After 50 minutes of excursion. They have finally arrived in the cavern where the raid boss resided. Most of the players of this clan were level 60. But the guild leader, and 2 other including Brandon were level 70.
Noah was obviously not bothered by this. As they walked inside the cavern. Monsters started appearing, they were dire shadow wolve's and some shadow golems.
The clan started dispatching them, as the mages and priests provided them with support by buffing them with spells and using spells to cover their back. Noah being one of them. Akane was in the back healing the injuries. Noah was conjuring tier 7 spells to attack the golems and the dire wolves.
If Noah wanted, he can kill al of them here with just an AOE spell. But no, he wanted their raid to be success. Once they succeeded in Killing the raid boss. He'll then kill each of them until they dropped all of their items.
" Noah, Don't you think it's time ?" Akane asked in whispers, as they walked side by side. For some reasons, Akane hasn't let go of his hand, as if afraid of him leaving her again. And Noah was instead confused about why she was not letting his hands go. Was it because he looked jealous or angry ? He knew that avatars couldn't portray emotions, not to mention his mask. Was that him leaving to get Potions that unrealistic. Noah thought about all this in a second before replying.
" Not yet... " Noah said, as he tightly held Akane's hand and continued. " Let them kill the boss, once they start rejoicing about their loot its then that i will pk them."
Akane felt her brother was getting way too devious but she can't help but fall even more in love with him. Even if he was devious for her, he was deviously beautiful.
She nodded with a new found vigour, as she lifted her golden paladin sword and started using physical attacks to destroy the monsters, so they can defeat the boss sooner.
After fighting for 30 more minutes. The boss finally appeared.
It was a 20 metres tall cyclops looking golem with 3 wolf heads behind it for long range magical attacks.
It was really creepy and weird looking. Like a chimera but more deranged.
The team Hurriedly drank health recovery Potions and mana Potions to recovery their MP and HP before fighting the boss.
The Cyclops chimera was a level 75 boss. It was probably one of the most powerful boss in the game for now.
" Mages, start casting spells! " The clan leader shouted, as he bring his sheild to block the attack form 3 wolf heads behind cyclops back, as it moved at the same time to attack the other members of the clan..
The clan members that were standing, retracted their swords from their sheathes and started using their skills, stacking damage on the boss.
The bar was filled to the brim with small percentage of it getting drained every second.
Noah was also obviously using his magic along with Akane.
Noah thinking this might take a while decided to help them a little.
" Guy's, I'll cast some support spells, so get behind the Cyclops. " Noah shouted at the group that were attacking the head of the Cyclops, while it's other half was damaging and trying to kill the two tanks of the group. Who were trying to negate damage but were still unable to due to the boss's skill.
" [Widen Magic: Haste] [Heal wound] [Recovery] [Word of Power] [Word of Speed ] [Word of Health] [Higher Strength] [Higher Speed] [Higher Health]" Noah casted one after another supporting spells. The clan members started feeling the affect and increase in their stats and started chomping down on the Cyclops.
Noah didn't throw any spells anymore. And acted like he didn't had any mana and was beside his sister, who was beating the small mobs, that were trying to get close to her brother, even though she knew, he can defeat any boss easily. She still played her role perfectly, not to mention that she enjoyed being of use to Noah, which always made her happy.
After a battle of 16 minutes, the boss was finally defeated. Then a long animation played in the back, the clanmates got together as they started talking to each other, waiting for the long animation to end.
"This cyclops was way tough then i expected. " Brandon said, arriving near Akane for some reasons, which Noah obviously noticed.
" Yeah, i think it was a little too strong for a boss Monster." The Clan master, who was nearby heard Brandon and replied.
"But you know thanks to Ange San, we were able to get by easily and her brother. If not for them we would've had an hard time. " Brandon said.
"Yes! Noah San is amazing! He was able to cast so many [Widen Magic] spells. He is like the best supporting mage!" The blonde priestess, Nami, who appeared out of nowhere exclaimed, looking at Noah with shining eyes, as if he was a celebrity.
" Yeah.. I'll have to say thanks to Noah, and Ange san. " The clan leader Said, as he looked at Noah who was beside Akane.
Just as they were talking about Noah and Akane. A mischevious emoji appeared beside Noah, as Akane moved behind him. Anticipating the obvious, that was about to follow.
" It indeed was a challenge. " Noah said in a voice louder then before, that almost came out as a shout. He purposefully did that to get their attention. Hearing him, they felt weird. The priestess Nami, looked at Noah worriedly for some reason, because she saw him removing one of his rings.
All of them looked at him stupidly. Excluding Nami, who was confused about why Noah shouted before.
" Noah, why ar-" the clan leader was about to say something, but his figure vanished and disintegrated into light particles, as an [Ice Lance] pierced through him, without any resistance at all.
No one heard anyone chanting. No one heard anything and clan leader was dead. Noah was in front of him with a smile emoji floating beside him, Like a mischevious child.
" What happened ?" One of the mage girls asked, confused at the sudden death of the clan master.
Noah looked at her and the next moment.
[You lost–65 HP]
[You died]
What? The girl thought before she was logged out. She didn't knew what happened as the last thing she noticed was the magician guy, named Noah, looking at her.
" Noah, What was that!?" Brandon asked, when the mage girl was pierced by a similar [Ice Lance], taking a step back, the other members of the clans did same. But Nami, however, instead moved closer to him, beside Akane. Noah obviously noticed this. However, he decided to ignore her. He was going to kill her at the beginning, but he felt her gacha items were earned from her own hard earned money. And losing her items might make her go into depression. He had come to like the girl, not In a romantic way obviously. He thinks he can get along well with her, as gacha friends obviously.
