'Dammit!'
The skill could be activated during one battle. If Ziro had activated his skills on the first floor, then they would be deactivated upon clearing the first floor.
Ziro activated his skill on the 20th floor, and they deactivated when the floor was cleared. And now, all his skills were on cooldown.
However, that was trivial for Ziro. With or without his sin-game skills, he had decided to annihilate the red dragon guild.
He picked up his sword from the floor and dashed at Byldger and his guild. But, the guild members covered Byldger with shields.
Ziro broke through their barrier and pushed everyone aside, but there were too many of them. Some were pulling ZIro back, while some were pushing him back.
Ziro was fighting and dodging all of their attacks at once, but he couldn't advance further.
"I am going to kill you!"
Kevin rushed to Ziro and stopped him. "Stop it, Ziro."
"Like hell, I am stopping!"
"You can't kill a player unless in a duel; if you do, you will get a yellow color name that will ban you from participating in any raids and events for a month," Kevin informed.
"I don't care!"
"You can get a red color name if you repeat the action, and that will ban you from the game for a month."
"I said I don't care!"
Kevin pulled ZIro back from his color and uttered, "You should care."
"They killed half of the players and injured the rest of them! So why their names aren't red!"
"It happened during an ongoing battle, so they are safe." After a pause, he said, "There is always a way to abuse the systems."
Nero tightened his grip and asserted, "Then I will kill him on the 21st floor."
"We are retreating. Our entire team is out of MP, except Kiana. And we have scored enough already."
"I am not retreating." Ziro gritted his teeth and uttered, "Not until I kill him."
Kevin placed his hand on Ziro's shoulder and said, "Even if you advance to the floor 21st— alone, there is no way a level 15 player can kill the entire guild of 80 members."
Ziro clenched his sword in frustration.
"You are smart, Ziro. You should think rationally."
Ziro closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down. After a brief moment, he opened his eyes and turned to Kevin with a smile on his face: "You are right."
"..." Kevin stared at Ziro for a while and nodded. 'I am the godfather of multiple gangs and over 10000 members of this country.'
'There are other gangs who shit their pants after hearing my name. There are gang members who beg for my mercy. Everyone in the underground fears me.'
'Yet…' Kevin looked into Ziro's eyes and uttered inwardly, 'This kid's glare scared me.'
'I feel like he will devour me.'
He is a sleeping monster, "Kevin glanced at Alina and thought, 'And she is his comfort.'
'I hope he never wakes up, or…'
Ziro clenched his jaw and tried to look calm, but his rage was still scorching with anger.
'If I can't kill him in the game, then I will just kill him in the real world,' Ziro smirked inwardly.
Kevin's face flinched after seeing Ziro's face, and he shook his head.
"Are you alright, Ziro?" Kevin asked.
"Never been better," Ziro replied with a smile.
'He is awfully calm now. Or is he? I can't read what he is thinking.'
"Let's go now," Kevin pointed his gaze at the portal.
"Yeah." Ziro walked some stepped forward and looked back at Byldger with a smirk on his smug face: "Good luck."
Kevin's eyes widened as he stopped on his track. 'Don't tell me…'
Ziro rushed to Alina and hugged her.
Alina hugged him back and uttered, "I am fine, Ziro. Don't worry."
Kevin signaled Kiana and asked her to come to him. But Kiana shook her head and pointed her gaze at the portal.
Sera hugged Alina and Ziro and remarked, "You two have no shame hugging like this in public, huh?"
"You are hugging us too," Alina commented.
"This is just a friendly hug."
Ziro and the party retreated and exited the dungeon raid through the portal.
Kiana nudged Kevin and asked, "What's wrong? You look tense."
"Do you know who Ziro is?" Kevin asked in a solemn voice.
"He is Alina's boyfriend, right?"
"I am asking about Ziro. Has Alina ever told you anything about him?"
Kiana knitted her brows and asked with a confused look on her face: "Why are you suddenly interested in him?"
Kevin glanced at Ziro and uttered, "I am just curious about him."
Kiana squinted her eyes and hugged Kevin before saying, "I am your wife, and you are only allowed to be curious about me."
