Chapter 968 Attack of the Players
"Huh? Your real name?" Queen Tanya was confused.
"Ah, yes. I will have to explain things to you in the beginning. This involves Hagane and this world's fate, so please listen for a bit."
I started to relay the information to her and how we were actually people from another world. We were just there to fix the situation and stop Nobuhiko from fulfilling his wish. Since she was also a believer of the Goddess of Death, I also told her about the story of the Goddess of Death how my Versatile Weapon is also part of it, and why we are looking to complete it before the final confrontation.
It took me some time to tell her everything and I just summarized some of it to shorten my time explaining and it still took a few hours to explain all of them to her fully.
"So in short, you guys discovered that the game you guys play was actually a real world and thanks to the elves that drifted to your world and you guys rescued, you guys are now able to come here and are now using your real bodies instead of the previous immortal bodies and now you guys don't know whether you guys can still get resurrected? And your weapon was actually the black dragon pet of the Goddess of Death? Wow, so things are more complicated than I thought? And now, there is even someone who wishes to do something to the Tree of Life that serves the Goddess of Life. That sounds like bad news."
"Yes, and that is why we are trying to collect the remnants of the Versatile Weapon and let it gain enough power before we go and find the Tree. The only problem is that we have not yet found the remaining remnants."
"How many of them are missing?" Queen Tanya asked.
"I already obtained the Pride, Greed, Lust, Wrath, and Envy. The only ones I have not obtained are the gluttony and sloth sins."
"That is pretty close to the goal," Queen Tanya is impressed.
"Doesn't matter much since there is a chance it will take a lot of time to even find the remaining two. The weapons are not that easily found. I just got lucky that both the Lust and Wrath were present in one location so I obtained both immediately."
"I see. But after hearing all of the things you said, now I understand why you guys are on the move and why you guys decided to do something like this. It's like a moving caravan but with a walking mansion and a plot of land. Still, this is going to be a monumental task. My situation is very bad right now, so how about I join in this journey then? I have some connections here and there even if I am not a queen of Sandurk anymore but I can still provide aid," Queen Tanya offered.
"Your cooperation is much appreciated. We will have a hard time nowadays but since both of us are now wanted people by the players, we might as well band together and repel both of them to ensure that we survive."
While we are speaking, my guard dog, the desert wolf pack is barking which means there is something out there or there are enemies. I made them guard the walking mansion as they are excellent guards and I didn't regret that they are doing work as now that the players are attacking us, having an alarm for any intruders or attackers is necessary for us.
"Intruders," I stood up and grabbed the handle of my Versatile Weapon.
"Intruders eh? Then how about I tag along and kick some player's butt?"
"Heh, it's good to have you watching my back," I grinned.
"Of course. Likewise!"
We immediately responded to the barks of my Desert Wolves and there, they were already fighting multiple players who were trying to beat them. Of course, they are having a hard time, especially with the levels of my followers, they are not easily defeated and they pack a lot of HP and their damage is not to be underestimated as well.
"F*CK! We were never told there are Desert Wolves that are pretty tanky here!"
"Ahhh! My weapon! They break it apart! Monsters!"
"Idiot! They are monsters! Keep in distance and don't let them mob you in groups! Deal with them one by one!"
As they were struggling, I converted my Versatile Weapon's form into the dual pistol and started blasting.
BANG BANG BANG
And one of them is down.
Queen Tanya didn't even bother to use her weapon and headed straight to the nearby player who was being bitten by multiple Desert Wolves and immediately grabbed her neck. Before the player can say anything, Queen Tanya then proceeds to toss her up in the air, causing the player to scream in fright. She was tossed high up in the air and she plummeted down to the ground but before she was even reaching the ground, a very strong kick welcomed her face and she was sent flying into the distance.
Queen Tanya is still very efficient in her techniques and she just bashed a few skulls and ended them without any problem. I also downed a few of them and in the end, no one survived, immediately dropping their weapons and items they had after death.
"These things are useless but I can at least repurpose them as new weapons or materials."
Queen Tanya wipes off her hands after finishing one player off and smiles.
"You guys are fortunate enough to have a place to live while traversing the place and with loyal guard wolves like these, you would be set in life already," Queen Tanya patted the guard Desert Wolves and they loved it.
"Thanks to Almira, we have this as a good place to stay."
"So, how about my work? Pretty fast huh?"
"I don't doubt your ability. Welcome aboard."
And so, we got a new companion once more.
....
....
....
The next day, we were forced to deal with another group of players once again. Seeing the fluctuations of players attacking, Almira decided that it was time to go and deter our route, and instead of heading to the city, we would instead head on somewhere else. That's when Queen Tanya gave the suggestion.
"How about we go and travel back into the Frozen Region once again? Sure there are lots of giant monsters there but that doesn't mean you guys can't defeat them yes? Besides, I heard that players barely stay there due to the eternal winter and the brutal weather that most players didn't like to endure."
Hearing this, Almira's eyes lit up. "The Frozen Region huh? Good idea. This is a good opportunity to talk to your sister about the belongings of King Arthur there as well."
"Eh? You guys needed something to use on those weapons and artifacts?" Queen Tanya asked.
"Oh yes, I didn't mention this but remember King Arthur?"
"Yeah? He is dead, I remember him. What about him though?"
"Well, he wasn't actually dead, he was alive and he is back. The first thing he did when he returned and we met was to slaughter the whole elf race, only sparing those who were my companions. The rest of the kingdom's residents? Killed and resulted in the Elven Kingdom getting wiped out.
"That f*cker was not dead?!" Queen Tanya was totally surprised.
"Yes. And that is why we wanted to check on the relics and artifacts that King Arthur once owned. There is a chance we will find a reason why he was able to come back from the dead despite being killed by the weapon that is designed to kill him," Almira is determined.
"Then our next course is indeed The Frozen Region. But first, we needed to stock up some supplies to ignite flames and warm ourselves later once we arrived in the region. Manato, go and farm some wood and bring them here. We needed tons of them, so it would be great if you transport lots of them."
I nodded in response. For preparation, time to perform deforestation.
...
...
...
I didn't bother to bring the others this time around, me alone is enough to do this work. Since Sandurk has barely any trees to cut, I have to return to Resurgia this time around so I teleported there once again. I changed my get-up this time around.
Instead of wearing the usual wolf mask, I used the mask that I created. It only covers my mouth and looks like a gas mask meant to protect myself from harmful gases. It is one of the masks I created to use for later but because I didn't have time to use it especially since I liked my Wolf Mask, I didn't use it much. But now, I needed it.
I also changed my equipment that would make me look like an armored tank. I have this equipment designed for Hagane and Akira before but since Hagane is nowhere right now and is not part of our group, Akira immediately gets it, but why does he need two pairs? So he only accepted one.
My new look is now a good face that will allow me to go back to Resurgia without being hunted again.
