Soul Fusion Online-Chapter 154: Failed Plans
"Ryu, are you really not going to do anything?" Rose became worried when she saw that Chi was trapped. She couldn't understand why Ryu was so calm still.
"Rose, you underestimate Chi. She is much stronger than you think. Although they might have trapped her for the time being. How long can it truly keep her contained? If we start losing, I will step in. Right now, I am just letting our people have fun. Do you see the smiles on their faces as they rush forward? Although the NPCs of this world may be strange, we as players are still very much that, players. Unlike real life, where work is just work, this is still a game. A game we play for enjoyment. It is just that working in this game is more rewarding than in real life.
"Think of it like this. In a game, you decide what you wish to do. If you wish to be lazy and only farm what you need to survive each day, you can. But if you want to rise to the top and become the strongest, you can as well as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort. In a way, this game depicts human nature perfectly. As humans, we like to do as we please. When forced to do hard labor and see no return, we are less likely to want to do anything. But in a game, you can see your rewards the harder you work, making you want to work harder.
"Sadly, today's society does not really allow for such things. No matter how hard some people work, they can never change their lives due to situations out of their control, and this is where working under someone can make things hard. Although I plan to finish college, I also plan to change my major to something I can use on my own." Ryu has had so much time to think about his future after he was back to normal that he decided that he would go into programming and learn a trade he can do on his own. Even if he was set for life, it was still a good idea to have a skill that he could use at any time.
"I see..." Rose gave Ryu a funny look. She wondered why he was suddenly talking about life when they were at war!
On the front lines, the numbers were smoothly handling the situation. They had also noticed that Chi had been captured but seeing how she was not in danger, they continued to concentrate on the battle in front of them. Their goal was to keep anyone from Serenity from dying! As for Chi, her expression was not too good. "I will kill them… How dare they use some kind of barrier to trap me!"
"Vice Leader, what do we do!?" One of the guild members asked.
"Darlings~ don't worry, let Margie deal with it all. Because once Margie becomes serious, nothing can stop me!" Margie had a flash of light streak across his eyes. He rotated his shoulders to loosen his body up. He pulled the big broad sword off his back and walked towards the barrier. He held his broad sword out in front of him and clenched tightly on the hilt. "Now, Darlings~ Watch closely, because you are about to see something amazing! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Margie raised his sword and slashed down. A large explosion rang out, causing the whole area to shake. Everyone who was watching the scene stood there dumbfounded at what they were seeing. The barrier easily shattered under Margie's might in an explosion of flames, causing the barrier to break apart like glass and fall towards the ground. All of a sudden, a deep, loud, angered voice filled the battlefield. "Who dares to fuck with Margie's Guild!? Margie will now fuck you all really good!"
Ryu almost fell out of the tree hearing Margie's real voice. "Hah…. Hahahaha! I knew I liked him for a reason!" Ryu burst out laughing. He watched as Margie ran towards a group of Golden Sword members and waved his sword. Instantly twenty Golden Sword members were cut in half. "Those who dare fuck with Margie's guild will die!"
Chi watched on with a stupefied expression. She was completely unsure how to grasp this situation. In the end, she sent Ryu a message: "Ryu, I think Margie is broken."
"Broken indeed! Margie needs to be promoted to general!" Ryu did not want to lose Margie!
"Yeah, I also think he is perfect to be a general." Chi completely agreed with Ryu's decision.
On Golden Sword's side, Gene and BurningToast stared at the change of situation in disbelief. "I thought you said that array was unbreakable!? How the fuck did that sheboy fucking break it!?" Gene yelled out. He couldn't understand! How was it that it only took one person to break the barrier!?
"Gene, it said in the array method that no one more than two realms higher than the one who set up the array would be able to break it! But now..." BurningToast was at a loss of words. He had no idea how this could have happened. Each one of the people who set up the array was all stage one soul sensing! Everyone knew once you reached soul sensing realm that the leveling process slowed greatly! Even Ryu had not made it past that stage yet. But here, a sheboy actually shattered the array with just pure strength!
"Whatever the case may be, we are now fucked!" Gene yelled. His words were not wrong because he was watching as a sheboy and a fox girl began demolishing his guild as if they were nothing but ants.
"Gene! BurningToast! How dare you try to trap me!" Chi was mad! She was having fun all the way until she got trapped! She wanted to kill these two bastards! Since Margie opened a path, she would do so!
"Shit, retreat! Retreat!" Gene saw Chi turn into a streak of lightning and became afraid. He felt the same pressure from Chi as he did from Ryu, which meant her strength was on par with Ryu's! The husband and wife duo was actually a match made in heaven! Both were good looking and strong as hell! "BurningToast, your information was wrong! How the hell is she Ryu's weakness!?"
"How was I supposed to know she was this strong? She never fights!" BurningToast yelled back. He was starting to get sick of this guild leader of his who kept blaming him for his own mistakes!
"Chi, darling~. Let me have a little Gene boy! He seems to need another spanking~" Margie called out from behind Chi, which caused Chi to almost trip and fall. How the hell was this man so fast!? She was moving at the same speed it takes for lightning to strike!
When Gene Heard Margie call out his name, memories of the time at the inn when he was bent over a table and spanked in public resurfaced, causing him to break out in a full body cold sweat. "Fuck!" Gene turned and ran as fast as he could! He did not want to get caught by that sheboy ever again!
BurningToast spaced out as he watched Gene take off like a scared rabbit. He, too, wanted to turn and run, but before he could, a soft white delicate looking hand grabbed his shoulder. "And where the fuck do you think you are going? Hmmm?"
"I uh…. I…. Please don't kill me! I was just following Gene's orders!" BurningToast was finally scared. When facing Ryu, it was fine. He could face him head on, but when a girl was looking at him like that, his whole body froze up, and he couldn't move. Girls were scary as hell when they were mad!
"Oh, don't worry, I won't kill you just yet..." Chi gave him a beautiful smile which caused BurningToast to shake uncontrollably. He suddenly realized he had pissed off satan herself.
Beauty, who was watching the whole sudden turn of events, bit her fingernails in frustration. "Damnit! With things as they are now, there is no way we can do anything." After thinking for a moment, she decided it was best to return and reorganize. "We will retreat for now. When we get back, all those who did not listen to orders are to be kicked from the guild. The list is long for those who wish to join. But first, get some lawyers. I want to make a binding contract for those who join the guild. This way, we can take their real life assets and get back the money we spent on them if they are not willing to follow orders."
"Yes, Miss... I will get someone on it right away." One of her guards replied as he turned and began ordering a retreat. Today's decision by Beauty would soon have a huge effect on the game itself. Many new guilds will be formed along with the salary that came with being a member of a guild, a new trend of having members sign binding contracts in game to keep people in line would begin.
"Ryu, I think we are in the clear." Rose said as she saw the change of situation. Both the leaders of Golden Sword were captured and the numbers were leading Serenity in killing off the remaining members. The first guild war of Soul Fusion Online resulted in a landslide victory. Serenity suffered not a single loss in the war.
