Chapter 221: 3-star Elementalist: The final wave failed?

The next day afternoon;

'Eh? You sold the guild shares to Scarlet group?' Hyori was taken aback as she was watching Wil's interview. Her facial expression changed, 'what kind of bullshit is this… Aren't you the heir of the Scarlet group? Why are you selling your shares to yourself?'

As Wil's bestie, Hyori was already aware of his status. She found it ridiculous that this guy is lying to the public so naturally.

She usually hates scammers for years after she knew that his father was once scammed but now, her close friend is turning out to be one.

After her college finished, she immediately called him. Upon hearing that he was just having lunch at his apartment, she rushed to the home and confronted him.

"I didn't lie, though," Wil answered while looking away. "I did sell the share of our guilds to the Scarlet group. Previously, it was my own but now, the company's also can make decisions like… Yes, the board of directors… There's a difference you know…"

She narrowed her eyes, clearly, not intending to believe his words. Even though they only meet once in a while, she was someone who knew Wil's traits.

"Who are you kidding…" She scoffed in return, "If that were completely true, you wouldn't bother yourself explaining to me. I won't ask if you want to hide something but just don't treat me like a fool, Wil… You already made me once by letting me think that I got the seeded position by my own effort…"

As she got from the seat to leave, Wil sighed and grabbed her wrist. "Wait."

He then apologized, "alright… Sorry about that. To protect my identity and the guild from powerful enemies, I need to make up another identity." He didn't comment anything about his involvement in other matters.

"So, just that?" Hyori looked at him in confusion.

"This time, I'm telling the truth. Trust me." He stared into her eyes. It wasn't a complete truth but he wasn't lying to her either.

"Alright. I believe you." Hyori smiled with a nod. One glance into his eyes, she knew he was telling the truth.

As she left, Wil mumbled, "I don't understand why girls make a big deal out of nothing."

Wil spent his evening going on an outing with the three sisters since it's been a while since he ate street food at Manchong Street. Silver also accompanied them to reassure their father of the safety.

For some reason, their father trusted Silver more than Wil even though it's only been three days since he became the new secretary for Scarlet Apartments.

Unlike Aster, who only focused on collecting rents or solving the maintenance issues, Silver focused on forming relationships with others. For someone who maintained the casinos, he also has a way with his words to convince others.

After filling their stomachs, they went to a karaoke place to have fun for a while. Wil's voice turned hoarse with non-stop singing for more than an hour.

Returning home, he slept soundly after enjoying his break.

The next day morning, Wil brush his teeth, took a shower, and had a quick breakfast before entering the capsule to finish the thing he left in the midway.

*Welcome to War Online*

Wil found himself on the shore of the island, instead of underwater.

*Ding! You were forced to log out in the middle of the final wave. It will resume in 3, 2, 1…

Wil didn't waste any time in using the Dash skill to quickly dive into the ocean and wait for 3 minutes.

Changing into a humanoid dragon in the water, his senses picked up the location of Leon. It was flying in the sky. Clearly, it was waiting for him.

"Okay, Wil. Only 150 Billion HP to go… You can't mess up." Wil slowly swam towards the surface before activating the Dash skill, once again.

Maybe, it's because it was used to his tactics after a continuous battle of over 30 hours, Leon quickly used Wing-Blade and each of its feathers turned into sharp metal.

It glided towards him to counterattack.

Wil wasn't surprised by its actions since it wasn't the first time it happened and he escaped it every time.

He dodged the attack and counterattacked by shooting three arrows at once.

*Wik*Wik*Wik*

The three arrows pierced its upper part of the body, taking our 240 million of HP overall. He shot another three arrows two more times. As none of them landed, Wil returned back to the ocean.

15 hours later;

*Roar* Leon let out a mighty roar in rage, getting aggravated because of Wil's tactics. As its HP constantly decreasing, its rage started increasing but its mach 2.4 speed wasn't a match for Wil's mach 3 during his dash. What can it do other than biting its claws in frustration…

12 hours later;

*Ding! Leon's HP fell below 10%. It is entering its third berserk state. Attacks increase by 100%.

Wil didn't care about the notification and continued to use his guerilla tactics.

By now, he was already too used to Leon's pattern of attack, behavior, Cooldown, everything…

He knew when to attack and when is the perfect moment to retreat, and when to launch the next attack. The only thing that bewildered him as to why Leon only used three skills, Roar, Fireball, and Wing-Blade.

He died many times and fought for several days but never once it used the Call of the King to summon the beasts below its grade. Since Leon can summon the beasts, surely this one can also do so.

Another thing is a level-400 beast should possess another skill. It wasn't used either. He can only speculate that it was toned down a little bit.

Wil really wanted to curse the old man for that. If he wanted to do that, then, he should have limited its speed. If not for its speed, he would have battled it in the skies, instead of using this cowardly tactic. 

"Only 30 billion left to finish the enemy." Wil thought while recovering his stamina underwater.

The spirit of Archangel Seraph is also in high spirits. He was rooting for Wil to finish the Lion as soon as possible and can't wait to bestow some important knowledge onto him, of course along with the reward.

Recovering the stamina to full, once again, he flapped his wings and returned to the sky to shoot arrows at an extreme speed once again.

Its HP was chipped off slowly and steadily… 30 billion became 20 Billion, then, 10 Billion, 8, 5, 4, 3.6, 3.3…

*Swoosh* Three arrows once again struck the Lion. It was already injured heavily everywhere and bleeding. They struck its head.

"80,811,348" "80,811,348" "80,811,348"

Instead of the usual deep purple aura, a black aura started to surround Leon.

Even though he has 8 more seconds to waste, Wil didn't proceed to attack. Instead, he retreated back to the water with maximum speed.

*Ding! Leon's HP fell below 1%. It's entering the final berserk state. Attack, defense, and speed increase by 100%. Damage Reduction increases by 50%.

Just as he quickly closed the notification, Wil saw the Lion was already right before him, obstructing his path.

Wil's heart skipped. "No…" He screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw a blurry claw about to slash him.
