Chapter 454: Unexpected Turn Of Events [Part 2]

"Actually, the answer to that is simple. All we need to do is... do nothing."

If the members of the Storm Dragon Guild had been looking at Lux as if he was an Angel earlier, now they all looked at him as if he had gone crazy.

"What do you mean do nothing?" Nero asked. "That is 2,000 Stat Points. You can't just get those points just because you want to. Do you know how much effort it will take for every person here to regain the stat points that they will lose if we switch sides today?"

Everyone nodded their heads to support Nero's statement. Even if they started hunting Monsters, it would take a lot of effort to collect that many Beast Cores at once. Also, there was a possibility that not everyone would receive their fair share of Beast Cores before the main mission was over.

Even during Guild Dungeon Expeditions, they could only get one to three high-level Beast Cores at most. These Beast Cores would then be sent to the Guild Treasury and would only be awarded to Guild Members that had made great contributions to the guild.

This was why when they got the 2,000+ Free Stat Points due to the Beast Cores they gained from the Big Game Hunter Quest, all of them were ecstatic because those Beast Cores belonged entirely to them without needing to share them with others.

"Isn't it just 2,000 Stat Points?" Lux asked. "All of you should just ask your respective Factions to compensate you for the loss of your stat points. I'm sure that Sir Gerald will be more than happy to give all fifteen of you the Beast Cores that will allow you to regain the stats you lost today.

Outside of the Domain of the Fallen...

Gerald almost spat blood then and there after hearing Lux's shameless words.

Rainer, who was by his side, shook his head, while Natasha chuckled.

"I guess he is still holding a grudge about the Guild Creation Quest we imposed on him," Natasha said. "What do you think, Rainer?"

Rainer nodded. "He is definitely holding a grudge. I guess we should loosen our treasury a bit and compensate our juniors this time around. What do you say, Commander?"

"I say we grab that little brat when he gets back, hang him upside down in the plaza of Wildgarde Stronghold, and beat him up with a wooden stick!" Gerald wanted to curse the Half-Elf so badly, but due to the fact that they were surrounded by the various representatives of the various Kingdoms, he lowered his voice, so that only his two companions could hear it.

The Rankers of the Xynnar War Pack, Skystead Alliance, and Six Kingdoms all gave Gerald smiling glances, which made the Commander of Wildgarde Stronghold give all of them the middle finger in his heart.

'What are you bastards laughing at?' Gerald sneered. 'Just you bastards wait! If Lux has decided to make things difficult for me, he will certainly do the same thing to you guys as well!'

As if confirming Gerald's words, the Half-Elf then glanced at the rest of the group and gave them a devilish smile.

"The same can be said for everyone here. You can let your Elders, or your Kingdoms, compensate you by having them give you Beast Cores. All of them are Rankers, right? Can't they give you a few Rank 5 Beast Cores from Alpha, Field, and World Bosses to raise your stats again? I find it hard to believe that a Ranker can't even handle those small fries."

"You're insane!" one of the members of the Xynnar War Pact exclaimed. "We're not allowed to get special treatment from our Elders!"

"That's right!" A young lady from the Skystead Alliance glared at Lux. "Emperor Andreas will not compensate us with Beast Cores unless we succeed in this mission!"

Lux wagged his finger at the young lady from the Skystead Alliance and smirked.

"Then, did you come here to fail?" Lux inquired.

"O-Of course not!" the young lady replied. "We came here to clear the mission and return victorious!"

"Then what's the problem? All we need to do is complete our mission, then all of you will get your stats back. Everyone will be happy, right?"

"T-This..."

After thinking all night, Lux couldn't find a good way on how to compensate everyone for the massive loss of their stat points.

Even if they started hunting Monsters and shared the Beast Cores equally among them, it would still take a lot of effort in order to return everyone's stats.

He simply didn't have the time to do this, and it would just prolong their current mission. After realizing that he had hit a dead end, the Half-Elf decided to stop caring and toss the problem to other people!

That was the solution he came up with. Since he didn't want to deal with the problem, let others solve it instead.

Domain of the Fallen...

An awkward silence descended inside the Domain of the Fallen as all the Rankers, Ambassadors, and other representatives of the various Factions glanced at each other in dismay.

This silence was broken when one of the representatives of the Kingdoms muttered the words that everyone was thinking at that moment.

"Is this Half-Elf crazy?"

Gerald, who heard this, had a calm expression on his face, but deep inside he was gloating at everyone inside the Domain of the Fallen.

