A Shadowy figure was jumping from branch to branch in a forest. The figure was so fast that it looked like a blur of movement.
A blue screen popped in front of the figure face as a female Voice spoke through his mind like telepathy.
[Lady Weirdo]: "Captain! We have Visual on the target."
Another voice spoke up this time A more youthful and full of energy male like voice.
[Itzz Rook]: "Captain!! Should we engage the target!?"
The shadowy figure sighs and looks back at the screen as his serious tone voiced out.
[Zero]: "Do not Engage! I Repeat DO NOT ENGAGE! I'm a few clicks out I will be there to Evaluate the situation myself. am I understood Scouts?"
[Lady Weirdo]: "Yes Sir!"
[Itzz Rook]: "Yes Sir!"
[Feugo]: "Yes Sir!"
After seeing all his squad mates agree with his orders Zero launched off the next branch like a bullet as the branch cracked with Splinters exploding everywhere from just one leap.
A few miles away from zero position 3 humanoid figures was standing on different branches on a tree "A few Clicks out really!? that will take for-" Before Rook could finish his last word another Figure appeared above them landing on two branches higher than where they were standing on without making any sound only the air that brushed them from the sway of the branch made the three scouts look up.
The figure that appeared was their captain Zero as his Red eyes pierce through the darkness of the forest.
"You were saying Scout Rook?" Zero says looking down at Rook with a serious gaze as he crouched on the branch. Rook looked at his Captain with nervous sweat.
"I wasn't saying anything sir!" Rook says in a hurry voice Zero smirk at the scout than looked out towards the opening through the trees as a Large plain of grasslands can be seen along with twelve figures standing in middle of the open green plains.
Zero used his

("oh!? looks like they really do update the bio of NPCs after they do certain things in their life .... cool.") Zero says thinking to himself looking at the Baron as the man was a short bald chubby man as if his mother fucked a pig with his white and pinkish like skin tone and his noble attire that was purple and blue colored.

Zero narrows his eyes at the Lucas guy who was wearing Black & Blue Mage attire while wielding a black metal staff with A large black orb floating on top of the staff with a blue Arcane runic ring around it. The guy had a face that only a mother could love as he look more like the old classic vampires than an Elf With his long white hair.
("Hmmm...A Second tier Boss.") Zero thought to himself as he Analyzed the six guards around the baron and Lucas.
("the guard's levels weren't even higher than level 30 none of them are even elites. this would've been an easy mission for Zero and his squad. but there was always a catch to everything") Zero thinks to himself as he glanced towards the other four figures who was meeting the with the baron.
These four figures were all players he Analyzed them as well.

Mirage is a Tall slim pretty boy high Elf With golden skin tone and Pink colored Mohawk hairstyle with white bangs. His Attire is that of a mage with purple & gold colors.
Zero closed his eyes after Analyzing the situation. ("These players are rankers and two of them are high rankers. I would tell my scouts about this, but this should be a great trial for them to overcome once they reach level 50, they will look back at this as a blessing. yeah let's see how all that training I put them through will pay off against these guys.") Zero thought to himself. Then open his red piercing eyes back up with determination.
[Zero]: "Listen up scouts! this is how we will proceed..."
Zero mentally says in their group party chat as his squad mates all nodded in unison.
"So do you agree to the terms and conditions of this contract baron?" Turk says in a deep smoker-like voice with his arms crossed scanning the area with his eyes for threats.
"Yeah. yeah. just get me out of here before that damn Leo gets here!!" The baron yells out with fear as his face turns pale thinking about what's going to happen to him if the rangers catch up.
Turk smirked at the Baron as he gazes at the short fat man.
"Good, let's proceed towards the location." Turk says as he was turning around in till he stopped mid-way looking towards the trees southeast of their position as they sway weirdly, and he saw Multiple projectiles heading towards them.
"Incoming projectiles watch out!" Turk yells out loud to warn the group but it was too late.
Lucas managed to put up a Magical Barrier around himself and the baron but the baron soldiers wasn't so lucky as they all was riddled with bolts & arrows.
during all the commotion four figures appeared in front of the group.
