Chapter 263 - Darkside Vs. Queen Diana.
In the Colosseum.
The room, where Players who decided to become Gladiators were bustling with activity.
Most of the Players sat on the couches and looked at the matches being broadcasted from the holographic screen that was floating in the air.
Around one of the larger couches, Black Arrow's Core Members had gathered.
Darth was looking at the current fight with boredom.
Players that were currently fighting were one of the weaker sides, and even spectators looked bored after seeing such high-level fights only a moment ago.
Queen Diana was sitting right next to him with straightened back, looking very princess-like.
Her beautiful face and attractive body caught many eye pairs, but none of them dared to look for too long; after all, she was one of the most famous Players in Stronglord.
Famous Guild Master of Black Arrow Guild!
But then, a voice that made everyone's ears irritated appeared.
''Hahaha…'' The voice laughed, and soon the figure became visible after appearing right in front of Queen Diana out of nowhere, ''Wow, I thought I wouldn't be able to meet the Queen Bitch, but here she is…''
Core Members of Black Arrow looked enraged after hearing his words.
''Fuck off, Darkside!'' Darth stood up angrily and shouted at the infamous Guild Leader of the League of Assassins.
Darkside's laughing face turned into anger, ''Darth… Don't think even for a second that I have forgotten about the Duo Dungeon…
Ah, right, where is that fucker called Wraith? That cunt has been making a name for himself— it would be such a shame if he would be humiliated in front of thousands of spectators.''
''Back off.'' Darth's cold voice oozed with killing intent.
Darkside innocently took a step backwards, and suddenly a dozen individuals appeared out of nowhere and gathered around him.
Queen Diana seemed calm and asked, ''What do you want?''
Darkside smirked like he had been waiting for that question, ''Queen Bitch, do you want to fight? Just you and me…'' He licked his lip and brazenly looked at her from head to toe.
''Why would I do that?'' Queen Diana asked with a raised eyebrow.
''Hehe.'' Darkside chuckled and snapped his fingers.
*Snap*
Suddenly, a floating camera appeared on top of his head that was recording Queen Diana.
'He is streaming!' Darth and the rest of the Core Members grimaced.
''You can, of course, refuse… But, then everyone knows that you are nothing but cowardly bitch.''
Darth angrily took a step forwards and shouted, ''You think you are worthy enough? Fucking hell, even I am enough to defeat you!''
Next to Darkside, a man with a dark-colored mask and black robes took a step forward.
[Deathsong]
Underneath his mask, terrifying-looking eyes glared at Darth.
''Hmph, little doggy should stand down.'' Darth increased the pressure around him and forced Deathsong to take a step back.
''Grr…'' Deathsong suddenly unsheathed his dagger, but Darkside stopped him.
''Heh, easy now.'' Darkside grinned and whispered something in Deathsong's ear that caused him to stop moving.
''Fine.'' Queen Diana stood up and said, ''I will fight you.''
''Guild Master?!'' Darth exclaimed, and even other Core Members didn't think it was a good idea.
Darkside grinned and glanced at his chat.
[*****: Hahaha, kill that bitch!]
[*****: Kukuku, humiliate her, please!!!]
[*****: Bitch is about to get destroyed!]
[*****: This is the end of Black Arrow!]
''Colosseum Interface.'' He said with a grin, and suddenly brown-colored holographic screen popped out.
[Ranking]
[Challenge]
[Guild War]
Darkside pressed Challenge and wrote Queen Diana's name.
Once Queen Diana's name popped up, he pressed [Send]
In front of Queen Diana, a notification popped out, and she didn't even look as she pressed [Accept]
Darkside turned around to leave, but before that, he said bone-chilling words, ''Good luck… Kukuku, I will enjoy this.''
He and the rest of the League of Assassins left.
Darth snapped his head towards Diana and shouted, ''You shouldn't have accepted it! He has obviously ulterior motive!''
Queen Diana sat down and said, ''I still have my pride as Queen.''
Darth looked frustrated, and when he saw the faces of other Core Members, he understood that no one was pleased with the sudden turn of events.
''What is the use of the pride if it makes us lose everything we have worked for.'' Tobi said with an unpleasant look, ''If you lose. The news will spread in Stronglord, and it is not a good time for it.''
Darth nodded, ''Our Guild started to become more popular after Duo Dungeon, and this must be Darkside's desperate attempt to salvage the situation.''
''We needed an only week to become a Guild that is way above the level of League of Assassins.'' Tobi sighed and rubbed his forehead, ''Now, you have to win.''
Queen Diana looked calm as she replied, ''It's fine… I will handle this.''
Darth wanted to believe that Queen Diana would win, but he had a hunch that Darkside won't be playing fairly.
…
In front of the Colosseum.
The area was crowded with NPCs and Players that were trying to enter the Colosseum through the front doors.
Suddenly, a white-haired youth entered the Colosseum from the front doors after waiting in the line for nearly half an hour.
Isaac once again entered the Colosseum.
''In the end… I returned.'' He murmured while walking towards the desk, where handsome-looking Gladiator was waiting.
He noticed the white-haired youth walking towards him and instantly straightened his back. He remembered the Legacy Carrier he met a few hours ago.
Isaac nodded at him and entered surprisingly the left path, which leads to the Gladiator Area.
The Gladiator looked surprised and murmured, ''Is he planning to fight…'' His eyes widened in shock after realizing what it could mean.
Isaac didn't plan necessarily to fight because he still didn't know the losing penalty, but he wanted to see the Gladiator Area and maybe will find out what the losing penalty was.
After reaching the end of the corridor, he reached the open space with hundreds of Players sitting on couches with their gazes locked on the floating holographic screens.
Isaac looked surprised to see there being items that resembled real-world's TVs.
