READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 28: Spy appears
The
"Huh, you appeared at least, fallen leader… Where were you before the bloodshed in the alliance hive you were responsible for?"
"Shut up, Aramis! I had reasons!" Haites was right. They had gone on a monster hunt in a nearby area with Aegon, his top assistant, but had encountered an unexpected situation. The functions of this world, working with standard mechanics, had gathered countless powerful monsters in a single area against their own rules and mobilized them toward the GBR Keep. Even though they had read the horrific messages about their alliance in World Chat, they couldn't stop their battle because they knew that if the monsters reached the castle, they would experience greater slaughter.
Aegon was standing on one knee next to Haites, who was standing imposingly on the roof. Both of their red cloaks fluttered enthusiastically in the wind. Turning his head slightly to the side, Haites gave the command. "Let's go, Aegon!"
The two of them suddenly disappeared, and a second later they were teleported right between King Aramis and Buck. Contrary to their stance on the roof, they were both standing, back to back, outstretched swords at Aramis and Buck. "King or not… Bre or not… Allianced or not… I don't trust anyone in this world except my friends in my own alliance, and you guys…" Haites meant not only King Aramis and Buck, but all of the other allianced players who had come to the arena to save their friends. "You are not welcome here!!!"
"Tsch… Do you think the remaining 3 minutes won't be enough for me to destroy you all!?" King Aramis, who had 3 minutes left on the timer above his head, still did not compromise his self-confidence.

In this world, there was a separate function called "Friend Chat" so that players could chat privately so that it could not be seen by other people, except for the 2 related players.

*** Meanwhile, outside of the BRe Hive ***
There was complete dead silence outside the BRe Keep.
Although in a bloody way, the CAS alliance attack was stopped by several BRe players so that no one died, and the injured CAS alliance members were resting in different places trying to heal.
Now, however, BRe Keep was surrounded by a much larger army. And by a pretty strong faction! More than 60 players had completely surrounded the BRe Keep, the largest hive in this World, and the dragons, many of which were above them, were clamoring for battle.
"THIS IS THE LAST WARNING, BRE MEMBERS! CALL YOUR PERMANENT KING HERE OR I WILL START THE OPERATION!!!" Equipped with sunray armor with unique properties that can only be possessed by the strongests of this world, the female player stood imposingly on her black dragon and waited.
"ARAMIS IS NOT JUST PERMANENT KING OF BRE, ELIZABETH OF ONI, HE OWNS ALL OF THIS WORLD! DO YOU AWARE OF THE RESULTS OF YOUR CURRENT ALLIANCE ATTACK HERE? YOUR WHOLE CREW CAN BE DESTROYED BY THE SYSTEM!" Angered by the sudden raid by the Oni alliance, the Temporary King Jan continued to shout above the Gate.
"OK, THEN!"

