Chapter 466 - 465 – Diamond’s story – Ruby King.
<<Temple of the Ruby King.>>
<<A king of rubies.>>
<<A king which originally ruled these 3 territories.>>
<<According to the information that we had obtained from a broker, the ruby king was original owner of this place and that the beast which original inhabited these lands was nothing more than guardian of a king.>>
<<This Ruby King is apparently what some people call a elder god.>>
<<A god which originally ruled this world until they went exciting in order to banish the invading gods.>>
<<The broker who we had contact with, told us that they had discovered a straight up ultra-high difficulty dungeon, within the desert zone.>>
<<The Temple Of The Ruby King.>>
<<That guy, he call himself Hynea.>>
<<Nobody really knows who they are in the game, what in game race or gender they are, but one thing that is known about them is that their information is always top notch and valuable.>>
<<And that is always true.>>
<<However, the annoying part about this bastard is their greed.>>
<<They sell often sell information to more than one person about something "special".>>
"FUCK OFF PLAYBOY! THIS PLACE IS FREAKING MINE!" – shouted the flying lich player who unleashed a barrage of cursed souls.
[Go – Ranker – Guild Master Of The Devil Key Guild]
"[Ancient Curse: Hatred]!" – the lich unleashed a massive raging flame soul that blown up and scorched the entire area with molding flame…. But right in the next moment, a space open up behind the lich.
"[Gravity Magic: Gravity Cannon]." – the lich tried putting up a barrier, but before he could, Diamond who was right behind him fired off a space distorting blast hit lich right his torso, straight up smashing and erasing it.
"…"
"Fuck…. You…." – said the lich as his bones fell down.
[Player Go has been eliminated.]
"…"
"How many losses?" – asked Diamond as he flew down to the worn-out battlefield.
"Well… They may had been rankers on the weaker end… But they still took out few of our guys." – said Barge.
"We have quiet lot of people who also got injured and need some proper healing before continuing."
"…"
"Well, we can't stop." – said Diamond.
"Heal them as we move. You are allowed to use potions if the heals are not keeping up."
"So far, we had fought four weak ranker guilds, but there is a chance that we may run into high guild rankers or master guild rankers here."
"Sheesh… He really wants to make enemies out of everybody, doesn't he?" – said Barge as the Blue Diamond guild continued walking forward.
"They are just greedy." – replied Diamond.
"They don't care how many enemies they make as long as they get more than enough money."
"…"
"And annoying fucking fact is that they information is too accurate to be freaking ignored."
"As much as it annoying me to admit it, they never provided even once a false information."
"Which is to show how good they are at their job at gathering intel."
"But, considering what he didn't told us would suggest that their information was lacking."
"You mean the whole Arthur business and him also using elder god divinity?" – asked Barge.
"Yeah… " – said Diamond.
"His whole 'sun' skills are the main reason he is such powerful master ranker."
"A divinity from elder god."
"Heck, even people who received direct divinity from the gods are not guarantee to become rankers or even high rankers."
"But that bastard did."
"If that bastard knew that, then he would definitely mention this most important detail."
"But not many people know about Arthur even having divinity of a elder god." – said Barge.
"Well… Some of the gods do know… The hostiles ones." – said Diamond.
"There is good chance that churches may know what sort of power Arthur possess."
"And before this word fully spreads, we need to get this dungeon."
"If people find out how powerful the elder god's divinity is compare to the invader gods' divinity, then they would swarm this place." – said Diamond as he and his guild were slowly approaching a massive open space.
"…"
"?"
"Wait, this is it?" – asked Barge.
"There is nothing freaking here! Only freaking sand!"
"Are you sure we weren't scammed?!"
"…"
"According to the information, the sun needs to be directly over us." – said Diamond as he looked at the blazing sun.
"…It is still not here… Probably in another hour or some it will be direct above us."
"After that, there will be clues and puzzles we need to quickly solve in short time window."
"…Okay… So, we need to wait until specific times comes… I get it." – said Barge.
"Question."
"We are fucking sitting right in the middle of nowhere with no protection whatsoever."
"Literally, anybody can see us here!"
"And that is why we will make sure that nobody is here." – said Diamond.
"As soon as –"
[ [Watchers Sense] is warning you!]
"!"
