Chapter 591 Game Update!
Villain Ch 591. Game Update!
The clash erupted with a fierce intensity that echoed through the hall. The Mystic Sentinels and Phoenix Reborn advanced upon Allen's group with strategic precision. However, the seemingly impenetrable defense was about to crumble beneath Allen and his team.
Within moments, chaos ensued. Allen unleashed the power of Dark Storm and Hell Inferno, the devastating spells tearing through the carefully arranged enemy ranks like a hurricane. Then he moved, utilizing his Shadow Step to appear behind the crucial healers, swiftly eliminating them before they could react.
His companions seamlessly executed their roles. Jane created openings in the enemy lines, while Shea and Zoe strategically targeted key players to disrupt the cohesion of the opposing forces. Vivian wreaked havoc among the ranged attackers.
The entire skirmish unfolded like a well-choreographed dance. The guilds that had once boasted impeccable battle formations now found themselves disoriented and overwhelmed.
Once the last remnants of the opposing force faded away, Allen surveyed the battlefield. With a nonchalant gesture, he opened a portal back to the Cursed Crypts.
Logging off, Allen swiveled in his chair, taking a brief pause and he reached for his smartphone. Quickly, he opened his messaging app and swiftly composed a message to Kafra.
Allen: Afternoon, Kafra. Quick one for you. If we're incognito, can we send party invites to other players?
The familiar ping of a reply echoed through the room, and Allen's screen illuminated with Kafra's response.
Kafra: Yes, you can. We rolled out an update last week, didn't you catch that?
Allen's brows knitted for a moment. 'An update? Was there a memo about this?' he pondered, mentally sifting through the recent events. The DNA test loomed large in his memory, overshadowing any game-related updates.
Another message took shape under Allen's nimble fingers.
Allen: Just wanted to double-check. Must've missed that in the shuffle. Sounds too good to be true.
The truth was, Allen missed the email, but a touch of humility seemed appropriate. Also, previously, he thought it was only for the players, not for them.
Kafra: Now you've got your answer. Just remember, once you return to Cursed Crypts or shift back to your original form, the party will break automatically, and the player will be out of the group. Also, you've got to be the one extending the invite, can't be the other way around.
Allen: Got it! Thanks a bunch!
After the chat with Kafra, Allen decided to delve into his emails, scrolling down to find the specific one Kafra was referring to. There it was, the game update announcement that had slipped through his attention during the busy week of DNA testing and other matters. As he perused the update, he found himself pleasantly surprised.
The changes were intriguing, centering around the interactions between villains like him and the rest of the player base. One notable update allowed them to join the player community in various activities, such as hunting, selling items, and even setting up their own stalls. It was a game-changer for Allen and the girls, providing a new dimension to their gameplay.
The prospect of hunting alongside players while in disguise excited him. Also, the update mentioned that they would get more materials, loot, and rare items. This was a welcomed enhancement, amplifying the thrill of their in-game experiences. The update fostered a sense of integration between villains and players, blurring the lines of traditional roles in the game.
The newfound ability to sell items and participate in the market was equally appealing. Allen envisioned a more dynamic approach to their in-game economy, with potential benefits for their progression.
Overall, the update promised a richer and more engaging gaming experience. Allen couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, eager to explore these new possibilities and leverage them for the benefit of his group.
Allen's frown deepened as he scrutinized the phone screen, muttering under his breath, "Why don't I feel like we're getting more loot lately?" The glow of the display reflected off his focused expression, his thoughts momentarily consumed by their in-game loot.
Yet, the irony wasn't lost on him. Their increasing demands for gears and upgrades paralleled the supposed boost in loot. It was a cycle of necessity and expenditure, where the appetite for advancement masked the actual impact of the recent changes. The group's insatiable needs obscured the positive effects of the update, leaving them in a perpetual quest for more.
Setting the phone aside, Allen decided to take a brief hiatus, both to take a bathroom break and indulge in some hydration. After a short break, he slipped back into his VR device, returning to Hell's Gate.
