Calice was frowning as he looked at the hundred and ten men before him; he wondered how things had become like this? They thought maybe they would be able to deal some kind of damage to Alex at least, but on the contrary, they suffered defeat after defeat, losing half of their men. None of them would have expected the enemy to be a spendthrift, spending thousands of gold coins to acquire a rare potion such as Nightmare Fog potion. They were not prepared at all, so naturally, the amount of damage their suffered what terrible.
Looking at the twenty Mind clearing potions inside the chest in his hand, Calice sighed, and his brain rapidly thought about some possible solution; these twenty Mind clearing potions recently arrived from the headquarter after they knew that the enemy was using the Nightmare Fog potion. As the counterattack to the Nightmare Fog, the Mind clearing potion's price was huge; one bottle cost 1000 gold coins, it was to say that the twenty bottles cost twenty thousand Gold coins, an astronomical amount of money. Even huge guilds such as the True End Guild could not dare to waste such an amount of money openly, and yet they were forced to do it.
Calice heaved another sigh, and his eyes became resolute; he immediately distributed the twenty potions to his men and a few strong players, those that received the potion would stand in the frontline, protecting the other who had less chance not falling under the nightmare fog effect if the enemy still has one.
The surrounding was calm, giving one the illusion that this peaceful atmosphere would last for long; however, the reality was cruel; soon, this peaceful atmosphere was broken when two bottles containing gray water fell on the ground and were immediately shattered.
Immediately a thick fog covered the forest and even the mountain behind them.
''Don't panic, stay focused; we already have the solution,'' Calice shouted, and when the hundred of men heard his voice, their panic decreased as they recalled that just a moment ago, they took a potion that made them immune against the effects of the nightmare fog, what they didn't know was that only handful of people had received the true person, as for the remaining one they only drunk a fake potion.
The men clutched their weapons tightly while the mages prepared their spells, they felt sleepy, but they attributed this feeling to being too tense.
Calice, who was watching everything from the top of the a tree frowned, he thought that once the enemy threw the nightmare fog, he would immediately charge in. From his location, Calice would direct his men who planned to act as if they were under the effects of the nightmare fog; however, no matter how long he waited for, nobody appeared, nothing happened, just as Calice started to become irritated because of the situation he felt an ominous feeling and all the hairs on his body rose, he immediately ordered.
''Retr-"
A terrible explosion cut Calice mid-speech the swallowed the one at the front and some in the middle.
Boom! Boom!
One after another terrible explosion occurred, killing those poor players and NPCs who were late to react. Soon, more than half of the those present lost their life; the unlucky ones who had only one life left would be expulsed from Exodus after dying, while those who were lucky enough to have one life left decided to not think about revenge.
Calice's eyes turned red as rage filled him, he had trouble controlling his emotions, this mission was a huge failure, the remaining men had no will to fight, this could be seen from their lifeless eyes, the bold ones immediately revoked their right to participate in this mission while at the same time giving back the twenty gold coins they had received at the beginning of this mission, and after they were done, they fled the scene faster than they came.
In less than ten minutes, only three people remained; those were from the True End Guild.
''Fuck!" Calice cursed while glaring in front of him, the fog was cleared, and from the other side, a girl came out.
And when Calice saw this person, his killing intent skyrocketed, his eyes became cloudy, he finally understood the unusual he had back them upon seeing the girl with the fox mask. However, her clothes had changed; the mask was still the same, and Calice could never mistake it for another one.
What Calice didn't know what that he was confounding people, Alex who transformed into a woman, chose to wear a fox mask as he was a fan of this, never he would have thought that this was the same mask like the one the real Sakuya coming behind was using and that because of this he got mistaken as Sakuya.
''So, it's you!'' Calice said with a cold voice.
Alex, who didn't understand what Calice meant, stopped before shaking her head; although he didn't know why Calice was reacting so heavily, he decided to use this opportunity and finish them.
''Well, it's good that you finally understood; it's time for you to die,'' Alex said with a shrug.
''Just with you?'' Calice sneered and unsheathed his purple sword.
''You will die her-"
Calice's pupils dilated as the next moment, the girl with the fox mask appeared before him and said something.
''Time Stop''
Calice's body froze before receiving a hard chop in the neck and immediately stumbling onto the ground; he had lost consciousness.
The remaining men could understand how their leader, the strongest among them, lost so easily. Just as they were about to attack, they felt the traitor's body trembling before one of them disappeared, and the next moment, he was sliced into two by a black light.
''Mio, I can explain.'' Alex immediately shouted.
''Die!" However, only an angry voice responded to his pleas; he was forced to immediately shadow shift with the last moment, who froze because of the unexpected situation.
Alex, who never expected to meet Sakuya here, unexpectedly met her.. Still, the situation wasn't a joyous one as the latter was furious and was trying to slice him into two.