"Holy God!" Jan had said that sentence in a completely hoarse voice that he could hear himself, and his anger had turned to surprise. Because for a player to leave her alliance, which she did in the ME period, it meant taking a terrible risk for herself. Even if this player is Elizabeth, the 4th strongest player in this world...
.
.
.
King Aramis, who learned the developments from the private chat window that Jan opened for him, looked angrily at the Oni members KB and Luckysmile, who were in the area.
"We have not been informed of anything other than to come here and convey to you the words of our own queen… King Aramis. We are learning about that attack now. But we want you to know that if you still make a move, we will reciprocate." Both Kb and Luckysmile simultaneously brought their hands to their sheathed swords menacingly.
Realizing that the situation was now out of control, even for himself, King Aramis took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked at the alliance members around him. "Let's go, Vato… And all others… Except for you, Ahmed… Stay here and observe everything that will happen as our representative…"
"I know very well how things have looked to you so far, Miha. But you see, it's all over now. Please, come with us. If you come with us, you may have a chance to save countless people instead of the few you are currently trying to temporarily protect. You will understand why I am saying this when you come with us, I promise you!"
Miha, who had always resisted until now, listened silently to Vato's last words and looked at the people next to her. Vato's revolt against King Aramis and the GBR leader Haites' clear attitude towards foreigners had influenced her thoughts. She nodded to the BRe members, giving a yes… And walked next to them…
Holding his still unconscious wife Yolimar in his arms, Vato, Miha and the other members of the BRe alliance disappeared by teleporting to their own hive at the same time using the Alliance Teleport skill.
Everyone was completely calm now as the danger has completely vanished, and the remaining other alliances' players took their newcomers and teleported to their hives. Canoswer went with the RES team, Ruby with XJX, PapaBear with WAR…
"Ok, then…" Buck mounted his dragon again to leave but did not go. He waited for the Expel skill to expire and stood by to protect the survivors in the face of a possible new danger.
Apart from the registered GBR members, there were now only Ahmed of BRe, KB and Luckysmile of ONI, Hina, and Kisperia, whose alliance was completely destroyed…
And now the Expel skill counters were also expired. KB and Luckysmile of ONI and Buck were teleported out of the hive forcibly by the system…
But Ahmed was still there… Both the people in the field and himself were trying to understand the situation in confusion because it was against the mechanics of this world that he was not sent despite Haites's Expel skill. But their surprise was short-lived because there was another new development.
Suddenly, a hard object like a meteorite fell in the middle of the square, and the whole area was covered with dust. Everyone made an effort to protect their eyes against the dust cloud, and then they realized the new danger that emerged with the disappearing dust clouds.
"ARGGGGGHHHH… DAMN!!! WHERE ARE THEY!!!" Leaving his red and blue dragons to fly right above the castle, ready to attack, Gofu, this World's strongest KOS player, who had landed hard on the Shrine square with his yellow dragon, was shouting in anger that he had not caught up with the presence of King Aramis and Buck, the very powerful enemies he wanted to fight.
"BACK OFF, YOU MAD ONE!!! THEY ARE NOT HERE ANYMORE!!!" Haites stood defiantly before Gofu's dragon, determined. He was aware that Gofu was not going to attack his own members because he knew that Gofu was just an outlaw that always went after very strong players, but he was still trying to be cautious.

"HAH. AND NOW YOU HAVE COMPLETELY LOST YOUR CHANCE!" Despite all the terrible problems experienced, Haites began to feel at peace now because Murder Event, one of the two bloody periods of this world, was over.And even Gofu, despite being the strongest KOS player, wouldn't prefer to attack players outside of this period because the system's penalties against it were too severe.
Other players in the square were now starting to breathe a sigh of relief.
Unlike the phone game, in this world, the scores were not announced live during the period. It was calculated and announced to everyone within minutes of the end of the period.
"Who do you think is the winner?" Karmalita asked Cave, who was standing next to her, curiously.
"Well… We know all the deaths that have occurred. So Pump… or Ahmed, who is still standing before us… or one of the dead KOS trio…"

"WHAT!!!" Everyone was shocked at the same time and they were looking at each other. The player named Ocean, who is one of the most calm and peaceful players in this World, and even known for leaving his alliance to show his reaction against this bloody system and fighting alone, became the first by killing the most players, but how? Not a single player was announced during this period who might have been killed by him.

It was the first time in this World that there was a situation like this and the system gave a lag warning and published a message late, that is, now.
But even more strangely, the still-alive player Ahmed had been announced as dead.
"Me?" Ahmed was looking at the other players on the field, who were looking at him with brows furrowed and surprised at the time, but he realized the truth when he tilted his head slightly with the sudden burst of pain he felt in his heart. The sharp metal of a long sword slid down his back, smashing his heart out of his chest. With blood flowing from his mouth, he said his last word. "Ho…w…." And his lifeless body fell to the ground…
"This feeling is good… So good. AHHAH … HAH HAH HA" And player Ocean, who appeared behind Ahmed's body that fell to the ground, started to laugh with joy…