"Rangers!!! they already here but how!?" The baron yells out in surprise.
"Baron Philip Kudo! Under the authority of his majesty you are to be Apprehended and face trial under the royal court of the kingdom of Asuka!" Zero voice yells out for all to hear.
Turk observed the newly arrived players in front of him he looked at the one Who spoke as the guy wore a dark green hooded cloak that obscure his face in darkness with only his red eyes could be seen. Under the cloak he wore dark brown leather chest piece, Leggings, boots, & Gauntlets Two long swords on his back strap together that you can see it poking out from behind his left shoulder.
To Turk Zero looked like the typical ranger class character but there was something about this guy that told him he was dangerous.
The next person he looked at was the female of the arrivals she was pretty in the face with her light blue eyes with long black & golden hair she was human with Light brown skin tone. she was wearing the usual Rangers scout attire that was all black leather armor set that fitted her curves nicely. her weapon of choice was a wooden bow with a black colored quiver loaded with arrows on her back with a rapier & A dagger on her hip for close range fighting.
the next guy was A wood Elf. With Dark oak like Skin tone athletic looking body, Green colored eyes. This guy had a tired look on his face. He wore the All-black Ranger scout attire. His weapon of choice was a Katana on his hip and a folded crossbow strap on his lower back with an all-black quiver on his back loaded with bolts.
The next guy was the most interesting one he was a Draconian standing over 8ft tall. Turk never seen this race as a Ranger class it surprised him and he never usually get shocked but this did it for him. This Draconian male Scales was colored blue like the sky along with his wings and tail. He stuck out like a sore thumb in his all black Ranger Scout attire. His weapon choice was two long swords on his back in a cross position. With the quiver strap to his lower back and his folded crossbow was in a holster on his hip.
Even though it was hard to tell a Draconian age, but Turk could see on the Draconian prideful face he was a teenager as well like the other two scouts they were all young and possibly inexperienced.
"Awe crap! here I Was hoping for a challenge. instead, the Wolves sent the pup squad." Zero look towards the one who spoke it was the tallest and Bulky one the John Mane guy who was wearing the tattered Grey hooded cloak as the man was laughing along with the high Elf who thought it was a good joke.
"You kids should turn back. this is one fight you all don't want." Turk says towards the Rangers.
"That's not happening here. hand over the baron and his adviser and we will let you all go back to whatever kingdom you mercs are working for." Zero says nonchalantly as the mercs gotten quite than bust out laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! Your funny little man! to even think A weak ass Ranger class players like you four could chase us away? only in your dreams. you know how many Rangers we killed so far huh?? you pups aren't even worth our time!" John Mane says as you can see the smirk under his hood.
("He's trying to provoke us to make the first move....but why?") Zero thought to himself as he scanned around the area for a reason but he saw nothing of interest.
"You think we are scared of you guys? you all are just some washed up old men that is about to get your asses handed to ya!" Rook yells out towards the group of mercs as he stood tall with his arms crossed looking cocky and prideful as his tail swings wildly.
"Hurry and deal with this matter!!! if they are here That damn Leo isn't too far behind!" The baron yells out with annoyance.
"Sorry kiddos, but you all had your chance to leave." Turk says with a disappointing tone in his voice.
"it's nap time for you little twerps!! " John says as his smile widen reaching for his weapon.
"Only one needing a Nap is you old bastards!!" Rook yells out as the anger in him took over and made him dash forward towards John who was smiling with confidence.
That is when zero finally notice the reason behind their actions he saw a bright glowing flash in the trees far behind John's left shoulder he instantly reacted as a loud bang sounded off from a gun.
Zero Instantly appeared in front of Rook using his
it all happened in seconds as everyone was shocked and awe at the scene.
in the forest behind the mercs A light green skin tone goblin with leather and fur armor like a hunter's attire was sweating buckets looking at his surroundings as his bolt action rifle scope was damaged showing a bullet hole through it and the tree, he was sitting on has a bullet size hole right beside his head.
