Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Snatching the Boss, Aron in Despair



"Oh?" John gazed intently at Sini.

His first thought was that this could be a trap set by Aron, or perhaps Sini was trying to use him against Aron.

The latter seemed more likely.

Sini had always wanted to escape Aron's control, and even kill him,

but the slave contract bound her to Aron's commands.

John became interested and asked, "Tell me more."

Sini, unaware of John's inner thoughts, explained, "The Wind and Cloud Guild found a Level 10 elite boss, Earth Armed Bear, in the wild. They're organizing their members to kill it. Should we take advantage of the situation?"

Earth Armed Bear?

John was surprised. Aron's luck was extraordinary.

In the previous life, it was not the Wind and Cloud Guild but another guild, the Overlord Guild, that discovered and killed the Earth Armed Bear boss.

However, the Overlord Guild was later absorbed by Aron.

John remembered that the Earth Armed Bear guarded the path from the beginner village to the Level 1 city. The first kill would grant attribute points and drop a hidden dungeon scroll.

These rewards must not fall into Aron's hands, especially the hidden dungeon scroll.

John looked at Sini and said, "Take me there."

"Okay." Sini opened the map, identified the coordinates, and headed towards the Earth Armed Bear boss.

...

In another part of the forest, overgrown with wild grass, an ancient path lay hidden.

Bang, bang...

The sounds of battle echoed through the area.

Hundreds of players were besieging a black giant bear.

The bear stood upright, towering over four meters tall, with a massive frame. Each swing of its giant paws took down two to three players at a time.

The knights at the forefront were terrified. This colossal creature was beyond their capability to handle.

Aron stood at the rear of the crowd, his expression indifferent, and shouted, "No one retreats! Anyone who dies will be compensated with ten thousand dollar!"

With such a reward, everyone seemed to be fueled with adrenaline, recklessly charging at the bear despite the danger.

Next to Aron was a burly man dressed as a warrior. Watching the white flashes of death in the battlefield, he frowned and said, "Brother Unrivaled, isn't this too cruel? The players now aren't strong enough to deal with this giant bear."

The man was the leader of the Overlord Guild, Overlord.

He was the one who discovered the hidden boss and, lacking the strength to take it down, sold the information to the Wind and Cloud Guild.

Aron glanced at him and replied indifferently, "Great achievements require sacrifice. Besides, these people aren't really dying."

Overlord frowned, disagreeing with Aron's philosophy.

While in-game death wasn't real, it still inflicted significant mental harm.

No one could guarantee that frequent in-game deaths wouldn't affect real-life mental health.

The Earth Armed Bear had already been sold to the Wind and Cloud Guild, so Overlord held his tongue and continued observing the battle.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Earth Armed Bear slammed the ground, causing spikes of earth to surge up, engulfing the archers and mage squads in the rear.

Screams echoed, and white lights flashed as a dozen ranged players were instantly killed.

Aron's face darkened; the ranged players were the main attackers and couldn't afford heavy casualties.

Seeing the Earth Armed Bear preparing another attack, he quickly ordered, "Mages, archers, spread out! Knights and warriors, get up front and don't give the Earth Armed Bear any chance to use its skills."

The knights and warriors fearlessly charged forward, managing to temporarily suppress the Earth Armed Bear.

Arrows rained down and spells whizzed through the air, striking the massive bear.

Most attacks couldn't even penetrate its defenses, dealing only 1 point of forced damage.

However, with hundreds of people attacking simultaneously, the cumulative damage was still significant.

The Earth Armed Bear's 2000 health points had been halved after several rounds of attacks.

A wind blade swiftly caught up with him.

Godslayer had a second skill!?

Aron's eyes widened in fear and despair.

The wind blade was only 0.1 seconds faster than his spear, striking the Earth Armed Bear.

[Novice Village Announcement: Player Godslayer has slain the hidden boss Earth Armed Bear in Novice Village, opening the passage to Jade City. Reward: 10 free attribute points, 1 skill

point.]

[Players can leave Novice Village and proceed to Jade City for job advancement after reaching

level 10.]

The village announcement echoed.

"No!" Aron roared in despair and fury, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at John. "Godslayer, I'll

tear you to pieces..."

Boom!

A fireball hit him, and his voice was abruptly cut off as he was instantly killed.

"He killed our guild leader!"

"Get him! Avenge the boss!"

...

The Wind and Cloud Guild members cursed and charged at John.

He sneered, casting Fire Rain, and a wave of white lights flashed as the weak players were

instantly killed.

Amid the chaos, a graceful figure appeared, leaving trails of white lights in her wake.

It was Sini.

She slaughtered the Wind and Cloud Guild players without hesitation, seeing it as an opportunity to earn Godslayer's trust.

In just a few minutes, the remaining hundred-plus players of the Wind and Cloud Guild were slaughtered by the two individuals.

Only Overlord, the leader of the Overlord Guild, had the presence of mind to flee immediately.

The money from selling the boss was already in his account, so there was no need to risk his

life for Aron.

...

Novice Village resurrection point.

Aron's face was as dark as night, his chest heaving, eyes burning with rage.

"Cough!"

Overwhelmed with anger, Aron spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Young master?" Matt was startled, quickly supporting the staggering Aron.

Aron steadied himself with difficulty, his voice trembling as he asked, "Matt, how much did

we lose this time?"

Matt remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "At least seventy million..."

"Seventy million!" Aron's face turned pale, his teeth gritted.

He knew the losses extended far beyond the monetary value.

Two consecutive devastating blows had left the Wind and Cloud Guild in disarray, making it

nearly impossible to reorganize.

Taking a deep breath to quell his fury, Aron coldly commanded, "Order Sini. She has two days

-just two days-to get Godslayer's real information, or she'll lose her freedom forever!"

With that, he logged off abruptly.
