Excalibur's Strength Revealed

The Robe went to Flaming Flower and the Shield went to Athena. She wasn't sure if she wanted to discard her bouche's shield passive but ultimately decided to do so. They were ready to exit the dungeon but Arthur remembered them something.

" Drink any potion you need right now because we're going to fight a lot of players at the same time right now. " said Arthur.

They understood what he meant, it has been nearly 2 hours so that meant that the big guilds would have had enough time to send a lot of players surrounding the dungeon's entrance. They thought that the attack that Arthur used to destroy the horde was his secret attack, but they were wrong, after all { Illuminate The World } was much stronger. The stats on Excalibur didn't change despite having levelled up two times but Arthur simply thought that he would need to do something like leveling 5 times to see a change. And the huge amount of players waiting outside would be a good source of experience for him and the sword. He got level 17 at the end of the Boss fight, so he spent his 9 attributes points before drinking a prana potions. Due to his low intelligence stat, he didn't have a high prana regeneration stat so he had to consumme a lot of prana potions. He didn't hesitate to put 5 points in Intelligence and spent the rest between Wisdom and Agility.

" Are you guys ready ? " askes Arthur.

" I think so " answered Doux.

" By the way, what is your plan exactly to deal with the players, even though we trust you, I still can't help but be nervous. " asked Athena.

At her words, everyone nodded. Arthur decided to share the information of the skill { Illuminate The World } on the party chat.

Their eyes widened at the damage of the ability, sure emptying half of his prana reserve was worth.

" Isn't that the skill you used on the skeletons horde ? It should still be on cooldown right ? " remarked Vita

" No , I killed the skeleton with sword energy, This ability is much more powerful. " said Arthur.

The doubts were cleared in the party's minds. If this ability was stronger than a skill that decimated an entire horde then surely it would easily deal with players.

" Anyway for the plan, I basically need you guys to try and align the players in the front and in the back for maximun efficiency. I don't know the range of this thing so I can only test it out. " said Arthur.

" But..... aligning players is going to be much more difficult than aligning monsters. " said Athena

" I agree, you probably won't be able to hit everyone. " added Doux.

" Well, I just need to hit enough people so that we can finish the rest basically. " said Arthur

" I guess we can do that. ' said Athena, finally totally convinced.

Arthur then left the dungeon with his party and at this moment an announcement was made.

Regional Announcement :Guild Eclipse Is The First Guild To Clear The Dungeon ' Cursed Canyon ' In Hell Mode . Rewarded With 3500 EXP for each player.

It wasn't a global announcement but a regional announcement, although it didn't change anything since every player in the game was in the region.

Once again, the players went into an uproar, this was the first guild to clear a hell mode dungeon, and this guild wasn't even known. The guilds knew that it was Arthur's guild since they were in front of the said dungeon and Arthur was the one to enter it.

Soon the word got out and players couldn't help but think that Arthur was really an expert, he actually got 2 first clears in a row.

While players were starting to try to send messages to Arthur to join his guild. He himself appeared with his team in front of the dungeon entrance. He chuckled at the sight of a literal army waiting for him. They didn't even bother hiding, they were that confident. He was excited at the amount of loot and exp his team could gain.

He saw three men in the front of the players that had a greedy look and a vicious smirk. They were probably guild leaders.

" Arthur, you see I didn't want this to go like this, but you've left me no choice. You've been growing a bit too fast for our backers so we have to cut the weed before it gets out of hand you see. But I'm willing to leave you a chance, if you give us every equipment you have and let us kill you once then we' ll let you go, if not, don't blame us for being impolite. " said the tallest man while laughing.

" Don't worry Arthur, you'll definitly pay for the humiliation you've made my guild go through. " said the man that Arthur recognized being the one that tried to stop him in the streets of Panum.

" Now, now, let's not forget about his friends, I know, if those 3 ladies behind you make a contract with us, then we might be more lenient towards your provocations, what do you think. " said the third man.

Now Arthur was dumbfounded, he just watched three guys use the most cliche sentences for villains. He just couldn't understand how they could fit the role so much.

" Uhm... I'll have to refuse everything you propose. " said Arthur, searching for a cliche hero sentence to go with the mood.

At his words, two of the man had an angry look while the last had a mocking gaze.

" You leave us no choice Arthur, now kill them all! " shouted the tallest man.

Arthur and his party looked at each other for a second before understanding their roles. Vita and Flaming Flower decided to follow Athena since they were going to be the prime targets. But Flaming Flower couldn't resist the sight of players being tightly packed and sent a fireball to the healers in the back and killdd about 10 of them instantly, The 3 guild leaders frowned at the damage of the fire mage but they thought that even with this they couldn't overcome hundreds of players.

When he saw the eneny formation Arthir simply laughed. His party didn't have to do anything they were already aligned like chickens waiting to be slaughtered. He took the perfect angle before activating the skill.

The last thing that the players charging saw was an intense light coming from Arthur's sword before dying. Even Arthur and his party wasn't ready for this. The name of the skiln was really justified as even while the sun was getting down right now in the game,for an instant the sky was as bright as if the sun was there.

The Eclipse guild members also weren't excepting the size of the attack and the destruction that it wouls provoke. It looked like a small part of the forest has been destroyed and the skill actually hit nearly every player. Everyone that was hit died instantly. The party received even more notification than when they destroyed the undead horde and they actually gained 3 levels from this except Arthur that gained only 2. The amount of EXP a player could give depended on the amount of exp he had before leveling up so they realized that most of these players must have been close to the next level.

The only players left were a couple of mages and healers and the tall guild leader. His name was Tyrant Bear and now he looked like anything but a tyrant. Arthur instructed his party to finish the job and theh wiped out the whole group of players. Until the end, Tyrant Bear didn't utter a single word after Arthur used his skill.

What the Eclipse Guild members didn't know was that there was a couple of players hiding in the woods filming the scene and uploading it to the forum. Every player in Panum City saw the flash of Light, so they speculated that maybe it was the start of an event. When they headed towards the location, the only thing they saw was a destroyed forest, Arthur's party was long since gone.

Excalinur gained 4 levels from this and finally the sword's stats changed.
