Second World



While Arthur caused havoc among the native soldiers down there, Jack was busy with the two heavenly enforcers. Spring Crown's Weapons Festival came at him with each weapon as if controlled by different experts. All the while, Ronald's bullets came out of the smoke from unknown angles.

Jack tried to move to a position where Spring Crown's body blocked Ronald's bullet. But Spring Crown wasn't exactly a newbie. He also adjusted his position so Ronald would always have a clear shot at Jack.

Jack's six arms flailed around with incredible speed. The three arms on his left executed the flowing style of his sword art, fighting all nine melee weapons from Spring Crown. The three arms on his right repeated the burst style of his sword art, creating a dense wall of slashes, deflecting the bullets that came out of the smoke.

If it was his old self, it would be difficult to pull such expertise. After learning about the Sword's Heart from Arthur, his control over his sword art had undergone an upgrade. The swords in his hands easily moved as he wanted them to. Even so, continuously using his sword art at such high intensity was causing him to fatigue. He couldn't go on like this.

He was conflicted. Should he just let go of his cover to take out these two heavenly enforcers? He didn't think he could defeat these two in a short time just by relying on his sword art and blade dancer skills.

While Jack and Spring Crown continued to move while trying to get the best positions corresponding to the smoke that concealed Ronald, Jack also moved so they came close to the jamming device on the nearby ground.

Spring Crown was aware of what Jack tried to do. He tried to force Jack away from the device. Unfortunately, he was unable to contest Jack's strength and speed. Additionally, Jack's sword art was already at a level where his self-learned martial art was unable to compete against.

Spring Crown could only watch as Jack smashed the jamming device once he came near. The device was not a durable item, so it was destroyed in one hit. While Jack successfully destroyed the device, Spring Crown managed to score a hit when Jack was doing it. He Landed the hit using Ki Strike, which opened Jack up to a couple of hits from Ronald's bullet.

Jack quickly regained his balance from those hits. With the jamming device destroyed, his radar was back to operational. He saw then a lot of black dots approaching. Whether he wanted to sacrifice his last disguise for the lives of the two heavenly enforcers or not, he had to decide now.

Jack made his choice in that split second and jumped away. He somersaulted backward and landed on the ground below. He then turned around and headed to where Arthur was still merrily slaying the soldiers.

"Arthur, let's split!" He called.

"Oh?" Arthur was a bit disappointed hearing it, but he trusted Jack's judgment.

Jack's four extra arms from Asura continue to use the burst slashes of his sword art, deflecting the bullets from Ronald who had chased him out of the smoke. His two original arms slashed using the flowing style at the soldiers who tried to block his way.

He joined Arthur and the two slashed their way out of the crowd of soldiers.

While Ronald continued to shoot at Jack, Spring Crown simply stood and watched. Ronald glanced annoyingly at the gamer without stopping his shots.

"Hehe, I know who that ethereal is," Spring Crown uttered with a chuckle.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Who? Have you crossed paths with him before? What's his name?" Ronald asked while his finger continued to pull the triggers. He couldn't inspect Jack's alias because Jack equipped his Cloak of Shadow.

Spring Crown just smiled without answering Ronald's question. This vexed Ronald greatly.

The rest of the players arrived then. The leader of the group, who was a sentinel, saw their two targets break out of the encirclement and was running away. This team leader asked Spring Crown and Ronald if they should chase.

"Chase them!" Ronald exclaimed.

"No need to chase," Spring Crown uttered.

The two spoke at the same time. The team leader was perplexed. Whom should he listen to? Both Spring Crown and Ronald were equal in rank, and why the hell did they give contradicting orders?

Ronald's aimed his revolver at Spring Crown's head and opened fire.

Spring Crown either saw the move or had predicted it because a shield appeared in his hand and he covered his head using it. He received damage but was not in danger.

Spring Crown jumped away and said, "Now, now. We are on the same side. No need to be like this. If you people want to chase, then go ahead. I've had my fun. I will go back to the command base."

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Spring Crown retreated while observing Ronald. His shield was ready in case Ronald fired at him again. Ronald's revolver continued aiming at Spring Crown but he didn't pull the trigger. Spring Crown was soon out of sight.

Ronald returned his attention to where Jack and Arthur had fled. The two were also out of sight already. Ronald had no problem tracking them again. But after the scuffle just now, he knew the two were not easy targets. He enjoyed hunting difficult targets, but in his estimation, going for the two with just the group here would most likely end up in a defeat. Not to mention, Spring Crown had also left, further reducing their success chance.

"Sir… What should we do?" The team leader asked again. He knew Ronald was an unpredictable player. He didn't want to be on the receiving end of Ronald's ire. He had been standing at a distance away and also had his shield close to his head just in case.

Ronald turned around and said, "We go back. The boss is planning a final push. The war here should end by tomorrow. We will get ready to join the assault."

The team leader acknowledged the order, but he only lowered his shield after Ronald walked away with his back on him. He looked at the native soldiers while ordering everyone to return. He was surprised to see lots of native bodies on the ground. What happened? Didn't they only face two opponents?

While the other players were lamenting that they didn't see any action in this operation. The team leader was secretly relieved that they didn't have to go against those two opponents who fled before they arrived.
