War Online

Chapter 383: Top 10 valuable players in the world

Shihei opened the forums. A popular freelancer reporter is currently live streaming the battle while commenting in the background.

It already attracted more than ten thousand viewers and the number is increasing rapidly by each second.

He clicked on the video.

On the vast grasslands that stretched for several kilometers, an intensive battle is going on between five level-400 Elven Generals and alone level-300 Player.

In the meantime, the reporter was commenting in the background while moving around to cover every moment of this intensive battle.

"As one can see, despite being engaged in an intense battle against level-400 NPCs, Crimson Sun is still managing on his own without any external help."

The battle went for five minutes before the reporter inspected Bran and his opponents and show the audience.

Everyone could see Crimson Sun's HP was downed to more than 72% while at the same, the Generals' HP was already downed to 74%, 71%, 83%, 78%, and 91% respectively.

While Bran was drinking health potions every ten seconds, a General who seems to be a paladin is healing himself and fellow Generals while striking down the rebel before them.

"We don't know their exact HP numbers but the damage on their heads at least shows that Crimson Sun's attack damage is over 500 million adding all the critical damage"

With five Generals ganging upon Bran from all the sides, the other bounty hunters didn't get any chance to interfere.

Everyone feared that if they accidentally injure the Generals, they will become Bran's accomplices and eventually, become the enemies of the royal family. They weren't strong like Bran to resist or fight against them.

So, both the friends and foes are just watching the battle in silence. However, there are a few Elites who are waiting for the battle to end like hyenas and then, ambush Bran for the bounty.

Meanwhile, the comment section was flooded with praises until fan club members of 'One' and Time Traveler have arrived and started an argument about how Bran is weak compared to their idols.

Reading the comments, Shihei could only shake his head, thinking of how immature they are. It also made him wonder what kind of hidden quest Wil is doing now as the status says he's online but none of his spies could find his trace anywhere within the four continents.

Leaning to the back, Shihei mumbled, "Even Texel Group decided to compromise with Williard. The longer I wait, the more this brat will grow and it will be more difficult for my plans to go smoothly."

"Hmm, I should ask my sister to push forward the official engagement as much as possible."

Shihei continued to watch the live stream.

The battle went on for thirty minutes. One of the Generals was killed. Bran is hanging on with 24% HP. The Elven General with Paladin class is still strong with more than 80% and went into full support while the other three are hanging on around 30%.

Just then right then, Bran received a simple notification.

*Ding! You received a private message from Orion.

Dodging an attack that was aimed at his shoulder, he quickly opened it. Along with a message, there's an image where he's having a selfie with eleven injured people behind him.

There was also a mysterious guy with a mask on his face and dual daggers in his hand.

Orion: My job is done. Send the remaining payment.

As soon as he read the message, a bright smile appeared on Bran and he raised his katana. The lightning sparks changed into flames once again.

"Well, I guess it's time to finish this battle." Pushing his right leg against the ground, he thrust the katana towards the General in front of him.

As the Elven General with only 31% HP backed away a bit, two of the Generals attacked from behind.

But, Bran didn't give them a chance anymore.

"Violent Fire Tornado, activate."

With his right leg as the pivot, he spun around at a high speed. The katana managed to slash the two Generals, taking away more than 5% of their HP before they jumped away with the rest.

In the next second, violent winds gathered around Bran, affecting the Elven Generals. Before they knew what's going on, the flames dancing on his katana became bigger and added to the wind, creating a fire tornado.

The tornado disappeared after 30 seconds passed away and Bran slowly decreased his spinning and finally, stood still in the end. However, there aren't any Generals around to fight anymore.

His bounty was abruptly rose to more than 25000 gold coins, becoming the most wanted in the bounty chart of Searvale Kingdom.

When Shihei heard the bounty from his scout, he fell into thoughts for a bit.

After thinking for a while, he opened the most valuable players list in the world which was created by Galaxy Net in the World forums.

He looked at it. Crimson Sun's name was at ninth. He readjusted his position and looked at the list once again.

1. Time Traveler

2. Lupin (?)

3. One

4. Clown (?)

5. Dark Knight

6. Magi

7. Crimson Sun

8. Siren

9. Supreme Conqueror

10. Yolo (?)

"Hmm this Lupin, Yolo, and Clown, I wonder what their igns are"

***

Imperial Palace, Dragon Island;

Lying on the bed, Wil was inspecting a crystal ball. He was weighing the options of choosing this crystal ball over the Warship.

"That Warship will be very useful in navy battles in the second phase of the war. But, the issue is that I could just summon Leon and rain down the enemies with fireballs or I could tame aquatic beasts from the ocean and attack the ships underwater.

However, if I lend it to Aster or someone else and form a separate navy, it will be tremendously useful.

On the other hand, I barely used Seer ability until now. Whether for finding the entrance of the Dragon Island or the Tower of destiny, I depended on that Owler. Even in the future, most likely, I won't get the chance to use this ability.

At the same time, there might not be any changes in the skill-set. Maybe, it's possible if it evolves to mythic but in that case, I have to use both of the evolution stones, which isn't possible.

In any case, it's obvious that my former choice is a good one I wonder why my guts telling that this one will benefit me"

As Wil was observing the crystal ball, suddenly, he received a message from Aster.

Upon reading the message, Wil opened the forums and started to watch the video.

However, within just one minute of watching, Wil got angered. "What kind of sh*t is this. 562 million attack damage against a mere general?"

He couldn't believe that his archrival and former love rival is this weak. After all, in Wil's eyes, Bran is always a formidable enemy. 

So, he convinced himself that his enemy might be holding back and is playing with them.

As the battle continued, Wil realized that his suspicions were true.

Looking at the sword that keeps changing from fire to lightning, then to ice, the netizens thought he was using skills. Only Wil who was familiar with Bran knew that it was his sword.

During his past life, he knew nothing about them and thought it was just Bran's specialty.

However, now that he knew the existence of Legend classes, Wil was even confident that perhaps, it was the unique feature of a Magic swordsman class just like he could use skills from different elements.

"After I return, I should talk with Rini." He decided it would be best to learn all about the magic swordsman class, which can be acquired by constantly sparring against Rini.

It made him remember the offer from Shihei about the alliance of ten guilds to have hegemony over this virtual world.

Clearing his thoughts, Wil focused on the battle once again.

As the battle is finished, he closed the forums and looked at the crystal ball once again.

"Now, what should I do with this? It's clear that evolving the warship gives me better results but I have other methods to deal with the navy. On the other hand, being Seer, I could only ask Owler to divine things every time. This is a matter of prestige, I guess"

After thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath, "Okay, let's gamble."

....

. Thank you.
