Meanwhile, Robert's group was causing an entirely different uproar near the entrance of the Cave.
"Fu**! Motherf****!" Robert was causing chaos outside the entrance of Vulcan Cave for an entirely different matter. They still hadn't left the area, searching still for Lucia. Unaware that the girl was already miles away and had already regrouped with Silvia and the others in a different village.
Robert kept stomping his feet against the sand while cursing nonstop.
On the other hand, Trixie's face couldn't be painted. Her expression was in denial that Silvia beat her again. What would she tell her friends? She'd be the gossip and favorite topic in their social circle again.
The embarrassment was too much that she couldn't show her face until the rumor died down. That meant no bar hopping and partying for at least a month!
Trixie clutched her hair and screamed at the top of her lungs. "AaArgH!"
The two couples had utterly lost their mind, and their group member took distance from them, afraid they would be associated with two crazy people. Some even logged out to avoid the embarrassment.
"Wait . . ." Robert suddenly muttered under his breath when he remembered something. They still have Vulcan's map. They could sell it online, so they didn't have to come out from this raid empty-handed.
That map was surely a hundred percent by now after they entered Vulcan's room!
Quickly checking the map on his screen, Robert's heart pounded hard against his rib cage, and his vessel almost popped at the number plastered on Vulcan's Map.
99% Complete.
On another part of the map, Scar regrouped in a newbie village near Vulcan's Cave. He wanted to enter the Cave again to make up for his blunder. And this time, they were ready and had enough [Mana Potion] to last them throughout the fight.
He even changed their line-up, bringing some of the core members with him.
However, the notification booming in the Sky announcing Golden Phoenix claiming firstblood made his mind blank out. It was like his world quaked and fell into ruins.
He was the leader of Black Lion. He was the face of the guild. He was a Pro player, and yet . . . a bunch of girls defeated him? A bunch of noobs?
How did that happen?!
Scar couldn't wrap his mind around it. Silvia should have zero chance of defeating the Boss. Not when Robert betrayed them. And yet, they did.
What miracles did they do? How many gods have they prayed to achieve it?!
It was supposed to be impossible for them because even he had a hard time with the Boss.
After expending a good amount of Potions, Mana and men, they finally reduced Vulcan's HP to near zero. They were so close to defeating it when it suddenly entered [Berserk] Mode, and every last one of them got wiped out.
It was impossible to predict that Boss when in that mode, and all their spells and skills couldn't land against it because it was too fast.
How on earth did they manage to defeat it?
Suddenly, the man in the hood appeared in Scar's mind, and he gritted his teeth.
"Scar . . ." Guro carefully approached their leader. Even though Scar still portrayed his amiable appearance, his fists were shaking. "What do we do now?"
Scar closed his eyes tight and took a deep breath, calming himself. If only they could replay their gameplay so they could formulate a strategy, but that feature wasn't available yet.
"I'll contact Evie. Have Invayne draft a contract for her and send it to me quickly." The only way to regain face at this humiliation was to clear the Cave in Nightmare or Sadistic Mode, and for that, he needed Evie to spill every detail of the fight and how Golden Phoenix managed to defeat Vulcan.
Golden Phoenix getting firstblood wouldn't be such a big deal if only he weren't the one leading Black Lion into the same raid.
And now, Silvia's group got more than firstblood. They were recognized as the guild who defeated Black Lion, who defeated Scar, on the same raid and that took a blow to his pride.
Damn it!
Scar gnashed his teeth. He couldn't just let this go knowing that it would be the talk of the town.
He had to regain his prestige and restore the guild's name.
[Scar: Evie, before you leave their group, make sure to ask how they defeated Vulcan and make sure to acquire a single item for the team. The contract is waiting upon your return]
. . .
. . .
A minute passed, but still, Evie hadn't replied.
Scar was beginning to get worried, so he up his offer.
[Scar: A ten thousand bonus upon signing is waiting for you and your monthly salary and allowance is negotiable depending on the information you bring into the guild]
[Evie is typing . . .]
Scar released a breath when Evie was finally online.
[Scar: Remember to try your luck and aim for the staff or spellbook from the loots]
Though the percentage of that happening was near zero, Scar was hoping that Silvia and the others were too happy and hung up at getting firstblood, and their euphoria caused them to give anything to Evie as a reward.
However, Scar's eyes bulged, and he turned into stone when he was caught off guard at Evie's reply.
It wasn't even a message!
It was just four words!
[Evie had blocked you!]
