MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 230: A Force of Nature



The stars sparkled in the sky.

Within the flower-decorated balcony, a seemingly close couple gazed up at the twinkling lights.

The woman was pretty. She had braided hair that cascaded down her back in a beautiful, intricate design and had some red roses tucked behind her ear.

She wore a floral dress with a waist cinched by a thin belt, and her eyes sparkled with joy as she pointed out constellations in the sky.

"Those are not the same as back in our world, right?" Desire said with a smile.

Dominique smiled and said. "That's right. The stars are different here, but just as beautiful."

He was soft-spoken and had a way with his words. He looked decently handsome and had a calming presence around him. He seemed like a person that could charm a person by just standing still and saying nothing at all.

Desire looked fascinated, and when she smiled, her cheeks swelled with a rosy hue. They looked like a couple that was madly in love and was having a date in their own little world.

However, in that moment, the building on the other side of the street started to turn loud. Some of the windows shattered as the people inside fought.

"What's going on?!" Dominique cried out.

"Desire!" A heavily armored woman ran to the balcony and broke the romantic atmosphere. "We have to go, now!"

"Who the hell are you?" Dominique flinched and asked.

"Already? Hmm, ok!" Desire said, and then armor with small metallic wings on the back hugged her body tightly.

She instantly changed from a sweet young woman to a fierce warrior.

"What? Why're you looking like this?" Dominique asked with an ugly frown. "This is not womanly at all!"

"Well, y'see Dominique, it was fun for about thirty minutes or so, but I gotta go." Desire said with a sweet smile and followed after her friend.

However, she turned around for one more time and said. "By the way, I break up with you. I've got to go to. Bye bye~"

"What?" Dominique frowned. "I thought we were happy together! Desire!"

Desire just laughed and waved, then left with her friend. They left the romantic restaurant behind and crossed the street to enter the building that had a fight going on.

It was a mess there.

Through a solid wall, a black-haired man crashed through and landed on the ground with a loud thud. There was a sword wound on his chest that stretched from his shoulder to his waist.

A metal-armored woman stepped through the wall. She also wore a helmet with small metallic wings on each side.

As she raised her sword, she finished off the man on the ground.

The ceiling then broke apart, and two people were exchanging punches. A bloody-faced man and armored young woman were locked in a fierce battle, neither giving an inch.

As they crashed on the ground, the armored young woman mounted over him, sword poised to strike the final blow. The man looked frightened, and the steel blade pierced through his heart.

"Desire, you're late!" Florence shouted. "You've pretty much missed the entire fight!" "It's already over?" Desire scratched the back of her head and muttered. "I am sorry."

"She was having a date." Her friend rolled her eyes.

"Who was it this time?" Florence asked as she cleaned the blood off her blade.

While doing that, a fight was happening in the nearby room. It soon ended as the guild that was in control of this building only a minute ago was completely annihilated.

"Dominique~" Desire's friend said.

"Ugh, him?" Florence cringed. "Desire, I love you and all that, but your taste in men is terrible."

"I guess I am attracted to weak men- " Desire said with a wink.

In that moment, they heard steps coming from outside.

They turned around and turned silent like a deer caught in headlights.

Athena slowly entered the place, dragging a spiky mace behind her. It looked heavy and dangerous. With a single swing, it could most likely shatter the entire human body.

"Its done?" she asked.

"Yes, my lady," Florence replied respectfully.

"I see." Athena found the last remaining chair that wasn't broken and sat down with a loud

sigh.

She also had fought somewhere.

The blood on her mace was still fresh.

This night was long.

They went on a killing rampage and eliminated a guild that had been harassing her guild members. It wasn't the first time, as it was only a female guild.

However, like always, whoever bothered with her ladies did so at their own peril.

"Desire, I smell a foreign scent on you." Athena looked at her with a soft look. "You should stop playing with their hearts. It might not end well for you next time around.

"I'll be careful~" Desire hugged Athena's arm like a daughter trying to please her mother. "I'll stop doing it~"

"Sigh..." Athena shook her head and let out a quick giggle.

She knew that Desire was lying, but she couldn't get angry at her. She was like a little sister of their entire guild, after all, and she was the heart of their team.

"Burn this place down." Athena said and stood up. "Then return to HQ. It's not wise to be out in these troubled times."

Florence nodded, and she already had ways of making a fire. She created a makeshift torch and set fire to the walls.

It quickly spread as if the walls were made of dry tinder.

When they all left, the building was already burning so much that it was beyond saving.

...

In the basement of the Battle Maiden's HQ, the steam made the place very foggy. The steam came from a hot spring that ran directly under the building.

They happened to build their headquarters right on top of that and were able to create their very own hot spring. However, unlike the Kuro Island's hot spring, it didn't have any healing or improving properties.

In the hot spring, the ladies of the Battle Maidens bathed with their naked bodies hidden by the warm steam rising from the water.

Currently, on the roof of the building, Athena sat right on the edge, her legs almost dangling over the edge. It looked like with a single gust of wind, she would fall.

She had taken off her armor and was just on a t-shirt and jeans, with her hair still wet from the

hot spring.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Something horrible has happened." Athena opened her round eyes.

She could feel that something was wrong. It was like an angry force was heading in their way.

"Someone angry. Someone furious. Someone who is wanting revenge is coming."

Athena hadn't felt like this possibly ever.

At first, when she had this feeling earlier today, she thought it was just slight jitters before the war. However, now she realized it was something far more threatening.

A force of nature.

Its coming.

'What'll happen?' She shuddered at the thought.

...

Within the mountainside, a shadowy creature wrapped its body around the mountain like a

serpent coiling around its prey.

It was sleeping. Its breathing was slow and steady, yet powerful.

It was so big and large that all and every land animal just escaped from the mountainside because its sheer size made it so that the mountainside only had place for its large body.

"Shhh..."

"Shh...."

"Sh..."
