Chapter 378 - Operation Sparrow (VI)

Earlier, I was expecting more, but...

Towers destroyed: 3/3

Main Guild Destroyed 0/1 (Optional)

Leader killed: 0/1

I already depleted all of their towers and the only remaining thing I needed to do is destroy the main guild's headquarters or kill the guild leader. Since the purpose of this battle is to destroy the Blue Sky Guild, destroying the main guild's headquarters is also included in my agenda. Sure, they poured a lot of money to the guild's headquarters but so what? Do I have to care about that? After all, it's not my choice for them to invest a lot of money only to end up being washed away from a battle.

After destroying the last tower, I waited for a bit to see if they have the reinforcements to back up the remaining players trying to salvage what was left from the final tower but no one came so I ended up dealing with all of them and killed them all after I got bored waiting.

Time for the final boss I guess?

After kicking the last debris that has fallen from the last tower, I made my way towards the guild house. And to my surprise, the remaining players are gathered there. The Clerics I failed to kill from earlier are now present in the backline, ready to keep the teams alive and I was more surprised since the leader himself is just sitting on the balcony of the guild house, looking at the situation below. I can just shoot him dead but what is the point of that? I am not here to end the Guild War as fast as I can but to make it last long enough for Harmless Sparrow to finish her job.

"You finally came huh? I thought you just surrendered after not coming here for a while," he pushed the glasses slightly, adjusting them to make him look like an intelligent person.

"Huh, and here I thought you guys give up after you abandoned the final tower. It looks like you just used those subordinates of yours to prepare huh? Pretty nasty I should say, but that's still a strategy. Just that it's a bad strat in my opinion," I shrug seeing how nonchalant he was.

"Heh, but I must say, you exceeded my expectations and you seemed to have not broken a sweat at all."

"Because everything you have done right now can be considered all as child's play. I don't even feel the pressure. I was expecting more from you guys since this guild is part of the first guilds created. I expected to challenge but all I smell in the air is the failure."

I can see that he was visibly shaken from what I just said. Did I hit a nerve or something?

"Well, enough talk, since you willingly appear here to die, then we will grant your wish! Everyone! Attack him!"

I quickly went into battle stance and grinned as he ordered me to fight.

"Ha! Now you are talking! Show me how you guys are intending to kill me!"

Seeing that all of the attackers are melee units, I also decided to fight in melee. Kind of respect to them and to prolong the battle. It will be no fun if I just shoot them in the head and they die right? 

Pulling out the Versatile Weapon, I keep it in the form of a shield and just continue to bash them with it. A shield might be a weapon for protection but who said they are just exclusive for protection? Underestimating a shield can cost you a single tooth and that is very much an underestimation of what a shield can do.

CLANG! CLANG!

The swords collude with the shield, but they are too weak. I easily swipe them away before bashing their faces with the shield's exterior and with the sharp parts, I used that to deal a bit of pain. I don't know if that was enough to at least deal quite a pain to them but hey, at least they are now squirming in pain.

The remaining hunters immediately started to shoot me with arrows. I quickly block my shield and since they are using range attacks, why would I hold back using the gun? I fight range with range and I fight melee with melee. Let's see how he reacts to this?

...

...

On the balcony, although the Vice President is looking like everything is going according to his plan, his inner self is already struggling to keep himself screaming in anger and frustration.

No one said that this guy is a literal monster and he is not just doing like he is enjoying it rather than struggling from it. A literal monster in a small sense. I saw the videos of him during the first solo guild war and I expected him to do the same thing so that it compensates him for fighting alone. But this was different. Not only does he not summon any of his followers, but he is also just toying with them without a care. This isn't what I have in mind.

...

...

The enemies are getting too annoying but still not a threat to me. So this time, I decided to use this chance to have Cotton do her job.

"Cotton, come out now since it is no longer that dangerous, and it's much easier for you to toy around these guys without a care!"

With my call, Cotton appeared and began to shoot some strings towards the enemies. This caught most of the players off guard and tried cutting it with their swords, only to find it not working and getting them more stuck than needed to be.

"The f*ck is this?! Why can't I cut it?"

"Oy, please get me out of here!"

"Ah, crap stop pulling! I am getting tangled here!"

Everyone who got caught by the webs is now struggling to get out.

"Alright, it's time to catch and squish the flies that got caught! I hope you guys will enjoy...."
