With a nicely timed move, Colossus managed to block Tobi's arrow with the blunt side of his axe. Then, he pushed it onward and managed to force Tobi away from him.
The hot liquid was dripping down from his eye socket, and he couldn't see anything or feel anything from his grave injury.
His HP was already down to 100.
Then, he pulled out the arrow and tossed it away. The hole became more noticeable, and it was indeed a gore sight.
''RAAAH!'' With an enraged shout, Colossus raised his axe and hammered it down at Colorful, who leaped backward instantly.
CRACK!
The axe destroyed the ground, which sent small pieces of tiles flying around.
''Whew…'' Tobi was back at his two feet. After wiping his sweat, he pulled out several arrows and placed them on the bowstring. Then, he began firing alongside Colorful.
''I won't lose!'' Colossus jumped forward while swinging the axe and smashing the incoming arrows into pieces.
Then, he landed in the middle of Tobi and Colorful. After changing the grip of his axe's handle, he continued slashing.
…
The battle between King Michael, King Jonathan, and Queen Diana was still undergoing.
King Michael weaved through the arrows and slashed toward King Jonathan, who put his shield in the way and blocked the strike.
Then, Queen Diana pulled out a thin-bladed rapier from underneath her robes. Shockingly, she threw her bow away and continued fighting with it.
However, when their weapons were about to collide. A loud bang echoed in the open valley, causing everyone to be wary.
Usually, after a loud bang, someone would get killed.
Spurt!
''Ah!'' King Jonathan cried out and saw a hole on his thigh. Someone managed to shoot him!
He couldn't afford to turn around to look at whoever shot at him. He was still fighting against King Michael, and one loss of concentration would mean his death.
Then, more bang's echoed, and bullets began flying across the air. More and more Golden Crown members began dying.
Some distance away, Isaac narrowed his eyes and scanned the area. Then, he noticed a reflection of light coming from one of the trees. After noticing it, another bullet left that tree and killed another Golden Crown member.
With no time to waste, Isaac turned around and created some distance before turning away after he had a clear sight of the tree.
However, when he was about to fire, a sole silver-armored man managed to push through waves of players and saw a white-haired man holding a sniper rifle. Instantly, he thought that it would be a free kill.
After all, Marksmen were apparently useless within close quarters.
He slashed while his sword caused a weird hum-like sound. When the sword was about to cut through the white-haired man's face. Suddenly, Isaac fired!
BANG!
The silver-armored man flinched and momentarily stopped his attack.
The bullet flew across the air and hit the person hiding in the tree, who fell from there and turned pixels while falling.
Then, Isaac spun the gun around and deflected the sword strike. The silver-armored man looked shocked and was then hit to the stomach by the white-haired man's solid kick.
After he wobbled back, another sound of a gun firing was heard. The bullet drilled through his forehead and killed him swiftly.
''Whew…'' Isaac's legs trembled. His stamina was running out, and his breathing had gone rough.
'Sigh… I really need a break after this…' He thought to himself with a wry smile.
…
Somewhere in Stronglord, there was a house that was populated with somewhat strange individuals.
From the outside, the house looked intimate and cozy. It was built of white bricks with blue paint that decorated the walls in warm colors. Small round-shaped windows let plenty of light to the first floor's rooms.
The house was equipped with a modern kitchen, a spacious living room, four bedrooms, and a large bathroom.
The roof was triangular shaped and built with black-colored tiles. A small chimney poked out of the center of the roof. Several smaller windows illuminated the dimly lit attic.
The house itself was surrounded by a modest garden and white fence. At first glance, it would look like a house that fits a family of four.
However, that wasn't the case.
Currently, KnightOfHoliness, a handsome man with beautiful blond hair, was swinging his sword up and down in a rhythmic manner in the living room.
The couches, tables, and cabinets were pushed to the side to allow them to create a small training space.
Next to him, KnightOfCharming and KnightOfProtection did the same and swung their swords with sweat dribblets dropping down to the already sweat-stained floor.
Since the defeat in Colosseum, KnightOfHoliness was mocked mercilessly by everyone. His arrogant demeanor wasn't that popular within the player base.
His hatred toward Wraith bloomed like the darkest petaled flower. He wasn't planning to rest before Wraith was kneeling before him with a depressed look on his face.
After remembering the face of his hatred, the power of his swings grew until the surrounding furniture was in danger of getting sliced apart.
Before he could break the room apart, the front door opened. Salamander and TomValeo appeared with severe looks.
''Holiness.'' Salamander opened his mouth.
KnightOfHoliness stopped swinging and slipped his sword into his scabbard. Then, he took out his napkin and cleaned his sweat-drenched forehead.
His two friends collapsed on the chairs with exhaustion oozing from their features.
''What?'' KnightOfHoliness asked.
''Guild War is happening in Forest of Unknown.''
KnightOfCharming and KnightofProtection perked up their ears. They listened attentively because it sounded pretty important.
But, KnightOfHoliness didn't care about anything else other than Wraith.
''So?'' He asked with a somewhat rude tone and slumped on the couch.
Salamander furrowed his brows. He had begun hating Holiness' current personality. Ever since his defeat, he'd been unbearable.
TomValeo stepped forth and said, ''Wraith is there…''
KnightOfHoliness jumped to his two feet and shouted, ''Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!''
He took his coat and bolted out of the house, quickly followed by his two friends.
Salamander and TomValeo looked at each other. Both shook their heads. Their so-called Guild had a very rocky start, and it was going downhill very quickly.
However, once they stabilize their current situation, they plan to finally reveal themselves to the world.
