168 Electrified Creeper

-Chapter 167: Electrified Creeper.-

"Come on, what are you waiting for, get all the equipment out!"

With the departure of the novices to the sea, those sent to direct the groups acted as planned.

Some ordinary people came out immediately, such as a normal person who enters the first floor without the help of any guild.

It's something quite obvious, not only newbies affiliated with guilds or families joined, but also many common people without any prior training, although they are not as good as the others, the important thing in this raid is exploration and not battle.

These people loaded some common chests from the first floor and brought them to the shore, a similar situation happened with other groups in different parts of the island.

While the chests on the first floor are hard to come by, it's nothing for America's best guilds, families, and organizations to pull out some of these, after all, they can be found in villages and dungeons, but they still command a high price, not only because of its large space storage capacity, but also because other objects can be entered on the first floor only with these chests, such as…

"It's amazing, those high ranks really gave us a team like this."

An ordinary rookie said taking out a glider and a green suit from a chest, these were the equipment inside the White Fang guild's underground base, they were sent to the recruiting zones for the rookies with no skills but a little bit of training.

Pulling out several complete green goblin costumes, the rookies had expressions of joy and anticipation on their faces.

As for how so many costumes were obtained, it's pretty simple, aside from the fact that it's a bit common to strip the green goblin and steal his costume on the third floor, you can buy this thing from the catalog on the third floor in the shop the tower, obviously as long as you've completed the third floor.

But that is easily fixed, you just need someone on higher floors to buy it for you and then deliver it to you or send it to you via the tower chat room.

Although it may be seen as stupid, there are always some extremists complaining on the internet about this, comparing it to underagers acquiring alcohol through dealings with adults, but they are just ignored and newbies usually don't care.

It's common for high-level Runners to buy some items or abilities from higher floors for the newbies they appreciate, although extremists complain that this breaks the balance of power, there's nothing more they can do to stop this routine that has become something common

Back on topic, the rookies dressed in the ugly green suits and jumped on the glider, with one smooth movement, they controlled the power of the glider and slowly rose up.

Similarly, 10 of these suits and gliders were left to 4 groups in 4 different directions on this island, so 40 newbies would have a chance to experience equipment from a floor above theirs.

Although the guild has enough resources to buy even more of these suits, or even buy something better, they didn't see the need to do something like that, because the large number of newbies lightens the work of the green goblin team by limiting their search area, Besides, they think these suits are the best for walking on the first floor.

Then, after carrying a chest on his shoulder, the group of green goblins took to the skies as per the instructions of the newcomers in command.

"What do we do now?"-Asked one of the rookies sent by a small organization.

In front of him was one of the rookies sent by a wealthy family as a spy, he opened a chest and looked at the nothing in front of him, obviously looking for something among the stored items, then, surprising some who were watching him, he took out a mobile phone from high tech and started playing.

They don't know it, but this guy is not playing at all, instead he started to control a drone that he had taken out earlier and was watching everything from the mobile phone.

…

"What are those guys doing?"

Returning to the Xcountry island inside the first floor, the surrounding newbies paid attention to the group trying to open the entrance of the secret base.

"What's that?!"

Right at this moment, a winged creature came out of nowhere scaring everyone who saw it, but, more of those creatures came out right after.

"Dammit, it's a trap!"

Seeing how unknown creatures came out around the strange room, everyone in the group of newbies thought that it was a trap to kill the greedy, they did not hesitate for a second before running away.

Although they wanted to kill monsters with their new power, they wouldn't be stupid enough to face an unknown enemy, so they would leave this job to others.

Just as they thought, some newbies soon rushed in this direction and seemed excited to hit some monsters, especially ones they had never seen before.

swossh!!*

One of them quickly threw a punch, but it only pierced the winged creature, who immediately swung his sword and sliced through the opponent's arm.

"Aaahh!!"

With a cry of pain, the fledgling fell to the ground trying to stop the bleeding, but to his luck, the regeneration effect did its job and an arm began to sprout again, but even before it was finished, the Vex swung his sword and sliced off the opponent's head, making them disappear and leaving behind some experience orbs.

Something similar happened to the other newbies that got close, perhaps due to the damage multiplication effect of the Reality Hurts feature, but these people were easily picked off by a small group of Vexes.

"..."

Seeing this whole scene, the rookies in the background who wanted to rush in for the kill suddenly stopped, with shocked expressions, it took everyone a couple of seconds before they reacted.

"Aaaah, run for your lives!!"

As if seeing the ghost of death, everyone without exception turned and ran at full speed in panic.

Who would have thought that those fledglings, who gained incredible power, would be so easily killed by small angel-like creatures.

"ShiShiShi!!"

With small mocking chuckles, the Vexes went into battle mode and began to fly after the fledglings.

"Ah, what about my powers?!"

Leaving the area covered by the headlights, the effects wore off and the rookies panicked, even more so as they heard the small mocking giggles approaching behind them, but they couldn't do anything but run.

'This is what happens when they invade private property.'

Over the base entrance, Har watched the fledglings walk away and stopped summoning Vexes, then went on to teach these guys a life lesson.

Going into the chat window, Har sent a message and was ready to watch the show.

"...???!!!"

