MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 243: Box of the Dead



As soon as the first light of the morning dawned over the land, the fights began, and the Originals were woken up from their slumber.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They weren't sleeping that well as the dangers of the war loomed over them, but they managed to catch a few hours of shut eye.

Somewhere in the city, an entire section of the city had gone up in flames as battle raged between the foot soldiers of two factions.

Zestruction versus Smilebacks.

With blood spewing and teeth flying, it was one of the bloodiest fights so far.

Smilebacks, in one big group, ran towards Zestruction's forces while screaming their war cries

out.

At that moment, the tank of Zestruction stepped forward, carrying his heavy shield, which was almost as big as him, and let out a deafening scream.

Smilebacks attacked him.

With his heavy shield, he tanked all of their attacks without taking a single step backwards.

"Is that all you got, scum?!" The tank laughed at their futile attempt.

At that moment, magic spells flew behind the tank, hitting the front group of Smilebacks and forcing them to retreat a few steps back.

"Onwards!" The tank swung his sword and charged forward.

In the middle of the street, two sides clashed, the steel blades swinging, spears flying, magic spells exploding, and the ground shaking with each blow.

When the fight turned even more intense, the leaders of both sides stepped forward to meet each other at the center of the street.

Others calmed down with their attacks and retreated to allow the two leaders to face off without any disturbances.

This was a leader showdown, and it was an extremely important fight in any battle.

It was because the winning side would have a great increase in morale and momentum, while the losing side would suffer a significant blow to their confidence.

Smilebacks' 20th division commander, Para, held dual swords and was as big as a boulder, with muscles bulging out of his armor.

It looked like he would fit more as a tank.

Zestruction's captain of the 50th squad, Volume, stood across from him, towering over Para with a cocky grin on his face.

While Para was as big as a boulder, Volume was as tall as a tree.

Volume wielded a staff.

He was a magician.

They circled each other while their subordinates watched without averting their gaze even for a moment. These kinds of fights could end in an instant.

Para made the first move. It was obvious that he would since he was the one with swords, and Volume would need some time to cast his incantations, so it was unlikely that he would make a first move.

Para activated a skill. It gave him greater acceleration speed, and he quickly closed the distance between them. The two swords were approaching.

Volume tapped the ground with his wooden staff and said, "Go fly."

The ground under Para's feet shot up in a sharp angle, launching Para into the air.

Volume aimed his staff at him and said. "Magic Missile Storm!"

From the tip of the staff, magic missiles shot out; they all flew at Para from different angles, surrounding him from all changes, and since he was in the air, it was impossible for him to dodge!

Para's eyes widened, and he just tried to block the magic missiles with his armor.

Boom!

The magic missiles landed on him, causing a sizeable explosion, and Para fell straight to the ground, his armor burned, and his face was covered in soot.

Cheer~!

Zestruction side was cheering as it looked like it would be an easy victory for them.

Smilebacks looked dead serious.

Para landed on the ground, injured and struggling to stand up.

"Heart Pierce." Volume pointed his staff straight at him, and a heart-shaped arrow shot out from its tip and flew straight at Para.

As it was about to land and the defeat looked almost certain, Para's dual swords came crashing down on the arrow, shattering it into a thousand tiny shards.

Volume looked taken aback.

With his insane acceleration, Para shot forward and cut through Volume's armor like a hot knife through butter. The blades managed to slice through his flesh with ease, leaving deep gashes that immediately began to spurt blood.

'This is bad!' Volume jumped backwards and wanted to use Minor Healing on himself, but Para used his super jump to appear above him and kicked him back down to the ground.

Volume crashed on the ground on his back, and Para fell straight down at him, his swords stabbing downwards. He was going for the head!

However, Volume quickly rolled out of the way while those swords stabbed into the

pavement.

"Magic Missile!" He shot out a magic missile randomly to stop Para from chasing after him,

but he just cut through the missile and ran straight after him.

Para was not letting him breathe freely for even a moment!

This was his fighting style-hunting his opponent down relentlessly!

Zestruction's soldiers noticed that the balance of the fight had shifted. Their captain was just running away while chased down.

Smilebacks cheered on for their commander.

Volume's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly coated his staff with his black Kraft and smashed it at the dual swords. The weapons clashed against each other in a deafening cacophony. With a spin of the staff, Volume pushed Para a step backwards and struck him across the chest with a powerful blow.

Para stumbled back but used his dual swords to block another attack by the staff.

It looked like Volume had given up on his Magick as he just couldn't chant the incantations when Para was chasing him like a hunting dog.

However, he was also skilled in staff combat and quickly changed tactics.

"Who do you think you're?!" Volume screamed. "I am Volume the Tricky, the captain of Zestruction's 50th squad, and I've not lost to anyone within my rank yet, and I won't lose now!"

The staff came swinging down.

However, without any warning, the dual swords cut through Volume's knees, and he fell to the ground in a shock. It was clear he didn't know what happened.

"First time for everything." Para said coldly and stabbed his swords through Volume's neck

area.

Volume coughed out blood, but then everything turned dark for him, and he slowly died

because of lack of health.

Silence ~

Zestruction side was quiet, like a grave.

However, their opponents, Smilebacks, erupted in roaring cheers.

Para turned to Zestruction's soldiers, who looked frightened under his gaze, and even

retreated a couple of steps.

"Attack!" Para screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the battlefield.

The fight became one-sided.

Zestruction tried to fight back, but they were completely overwhelmed by Para's forces, and the tank tried to keep everyone alive, but he was swiftly killed off by Para's merciless attack.

A few minutes later, not a single one from Zestruction was alive, and Smilebacks cheered in a

victory.

Para entered one of the buildings.

It was the reason why they fought here in the first place to retrieve something extremely

important for their faction.

It was within Zestruction's territory, that's why the fight happened in the first place.

Every other faction wasn't aware of the item hiding in this place, but Bartholomew somehow

knew.

Para cut through walls to find the item, and after a short while, found a box that had been hid

inside these walls for who knows how long.

"Box of the Dead..."
