Chapter 217 - Monsters

"Yes, I didn't receive any damage, but you're forgetting one thing, it still freaking hurts!" Michael groaned in anger.

"Tsk, stop being a cry baby and just deal with it" Solitary Tempest snorted as she started walking over to the items dropped on the ground.

Hearing what she said, a bulge of vein appeared on his forehead and one corner of his right eye even started twitching while staring at Solitary Tempest.

"What about VIper? Is he not coming?" Solitary Tempest asked as she continued to busy herself with the loot on the ground.

"How long have you been waiting for us?" Michael didn't answer her question and instead started making his way into a nearby small boulder and sat on top of it.

"An hour now, been hunting some monsters. Right, I also PK'd with a team of players earlier while waiting for you two. So they might come here and attack us later" Solitary Tempest said as she dusted off the dust from her hands.

"What?" Michael said a bit surprised, wondering how the hell does this woman always gets herself into trouble.

Five minutes later.

Shua!

VIper had just logged on into the game and made his way over towards Michael and Solitary Tempest when the three of them quickly noticed a small dust cloud over from the distance, and where its currently making its way towards their direction.

"I told you they would come sooner or later, and they even brought back up," Solitary Tempest said as she summoned a two feet tall and a meter in length white wolf with a spiraling horn on its forehead.

Viper raised an eyebrow at Amanda's pet before turning his attention towards Michael and said, "Who are they? Anything I missed?"

Michael rolled his eyes and said, "Tempest here killed some players while we were away"

Hearing that, Viper quickly smiled and prepared himself wfor the upcoming battle.

"Nice, I thought it's gonna be another boring journey on the road the moment I'm back here"

Michael just snorted and also summoned his own combat pet.

Shua!

"Aro~dan!"

Michael's cute rabbit pet once again made his appearance, and when the white wolf saw the jade rabbit, it's pair of eyes quickly flashed with a glint of wariness in its eyes.

Aran quickly noticed a pair of eyes looking at him the moment he landed on the ground, and it quickly turned towards the direction from where it was coming from, and Aran's gaze quickly met the gaze of the Storm Wolf.

"Arodan!"

The Jade Rabbit snorted and looked at the Storm Wolf with disdain in its eyes.

"Grr!"

The Storm Wolf just snorted in response and ignored him, and the Jade Rabbit suddenly faltered in his step from getting ignored, which made Solitary Tempest laughed at the rabbit's silliness.

Meanwhile.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

"Boss, that's the woman who killed us! She even brought her friends with her this time!" a Hunter in horseback angrily said while pointing towards the direction of Amanda and the others.

Their boss was a man around his late twenties and with a mohawk hairstyle and someone who goes by the name of Thunder Hawk, but when he looked towards the direction of where his subordinate was pointing at.

He was shocked to see the three very familiar names floating above the heads of the three players that he almost choked himself in horror.

"Halt!"

Thunder Hawk hastily yelled and quickly pulled the reins of his mount, as it slid off forward due to a sudden stoppage before it came to a complete halt.

And the same scene happened to the other members with him, and they quickly turned towards their team leader with confusion plastered on their faces.

"Boss, what-"

"Turn around, NOW!"

Thunder Hawk ignored him and quickly had his mount turn around and galloped towards the direction of where they came from.

His men were confused at first, but they still quickly caught up to him, and one of the players who were one of the victims of Solitary Tempest asked.

"Boss, what happened? Why are we suddenly turning around? Aren't we going to attack them to get our revenge?" a Huntress called Fairchild asked, her face painted with anger on why they had suddenly turned around.

"Are you guys idiots!? You actually provoked that woman!? That walking disaster, Solitary Tempest is a living legend in the gaming scene! Shadow is currently a rising star, while The Viper is famous as a member of that Mercenary Guild, Revenants!"

"Sharval Kingdom is already a mess with multiple guilds keeping a wary distance from the Revenants as they didn't want to end up like Judgement Fall and the members of Blackskull in the Kingdom that has been constantly harassed and killed by them"

"Now, news has it that the Revenants are now extending their hands towards the neighboring kingdoms, and practically everyone is rushing to establish contact with its members"

"But the appearance of one of them here changes everything as the news that we had gotten is clearly not accurate, and if we provoke them first, then we would probably end up like Black Skull!"

"Why should we be afraid of them? They only have a few people and this Dukedom is where most of our members are located, unlike the Blackskull Guild in Sharval that only has a few hundreds of them" Fairchild snorted in disdain.

Hearing her, most of them shook their heads at the stupidity of this woman.

Of course, those guilds wouldn't normally be afraid of them with their small number, but every single one of them is so skilled that no one had ever managed to capture, much less even kill one of them.

Even the Guild Leader of the Black Skull personally made a move, but even he was helpless against one of them.

They even wondered if these players are actually NPCs disguised as players, as their skills are too monstrous that character attributes seem to be useless to them.

Some players even reported it to the company that the members of Revenants are probably using a bug that's making them unkillable, but the response that they had gotten was that everything is normal and that the players are not using any bugs whatsoever, which thoroughly dumbfounded the entire player base, because the response from the company just confirmed that these people are even far scarier than Solitary Tempest, as the woman could still be killed if some of the Top 10 in the Player Rankings gangs up on her or hundreds of players besieges her.

But these Revenants are like c.o.c.kroaches because they were once besieged by hundreds of players before, but no one from their side had died, and instead, they killed at least a fourth of their attackers before they made their escape.

"So...so we're just gonna let this go?" Fairchild said with a bit of hesitation in her voice.

Thunder Hawk turned his attention towards her and coldly said, "Are you saying that we should all die then?"

Fairchild couldn't say a word in reply and just hang her head low in defeat.

Meanwhile.

"Huh? What happened? Aren't they supposed to charge at us and trash talk arrogantly while at it?" Viper said, as his eyes flash with a hint of disappointment.

Michael and Solitary Tempest just rolled their eyes at Viper's remark.

"One of them probably recognized one of us or they just have another matter to attend to," Michael said, before putting his sword away.

"Pity, they would have been a good warm-up" Viper said while shrugging his shoulders.
