《Emperor Saga》Chapter 21 : Tag Team
Advertisement
Here you go, one more chapter, thanks for reading. It still not proofread, sorry(I feel I make many grammar mistake in this chapter lol)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Why did you keep a ruined potion in the wagon? Obviously it was your fault."
"Why did you mindlessly serve some liquid you saw in the wagon? It was your fault."
A few moments ago they were the best comrades but now Chrono and Aramis were arguing like they were sworn enemies. Both put the blame on each other. While they were busy with arguing, Oroviath recovered from the shock of seeing its sub bosses die one by one in front of its own eyes while receiving the same poison. Because it’s a boss class monster, it didn't die but its health was reduced to 30% while its stats were reduced to 50%.
In Emperor Saga, poisonous food is extremely fatal. But using it to hunt is impossible because no monster would eat food cooked by a user unless there was a pact made like in Oroviath’s case. And there was no way to know what a ruined potion’s effect is until it is tasted, Oroviath and its 5 sub bosses were extremely unlucky when the ruined potion’s effect was super effective against them.
Orovath went into a frenzy when it realized the situation. The pact between The Guardian of the Kramoris Mountain Range and the BloodBrothers was officially broken.
GRAAARGHHHH!!!!
Trting!!
By slaying the guardian dearest underling in front of it, the pact between Oroviath and the BloodBrothers are officially cancel.Now the guardian would hunt every single BloodBrothers member to avenge its underling.
"(Crap)"
"Aramis, it was your fault, you should deal with it."
"What? It was YOUR FAULT!!"
'Fake Death'
Without speaking further, Chrono heartlessly became a 'corpse' making the guardian only target Aramis.
"You bastard!"
Oroviath was not the only enemy, thousands of lesser minions also became hostile once the sub bosses were slain. Even though it's night-time, Aramis still can't fight the level 900 guardian while defending against thousands of Oroviath’s minions alone.
When Oroviath and its minions focused their attention on Aramis, Chrono rose from his corpse form and activated 'Walking Death' just in case Oroviath and the surrounding minions noticed him. He walked towards Thorin, in the opposite direction of Aramis’s battle against Oroviath.
"SCUMBAG!!"
Aramis screamed in frustration looking at Chrono going further away from the battle scene.
"(I'm sorry Aramis, I need to do this.)"
Chrono finally reached Thorin and he deactivated 'Walking Death' soon after.
"(Thorin, let’s go.)"
HYAAHH!!
Instead of steering Thorin away from the battle, Chrono rode on Thorin, with the wagon attached to its back, towards the battle scene with full speed. At full speed, Thorin was unstoppable Oroviath minions couldn’t even get near them. Chrono didn't even put out the fire from the wagon kitchen setting the left side of the wagon ablaze with fire. Chrono continued to ride Thorin at full speed towards Oroviath.

"Aramis, Dodge!"
Once he got close enough, Chrono slashed the ties connecting Thorin and the wagon while steering Thorin to the left while the wagon continued heading towards Oroviath at full speed.
'Wagon Crash!!'
The blaze from the wagon added damage to the speedy crash. The wagon was destroyed while Oroviath was dealt tremendous damage. But it was still not enough to slay the level 900 guardian boss monster. Chrono picked up Aramis while riding on Thorin as the wagon crashed into Oroviath’s body. Thorin needed to keep moving to avoid getting attacked by Oroviath’s minions.
"I thought you were going to run."
"Never mind that, we need to get out of this situation. It's easy to run, but the guardian will hunt us once it recovers."
"I have one last trump card but I need time to execute it."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Once they were done talking, Oroviath was already on their tail. Even with 50% stat, the guardian’s speed was only slightly below Thorin’s. Thankfully Chrono’s0 cunning way of steering Thorin confused the guardian and made sure the guardian’s attacks didn’t connect.
Because it was harder to dodge Oroviath’s attacks while having 2 people on its back, Aramis got down from Thorin while Chrono continued to draw the guardian’s attention. Both Chrono and Aramis didn't even talk, their chemistry was good enough to make them understand each other without a word.
WOOSSHH!!!
You hit the target
While riding the speedy Thorin, Chrono occasionally threw a spear to chip the guardian’s health even by a bit. He steered Thorin left and right dodging Oroviath’s attacks while occasionally throwing a spear when he saw the chance. With Thorin’s speed, the spear’s power was increased by half. If Chrono was fighting a normal boss monster instead of the level 900 guardian monster, Chrono’s spear throw empowered by Thorin’s speed might already pierced the boss’ body and concluded the battle.
Unlike a horse, Thorin has strong legs and mighty claws enabling it to run on any terrain without dropping its speed. Rock, grass, marsh, none can drop Thorin’s speed. Thorin can even run on vertical terrain by gripping the terrain with its strong claws. And finally, Thorin wings are small but it was enough to fly for at least 3 seconds making it easy for Chrono to jump from high places.
Trting!!
By riding your pet while fighting, you gained a skill 'Knight Rider'
"(A skill, bet it's something good but I can’t check the skill abilities in the current situation.)"
Chrono continued to ride Thorin, running around Oroviath while dodging and throwing a spear occasionally. Since Aramis needed to defend himself against Oroviath’s minions while preparing his trump card, it took more time to prepare his trump card.

