The Halloween is going to save us all! ( Я лучше сочиняю на английском нежели на русском)
Character: Hyugo
Server: White
Midnight. The pub in the Gludin village was bustling, there was loud music inside and the travelers all around the world gathered to taste the new ale formula invented by the dwarves.
The square of the village was full too, as there was not enough place in the pub some tables were put inside the square and the dwarf-servant was using his rush skill to make it possible to serve all the tables with ales and burgers.
Hyugo, a humble human who was helping the hunters guild to extinct the hunter gargoyles in the dragon valley has teleported to the village. He was up to meet his friend to give her some money for the Soulshots but suddenly he heard someone calling his name.
He turned around - no one.
He ran towards the warehouse but again, his name, someone was calling - he turned around.
- Who is it?
- Don't you see me?! You blind?
- Who is this???!
- Lower..
A dwarf.. haha, Hyugo liked hitting mobs with the dwarves especially the spoilers, but all the dwarves he met were very greedy.
- If you want to hit mobs with me, I am busy now... Need to meet a f...
- I have a business with you. Would you like to taste the new Dwarf-made Ale with me ? My treat!
- What kind of business?
- The kind of business that will help you to get your second sword to dual it
Hyugo's eye went wide... how did he know?
- How do u know that I need a second sword for duals?
- Ah my friend, I got connections... I know you have a samurai long sword in your warehouse in the Gludin and why would a gladiator keep just one sword and not sell it?
- Listen! - The gladiator took the dwarf by neck - I don't know who you are , but u better keep your nose out of my warehouse and mind your own business.
He throw the dwarf away and continued his road.
- Are you not curious ? Why you?
Hyugo stopped.
He rushed to the dwarf and pointed one sword to the dwarves neck
- Yeah! Why me? Answer now or I am gonna cut your throat and..
Hyugo felt a headache, he was knocked out... Ah these dwarves he thought, always hitting the head with their axes...
- Now while you're stunned you gonna listen to me... In two days there is Halloween, and if you dont help me now the whole village is going to be infected with the new disease.. it already started in Dion....
At last Hyugo could move, but he was curious... he heard about the quarantine in the Dion Town and the travelers were stuck there while the Temple was trying to find the cure..
- So that's true?
- Yeah... I don't know how that happened, but all of my friends are now stuck in the town and I cannot talk to them..
- But why me??
- I checked, you were the only 50 level gladiator who has not been in the Cruma Tower today...
Hyugo was terrified... How does a single dwarf possess so much information... how can he know?
- So, will you please help me? I promise the reward is going to be tasty..
- What do you want?
- Let's start by finding a table to talk privately.
Hyugo was writing a letter to his friend telling that he will be late for two-three days while the dwarf was ordering
- Two Dwarf ales and a set of meatball please..
- In a second
- So what's the status of Dion now? - Hyugo asked.
- The temple is officially closed for finding the cure to the disease. The gatekeeper is sent off home so no one can teleport, and if you try to run to the other city the clan of healthy ones is going to stop and kill you
- Hmm, good I decided not to go to the Cruma Tower today, I was lucky. Soo whats the business about...
- You, my friend, are going to help me to enter Dion,,, I have an unfinished business with my clan leader..
- What?
- Yes you are going to help me to sneak in... but I have a problem...
- What kind of?
- Have you heard about coins of magic?
- The quest?
- Yes, I need them... You see, I am 64 level now and those coins are not dropping from the monsters anymore... And to hammer my way in to the city I would need A grade dual blunts, have you heard about Art of Battle axe?
Hyugo smiled..
- So, you need the coins to buy a recipe you greedy dwarf?
- Exactly then I can force my way in to the Dion and finish my business...
- Hmmm, what's in it for me?
- I will craft one Samurai Long Sword for you too... I have a crafter friend in Hunter's Village who can craft the axe for me and the sword for you...
- Okay - Hyugo smiled.
At last I can wield the powerful samurai duals... and I am also going to level up to 52 by then.. good...
In two days Hyugo teleported to the Hunter's Village ... He had an appointment with the dwarf and he managed to collect the required amount of coins... He walked to the blacksmith and suddenly
- Do you have them?
- Yes of course - Hyugo handed three packs of coins to the dwarf.
The dwarf counted them and shouted
- Perfect! Perfect! At last... - Wait here... go nowhere.
In 15 minutes the dwarf returned...
- Here is your sword young gladiator... may you enchant them as much as you want... and good luck with the adventures... write me once you are 62 level and maybe you will join our clan
- Thanks for the sword and the wishes, but I always travel alone...
- Hmm - the dwarf smiled - we will see.
While Hyugo was asking the blacksmith to make the duals for him the dwarf disappeared... Hah, sneaky one - no noise nothing , he just disappeared - Hyugo thought.
- I repeat young traveler, you are going to need 500 Stone of Purity for these duals
- Why?
