Chapter 1076: Oathkeeper
Chapter 1076: Oathkeeper
Some from Shattered did not agree with Orion\'s approach. After all, they believed that the main guild would punish them more for letting someone who eliminated one of their members walk away unharmed. But ultimately, Orion had the last say since he was the one in charge of Fragul\'s Valley.
"To think they would choose willing to take a step back. I guess there are some people with a decent head on their shoulders.\'
There was often a thin line between bravery and stupidity. If one did not tread it carefully, they would end up falling flat on their face.
Izroth had no desire to bully the weak. And, while Shattered may be a subsidiary guild of Broken Exile, he was well aware of how the relationship between a main guild and its subsidiary guild functioned. This was even more so for a guild full of arrogance and pride like Broken Exile.
"Forget it. What\'s done is done. But, an appropriate price has to be paid. All the resources you have gathered-hand them over." Izroth said nonchalantly.
Orion furrowed his brows and said, "I\'m not sure if you know, but the resources of this valley belong to Broken Exile. I know who you are, but it\'s too dangerous to risk making an enemy of a top guild over a bit of resources."
Orion knew that if he handed over the resources in his possession to Izroth, it was the same as giving away what belonged to Broken Exile. There was no way they would not notice the materials missing!
Suddenly, immense pressure descended in the surrounding area, causing the members of Shattered to fall to their knees. Some of the weaker players were even sprawled out on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the fifty-plus members of Shattered had been rendered utterly helpless. "What is this...?! I can\'t move...!" Orion had a difficult time speaking as the pressure was too great.
"Do not overstep my generosity. Originally, I planned on sweeping all the resources of this valley away. Be grateful that I am only taking what you already have in your possession. From now on, think carefully about your words. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences." Izroth stated with an emotionless gaze.
After he finished speaking, Izroth released his Soul Pressure.
Once he released his Soul Pressure, the players from Shattered were able to move freely again. However, Izroth\'s actions left an invisible scar carved into their hearts. Without even lifting a single finger, he managed to suppress everyone present!
The most terrifying thing was that the lowest-level person was level 45, while a large majority present were at or over level 50. Those who were initially against Orion\'s decision to let things pass were suddenly thankful that he chose not to fight. If they clashed with such a monster... Just thinking about it gave them shivers.
Orion struggled to his feet as he caught his breath. The atmosphere around him had become gloomy.
At first, Orion thought Izroth only wanted the materials he had in his inventory. But, that was not the case. He wanted the materials farmed in Fragul\'s Valley by all of the Shattered guild members present!
To make matters worse, if they did not hand over the materials, he would clean out all the materials in Fragul\'s Valley. And, after witnessing Izroth\'s strength firsthand just now, Orion did not think he was bluffing.
Orion closed his eyes and released a heavy sigh.
"It\'s our total defeat." Orion thought to himself with a helpless expression.
...
Several minutes later...
\'Oh? They collected quite a bit. It deviates from my initial plan; however, this will save me some time. Also, in a way, this is an even bigger warning.\'
Forcing its subsidiary guild to submit and willingly hand over all the resources they gathered -once Broken Exile discovered what Izroth did here, they would cough up blood from anger.
Orion ordered the members of Shattered to hand over their resources to Izroth. It did not take much convincing.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
In the end, Izroth acquired hundreds of resources of various quantities and qualities. He only kept a couple of each of the common and uncommon materials. After all, Sleeping Gardenia provided those free of charge due to their relationship with his Mystical Realm Palace. As for the materials of higher grades, Izroth made sure to collect them all.
Naturally, Izroth had no way of looking into another person\'s inventory. Under circumstances, it would have been impossible to tell whether or not they were honestly handing over the materials they were supposed to. But, thanks to his title, Oathkeeper, Izroth was able to make sure no one was holding back any of the resources they collected from Fragul\'s Valley.
"This is my first time using the effects of this title. With the terms I set, there should be no issues.\'
Title Name: Oathkeeper(Primary Rare)
Title Benefit(s):
-Can create an oath between two or more parties. All parties must agree for the oath to take place. A broken oath will result in the agreed penalty for the party responsible for breaking it.
-Exactly once, if death approaches, HP is set to 1, and invulnerability is gained for 3 seconds. After this effect takes place, this title will be permanently removed and can no longer be obtained.
The Oathkeeper title gave Izroth the ability to create "contracts" with others. In this case, the contract was that the other party agreed to hand over all resources in their inventory that they gathered in Fragul\'s Valley with the conditions that Izroth set. This oath would last until all the respected materials were given to Izroth.
The last player to hand over his materials to Izroth walked away with an aura of dejection. However, he was not alone. All the members of Shattered present had the same aura of dejection about them. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do about their misfortune. "We\'ve settled all accounts just as you\'ve asked. I hope you won\'t go back on your word." Orion said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Rest assured, I am a man of my word. I will not touch the material resources within Fragul\'s Valley during my current visit." Izroth replied as he closed his inventory after looking over the last few items he had obtained.
\'It\'s a shame there wasn\'t any mythical-ranked materials. But, I did manage to receive two ancient- ranked materials and a few superior-ranked materials.\'
Mythical-ranked materials were a tier below divine-ranked materials; therefore, Izroth was not too surprised that no one had any in their possession. After all, how could mythical- ranked materials be so readily available?
As for divine-ranked materials, Izroth did not even entertain the thought. If this place was capable of producing divine-ranked materials, there was no way Broken Exile would have left it in the hands of their subsidiary guild.