Upon his return, Shea, Zoe, Vivian, Jane, Bella, Alice, and Larissa were all present and ready for action. The camaraderie within the group was palpable as Allen, now online, faced a barrage of curious inquiries. "How is it?" Shea questioned, her anticipation evident.
With a confident thumbs up and a mischievous grin, Allen announced, "We can do it. It was in the last game update." The revelation sparked a shared excitement among the group.
"Woohoo!" they shouted in unison, expressing euphoria.
Vivian couldn't contain her excitement. "So where should we recruit our member?" she asked, eager to embark on this new venture.
Bella chimed in with a suggestion, "Should we ask one of the famous guild's healers?" The idea had merit, considering the potential prowess of an experienced healer associated with a renowned guild.
Alice, known for her quick wit and sarcasm, had a different proposal. "Should we ask Sophia?" she suggested, a playful tone underlining her words.
However, Zoe interjected with a cringe. "It won't be a normal hunt session," she cautioned, recognizing the potential chaos that recruiting Sophia might entail.
Allen, wearing a skeptical expression, voiced his reservations about Sophia's suitability. "I don't think Sophia can join us. She already has a lot of guild lists for her hunt, remember?" No, he didn't want to hunt with Sophia again for whatever reason. He could guess it would not be a hunt but a disaster.
In the midst of the brainstorming session, Larissa suggested recruiting a new member. "So, we should recruit one, then. Should we go to Ront City?" she proposed, eyeing the bustling hub of player activity.
However, Allen countered, "We should try Debaris. That city is full of high-level players. At least we have to recruit people who are at our level." His rationale for selecting Debaris City over Ront City resonated with the group.
With a decisive nod from Alice, the decision was made. "He's right. Next stop, Debaris City!"
The group proceeded to the portal room. Disguised in their alter appearances, they blended seamlessly with the diverse crowd of players populating the city. Allen took charge of recruiting the healer while the girls dispersed to explore and identify potential candidates for their venture.
They could hear the murmurs and whispers of other players buzzing around them. The air was rife with rumors about the devil emperor and his notorious subordinates, who had recently been spotted in the Black Castle's Hall. However, a collective sigh of relief echoed through the group at the revelation that the emperor was no longer present in the vicinity.
Allen, in particular, experienced a subtle sense of relief. Having just returned from the Black Castle's Hall, he was spared facing those players again, at least for the moment. He wanted to concentrate on his material hunt.
For the past five minutes, Allen had been stationed near the gate with a sign that read, "Looking for Healer – High-Level Players Only." The streets of Debaris City were bustling with activity, and the occasional passerby would stop to inspect the sign.
Three healers, enticed by the proposition, approached Allen with curiosity gleaming in their eyes. The exchange of questions and answers commenced, as the potential recruits sought more information about the impending adventure. However, as soon as Allen mentioned their destination – the Black Castle's Hall – a noticeable hesitancy crept into their faces.
The healers, contemplating the significance of the location, immediately retracted their interest. Black Castle's Hall was renowned for its treacherous challenges, and the mere mention of it seemed to discourage the prospective healers, especially since Allen wasn't from a famous guild. They harbored reservations about the severity of the upcoming quest and questioned whether Allen's group was adequately prepared for such a daunting task.
Despite Allen's efforts to assure them, the notion of venturing into the perilous hall seemed to be a deal-breaker for these healers.
Bella uttered resignedly, "I guess we have to hunt without a healer after all," a collective sigh of disappointment seemed to linger in the air.
Allen, sharing the sentiment, nodded in agreement, muttering, "I agree, this is a waste of time."
Zoe, expressing her frustration with a huff, added, "Let's go," signaling their intention to proceed with their quest despite the absence of a healer.
But an unexpected voice disrupted their resigned atmosphere. A soft and gentle tone reached Allen's ears as a healer materialized in front of him. The healer spoke with a touch of eagerness, "May I join your party?"
