33 Chapter 33

Zephyr also noticed that many eyes were staring at him. Zephyr used [Vorpal Destruction] clearing the monsters that surrounded him leaving nothing left.

The monsters who were at a distance took a step back as they sensed fear from the attack of Zephyr as they were affected by the fear effect of [Vorpal Destruction] as they were a tier lower than Zephyr. All monsters avoided Zephyr and move to find their next target.

As no monster attacked him, Zephyr just stared at the 10 people who was looking at him at the distance as if he was some sort of a celebrity which was actually what he really is in the eyes of Tensura's players.

Seing that Zephyr did not chase the monsters and became wary of them, Aron spoke on behalf of his team as he didn't want to receive the hostility of Zephyr.

"Hello Mister Zephyr. I am Aron, the Guildmaster of Victorious Prodigies."

Zephyr nodded and didn't reply as he found no reason to. He also doesn't talk much to strangers which became his habit. (reasons for being a loner). Seing Zephyr did not reply, Aron continued.

"I apologize, we doesn't mean any harm or we have any ill will at you. It's just our pleasure to meet the number 1 player in Tensura."

Aron said with outmost sincerity and his companions also nodded in agreement. However Zephyr was confused.

'Number 1?'

He was confused as he had no idea that people saw him as the number 1 player. One of the reason was he doesn't access the Tensura's forum and doesn't communicate to another player.

Then he remembered the numerous system announcement about him and the Star Ranking, Zephyr thought it would make sense if that's the case.

Zephyr then remembered the name Aron which was the 2nd ranked player in the Star Rankings. He then thought that the others was also in Star Rankings but didn't think it would be special as he still had no idea what's the impact of being a Star Ranker.

Seing that Zephyr didn't respond, Aron then concluded that Zephyr wasn't the type to talk to others as he was always alone even fighting countless monsters.

As this wasn't the first time he encountered an introvert, Zephyr's case wasn't new to him at all.

"As a fellow Tensura player, I would like to suggest we cooperate in clearing the.. "

"No need."

Before Aron could finish, Zephyr cut his words in his usual monotone voice. Seing that their purpose in approaching him is to team up, he immediately refuses as he did not like to be with others.

However, even after hearing Zephyr's immediate refusal, none of them were discouraged as they had expected his answer at all.

"Please hear me out before you firmly reject my offer."

Aron politely said as he wasn't bothered by his refusal but tried to be more sincere that they really just want to play with the number 1 player. Zephyr didn't reply as he listened to him as he was a little curious about them.

"First, we will make you the party leader but you don't have to do anything for us. Just continue doing what you have been doing before."

"Second, we will make our distribution of contribution points individual for the party leader as we don't want you to think we only wanted to leach off some contributions."

Zephyr fell into a deep thought as the conditions was in favor in him. He was also starting to get curious about this party system as he never experienced it before.

"I got it."

Zephyr accepted their offer as he want to try how the party system works but still he want to go solo afterwards. Aron then invited Zephyr into their party.

[Player Aron has invited you to their party.]

[You have accepted.]

[You have been set as the Party Leader.]

[Distribution for the contribution points was set individually for the party leader but was set the equal for the party members.]

[Distribution for experience points and others has been set equally.]

Zephyr nodded at the system notifications after satisfying his curiosity. However, the others did not share the same thought as Zephyr due to system notifications that appeared in front of them.

[Your party leader is Zephyr.]

[Sword's Saint Aura is applied. The damage done to the enemy will increase by 30%. The damage of sword related skills will deal double damage. This will last for the duration of the party.]

[Legendary's Archmage Aura is applied. The damage done to the enemy will increase by 30%. The damage of magic related skills will deal double damage. This will last for the duration of the party.]

[As you are recognized as the ally of the master of the Legendary Kyuubi, you are affected by the Kyuubi's Aura.]

[Proportionate to the number of enemies that are within a 150-metre radius, your Offensive Power will increase by a 10% per enemy.]

All their eyes widened after seing the notifications.

'Party Buff?'

As they were rankers, they were able to understand what just happened and stared back at Zephyr. All players were wondering what class he possessed but now they were able to confirm it.

Zephyr was actually in possession of a legendary class and not just one but two legendary combat class. Moreover, he possess two top tier legendary class. Unlike Zephyr, they went to the library to study the background story of the game.

They discovered that according to the history, the Sword Saint was once known as the strongest in humanity who can single handle numerous demons and enemies at once. He was also able to seal off the Demon Kings back to the demon world during the war.

They also discovered that the Legendary Archmage was known as the strongest human magician of all time as no magician has surpassed him at all.

