Chapter 85: C015 – Nebula Guild’s Leader

[Cyber Cafe Golden Hand - Osaka]

In a certain VIP room of the Cyber Cafe called Golden Hand, a young man came out of a Premium-type Pod.

This youth, Tenkawa Shouya (20), got up from the Pod and smashed the table beside him with an angry expression. Snacks and drinks on the table that have been prepared in advance by robot waiters inevitably fall and scatter on the floor.

Luckily, the plates and glasses used were made of shatter-resistant acrylic glass, so nothing serious happened.

"Dammit! Dammit!! DAMMIIIIIIIIT!!!"

Shouya who was having a bad day spat out cursed words in anger.

In the game, he played as Nefertius, a Lv107 Human Paladin and was the Guild Master of the Nebula Guild, the owner of Drusel Fort which was attacked by the Orc army.

As soon as the update procedure was finished, Nefertius hurriedly logged in to defend Drusel Fort. But unfortunately, when he managed to get online, the situation was already irreversible.

The protective barrier collapsed at the same time the mana supply ran out. Without the barrier, the shockwave caused by Orc Lord's skill devastated the entire city, killing many of the people who had not managed to escape via the Teleportation Gate. Only a few people who had at least over 50k HP and high defense survived the disaster, including Nefertius.

Not only that, the shockwave also destroyed all the Save-Crystals. This automatically shifts each related Player's Save Point to their previous one, where Save-Crystals are still present. Now, no one can respawn in the Fort anymore.

At this point, Drusel Fortress City has officially fallen.

The Orc army started to enter the Fort which had lost its barrier. But of course, Nefertius and the rest of the Nebula members still didn't give up. If they could just kill the Orc Lord, then the difficulty of retaking the Fort could be drastically reduced.

They resurrected every Players that can be resurrected, and kill the Orcs as many as possible.

Nefertius himself is a tanker, Paladin full-defense build that minmaxes his VIT stat to increase defense and Max HP. He wears a set of Epic-ranked equipment that gives over 200,000 HP, high HP regen, and a 90% physical damage reduction.

With those stats and equipment, he boasted himself for being immortal, never experiencing death even once. And for those who level up to the LV100 without death, they get a bonus +10 all statistics, which further strengthens them, but canceled upon death.

But in exchange, his attack power is low and he needs to rely on counter skills such as "Counter Strike" and "Reflect Shield" to defeat his enemies.

Unfortunately this time, the Matthew effect applied very well on him.

- When something goes wrong, everything goes wrong too.

Nefertius and the surviving members managed to kill some Orc mobs without problem. However, when facing the Orc Lord, they discovered that in front of absolute strength, any strategy was meaningless.

The roar of the Orc Lord instantly paralyzed all Players present, removing all buffs and inflicting various bad statuses. The stomping of its feet caused a small earthquake, destroying several nearby buildings. Except for Nefertius, none of the Players present could withstand the Orc Lord's punch, and anyone who took a direct hit was turned into particles.

Not only that, the black aura that enveloped the Orc Lord seemed to block all damage, be it physical or magical. No, to be more precise, the aura reduced each damage inflicted by 50,000.

What was the concept of 50,000 damage reduction?

This means all attack that dealt damage less than 50,000, be it skills or spells, can only dealt 0 damage. Even the famous Ultimate Skills such as "Assassinate" was also have the final damage reduced and can only deal less than 1000 damage.

And thus, it didn't take long for the players to be annihilated, except for Nefertius who was able to survive due to his extremely high defense. But even if he survives, with the loss of DPSes, he couldn't even inflict a single damage to the Orc Lord.

He could only endure while endlessly asking for help in the Guild Chat and Region Chat, which were largely ignored, and hoping for reinforcements that would never come.

Until he runs out of his 8-hours consecutive login limit.

Back to the present.

Shouya's expression was ugly from extreme anger.

"TRASH! ALL OF YOU IS A TRASH! UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SYITT!!"

He recalled the battle earlier.

His guild members, allies, friends, as well as everyone who ignored his pleas for help. Nebula Guild had brought them many advantages, but when needed, they couldn't be relied upon.

And then, Nefertius who had reached the login limit, couldn't help but be forced to log out. Moreover, since he was in the middle of a battle, this forced logout had to be a quasi-logout that left his body unprotected.

"Dammit...! I got forced logout in the middle of battle! My Heroic Equipment Set! My bonus stats!!"

With his minmaxed VIT stat and Epic-ranked equipment, his defense was extremely high, to the point that his HP won't fell into the yellow zone even if the Orc Lord hit him for several days.

But once his avatar left soulless like that, anyone could strip his equipment as if peeling boiled eggs. No need for Trickster's Divest skills, they can just strip his equipment, like stripping a girl's clothes. Once that happens, killing him was not that hard. And once he died, his "no-death" bonus stats will be gone like a smoke.

It wasn't like he hadn't receive the warning beforehand. But because he opened a lot of chat windows, the warning message was buried. In addition, the sound of the battle also deafening his ears, making him missed the sound warning.

Realizing this, Shouya could only hold his head in despair.

He tried to log in again but ended up receiving another warning from the Pod.
