When Akiko found the library, it was in such a terrible shape that he didn’t think that the Amazonian would still be around., However, she did find something else that was worth the trip.
Black eggs!
Already, the Death Princess could sense the hostility coming from the library that looked like its walls were barely holding together. If it wasn’t for the game logic to defy complete structural annihilation, the library would have been blown to smithereens. Capturing one was difficult. Zen might not be able to get more than five eggs even if Akiko was collecting them. Walking into the black egg lair was akin to running across a minefield.
However, disarming the black eggs before they exploded was worse than running through a minefield. It was like running through a minefield with a bomb on her neck. Akiko’s training covered many things. Bomb diffusing was something she learned, but that was very different from diffusing an exploding egg.
When in doubt, t
After receiving Oritha’s advice, Akiko studied the library. These black eggs had an explosive radius of five metres. It would not be difficult to avoid one explosion but the chain reaction of dodging them wrongly would be catastrophic even if the building was protected by game logic.This was a very tricky situation, so the Death Princess tried to enter the library as carefully as possible. The first step was alright. The eggs did not immediately explode when she stepped on the floor tile.Then, Akiko took a look at the black eggs trembling with anticipation. Some of them further in the back and upper floor of the library did not react, but those closest to her started to move. They slowly switched position and stilled as if waiting for her to take her next step.Akiko did not understand what this meant. Although they had Zen’s overview of the event situation and understood what must be done to win this game without having to kill anyone, this
Oritha did not give a fuck. Whatever her shitty guild and party members were telling her to do, she thought it was dumb. There was no need to run around killing people when they could win by securing the flags. That was the only reason she came to the library, even if she wasn’t a fan of books.Now that the Death Princess wanted to try, she would let her. Besides, these eggs were good. The rumours about Guild Survivor getting their hands on a very talented rookie who excelled in the kitchen made her envious. She had enough of these idiots in Guild Carnage. They don’t even feed her properly, and if it wasn’t for the agreement she had with Felix to support someone with true blood for future survival, she would have left.As the Amazonian made her way to the cafeteria base, she sensed bloodlust from her right and reacted swiftly.The collision made her growl. This opponent wasn’t easy to handle, and Oritha put some distance between them.
At the height of the event just ten minutes before the basilisk spawned, Guild Carnage received a very shocking announcement from the Amazonian.“What the fuck? That bitch!” Johan swore and threw a stick of dynamite that exploded in the distance. He was so mad that he couldn’t stop despite knowing that he was wasting valuable resources.Felix, who was crouching beside him in the laundromat, growled. “That glutton… she’s so dead the next time we see her.”That was a promise.Now that they did not have enough party members, Johan and Felix were no longer part of the Party Death. Thankfully, they still had more than five people, so Guild Carnage did not disband. However, things only started going south after Ortha’s departure.The initial plan to lay in an ambush while the Seer blindly chased after their trail was now disrupted when the other scrubs in their guild reported back that they were now
When Oritha parted with Liu Feng and told him where the two no good rats were hiding, the Seer quickly excused himself with an air of sharpness around him. Although the Amazonian knew that Johan and Felix were capable in battle, she still wondered how badly injured they would end up with the Seer motivated enough to want to smash their bones into powder.Either way, that was a show she could probably ask about or buy in the game highlights after the event ended. Now, the Amazonian had a mission to join the Godly Food party.Liu Feng did Oritha a favour by informing Zen about the unexpected guest. As long as he could feed her something nice, the Amazonian joining them would be a great addition of talent. Besides, he could not see anyone loyal to food as an enemy. In due time, Oritha would prove to be one of their strongest allies. The woman might not be the smartest but she was undoubtedly one of the strongest in combat. Not even he could win against her when it came to
There were only a few more minutes before the Basilisk spawned, but already, the partners in crime hiding it out in the laundromat received their second round of bad news.Party Undead was completely wiped out, and Guild Carnage was disbanded from the lack of members.“Fuck!” Johan hissed and was about to toss another stick of dynamite when Felix stopped him.“Get angry later,” he told the terrorist. “A monster has arrived. I’ll leave him to you.”Before the sneaky mafia leader could escape, Liu Feng sent him flying with an open palm strike from the left. Instead of entering through the door like a normal person, the Seer used stealth and shadow steps to confuse his enemies before launching a surprise attack.Johan cursed as he watched his partner get flung into a dryer. The metal dented, and even if Felix was sturdier than most people, he would have suffered a few cracked bones from that. The Seer’s
After conquering the dojo and successfully executing their revenge mission, Party Freedom received a message from the guild leader requesting for runners to help her collect black eggs. Naturally, they took as many bags as they could from the dojo storage and ran to the library as fast as they could.However, when it rains, it pours. Nobody expected the system announcement to inform them of the boss monster’s awakening in the games room. The spawning location was not far from the library. In fact, it was just downstairs. Talk about perfect timing…Akiko did not know what to do with these black eggs that wouldn’t break open even when dropped. They were as heavy as grenades and were a pain to carry. After activating that device, all the black eggs deactivated and were now free to carry away.She tried opening one, but it would not budge. These eggs were sturdy, and the Death Princess wondered if Zen would be able to manage if she was struggling
Zen looked at all his prepped ingredients. With so many people helping out in the kitchen, Zen wanted as few eyes as possible when he crafted his Rainbow Egg. Hence, he told those who were not in his party to go for egg runs.“From now on, any eggs you collect, you can submit. All the submission areas belong to Guild Survivor, except for the library where the basilisk is. Do your best to survive the purge. Help yourselves to any healing or stamina recovery egg dishes on the table.”The moment Zen told them the eggs were free to be distributed, there was a mad rush among the newly joined guild members. Some didn’t even look at Zen as they jostled for eggs while the more polite ones thanked the cook before leaving to secure points.Sasha took a mental note of the ones who were rude. They were going to remain as runners within the guild forever. Liu Feng would also be happy to know those names. They wouldn’t be invited to any guild meetings.
Zen made many batches of Rainbow Eggs. He gave two to Oritha and two to Sasha, who would deliver them to the two other party members. Akiko was busy stalling the basilisk, but she had terrible news to share. Tracer was now petrified, and while he was still ‘alive’ in the guild, the teen was now a rock. Just a little smash, and he would die.Zen became more frantic as Akiko reported a mission failure to keep the basilisk busy. While the plan to weaken the basilisk worked, Johan enraged the basilisk into madness and was now dying slowly somewhere after the basilisk’s powerful headbutt. Nobody cared about him, but without that nuisance to keep the basilisk busy, the boss monster changed its target.“It’s my fault,” Akiko reported the party chat. “Tracer saved me, but he’s under a petrification curse now. We’re retreating, but the basilisk is badly hurt now.”Zen listened to the Death Princess and reassured
