Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 168
Advertisement
Kazuki rumpled his hair for quite a while. In just an hour, 5 out of his 6 target dungeons have been cleared and it was just a minute clear without much effort, leaving them with no possibility to clear the dungeon's best clearance. Not only that, he lost the chance to claim those dungeons as the personal dungeons for his guild.
"How the f*ck does these raiders kill the guards we placed in the dungeon entrance and clear the dungeons like it was nothing for them? And under 5 minutes?! Did they do some cheating or something?"
"According to the response from the customer service of the game after we reported them as cheaters, they already confirmed that they are not cheating and was using legitimate way to clear the dungeons they were in."
Kazuki has no more patience in what is happening and decided he would take action on this. Since the last dungeon he was guarding is still not showing any signs of being attacked and is the farthest dungeons compared to the other dungeons, he is sure the raiders are not yet there.
He opened his guild announcement. Every player in his guild will be able to read this once he publishes it and he made sure to make this announcement enticing for everyone in his guild that they won't hesitate to rush towards the venue just to get the award.
[Everyone in the guild who are not busy/free/ has nothing to do should help to guard the dungeon, [Graveyard of the Corrupted Dryads]. We will be expecting raiders planning to raid the dungeon and claim its first clear and fastest clear time. Those who will be able to kill the raiders or even kill a single one of them will receive one from the following of their choice. (2 million Gold, Level 80 Very Rare Set of any class, Experience potions supply that will last for a month).
That day, the Burning Dragon guild members became too hyped that everyone who has read the announcement didn't hesitate to rush towards the aforementioned dungeon and waited for the dungeon entrance. This will become a hot topic but not because of how fast they were deployed but because of a different reason.
...
"How many do you think were positioned there, Lina? Can you at least estimate their numbers?" I asked Lina after we arrived near the entrance of the last dungeon that Kazuki is eyeing to clear, [Graveyard of the Corrupted Dryads].

"Hmm, my estimation is that they are around 70 or more. That is my rough calculation of their numbers," Lina answered.
"Wow, their guild leader was finally taking things to the extreme, they are already deploying so many players in one dungeon!" Topaz said after seeing the number of players gathered at the entrance of the [Graveyard of the Corrupted Dryads].
"Isn't this going to be a real problem? We don't have much problem in previous dungeons since they are small in numbers and they were pretty weak. But now, they already ramp up their numbers a lot and some are fully equipped and some are quite a money spender! I don't think our way to get there will be much easier now," Iron said after observing the situation.
"Yes. Our usual strategy won't work anymore but that doesn't mean we won't be able to win. I already anticipated that their guild leader will do this kind of trick to bar us from clearing the dungeon."
"You already formulated a plan, Master?" Lina asked.
"Of course. And I am confident enough we can pull this off just like before. I won't plan to lose on sheer numbers."
I entered [Stealth] state and jump towards the nearest tree. After landing on the branch quietly, the rest is much easier. I landed near the players but no one noticed my stealth state. It looks like no one has a very high perceptive sense to notice my presence in the area.
The players are busy talking to each other while looking around for anyone suspicious. I can tell that their way of guarding the entrance is half-hearted and they are not dedicated to the job. They are very easy to deal with.
I opened my skill tab and checked out most of the Saboteur class skills I have learned so far. All of them are sufficient and I don't need to learn any skills to perform the task easily.
Using the [Blueprint Materialization], I made an elaborate but easy to trigger a trap that one wrong move and everyone in this area will not be safe from it. After the making of the most elaborate trap that anyone can create, I lightly throw the blueprint to the ground and it materialized immediately. Since it needed to be activated, I didn't have to worry about activating the trap at the wrong time.

Once the trap was already in place, I also used the [Invisible Wire] all around the place. Since my mana regeneration and mana consumption is pretty much broken, no matter how long the thread I use, the amount of mana consumed is not a problem and I can recover it in just a few seconds of staying still.
I don't know if the players are just too blind to see me or my ability to go into [Stealth] mode is very professional that I can work into a spy agency and become the "Ghost Employee". Deploying everything was just too smooth that I wanted to grin at my evilness.
Once everything is in place and are ready, I returned to Leona by doing the same jumps I did earlier to go down.
"Are you done, Bladeheart? Just what were you doing earlier below?" Iron asked.
"Just deploying sabotage plan that they will not forget," I grinned and pulled out a small popping firecracker, an item that is used to lure enemies to the sounds. Once it is thrown to the ground, it will produce a popping sound that will entice any enemy to investigate the sound and in turn will allow you to do the stealth kill.
POP!
CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE!
The sound was too loud that everyone at the entrance of the dungeon immediately pulled out their weapons from where they were putting them. However, the moment they did, my trap sprang up. The ground that they were previously standing on suddenly opened like a big mouth and swallowed every single player standing in the area. Those who managed to notice it in time also tried to escape by dashing out. However, before they can fully dash out, a thread blocks their way, canceling their dash, and knock them back. However, once they get knocked, they will go straight to my trap without escape. Once every one of the players fell to the trap, my little trap activated again and closed.
When it did, my status immediately turns to red. However, I am the only one who can see my red status, Iron and Topaz will not be able to see it due to the effect of my title, [Famous Incognito]. Unless I show them the status intentionally, they won't be able to see it. I opened my inventory and drank the Crime Cleansing Potion and grinned.
"PK, COMPLETE!"
All 70+ players who were waiting for our arrival were crushed to death by my trap. The trap that I deployed has a condition to activate that will activate only once a player pulls out their weapon or ready them to battle stance. The ground will open up, revealing a small hole enough for all of them to fall into. There are no spikes or anything that will kill them once they fall. However, I never said they won't die once they are on the ground. Since the ground was forcefully opened, the ground that split apart is still there. Once the trap closes, the ground will return to normal.
Since there are also players underneath, the moment they will be caught in the trap, they will be crushed to their deaths. No matter how tough your defense, how high your HP, or how you cast a skill that will make you invincible, the moment the trap closes, they will be dead, no one will survive. Now, we are open to clear the last dungeon that Kazuki has his eyes on.
"Let's proceed before backup arrived, shall we?"
...
The gaming forums exploded when the members of the Burning Dragon guild were annihilated without them knowing who the assailants are. The other players were also not expecting someone will fight against the Burning Dragon like this. Since the other guilds that were created alongside Burning Dragon declined their involvement in the situation, everyone easily guessed that the player who is causing these attacks are a group that is not affiliated with any of the guilds.
A video about the situation appeared too which was filmed by one of the players who were killed from the trap that Bladeheart made was posted. That day, the Burning Dragon suffered a big defeat that humiliated the Guild Leader to the point of going berserk around his guild office. It also rose to the question that many players started to speculate.
"Who are these players capable of making a huge guild fell to its knees in just a few hours?"