"[Authority Gate]!" - Diamond suddenly distorted space in a form of wall as a massive demonic arrow came by and clashed against distorted space, destroying it alongside the attack.
"!?"
(My barrier broke!?) – thought alarmed Diamond.
"ATTACK! ENEMY ATTACK!" – Barge, instantly putting everybody on high alert.
"[Pistola Art: Wild Shoot Out]!" – Barge instantly began firing both of her guns like madman in the direction where the demonic arrow came from, alongside other guild members who also began firing off their long-range attacks.
"…"
"[GRAVITY MAGIC: GRAVITY WALL]!" – Diamond suddenly deployed yet another barrier, this time extremely close to the Barge, who almost got hit by demonic arrow that blew up and destroyed the mage's barrier.
(Attack came from completely different direction?!) – thought Diamond as he then used [Gravity Magic: Gravity Rain], unleashing a hail of gravitational needles in the direction where the attack came from.
"…"
"…"
Quiet.
There was nothing.
The entire Blue Diamond guild was on high alert as they knew they were getting attacked by somebody.
But who?
No corpse popped up after they unleashed barrages of skills.
"…"
(I can't detect them.) – thought Diamond.
(Powerful skill which allows them to hide completely and demonic arrows strong enough to destroy my barriers.)
(It is obvious.)
"SHOW YOURSELF BANANA HUNTER!" – shouted Diamond.
"I KNOW ITS YOU!"
"SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY! THERE IS NO USE HIDDING!"
"…"
"…"
No response.
However-
"!"
"THERE!" – shouted one of the guild members as he spotted a demonic arrow climbing up the skies.
"!"
"FORMATION F! NOW!" - shouted Barge instantly, ordering the guild members to deploy their barriers and defensive skills, as the arrow which was now high above the group suddenly exploded… And transformed into the hail of countless demonic arrows that rained down and blown up on contact, straight up bombarding the whole area.
"…"
"[Dominance Magic: Oppressor Blade]." – Diamond suddenly fired off a massive space distorting blade which pulled anything near the blade and devouring it.
"Tch!" – and it almost hit somebody, who was forced to use a skill to launch themselves away in order to avoid massive space devouring blade.
"There you are." – said Diamond as the man in rags body was revealed as his skill was dispersed.
[Banana Hunter – Ranker – Guild Master Of Conquerors Guild]
"…."
"I'm going to ask you straight." – asked Diamond.
"Leave."
"I can even pay me you to tell me."
"But if you don't want to get wiped out, just fucking leave."
"We know how last time it ended when we fought mate."
"…"
"Sorry." – said Banana Hunter as he lifted his massive black bow which was two times bigger than his whole already massive body.
"But job is a job." – said Banana Hunter as he suddenly fired off another black arrow, which forced Diamond to step up and use his barrier to block off the attack in exchange for the barrier's life.
However, as Diamond blocked one attack, another one from behind.
Or more exactly, a volley of attacks.
The volley of bullets and magic caught off guard the Blue Diamond guild's members, resulting in many people getting hit extremely badly and left half dead.
However, two brothers in massive armor stepped forward and generated a wall of magma, which bought the time for the party members to recover.
"Kill them all." – said the man in goat mask as out of thin air players began appearing all around him and then rushing straight at the Blue Diamond guild's location.
"!"
"Shit! IT'S AMBUSH!" – shouted Barge.
"I will deal with Banana! You deal with those fuckers!" – shouted Diamond who was on defense, blocking off each of the assassin's arrows left and right.
"You don't need to tell me twice!" - shouted Barge as her body suddenly began changing form and size… Before then undergoing a massive mutation.
A monster mutation.
Barge whole body lower body changed to that of a massive spider, while the cowboy girl grew an extra pair of arms and eyes.
[Barge]
[Race]
[Archana]
"Let's fucking go you fuckers!" – shouted Barge in her now half spider half human monster form.
"SLAUGHTER ALL OF THOSE MERCENARIES LIKE THE WHORES THEY ARE!"
"…"
"Welp…. I guess we are doing a repeat then." – said Diamond as he suddenly teleported, avoiding the demonic arrow, before then appearing high in the air near Banana Hunter's location.
"Sorry, but I'm going all out."
"I don't have time to waste on the likes of you."