" What the fuck did you do ? you bastard!?" One of the clan members asked shouting. It was the girl with two swords.
" Hahah..." Noah laughed to their demise, he was truly enjoying himself. Hearing their panicked voices was really music to his ears right now.
Not being able to take the laugh, the sword girl approached Noah with both her sword in her hands, but just as she was about to attack Noah, she was attacked by Akane, who was secretly buffed by Noah.
One strike is all it took for Akane to make the sword girl fly towards the place, where the boss Monster had died
[You lost –57 HP]
Only a little bit of her HP was left, the girl looked at Akane in shock. She knew that Akane didn't had this much Physical Attack and was more an all rounder, being a paladin.
"Well.. let's end this farce shall we ."Noah said taking a step towards the group of players that were looking at him warily.
" Hey hey! what are you doing!? Noah Kun!" The guy Brandon, shouted, as he moved closer towards his clan members. His hands were making signs, towards the clan members and understanding his signs, they got into a formation.
"Well.. I'll deal with you in the last." Noah said in a threatening tone, Making Brandon gulp his nonexistent saliva.
Noah looked at the clan members, that were looking at him with hate. Even through their avatar looked stoic, their voice and chattering was evidence of their hate. They didn't understood how Noah killed the two players, but they had confident in taking Noah and Akane, if it's just the two of them. Their assumption was that, he used an spell crystal to kill the clan leader. They knew that spell crystals were very rare but it was plausible to get them through many gachas.
Noah, however, to their demise, didn't said anything but casted a spell instead loud and clear for them to hear..
"[Mass Hold Species] "
As soon as Noah casted the spell, all the people excluding Noah, Akane and Nami who was right beside Akane for some reason, were unable to move. They were planning to attack him, but here they were trapped like rats.
Noah looked at the direction of the group of players and casted another spell to finish them off.
"[Triplet Maximize Magic : Thousand Bone Lance]"
A barrage of more then ten thousand lances made of bones appeared and shot towards the group, instantly showering them with death as their HP depleted untill it was 0 and they were dead.
Some didn't even got the chance to properly function what was happening, before they saw the notification of their death. However, one thing was same for everyone that died. They wondered. How was he able to kill all of them with just a single spell ? They were unable to understand it. There was no way a single level 70 can solo kill 10 level 60, with some level 70 players mixed in their.
Although, Noah wanted to kill them one by one, using his new sword but he decided to not do it. Because he was not in the mood to do so right now.
"Now let's play with you, shall we." Noah looked at the last guy, Brandon, who was shivering. He was one of the beta players and he has invested a lot of time into his character. Playing almost everyday for more then 3 hours. This was one of the reasons why he was level 70. And here he was, on the verge of losing one of his best items and his 5 levels, that he so gruellingly grinded up wasting hour's Killing mobs and diving into countless dungeons.
"Please! please! Are you really going to kill me ? Dude, leveling up after 60 gets really hard don't fuck with me please." Brandon begged, he was already removed from the spell [Mass Hold Species].
"No, don't worry. You will have an easy time leveling up. Because I'll be making sure that you get to level 1."
Hearing Noah's words, Brandon felt baffled and shocked.
" But why ? What did i do ? "
To his reply, Noah just held Akane's hand.
" Trying to flirt with my sister ? Do you really think, I'll let you go without any repercussions?" Noah said as a devilish smile emoji appeared beside him.. it might sound cringe to others, but at the moment of peril to Brandon, it looked like he really saw a demon.
He felt baffled over getting killed by another player for something as stupid as flirting with his sister. He was stupefied.
Noah then took out a sword from his inventory, A very beautiful golden sword and slashed at Brandon, Making his HP go down to zero, despite him only casually swinging the sword.
Brandon's Avatar vanished into thin air, turning into light particles.
" Stay here, Akane nee, I'll go and have some fun." Noah said, before he disappeared casting teleportation chasing after the guy, Brandon. Noah had a skill that'll let him know where the guy spawns next. He was planning to really make the pitiful guy's level to plumet to 1 today.
Nami, who was somehow saved from the mass genocide of players, looked at Akane, fearing for her own safety. She was currently holding her dear staff that, she crafted with utmost love and care like a mother holding her child. Afraid of getting killed and losing it.
" Uhm.. C-can you please let me go!? I really don't want to lose my Staff please!?!"
Akane who was in a daze looking at the spot where Noah vanished looked at Nami, who she vaguely remember Noah having a conversation with. She was only paying attention to Noah's words, when she was listening on their conversation, so, she didn't knew much about this girl.
" Go, I'm not Noah, I don't want to get racial penalty, anyway. " Akane said before, she also vanished casting the teleportion spell.
Nami sighed in relief as her knees gave up.
" That was really scary... But Noah San really is.." Nami thought about Noah's way of talking at the last moment before he left. It was like a villain right out of a third grade anime. But...
" He was so cool!" Nami said as a nonexistent blush formed on her cheeks.
"Thank god, i added him to my friend list. Atleast, i will be able to talk to him again. " Nami felt relieved at having taken the chance of becoming Noah's friend. She would've regreted it for an eternity, if she didn't.
....
After teleporting away from the cavern, Akane appeared outside the city near a large tree.
Akane felt that her trick to make Noah jealous worked, but she felt guilty. Guilty for making Noah feel those emotions, she wanted Noah to like her, but she didn't wanted to make him this jealous. But just seeing him being so possesive makes her fall even deeper into the already bottomless ocean of love.
Akane sighed in her heart, already longing for his presence. She knew that it will take him atleast an hour before he arrived back. In the meanwhile, Akane decided to just wait for him at their Usual spot.
