Chapter 322 - Valley Of Crystals
The valley of Crystals took the team nearly 20 hours to reach instead of the expected 16 , as there were stops that needed to be made to fight against level 81 insect monsters.
There was a large centipede with crystal scales that refused to take damge from Medivh's fire spells , untill Rudra had to use WORLDSLASH to lay it to bed.
However even after reaching the valley of Crystals things did not look soo good for Rudra and company. Three other groups seemed to already be mining inside the valley of Crystals , including two guilds that they were all too familiar with. Frozern Thorns and Eternal Rebels were here in the mine , Edge being present.
The moment Karna saw Edge , his mood soured , he plain hated this guy , now that he was here getting the resources would surely be more difficult.
Karna started to think about calling for more backup from the guild , seeing that both Frozern thorns and Eternal Rebels were here with atleast 200 members. The more he thought about the problem , the more he frowned.
However contrary to him , the more Rudra thought about the current situation , the more brightly he smiled , as after piecing the plan in his mind correctly he gathered everyone around and declared " Alright guys , as you must have noticed by now , we have company , and from fighting these guys during the conquest for Purplehaze city , we know that they are lying backstabbing bunch of hoodlums and robbers and that we need to be wary of them ... ".
Karna nodded , he first hand knew how scheming edge could be , and everyone else who participated in the conquest for Purplehaze city also knew the difficulty they needed to face to win the contest because of these two first rate guilds , hence there was definitely no love lost here.
Rudra continued " If this was an anime , here is what would happen guys , we the good guys would take our time , put in the effort , get the crystals , find the large Rhodium and then when we would be leaving back for our city they would try and rob us and to be honest that's what would happen here too if we choose to go about it that way ".
Rudra paused and looked around then smiled devilishly. Yua and Naomi were both enchancted by this sight , ever since Rudra had gotten the tattoos on his right arm , he looked even more intimidating and appealing , coupled with his devilish smile , he looked extremely handsome. Enough to make them a little wet between the legs.
Rudra continued " But Guys , this is neither an anime , nor are we the good guys , we have enough morals as to not rob them , however there is nothing wrong with us outright extorting them is there? Let's do this , let's tell them plain and simple to give up 80% of their collected crystals soo far and peacefully leave the valley of Crystals..... Or we annihilate them , it's a fair offer guys what do you all think ? ".
Everyone else gulped nervously , the leader just casually spouting threats of annihilating first rate guild parties was scary. When after the finals of the one v one fighting event the world guessed the true strength of guild leader Shakuni , soo did his own guild members.
Nobody knew Rudra's true limits as no matter the situation , he always had some unseen cards to play , hence him saying that they would annihilate the other party meant that he was actually sure of making it happen.
Everyone got chills down their spine , however their blood pumped at the same time , it was a weird feeling however looking at Rudra's confidence they felt confident as well .... It sounded crazy , a small bunch extorting 2 first rate guilds to give up resources that they rightfully mined ..... But Omega is a world where the strong have the final say and it there was one thing that the Elites were .... It was undoubtedly very strong!
Now the question came about whom to send to deliver the threat .... Rudra and Karna were the guild master and vice guild master of the guild , them going personally to deliver petty threats was kind of insulting for the guild . Naomi and Yua conveniently declined to do this work.
Hence the lucky draw fell between the other male members , and after a roll of dice , it was Fatty Kalash who was the unfortunate guy chosen to become the messenger.
Fatty kalash gulped in fear .... He was absolutely terrified of walking into an enemy camp and delivering a threat of extortion or annihilation. However it was him who lost the dice roll fair and square ,hence he had to go.
Well if he had to go , he was sure as hell not walking in there sober , hence he decided to chug down a bottle of rum , and walk inside the Frozen Thorns enemy camp first , as drunk as a sailor !
With the guild robes draped on , the shining silver wold insigna bright on display , Fatty wobbled his way to the enemy camp as he was stopped by guarding patrollmen.
Frozen Thorns member 1 : Excuse me sir , this is a base from where the first rate guild Frozen Thorns is currently working on a mining expedition , I implore you to not approach any further or prepare to face the consequences.
Fatty Kalash puts up a finger , indicating one moment please , and burps loudly. Beating his chest , and taking another sip of the rum. He says " listen to me laddie , call me thy captain , I come from the great pirate ship of True Elites , bearing a message from the king of all pirates , Shakuni himself. Bring me to your leader , or prepare to fight me! , Hahahahaha hahahaha, *Burp*".
The Frozern thorns member scanned Kalash from top to bottom, as a frown appeared on his face ... He seemed to know this man however he could just not remember where he had seen him ... Then it clicked to him
He said " You.... You are the drunk pirate Kalash of the Elites , the bronze medal winning blacksmith! , I saw you live from my home TV , I'm a big fan !!!!! ".
Fatty Kalash : " *burps *
