Guild Wars

To the south, a large airship was flying along, led by the imperious Essence Stalker. The man himself was standing at the bow of the ship, looking down at the mas slaughter by the guns with a cold frown. His arms were folded and his eyes slightly narrowed, and he radiated an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard for others to approach him.

Of course, that was for most. Some people did not care about his power, prestige or even presence at all, like…

"Tsk, look at this fellow acting all cool and uppity. Only a RETARD would do such a thing, when one can just sit in their goddamn high chair and make the despot pose. Sigh, the age of social media has ruined kids of today!" Fitter lamented as she stood beside Slim Fatty, shaking his head at Essence's back.

The other core members had their lips twitch and Slim Fatty rubbed the back of her head with a wry smile. Meanwhile, Essence shuddered as his face became ashen.

He turned around and glared at Fitter with killing intent, his eyes bloodshot.

"FITTER CLERIC, YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!!!"

Fitter was unimpressed as he snorted arrogantly. "Hmph, the young master is now angry. I have been courting death since the day I was born, what's it to you?"

Essence did not hold back and attacked in fury, aiming to end this fellow once and for all. Fitter simply smirked and shout:

"Aunt Fyre, Aaron is trying to harm me again!"

Essence Stalker's face became ugly as he paused and glanced towards Loving Aunt who was shaking her head. She had a wry smile on her face as she knew she was being used as a shield, but she viewed both Essence stalker and Draco as her boys, so she was very motherly to them.

"Aaron, no need to beta him up. Besides, you probably cant hit him with all that luck around him." Loving Aunt pointed out with a chuckle.

Essence knew this and sighed. He then glanced at Fitter with a cold look and harrumphed loudly before turning away. Fitter was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to say something more, but Slim Fatty tugged his short and shook her head.

Deciding to drop matters on behalf of his babe, Fitter also snorted and looked away. The airship's deck returned to peace and the focus became the battle below once more.

Essence Stalker had taken 5 core members with him as captains. They were Fitter Cleric, Slim Fatty, Loving Aunt, Ghostprotokill and The Showman.

The reason for the shortage was the lack of core members overall. Someone had to taken the blow and Essence did, due to his confidence in his power and prowess.

As the strongest below the Evil Trio, he was representative of Umbra's top combat power so he had to live up to the title.

Soon, the army also came upon their resistance, which happened to be a group of races that had banded together to defend their homes. Among them were orcs, beastmen, gnomes and even some elves.

Essence Stalker glanced at them and waved his hands for his troops to move out. He remained standing at the bow with his hands folded, and seemed like he had no intention of participating.

However the other 5 core members smiled and leapt down, ready to slaughter this makeshift army into nothingness to appease their boredom and lust for blood.

Ghostpro wrung his lips as Draco stated that they were only allowed to use their classes and no bloodline. As such, Ghostpro could only shrug and use his Provisional Class skill to transform into Kiran's former Martial Artist class and explode into a Super Warrior.

His transformation shocked many of the lower Umbra members as they had yet to see him do such a thing, but everyone knew Kiran was into this gay stuff since he displayed it before the world in the Inter-Player Tournament.

However, they had no idea Ghost was into such… things. Ghostpro could visibly feel the respect for him drop down many levels from those around, but he didn't care much.

He was here for a good time and a long time.

The Showman had his familiar tophat and flashy suit, along with his expensive cane. His young and average face broke into a smile that was rich with expression and excitement.

"So many customers and clients! Lets see how best to accommodate you all, hmmm?"

Immediately, a strange symbol appeared in his eyes that exploded in a wave that covered a portion of the army. Those covered by it became dazed and fell on the ground, slack jawed and drooling like idiots.

The Showman manifested a chair and sat in mid-air, his smile never wavering as his eyes focused on those he had paralyzed, ignoring everyone else.

After all, with his power, no one apart from those he wanted to could even recognize his presence.

Currently, he was making deals with the many beings he captured into separate illusionary worlds, dragging out their own memories and desire to give them what the wanted… at a cost.

Never make a deal with a devil.

Fitter's eyes glowed with a purple light as he gazed down upon the enemies below. He saw that each and everyone unmistakable had a black cloud above their heads that was shrinking with each moment.

His lips curled up as he saw that all of them had fatal fortune reading as he expected.

Fitter pondered and wanted to test out to accuracy of his new Rank 5 passive, so he picked one random gnome among the group and then thought about how he would spare that guy and then introduce him to the upper Ranks of Vita Kingdom.

Immediately, the black cloud above his head explode into a giant cloud that was golden and shining greatly. The fellow himself was still crying and shitting himself in fear as he watched everyone around him dying brutally, but he had no idea that his fate had changed above him.

This made Fitter's eyes narrow. He then cast away his thoughts and the black could immediately re-appeared and poisoned the golden cloud until it shriveled greatly.

Fitter felt like he had understood something important from this. It seemed that Fortune was not absolute. Even if you had Golden clouds above you head, a random mitigating factor could either reduce or negate your luck.

So it was not realistic to look at a person in March with a golden cloud and expect them to still prosper by November. Something might have happened to render that golden cloud grey or black.
