Chapter 638: Vanished
Villain Ch 638. Vanished
Gorroc City, nestled within the vast desert expanse, buzzed with activity as the sun beat down mercilessly on its sandy streets. The city was a hub of excitement and anticipation as players from various guilds gathered, their faces etched with determination and resolve.
High-level players could be seen strategizing and discussing tactics, their voices mingling with the din of the bustling city. Guild leaders huddled together in intense conversations, mapping out battle formations and contingency plans for the impending war.
The atmosphere in Gorroc City was tense, more so than during previous war events. There was a palpable sense of anticipation and apprehension among the players, knowing that the stakes were higher than ever before. Speculation ran rampant about the tactics the Devil Emperor would employ this time, with guild members bracing themselves for the unknown.
Every corner of the city was alive with activity as players prepared themselves mentally and physically for the upcoming battle. They coated their weapons with Unbreakable Tonic and prepared the spell scrolls. Potions were stocked in abundance. The air crackled with anticipation as players readied themselves for the challenges ahead.
Despite the tension, they knew that they were stronger together, and with that, they stood a better chance against whatever the Devil Emperor had in store for them.
Rather than the previous event where players of all levels participated, this time around it was strictly high-level players taking the stage. The reason? Well, there was another epic showdown happening simultaneously at Eyon Village. But the twist was it wasn’t the usual player-versus-the-villains showdown; instead, it was a massive monster onslaught.
At Eyon Village, the monsters took center stage, led by not one, but two boss monsters and a handful of mini-bosses. The whole event was tailor-made for low to mid-level players, giving them a shot at leadership and the chance to flex their combat skills without getting overshadowed by the high level players. It was some kind of a prelude to Gorroc’s great war.
It was a bit unusual to have two major events happening simultaneously, but that was the beauty of virtual reality gaming. There was always something new and unexpected around every corner.
The adrenaline surged, players on both fronts knew one thing for sure: they were in for one heck of a ride. Whether they were facing off against monsters or duking it out with the main villains, this would be a tiring war.
Amidst the bustling crowd of players gearing up for battle, there was a noticeable commotion near the city gate. It was like a scene of an idol just coming out of a concert, with all eyes fixated on a single figure in the center of the crowd. But this time, it wasn’t the usual star healer, Sophia, stealing the spotlight. No, it was none other than Father^Alex himself.
Yes, Father^Alex had become somewhat of a celebrity in Hell’s Gate ever since the devil emperor took him out in the last ambush. His death experience had sparked a frenzy of discussion on gaming forums, and now, whenever he logged on, it was like all eyes were on him.
Normally, Red_King and Mastercraft would swoop in to fend off the eager crowd. But this time, they were tied up with their own preparations, leaving Father^Alex to fend for himself against the throng of curious players.
The crowd closed in around him like moths to a flame, Father^Alex couldn’t help but feel a tad nervous. Sure, he was used to the attention by now, but there was something about being the center of everyone’s gaze that still made him uneasy.
With a sheepish smile, he tried to navigate his way through the crowd, his eyes darting around nervously as players clamored for his attention. Some were eager to ask him about his encounter with the devil emperor, while others simply wanted to snap a selfie with him.
Despite the overwhelming attention, Father^Alex remained remarkably composed, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the chaotic scene unfolding around him. Deep down, though, he couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at him. After all, being thrust into the spotlight wasn’t exactly his idea of a good time. But such was the price of fame in virtual reality gaming.
And as Father^Alex braced himself for another round of questioning and adoration, he couldn’t help but wonder if he’d ever get used to the spotlight.
"Do you think the devil emperor will target you again this time?" the player asked, his voice tinged with curiosity and a hint of concern.
Father^Alex shifted uncomfortably, his mind racing as he considered the possibility. "I don’t know about that," he replied honestly, a sheepish smile playing on his lips. The truth was, he didn’t want to dwell on the idea of becoming the devil emperor’s next target. After all, he’d had his fair share of close calls already.
But the questions didn’t stop there. Another player jumped in, eager to probe further into Father^Alex’s connections with Allen’s guild.
"Have you heard anything from the Shadow Syndicate guild? Or have you tried finding out more about this from Godlike?" they asked, referencing Allen’s past in-game persona, "Godlike," rather than his current one, Al.
Father^Alex sighed, shaking his head slightly. "Unfortunately not yet," he admitted. The truth was, he’d been eager to speak with Allen again, and he knew Red_King and Mastercraft felt the same. There were still unanswered questions lingering from the previous incident, and they were all eager to get to the bottom of things. Father^Alex couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration.
Despite their best efforts, they hadn’t been able to track down Allen or any other members of the Shadow Syndicate guild since the incident. It seemed as though they had vanished into thin air. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
In the gaming forum, Allen had stated that he was not interested in joining the Celestial Vanguard guild and the Shadow Syndicate guild did not seem interested in recruiting new members, so Red_King intended to invite the Shadow Syndicate guild to make an alliance with his guild.
