☯Planning to Raid a Faction☯
*Day 342*
Two weeks quickly passed, and the number of participants began to decrease slowly, and because the southeast region is quite large in size, participants hardly encounter each other.
Despite that, many participants had been killed, ranging from murder, accidents, and even getting devoured by beasts.
As days have passed, the strength of various faction began to spread silently among the participants. One of these powerful factions were a group of females, and if Ray and his friends were to learn this, they would immediately recognize this faction of girls as they're the Dawnbreaker.
The rise of this all-girls faction was due to their achievements on obtaining points, These girls didn't hesitate to kill and will use various methods to gain points and loots from multiple people and even other faction.
The name Dawnbreaker began to spread when these girls destroyed another powerful faction entirely in a single swoop, many were utterly stunned and clueless on how such thing happen because right now, two weeks have only just passed!
They're the number one fastest-growing faction on this region and just completely ahead of everyone.
...
Inside this southeast region, near the border of the southern region, three figures are sprinting fast as they pursuit five figures ahead of them. All of them wear the same clothes, and these guys were a part of a single faction.
These five figures were trying to escape from these three, not because they're luring them out, but completely afraid of these three people!
Initially, their faction was a complete ten-man group. However, things had drastically changed when they encountered these three people camping in a small cave.
They thought they can rob them or kill them for points, but they've never imagined that these three people were actually frightening because the moment they attacked them, they've instantly lost five men!
Such strength made the remaining five members scared and ran for their lives.
"Boss, how come they're so fast! They don't look exhausted at all!" One of these group cried out as sweat covered his entire body.
Not only him, but every one of them is extremely tired, and they can't escape from these three people behind, they've been running for an hour now!
...
Ray, Mark, and Kate were following these five people ahead of them as they chased them with their weapons on their hands.
Their eyes were fierce and cold, they had the eyes and attitude of a tiger hunting on its prey.
"Kate, shoot the leader out." Ray quickly said before increasing his speed as he leapt ahead and the distance between him and the group of people began to decrease.
Kate didn't hesitate as she quickly notched her bow and arrow while running forward and continuously jumping from obstacles ahead of her. She quickly released the arrow as it flew out.
*Swii*
The speed of her arrow was still unmatched, and the precision of her shot was incredible.
*Pcht!*
"Argh!"
The arrow immediately penetrated the leader's knee, making him crashed on the ground savouring the flavour of dirt and fallen leaves.
"Boss!" One of them stopped and cry out while the others chose to ignore and continued running trying to escape.
The leader of this group was about to stand up when a sharp cold metal slits his nape.
His consciousness quickly faded as his body limped down and crashed on the ground once again as blood spilled and drizzled on the ground, now at his death, he savoured the dirt with his own blood.
When Ray killed their leader, he didn't hesitate and tried to catch the latter who stopped earlier.
Seeing his boss died and the hope of getting out of this event alive was instantly crushed when he saw the cold eyes of the approaching figure, his tears appeared and could only close his eyes and waited for his death.
*Swish**Swish**Swish*
While waiting for the pain to be felt by him and embrace his death, nothing had happened as he could only hear three figures run passed him and didn't even bother to stop for him.
His teary eyes opened, only two see his dead boss in front of him.
He looked back and saw the three figures catching his other companions leaving him behind.
...
Ray cold eyes didn't waver as he locked his gaze on the slowing escaping figures, he swung his sword and threw it towards the person on his front like a tomahawk. His sword spun on the air before directly hitting the back of the guy.
"Argh!" The guy cried in pain before his body crashed on the ground, the short broadsword had struck his back and somehow due to the pain and dripping blood, the seemingly light sword felt like heavy as a boulder to him.
He struggled to get up, and soon enough, he coughs up blood.
Ray seeing this, didn't bother to react as he coldly stared at the poor guy before approaching him slowly.
"God damn it! Just kill me already!" The guy shouted as blood spurted out from his mouth.
Ray didn't hesitate as he lifted his foot and stomped his body on the ground, he coldly grabbed the sword from his back then turned his hand.
"Argh!" Pain ravages his mind as he howled in pain before his body passed out, while blood flows out from his body.
Seeing that he had died, Ray sighed as he took his sword and flicked it, removing the blood stain from his sword before keeping it back to its scabbard.
*Ping*Ping*
Something rang out from his pocket, and when he took it out, it was the token records the points that he had obtained. Back then, he only has six points, but now, two weeks have passed, it already reached 18 points.
*Rustle*
When Ray heard this, he looked at the thick bush where two figures came out with a smile from their faces.
"You guys, how many points did you obtain?" Ray asked his two friends.
"Thirteen," Mark casually said.
"Fifteen for me… How about you?" Kate sat on a dead tree trunk before replying and asking Ray.
"Hehe, eighteen." Ray smiled as he showed his token to his friends.
Seeing this, both Kate and Mark dryly laugh because it was already expected by them.
Their reaction bored Ray, he kept the token before looking at these two.