- Dont ask dumb questions and go collect them... I cannot make duals from Samurai Long Swords without the stones...
Hyugo was tired.... aaaaah, 500 stones... how can I collect them.... he was headed to the gatekeeper to teleport to his bed but suddenly
- Hey, are you the one who helped Lootgar?
- Who?
- Yeah, yeah, definitely the one... my good friend Lootgar asked me to give you this bag...
Hyugo took the bag
- What's in it?
- Check yourself... Meanwhile,
The Mage disappeared, how? Maybe they had a summoner in their party he thought... He opened the bag and almost went blind... Wow,, the light, are these the stones of purity? He headed to the blacksmith at once and gave him the bag...
- How fast... Wow.. you collected 500 stones in 2 minutes... how?
- My friend gave it to me
- Very good friend... Now take the dual swords, they are ready...
Hyugo was amazed, at last, the epic samurai long swords in his hands... but something was not right... he felt like he needed to do something... that's the Dwarf I think... I think I must find him and help him to get to the Dion...
Hyugo decided to make his way to the Dion during the night... when he was running out from Gludio he saw some pumpkin head travelers and kids running around with candies... Ah Halloween - he thought... Forgot to buy a costume again... He ran outside the gates and started running towards the bridge... If i happen to get to the cruma marshlands and use scroll of escape from there, I will end up in Dion and find the dwarf... sooo no worries... He went to towards the bridged jumped into the water
- Who are you?
- Hi - clears the throat - My name is Hyugo
- Hide, fast, the HealthyClan Patrol is coming...
Hyugo did not even manage to see the one he was talking to but the shaman was fast to cover him under the blanked with foods.
- You saw someone here old orc - asked the patrol with shining knives.
- No one, I was talking to the spirits of the old orc tribe lords.
If the patrol caught me it would be one second kill.... Hyugo was terrified.. Wow the Demon dagger duals, very rare... they could kill even a Good geared paladin with just one blow... these guys are so overpowered. So lucky...
- Psst
Hyugo opened his eyes
- Wake up young warrior come - the shaman whispered
Hyugo got out of the blanket, the patrol was far away talking business with his clan leader
- What are you doing here young warrior? You are not even an Orc Shaman to learn some powers from me...
- I want to teleport to Dion, I am worried about my friends there, maybe I could help...
- You were planning to run to the marshlands and use the scroll.. hmmm... smart, but the patrol is sitting here 24/7 if not me you would be dead already..
- Thanks very much - old master - Hyugo bowed - What can I do for you?
- My former student F1oyd, he must be 50 level too, have u ever met him?
- Hyugo smiled... Of course, he helps me with the monsters almost every day...
- Please look after him... he is my former student and I loved him as my own child and also say hello from me
- I promise...
Hyugo ran towards the mountains and after a second he was in the Cruma Marshlands... at last I can use the scroll, but suddenly he saw a strange monster running towards him... the one he never saw before in the marshlands, what is this? Hyugo thought - 56 level monster, what is it doing here? What is going on...
- Dont Move!
A dwarf jumped from the bushes and stunned the monsters then double hits and it was dead...
- What are you doing here you fool?
- Lootgar??
- How do u? Okay... get out of here, fast... use blessed scroll of escape i dont know, the patrol is coming already... fast
- But I...
- I said fast, you cant beat them I got this covered, I will hide.. fast
- Hyugo opened is inventory to use the last blessed scroll but suddenly... what is this?
- What?
- You killed the monster but I got a scroll from it..
- What scroll? What are you talking about?
- Let me...
- Don't open it! Escape from here now! The patrol is aware you are here he is rushing
Hyugo was intrigued, he could , of course, use a blessed scroll of escape and escape from there,,, but he did not want to leave the dwarf behind also he heard an echoing dark elvish voice in his head...
Á panta nin, i turmë anwa hiruvan. ( Open me to possess the ultimate power(I used chatgpt here))
Elvish... how? Almost all elvish scrolls were destroyed in the library of the elven ruins.. how is this possible... he opened the scroll and suddenly the dark cloud came out of it
- Hahaahahahahahahaha! Freeeedoom! At last!!! Hahahahahahaha!
- What have you done?
- What is this?
- I dont know, I told you dont open the scroll you fool...
Hyugo went into trance, seems the cloud got him... he dropped the duals and got to his knees.
Lootgar seeing this went to help but Hyugo was overwhelmed with a strange power...
Suddenly all the monsters infected got to him...
[ Dion]
- They are all running outside the town - shouted the healthy clan patrol
- Who they? - answered the clan leader
- The infected ones... it seems some dark force has possessed them...
- Kill them all
- We are trying to, but it seems they are united, and they are also strangely overpowered..
- What are you talking about? They are maximum 55 level characters in this town...
- I know, but some force got to them... they killed our 60 level warcryer already...
