Chapter 224 - Worst Outcome
After explaining the upcoming event which was named dragon dance, Arthur along with Batol, Yuki as well as even Mark began to plan what they would do to counter the upcoming monster which would come to attack them all at one. Of course there was still some doubt in the air as they didn't know who they could trust. Even though the clans had merged, there was still tension between its members. It wasn't just the lower tier of the players from each guild but even the higher ups Mark and Batol had a look of hatred on their face. As if they were being forced to work for Yuki they were but Yuki didn't think much of it.
"How are we even supposed to plan so we can fight a monster which we know nothing about?! We've never seen or heard of it. Why the hell would it even think about coming near this place?!" Batol began to speak as he challenged Arthur's theory as he had no reason to believe the words of the man which he considered to be his enemy for such a long period of time.
"Well I see that you're lacking in a bit of intelligence so I'll do you a favour and begin my explanation-" Arthur began to speak at which Batol stood off from his seat to try to slap Arthur in anger from having been disrespected so much in front of such a high ranking individual.
"Come on, let's try to be civil here," said Yuki as he stopped Batol's movements before they could reach Arthur and slap him. Seeing this, Batol simply gritted his teeth before sitting down on his chair once more as he was clearly angry at Yuki as well but couldn't do anything about it.
"I thought that we were supposed to equals with him?" Batol asked Yuki with a heather harsh tone as if he was judging the way which Yuki ran things which was exactly what Battle was doing. Since he made it so obvious that Batol was starting to hate Yuki, Yuki began to take action so that a Rebellion wouldn't occur.
"Yes I know. I'm trying my best to make things fair for everyone," Yuki replied as he tried to reason with Batol.
"That's not fair at all! Why do you keep defending Arthur and shaming us? Does that really seem to be the thing which you want to convey to the members of your new clan which came from the original 'FFF' clan? I doubt that they would like to know something as unfair as this. Of course you won't have to worry about that problem if you just call Arthur out on a mistake he makes," said Batol as he made an ultimatum so that Yuki would have no choice but to agree to the conditions to which Battle had set.
Although too would have worked previously, this version of Yuki had a clear understanding of all the power which he held over others.
"Calm yourself Batol, know your place here. I am the judge of how I treat people," said Yuki in a cold tone as he warned Batol before going back to his calm and collected self.
"Anyway Arthur, why do you think that we're the first people to see this event? What makes us compared to everyone else in the world so special?" Yuki asked as his interest had also peaked.
"I believe that the explanation for this is quite simple. The reason which makes us different is the people we have here. I mean think about it, there had never been this many people who were so powerful which were gathered for the sole purpose of being the clan which was previously known as FFF to glory. The problem came when they stepped into our kingdom and the war had begun. Most battles would have been one sided but due to the nature of both these clans, they were found at a stalemate. Well until our hero showed up," said Arthur before giving Yuki a nod.
"I think that the events are only summoned depending on who specifically resides inside a kingdom. The more and stronger the people in the kingdom are, the more powerful the event will be. Hence the fact that the load time for this event is 72 hours instead of the regular 24. However that isn't the end of it as things wouldn't be that simple. We still don't have any information about our opponents. If we don't even have that, how the hell are we expected to defeat something that powerful?" Arthur asked as panic began to settle in.
"Don't worry about that, just leave it to me," said Yuki with a confident smirk as he completely believed that he could take on whatever monster that the event known as dragon dance would throw at him and not even flinch at it.
"Whatever you say boss. We'll always be behind you to give you our full support, Arthur, Batol and Mark all nodded from agreeing to those conditions. Even though Mark was injured quite a lot,
More than everyone else, he was starting to make a recovery but not one which would allow him to fight at full capacity in the battle which would take place in just a few more days.
...
One the day of the battle, all of the members of FFF's WD were present right in front of where the screen stood with Yuki standing right infront of everyone.
[00:00:01]
...
[00:00:00]
Once the timer finally had hit the end of its countdown, the screen which was displaying those numbers simply began to crack as if it was a piece of glass before finally cracking and revealing a dark blue portal of some kind in the sky.
"Uh- What is that?" Yuki asked in a confused tone as he had expected to fight against war heros and legendary monsters. Instead all there is just a circle in the sky?! This has to be some kind of joke," said Yuki in an irritated tone. Even though it would have been optimal for him to stay as far away from needless fights as possible, it had become so integrated into his life to fight that Yuki felt the need to let out some steam. As such, he wanted to fight a big and strong monster, not some magical fairy circle in the sky that was made by a magician for some kid's show.
"What happened to all those things you told us about Arthur? Where are all the unbeatable monsters which even our entire army can't stand up to?" Batol asked as he mocked Arthur for spouting all that nonsense just for him to be clearly lying.
Of course Arthur himself was at a loss for words as he couldn't believe that he had been wrong in making a prediction. As someone who studied the human brain and what decisions they're supposed to make along with the fact that the creator of the world which he lived in was human (to Arthur's knowledge), that human being Yuki, it would only make sense for Arthur's prediction to be true. Unless Yuki was lying to him.
...
After only a few minutes of getting laughed at, Arthur would get the last laugh as a majestic flying beast which could only be described as a dragon pierced through the sky portal and flew into the world which Yuki along with his clan members resided in.
...
"I TOLD YOU ALL! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE STUPID?!" Arthur yelled at everyone who laughed at him as in the end, he was the person who was correct.
"Oh I guess there was one thing you were right about. A monster came out of the portal however that doesn't mean that it's invincible. It looks so weak that even I could take it on without the use of potions and still
come out with almost no, if not a single scratch on my body," Batol said to Arthur which even he knew to be true as the first dragon to come out of the portal looked repetitively weak.
However that wouldn't be where Arthur's lucky day or to be more realistic, his unlucky day would end as a second dragon which was identical to the first came out of the portal. However those wouldn't be the worst of their worries as a 3rd and 4th the 5th dragon came one after another from the portal as they all came out of it at the speed of lightning before taking a quick spin and facing towards where the people form FFF's WD where looking at as the dragons clearly knew who their enemies were.
As for humans, it didn't look too good since the dragons which came out of the portal seemed endless until finally a dragon which was multiple the size of the regular dragons came out of the portal as it barely quickly went through and began to literally crack the portal from being unable to fit into the hole. However in the end, the larger dragon was able to accomplish its goal but it would also mean the worst possible outcome for the humans.
