It was already more than a week since they were left behind in the North.

Discovering Legolas ahead of the other game clubs was one of the greatest achievements that Blue River achieved for his club since Dominator was launched.

Since becoming acquainted with this special NPC, the Blue Autumn team had benefited a lot as they were still the outright leaders of the current crop of players who entered the game during version 1.

It was only when Desert Gust arrived with the other pro players of the Frost Trout team that they got their first real competition.

Despite all that, they still received more than enough benefits for their team to exceed all other players already. It was only till a week ago when their faction leader and his students embarked on a mission deep into the North.

Though Legolas and his students didn't need their help to deceive the 3 Frost Giants that were tasked to watch the teleportation portal, they still tagged along since Legolas already accepted them into his personal entourage.

The mere prospects that they would soon be entering an entirely new plane sent these players into a frenzy since they already experienced the beast plane.

Unfortunately for them, they could not follow the NPCs.

Their virtual interface lit up a notification.

[You have not achieved the required level to access the Ice Elemental Plane!]

[Access Limit: Level 20 and above players!]

At the time, Raining Sword was still only level 18 while Blue River and Ghost Sentry were both level 19. To meet the requirements and reunite with their faction leader, the Blue Autumn team made sacrifices.

They decided to hunt together to gather experience points but to leave the last kill for only Raining Sword, Blue River, and Ghost Sentry.

This way, all 3 of them got to level up faster and meet the limit.

The Frost Trout team also used the same strategy to power-level Desert Gust. Despite their leveling speed as pro players, without Legolas's freebies, it still took them a few days to arrive at level 20.

Before they got ready to leave, they received the interface mission.

And when they saw the 6 Red Master assassins appear on their mounts that corresponded to their codenames, all the players felt a chill crawl down their spines. From what they observed, all 6 were extremely dangerous.

Each one of them had the ability to annihilate them singlehandedly.

"Manchester f*cking united...!" Horny Assassin stressed in a muffled tone.

Raining Sword glared at him.

"I'm sorry…" He apologized. "But we're screwed".

"Shhh…!" Ghost Sentry bonked him on the head.

Horny Assassin was inconsolable though. "Man…, real life and game are being miserable to me it seems".

"The game does not want me to progress…"

"As for real life, say no more, Ronaldo was f*cking sacked by Manchester United…" Tears flowed down this player's eyes.

"And now, even Portugal has been eliminated from the world cup, damn…"

Raining Sword looked at Blue River.

Exasperatedly, Blue River went closer to Horny Assassin. Having understood his personality already, Blue River was able to smoothen his way into his head with sweet words and gently advise him to log out.

Once Horny Assassin logged out, peace reigned again.

In this peace, they started planning on how they should contact their faction leader and warn him about the assassination attempt on his life.

None of them ever thought of betraying Legolas, they already had firm belief that Legolas was the main character of Version 1, they were sticking with him.

In the end, they could not arrive at a plan viable enough to bypass the assassins and deliver the news to Legolas.

For 3 days, they waited until the teleportation portal shimmered again.

Having been waiting for this opportunity for 3 days, all 6 dangerous assassins got prepared but what came out of the teleportation portal was not what they expected. About a hundred Frost Giants charged out.

All the Frost Giants were injured like they just suffered a fierce battle, as soon as they all arrived, King Nagakin deactivated the teleportation portal.

Having heard of their alliance with the Frost Giants already, the assassins were baffled but Buffalo, their leader came out to meet them.

"Why are you here?"

"What happened?"

King Nagakin looked at this human. "You belong to the Clown Society?"

"Yes".

This King exploded. "Why didn't the f*cking Clown Society send their best warriors here? I warned them about the human that infiltrated!"

This assassin's eyes narrowed. "Sexy Chocolate did all these…?" He gestured at all the injured Frost Giants as he spoke.

"…" King Nagakin was speechless.

In the end, he diverted the speech.

"Take me to your leader, I will only speak with your leader".

As powerful allies that were bought after serious negotiations by a Black Master, the assassins dared not refuse them. They escorted them from the North as they embarked on a journey to the Hellfire Mountains.

The players were left behind in the North but they felt even more miserable now. The teleportation portal was already nowhere to be seen.

After days of farming to achieve level 20, now this?

Blue River felt like crying. "We wasted our time".

"F*ck!"

…

Bzzz!

As soon as he felt the incredible surge of energy, Black Master Einstein opened a portal as he smoothly entered the Elemental plane.

With calm eyes, he looked with palpitations in his heart as the Ice territory that was separated over a millennium ago was fused back with the rest of the Elemental plane, he was thoroughly shocked.

His eyes narrowed. "What is King Nagakin up to?"

On returning to the Hellfire Mountains, he received news from a messenger Raven from Buffalo about King Nagakin's desire to come.

His eyes narrowed even further. "He was not the one responsible for this?"

"What happened?"

"Who did this?"

Amid his dilemma on the culprit that was responsible for this incredible display of power, his student knocked before entering the room.

Din bowed respectfully before relaying the news to his master.

"Master, news just came from our spies in the royal family".

"They report that they've already achieved more than was demanded of them, they already have access to King Tom".

Black Master Einstein calmly smiled. "Good…"

"Go prepare a proper welcome for when the Frost Giants arrive".

"Yes, Master".
