Infinite Realm

"We don\'t have much time. We need to find a way to defeat them." Chesces told the teams.

They were all able to retreat away smoothly, without a hitch, due to the fact that the one-horned trolls hadn\'t fully surfaced from the black vortexes. Apart from the one in the centre, the one Chesces\' team encountered, the others still had a body part or two slowly being ousted out from the other side. For the one on the left side, only it\'s two hands and half if it\'s upper body had left the portal. The one on the right had only it\'s right side had appeared with the left leg slowly stepping out. Apparently, it took the one-horned troll on the left side a lot of energy to withdraw it\'s right hand and attack East Crow.

The troll at the centre didn\'t make any move after repelling Chesces\' group, possibly being cautious and waiting for it\'s brethren after it was injured.

"So does anyone have a plan?" Chesces looked at all the players present.

Using the time the trolls were still busy escaping the vortex, they wanted to plan on how they will take down the trolls.

"Thanks to my MT we were able to get some details on their strength. Here, take a look." Chesces stated before making his System Interface to be visible for all to see. Of course he hid his level and other confidential info, displaying only the reconnaissance information from the [Inspect] skill.

"We divide and conquer. We each take a troll and handle. That\'s the only way." Old Jiro responded quickly.

"Can you handle it?" Griffin looked at Sato and Fudo. Since they didn\'t have a healer and unlike East Crow\'s side they were only two, things would be harder for them than the others.

"If you aren\'t sure, you could team up with us." Chesces added. He had noticed that even though Fudo and Sato weren\'t guild players, they weren\'t ordinary players either. Chesces hoped to use this battle to bridge the gap between them and possibly invite them to Emperor\'s Might.

As for the increased difficulty, Chesces didn\'t mind it. After all if Sato could use a Berserk potion without hesitation, it meant that he might have something way more precious or might even have a couple more potions.

\'What\'s so special about these guys?\' Old Jiro stared at the duo in thought. Emperor\'s Might was a super guild and super guilds hardly go out of their lanes just to invite other players. If it weren\'t because they can\'t eliminate the boss on their own, East Crow might not be here again. If not for this event even, Old Jiro wouldn\'t have come in contact with their members.

"Don\'t worry about it." Sato spoke up before Fudo would say something stupid.

Despite having a super guild offer them help, Sato had rejected it nonchalantly. To him, handling one troll wasn\'t much of a problem even if it was a level 7 elite one-horned troll. The only reason he had retreated with Fudo was because he didn\'t want to use his full strength so he decided to wait till a plan was made. Even though none was really made now, with the data on the trolls\' strength available, Sato could handle them without using his full strength but not as smoothly as he will with it.

"Get ready, they are about to come." Swift Blade announced.

The teams then looked over to the other side housing the boss and the trolls. Right now, the one-horned troll by the right of the boss had already completed it\'s exit while the troll on the left would be done in awhile, give or take 5-7 seconds.

Seeing this, Old Jiro said " We will begin our assault now." After which he left the other two teams and began chanting a spell while running towards the slightly stuck troll.

"That shameless old fogey..." Kylian was speechless at Old Jiro\'s actions.

"Forget about him. Let\'s go." Chesces commanded.

"Alright."

As the team of Emperor\'s Might guild left the temporary meeting spot, Sato and Fudo were left behind as the only ones remaining.

"I\'ll tank while you deal damage." Sato plainly stated while staring at the one-horned troll by the left[1].

"You should be out of berserk potions right? You sure you can handle it?" Fudo asked Sato.

"Yeah. Just remember, we do it just like Camara." Sato smiled mysteriously.

"Camara...?" Fudo pondered before he revealed a look of realisation.

"Oh! Camara! Hehehehehe." Fudo chuckled knowingly.

Camara was a map in Conquest where Sato and Fudo had once battled a high-level boss on their own. That fight was a memorable one for the both of them because the boss was far stronger than them but they managed to stand their ground and fight back, successfully winning what one would call a search for a clam in a field; in summary, a futile attempt.

"Get ready!" Old Jiro yelled as his team was about to clash first with the one-horned troll.

\'This time, you\'re going down.\'

AN :

[1] Their left is the boss\' right. Previously I was describing the position of the one-horned trolls based on the boss\'view but at this point, I used Sato\'s view. So right becomes left.

So you might noticed that despite being a super guild, Emperor\'s Might players so far aren\'t so arrogant. Well, you haven\'t met them all plus not every super power is recklessly arrogant.. Some know when to chill and when to blow.