- What the f*ck is going on... hold them at any cost...
Lootgar was hitting the monsters and trying to dodge the attacks of Hyugo in the marshlands but he got really fast...
- Hyugo! Wake up!! What are you doing?
- Hahahahaha! You foolish mortal.. Its the mind flayer your friend cant hear you...
- Mind frayer? How?? How is that possible?
- The world is mine now!!! You were born to be my slaves...
Suddenly a back shot
The patrol has arrived and the treasure hunter used his power against Mind Flayer
- Hahahahahaha!!! Tickles!! Hahahha
The patrol was amazed... he got next to the dwarf..
- What is this? A gladiator with full plate set did not die from this attack?
- This is the mind flayer.. he took my friend Hyugo with him...
- Mind flayer? Old demon?? How is that possible?? Gran Kain killed it
- It seems he has been waiting in the scroll for almost 6000 years... - Please call backup we need a full clan here against him...
- I am afraid my clan is busy with the ones in Dion ... they got mad and are running to marshlands, they will be here in a minute....
- What? The infected ones? How??? Cant you kill them?
- They are very overpowered now... not like your friend of course, but my clan cant handle them... cause they are united...
- Hmmm Hive Mind... - We need to find a weak spot then....
- You cannot stop me you fools!!! The 5% of populations has been infected... you are never going to stop me!!!
- I have an idea - shouted the Lootgar..
- What?
- Find all infected low level traders and try to hit them... if one in the hive mind gets a damage everyone gets a damage...
- Hmmm, interesting idea, that might work, try to stop him while i get to my forces in Dion...
The mind frayer tried to stop the running treasure hunter but the dwarf landed a critical hit and the spell got cancelled... the hunter escaped...
Lootgar was fighthing the mind frayer alone, but his HP was running low... he tried stun attack but the frayer was resisting... but suddenly the frayer was thrown back...
- It seems its working - shouted the Lootgar... hahaha!
- Disconnect the weak ones! Now!! Disconnect the weak one!! - Shouted the frayer...
[ Dion]
- Killing the 10 level traders is helping... a brilliant idea...
- But it seems they are getting normal...
- Fast we need to kill as much as possible to have maximum damage dealt to the flayer
The high level infected ones started to protect the infected traders, but the daggers were fast enough with their blinks to eliminate them...
- Send someone to cruma marshlands, it seems the Mind Flayer is hosted inside of a gladiator's body... and a dwarf needs help there...
- Kayne, Halden - heard that... fast get to the marshlands...
Kayne and Halden were brothers, they were using fists for the fight and could summon many spiritual animals to aid them... the rabbit helped them and they got to the marshlands fast enough...
- At last some help... - shouted Lootgar - try to hit the low lvl mobs and dodge the attacks of the gladiator
The brothers looked at each others and smiled - haha - EASY!
Rush - fast kill - Rush - fast kill..
[Dion]
- It seems the frayer is losing control
- Yeah its totally damaged now, fast to cruma marshlands all get the healers too
[Marshlands]
- You cannot beat me!!! I am immortal!!!
- Haha, but u will suffer from the damage done to your servants dumb demon...
The dwarf was spamming stun attack to the frayer while the tyrants were fast enough killing as many infected low level monsters as they could...
- Lootgar! Help me!
- Hyugo?
- I am fighting it, please... escape from here, he is going to do mass AOE damage now... it will kill u all
- I wont leave without you
- Now! Fast run! its happening...
The Tyrants ran to the dwarf took him by hand and went to the forces who have not reached the marshlands yet...
- Wait here!!
- Why?
- It's gonna explode?
- Who?
- The mind flayer!! Wait!!
And suddenly kaboom!!! in the distant... the mind flayer got in 100000 pieces infecting anyone randomly it could...
- Ah so it can be united and divided...
- Sh*t, now anyone randomly got infected... what are we going to do?
Suddenly a gladiator teleported to the dion and was breathing heavily...
- Wait... it's me Hyugo! Wait!
- How can we know you are normal?
- If I were not you would be dead already... - I know how to beat it... we just need to all wear pumpkin hats... that way we can know who is infected and who is not... the mind frayer does not know anything about Halloween ...
- Genius! Brilliant!
Everyone applaused.
- Send the message to everyone to "Celebrate the Halloween" The ones who are infected won't know what to do with the message but the healthy ones will all wear pumpkin hats... - Shouted the healthy clan leader...
.....
[Gludin Pub]
- Remember that night, Hyugo? Last year? What have we done? - asked Lootgar
- Ahahahah that was funny friend.. it was very funny killing mind flayer minions... - answered Hyugo
- Especially when they were asking hoooooow do u know I am a mind flayer? hahaha! its funny they did not know how to celebrate the Halloween - shouted the Kayne..
- By the way I have a scroll dropped from one of the infected ones - said Holden - shall I open it?
The End! Thanks for reading!
