Chapter 235 - Everwinter (1/2)

”Gahh!”

Michael uttered a painful scream as his body slammed on the wooden wall.

”F*ck! The large difference in our levels is really annoying, or else this Boss would be dead by now!” Viper angrily yelled while running and jumping around trees and boulders like an agile cat as the BOSS angrily chase after him from behind.

”Goddammit! Need a little help here!”

Boom!

Viper quickly rolled at the side as a huge shadow descended on his previous spot as dirt and stone flew everywhere, and Viper quickly regained his balance and took out a healing potion from his [Storage] and drank it, bringing his health back up to seventy-five percent.

”Curses! This bastard is too damn overpowered!” Michael felt incredibly annoyed as he too quickly drank a health potion, and then he hurriedly ran towards Amanda who was having a hard time keeping the BOSS occupied after pulling the aggro from Viper.

”Just hold on!”

...

”Koraaa! We're here! Where is that bastard!?”

Finally, two minutes later, the people they had been waiting for, finally appeared as twenty soldiers came running uphill and arrived inside the rebel camp after passing through the now destroyed gate.

'Finally, these bastards are here' Michael quickly gave a huge sighed of relief when he saw their reinforcements heading towards them, and he quickly pulled Amanda towards him and fled from the scene, just hair's breadth away from being decapitated into two by the BOSS' saber.

”Morgan! We finally meet again! This time-”

”I will cut your head off!”

Morgan, one of the Captains of the Blood Guards cut him off and quickly attacked Van'er as his ax shined with a green hue and collided against Van'er's weapon who hurried to block Morgan's attack.

While the rest of the Blood Guards just calmy encircled the two, creating a combat arena just for the two of them.

”Why!? Why did you rebel against the Duke!? Tell me...brother!” Morgan angrily shouted at Van'er as both of their weapons collided, staring at each other with vicious faces as the blades of their weapons grounded against each other.

”Brother? They're brothers!?” Viper couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, even Michael and Amanda weren't an exception, and both of them felt that this quest is more complicated than they thought, as there seems to be a deeper story behind it.

”Hahaha!”

Van'er didn't answer him and instead kick Morgan on his abdomen, sending the latter groaning and stumbling backward.

”You gave me no choice!”

”DIE!”

A few minutes later.

The battle is finally over, Van'er is kneeling on the ground with his head hung low and his saber embedded on his chest towards his back.

[You have gained a level!]

[You have gained a level!]

[You have gained a level!]

As Michael, Viper, and Amanda managed to tick off at least fifteen percent of the BOSS health earlier, they at least got their due rewards after his death.

Sadly, they weren't the ones who took the last hit on the BOSS, or else they would have received more.

But there were two weird things that they noticed after the defeat of Van'er, the first one is that Van'er didn't disappear after his death, and the second one is that the level of the Blood Guards had suddenly become question marks oppose from earlier where they could see their levels that were between Level 37 and Level 40, but now, everything are just filled with question marks.

Then Morgan walked over towards Michael and the rest, while the other Blood Guards started cleaning up their surroundings.

”You guys did well, and thank you for your help!” Morgan started laughing as he gave them a small bow.

”Are you okay?” Amanda asked him concerned while her eyes darted towards the kneeling dead body of Morgan's brother.

”It's fine, we are half brothers actually. He is my father's son from his first wife, my older brother” Morgan sighed while looking at his brother's dead body.

”What happened?” Michael said as he could certainly smell a follow-up quest as Morgan doesn't seem to mind answering their questions.
