122 chapter 23

After the fall of the second-floor boss, Leonard decided to head back to the first floor to have a little time off from the fighting that was going on in the front line- until the next boss room was discovered that is.

By taking time off, Leonard means that he went out hunting alone instead of going in with a party, trying to power level himself up as much as possible through using the higher level zone of the lower floor and also farming up some Col.

It's just by chance that he managed to encounter the same group of players that was the "Moonlit Black Cats." he wasn't stalking them or anything at all!

*slash, Leonard slashed his sword at the incoming Dire wolf, the sword sliced the canine monster into two pieces.

"This feel like bullying…" Leonard out a small sigh as he turned his attention toward the distance, where he could roughly make out the appearance of the group of players that was the "Moonlit Black Cats."

From the distance he could see that they were working quite well together in taking down a monster that was much higher level than them, he couldn't help but gave them a thumb up for the teamwork skills.

But abruptly- when Leonard train of thought was interrupted when he saw a group of players sneaking up to the party of friends.

"Hmm?" Leonard's eyebrow raised a little when he saw their cursor.

"Orange players?" he muttered out in a low tone of voice.

"Oh my days couldn't get any better isn't it...here I am struggling on how to complete my bonus objective- and system...you brought the answer right to my door…" Leonard couldn't help to feel quite happy about the turn of event.

"Killing the one that already had the blood of other in their hand is better than finding a way to backstabbing green players isn't it." he thought and sneakily went toward the back of the stalking orange player group.

"Finish it off Sachi!" Tetsuo shouted out to the girl as he and she switched out with one another.

"Yeah!" Sachi quickly switched out with Tetsuo the forward, the process was quite smooth since she had been practicing quite a lot for the past few days and slowly building up her confidence.

*Bash Sachi used her shield and bashed the wolf, staggering it back, then she quickly made a quick stab with her sword through the neck of the creature.

*gurgle! The wolf gurgled before exploded into a million pieces.

"Nice job Sachi!" Ducker ran toward her and gave her a high five.

"It's no big deal guys…" Sachi replied timidly upon receiving the compliments from her friend.

However- the happy mood was short lived as suddenly a dart came flying through the air, its target was none other than Tetsuo.

"Watch out Tetsuo!" Keita shouted out to the forward, however, it was too late.

*Puchi! The dart punctured the shoulder of Tetsuo and a paralysis status effect immediately transferred over to him, making him fall limped onto the ground.

Before long, more darts came flying over and all of them manages to hit all the noobies players, paralyzing them.

"Urghh! What happened?" Sasamaru asked the party leader- Keita.

"We seem to get hit by a type of poisonous dart...just our luck...it seems like we're getting rob today guys…" Keita told them while trying to maintain a pained smile on his face.

"Look like you're a smart one." said a rough and disgusting voice from the direction of where the dart was launched, it was from a patch of tall grasses.

From there a group of five hooded players players in a green cloak stood up from.

"Who are you guys! And what do you want?!" Ducker shouted at the group of cloaked players.

Who was the one that responsible for attacking them?

"A dumb one isn't he?" one of the cloaked players asked Keita upon seeing Ducker outburst toward the group of "highly" dangerous players.

"Just get it over with, we'll give you everything, just leave us alone." Keita glared at the group of orange players.

"Heh, I knew that he was the smart one among the bunch." the leading orange players chuckled as he looked at all the newbies that laid on the grass.

"You see...we're not just going to rob you of your items and money...but we will also rob you of your very life!" another one of the orange cursor players with a green cloak laughed out loud as he sticks out his tongue at the victim that was on the floor.

Upon hearing the orange player shouting out his agenda, the noobies began to-shivered as they finally found the worse that could happen to them.

However Sachi was hit the hardest, as she was the most cowardly among them, out of everyone within the group, she was the only one that afraid of dying the most, she only put up a brave front as she did not want to drag everyone within the group with her into a depression.

It got even worse when one of the orange players noticed Sachi who was hiding in the back of the group with a fearful expression still on her face.

"Hey, boss! Look over there! Isn't she pretty?" he said as he licked his dried lip.

"Leave her out of this you bastard!" Tetsuo roared at the one that attracted all the orange player to the only girl in their group.

"Oh shut it, what the hell can you do anyway? Just stay there patiently and wait to be killed- AFTER we had our fun with the girl of course." the leader of the orange player group grinned as he pulled up Tetsuo by the collar of his shirt.

"GET away from her!" Sasamaru tried to crawl over and bite one of them on the ankle, hoping to delay long enough for the paralysis to broke off on Sachi at least.

"Fuck off." the man who almost had his ankle bitten by Sasamaru kicked him on the face knocking the teenager to the side with a small portion of his health point taken off.

"Sasamaru no!" Ducker cried out after seeing his friend being kicked away like a rag doll.

"Sachi! Try to get away quickly! We'll try to delay these guys for as long as possible!" Keita shouted at the terrified girl.

"Yeah! Just go! We'll be fine!" Ducker struggles to stand up and trying to break free of the paralysis poison.

"B-but-" tears rolled down her beautiful face as she watched her friends struggled to stand up, trying to defend her from being assaulted by the group of players killer.

"You know what? I'm going to give you guys the best scene up close that you guys will ever get the chance of seeing in this life before I send you off, watch as I strip her and force you to watch it all." the leader said with a sadistic grin on his face and he and the other quickly subdued the struggling noobies and pushed them back down to the ground.

While the leader himself went toward Sachi and grab her by the hair and forced her down facing her friend.

"Let get to it!" the leader said as he slowly equipping pieces by pieces in front of them, revealing his ugly face to all to see.

There's was only despair on Sachi face as she witnesses the scene unfolding.

The man laughed crazily as he began grabbing Sachi by the arm.

"NOOO!!!" Sachi screamed out as the tear rolled down her face, she closed her eyes and bit down hard on her lip.

"...." however, there was nothing.

She waited, but the pain and suffering never came, it was then that she opened her eyes and looked up.
