Chapter 103 Killing Barbara
However, the team led by SnowflakeChaser managed to hold off the elite bandits' attack.
However, Alan knew their struggle was far from over.
Because the bandits from Blackwind Stronghold never played by the rules.
As expected, just after SnowflakeChaser and the others killed the elite bandits, dozens more elite bandits and the second-in-command of Blackwind Stronghold rushed out!
"Run."
In an instant, SnowflakeChaser grasped the gravity of the situation.
To avoid losing levels, she had to lead her subordinates in a hasty retreat.
"A bunch of cowards, that's all they are."
The second-in-command of Blackwind Stronghold laughed triumphantly.
Alan shook his head. 'Bullies!'
Alan fired an arrow which hit the second-in-command of Blackwind Stronghold right between the eyes.
Critical hit!
[-420,158!]
A massive damage number appeared, scaring the second-in-command of Blackwind Stronghold.
Then, Alan's second arrow was already on its way.
Twelve arrows per second!
In fact, the second-in-command didn't even get the chance to see all twelve arrows.
He was already killed.
After killing the second-in-command, Alan pressed forward.
The remaining elite bandits couldn't withstand Alan's damage and all fell.
After dealing with them.
Alan headed towards Blackwind Stronghold again.
Inside, the stronghold was deserted.
"They ran fast."
Alan was a bit helpless, but it was also because he hadn’t rushed in with all his might, giving the leader of Blackwind Stronghold time to escape.
Because he wasn’t here to wipe out Blackwind Stronghold.
He wanted to give the leader a chance to report back.
At the warehouse, as expected, a lot of standard weapons were piled up here.
The attributes were average, just enough for new players in Central City to use temporarily.
It was better than nothing.
Alan put everything into the guild warehouse, as every little bit counts.
After doing all this, He waited in Blackwind Stronghold.
He didn’t have to wait long for the person he was expecting to show up.
"Ice King." Barbara walked up slowly. "I know the Queen sent you into the Snow Corpse ruins, and you're upset, but we can discuss things. Coming here to vent isn’t appropriate."
"I'm not here to vent. It's reasonable for a player to explore a wild map."
Alan smiled faintly.
"Ice King, let's not beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it."
Alan nodded. "Barbara, since you've put it that way, I won't be subtle."
"I helped you guys out of goodwill, but you schemed against me. It's only fair to ask for some compensation."
Although Alan had agreed to kill Barbara for Ashley, f he could gain some benefits from Barbara before killing her, that would be a bonus.
"What do you want?" Barbara asked seriously.
"Give me a special piece of equipment, preferably with a lifesteal attribute," Alan said.
Barbara shook her head. "That's not realistic. Ask for something more reasonable."
"Then tell me, what is reasonable?"
"Fifty free attribute points."
WIth that Alan shook his head. "I get that much just from clearing a dungeon for the first time. Three hundred."
"Impossible." Barbara's expression turned grim. "One hundred."
"If you don't agree, we can abandon Blackwind Stronghold. I don't believe you can keep guarding it forever."
Alan nodded. "Alright, a hundred it is."
[Barbara has given you 100 free attribute points.]
After receiving the free attribute points, a satisfied smile spread across Alan's face.
"Good. I won't trouble Blackwind Stronghold anymore."
Barbara nodded. "Ice King, the Queen wants to make an alliance with you. This was just a test. I hope you understand."
"An alliance?"
Maybe, but Alan had his own plans.
Raising his hand, an arrow shot through the air.
Barbara was startled. Her speed was incredible, almost instantly dodging Alan's attack.
'Impressive!' Alan's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Quick reflexes, huh? Let's see how you handle my Tempest Arrowstorm."
Alan fired five arrows simultaneously, with an attack speed of twelve. That meant sixty energy arrows flew out in one second.
With so many energy arrows, dodging was nearly impossible.
"Ice King, what are you doing!"
Alan didn't respond, unleashing a barrage of arrows.
"Ice Shield!" Barbara raised her hand, summoning a massive shield.
As expected, the shield shattered instantly.
Such shieldsusually had both a time limit and a damage threshold.
But the damage on Alan's arrows was just too high.
However, just as the shield broke, Barbara disappeared.
"Not good!"
Alan immediately turned around, instinctively unleashing a barrage of arrows.
But it was too late.
A massive magic circle appeared beneath Alan's feet.
Countless ice spikes shot towards Alan.
Alan didn't care, continuing his relentless attack.
[-210,858.]
[-210,861.]
Massive damage numbers appeared; Alan's damage was incredibly high.
And the ice spikes didn't affect Alan at all.
"How is this possible?" Barbara was terrified.
However, she had no time to think, because Death Reincarnation was triggered at that moment.
Barbara dead!
[You have killed Barbara. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you want to hide your name?]
"No."
Under normal circumstances, Alan would choose to hide, but this time, he didn't plan to.
He wanted the Queen and everyone else to know that he killed Barbara for Ashley.
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for killing Barbara. Keep up the good work, players.]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for killing Barbara. Keep up the good work, players.]
The server-wide announcement echoed throughout the game world.
It didn't cause much of a stir among the players.
But among the NPCs, it caused a huge uproar.
Especially among the nobility.
Many people were familiar with Barbara's strength.
Moreover, Barbara's identity was extremely sensitive; she was Queen Susan's trusted aide.
'So, jIce King just took out Barbara like that?'
'Ice King was practically asking for death.'
'This Ice King is way too arrogant.'
