Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 78: An Egg!

"Ahh! F*ck! I freaking died!"

"I got freaking killed by a damn flower!"

Michael felt frustrated, because getting killed is one thing, but getting killed by a freaking flower is too embarrassing even though it's only a freaking game!

Michael quickly exited his soul form and finally appeared at the graveyard with a physical body.

"Haist, I just lost ten percent of my current experience points" Michael sighed to himself, and the only good thing is that he didn't drop any items when he died.

'How the heck did those mobs even managed to hide in there without me noticing?' Michael scoffed inside, as he felt stupid from getting outsmarted by a computer generated monster.

Michael's eyes suddenly narrowed the moment he exited the War Temple, and then he jumped backwards and looked around with eyes full of wariness.

'Huh? What was that? I felt some hostility was directed towards me' Michael thought as he felt that a hostile gaze was directed towards him earlier, but it immediately disappeared the moment he noticed it.

'Is it a player?' Michael thought, but he didn't see any players around except for the NPCs who are doing their own business.

But with his experienced as an assassin before, he didn't immediately let down his guard as he continued looking around even though he knows that's its too stupid for someone to cause trouble inside the Fortress with numerous soldiers patrolling this place, especially that he's still in front of the War Temple, where there's even two NPC guards or warriors just standing a few meters behind him.

'Dammit! Is an NPC targeting me? Shit, that would be so bad at different levels if it is!' Michael that the game is taking its immersive reality too far!

How the heck would a player survive if an NPC is targeting him!?

'Shit, the only NPCs I'm close to who's likely to have enemies is the City Lord of Haven City. Don't tell me it's an enemy of theirs?'

'Weird, no one is making a move, are they here to just observe or was it just a coincidence'

Countless thoughts are swimming inside Michael's head, as he didn't dare to let his guard down, and one of his hands is already ready to pull out his dagger anytime if trouble arises!

At another corner of Elwynn Fortress.

A man wearing a cloak covering his whole body is crouching on top of the biggest building of the Fortress, the Church of Freya.

"Kekeke, Marcus was right. This kid is really something, he was actually able to detect that little bit of killing intent that I released, and until now, he's still not lowering his guard" the mysterious man chuckled evilly.

"What an interesting young lad, he might really have the makings of joining the League"

The man then suddenly got shrouded in darkness before immediately disappearing like smoke.

"It seems I'll be watching something interesting from now on"

His voice echoed from the place he disappeared from.

*****

"Still nothing, was it really just a coincidence?" Michael mumbled as he finally lowered his guard after waiting for a few minutes.

But what he didn't notice is that the two guards standing guard in front of the Church of Freya are also warily looking around their surroundings, because they also felt that hostile intent earlier and at the same time, they were also surprised that the man in front of them also managed to detect it even though it only happened in the span of a second, where the rest of the people coming out of the church didn't even feel it except the three of them.

In actuality, it wasn't just them, because that hostile or killing intent earlier covered the entire Fortress and only the powerful individuals managed to detect, including the commander of the army in the fortress, the lord of the town, and other powerful individuals of different professions

But they just ignored it, as they felt that the presence that released it also disappeared a few seconds after that.

While they also didn't dare to confront that person as they also felt threatened by the person's aura that was covering the entire fortress earlier, and all of them knew that they wouldn't stand a chance even with all of them going at that person together.

And even with that, they weren't worried that the person is here to cause trouble, as one of the biggest churches of the Church of Freya is situated inside the Fortress and a War Temple just two kilometers from the Fortress, where the temple is situated inside the Land of Despair.

Michael then just shrugged off what happened, as he had already decided that he would deal with this problem when it appears in front of him, rather than worry about it and delay his level grinding.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Michael had just gotten passed the gate of the church, when an out of control carriage came charging out from a street corner, and briefly brushed passed him, but almost hitting him.

Michael's eyes were wide open in shock and even with his experience as a fearsome assassin before, he didn't expect something like that to happen from out of nowhere!

And then something suddenly caught Michael's eyes, there is an egg, the size of a football(American Football) lying on the street just a ten meters away from him.

Michael immediately dashed towards it, as he noticed another player who travelled with him before also noticed the egg lying on the ground.

Michael dove towards the egg, quickly hugging it and rolled on the ground, beating that other player for two seconds!

Michael immediately stored it inside his [Storage] space, and made a run for it in the opposite direction of the other players.

"Bastard, get back here!"

"That's mine!"

The other player kept shouting while chasing after him, but because Michael is faster than him, the distance between them grew further apart until Michael managed to shook him off after going through three alleyways.

Michael opened his [Storage] and took out the egg, and the information of the egg immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
