Chapter 1072: Chaos In Fragul's Valley (Part 1/2)



Meanwhile, somewhere in Fragul's Valley...

Shrieeeek!

A creature's cry echoed throughout a certain part of Fragul's Valley. It was a bird-like monster that stood approximately 1.5 meters tall. It had a razor-sharp beak, talons like metal blades, and blue feathers that acted as natural armor against attacks. This monster was known as the Deadly Valley Hawk, a flightless bird-like creature that often roamed Fragul's Valley.

Woosh! Phhhtk!

Name: Deadly Valley Hawk(Elite)

Level: 58

HP: 0/184,890 (0%)

The Deadly Valley Hawk fell to the ground as an axe sliced the creature's head off, causing it to turn into countless particles and leave loot on the ground where it fell.

After the creature's defeat, four individuals hovered over the loot on the ground.

"Heh, I've already gotten used to fighting these birds. Their feathers and beaks are a little annoying, but their intelligence is low. It's easy to take advantage of their simple attack pattern to farm up experience and gain loot." One of the individuals said with a grin.

This individual was a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties. He had dark blue hair, a pair of cyan eyes, and a handsome face that carried with it hints of confidence and arrogance. He wore a full set of light armor equipment that briefly showed a light white aura that encompassed it, revealing its identity as at least rare-ranked equipment.

In the young man's hand was a blue and silver axe that held an intricate design. It was also the weapon he used to cut down the Deadly Valley Hawk and deal the finishing blow to the creature.

This young man went by the player name Feral Blade. More importantly, he was a rising star who had recently been recruited by Broken Exile, one of the most powerful guilds in RML. Feral Blade was accompanied by three other players: Hazard, a middle-aged man in fully plated armor with a serious facial expression; Nighting, a young male magic assassin melee dealer with a headstrong appearance; and I Am Diligent, a youthful girl with a charming aura who was a range supporter.

Unlike Feral Blade, these three were not a part of Broken Exile. Instead, they were part of Broken Exile's subsidiary guild, Shattered.

It was not uncommon for top guilds to have a subsidiary guild where they raised new talents that could potentially move up to the main guild if they performed well enough.

"Y-yes. We will not speak of this to anyone. You can trust us." I Am Diligent chimed in. "Tch... Naive, spoiled brat. Just because his elder brother is one of the Six Stars, he walks around like he owns the place. Who just gives away important information like that without thinking? Does he think that no one dares to compete with Broken Exile? What about Cross Haven? Even Sleeping Gardenia is able to compete with them on even footing now because of their connection with the Mystical Realm Palace. Why did I ever join this cursed guild?" Hazard thought to himself as he hid his annoyance.

Originally, Hazard joined Shattered as a way to prove his skills and get recognized by a top guild. However, after being accepted, it was nothing like he imagined it to be. The inner guild politics, the sucking up to advance, the constant backstabbing-it wasn't what he signed up for. Unfortunately, he still had some time left on the contract he signed with Shattered. Otherwise, he would have already left that guild, which was like being stuck in the mud.

"I overheard you talking about something rather interesting. How about sharing a few more details?" A voice abruptly sounded from in the middle of the group.

"?!"

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden emergence of an unknown voice. What was even more terrifying was the fact that no one was able to notice that person getting so close to

them or react in time!

Swoosh!

After that initial pause and surprise, Nighting was the first to make a move as the dagger in

his hands swept forward at the unknown assailant.

Ding!

Nighting's facial expression turned extremely ugly as his dagger collided with the unknown assailant. Instead of inflicting damage, his entire arm went numb, and he could not stop shaking as the dagger bounced off his target's body. It was like hitting a thick sheet of steel!

"Eh?" Without warning, the world around Nighting turned gray and everything rapidly spun before turning upside down.

Nighting eyes widened in shock as his head had been separated from his body without a

chance to retaliate!

"Nighting!" I Am Diligent cried out in horror.

Too fast! Nighting died before she could even use a single healing or barrier skill. Faster than

she could even blink, his HP went from full to zero!
