MMORPG: Rise of the Peerless Pumpkinmancer
Chapter 117: Jack Vs Village Chief (2/2)The crowd was going wild as they discussed the earlier event.
"Hehe, I can't believe this worked."
"What do you mean? We were truthful!"
"Construction? More like demolition, haha!"
"Hey, guys, look there. They're coming back!"
All heads turned toward the entrance of the burned house. The Village chief slowly walked out, blood staining his chest and fists as he grinned.
"Oy, why is he alone?!"
"Did they have a fight?!"
"Don't tell me the Demon King's dead?!"
The Village Chief jumped up, looking down on the crowd. His powerful muscles and well-defined abs were glittering in the sun, making many players gulp— along with the old lady.
But just as he was ready to speak, a disturbance happened in the air. There was a purple flash, and a man they all recognized appeared.
Jack was akin to an emperor, his proud demeanor overshadowing the chief. Not only was he fully geared, but his cloak also glowed with magical symbols giving him an unfathomable aura.
"The Demon King's back! Hahaha!"
"What's with the purple energy?!"
"Talk about a cool entrance!"
"He's so awesome!"
"Marry me!"
The chief face turned into a mix of surprise, confusion, and anger. How the heck had he teleported there?! It didn't make any sense! But what followed was even worse.
Jack's sonorous voice resounded as he pointed at the chief.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Every member of the Demonic Legion, hear me! From now on, not a single one of you will do a mission for this dastardly village chief. Let him go hunt chickens, foxes, and wolves by himself! We are not kind to the ones that cross us!"
The loyal fans were already on board.
"Understood, leader! I'll spit on whoever disagrees!"
"First Demonic Legion boycott, hahaha!"
"I'll die before going near that old fossil!"
"The Mighty Wolves will follow!"
But not all shared this fanaticism:
"Wait, a war with the NPC?"
"Isn't that taking things a bit too far?"
"Offending the chief? Won't we all suffer?"
"The Demon King finally went mad. He's courting death!"
Overall most were beginning to question this. Who knew how it would escalate and how much trouble they would be in. They just wanted to level up without any hassle.
The village chief couldn't help but chuckle seeing this. So much for turning the braves against him: they were already questioning the bastard.
Soon they would be eating in the palm of his hand instead!
"Hahaha, there is no way that anyone sane will follow you! Let it be heard: anyone that follows this fool will be deemed an enemy of New Leaf!" He announced.
It was as if a cold shower had doused the entire crowd.
"A-an enemy?! No way!"
"Oy, this is dangerous AF!"
"No way that I'll join this madness!"
"Why is he even doing this in the first place?!"
The last question echoed over and over. It was fine for him to be mad, but why was he trying to doom them too?! This was unforgivable.
"Hehehe, because he is greedy and unscrupulous, obviously!" The village chief replied.
"I think there might be a misunderstanding here—" Igor tried to interject in Jack's favor.
"Silence! He's trying to harm the village!" The chief shouted.
Was this truly his goal?
All eyes turned toward Jack, some supportive, some confused, but most were disappointed. But then Jack slowly raised his head. His eyes were damp and red, from fury and sorrow.
Many held their breath as they saw his state. Was this all for show? How amazing of an actor was he?! Many even swore that his upcoming words wouldn't sway them.
He slowly uttered:
"Why? Because this fucker slaughtered Moon Moon."
"…."
"…."
"Tch— as if anyone would ever care about that dumb wolf! You'll be following it soon enough anyway!" The village chief chuckled.
Many couldn't help but picture the happy little wolf.
Anyone from New Leaf had seen it at some point. Whether it was resting on its master's head or following half a step behind it, it always looked so damn cute.
They were inseparable. They were always adventuring together and would even share meals together. Heck, he cared so much about it that Jack had made it the symbol of his faction.
Moon Moon was the number one reason people were adventuring in the wolf territory. They also wanted to have that kind of bond, to have a cute companion following them around.
In Jack's eyes, they saw the pain of losing his best friend.
"He killed Moon Moon?!"
"He fucking killed Moon Moon!"
"That monster! No wonder he's mad!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA pink-haired girl in the crowd gave a wry smile. Seraphine clearly knew that Moon Moon would respawn. It wasn't the first time it died.
This incident had been enough for a boycott. How would he react if the wolf were to perish truly? Would the village still be standing?
That's when she mischievously shouted:
"Avenge Moon Moon!"
This single sentence was akin to a spark in drought season. It gave rise to an inferno.
"Avenge Moon Moon!"
"Avenge Moon Moon!"
"Avenge Moon Moon!"
As the shout was repeated over and over, it increased in intensity. All until it was so loud that it made the entire village tremble. At this moment, all players heard this chant, even the ones in the forest!
Everyone heard of Moon Moon and how it had to be avenged, even new players just logging in.
The Village Chief looked around in incomprehension. What was their problem?! It was just a weak wolf. Why did they care that much about it?! It didn't make any sense.
At this rate, they would even attack him! Even if he was fine, would the village survive?! What about his house?! He couldn't let this go any longer!
"SILENCE! The one who is known as the Demon King! For causing destruction unto the village and scheming toward its demise….. I declare you an enemy of New Leaf!" He spat out.
His shout was so loud that it rendered the entire village quiet. In the silence, one thing was now extremely glaring.
"What's that?!"
"Oh god, this is bad!"
"Conflict is inevitable now!"
Some lettering had appeared above the Demon King's head.
Demon King
Jack'O Level 10
But his name was blood red…...
