<h4>Chapter 209 - Things Going South</h4>


    Edge grabbed the token from Rudra and had started to mount his escape . Although Rudra was a bit shocked momentarily and unable to respond , Karna was not , hot in pursuit , he followed edge.


    Edge was running towards his guilds strongold in sector 6 , but was amused to see someone tailing him.


    Edge knew who was tailing him , he had been briefed about the man. The vice guild master of True Elites guild , a good swordsman with a heavy attack style.


    Without slowing down , Edge said " Vice guild master Karna himself , what an honour ".


    Karna sneered , he did not know who the thief was , but his cocky attitude was pissing him off.?Karna increased his speed and?was closing in on edge.


    Edge understood his situation well , he was not an agility ss yer , he had chosen the ss swordsman , although his agility was not as poor as barbarian or wizard , it was not as good as thief , ranger or assasin.


    Then he thought of a devious n , he grinned as he stopped running away and pulled out his sword.


    Karna was shocked to see that the thief had stopped running and had adopted a battle stance.


    Karna drew out ughterer and assumed a battlestance of his own , he said " Surrender the token , thief ! ". His voice full of dignity and power. Worthy of the stature of vice guild master.


    Edgeughed as he said " My , my , as if you can beat me in a swordfight ".


    Karna squinted his eyes , it seemed as if the enemy was a arrogant boasting prick , words would not work on such people , sense needed to be beaten into them.


    Karna closed in and shed ughterer at full power , the heavy epic rated de collided with the thin one that Edge carried and sent him reeling back 5 steps.


    Karna smiled , as expected the opponent was all talk and no fight.... However , Edge seemed calm and unaffected , Karna charged in again , and this time soo did Edge , Edge sidestepped Karna''s swing , and pierced in his sword into Karna''s gut to inflict a bit of damage , but quickly retreated before Karna''s swing could hit him.


    -5000


    Karna was hit!


    Karna''s eyes widened in disbelief , the opponents movement as he dodged him was soo sublime , he attacked and retreated in the perfect time. He realized that he better take this guy seriously , or else he would be in lot of trouble.


    Karna took a more reserved stance and now gauged the opponent more seriously.


    Edgeughed as he mocked " Getting serious soo soon? Why don''t you amuse me more ..... Dance for me ! ".


    Saying soo he stepped in again , to hit Karna , it seemed as if he was going for ateral sh through the left. Karna decided to parry it with his sword , but at thest second , the sword changed angles , it still hit ughterer which took the brunt of the attack , however it managed to just graze the surface of Karna''s waist.


    -200


    A chip damage appeared.


    " Ho , ho , ho , I''ll chip away at you till you die , you are not my match , just by calling oneself Elite doesn''t mean you are one ". Edge mocked Karna more.


    Now Karna was genuinely enraged , he could still tolerate personal insults , but he could never tolerate insults about his guild.


    And this was his mistake , as in his rage he was too focused on edge and forgot to scan his surroundings.


    Swoosh


    Swoosh


    Swoosh


    Three arrows impaled Karna!


    Edge smiled , the reinforcements from the guild had arrived .


    -10000 critical hit


    -10000 critical hit.


    -10000 critical hit


    35200 of Karna''s max HP of 38,000 had been clipped , he was on red in the HP bar , as he immediately became vignt.


    He looked at Edge with hate and distaste , the b****** mounted a sneak attack.


    Karna closed his eyes , and used his minds eyes skill in the open for the first time ever , he summoned his other sword and Zorro''s sword and used triple wielding.?He deflected all the iing arrows as he assumed a very conservative battle stance made for defense.


    Edge frowned , how was the guy not dead after taking three arrows. And seemed like he had even more tricks up his sleeve.


    He could let him be and get away , but the chance to kill him was too tempting for him to pass up on.


    " Soo you have a few tricks up your sleeve , you may have been my match if you were not soo foolish to fight me alone. Who said this would be a one on one fight , this is a battlefield where numbers count , your little guild and it''s 2000 members may appear like a novel concept , bute real world it''s a pointless decision with no merits. Let me show u the power of a true first rate guild , vice leader , consider it to be a favour before you die ".


    Saying so he signalled his guild members to go all out , and 25 assaulters 3 tanks and 2 wizards charged towards a weak Karna with barely any Hp left , while five archers covered the area from rooftops.


    Karna knew his time hade , but even soo he fought valiantly , killing 17 assaulters all three tanks and one wizard with such low hp , before sumbing to a dastardly arrow by an archer.


    This was the first time since Omega started that he had died. He swore to remember this day and this attack , and pay it tenfold someday. His only regret was dying before he saw through the winning of the Elites and his failure at retrieving the token .


    Before he died hisst words were " I leave it to you .... Guild leader ...".


    An informationwork assasin from True Elites guild , who had been observing the situation from afar , contemting on wether he should interrupt the enemies or not , while already have called for reinforcements said in a pained voice


    " The vice guild master is dead! ".


    The reinforcements stopped in their tracks , shocked.


    But noone was as shocked as Rudra .... Who just thought '' Karna died? ''. He was in denial , his mind was disoriented .... Things were not following the intended n.


    Things were going south!
