The Razor Guild master turned back to the player and asked, "what bad news you are talking about?"
The player said in a dreaded voice, "Sir, a few hundred players started destroying the slum. The whole slum is in chaos."
"What!!!" his mouth wide open in shock. He knew that this slum attack might be the start of something big, this attack might be the spark that burned the entire city in war.
He asked in a low voice, "who is behind the attack?"
"The attackers do not have any symbols on their armor but we this…" the player stared down and said, "It's Abyss team, sir. "
"Abyss??" Razor guild master stopped moving and glanced at the elite leader. Both of them had a pale look on their face.
Guild master motioned to the player, "You can go back."
The Player nodded his head and moved back.
The Razor's guild master and elite leader both moved a little away from the other player.
The guild master asked the elite leader in a low voice, "do you think Abyss is behind the mine cave attack??"
The elite leader looked up at him, "I think it can be possible, but one thing doesn't add up to this..."
The razor guild master looked up toward the mine cave and completed the sentence, "Abyss doesn't have their elite team with them in the city. Then who was it that can destroy the second team so fast?"
The elite leader shook his head, "Guild master, even the Abyss elite were not powerful enough to destroy the team of 250 players in a minute or two."
He looked at the elite leader's face and tilt his head in confusion. "Then who was it? Was it someone else??"
The elite leader also had a confused look on his face, "Let us assume it was Abyss guild then what is their purpose, first they attacked the cave mine to attract us to the forest."
He nodded his head.
The Elite continued, "the moment we moved to the forest the Abyss launched an attack on slums but I don't think that was the end of it…"
The Razor guild leader nodded, "But there is a possibility that Abyss was not behind the cave attack, and they just used this chance that someone else created."
Elite said in a dreaded voice, "That is worse for us, that new guild is a complete mystery to us. The only thing we know was their name that they intentionally leaked."
"Fck!!!!" the guild master shouted and slammed his foot on the ground. "Shit! I thought that our time had finally come, but the hell happened here."
He did not know why this situation occurred. It all started with the abyss baking away from the city. Everyone in Razor was happy that day, after all, when Abyss backed away it mean they were most likely to become the top guild to rule in the city.
He looked at the elite leader and said, "this is not how we imagine things to become?"
The Elite leader sighed at the guild master. He had the same feeling, composing himself. "Sir, I don't think going up is good. Should we discuss this with Abyss?"
He turned to the elite with red eyes. "This is our chance to get out of Abyss's influence."
The elite leader looked into his eyes, "We might get annihilated there," said, pointing to the cave mine.
He stared at the elite leader with red eyes. "Nope, we will lose everything if it was not Abyss. There is no choice here. We got cornered in this situation. fck it, there is only one way," saying that, he started moving up and said loudly, "Let's see who we are dealing with."
The elite leader stared at his guild master. He was not sure about this decision, but as the guild master said, there was nothing else they could do at this point.
"Let moved," the elite leader announced to all the players behind them.
'If only I could find the reason behind those noble families not supporting us.' the guild master thought to himself. He knew that nobles also stopped supporting Abyss.
He suspected all of this had some relation with that new guild who planned to attack the abyss. He just wanted to find who the fck had so much power to affect all the nobles in the city.
He increased his pace and the player behind him did the same.
….
A few mins early in the slums, a piece of hot news traveled to the ears of every player in the slum.
"Hey did you hear some lunatics attack the Razor's cave mine? "
"Nah, those guys were just some poor beggars from another city."
"I know Razor are simps, but man, they went for the hole this time."
"Yeah, I heard they did not have any equipment."
"I saw Razor's 2nd squad going up. Do you think it would be over soon?"
"Yeah, no way few players can go against that large squad."
"yeah…"
"I don't think that will be the case at all. You know those guys have some crazy bomb with them." One of the players said in the group.
All of them turned to him. "How do you know?"
He stared up at the other and said, "I was in the line when all of this started."
"Woah really,"
"Tell us what happens."
Many slum players surround him.
"Do they not wear the equipment?"
"Yeah, they don't have any equipment, but I don't think it is because they were weak."
"Why you said that?"
"You know me and many other brothers wanted to go back to the mine to see the situation, but then…" he started shaking.
"Then what ?? "
"b… Vlast. Blast."
"Blast!! We heard loud blasts one after another. That scared the shit out of us and we ran away. But you see when I was about to walk out of the forest, I heard one more blast. Like for fck sake, I was so far away from the mine cave but still heard that sound," he shivered, saying.
All the players looked at him with suspicion in their eyes.
