Chapter 492 Invasion: Guild Wars
-----
The Knights Order, a Guild Alliance made up of three different Guilds whose Guild Masters were only around Level 140 to Level 160. They were composed of the Red Knights, Knights of Vengeance, and the Dark Knights Guilds. Although they were rather under leveled, their constant participation in many Guild-related activities and the strong bonds shared between all the guild members made them a really strong Guild.
However, as they were always stuck around the Top 100, they have been seeking to find a way to earn fame and level up quickly, doing all the weekly bosses religiously didn't cut, they needed to find new quests, explore new areas, and make a name for themselves.
And today, they were about to accomplish it, one of their members had managed to reach the outskirts of the Forest of Beginnings thanks to his flying tamed monster, a Thunder Bird King. He was just a normal Level 90 Tamer but his tamed monster proved to be incredibly useful.
Flying several kilometers in just a night and arriving at the area they wanted to raid, the young man quickly used the Guild Skill [Summon Guild Alliance: Lv10 (MAX)] and summoned all three guilds together at once.
It was a plan they had been scheming for over a week now, but once they were finally done with preparations, everything was finally coming together.
Over a hundred Players were summoned outside of the Forest of Beginnings, as they glanced at the beautiful and ever-growing forest, and the many roots of the gigantic Yggdrasil tree spreading through the land.
At mere sight, it didn't looked at all like a World Boss, just one huge tree… But it was in fact, the body of a Level 81 Player, Planta, who had become the first World Boss Player, and that had also defeated the Demon King of Miasma.
"We're finally here…" A tall man with long red hair wearing a red armor said, smiling viciously at the gigantic tree in the background. His eyes were filled with greed. "You might have somehow become a World Boss, but that also comes with a weakness, Planta, you can no longer turn off your PVP! Now anybody can just barge into your territory and kill you if they want!"
"She's only Level 81 after all, she might have gotten a bit too cocky with all the amazing items she had been acquiring." Sighed a blue haired young man with a fox-like face, wearing white armor and holding a sharp blue spear. "World Boss or not, she's still too weak to even compare with the strength of all three of our guilds."
"I'm sure that if we get her down we'll get some insane rewards, isn't it? Also can't we just spawn camp her? Imagine all the infinite loot we could get by spawn camping a world boss! We'll get to Level 200 in a flash and might earn enough Fame to compare with some of the top ten guilds!" Said an ambitious silver-haired woman wearing jet-black armor and holding two magic swords.
They were the respective guild masters of each guild composing the guild alliance of the Knights Order. Level 160 Gaston of the Red Knights, Level 156 Elios of the Knights of Vengeance, and Level 158 Silvera of the Dark Knights.
And behind them, tightly making a formation, there were over a hundred Players, the weakest being Level 90, but the majority were past Level 100, already having undergone their fourth Rank Up. Although the majority were heavy armor-wearing knights or warriors with big weapons.
Magicians were very rare, as these guilds usually accepted only knights to go with their theme… They were surprisingly serious about it, and the Level 90 Tamer was a very rare addition, mostly due to his scouting abilities and flight.
"What about the NPC in the forest though?" Wondered Elios, looking at the place while squinting his eyes. "If they're servants of a World Boss then can we kill them?"
"Hmmm, the system might have answered that for you." Silvera laughed.
Ding!
[You have entered the territory of the [World Boss]: [Yggdryad Planta]!]
[Your hostility has been seen as a declaration of War.]
[Due to the opposing side's forces, all of the NPC serving directly to Planta have been catalogued as Foes and can be defeated without penalties.]
[The Yggdryad is watching you silently…]
[As long as you step into the Territory, the War will begin.]
[This War will also count as a [Guild War] between the [Knights Order Guild Alliance] and the [Knowledge Library Guild Alliance]!]
[The [Knowledge Library Guild Alliance] Masters are currently logged-off.]
[The [Player: Planta] is currently logged-off.]
"Heh! It is all we can take feast, boys!" Gaston laughed, raising his gigantic red blade. His ambitious smile reached his ears. "It's time! We'll rampage this entire forest and plunder everything! We'll get so much loot!"
"Good, seems like the game's on our side today." Elios said. "Finally, its our time to get into the big leagues…"
"Fufufu, excellent." Giggled Silvera.
The army was riding over giant Wolves as they started slowly making their way into the Forest of Beginnings. Their threatening presence and powerful hostility quickly alerted the many living beings inside the forest, who were using it as their refugee and sanctuary.
The Ent King and the many other Ents protecting the Forest's surroundings quickly woke up, opening their eyes.
"Father! Players with hostility are coming here!" An Ent panicked.
"It does seems to be that way, my child." The Ent King sighed, glancing at the distance while squinting his eyes. "Just after we managed to free our world from the Demon King of Miasma, more threats are already coming…"
"We have to fight, father! For this forest and the many people inside!"
"Lady Planta's still asleep, until then, we must hold off!"
"Yeah- huh?!"
FLUOOOOSH!
However, although Planta was logged off… It would be a misunderstanding to say she wasn't there. The tree glowed brightly, emanating rich quantities of spiritual essence it has been accumulating in large quantities every day, and imbued it into the Ents.
In front of them and the King, several System Windows appeared one after the other, it was the first time they ever saw these types of powers Players possessed.
Ding!
[The [World Boss Automatic A.I.] has been activated due to [Player: Planta] being logged-off.]
[The power of the [World Boss Authority] Title has been activated.]
[All Allies of the [World Boss: Yggdryad Planta] are receiving a boost of +250% to all their Stats temporarily.]
[Due to the effects of many other Skills and Titles, Allies Stats further grow by +150%.]
[Several Skills have been enhanced their Power by +250% temporarily.]
[Spiritual Power, Health and Mana regeneration speed have been enhanced by +500%.]
"T-This power…!"
"It is the blessing of Lady Planta?!"
"I feel so young and strong!"
CLAAAASH!
The Ent King suddenly surged off the ground, his old and withered body completely regenerated, as he resembled a muscular titan made of wood, his body was overflowing with spiritual power, as countless tiny spirits floated around him.
"Our Queen call us for battle, my children!" He roared, raising his hand as he suddenly materialized a gigantic axe out of his own wood. "We shall fight for our new home!"
"OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!"
The Ents all uprooted themselves from the ground and began walking, with newly enhanced and rejuvenated bodies and powers.
Meanwhile, within the Forest of Beginning's depths, Planta's Familiars quickly began rushing to the frontlines…
