Chapter 209 - Things Going South

Edge grabbed the token from Rudra and had started to mount his escape . Although Rudra was a bit shocked momentarily and unable to respond , Karna was not , hot in pursuit , he followed edge.

Edge was running towards his guilds strongold in sector 6 , but was amused to see someone tailing him.

Edge knew who was tailing him , he had been briefed about the man. The vice guild master of True Elites guild , a good swordsman with a heavy attack style.

Without slowing down , Edge said " Vice guild master Karna himself , what an honour ".

Karna sneered , he did not know who the thief was , but his cocky attitude was pissing him off. Karna increased his speed and was closing in on edge.

Edge understood his situation well , he was not an agility class player , he had chosen the class swordsman , although his agility was not as poor as barbarian or wizard , it was not as good as thief , ranger or assasin.

Then he thought of a devious plan , he grinned as he stopped running away and pulled out his sword.

Karna was shocked to see that the thief had stopped running and had adopted a battle stance.

Karna drew out slaughterer and assumed a battlestance of his own , he said " Surrender the token , thief ! ". His voice full of dignity and power. Worthy of the stature of vice guild master.

Edge laughed as he said " My , my , as if you can beat me in a swordfight ".

Karna squinted his eyes , it seemed as if the enemy was a arrogant boasting prick , words would not work on such people , sense needed to be beaten into them.

Karna closed in and slashed slaughterer at full power , the heavy epic rated blade collided with the thin one that Edge carried and sent him reeling back 5 steps.

Karna smiled , as expected the opponent was all talk and no fight.... However , Edge seemed calm and unaffected , Karna charged in again , and this time soo did Edge , Edge sidestepped Karna's swing , and pierced in his sword into Karna's gut to inflict a bit of damage , but quickly retreated before Karna's swing could hit him.

-5000

Karna was hit!

Karna's eyes widened in disbelief , the opponents movement as he dodged him was soo sublime , he attacked and retreated in the perfect time. He realized that he better take this guy seriously , or else he would be in lot of trouble.

Karna took a more reserved stance and now gauged the opponent more seriously.

Edge laughed as he mocked " Getting serious soo soon? Why don't you amuse me more ..... Dance for me ! ".

Saying soo he stepped in again , to hit Karna , it seemed as if he was going for a lateral Slash through the left. Karna decided to parry it with his sword , but at the last second , the sword changed angles , it still hit slaughterer which took the brunt of the attack , however it managed to just graze the surface of Karna's waist.

-200

A chip damage appeared.

" Ho , ho , ho , I'll chip away at you till you die , you are not my match , just by calling oneself Elite doesn't mean you are one ". Edge mocked Karna more.

Now Karna was genuinely enraged , he could still tolerate personal insults , but he could never tolerate insults about his guild.

And this was his mistake , as in his rage he was too focused on edge and forgot to scan his surroundings.

Swoosh

Swoosh

Swoosh

Three arrows impaled Karna!

Edge smiled , the reinforcements from the guild had arrived .

-10000 critical hit

-10000 critical hit.

-10000 critical hit

35200 of Karna's max HP of 38,000 had been clipped , he was on red in the HP bar , as he immediately became vigilant.

He looked at Edge with hate and distaste , the b****** mounted a sneak attack.

Karna closed his eyes , and used his minds eyes skill in the open for the first time ever , he summoned his other sword and Zorro's sword and used triple wielding. He deflected all the incoming arrows as he assumed a very conservative battle stance made for defense.

Edge frowned , how was the guy not dead after taking three arrows. And seemed like he had even more tricks up his sleeve.

He could let him be and get away , but the chance to kill him was too tempting for him to pass up on.

" Soo you have a few tricks up your sleeve , you may have been my match if you were not soo foolish to fight me alone. Who said this would be a one on one fight , this is a battlefield where numbers count , your little guild and it's 2000 members may appear like a novel concept , but come real world it's a pointless decision with no merits. Let me show u the power of a true first rate guild , vice leader , consider it to be a favour before you die ".

Saying so he signalled his guild members to go all out , and 25 assaulters 3 tanks and 2 wizards charged towards a weak Karna with barely any Hp left , while five archers covered the area from rooftops.

Karna knew his time had come , but even soo he fought valiantly , killing 17 assaulters all three tanks and one wizard with such low hp , before succumbing to a dastardly arrow by an archer.

This was the first time since Omega started that he had died. He swore to remember this day and this attack , and pay it tenfold someday. His only regret was dying before he saw through the winning of the Elites and his failure at retrieving the token .

Before he died his last words were " I leave it to you .... Guild leader ...".

An information network assasin from True Elites guild , who had been observing the situation from afar , contemplating on wether he should interrupt the enemies or not , while already have called for reinforcements said in a pained voice

" The vice guild master is dead! ".

The reinforcements stopped in their tracks , shocked.

But noone was as shocked as Rudra .... Who just thought ' Karna died? '. He was in denial , his mind was disoriented .... Things were not following the intended plan.

Things were going south!
