Chapter 104 The North Cross Alliance Part Three

(Ricardos PoV)

Seven, eight, nine Youre not really dying this time around, are you? The Genocider asked us as she beheaded my allies a few more times.

Oh, did we surprise you? I told her as she continued her slaughter. Even though her attacks are usually able to one-shot us, were surviving them due to the shared damage. Its a bit weird to put our heads back in place after a beheading though.

And youre using healing skills on your own selves instead of trying to heal your damaged allies I guess youre sharing HP? She totally got us

Well Yeah? I replied honestly. She understood it so clearly, even though this skill hasnt even been shared on the forums yet The longer the fight takes, the less tricks well have available. This is bad.

And yet, even as we tried to sneak attack her from the back while putting distractions from the front, nothing ever seemed to work, she just kept on dodging, blocking, parrying, and attacking us with extremely powerful blows that would surely kill us if our HP wasnt shared.

Or rather, she actually dealt enough damage to kill us all just now, we ended up bursting into flames as soon as our HPs hit 0 simultaneously. We still got up again due to the revival items, but our stock is running low

And even a surprise post-flame-burst attack had no effect on her, she simply used her threads to grab me and throw me away And then, she seemed tired of playing around.

She threw the luggage she was carrying on her back high up in the skies and tied it to the upper part of the ruins of a building with some threads, then started throwing poisonous explosives left and right We started trying to escape it simultaneously due to the hive mind, but there wasnt much that could be done against poisonous gas

Meanwhile, the NPCs started panicking and running away while swearing at the Genocider for involving them in the battle, cant say I blame them.

This is really bad One of my companions commented.

It is indeed Especially because our status are shared right now, so the poison will stack up really quickly on us all, Seems like we have no choice. Our last resort, lets go! I told them.

Alright, well be waiting at the temple! My friend shook my hand and got ready for it. We wont be able to win an endurance battle, so well have to defeat her with an unparalleled speed and a superb firepower that not even her can endure. Its risky, but well have to do it!

<Limit Break: All For One>! We shouted in unison.

Oh? You still had a trump card? She commented as our skill resolved. All of our stats, buffs and debuffs were added to me at once now. My friends HP instantly went to 0, but my stats became incredible The downside being that the HP Decrease from the oath plus the many stacks of poison will make me die in no time Theres no time to waste!

Prepare yourself, Genocider! <Sword Of The Glittering Night>! I shouted as I ran after her and hit her with my skill. It was so fast that even she couldnt block it, and I was able to pierce her chest! Its my win!

Ricardo Ill remember that name. She told me.

Its an honor. I replied To think I would be the first to beat the Genocider! Shes even going to remember her name! Even Hannes took way longer to be remembered!

Alright, now you cant revive anymore. She then told me.

Wait what!? I just noticed that she stole my revival item And then her shortsword passed through my neck, and my vision went dark.

<The Level of your servants has risen>

<You acquired a new Mobility skill>

<You acquired a new Endurance skill>

<New Title: Personified Chaos>

<New Title: Living Pandemic>

Well, that was enjoyable. After checking the notifications from defeating the North Cross Alliance (?) and Ricardo (?), I just relaxed a bit while remembering the battle. It was entertaining to see so many new skills in one fight Oh well, lets get the princess back.

I pulled her down with my threads and carefully landed her on the ground, Alright, youre safe now. I told her, but she seemed to be quite angry, and shaking, and tearing up a bit and Oh? Did she leak it? Shes glaring really hard at me right now Should I get you a change of clothes? She seemed to be even angrier at this question.

Ignoring that though, I decided to leave the place with the princess in toll Wait, arent those knights surrounding us? Since when were they here? And why arent they doing anything? Rather, arent they all trembling right now?

Oh, the camouflage is off No wonder they cant move properly. Though coming to think about it, the princess was still able to glare at me even when Im like this Isnt that pretty impressive? I never met anyone with a higher Raw Karma Value than mine, so I dont really know how it feels, but I think its not easy for NPCs to Oh, right, Karma differences dont affect players, I wouldnt be able to know how it feels anyways.

In any case, I left the region and activated the camouflage again afterwards. And once we got back to the mansion, I logged out.