"That almost fucking hit me. when and how did that person step in the way and reflect my bullet!? I never seen anything like that!" The goblin sniper says out loud as he stores his rifle back into his storage pouch.
Pulling out another bolt action rifle with a scope on it as well this one was all white instead of wooden colored like the last one as the goblin jumps down off the branch running towards a different direction.
Back at the scene with zero and the mercs. As all was shock to see such reaction speed.
("I don't think even I could do something like that even if I knew it was coming. maybe that was some sort of skill or something for his character.") The master assassin Shabibi thinks in deep thought.
"Shabibi, John! handle the Rangers as me and Mirage take the baron to the location." Turk says as him and the high Elf mage Mirage turns around and starts to run away with the baron and his adviser.
"Scouts! go after the baron don't let him escape!" Zero says out loud as they all nodded at their captain.
Rook takes off at an incredible dash but was block by John.
"Where do you think your going baby LIZARD!!" John yells out as he swings his weapon at Rook.
Clang! Rook eyes went wide when he saw Zero parrying the attack from John as John looked shocked that his attack was Parry back easily.
" Keep going scout Rook! I will take care of these two." Zero says right when Shabibi appears behind him going for an attack with both his dual scimitar swords Zero Instantly reacted blocking than kicking the master assassin pushing him back as Rook took that chance to catch up with his fellow scouts to Pursue the baron and the other mercs.
As Zero kept calm with both the attackers circling him. John stops and throws off his tattered Grey cloak showing the man to be a lion type beastkin male with dark skin tone and a golden Mane that looked majestic.
John unwrapped the bandages on his Halberd the thing was a pure relic. the Shaft and Spike mount was a blue steel like color with runic patterns engraved in it, the axe blade looked like it was made out of bones. Zero can tell that the weapon was powerful.
"That was some impressive combat prowess. I never seen A Ranger move like that. you must be a Ranker like us, right?" john ask as Zero shrug nonchalantly
"Let's just get this over with." Zero says with no hesitation John chuckles at his reply as he dash straight for Zero with battle maniac laughter.
"Don't mind if I do!!!" John yells out as he swings his weapon at Zero.
Zero duck under the swing than dodge the next attack that came down fast towards his head. Zero kept dodging John's attacks like they were in slow motion.
Shabibi started attacking Zero's flank going for openings from dodging John's attacks. Zero Reacted instantly to Shabibi attacks blocking them with ease as he Parry one and then landing a kick into the master assassin stomach.
Shabibi went flying backwards rolling a few feet away. Zero was about to pursue on the advantage. John came lunging down on him with his Weapon glowing with yellow intense aura. Zero Instantly reacted by jumping away into the air as john's weapon skill
Zero whistles at the destruction from that attack. Zero's
"So that's where you went." Zero says to himself looking directly at where the shot came from as he landed back on the ground both Shabibi and John was coming straight at him.
John was the first to reach Zero swinging his weapon towards him as Zero nonchalantly tried to Parry the attack.
{The Skill
Zero looked surprised at what just happened as John smirked at the situation with a prideful look.
( "!? Did he just increase his weapons weight its heavier than before!?") Zero thought to himself as he was launched towards Shabibi like a bullet with John cracking the ground under his feet from the attack. Shabibi went for the opportunity as he used his class ultimate skill
Zero manage to adjust his body into where he was able to put his sword in front of him as the lighting fast ultimate skill was about to land Zero used the skill
Zero than followed up using his One-Handed sword Skill
{
Zero slides across the ground than flicked the blood off his sword as he prepared for the next attack from John who was enraged.
Dodging the mercenary attacks with ease zero than swung his sword using the skill
Zero used the one-handed sword skill
{
Zero dodge another shot while pulling out his folded crossbow from his back shooting back at the sniper.
{
"Damn it. only wounded him that is one lucky ass sniper." Zero says out loud with a sigh as he almost let his guard down his
this time it was coming from something behind him as he looked up to see a fully restored smiling John with his halberd was coming straight down splinting Zero's figure in Half....
