Chapter 61 - The War Continues

"Guys, wait up." Sato called out to the four that were trying to squeeze through the crowd. He had a frown on his face which stopped everyone's movement.

"What is it?" Hayden asked.

"The Mysterious Aura. We should not inherit it."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"I sense..." Sato thought about how much he should tell them,before speaking. "I know that beneath the benefits that it is giving, there is a malicious demonic aura."

"Demonic aura? Like the Demons that invaded our continent?" Hayden's eyes constricted listening to Sato.

Everyone has read the lore about the Demons invading the land of Ronan. Everyone could predict that the main quest for both Factions would eventually lead to the clash with the Demon race. Thus, when Sato spoke that the aura had the presence of Demons, the siblings became apprehensive.

"Are you sure about it?" Hayden asked Sato once again to reassure himself.

"Yes, I am. I cannot tell you how I know, but what I say is definitely true." Ever since he became an Elven Assassin, Sato's sensitivity and awareness for his surroundings had improved tremendously. In addition, he had fought against stronger Demons before and so it made him even more sure of it.

" Okay. We shall listen to you and not get the aura." After playing with Sato for a bit, the siblings knew that Sato had no ulterior motives. Rather, they had taken quite a liking for him.

"I say, let's get going and look for a strategic point to prepare for the upcoming fight." Sato adviced and the rest complied. The 5 players left the group ahead of time.

While looking for a place to fight, Sato decided to allocate his points once again. He was able to increase his level to Lv29. It was truly shocking if anyone could see it. As of now, Sato was comparable to a Lv60 player, stats wise.

In the Undead Camp, SilentNoise had chosen the strongest players in the miscellaneous camp to give the auras to. He even manage to rope half of them into his team to fight this war. "This time our guild shall be number 1 out of all of the guilds!"

...

As the time reached 9.30pm, the battle once again commenced. The Undead faction players haphazardly ran onto the battlefield in search of players to fight. They soon found their target, yet was hesitant to attack. Why? Well, the Human players were all coordinated and commanded to stand together, making them stronger.

"Charge! For our Faction!" The coordinated group, under TeaseMePlease from the HellFire guild's command, attacked the spaced out Undead Faction.

Even though the Human Faction was more coordinated, after 10 minutes, the strength in numbers on the Undead Faction started to show. Only WAR guild had yet to attack and was only watching.

"Why are we suddenly winning this fight by so much?" Mars frowned as he watched the battle from the sidelines.

"That is weird indeed." A soft yet soothing voice commented from the side of Mars. Her face was covered by a thin pink veil, but anyone that looked carefully could tell that she was definitely a beauty. She was another elite from GOD guild, Venus.

"Advance Scrying." Venus used her observation skill to scout for any clues.

*Advance Scrying

*Able view from a bird's eye view within the distance of 2000m.

Venus looked into the battle that was enfolding before her. She too frowned when she realised the problem.

"Out of the 3 top guilds that participated in this war, only HellFire is fighting right now."

"What?!" Mars rubbed the right side of his forehead after getting the intel. After a minute of think, he gave his orders to his guild. "Venus, immediately prepare for a counter-attack on the enemy. Allocate everyone to the right side of the forest battlefield."

"A tough battle is about to start."

On Sato's side, his squad had been standing on the left-most side of the forest, picking off smaller groups of players.

"Kill kill! Woohoo!" Hobz shouted in excitement. The constant fights allowed for him to forget about his hunger.

"We are winning! The end is close!" Hanz used Far Sight from the tall tree that he was standing on. He was able to see the battle that was taking place in great detail.

*Far Sight (Advanced)

*Allows the user to see for a distance of 1000m. The sight will only be visible when there is a clear passage of view (e.g. In a plain, on a very tall scouting point)

The battle was progressing faster than the Human Factions thought, thanks to the Mysterious Aura from Garglos. The Human players were being overpowered by the Undead. However...

"That doesn't make sense." Sato commented as he ended another player's life.

"Why doesn't it make sense? The Aura is allowing us to overwhelm the Human Faction. Obviously, we should be winning." Laia asked Sato, confused.

"No. Even if we are now supposedly stronger than the Human Faction, we should only be tying with them in terms of strength and not crushing them." Sato continued to explain logically. "After the end of the first battle, our players should be lesser than the Human Faction. But now it seems like they are definitely lacking players on the battlefield..."

As Sato was explaining to his teammates, there was a light tremor on the ground that started to become louder from his left side. It was then Sato knew what had happened.

"An ambush! Run! Run fast!"
