"
"These idiots will destroy this continent and they will 100% betray you since you are using the "unholy power" and stuff."
"This includes all of you bastards! All of you that use necromancy or anything demonic will be hunted down by them!" – shouted ClownFrog on top of his lungs, making sure that everybody could hear him.
"So! Here is a fucking question!"
"Why are you working for the bastards that you knew for certain will betray you?!"
"Or by any chance…. The one that is planning to betray them is you?"
"Considering how openly you are using the demonic powers, it kind of gives me the answer."
"But what about the neutral players? Those who use none of the powers from hell or heaven? Or what about those who are priest and paladins of heavens? Do they know about your betrayal?"
"?"
"Betray? What is he talking about?" – asked a paladin player.
"!"
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM YOU IDIOTS!" – shouted the tank player and member of the Silver Tiger guild Baron.
"Why?!" – shouted ClownFrog on top of his lungs when the female tank tried saying something.
"I'M JUST ASKING A SIMPLE QUSTION!"
"And honestly, I only needed to say this thing."
"Since because this guy ain't an idiot and must had realized the truth of the situation."
"…"
The sudden speech made by the ClownFrog had completely caught players off guard.
"Everybody in here, that uses anything that is remotely associated with demonic powers, demons or necromancy, hell! Even spirits! All of them will be hunted down by the holy kingdom!"
"You are working for the fanatics and nobody fucking even thought to question what would happened after the bloody war if you were to win?! What?! Did you thought they would just say "you are okay since you helped me"? Fuck no! Do you know how many of their own people they killed for only suspecting?!"
"I really want you all to stop for moment and think! Because unless every single one of you are bloody blind idiots that can put pieces together and see blunt truth…. Then I really don't see any hope for you."
"…"
Players were confused.
Some players thought that ClownFrog was just trying to manipulate them…. But the problem was that they had all evidence. They know what kind of beings the holy kingdom was.
Zelotes.
This is the word that can perfectly describe them.
The players that obviously got most worried and confused were monster player, the players that either use necromancy or demonic powers, or people that uses spirits.
"So- "
"!"
Alamin tried to launch a sneak attack on ClownFrog by unleashing a barrage of sphere created by [Nephalem Art: Judgment] skill, only for them to be met by ClownFrog barrier.
"So, why are you hiding it?!"- asked ClownFrog.
"You either betray them or they betray you! This is the simplest situation!"
"It wouldn't make sense if you were dumb, but unfortunately you are smart, which does put you in awkward position."
"So. Do you mind telling everybody here your plan? Or did you planned on betraying every single player here?!"
"…"
(Dammit! He got me!) – thought panicking Alamin.
(Did he deducted on the spot that I was planning on betraying the holy kingdom?)
(This isn't really good….)
(If I say nothing, people will think that I will really betray them.)
(If I try to deny it, they may not trust me.)
(What do I do?)
(I can't just say my plans out loud.)
(Since it would definitely result in the holy kingdom declaring war on me…. And I need players trust as well.)
(Somebody may snitch on for money….. No, they will do it anyway. There are always greedy bastard like these that won't see a bigger picture…. Oh fuck, Conquest…. Yeb, he will definitely report me.)
(…)
"…"
"YEA! I WAS PLANNING ON BETRAYING THE HOLY KINGDOM! SO WHAT?!" – shouted Alamin, shocking the players.
"!?"
"What the fuck are you doing?!" – shouted Baron.
"…"
"Common. I won't stop you…. Well, unless you plan on stalling." – said ClownFrog as he raised his hand, causing all of his monsters to stop in their tracks.
"…"
(Fuck you!) – thought completely pissed off Alamin.
(If I don't expose myself right and now, I would be straight up ruined and my plans would never recover!)
(The only way to recover anything now is to expose myself here and now…. This is shitty!)
"I knew that the holy kingdom are screwed up bastard and that there would be no future with them!"
"So once they dealt with your empire, I was planning on destroying their kingdom from within, making that kingdom also collapse!"
"With you and the holy kingdom gone, the lands would be completely empty, meaning that the person that would first take control of things would be the first one to create a new kingdom from the remains!"
"A rebellion that would destroy this continent and gives everybody a start line!"
"…"
"Hm…. Good idea honestly…. Sometimes you need to destroy to create." – said ClownFrog.
"But what the fuck are you hiding mate? You are not telling a full story here."
"Even idiot cannot make a kingdom without people or workers."
"So how would you even secure those?"
"You have somebody backing you up."
"…"
Alamin looked around, noticing the gazes of the countless players, just staring at him with suspicion.
"Common." – said ClownFrog.
"Speak the fuck up."
"It is not like you are still deceiving people here, are you?"
"I'M NOT!" – shouted Alamin.
"Do you really think I need somebody support to create a kingdom!?"
"HELL! YOU CREATED YOUR OWN KINGDOM WITH JUST YOUR GUILD!"
"SO WHY CAN'T OTHER PLAYERS?!"
"DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS MANIPULATION WILL WORK!?"
"Do you really think that you and your guild are the only people with potential to be rulers of their own nation?"
"Or are you- "
"Nope. You are right." – said ClownFrog, cutting Alamin mid-sentence."
"There are people out there that can make their own kingdoms, this obviously means players as well."
"This is just a blunt truth."
"But, there is one problem with you statement."
"Who said it was just my guild?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Do you think that only a group of 30 people can create an army? Can construct streets, villages and cities?"
"You are either lying or you are foolish idiot."
"I needed to earn the title of the "king" in order to establish my kingdom."
"And tell me this, friend."
"Do you really think that the people would crown and bestow a title of a "king" to a traitor that backstabbed them?"
"Do you think they would fallow you?"
"Trust you?"
"Obey you?"
"Do you really FUCKING think that I just earned the title of a king because I was strong!?"
"If that was the fucking case, then my kingdom would had fallen long time ago before I went to the war with Oin empire."
"This is maybe manipulation."
"This is maybe scheme."
"All my doing to just have you idiots try and murder each other for me without me even having to lift a finger."
"But here is problem there mate."
"As I've said before, you are smart."
"And there is no way you wouldn't realize the consequences of your actions."
"The one scheming and lying isn't me here."
"It is you."
"This is the truth of the situation."
"Lying and hiding can be used as weapons that can collapses even the mightiest of the kingdoms."
"But one of deadliest weapons other is often just simple truth."
"That is the fucking lesson I had learned as both a king and emperor."
"A advice from me, to you all fuckers gathered here."
"So tell me, are you going to keep lying?"
"Or are you just going to fess up?"
"Since I think I've already wasted more than enough time for you to explain yourself."
"Stop fucking lying or you will just sign you own death sentence."
"Punk."