He was one of the people that raised the Half-Elf in Wildgarde Stronghold, and one of the things that he both loved and hated about Lux was the fact that, when he decided on something, he would become quite stubborn about it.

Since the Half-Elf decided to switch sides, he would definitely switch sides regardless of what others thought.

"The Skystead Alliance will compensate our representatives for their loss in this mission," Aron said.

He was the right-hand man of Emperor Andreas and had the authority to decide things on the spot. A few lowly Beast Cores didn't matter to him, and he would gladly use his own funds to cover the gold loss of their representatives as long as they had a higher chance of succeeding in their mission.

Because Aron had already made his declaration, the other Factions voiced their agreement as well.

However, deep in their hearts, they were cursing at the Half-Elf for doing something high-handed.

Naturally, the Half-Elf and the other teenagers inside the Sacred Dungeon weren't aware that all of their Superiors had grudgingly agreed to compensate them for their losses.

Since they were not aware, they were still feeling anxious as they contemplated whether to switch sides or not.

Lux looked at everyone in front of him with a determined expression.

He had already made up his mind to join the Yelan Camp, so even if the others didn't come with him, and decided to stay with the Ammarian Kingdom, he would just go alone and that was final.

"Make your decision now," Lux stated. "Those who want to join me in switching sides to the Yelan Camp, come to my side."

As soon as the Half-Elf said these words, Cai immediately walked towards Lux and stood by his side.

"I'm always on the winning side, so I'll go there," Cai commented.

Keane and Cai moved at the same time, but the Boar was first to stand beside the Half-Elf, making him the second.

He had complete trust in Lux's decision, so he didn't mind joining his side. As a member of the only Mythical Guild in the world, it was only normal for him to join his Guildmaster.

Xander was the third to go. Whatever side Cai joined, he would also join that side.

Einar was the fourth.

Val was the fifth.

And the last was none other than Henrietta.

Aside from the fact that she was ordered to remain by Lux's side, she also had a nagging feeling that joining the Half-Elf was the right decision to take, despite the fact that the losses she might gain from this mission would make her Rank deteriorate.

Seeing that no one else was planning to join them, the Half-Elf nodded.

"From now on, all of you are freed from the Ars Goetia Mercenary Group," Lux stated. "Whatever side wins this war, no hard feelings, okay?"

Just as Lux was about to leave, he heard a shout from an unexpected person.

"Wait!"

Malcolm clenched his fists tightly as he walked towards the Half-Elf.

"I am going with you," Malcolm stated which shocked his comrades from the Skystead Alliance.

"M-Malcolm are you sure about this?" the young lady who made an outburst earlier asked. "If you fail this mission, you might miss the chance to get promoted to a higher position in the Vahan Empire. Are you really willing to take that gamble?"

"Yes," Malcolm stated through gritted teeth.

The only reason why he was joining Lux's team was because the latter had managed to defeat him in their battle several months ago.

Malcolm originally thought that the Half-Elf had managed to win by sheer luck, but after hearing his explanation about switching their allegiance, he understood how bold a decision it was.

Although the chances of success were uncertain, he decided to take a gamble and join Lux. If he failed the mission, then he would just leave the Vahan Empire in order to not stain his father's reputation.

"Are you really sure about this?" Lux asked Malcolm who was looking at him with bloodshot eyes.

"No, but I already made a decision. All we need to do is to win, right?"

"Yes. All we need to do is win."

The Half-Elf smiled as he took a second glance at the fuming young man in front of him who was older than him by several years.

"Okay, so this is where we all part," Lux said as he looked at the people who decided to stay behind. "May the best side win."

Half-Elf turned around in order to walk in the direction of the Yelan Camp, but his step froze when he saw someone standing a few meters in front of him.

"You're right," the Vice-General of the Ammarian Camp, who everyone referred to as "Second", said as he looked at the Half-Elf and his group with a sinister smile. "May the best side win."

Before the Half-Elf could even react, the Vice-General's sword pierced his chest, killing him instantly.

The last thing Lux saw before his world descended into darkness was the Vice-General's sneering face, which made him realize that he had truly underestimated the man who was the true General that commanded the Ammarian Army in the Marshlands.

Iris, who was watching the projection through Henrietta's artifact, almost screamed out loud when Lux was killed in front of her.

However, it didn't end there.

The one next to die was Cai, followed by Keane.

Henrietta, Einar, Val, Xander, and Malcolm tried to defend themselves from the attacker, but they were simply no match against a Ranker.

They were like newly hatched birds that were strangled by an adult human's hand, ending their lives before they could even grow and spread their wings to fly.
