Inside the forest, Razor guild reached the halfway mark and then a blast occurred a few meters away from the path they were on.
Bam!
Razor guild master and elite leader stared at the blast for a few mins then they ignored it and continued to move up.
Bam!
Another blast occurred as they moved. Bam!
and then once again.
Bam!
Every next blast decreased the morale of players behind the guild master.
"Fck, who are you? Show us." As he shouted, no one reply came, instead, another blast occurred.
He punched a nearby tree with a frustrated look on his face. He understood the reason behind these blasts, but even knowing all that, he did not dare to send any search team deep into the forest.
There might be other traps waiting for them and these side blasts posed no problem, he did not want to fall for these side tricks that the attacker used on them. He did not want to lose more members before even encountering the attacker.
The elite leader shouted at the player, "Ignore all these cheap tricks and continued to move." Guild master looked at him and both of them increased their speed.
Players behind them had pale scared looks on their faces but they continued to follow their leaders. As they were about to reach the cave, they heard.
Woooooo BABBBBYYY….
It was not the blast sound but instead someone's screaming voice. Many did not hear it at first, but slowly all the players picked up that noise.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Are they torturing some players there?"
"Hey, it is our guild players."
"Maybe the second team."
"shut up!" the guild master shouted at them in annoyance. "Stop talking nonsense."
He moved up and then the sound of a drum beat started coming.
"What the fck going on there?" Mumbling to himself rushed out of the forest and the moment he came out he almost fell on his face from the scene in front of him.
Looking at one another, the Razor guild player also rushed to the cave. The closer they move to the cave, the more clear the voice became.
The razor guild player came out of the forest one after another and all of them had their mouth wide open in shock.
'When I am with you, nothing else matters.
When I'm with you, everything is better.'
'What the hell' All of them had collective thoughts as they saw 5 players screaming a rock song in front of them.
Boom Bum
The drum beat was furious and energetic, matching the intensity of the guitar riff.
The drum beat matched the heart rate, attracting all of their attention.
Then the guitar with thunder and lighting shook the ground and electrified the air.
All the Razor players felt their mouths drying up.
And then the second verse started with Mike singing.
'You're the light in my eyes, you are the music in my ears.'
Mike looked at the sun with such a clear voice, all-around player felt the pain in his voice.
'You're the beat of my heart, you're the reason I'm here.'
Mike moved his hand closer to the chest and Boom dam.
Drum ride on the people's heartbeat. The guitar went to smooth like low breath coming out of their mouth.
All the players just went lost in the song and forget the surrounding. They started grooving.
And then
Dum dum dum dum,.
Drum beats raised guitar flared lighting in the air. The player's heartbeat increased trying to compete with the beat, wanting to achieve back that synergy.
Then came that deep, low sound from Mike that gripped their heart.
'You make me feel alive, make me feel so good.'
Tak cheeeeeen.
The beat changed and the guitar went out of sync.
Drum and guitar started competing against one another! The Hell broke loose.
It became harsher to the ears, but the heart rate still climbed up.
'You make me screammmm, you make me wanna rockkkkkkkk'
Mike screamed, sending them in shock, and causing goosebumps in all the players.
Dhuk dhak dhak dhak!
The heart came to their mouth, and the intensity of it dominated over the sound of guitar and drum.
All the Razors grabbed their chest, trying to control their heart. Thier eyes expanded to max size.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A massive blast complementing the scream happened behind the band.
The blast was so loud that it ruptured the ears of all the players there. The shock of the blast sent them flying.
From the band to the razor guild members, all of them were on the ground.
Buzzzzzz... with buzzing in their head.
But then they felt the mana fluctuation. Looking up, they found a player on the tree with a guitar in his hand, and with each of his hand movements, a mana wave flowed out to them.
None of them knew how it sounded, but they felt mana on their skin. It was like Mana was dancing to that guitar sound, that scene, and the feeling got etched in their mind. They could not forget this scene that happened in front of them.
They saw his mouthing moving, but no sound registered in their ears. All of them regretted not being able to hear the sound on with even mana dance.
Grave placed the guitar on the side and bowed down to all the shocked players. 'Thank god they are temporary def. That shit sounds so bad,' he thought as he placed the guitar in his inventory.
Slowly, the players' ears got healed, and they heard a loud laugh.
"Haha, you guys really do a rocking ."
Grave clapped at the band members. All five of them had red faces. Looking at the Razors' players around them, they rushed to his side.
The Razors player just stared at him with a lost look on their face.
He ignored them and looked at the band. "You really opened my eyes to the music, guys," Grave said with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, team leader no need to butter up so much," Mike said, scratching his head.
"Haha" Grave laughed at that. It was an out-of-the-world performance. Fck, he never expected these guys to be so good. Their music had the power to make others lost in that sound.
'Mmm, it really a crazy talent,' he thought, staring at them with a shine in his eyes. With their crazy talent, these would become something dangerous in the future.
'It looks like they also were too strong to be left alone,' Grave thought to himself. He knew from his last life that guild and government work on simple policy, either they get control or they destroyed it.
After seeing their performance, he was sure that these guys really would get game-changing power at the moment Liberty gave them Discovery class.
Grave felt more pressure. He wanted to hide and become stronger in the shadows, but with Blaze attacking, it would be impossible. Now he knew that the band had far more potential than he thought.
He knew that he might become the center of attraction in the main event and with the guild that was destined to break. He understood that once Abyss broke, it would not have what it take to handle the pressure from others and he would lose this umbrella protection.
"Bastard, come out of your dream." A scream from the Razor guild masters woke him and the other players out of their thought.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about the future. He turned to the Razors and started at the 2 players who were standing at the front.
Both of them were level 50 players. They just need to clear the trial and become tier 1, then they could move to the next city. They were the backbone of the Razor guild.
He stared at them. He did not have much information about Razor, but from all the little he know about he was sure that anyone that could work with Abyss was not normal.
As he stared at Razor guild master, the guild master stared back at him. There was a moment of silence and the elite team leader asked from the side, "Are you the one behind the cave mine attack?"
Grave smiled at him and said, "Oh sorry for the late introduction guys, but how do you like the welcome ceremony my team performed?"
Razor guild master looked at him and then at the smoke coming out of the mine. He asked him in a calm tone, "Why do you do that? We do nothing to you?"
Grave raised his eyebrow at this composed answer. He stared at him but only saw the red eyes that he knew had a 90% chance that was acting. He knew Razors were on their last leg and this mine had a very vital role.
Even in this situation, the guy had a calm tone, he smiled at Razor master, "Interesting, really interesting."
This guy was really not simple. Grave licked his lips, and a crazy, wide smile formed on his face. He asked him, "Do you know me? "
Razor guild master stared into his eyes and said the next moment taking no time, "You are the current city representative of Abyss."
Hearing that he understood this guy recognized the guild he was from, all the other extra titles had no value to the Razor guild master.
"Mm well, that's good." nodding his head Grave asked, "I want to talk with you so I called you here."
He saw blood coming out from the side of Razor guild master's mouth, 'oh did I overestimate him or is this also a trick.' he thought to himself.
ραпdα n?νa| сom Razor guild master said in a heavy tone, "Can we talk at the side?"
Grave nodded his head. "Sure no problem."
Grave said to the band, "Join others and walked back to the city."
The band member looked at him and then at the Razors players who were staring at them.
Grave smiled at them and said, pointing to the Razor guild master, "Don't worry, our friend here is smart."
