Chapter 22：Kaiser, the Giant Crocodile

Williard released the arrow made of Ice magic aiming at the center of the lake. The Ice arrow upon hitting the water disappeared and 40m around the point of impact started to freeze. A few seconds later, Williard immediately flew upwards as fast as he can, when he saw the ripples on the surface of the water. A giant crocodile mouth erupted from inside of the lake and tried to bite and swallow the enemy, who disturbed its peaceful home.

It slowly stepped out of the lake after Remia used to provoke skill while standing on the shore of the lake. As it stepped out, Williard slowly descended and inspected it when he reached 100m range.

Kaiser (Heroic)

Level: 90

HP: 10,000,000/10,000,000

Description: Kaiser, the ruler of the Black lake.

While the battle is going on at the Black Lake in the level 85 zone, East Ocean City is in an uproar for a while ever since Flame Emperor got surpassed, a few hours ago. As the new first ranker's level was just increasing without stopping, everyone began to wonder who the new king is. On the other hand, Scarlet Guild's name also began to spread around the city as a guild as Aster and the others began to collect the gold.

Meanwhile, at Imperial guild residence, White Tiger punched the wall in frustration, "damn it. That Scarlet guild, how dare they act as they please in my city? Red Dragon, double the bounty on them and send a message that if anyone dares to sell their currency to the members of Scarlet Guild, then, they will become enemies of the Imperial guild and you also started to buy their currency, instead."

Imperial Guild Vice leader, Red Dragon replied, "Leader, just calm down and listen to me. We can't afford to go all-out attack on them. Did you forget unnamed number 1 ranker? I think it might be a Time Traveler. Earlier, we got the news that a level 115 NPC is accompanying him. I think he became a baron and hired a guard to level up.

If we pick a fight with them and he uses his guard to take revenge on us, then it would be a devastating blow to our guild. Judging by how they are buying, it seems like he has quite a background. If we make a move, then we will lose for sure. So, that's why we should…"

*Slap* immediately, Red Dragon's HP decreased by 1 as he was slapped by White Tiger in front of everyone, who was thoroughly enraged by his words. He growled, "you ****** trash. How dare you say, I, Lu Heibei, the heir to the Heibei Corporation will lose to that no-name trash. Did you put your brain in the refrigerator before starting the game that you started spouting out nonsense?

Don't you even know that even a Baron can only employ NPC, 50 levels above them? Before setting out to the wilderness, that guy was only a level 39 player. How the **** did you think that he employed an NPC 80 levels above him? What now, do you want to tell me that he's now a Viscount? First, you told me that Assassin was the leader after you lost to him. Now, you're telling me that no-name guy is the leader of Scarlet Guild and he's the unnamed number one ranker?

Even if everything you said is true, what do you mean by our guild will be devastated? Do you think 5000 members of our guild can't handle a mere level 115 NPC? How dare you look down on me that much? I've had enough of you. Get out. Just get out from here. From now on, the Black Dragon will be the Vice Guild Leader."

Red Dragon, who was humiliated in front of everyone, silently turned back and walked away amidst everyone gazes. As he left the guild residence, White Tiger sneered, "I expected he would at least snap at me and leave the guild in anger. What a spineless coward." Meanwhile, Red Dragon was stupefied on the spot as soon as he stepped out of the guild residence.

He opened the private message from Shadow Blade and read, "It seemed like your guild leader doesn't care much about you. It happened just as I have told you. Now, are you interested in working with me?"

Red Dragon replied, "I guess you have already planted spies in my guild since you seem to know the entire conversation, then, let me tell you one thing. You can't contend against Heibei Corporation. Everyone in the guild knew it. I bet you don't know…"

"Scarlet Group, the company behind our Guild. Our young master is the heir to Scarlet Group. The same security company you are thinking about. Now, are you interested?" as soon as Aster messaged it, Red Dragon cursed out, "**** that's one of the biggest companies in the entire Eastern Continent. Even if White Tiger will be silent, he will still get destroyed by the Scarlet guild as he already offended them. I guess the Imperial guild is already doomed the moment White Tiger posted the bounty publicly."

He immediately messaged back, "when and where should we meet?" Aster smiled as he secured one more elite for the guild and then texted one more player to negotiate the terms with her.

Two hours later, in the level 85 zone, as the Giant Crocodile collapsed on the shore before disappearing away and leaving behind a pile of items, Williard received a notification followed by three level-up notifications.

"Kaiser is dead. You gained 3,085,124 EXP."

"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 94."

Williard smiled while thinking, "I did a good job, this time. Disbanding the party and landing the final hit gave me all the EXP." After forming a party with Remia again, Williard inspected the items that are dropped and sighed as he only found a silver bow instead of a gold grade one. Thinking of trying his luck with the boss in the next zone, he inspected the items.

Kaiser's Bow

Level: 90

Grade: Silver

Attack: 783-810

Critical rate: 26.9%

Pierce: 18.5%

"Sigh. Compared to that level 60 Epic bow, this is a lot worse. Let's see the other items."

Kaiser's Bracers

Level: 90

Grade: Gold

HP: 9021

Defense: 997

????

????

Kaiser's ring

Level: 90

Grade: Gold

Attack: 12.6%

HP: 28.3%

????

"Now, this ring is a good one. I wonder what stat I will get when I appraised it. I hope it is speed or MP, instead of Defense. Oh! There's a skill book."

Toughness

Description: Increase the toughness of your body.

Effects: Increase your defense by 5%. It stacks with other similar effects.

Even though it's only 5%, as it will increase while his defense increases, Williard thought there's no harm equipping this passive skill. Then, looking at his real-time, he mumbled, "It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Let's just rest for now."

After choosing a safe spot in the mountains between the rocks, Williard said, "Remia, you are done for today. Tomorrow, meet me here in this same spot at 10 o'clock. From tomorrow, we'll be hunting down the monsters from 10:00 hours to 42:00 hours. And from 42:00 hours to 02:00 hours, you'll hunt with my allies. After that, your work will be done." As Remia began to return, Williard equipped Raiger's necklace, Silver Bow, Casseri's Boots, Kaiser's Bracers, and Kaiser Ring. Then, after distributing all the attributes he gained he inspected his new stats before logging out.
