Re: Evolution Online

934 Who is the winner?

Soon, the last hundred were also taken care of, and the entire guild collapsed on the spot.

They looked at the sky lifelessly as a sense of victory slowly overcame them. They were finally able to see the night sky and the stars and the moon without the presence of the constant slit-like eyes that wanted to devour them. 

There wasn't a single ison left behind buzzing. They had taken down every last one of the insects!

"Fuuuuuccccckkkk!" Alex shouted loudly as she dropped down on the charred dirty ground and inhaled big mouthfuls of air. 

Several parts of her armor were already cracking. There were even some noticeable holes in her leather pants and leather shirt.

However, she was one of the few who was slightly on the better side. As a metal plate user, she did not suffer so much as Shen Yue and Mei Mei, whose items were even worse.

But no one cared about these small things at the moment. 

They were completely dead as they rested on the ground breathlessly, their eyes dazed and blanked out and their head dizzy enough to see small birds circling them.

Everyone continued to lay still in that fashion for a few more minutes, no one willing to move an inch despite the unbearable stench of the ison corpses.

What a training session!

This was the hardest they had fought in a long time, and it had taken every last ounce of strength and energy from their haggard bodies!

Despite Liam being present right next to them, they were not new to the ruthlessness of their guild leader. 

So they were very aware that their life was in their own hands, and they could not rely on their guild leader to swoop in and save the day.

If they had faltered in this training session, each and every single person was sure that there would have been casualties. So they had truly given it their all.

However, everything was so worth it. They had been dancing on the edge of their lives for an entire hour, and every single minute of the struggle was absolutely worth it!

This was because…

"I am Level 40, bitches!" Rey shouted loudly.

"Shut up, I am 42." Alex rolled her eyes.

Not just them, but it looked like most of the elite members of the guild had reached Level 40 as, one by one, every single person started announcing their achievements loudly.

And then the really gifted ones opened their mouths…

"Shen Yue, you seem very silent. What is your current level?" Alex asked in a polite tone. Everyone immediately quieted down as the dynamic between these two women was always a little shaky. 

Although they had perfect coordination and behaved like true teammates during all the dungeon runs and important life-and-death moments like this fight, once the dust settled down, one could sense a small but definitely present frost in their relationship.

Most people also seemed to be aware of the reason behind this frostiness, though only Rey had the audacity to announce it openly once in a while.

"I am at 45." Shen Yue curtly replied.

"Hmmm?" Alex immediately somehow found the energy to jolt upright to a sitting position as she looked at the mesmerizingly beautiful face staring back at her. "You said 45?" She asked, her voice becoming high-pitched.

Several others also perked up their ears as they listened to the conversation with interest.

"Yes." Shen Yue nodded calmly.

This was followed by a pin-drop silence as no one dared to open their mouths. Only the sound of Liam's minions starting to harvest all the isons could be heard in the background.

Some people even looked away as they could sense some invisible daggers shooting between these two women, and they did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

"It's only because of the items." Shen Yue revealed her daggers, glinting maliciously under the moonlight.

"True. True. You do have two legendary items. I can't compare with you." Alex shrugged.

At this time, Mei Mei also chimed in. "Sis Alex, I am also at Level 42!"

"Good job, guys." Alex bitterly smiled.

However, the train did not end there. As if on cue, Lan Fen also opened her mouth, eager to make friends with these big shots of the guild.

"Sis, I am also Level 43!" She did not stop there and also looked at Lan Deming. "Deming, you said you were 42, right?"

Fuck! Lan Deming swallowed nervously as he shook his head a little. This sister of his had absolutely no tact! Why did she even open her mouth right now?!

He nervously looked at the fierce redheaded guild vice-leader and tried to see if she was going to go ballistic. 

Thankfully for him, she was really dead tired, so Alex just nodded and lowered her head to look down at the ground. However, the disappointment in her eyes was very clear.

Some more deadly silence ensued after this.

While fighting, it seemed like a struggle for their survival, but now that the hard part was over, it seemed more like a competition.

And as always, like in any competition, there were winners and losers. Here, clearly, Shen Yue had bagged that winner position as her level seemed to be the highest among everyone.

Though outwardly, it seemed like this victory was only because of the pair of legendary grade daggers, everyone had fought side by side, so they knew that even she had given it her all.

It would be foolish to say that her success was solely because of the daggers.

At this point, a burst of laughter rang out loudly, breaking the silence. "Aren't you guys forgetting something important?" Liam walked over with a smile on his face. 

"In this setting, there is no group raid effect or party effect for experience points sharing. So those who tanked and did other support roles would have leveled up a lot less when compared to the main damager dealers of the party."

Ah… Everyone immediately nodded in realization. His words specifically made a certain redhead smile a little, small blush creeping up her cheeks.
