Morning came much faster than Alex had expected. When the alarm rang, he was deep in his sleep until Emma came to pull it out.
It was time for their morning run. For days, they have been strictly following Nexus's schedule for training and building up their strength.After the run which lasted 30 minutes, they returned home for their physical exercises. By 7am, all exercises were done, they had refreshed and were down for breakfast.As always, Nexus had prepared breakfast but he wasn't waiting for them at the table. This was the first time since they had arrived at their new home Nexus wasn't available for breakfast.“What happened Alex? Did you have a fight with Nexus last night while I was asleep"Alex almost choked on the bacon in his mouth when Emma asked the question “Hell no, why would I? We actually had a nice conversation last night" Alex replied with an evil smile." Oh, what did you guys talk about?” Asked Emma as sheRequesting the blueprint, Emma grinned with excitement as she slid the parchment containing the staff's specifications over to Alex. "According to this, it is a blueprint for an epic level, triple-banded sorcerer's staff in one of my loremaster books! It's called the Staff of the Four Winds or as legends would know it, Aria's Grace. I won't be able to have high enough crafting skill to make it myself even if I switched to the subclass of blacksmith but I was hoping with your master blacksmith ability you could?"Alex studied the ornate blueprints depicting a slender elmwood staff with three shimmering bands of engraved silver and copper winding around it from top to bottom. The bands swirled with delicate leaf and vine filigree. According to the description, when powered with the proper reagents, the staff allowed casting of wind-based spells that normally required group ritual magic. Spells included Whirlwind, Cyclone, and Summon Storm Elemental."Hmm,
What Emma and Alex had in mind to do was popularly known as “Wild Steal". This term was coined after stronger players of a certain set of players would wait for one side which they felt was stronger to take most of the heat and then they would find ways to use their dwindling health as a disadvantage then take the wild boss before they landed the final hit.Three teams were hunting the wild boss Za'gul the Ever-Hungering, they formed a triangle boxing the hulking aberration. Massive serrated pincers gnashed as its soulless white eyes fixed upon the forces assembled around, flanking it ensuring it could not escape. This epic confrontation had taken three of the best squads in each guild and coordination between Elysium Quest's three elite guild squadrons. To the north stood the warriors of The Silver Lion Brigade in gleaming steel-grey armor with cobalt tabards bearing their heraldry. "Steady yourselves!" bellowed their gruff commander Sir Aeri
These were the only ways the battle analysts could figure out its attacks but many were still caught in the crossfire before they would manage to escape. Sometimes, those behind retreating would cause others to flatter because they missed moving at the right time giving Za'gul the perfect timing to hit on them.The Silver Lions suffered greatly but with the help from their partners in the Arcanum Lumiosa and their powerful revive skill, they were able to keep the battle at a steady pace.One would wonder why they would go through the stress of fighting this aberration if it felt so difficult to conquer why not leave sleeping dogs lie? Well the answer to that was pretty simple ‘Loot’.The loot that came from Za’gul's body was something to die for. Once in a month was a very long period for players to wait, so before the respawning time, guilds would make deals with one another to take down the aberration.The loot from the beast was something to di
Triaos immediately contacted the Rhazuul leader of the Arcanum Lumiosa.“Guild Leader, we have a problem” the urgency in Triaos voice was passed over the communication.Rhazuul who wasn't actively fighting, answered immediately "Triaos, you were merely given a small branch to coordinate. Why are you calling me? Don't you have an inkling how busy I am right now? Make sure those mobs don't get past you and interrupt this fight with Za’gul” Rhazuul rudely responds to the call coming from Triaos.Triaos on the other side was stunned hearing Rhazuul’s response. He had played for Arcanum Lumiosa for the past six months, but since he was fixed under Rhazuul's branch, he had been on the brink of explosion.“Leader Rhazuul, our healing mages have been hexed, the members of the Shadows Syndicate have also been hexed, they are currently attacking those from Silver Lions and the battle ground is becoming chaotic. We need help I'm controlling them else the mob
Venom the leader of The Shadows Syndicate suddenly received a call when she took a break to regain her mana and health.“Commander, we've been trying to reach you for a while now" the voice sounded out of breath.“Calm down" Venom said "Explain the situation”."Yes Commander. We suddenly stared getting attacks from the Arcanum Lumiosa. They have wiped more than half the 1000 troops that were on the watch out for respawned mobs along side the substitute troops that would join the battle, we are currently evading attacks firm both sides, because the Silver Lions are also attacking us”.Venom folded a fist in pent up anger as her underling finished the reports. She was so furious that if she were on her own she was going to teach both Rhazuul and Aerindor a bitter lesson.Turning to the resting spot of Arcanum Lumiosa Venom yelled at Rhazuul “Rhazuul, you damned pig, how dare you attack my people on the watch? You think you are might and powerful? If there wasn't an agreement signed with
Aerindor, Venom and Rhazuul were locked in a faceoff, and due to the power of the lightening strike Rhazuul commanded, the attention it drew caused a pause in the attacks of their teams.The battle analysts unlike other players were non combatant and they used classes that allowed them move easily in the battle field to observe and make adjustments when needed so this also reflects that they would need a class that uses cloth armor such as “Rogue Class’ or ‘Thief class’.These two classes bosted of speed, agility and their ability to escape from battle. The battle analysts were usually the first to escape in any battle to avoid losing levels for two reasons.Firstly, grinding back levels was something that was draining and painfully, and there was no way someone else could use you account to power level the character, so everything would have to be done by the players.Secondly, they made use of the best armor that added to spe
“Za'gul?" it was at that moment Venom and Rhazuul discovered that Za'gul whom they had spent a lot of time and resources hunt wasn't in the location anymore.“Whoever did this is trying to move him away" Aerindor said, boiling in anger as placed his shield on his back.“Sub-Class Skill; tracker" he said with bloodshot eyes._____________When the gas filled the entire area, Alex began launching attacks from the rail gun towards the Battle Analysts and Clerics. Those caught within the poison were already ruled off. They were sure to get taken out by Za'gul so he concentrated fire on the others. The Clerics were wide open to attacks, with tow cannon shots from the Railgun, they had been wiped out, the battle analysts were the only ones who gave them tough time because of their mobility but they were all struck down before Alex actively changed his attention to Za'gul.Za'gul whose initial health was almost two million had been whi
The angry roars of Za'gul only gave Alex joy.“Come on, buddy we just got started. There's a whole lot more where that came from, would you love to see another skill? Why am I even asking? I'm pretty sure you do" Alex said laughing.Za'gul roared even louder, almost like it clearly understood Alex was taunting it and he charged forward again this time much faster and aggressive than it previously did.“Oh, oh, oh.” Alex laughed wildly as he was starting to enjoy the battle "This is gonna be fun”Za'gul who's four skills Alex had already observed were nothing but child's play to him so he just simple evaded while Za'gul used Rage to close the gap between them.“Time for another skill. What do you think Za'gul the Ever Hungry?" Alex taunted the angry beast.Preparing to use the second attack in his arsenal, ‘Avalanche Strike’ a skill from the armor Drakina Hail Guard.Fending off Za'gul's horrific snapping mandibles with w