And yet, the strongest swordsman and strongest magician class was in possession of Zephyr all along. Now they thought it made sense that he was able to cast sword skills and magic spells at the same time.

They also once again admired Zephyr as they knew that one had to surpass a trial to obtain a legendary class. They knew it was not easy at all as some of them went to a trial to satisfy the condition in obtaining their hidden classes.

They was satisfied with the party buff and was curious about the legendary kyuubi but did ask Zephyr out of respect for his privacy. Just like what their deal is, they dispersed and Zephyr went solo again.

Aron and the others were now more confident than before after receiving the buff of Zephyr as they started their slaughter to the monsters. Zephyr on the other thought that now it was the time.

"Tetsu."

Tetsuya popped out of the armor hearing Zephyr called his name. He felt an anticipation looking at Zephyr and finally, Zephyr did not broke his expectation.

"You wanted to fight so badly right?"

Kyuh! Kyuh!

Tetsuya proudly answered but to Zephyr, he just made some cute sounds. As Tetsuya was now a Tier 1, Zephyr found no more reasons to forbid Tetsuya in fighting as he was also curious on how a legendary pet would fight.

"Go. I won't stop you any longer."

Zephyr stated which made Tetsuya immediately disappear as he instantly dashed towards the monsters. Zephyr watched Tetsuya as he swapped the sword he held with Frostlight Sword and made the Aetherius Sword float as he controlled it along with Venomous Demon Sword.

As a nine tailed fox, Tetsuya possesses explosive speed as he instantly caught up to a monster and attacked, killing it instantly.

Tetsuya used one of his skill that he could use anytime he wanted. Tetsuya also ran to Aron and others who were not so far and casted his buff spell on Arthur who was tanking the most damage.

[You has received Kyuubi's Blessing.]

[Your strength and vitality will rise by 10% for 5 minutes.]

[Your defense will rise by 10% and restores your health by 10% per second for 5 minutes.]

Arthur was surprised by the sudden notification and glance at the kyuubi who started attacking another monster. The others then noticed that Arthur's HP was rising as he being healed by Tetsuya.

[10% of your total health has been restored.]

"... Percentage heal?"

Arthur muttered as another message appeared after a second passed making his HP back to full after 5 seconds as his HP didn't fell to half at all.

He was also able to tank better as his damage and defense has risen. Zephyr on the other hand thought that Testsuya is an all rounder as he can deal high damage, also has a high speed, buffs and heals.

Tetsuya run wild to the battlefield as he was proving himself to Zephyr afraid he won't be able to fight the next time. Zephyr sighed as he could read Tetsuya's intention and then strike the next monsters killing it instantly even with an epic sword.

His two legendary swords flew around and slashes and strike another monster. Zephyr then also glanced at the contribution rankings as he was now curious of the standings.

[Monster Tide Contribution Ranking]

[1. Zephyr- 18,653 Contribution Points.]

[2.Aron- 7,893.]

[2.Miya - 7,893.]

[...]

[Monsters left: 970,021/1,000,000.]

Zephyr remained leading on the ranking followed by Aron and the others who tied at the 2nd place as they share the same contribution points. Zephyr then glanced at the numbers of the monsters and sighed as he still had a long way to finish the quest.

As most monster were avoiding him, Zephyr has time to be idle. He casually glances at his party members and found their skills weren't bad at all. They coordinated with each other and they were also able to adjust their pace with Tetsuya who was helping them.

As the 4 melee class players uses sword except for the assasins, they benefitted on having double damage on their sword related skills while 30% bonus for the two assasins which was a big help in addition to the aura of Tetsuya.

It was also the same for the ranged dealers as they can now kill instantly a monster with just 1 attack. They were now able to fight more easily than before thanks to the presense of Zephyr.

Big grins were seen on their face as they were now enjoying the slaughter as their levels rose until they reached level 20. Zephyr also finally gain 1 level but he wasn't bothered by it as he accepted that he needed more experience points to gain another level.

Suddenly, all players in the White Tiger City who were fighting monsters heard massive footsteps and then a notification was heard.

[Announcement: The 2nd phase of Monster Tide has begun.]

It was a simple message but it was able to cause despair on the players as they were already having a hard time handling the countless monsters and now a new phase was about to come which means more stronger monsters were going to assault them.

On Zephyr's party on the other hand, big smiles were seen on their faces as none of them were afraid. They were eager to fight another set of mobs to continue grind some experience.

Zephyr wasn't bothered at the notification as he didn't care at all. He just looked at the distance and inspected the new monsters that arrive.

Zephyr looked at the undead legion who had overwhelming number but he wasn't afraid. On contrary he wondered if these piles of bones would entertain him.