With expressions full of disbelief and stupefaction, the newbies abruptly looked up at the sky as if they were witnessing an impossible drastic change, everything had suddenly turned dark and many of them were shocked foolishly, because the sun had disappeared after a long time and the moon appeared instead.

sssshhh*

Even before they could understand what happened, they suddenly heard a sound that they know very well, the sound of imminent death.

When they looked ahead, a bunch of monsters had appeared not far away and were rushing in their direction.

"Aaah!!"

Everyone was forced to react, they turned around without thinking causing chaos, some collided with each other and many were trampled on the ground, but they didn't run for a long time, because they had forgotten the group of Vexes with the appearance of small demons that were flying towards they.

"We're going to die, we're all going to die!!"

Weeping and wailing screams echoed in the distance, but it wasn't enough to Har, so he typed another command to terrify the fledglings a bit more.

Immediately, the whole sky was darkened with a lot of clouds, the next second, a lot of thunder resounded and the rain fell like a deluge.

Bam!* Bam!* Bam!*

Lightning struck everywhere as if it were the wrath of the sky, some trees were set on fire that was quickly put out by the rain.

"I knew, I knew it was strange that we can approach that place without consequences!!"

Fleeing from the monsters, the group of intelligent rookies used each other as bait to hide from the Vexes and continue on their way, they believe that if they can reach that place and gain power again they will be able to survive.

First it was the little creatures, then the sun was replaced by the moon against all logic, then a massive amount of monsters appeared, and now even lightning strikes every moment, if this isn't a death trap, then what is?

Regarding what is the terror that a thunderstorm that Har invoked with a command can mean, well, Minecraft players know it very well…

Ssshh!!*

"Shit, there are monsters here too!!"

They didn't expect it, even the place where they got the powers before was full of monsters after leaving it for a few seconds, plus some exploding green aliens ran towards them like crazy, it was lucky to have entered the area of effect of the headlights, so their speed increased, but just when they were ready to run into the distance..

Boom!!* Boom!!*Boom!!*Boom!!*

A bunch of lightning lit up the sky and fell with thunderous sounds right after, then, the newbies were dumbfounded.

Ahead of them, a Creeper was struck by lightning, so they continued running thinking that he had died, however, the scene they saw next was too fantastic.

The Creeper that they thought had died not only survived, but now much more imposing than before, a bunch of thunder moved around his body at high speed forming an aura of energy that completely surrounded him.

Anyone who has encountered this situation knows how special it is, plus everyone who has faced this creeper has certainly known the true terror, this is an overcharged creeper whose explosive power increases drastically and sends players back to spawn as if it were the representation of death.

ssssh*

With a sound that the rookie group knows, the Creeper began to shake and inflate, seeing this, everyone tried to get away as fast as possible, but the next moment…

BOOM!!!*

The creeper exploded itself as usual, but this explosion was not common at all, in the game the damage caused by a normal creeper explosion is 43 points, but the damage caused by an overcharged creeper is 85 points , almost doubling its original damage.

But, on the first floor each damage point of the game was increased to 10 points, so the explosion from an overloaded Creeper deals about 850 damage points, not to mention the damage increase granted by the Reality Hurts function, no doubt face this attack from the front means an instakill for the newbies on the first floor.

"Oh, what is this?"

Descending into the large crater left by the previous explosion, Har couldn't see the group of rookies anywhere, just some floating heads that were left behind by them along with some experience orbs.

'I didn't expect this effect to work on Runners as well'

Har can remember this effect, entities that die under the blast of an overloaded Creeper will leave their heads as if they were usable helmets.

He didn't expect that these guys would be unlucky enough to run into an overloaded Creeper, nor did he expect that they would leave their heads behind as trophies when they died, but he doesn't really care either.

He just got closer and these human heads flew in his direction by themselves, then they were stored in his inventory.

'Could this effect also work outside the first floor?'

Har thought about it for a moment, but he could also chop off someone's head without using an overloaded Creeper, it's an effect that's only useful for very specific situations, but he'll still remember it in case it's needed.

…

"What is happening?!!"

Returning to the White Fang guild novices, everyone was looking at the sky with wide eyes, obviously, on the first floor there is no such thing as time difference, so the whole world suddenly went dark when Har changed the time, like If it was the prelude to a catastrophe, then the whole sky was filled with dark clouds and rain fell as if it were going to flood the world, so it seems that even this command to change the weather took effect on all the islands, then Lightning struck everywhere followed, everything turned into a terrifying scene in just a few seconds.

Then, as if all of the above weren't enough, a bunch of monsters approached from a distance.

"What's that?!"

Among the panicked screams of the newbies, someone suddenly noticed a horse-like silhouette walking towards them from the side, he couldn't see it well due to the darkness, but what he had seen was a skeleton horse.

Boom!*

With a loud roar, lightning fell from the sky, only in this way was this person finally able to see the appearance of the horse making him recoil in fear, but it was too late.

Boom!*Boom!*Boom!*Boom!*

A bunch of lightning fell on the horse's place as if being attracted by something, then, before the dumbfounded eyes of everyone watching, several skeleton horses suddenly appeared, on them were skeleton riders, holding enchanted bows and dressed only in a iron helmet on his head.

"Ahh, dammit, those are the horsemen of the apocalypse!!"

Seeing this group of undead riding on skeleton horses, one person immediately thought of the doomsday horsemen in myths and legends, hearing this, a domino effect was formed where everyone began to run one after another quickly. .
