Chapter 11 White Flame

After using the Unique books, assigning the SP and equipping both items I stood up. Slowly walking towards the hidden room exit I noticed another hologram hovering above my face.

< Congratulations on defeating The Dark Prince! >

< Do You want to Announce your Achievement to the World ? >

< YES / NO >

Frowning at the choice I pressed the < NO > button. I won't reveal my identity until I am sure that me and my parents are living in a safe region. There are a lot of greedy people in the world and they would do everything to reach their goal.

< Congratulation to Player [ Unnamed ] for Defeating The Dark Prince! >

A hologram suddenly appeared on every player's screen. A chaos erupted in the game, because some People knew how hard it is to defeat the Hidden Boss and someone managed to defeat it Solo. They started posting forum threads and spreading information about the boss's difficulty.

Soon enough every single Guild was on their toes trying to find the player that managed to solo the boss. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to have a player so powerful.

In a few minutes there were people rushing towards the boss's location to recruit the player.

While the world was exploding I was clueless. Happily marching out of the broken boss room I carefully closed the door behind me and descended down the stairs. I was even humming my favorite song.

Unfortunately when I left the castle's territory a group of men appeared in the dark forest. I was not in the village's territory, hence I could be attacked. I noticed one of the men pointing at me with a smile. Seeing his grin I tightly gripped my new staff and got ready to engage.

" Do you really want to fight ? "

I spoke to the group while eyeing their leader. I wasn't worried about losing, if anything I could take 5 more groups. I was hesitating, because the cover on my face was not perfect and even a slight wind breeze could remove it.

As a response I heard the group laugh at me before they took out their weapons.

" We'll consider letting you go if you are willing to give us all the Boss loot "

The man at the front spoke while swaying the staff in his hand.

Taking a deep breath I conjured a Lightning Spear. Lightning Spear is considered a low tier spell and its chanting time is small, hence it appeared on my palm in a few seconds. Taking a last glance at the leader's face I saw some hints of fear. He probably knew that I just defeated the boss and that I got some powerful loot.

Smirking at his reaction I launched the Spell straight at his face.

Whoosh...

The Spear flew through the air as a rocket, almost breaking the speed of sound.

" You Fucker! Now you're dead! "

Another Man shouted seeing one of his comrades fall in a few seconds. Signaling to the other men he held his staff and started conjuring a Spell.

I could sidestep if they threw projectiles, but if they had a Dark Priest class player that would be a problem, because you can't dodge a curse.

Warily looking at the men chanting their spells I relaxed my muscles seeing them cast Darkness Shield for protection. I instantly knew that all of them were Dark Mages. Dark shield is an exclusive skill only for a Dark Mage to have.

Creating another Lighting Spear I threw it at the closest person.

Seeing me trying to forcefully breach through his shield the man smirked. From his own experience he knew that the shield could block up to 100 Magical Damage. Unfortunately for him, he didn't see how much damage my spear did previously.

Now the group of four men was halved. The two alive men weren't stupid, they knew that they had no chance to win against me. Slowly retreating they threw a few Darkness Blasts trying to prevent me from chasing them.

Unfortunately for them I had no intention of letting them go. I wanted to test my Demonic Flame and let the White flame dance on my palm. Taking a step forward I narrowed the distance between myself and them in a few seconds. I felt that I couldn't throw the Demonic Flame yet. Extending my palm I grabbed one of the men's faces and instantly lit it on fire.

I could hear him wince in surprise, but soon his eyes dimmed down and a few seconds later a hologram appeared.

The only person left was running as fast as he could, but soon his calf was pierced by a lightning projectile and was impaled to the ground.

Approaching the dying man I heard him curse me in another language, but I didn't care. Throwing the Darkness Blast I killed him.

The whole group was dead. Walking close to the fallen man I set him on fire and left his corpse to burn alone. quickly walking back to the castle I let my Demonic flames devour another 2 men before walking deeper into the forest.

Seeing my flame's upgrade I decided to log out. I've had enough Fragmental for today.

A few scouts ran through the forest trying to outrun each other. While sprinting they noticed something white in the distance. Coming closer to the thing they noticed a Man with a pierced calf burning in white flames.

A silence engulfed the whole group. Taking some glances at the burning body they slowly turned their heads towards the gloomy castle. Their pace was a lot slower now.

Soon after a Forum post was created with pictures and news about the Hidden boss's defeat and 4 players burnt in white flames. The players that were burnt in fire also commented about their fight and confirmed that they were killed by the same player that defeated the boss. They also mentioned that the unknown player was hiding his face under the hood and that he was a demon.

The Fragmental player base was in chaos for the whole night trying to find out who the unknown player was. The Unnamed player became some kind of celebrity in one night, while I was happily dreaming about a new and expensive mansion.
