Chapter 103 - Heroic Return

Well that was that , the forums had exploded completely , the Elites had completely crushed the opposition with tangible results .

Well Orochimaru was in deep with the Ambani corporation , for his wrong information , he had a lot of heat on himself with the superiors , especially when this was the first ever important information that he relayed back as a spy turned out to be soo wrong.

Orochimaru was left scratching his head as to how did the Elites clear the dungeon when. He saw Rudra and the rest back here at the guild.

However the exitement in the guild gave him his answers , following the announcement , the guild members lined up to welcome back a victorious vice guild master .

Everyone was in high spirits as praises rained down on Karna as he walked through the guild premises , the players were clapping , the wolves were howling , it was a jolly atmosphere , and at the end towards the guild hall , was Rudra with a cheeky smile , clapping towards the returning hero .

Well nobody had more emotions right now than Karna , today , right here in this moment , he finally truly became the vice guild master of the guild.

Although the True Elites were a guild banded with incredibly talented players , everyone here knew that this supercars engine was the guild leader Shakuni.

And although everyone played a role in the current success that the guild has , he as the vice guild master had done nothing to make him standout as a greater contributor to the guild.

Wether it was leadership , or recruiting or getting the members out of a jam , everything was handled by Rudra , and he had became an afterthought in the guild.Although Rudra showed immense confidence in him , and his skills were at par with the standard bere , the truth was he was a special recruitment , and had not gone through the normal procedure , also his status as vice guild master was given to repay a favour that Rudra owed him , not something he earned . Now finally he could hold his head high , as he showed his real worth to the guild, well not just the dungeon clear ..... The loot he brought back was the real winner.

Everyone was exited for that fact , as the guild members swarmed him asking for details on the expedition. Amongst the swarm was also Orochimaru , keen to understand where he went wrong.

Karna smiled at all the enthusiasm but he said " Yes , guys i found the treasure , and yes we earned a lot lot , however before i disclose the contents id need to talk to guild master as to what or what not to censor. The things we got are worthy as being kept as guild secrets ".

" OOOOOOOOOO , And OHHHHHHHH" rained in the crowd as everyone teased Karna for being such a party popper.

Karna did not mind. He was a responsible guy , he would not get carried away despite the situation. However he wanted to show off just a bit hence he said.

" Okay , okay before you guys die with suspense ill tell you how much gold we earned this time around.... ". He paused before saying .

' 2,15,14,600 Gold coins and 10,000 platinum coins '

Silence ! Utter silence , followed by a deafening cheer

' WOAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WE ARE RICH , ALL HAIL VICE GUILD MASTER !!! '.

' POUR THE GOLD '.

' POUR THE GOLD '.

' POUR THE GOLD '.

The chants to pour the gold into a sea of coins started , karna looked at Rudra who nodded , and all the gold coins were taken out of Karna's inventory into the guild premises , making a huge mountain of money .

Cheers were heard again , as some members clicked photos of themselevs swimming in pools of gold.

Even Orochimaru silently clicked pictures to report back to HQ , as this was big big news.

While Karna and Rudra headed inside to talk about what transpired.

Karna briefly explained , how he survived and the tree and the Treasure room. For some reason he did not reveal information about the devil fruit as it was his own gaming secret. Rudra ofcourse knew something was amiss , however he did not pry. The man's honesty was unquestionable , if Karna did not want to say something it was best to not pry.

At last Karna revealed the entire contents of the loot. Which included.

+ 2,15,14,600 Gold coins

+ 10,000 platinum coins

+ 640 Max Hp potions

+ 640 Max Mana potions

+ 640 Max Stamina potions

+ 640 Poison mist potions

+ 1 Blueprint ( Cannon )

+ 1 Blueprint ( pirate armour set )

+ 1 Strawhat ( accesory )

+ 1 Zorro' s mouth sword

+ 1 Grand pirate ship ( currently in a bottle )

+ 1 Skill book ( Mouth wielding )

+ 1 Skill book ( Critical block )

+ 1 Skill book ( Sea of fire )

+ 1 Retractable shield

+ 1 small egg

At the end Karna said. " Also for the first clear of the dungeon i got a special reward of some treasure map piece ...... Take a look ".

Rudra instantly grabbed the map piece. It was the last piece he needed for the treasure location.

[ Treasure map ] ( semi legendary ) (3/3) : The X is where a great treasure is buried.

HE FINALLY HAD IT !!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS KARNA.

Not only that ,Rudra's eyes widened at the loot collection , he only knew about the retractable shield , much of this loot was not made known to the public. Rudra cursed his past life knowledge , not everything he knew was reliable.

Either that or the loot depended on luck , and Karna was damn lucky .

Rudra was tempted to hog the shield and the critical block skill for himself , however he showed restraint and said " Lets add everything exept the small egg that you have bound and the pirate ship , that can become a trump card in future into the guild warehouse , let anyone trade for it with GCP ".

Karna shook his head in denial , coincidentally he took out the retractable shield and the Critical block skill and said " these are for you the rest goes in , i dont wanna hear arguments leader , consider those a gift from me for everything you have done for me , if that doesnt convince you , take it as a reward i wish for for a job well done ".

Rudra was touched , he wanted to hug Karna , but that would ruin his image soo he just banged a fist into Karnas shoulder saying" thanx bro" .

Today he felt like recruiting Karna was the best decision he made . The man was growing more and more into the role he hoped for.

/// There are two possible plot lines from here guys , either we move towards the second system open auction after some chapters or we move towards the treasure map arc. Comment below which one you wanna see first. Irrespective of the choice the second arc will follow , its just a matter of which one you guys wanna see first". ///