During the past few days, the number of people that they've killed increased every time, not because they're hunting for points but because every time someone encountered them, they were immediately hostile towards them.
Because of this, the more people they've killed, the more their mindset slowly maturing. Not only that, but their insanity has also been stabilized by controlling their emotions when killing so the urge to show blood lust has been entirely suppressed by them, without even knowing that their spiritual energy is growing.
That's the reason why they remained calm when dealing with an enemy that would result in death. Because the more they show their emotions on killing, mad qi inside them would react to it turning them into vicious and extremely ruthless.
These were the findings that the trio found out during these days.
While the three are chilling on the same spot and discussed few things, completely forgetting the dead corpse on the center, Kate suddenly recalled something and looked at Ray.
"Hey, what about that dude that we spared?" She asked.
"Hm?" Ray looked at her and quickly remembered the last person… Soon, an idea came up from his mind.
"Hey guys, are you getting annoyed by these people constantly showing up?" He asked the two with a smile on his face.
His friends were both startled and looked at Ray with the same question on his mind, how did he notice?
Mark liked a quiet and peaceful place, so he was really bothered by these people, always sending themselves to death without even putting up a good fight.
While Kate, on the other hand, she really didn't like these pointless fight, to begin with, she didn't feel the challenge at all, and as days passed, she was getting bored and tired of it.
Ray didn't wait for them to answer because their reactions have already told the answer, because even him, he's starting to get bored in this place.
"I have this idea on my mind since these guys are a faction, they would naturally know factions from this area, so we'll use the guy to learn these factions and loot them! They might have obtained rare loots." Ray walked towards them, as he explained.
Even when he's explaining, his voice and action told them that he was extremely excited by this.
The two sighed helplessly, "Good choice, I think I'm going to die on this place due to boredom." Kate casually said and took her bow.
"Finally, something interesting." Even the silent Mark smiled on Ray.
…
"Mother… I've been spared, thank god!"
A youth was crying as he kneeled on the ground with his head hitting the ground as tears drip from his face. This youth was the guy that has been spared by Ray and his friends.
He really never thought that his puny life would be spared by these three that they've bothered and tried to exploit them, only to end up flipping the table like a gorilla exploding in anger because they wanted to hit them.
When he was thanking on the ground constantly, he heard something.
*Rustle.*
"Oh, you're still here?" When he heard this voice, his body stiffened and looked on the three figures appearing one after another.
His eyes were wide opened as cold sweat swarmed his entire body.
"Don't worry, we've come here to talk about something." Ray looked for him for a second before turning around and walked away, followed by his friends, "Come with me." His voice rang out.
Hearing this, the guy sighed before quickly getting up and followed the three people. There's even no point in running with the speed and strength of these three.
The four of them returned where they've met, the small cave.
In the entrance, it was mostly covered by vines and moss. Inside it, one can see a campfire built by these three people and bags full of items and materials are right beside the cave wall.
There are three beds made out of fresh and comfortable leaves on the very end of the small cave.
The atmosphere inside this cave was quite peaceful and warm.
Four figures entered this cave while the latter one whom just new to this place was constantly looking around, afraid that he might trigger something like traps.
As soon they've entered this cave, the trio separated and went towards their favourite place on this cave.
Ray went towards the bed and sat on it with his legs crossed together and trying to meditate.
Mark went on the campfire and sat in front of it while poking charcoals. On this campfire, three rocks are placed around it, and these were seats.
While the only female in this group, Kate, walked towards the bags and took a leather strap and walked towards the new fellow. While approaching him, she raised her blonde hair and tied it into a ponytail before revealing a casual smile on the new guy.
The new guy, seeing this beauty approaching him had his heart skipped a beat and took a single step back.
"Geez, you're such a wimp. Get yourself comfortable here just don't do something stupid." Kate smiled before turning around and went towards Mark and sat alongside him to enjoy the heat.
"…" The new guy was speechless, he actually didn't know if he had been showered by a blessing or everything just now is a hidden trap waiting for him to trigger it.
He really didn't know what to do now, but he knew that standing on the entrance of this cave seems disrupting the mood of this warm place.
He sighed and walked towards the two people on the campfire because these two people are somewhat comfortable than Ray. He sat on a rock and looked on the yellow fire as warm heat embrace his tired body.
"This is… relaxing…" He couldn't help to mutter it out as he was mesmerized by this feeling.
Hearing this, Kate laughed before looking at the guy, "I'm Kate, by the way, you're?" She asked while she raised her hand to offer a handshake.
Seeing this, the guy was lost in thought, "I-I'm Johnathan…" He hesitantly reached his hand out to shake her hand but was constantly hesitating afraid that he might taint those beautiful hands.
"!" He was instantly shocked when he saw that Kate immediately grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Damn, you're really pathetic, huh." Kate was stunned while looking at Johnathan, she has never seen this type of person before and if she were to admit, she hates this type of guys. No guts at all!
