MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

"..."

I couldn\'t believe what I had just witnessed. The top Dark Magician of Mayhem Online just got knocked out after a single arrow hit her.

She didn\'t even have a chance to react before she died.

I looked at the person responsible for this scene. From Diane, shielded by Francis, was currently above a window of the courtroom. A silver coloured bow was in her hand, and her eyes were extremely focused.

The air around her seemed like that of an expert. An expert who had practised her aim thousands of times.

I couldn\'t help but dread the thought of ever making an enemy out of her. Killing a top player in a single hit? Wasn\'t this too broken?

\'Well, I am not one to complain.\'

She was currently my ally, so there was nothing for me to worry about.

"How dare you!"

The king, who was sitting on his throne, stood up in rage, fuming.

"Guards, kill that woma–!"

He commanded before his eyes widened and he fell back on his throne.

"How…W-when?!"

He looked at me with an aghast expression, wondering when or how I got behind him to the point that now two blades were scissoring his neck, threatening to snap his head out of his body even at a slight moment.

—-Thud!

—-Argh!

—-Kuak!

"H-help–!"

Right after that, a massacre started taking place. One by one, the guards that had moved up against Ali started falling down.

—-Roar!

Gomchul roared as he slashed down with his twin axes, butchering the guards surrounding Ali. The guards that tried to sneak up on Gomchul were knocked down by Diane.

"Where do you think you\'re going?"

Ali snorted as he used a wide area-debuff magic, making all the ministers that were trying to run away like insects crouch down in fear.

"Hmph! Fucking kids."

A man who was almost as tall as Gomchul, supposedly one of the ministers, snorted, unaffected by the debuff magic.

"Watch out, that\'s the head general of the Drisica Army."

Elexis shouted at Ali, who was unable to react on time. Even though he tried his best, one of his arms was stabbed right through, making him cry in agony and cancelling his magic.

"Ali!"

Jane ran towards Ali and used magic to stop his bleeding. There was no way for her to completely cure him on the spot.

"What the heck, a bunch of kids dare to invade the castle of Drisica? Has the emperor finally gone senile?"

The head general of the Drisica army laughed like a maniac, as if we meant nothing to him.

"Stay right there, or I\'ll chop the head of your pretty king."

"Y-yes. Madhavan, stop it or I\'ll die. Kuk!"

The king choked as he hurriedly tried to stop the general, named Madhavan. It was a good decision to move to the king first, or else we might end up getting wiped out by a single guy.

[Madhavan]

[Level 232]

What is such a high level guy doing serving under this incompetent king? It was almost a surprise. We had expected the threat of invading a castle to be high, but never in my dreams did I think that such a small kingdom would have someone of 230+ levels.

"Hahaha! Go ahead and chop it off. Saves me the trouble of doing it myself. To think that such a perfect opportunity will come knocking on my doorsteps."

Madhavan laughed crazily, unable to contain his joyous expression.

\'Does he have a screw loose?\'

I wondered and I could hear Prolus clicking his tongue in disdain.

\'What?\'

`Can\'t you even guess such a cliche plot?`

What was he suddenly talking about?

\'The king, all his sons are dead and he was a mere puppet to the devils. Analysing that Madhavan guy\'s words and taking the current situation into account, isn\'t this the perfect situation for—-"

"Rebelling? He\'s trying to overthrow the king?"

I finished Prolus\'s words, amazed at the sudden turn of events.

`Yes. Considering his extremely loud and boisterous laugh, I am sure he wants to take over the kingdom by force.`

Prolus chuckled.

\'What a muscle headed dork.\'

I couldn\'t help but comment. I get that ambition drives a man. But one needs to have ambitions that won\'t hurt him in the long run. With a mortal life like his and a brain the size of a peanut, did he forget that the Drisica kingdom was under the jurisdiction of the Sahhan Empire?

"General Madhavan!"

Elexis, who had her shining sword out of her sheathe, looked at Madhavan with fierce eyes. Since Elexis had worked in the Drisica army, then she might have known Madhavan on a more personal level than us.

"Y-You bitch! How dare you! Good! Good! Come, I\'ll kill you today too and reclaim my title as the best general before I ascend!"

Madhavan shouted, his eyes bloodshot.

`It seems like they didn\'t have the best of relationships.`

Prolus stated the obvious.

