Axie Online

Chapter 55 - The great battle in Viredeta Village (I)

Receiving information from Rudy and Ramsey who was at the forefront, Dalon and the other party leaders rushed towards the frontlines as fast as possible while crushing the mob monsters that were in the way. They were part of the high-level players among the batch of players that followed this Raid, it was only natural that they should leave immediately.

On the other hand, Rudy and Ramsey were standing against a group of elite monsters who had just come to this battlefield valiantly, at least it was evident from their attitude. Rudy gripped the Blackstar Sword tightly in his stance without lowering his guard, while Ramsey took a fighting stance and his face turned serious. By the way, Gordon is helping other Raid players deal with mob monsters that are quite weak in the middle. Yes, Ramsey took Gordon out of his Pet Realm and ordered his virtual pet to help other players.

"Rudy, are you sure you don't want to back down? Looks like they're all above the level the '90s all."

"Level 90? This is a golden opportunity for me."

As if not afraid of defeat in the slightest, Rudy just grinned widely when he heard Ramsey's statement guessing the levels of the elite group of monsters consisting of Orcs, White Trolls, Hobgoblins, Colossal Wolf, and ordinary Goblins.

In the front row was a large orc with a stout and tall body equipped with purplish-black armor and a pair of large two-handed axes and a giant black shield. Even though the ax he carried was two-handed, the orc was able to swing it with one hand. The look on his face is also scary and looks dangerous.

To his left could be seen the White Troll who was about 50 centimeters taller than the orc earlier. He didn't appear to be wearing the great armor or equipment like the Orc, but he carried a spiked iron club that gave off a faint purplish glow.

To the right of the Orc was a large but short Hobgoblin whose belly bulged forward. This hobgoblin wore an iron armor on his chest, a light armor consisting of strong and hard metal chains, a torn old gray robe that had been torn apart, and carried a long magic wand with a human skull at the end.

Behind the trio hid a small Goblin riding a white Colossal Wolf. The Goblin wore nothing but a light chain cloak covering almost his entire body, then carried a small wand about 30 centimeters long.

Not only the Goblin, even the mount, the white Colossal Wolf, seemed to be equipped with decent equipment. The left and right sides of his body are protected by iron chain armor, on his four legs there are sharp and strong iron claws, and a small-horned metal helmet to protect his head and attack the opponent at the same time.

Rudy could feel the horror of the five of them, but he wasn't so scared. Even though his level could be said to be much lower than theirs, for some reason he didn't feel small or unable to do anything. Instead, he felt confident against the five of them.

"Ramsey, you think you can handle them all alone?"

Ramsey who heard the question from Rudy's mouth was a little surprised, but he couldn't be more surprised than before. He had a wry smile on his pretty face.

"Well, fighting all five at once I guess I'll lose."

"Heh, then you need some help, right?"

Happy with an answer that met expectations, Rudy mustered Hollow Swords and fused the five semi-transparent black swords in his left palm while smiling happily. Ramsey didn't reply and kicked the ground straight ahead which Rudy followed from behind.

"Don't die!"

"You too, shrimp brain!"

In the real world, almost in almost every house, all Axie Online players and fans are sitting in front of the TV and watching the Axie News coverage that is showing how the Viredeta village Raid group prepares for the battle.

The Raid that Heaven Throne was going to do on the Five Seasons Dungeon was still quite long, so it was this Raid that would be covered first.

At first, when they saw Rudy sitting waiting in the forest, the audience thought that he was the Mini-Boss from Viredeta village, but they were wrong.

The audience's suspicion of the Raid group grew as Rudy appeared on the small screen. It could be that this Raid is just a setting from the Axie Channel to attract viewers' attention, at least that's what some viewers and fans think.

The Axie News coverage team arrived at the Raid group's resting place shortly after Rudy used the Viredeta Teleport Scroll inside the meeting tent. Of course, because of the delay, Rudy has also been suspected of being a Mini-Boss monster who lives in Viredeta village.

The reason they suspected something like that was because the player's green ball wasn't visible from the TV screen.

This feature only applies to Axie Online players who see it in person without going through the media. If it is recorded or photographed through a Video Recorder or Photo Taker or something like that, of course, the green ball that distinguishes players and NPCs cannot be seen. This is one of the reasons why viewers and fans suspect Rudy of being the Mini-Boss.

In addition, Rudy's appearance using Black Form is quite scary.

However, through his contributions, directions, orders, and skills in the Raid group's war against the mob monster army, their opinions gradually changed. Not only his ability to strategize and lead troops but also his swordsmanship and individual skills were great in the eyes of audiences and fans alike.

Although not all of the camera's focus was on Rudy, but a lot of attention was stolen by the silver-haired and all-black swordsman. This made several other players annoyed because they did not get the spotlight at all. In short, they are jealous.

But when Axie News was showing the duo Rudy and Ramsey fighting against a collection of monsters that surrounded them from all directions, something extraordinary happened that made almost the entire audience and fans widen their eyes.

"W-What was that just now!? Was that the Sword of Blaze!? Or was it a skill!?"

"I can't believe my eyes!"

"The movement is quite fast!"

Yes, the great event that made more than 90% of the viewers of the war coverage broadcast on Axie News astonished was when Rudy spun around and cast the fire magic stored in the Blackstar Sword creating a 360-degree circle of fire. Not only that, his speed was absolutely terrifying as a player with the Swordsman Class Job.

This caused a stir all over the world. Sword of Blaze is indeed a rare piece of equipment that has the ability to emit fire when given a sufficient amount of Energy. It's not an Ability, but this ability is called a Divine Grade Buff!

That's what makes this equipment sought after by many parties.

Not only the equipment but also the use and skill in manipulating the sword buffs were very creative and efficient. His fighting ability in clearing out his enemies is also quite great.

"Great!"

"Who is he!? Find information about that player!"

"Is he already an enemy of the Legion!? If not, quickly find a way to recruit him before the other Legions get him!"

Those are the comments from the audience in front of the small screen. Of course, who wouldn't want someone as great as this and possessing this complete equipment into their Legion? Besides being able to increase combat power and ranking, there is a possibility that other players and NPCs are also interested in entering the Legion that Rudy entered.

That's the trouble of being famous.