**********
The onlookers’ side
"Mwuahahahaha!!! Now they attack the guardian!!"
"Leader, get a hold of yourself, we need to help Chrono and Aramis."
"Hahahaha!! They can die for all I care. Hahaha!!!"
"Maybe it's too shocking for the leader, guys help me."
As Sitka was looking at the other 3 high ranking BloodBrothers members, she saw the high ranking members were either crying, dumbfounded or petrified by the current development.
*Hic* "Our clan’s protector." *Hic*
"Our clan’s future......if they don't slay Oroviath, it will hunt us and if by some chance they slay Oroviath, the next guardian will only spawn after 3 months and we would need to make a new pact and the guardian will be a lot weaker too."
".................................."
"(It seems I'm the only sane person here.)"
Without Oroviath’s protection, BloodBrothers are vulnerable against attacks by the authorities, it seems Chrono and Aramis’s mistake may have brought about the clan’s demise.
*************
Chrono continued drawing Oroviath’s attention while chipping away at the guardian’s health little by little with his spear throw. Thankfully, Thorin showed no sign of being tired of running, it seems Thorin’s stamina is quite high. After almost two hours, Aramis had finally readied his trump card.
"It’s ready!!"
Once he heard the word 'ready', Chrono steered Thorin towards Aramis while Oroviath chased closely behind him.
"(Why did he take THIS long?)"
Aramis had never actually used his trump card since he felt it was cowardly and the price was too high for him. Because of that, it was harder for him to remember assembling the parts of his trump card, the trademark of the musketeer, a weapon belonging to the strongest weapon category in Emperor Saga.
The Musket
Belonging to the gun category, a weapon category which damage is considered broken by many users and the prices have been at the top for 10 years. Chrono steered Thorin towards Aramis while Aramis aimed the musket towards Oroviath just behind Chrono.
"(Here you go my one and only 10 gold bullet.)"
BANG!!!
Groagghhh!!
By unleashing the bullet, Aramis’s body was knocked back while Oroviath was dealt tremendous damage but the guardian still didn't die. Now Aramis was in the more dangerous position since he had aggravated Oroviath and he didn't have a speedy pet to ride like Chrono. Realizing the situation, Chrono turned back and faced Oroviath.
"(I heard inside of its mouth is an acid corrosive enough to kill me instantly, need to avoid that.)"
Chrono charged at Oroviath with full speed, he held Grave tightly with his right hand preparing for the final assault.
GROAGH!!
Oroviath didn't back down, as if to retain its dignity as the guardian, Oroviath charged at Chrono with full speed. When Oroviath got closer, Chrono bravely jumped from Thorin while holding Grave with both of his hands towards Oroviath’s eye.
'Soul Blade'
At the last moment, Chrono activated soul blade, a broken skill that can ignore defence. The speedy Thorin charged and Chrono’s jump was great enough to make Chrono’s body fly to Oroviath’s eyes and stab the eye with Grave. The impact was great enough to inflict a huge amount of damage to Oroviath. Chrono didn't stop there, he was determined to slay the guardian here, Chrono cast a skill he had never used before.
'Abaddon Kiss'
Thousands of souls came out from Grave and attacked Oroviath rapidly for 10 seconds. In those 10 seconds, Oroviath was busy dealing with thousands of souls’ attacks. Chrono took this chance to attack further.
'Ragnarok'
The sword pierced through Oroviath’s body impaling it. The sword didn't make Oroviath completely helpless but the guardian’s speed dropped by almost 80% by fighting with 'Ragnarok stuck in its body. Aramis joined in the attack by attacking relentlessly with his rapier keeping Oroviath busy.
Chrono took out a heavy spear from the portal and thrust it in Oroviath’s eyes. He continued taking out heavy spears from the portal and thrust them into Oroviath’s eyes until the guardian was completely hopeless. Both Chrono and Aramis held their respective swords with both of their hands to thrust tino Oroviath for the final attack.
""HYAAAH!!!""
You party have slain The Guardian Monster, Oroviath
"One down, thousand more to go. Aramis, don't give up."
"Don’t intend to!"
""WE WILL FIGHT TO DEATH!!""
Even with Oroviath gone, thousands of Oroviath’s minions still surrounded Chrono and Aramis. Thorin was already exhausted by the constant running, it can protect itself but breaking away from the thousands of minions surrounding them while giving Chrono and Aramis a ride was currently an impossible task.
********
"I have made my decision, we can’t recover the guardian and the kids are brave enough to fight the guardian despite their low level which is something to praise. Troublesome brothers still are our brothers, lets help them."
"(It seems the leader has already recovered from the shock.)"
"Yeah, let’s do our job as the big brothers."
Jurek’s party charged towards Chrono and Aramis’s location intending to save them.
The big Brothers have come.

One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
