Parallel - A Virtual Reality.

V2. Chapter 19. Lord. (Part 1)

The battle has come to an end, we all are celebrating our victory, joy and happiness running on the eyes of every guild member and villagers, sweat and blood running on the bodies of everyone.

It was really hard, that group really made us break a cold sweat, and there were many factors that could've worked against us in a truly bad way...

But we won, and as I start walking towards my side, I looked at the corpses in the ground, players and NPCs alike... it isn't a sight that I wanted to see but this is the post-war scenery. The player's bodies didn't disappear as they have dropped loot because of their loss, and it seems that those that were transported away dropped too. The loss of war meant death for every player of the losing band.

I deactivate overflow while using Water Enhancing to restrain the sudden pain I get. I am very glad I have Razer body now, if it wasn't for that my body would have broken down long before. My mana is almost empty, and my health bar is orange almost red. While that wasn't exactly the worst of conditions, I could barely remain standing because of all the constrain my body is suffering right now.

I could see my friends, with many wounds on their bodies because of the harsh defense war, but they have victorious expression, satisfaction and happiness on their faces. It is quite a refreshing sight as I see that all the villagers and Barbarians are alive. Even if I had to kill NPC's from the other side, I would defend them with all my strength.

I could see that the enemy's commander threw his weapon aside and was captured for the 'negotiations' that we will hold in a bit. All the other soldiers are captured by the Barbarians and many of our Guild players, we could see with a rough count that a bit over 2000 are alive.

"Yo~" I say to my friends that looked that they were waiting for me.

"Nice job, buddy" Says Arksen to me in a rascal's tone and everyone are watching me with approved looks.

"You too, for being almost defenseless, being in the front line and not dying. You are really commendable" I smirk to my friend and I looked at Zenith that seems to be a bit troubled "Are you okay?"

"I am... but there was a moment I couldn't control myself and went into a frenzy..." He answers me with a sour face. It was expected that something like that would happen, as he still isn't able to control his powers completely. Whenever we spar, it seems like a violent torrent wants to free itself from its dam.

"Don't worry, we are here in cases like that" I tell the worried Zenith, but really, I might not be able to suppress a Zenith that goes all out even with Overflow and Razer Body together... I truly need to get even stronger.

As I was about to continue speaking, Eliana with Peko entered my sight, but what really took my attention is Eroda that is being shoulder-carried by the two of them.

"Eroda! Why are you here? We will take care of things, you should go rest" I tell him worriedly, because there are traces of blood around his chest area and his mouth, but there aren't any wounds, so it is probably from overexertion.

"I will, Eliana told me the same, but I should do something before that" He says to me with a faint smile his complexion very pale. He continues saying for everyone to listen

"Everyone, I am now here not only to congratulate you for the hard-earned win, as I am here to declare a new generation!" He says as he stands up by himself, his voice echoing through the whole battlefield with ease.

Then he looks at us and continues "I, Eroda Krone, Mayor of Hellish Village, hereby declare Ardha, the successor of Plate, the Lord of Hellish Village!"

-You are now the Lord of Hellish Village!

I get surprised at the proclamation and before I could say something, Eroda put his hand on my shoulder and tells me.
