Why did things turn out this way?
The advisor of the Duke of York didn't expect this to happen.
He brought a hundred Knights in a bid to humiliate and incite the gamers to fight them. But he didn't expect them to surrender.
He didn't know that Hoodlum was a precedent. The other gamers wanted to become slave warriors so that their Weapon Levels could increase by leaps and bounds!
Hoodlum, who had a deformed body, was able to reach Weapon Level 10. If the other gamers were to become slave warriors, they would be at Weapon Level 20. That was what the gamers thought.
They stripped the advisor and the Knights of their clothing and equipment. After an appraisal of the loot, they conducted an auction. Though the prices were good, the most expensive items were the Warhorses.
Compared to equipment, the gamers were more interested in the Warhorses.
After that, they asked the advisor and the Knights to bring them back to the Castle of the Duke of York. They were willing to be slave warriors, especially Hoodlum, who begged to go back. He said that he had a good foundation and experience and that he didn't want to miss the tournament that he had registered for. Otherwise, he would regret it for his entire life. He swore allegiance to the Duke of York, and he was even willing to wash his clothes for the whole night.
Would the advisor believe it? If they captured Hoodlum and he begged, then they would just laugh it off and think that Hoodlum would do anything to live.
But now, the advisor was surrounded by the gamers. He only wanted to live.
Should he accede to their requests and bring thousands of armed gamers back to the Castle of the Duke of York? And tell the Duke of York that they volunteered to become slave warriors? Including the escaped Hoodlum, who had suffered vicious beatings and was on the verge of death numerous times. And now he begged to come back? Why? Was he that loyal to the Duke of York?
The advisor was afraid that he would be stabbed to death by the Duke of York before he finished speaking. As for the gamers, they would be shot like hedgehogs at the base of the Castle.
However, if he didn't accede to their requests, he would be beaten to death by these crazy gamers.
The advisor sighed. Life was too difficult for him.
Lancelot discovered the incident and reported it to Lilo. After, the three Hamsters came over to handle the situation.
The three Hamsters brought Duchess Lilo's order.
"You may all go and inform your kitten Duke that our Victoria City won't be intimidated. Even if the Duke were to apologize, it would be too late!"
"If you are sincere about apologizing, we'll take a look at the generosity of your gifts before deciding whether to accept!"
"Do you have food?"
The three Hamsters released the advisor and the Knights after stating the conditions.
As for the equipment and the horses, they were distributed to a small group of lucky gamers. How could they return the equipment and horses?
The nightmarish experience ended. The advisor felt depressed after seeing everyone in their briefs, but he believed that they had accomplished their task. Anyway, they had to find horses to return...
...
The Fire Giant lifted his arm and smashed his flaming fist at the dense crowd.
"Flaming Fist is coming! Dodge!"
"Gosh! Don't give strange names to the attacks of the BOSS!"
"Don't block the way!"
In the chaos, the fist smashed down and ended the lives of tens of gamers.
The other attacks of the gamers continued.
After being weakened by Brainiac's Mana Formation, the fire on the Fire Giant wasn't as strong. At least the gamers were able to get close and attack him without being toasted to death.
NotWearingPants held his Shield and evaded the Fire Giant's huge fist. If the fist had landed closer by a few meters, NotWearingPants would have bitten the dust.
His skin melted into the Shield due to the high temperature, but he wasn't affected by the injury. Raintea lifted her tree branch Magic Wand and used her White Healing Mana Skills to heal as many gamers as possible.
"Is Arthur here yet?" BurningChestHair asked while NotWearingPants was thinking of changing the direction of his attack.
"Why would he come? He's the only one who can develop Cherry's Plot. He obtained the map, and the tunnel behind the BOSS was marked on the map, meaning that Winterfell's cargo is most likely stored over there. But the truth isn't out yet, so he has to help Cherry with his investigation, " NotWearingPants replied as he ran while looking out for the Fire Giant's next attack.
The gamers were inflicting damage on the Fire Giant, whether it was ranged or close combat. The Sacred Light was very effective against the Fire Giant.
A Sacred Knight climbed on a rock wall and shouted, "Happy new semester!" Bathed in the Sacred Light, the Sacred Knight smashed his Hammer on the Fire Giant's head and caused fiery sparks. The gamers exclaimed in shock.
The Sacred Knight almost died from the fiery sparks that landed on his body after he lost the protection of the Sacred Light.
The Gnome Sacred Knight managed to hammer the Fire Giant until he was walking unsteadily and wailing in pain. The gamers were feeling jealous of such power and felt the positive energy that the game was promoting—learn diligently, and they could have everything.
The Power of Sacred Light was extremely effective against Elemental Monsters.
There were few Sacred Knights. Among the gamers, many of them disliked learning and weren't suited to be Sacred Knights. Even after being tutored, they could only use the knowledge for logging wood. They couldn't pass the Sacred Knight exam.
Besides gamers who climbed walls to jump on the BOSS, there were gamers who attacked him with Bladder Bombs. The bombs would detonate due to the high temperature, so they were very convenient.
It wasn't clear whether the explosion regenerated or diminished the energy of the BOSS.
After tens of minutes of battle, the gamers couldn't defeat the BOSS. That was... until Brainiac arranged for the gamers to push a Magic Cannon inside the cave.
The Magic Cannon was charged and aimed at the Fire Giant.
"Open fire!"
It wasn't known who gave the command, but the Magic Cannon fired at the Fire Giant. The Mana infused shell smashed into the Fire Giant's body. The explosion of the shell extinguished the flames on the Fire Giant and shook the entire cave. The gamers were worried that the cave would collapse.
The quaking stopped after a while. After losing its flames, the Fire Giant was left with a black rock body that slowly disintegrated, creating a large dust storm.
"Has it ended, meow?" Polio asked as he walked gracefully to Brainiac's side. The dust pervaded the cave and engulfed the gamers.
"It seems like it has ended."
Brainiac nodded as he cleared the Fire Giant, who was blocking the way. He had completed the task assigned by Sherlock.
Eggface flapped his wings and dragged his fat body up a rock pile. Though he wanted to extend his wings to fly, he wasn't successful even after trying for a long time.
Eggface looked at the dusty gamers and shouted, "You've done well! Warriors! You're indeed my servants! I'm the Master of Dark Flames, the Demon Dragon of the Night! You have defeated the terrifying Flaming Master. It's time to enter the deep cave! Return all the treasure to me!"
The gamers cheered wildly. They then collected the rocks and metal dispersed on the ground. Those were the components of the Fire Giant. The gamers didn't know what they were, but they had to be useful since the powerful BOSS could only be killed by the Magic Cannon.
The Lava Scouts and Warriors had Lava Spars and Crystals that could improve equipment. The body parts of the BOSS had to be very useful since the metal could withstand fire, and it could probably be made into superior equipment!
Within ten minutes, the gamers collected all of the rocks and metal pieces.
After ensuring there was no more loot, the gamers continued to explore the deep end of the cave. According to the map, the interior of the cave would provide all the answers.
...
"Let's go to the lava cave. Let's see what's at the location marked on the map. Arthur, this is going to be a difficult adventure, " Cherry said to Arthur as he wore his armor and held his Longsword.
"Ah? We've found that place."
Arthur was stunned for a while before he replied.