"To think you\'d stoop so low. Repent in hell."

Elexis said as she launched her sword at Madhavan, who immediately ducked down and hit Elexis\'s back with the hilt of his sword.

"You\'re nothing more than a bug."

He said, rage building up inside of him as he slashed at the place where Elexis was supposed to have fallen.

"?"

Visible confusion could be seen on Madhavan\'s face before he felt something heavy crushing down on his neck.

He slowly touched the area where he felt the pressure on, and to his surprise, his vision spun around. He could see a neck that didn\'t have a head on it, and just a second later, all the veins and blood vessels started spurting blood crazily.

Even at his end, Madhavan had no idea that what he saw was his own neck, with his head in his own hand, albeit momentarily.

[Your party member, Elexis has levelled up!]

[Elexis is now level 218.]

\'Fuck, I should have put the experience sharing to everyone.\'

I cried in regret. I was worried that everyone would ride on my coattails and I\'ll have to share my precious experience with them. So I made the party with settings where everyone will get all the experience if they killed somebody.

I never knew I would be the one getting carried instead of me carrying them.

"Run! Even the strongest general had died!"

One of the ministers shouted, and instead of running himself, he waited for some others to get triggered by his word and make a run for it.

Just as he had expected, 3 or 4 people actually tried to run, getting slaughtered by Gomchul and Francis in the process.

The one who had caused these people to try and flee was silently sitting with his head looking at the ground, as if he hadn\'t just pushed some people to their deaths.

~~Master, watch out. The king—~~

\'Oh hey, Song! It\'s been such a long while!\'

Song finally woke up after days, was it because I was currently wielding Bloodsong?

~~Master!~~

Hmm?

Why did he sound so agitated though?

My eyes suddenly looked at the king, and I immediately backed off in fear.

The King, who was crying in fear and agony just a moment ago, was suddenly having his brain split open in four pieces. As if a flower had bloomed, just a very ugly one.

Instead of brain materials oozing out of his head, there were thorns growing out on the petals made out of flesh.

—-Uwok!

—-GoHH!

Some of the guards who saw the scenery started throwing up and vomiting, unable to take in the gory details.

The king\'s bones snapped and his muscles ruptured. His skins started twisting and swelling, as he grew bigger and bigger in size. His face was nowhere to be seen, as if the fleshy flower was now his face.

His limbs started growing and growing, turning a grey a in colour as scary claws stretched out of his hands and legs.

—-Khhraaackk!

[The event, Devil\'s advent has been created.]

[The king was planted with a Devil seed, and has now turned into a mindless monster who just knows how to kill any living being on sight.]

[Kill the monster within three hours and gain some random rewards according to your contribution.]

[Failure in killing the monster will result in the massacre of everyone present in an area of one kilometre. This area will turn into a monster zone.]

[Congratulations everyone! You are the first one\'s to trigger a devil\'s advent, a hidden event that stems from the ploy of some evil devils from around the world.]

[Beware, the devil monster is stronger than any ordinary monster!]

—-Kouunngghhh!

The ugly, 4 meter tall king— now a whole new breed of monster, shrieked in a chilling voice.

"What the fuck! Since when did this turn into a horror game!"

[Wretched Spawn - Field Boss]

[Level 260]

[1,334,229/1,334,229]

\'Just, wonderful…\'

I almost shitted my pants seeing the level of the monster. I was more than a hundred levels lower than it.

Making some creepy sounds, the monster turned towards me and opened up his flowery mouth.

—-Kuarrrcccc!

"I get it, I am sorry. I\'ll take my leave."

The shitty thing was, my stealth was still in cooldown. All this happened within 2 minutes after I had cancelled my stealth, and there was still 30 seconds remaining before I could use it again.

The creature, whatever it was, swung its arms towards my face and I crouched down and stabbed Eclipse at its fat belly.

[You have dealt 878 damage to the target!]

\'Well, fuck!\'

The amount of damage done to the monster was smaller than a bean when compared to his total health.

—-Kuoonggg!

The guy flung his hand at my face, and I was thrown 3 metres away from him due to the impact.

[You have lost 4239 HP!]

\'This is so not fair!\'

I attacked him with a legit high class dagger and it barely dealt any damage to him, while I lost more than 10% of my health in a casual slap.
