Message In a Bottle
Translations and Edits; Jzar, Enlightened End
In just a few hours three tracking teams, made up of Hermes Guild Thieves and Assassins, were completely wiped out.
“We’ve lost touch with them. Our latest report is that they were being attacked by a very strong warrior who is with Weed.”
“They have to be nearby. We’ll send troops to guard the Thieves and Assassins so stop the search until they can reinforce those teams.”
Drinfeld was sure he was only a few days away from reaching his objective, He made sure his new wizards and paladins, the Hermes Guild reinforcements, were placed and ready to fight with his other troops.
The Navy, plus their Assassin’s and Thieves. Then the Pirates, who were mostly made up of wanted men, were forced to work together as a group. Normally the navy and pirates are sworn enemies. They had decided to endure it for the sake of attacking their mutual enemy and the Guild’s power to influence them.
The tracking teams had traced the footprints close to the Helium mining region but the track was hard to read because of the previous fights in the area.
“Look at these fresh footprints, It hasn’t been long since they passed through here.”
“Whose covering the other end of that passage?”
“Rutiel-nim and the others have sealed off that section.”
“Those guys won’t be beaten back so easily.”
Rutiel, a Navy Knight of the Kingdom of Haven belonged to the top 30 group of the most powerful Knights in the game.
“I’ve heard that Rutiel-nim has gone through and crushed a huge number of dungeons, he should be able to quickly chase them down no matter how far they run.”
In the first wave the Thieves had run ahead of the Knights. They have a high level agility, lots of speed, the drawback being they have a low endurance. They were no longer in a place to care about that now.
Seo Yoon.
Three Assassin’s and one Thief had died by her hand.
If you include the escorting troops sent to guard the tracking teams, no fewer than 21 members were slaughtered.
This was all done by just a single person.
Roa: Stay sharp. This woman is so strong it’s scary.
Travis: Don’t worry about asking after Weed’s location, just kill her on sight.
Alawin: Just hold out until the main troops arrive to support you.
The Hermes Guild users in the Jigolaths filled the private chat channels with endless talk.
The Guild users still back in Heaven found the reading exciting, the hunt was a popular hot topic.
Gochem: It’s a fox hunt.
Strauss: She’s quite the ferocious fox.
Jaigeo: It’s too bad the Jigolaths is so far away, I’m starting to wish I’d gone.
*****
Seo Yoon’s once pristine armor was now covered with large cracks and dents. Her vitality and strength was very low but she couldn’t afford to stop moving.
Trackers were swarming everywhere as they narrowed their search net and gathered to build their siege.
Attack Force.
Berserkers fight until their very last thread of vitality is left.
The way they gain even small amounts of levels and skills is different from the other classes. Normally you gain less experience when hunting with a grouped party.
You can rest as needed within a party hunt, this makes for a slower paced monster hunt but you still gain some experience.
If however, you place yourself in a dangerous room filled with a large amounts of monsters or other enemies and fight until you feel your very life is danger…you will gain more experience. You will also see your associated battle stats and skills increase significantly.
It’s a hunting style of constantly overcoming your limits and facing stronger opponents, fighting until you’re down to your last drop of blood. This is the Berserker class style of combat and it undoubtedly makes you stronger than other classes.
From all the current signs Berserker Seo Yoon is in a very bad state.
‘To hold on much longer will be hard.’
Up until now, Seo Yoon had defeated all of the enemies using her Berserker skills alone. However more Assassin’s and Thieves were on their way and this time they were bringing the knights with them.
Various types of Assassin’s poison were currently coursing through Seo Yoon’s body, her ability to resist them was reaching it’s limit.
“It’s her!”
“Get her!”
Seo Yoon didn’t know if she could afford the time to resist or escape.
Seeing her hesitate the enemies grew bold and came forward.
‘A fight.’
In the end, Seo Yoon, doing her best to dodge the attacks, managed to kill 31 enemies with her sword. Knocking out these enemies Seo Yoon’s strength and vitality went through the floor. For any other class the state of the injuries would have left them unable to fight let alone survive.
After the battle Seo Yoon was able to rest for while.
For a Berserker the aftermath of combat carries a terrible price, their whole body aches with impairments that leave them nearly crippled.
A day earlier, before the enemy trackers had appeared, Seo Yoon sent Weed a whisper.
He had sent back a reply.
-I’m on my way out. –
