Chapter 504 - Icy Stone Leaf (2)

The SkyX's leader frowned. He knew that those herbs would only spawn when the boss had spawned. However, he didn't believe Auron's statement that easily.

The SkyX's leader stepped back and called some of the higher members in the guild and discussed this.

A discussion was made between SkyX's higher-ups. Meanwhile, Auron waited patiently. He knew that it was not easy to convince someone. Moreover, they didn't know each other.

Not long after, the discussion had ended. The SkyX's leader approached Auron's group with the higher-ups behind him.

"We can let you take the herbs." The SkyX's leader stated. Although the herbs were pretty good items, it was not that much compared to the boss.

"However, you can only start to gather the herbs after the boss had died, and we all leave this place. How about it?" The SkyX's leader questioned Auron.

The [Icy Stone Plant] would only spawn at the field boss' first appearance. This way, the herbs would be around the boss. So, if they wanted to gather the boss during the fight, they would have to approach the boss.

Because of this, there would be a high chance that Auron's group could kill steal the boss, and the SkyX's guild didn't want that to happen. Hence, they gave this condition to Auron.

Auron knew that the reason behind SkyX's guild statement. He accepted the guild leader condition. With that, Auron's group backed out to show their goodwill.

During this encounter, Auron was the only one that spoke. Smite, Jeffrey, and Julia didn't talk anything. 

When Auron's group had backed out, Smite suddenly said, "There are several other groups than us."

Auron already knew about this. Even though SkyX's guild had already won the right to kill the boss, there would still be people who tried to steal the boss, at least, stealing the loot.

Of course, SkyX's guild already wary about these people. That was why they had dispatched more guild members to this place to guard the battle.

Time ticking by, as more SkyX's guild members arrived at the area, the number of people surrounding the area also increased. Some people tried to kill steal the boss, or people like Auron wanted to get the [Icy Stone Plant].

For the upper-class player, [Icy Stone Plant] was not that precious, but it was still had some worth for some people.

Although Auron had requested the SkyX's guild leader politely, he actually didn't need to do that. He could just wait at the outskirts and charge when the boss had died.

Auron could feel the competitive aura in the surrounding area. On the other hand, the SkyX guild also got more pressure. The leader had never thought that the number of people eyeing this field boss would be this many.

SkyX guild had already participated in this field boss several times. However, during his participation before, they never had this many participants. Seeing the participation rate right now, he decided to go all out. He commanded all of his guild members online right now to come here.

After the SkyX guild's leader commanded, a roar was heard. It was the sign when the field boss had spawned. 

Auron looked at the center of the area. He saw a faint silhouette slowly materializing. A few seconds later, the silhouette materialized completely, and a roar was heard.

The field boss had been spawned completely. When the field boss had been spawned, the ground, a meter from the boss, [Icy Stone Plant], started to appear. The number was pretty high. However, the plant view started to get blocked by the SkyX guild's members who started the fight.

The battle for the boss had started. Several members of the SkyX guild had already fight with the boss. Meanwhile, the member that guards the surrounding area also tensed up. Although they didn't attack the boss, they also had an essential role in this raid. They had to prevent or, at least, stopped the stealer for a bit.

Of course, these stealers would not take any action right now. They would take action when the boss almost died.

The boss' health started to reduce. Although these players' damage is not that much, the boss' health reduced quickly because of their numbers and continuous attacksly.

In just 5 minutes, the boss had lost 30% of its health. And, the numbers were still going down.

The SkyX guild's leader was also quite good at commanding his guild members. The number of casualties from the guild was not that many. Also, slowly, more and more SkyX guild's members arrived because of the leader's last command.

Another 5 minutes passed, another 40% of the boss' health disappeared. And, its health kept on going down as time passed by.

When the boss' health was under 10%, the people besides Auron started to prepare. There were even some people that had already clashed with the SkyX guild's members.

Auron also said to his group, "Let's prepare as well!"

Although Auron had asked for permission from the SkyX guild's leader, the other parties would not care about that. This was a competition for sure. The one that claims the item, the one that will keep the item.

The boss's health dropped quicker compared to before. This was the SkyX guild's leader strategy to pour everything in the last minute. He hoped by doing this, they could take their competitor by surprise and got all of the loots. 

However, the people around the area had already paid attention to the boss. So, when the boss' health dropped quicker, these people had moved. The number of clashes increased. Meanwhile, there were also several people that tried to gather the herbs before the boss died.

Of course, these people died before they reached the herbs whether by the SkyX guild members or by the field boss.

Auron also started to get his group ready, "Let's get ready!"

In this chaotic battlefield, anything could happen. So, Auron didn't want to come back empty-handed after all of this hard work.
