The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

Rival

In a room, there were several men and women sitting quietly while looking at each other. The atmosphere inside felt extremely tense, perhaps because they were all leaders of the Top Guild, the sense of competition they had also became extremely strong.

There were 20 seats in the room, 16 of them were fully filled and 4 were still left empty, and that meant there were still 2 more Guild leaders who had yet to come into this room.

"I just got word from Evelord, he said he's currently busy holding back the Dark Legion forces in the north, so he's sorry for not being able to come."

A blond man stood up, and told him the news he had just received. The blond man was named Helliosh, the leader of the Garuda Crown Guild.

"Well, what can I do. Then what about Queen, didn't she come too?" Alan, the leader of the Lotus Guild asked.

"I don't know for sure, but it's possible he's just as busy as Evelord." Answer Helliosh.

But right after Helliosh said that, suddenly the entrance opened, a beautiful blonde-haired girl walked into the room with graceful and dazzling steps. That girl was Queen, the leader of the Crescent Moon Guild.

Everyone's gaze was immediately fixed on her, it was not wrong if the world called her The Ice Goddess, because the beauty she possessed was extraordinary. Not only men, even women who were here were also amazed by her beauty.

"Sorry, this is my first time coming to Indonesia, so I'm a little lost." Say Queen before sitting in her chair.

Indeed, currently 9 out of 10 well-known Guild leaders are gathering in Indonesia, rather they are in the Garuda Crown hotel building to discuss something very important.

"Good, then I'll start the discussion." Rance, Ranker number two, as well as the leader of the Ouroboros Guild stood up and began to explain.

As Rance began to explain, the atmosphere in the room that was at first noisy, instantly turned silent. They all fell silent and listened to him carefully.

Long story short, the contents of Rance's explanation are roughly like this.

Dark Legion, a group consisting of Demons, Ghosts, Demons, and Monsters. It has now started to move, and it is attacking one of the human kingdoms located in the north.

Wars between humans and demons have occurred frequently. However, just this time the Dark Legion army attacked the human Kingdom with its full power, even the Kingdom that was attacked was destroyed without any rest.

After the kingdom was destroyed, the Dark Legion again declared that in a few months they would return to humans with a power far stronger than before.

Upon hearing the call from the Dark Legion, naturally the humans became panicked and excited, they all started to seek shelter and even the three empires that were once hostile to each other, they all started to seek shelter, he has now promised to hold a ceasefire.

However, how did the Dark Legion respond upon seeing that? They all laughed and said they didn't care as if what humans were doing right now was just a toy to them.

That meant the combined might of the three empires was still insufficient to match the power that the Dark Legion was hiding.

And here's where the real problem is. Once the human side knew that, the emperors did not stay silent.

If the Dark Legion side had extremely powerful weapons, then the human side also had one of its own advantages.

What advantages does the human side have? The answer is, of course, the players!

Players are immortal beings that can come back to life. Because of this privilege, emperors began to make use of it by placing gifts on each demon head they killed.

But even so, the human side still felt anxious, because they still did not know what kind of power the Dark Legion was hiding.

"So, we have to withstand the attacks from the Dark Legion while simultaneously searching for information about the power they are hiding huh?" Alan stroked his chin while looking at the sky.

"You're right, but lately the attacks from the Dark Legion have been terrible, even the highest-level knights have begun to be overwhelmed by it." Helliosh expressed his opinion.

"Hahaha you're right too, after all what the hell this Quest is, why we low-level players have to fight such monstrous monsters." Keep going Alan again.

"That's it, but by the way Helliosh, who is that pretty girl next to you? I've never seen one." Asked Red, the leader of the Slayer Guild.

After Red said that, suddenly everyone's gazes were instantly fixed on the beautiful girl who was next to Helliosh.

The girl who was next to him immediately nodded before standing up and starting to introduce herself. "Include this girl's name is Lucia, a low-level player."

Lucia introduced herself as simply as possible so as not to attract attention, but still, the charm that came out of her could not be hidden.

"I know, you must be Lucia who broke Vayez's record in the Golem Dungeon right?" Alan asked with a slight shout.

"Yes, it's me, and I hope we can all be good friends." Lucia replied before sitting down and staring intently at Helliosh, she narrowed for quite a while as if to say that she did not feel at home here.

"Hahaha Lucia you're amazing, so tell me, do you have a boyfriend?" Red asked again before being stared intently by Helliosh. Lucia is his sister, so where might Helliosh let his sister be teased by a fucking guy like Red.

Helliosh knew that Lucia would remain silent and not answer such a useless question, but suddenly his guess was wrong, because Lucia who was beside him started to smile and answer.

"I've, I have a very good boyfriend." Answer's short.

Helliosh's eyes instantly widened as if he could not believe what he was hearing. He knew that Lucia would never lie, but if Lucia didn't lie, didn't that mean Lucia had just told him the truth?

"Lucia, since when?" Helliosh asked slightly stuttered, but unfortunately Lucia did not answer him, it was clear that she had ignored the presence of Helliosh who was beside her.

"Hey why are you guys off topic so far!" Rance got up from his chair then patted the table before him quite firmly.

Bam!

The clapping sound was so strong that the commotion that occurred earlier immediately disappeared, and just like before, the atmosphere again became silent as if waiting for the next words to come out of Rance's mouth.

"Good, stay still and focus, right now I'm just having one problem that I haven't been able to solve." Rance looked at everyone in front of him and said.

"I need an assassin who can sneak into the Dark Legion headquarters."

"Pfftt hahahahaha Rance are you kidding me? Where there might be an assassin who can do that, even you know for yourself that even the best Assassin NPCs cannot enter it." Alan laughed loudly until his stomach hurt, what Rance said was actually very funny, and he laughed as if he heard the best joke of the year.

"Shut up! We need someone who is good at sneaking, do you have any information about that person?" Ask Rance again.

Upon hearing the question, almost everyone in the room immediately frowned, but excluding Lucia and Queen, when it came to sneaking around, there was only one person who was very good at it.

Lucia wanted to answer immediately if she knew it, but before she opened her mouth, Queen suddenly raised her hand up and started talking.

"I have a friend who is very good at sneaking around, it might be very easy for him to enter the Dark Legion headquarters."

Everyone's gazes instantly widened, they wouldn't believe if there was anyone who could do that, but if Queen herself were to say it, such a player would definitely exist.

"I understand, so what's the name of this player?" Asked Rance, he began to surmise who the name of the great Ranker could do all that and even received praise from Queen.

"Nier's."

Queen replied briefly, but after she said that, suddenly a girl's gaze immediately narrowed towards her and the girl who narrowed then asked.

"Heretic Nier?"

True, the girl was Lucia, when she heard Nier's name coming out of the Queen's mouth, she was surprised, but somehow she started to put hostility on Queen.

The Queen also did, knowing that Yue had mentioned that Nier had a partner named Lucia, and after she found out that Lucia was this silver-haired girl. His heart suddenly thumped and his blood instantly rose as if his instincts were to say that this girl in front of him was his greatest enemy.

In silence, the gazes of the two girls met each other and a strong aura of hostility formed between them. Then the two girls started muttering simultaneously.

"He's my rival."
