Chapter 1005 Ruthless Retaliation - The Power Of An S-Rank Guild!
After the first head rolled on the ground, all hell broke loose. One by one, the black-clothed figures in the group attacking the Crimson Abyss guild started dropping dead.
The retaliation was painfully instant. It was almost as if the other party was expecting this to happen. By the time the attackers surrounded the Crimson Abyss guild and started their onslaught, their ranks were also under attack.
More importantly, their side seemed to be the one who was suffering. Blood splattered everywhere as, one after the other, the ambushers started disappearing and hitting the ground.
The result was so overwhelming that, for a second, everyone couldn't help but become confused. Who orchestrated the ambush, and who was the one who was attacking here?
Everything was happening in reverse.
The initial volley of attacks was easily blocked by Alex using a divine shield to cover the guild, and those who were out of the area of coverage moved on their own to evade the attacks.
But this was the one and only defensive play the Crimson Abyss guild performed. The moment after that, the tables were instantly turned.
Rey's arrows pierced a few throats. Lan Fan's needle-sized ice spears blinded the enemy and passed right through the opening to stab them in their brains.
Mei Mei busily cast all of her buffs to strengthen everybody. She also then started taking out all the men surrounding them one by one.
The entire place became a complete mess. Tossed into this chaos were also Master Ning and her disciples.
The old granny was lagging behind Liam, but she was surely not second to anyone else. Her moves were also mysterious as they used both martial arts and mana enhancement techniques.
She fought with the vigor of a young tigress as she charged toward the enemy surrounding them without any fear and tore through their ranks.
No one was even able to block or evade her moves, let alone attack back. The level of the two sides was simply on a different scale.
Aside from these fighters, there were also a few assassin-type players who were already behind the enemy lines.
Shen Yue, Lan Deming, and Ning Xi made their moves almost instantly.
Shen Yue alone was an unstoppable force, but along with her Lan Deming and Ning Xi were also mixed in. Numerous throats were slashed without any mercy.
The most pitiful ones were the Assassin's Alliance members. After they watched their guild vice-leader's head roll down in horror, their bodies hesitated to comply with the ambush.
The thought of why they were even involved in this ambush in the first place arose in their hearts and minds. However, it was already too late.
From the retaliation so far, it was clear that Crimson Abyss had decided to take the brutal path. There was no room for forgiveness, and it was abundantly visible from their actions.
Each and every attack was aimed at killing. Within minutes, the thousand-plus attackers who had ambushed the guild from the sidelines were reduced to hundreds.
While dread and fear filled the faces of these attackers, the Crimson Abyss members seemed to enjoy the massacre.
Everyone had taken a look at the guild chat and bore with all of the public shaming and unfair allegations that were thrust upon them all these days.
But today, finally, they had a chance to vent out, and no one was willing to give it up!
"Did you really think that we came here without preparations?" Alex shouted loudly, instilling fear in the hearts of the remaining people.
Crimson Abyss fully let loose, and the power and strength of an actual S-Rank guild was on display for everyone to witness.
Abraki watched this horror from the sidelines. He had no idea any of this was about to happen and was completely caught off guard, just like the Crimson Abyss members were supposed to have.
However, nothing had gone according to plan, and now his guild members' bodies were littered everywhere in the dense jungle. His heart pained as he walked from one corpse to another.
Assassin's Alliance guild members had worn black clothing for this expedition as it was reported that the wilderness here was so thick that not even sunlight could sneak in.
But right now, this dress code was only being used to identify his men who had been killed. These people had been his friends and family for years, and now they were lying dead without even any meaning.
He finally came across a familiar face, and he could no longer muster the courage to move anymore. It was Elijah, and his head was severed from his body, and his eyes were still wide open.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
Abraki squatted on the ground next to him, and with a sigh, he closed the man's eyes. "Why did you do this? I told you countless times. I warned you again and again. Why did you do this, you idiot?"
"You ruined the entire guild!"
He collapsed on the ground, his heart no longer having the strength to continue forward. He clutched his head and continued to stare at his dead friend and brother.
He wanted to blame him for everything. He wanted to make him come back alive and then kill him with his own hands.
He was so furious, but in the end, Abraki knew that he had no one to blame. It was only because of him that all of this had happened.
If he had been more decisive right from the beginning and split the guild apart, taking with him his people, then perhaps Elijah would have seen the truth, and none of this would have happened.
But now, it was too late for everything. Abraki's heart ached as he felt endless regret filling him up. How was he going to face the rest of the guild? How was he going to face their families?
The burden that weighed on his shoulders was not light. It made him spiral downward in an endless void. However, in the depths of this void, suddenly, he heard a voice.
"Boss…"
A few feet away from him, a feeble voice sounded. Someone was alive, and moreover, it was a familiar voice. Abraki snapped out of it and rushed forward to help his friend. Even if he could save one person…
He hurriedly started searching the area, and amidst the corpses littered around, there was indeed a single person who was still alive. The person who had killed the guy did not finish the job.
"Hey. Hey. I am here now. Hang on for a second. Please. I am here."
Abraki rushed toward him at full speed. When he reached there, he saw that the person was brutally wounded and injured, but he was safe. None of his vital parts had been injured.
"Abraki… I am sorry. I should… should have told you." The person winced in pain and tried to speak, but Abraki quickly shook his head.
"Don't talk now. We can talk later when we get back to the guild."
"I begged you know… I begged them not to kill me… I used my unborn child to beg for my life."
Abraki's heart tightened, but what was he supposed to do? They were the ones who were in the wrong here. "Shhh… it's ok. We can talk later." He again consoled him.
He looked around and saw a backpack with some supplies and opened it. There were a few bandages inside.
Abraki used the bandages to wrap up some of the injuries and helped his friend drink some water. Tears rolled down his eyes. Why did it all have to be like this?
He cursed his incompetence for letting things come to this level. With a heavy heart, he silently continued administering first aid to his comrade.
He knew that, once again, he was doing the wrong thing here. Right now, he was supposed to be fighting for the fate of the world, but here he was, tending to a single person.
He felt like he was truly good for nothing, a failure in every single task. He let out a sigh and continued helping his friend when suddenly something happened.
A black mist appeared out of nowhere and swirled around his friend.
"Huh?" Abraki's eyes widened in shock. "What…"
However, before he could understand anything, the person who was still alive and breathing suddenly started convulsing in pain. The next second, a pair of lifeless eyes stared at Abraki in terror.
