Chapter 205 - Clan War
"Yuki, these are the top 5 members of the guild," Arthur introduced Yuki to the top 5 strongest members of his clan in a room which was quite large. The room had 2 long couches which faced each other. The top 5 members were sitting on the couches as they talked before Arthur and Yuki had walked in but as soon as they did, all of the members of the top 5 stood up and bowed to Arthur and looked at Yuki with a confused expression as if they were seeing a ghost.
"My apologies for asking sir but were you not going to kill him?" one of the members of the top 5 asked Arthur. The one who asked wore a black suit with a white shirt under his coat. His tie was also black but had red dots on it. He was a tall bald man who wore shades as if he was a secret service member.
"Steve, I decided to go against killing him," Arthur simply replied.
"But why have you changed your mind? He's clearly a threat to us, we should dispose of him right now," said Steve in a concerned tone.
"It's not that I don't think he's a threat, it's that I can't kill him," Arthur replied.
"But sire, you're clearly much stronger than him. Even I could kill him as if he was a fly," said Steve.
"I'm afraid you don't understand... Yuki as my right hand man from this day forward, your first mission will be to show your power to these 5," Arthur ordered. Hearing those words, Yuki hid his lips under the collar of his zip up sweater which he wore before letting out a sigh.
"One, switch," Julius told One, which the second entity that lingered inside Yuki listened as did exactly as his master wished.
"Consider it done," said One before stopping the hearts of the top 5 strongest members of the WD clan for about 15 seconds. Arthur just watched as his strongest members were hopeless against the one who was now his right hand man.
"You can let them go now," said Arthur and One did so before switching back to Yuki as it was what his master would have wanted.
"What the hell was that?! Is he using some kind of devil magic?" Steve asked as he got up from the ground, gasping for air as he looked at Yuki then Arthur.
"Relax, Steve, he's not here to take a position in the top 5, you won't be demoted to number 6, I can assure you that. Yuki isn't some regular person who would go in the top 5, no. He's a whole tier above all of you," said Arthur as he had begun to go mad with power until Yuki tapped him on his shoulder.
"Don't forget that you don't control me," said Yuki nonchalantly.
"If we don't have to fear losing our positions, there is something you should know of," said Steve as he walked towards Arthur.
"Adam Andre seems to have started a battle with one of our competitors. It seems like he got mad at the fact that he had been outranked by Yuki since word got out fast so he decided to go inside the 'Sword Central' clan and pick a fight with some of their members. After causing havoc for a while, the top 5 of their guild came in and out a stop to his actions. Now he's held prisoner there until we apologize for his actions," said Steve.
"What?! Do they not know who they are?! Do they seek to have a war between our two clans? If they want a war, we'll give them a war!" Arthur yelled out as he was furious until Yuki tapped on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it on my own," said Yuki.
"No! It's far too risky. You're my trump card! I can't allow anything to happen to you!" Arthur yelled at Yuki at which Yuki once again switched with One before shocking Arthur with his presence.
"Remember what I said, you don't control me. Now, follow me and I'll show you what I meant by taking care of it. Plus, I'll need a cloak to hide my identity," said Yuki.
"Okay but why do you need a cloak?" Arthur asked in a confused tone.
"What would be the point of having a trump card if people knew what it was," said Yuki which brought a smile to Arthur which was indescribable.
...
After getting the cloak for Yuki, the two headed out of the castle-like building with Arthur walking forward and Yuki in the cloak waking behind him as he didn't want to be seen. Of course everyone in the room bowed. Everyone except for a single person which even Arthur greeted with a kind smile.
"Hello there Scar. Are you looking for a quest today?" Arthur asked.
"I actually am, I'm going to go on one with my teammate since it'll be her very first time," Scar replied to which Arthur nodded and left.
"Who was that guy?" Avila asked Scar once Arthur and the cloaked man left the building and everyone didn't have to bow anymore.
"You don't know? That was Arthur, the leader of this clan," Scar replied as if Avila was a moron.
"Of course I know who that man is. I'm talking about the guy behind him, he seemed a bit familiar," said Avila to which Scar looked at her like she had gone insane.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, stop distracting me and focus on picking out a quest to go on already," said Scar as he scolded Avila to which she nodded quickly and continued to look around for a quest she liked.
...
"Judging by how the two of them are looking for a quest to go on, I take it that you haven't told them yet about my ability?" Arthur asked Yuki who just replied back to him with a nod.
"That's that's good then, we don't have to worry about any other people finding out since the root hasn't spread out yet," said Arthur.
After walking for some time, the two had arrived at a teleporter who agreed to take the two to their destination for free as long as he could have a signature from Arthur to promote his service which Arthur agreed to.
Once arriving at the kingdom where the clan known as 'Sword Central' was stationed at, Yuki and Arthur headed towards the castle-like building which was heavily guarded.
...
"You must be Arthur, the leader of the guild known as WD. Our leader has been awaiting your visit, please make your way in," said the guards at the door of the castle-like building as they led both Arthur and the cloaked man behind him towards a room where it was said that the leader of sword central was in.
"Sorry but the cloaked guy can't come with you," said one of the guards as he held Yuki by the shoulder so he wouldn't go into the room.
"Sorry to tell you but he's coming whether you like it or not," said Arthur to which the guards reluctantly agreed.
"It's not like it matters anymore," said one of the guards under their breath before opening the doors of the room where the leader of the clan was supposed to be in. Instead, there was only one man in the room which looked familiar.
"Hello there Arthur," said the figure as his back faced Arthur and Julius.
"Oh it's just you Adam, I'm glad to see you're doing well," said Arthur as he walked into the room only to be greeted by a whole army.
"I'm glad to see you're doing well too," said Adam as dozens of people came out from the shadows as they were hiding beside the doors of the room so they wouldn't be seen. Once Arthur had walked in, all of them surrounded him and placed their blades at his neck.
"A trap?! How dare you!" Arthur yelled out.
"Come on, it was going to happen sooner or later. You're currently the one closest to reaching level 100 in the entire world and we can't allow that to happen," said a voice which from the sound of it alone made it clear that it was an important figure speaking.
"Is that you Alex?! You, who is the leader of this clan who prides itself in honour, dared to ambush me?" Arthur yelled out as he recognized the voice.
"Now now, Arthur, it wouldn't be fair if it was only him against you," another voice said and by Arthur's reaction, it was another important figure.
"Not that 2 clans would be enough."
"Hell, 3 wouldn't be enough either," said 2 more voices and by the reactions which Arthur was having, it was clear that the situation was just getting worse as more important figure heads began to show up one after another.
"So it's all these guys against me? That's fine. I already said this once and I'll say it again, leave this to me!" said Yuki as he opened his inventory and pulled out "King's Crown".
