Axie Online

Chapter 43 - Crystina

After using the Viredeta Teleport Scroll, Rudy moved from the strategy tent in the camp to right in the middle of Viredeta village. He who realized he was already in the village.

In a hurry, Rudy immediately ran towards a quiet and narrow place.

Even though it's night in a village that doesn't have lighting like in Livetuna City, he still has to be vigilant so that he doesn't get caught.

Arriving at the narrow passage, Rudy took some trash equipment he got from the battles against Goblins and Hobgoblins from the Inventory and put them on. Rudy used this trash equipment not because he wanted to, but to disguise himself so as not to be found out.

Although actually disguised using Goblin and Hobgoblin Equipment is not very supportive, but Rudy heard that Goblins and Hobgoblins in Axie Online have low intelligence, in other words, stupid creatures. Rudy thought that maybe he could fool the monsters who took part in the Monstrous Invasion Event.

Rudy started to change all the equipment he used to standard Goblin equipment that he got as drop items earlier. Fortunately, Rudy hasn't sold all of this, otherwise, he might have been found out before he even carried out his duties.

Of all the equipment, only Blackstar Swordman Rudy didn't change into Goblin's Sword or Wuln's Sword. It's all for preparation. If only Rudy was caught, he could still defend himself with all his might. After all, even though everything in this place is just mob monsters, it's also possible that they have some kind of Goblin Shaman or Goblin Haunter like before.

If Rudy was attacked using a Magic type skill, then he could devour him using Blackstar Swords and then immediately return him in an instant and that could be a golden opportunity to get away from there.

Well, even if Rudy was caught, he still had a Checkpoint Teleport Scroll that could make him move in an instant to the Raid player's troop camp. There was nothing for Rudy to be afraid of right now except a sudden attack.

In that place, Rudy started to open an internet browser and saw the Axie Forum. There, Rudy was looking for an item that he said was quite expensive for low-middle-income players. Rudy had no problem with the displayed price, but there was an item that was more important than his current money, namely the Blackstar Sword.

Yes, what you guessed right, Rudy is looking for Item Lock Stone. He needs these items to protect the Blackstar Sword from being lost to drop items if he dies before he can use the Checkpoint Teleport Scroll.

"Oh, found it. But, seriously the price?"

Rudy's face changed from happy to sour in a second when he saw the price attached to the bottom of the item. To get the Item Lock Stone, Rudy must be willing to pay 100,000 Byl to the seller.

This then made Rudy rethink whether to buy the item or not. If Rudy didn't buy the item, there was a possibility that the Blackstar Sword would disappear from his inventory when he died. But if Rudy buys it, the positive side is that the Blackstar Sword is safe in his Inventory so there is no need to worry about falling like a drop item.

"Well ... because I had to make my burden a little lighter, I just let it go."

Rudy with a heavy heart finally decided to buy an Item Lock Stone from the Axie Forum.

Of course, at the same time, the item is directly in the inventory. He immediately used the Item Lock Stone that he had just purchased on Blackstar to prevent it from falling like a drop item.

Redgard was the city that was the center of the Legion Crimson Castle. Crimson Castle Legion Leader, Crystina. Having received a notification from one of the Legion members that the attack of high-level mob monsters was heading towards the city wall, Legion Crimson Castle panicked.

Because nearly three-quarters of the total members from the east at which time the sun was setting were not online, Crimson Castle had almost received defeat from the onslaught of high-level mob monsters on the border wall.

In a large building with a palace-like shape that is white-dominated by red, in one room there is a woman with bright red hair fluttering tied in a ponytail sitting on a pair of chairs and the table resting her chin on her hands, which are piled up on the table.

That woman was Crystina, one of the top players in the Class Ranking as well as the Arena Ranking. She was a female player, who had a Gold-Class Berserker Job Class which was an advanced Job Class for Warriors and such. What's more, this woman took on the Ogre race.

The creepy face has one small black horn on its forehead, dark skin color which leans towards purple, a bright red mane and eyes that look like rubies, and a strong body that is about 180 centimeters tall, then there is also a giant iron sword that looks bigger than his body leaning against the wall behind him. That's the appearance that is usually seen from this player named Crystina.

Even though Crystina is a woman, in this Axie Online there has never been a player with another Job Class Berserker who could beat her.

Its destructive power is so powerful that it is nicknamed Crimson Surt by players.

Note: Surt is a fire giant who rules Musphelheim who will end Ragnarok by burning the nine worlds using his fire in Norse mythology.

Right now, Crystina was thinking about how to deal with the onslaught of attacks from monsters that plagued the entire Plainfest continent continuously.

In the first attack directed at Redgard, Crimson Castle can repulse the monsters but at a cost that is not small. Many NPC lives in the city have died as a result of the battle and this also applies to NPCs who are members of Crimson Castle.

The first attack alone has taken this much casualties and losses, what about the second wave that might appear soon?

While her mind was sailing in search of the 'Exit' island, Cystina was startled by the sound of one of her members entering her room with a breath and a panicked expression. The player's attention was also grabbed, even though he had not been called.

"Chairman, a Gigantic Wormtail monster suddenly emerged from the ground and brought a large number of insect-type monsters from its mouth!"

Crystina was shocked when she heard this news from one of her members, but She swallowed the shock and took action without thinking.

"They keep coming! Tell all the members who are still online as well as the NPC members to rush to the front! Don't let the city of Redgard which is the main headquarters of Crimson Castle fall! Tell me that this is a direct order from me!"

"Ready to execute!"

The herald immediately dashed out of the room and informed Cystina's orders to the other Crimson Castle members as quickly as possible.

Crystina herself growled in annoyance in her room, then stood up and walked towards the windowpane in her room. He looked towards the center of the city where a giant worm about 20 meters high appeared from the ground along with insect-type mob monsters.

"If the situation continues like this, maybe I should also step in!"

Right after shouting out her irritation, Crystina picked up her giant sword against the wall and walked out of the room. Her who could not stand to see Redgard slowly crumble decided to go to the battlefield.
