From Player To Npc

Ameanum was still in the alley where he was when he disabled his SPECTATOR MODE.

He drew Sinhunter, which still seemed to be recovering a bit, but he could feel waves of excitement from it like it had read its mind and knew what was coming.

He checked a corner of the alley that he hid something as his NPC self, which was an outfit made with the help of Volig.

It was a cloak with a hood with a few enchantments to help him blend with the environment and move stealthily more uncomplicated.

It was also able to make a minor illusion making his face darker and some horns appearing, and other demonic features.

He also made some gloves to make his hands looking demon-like.

After making sure that everything worked fine, he focused his PERCEPTION on the nearest target.

He didn't have to look for much as he already had seen from this morning their hiding spots.

He went for the ones at the Mayor's office first.

There were three groups of two, each being a group of two.

They were at a fair distance from each other not to view one of the other groups, but each had a view of the Mayor's office from different angles.

This morning, he noticed that one of each group seemed to have either a Mana Pool or some item emitting mana, which probably was to have a similar effect to MANA SENSE most likely.

The other person probably had better PERCEPTION or similar detection skills or maybe a way of communicating.

He could kill them all without them noticing, but this wasn't the plan.

He had climbed over the roof of one of the nearby buildings and checked them from above.

He threw a stone but not on them but close to each group to draw their attention.

They turned towards him, seeing his figure jumping and landing near the Mayor's door building.

He had his Illusion active and his sword drawn.

He threw some needles he had borrowed from Anna, but his techniques weren't as precise as her but more than enough to hit them.

Of course, those didn't deal any special effect or massive damage as he wasn't proficient with them through the System, but his IMPROVISED THROW WEAPON seemed to help on his aim with it a bit.

The reason he used them was cause they had encountered those needles because of Anna's sabotage plans so that they could use this as a way of something big was after them.

After that, he activated his ACCELERATION skill and Breaking-Limit state and started the massacre.

He had left his armor behind, so he was even faster than usual, and he had killed seven of the eight people, with some of them barely having time to move.

The last one wasn't that he was faster than the rest, but Ameanum just had him kicked down to the ground while stepping on his chest and keeping him down there.

**Just stay still, child**[Ameanum]

He had Volig create a mask hot so much to hide his face and change his voice to make it more profound and demonic.

Those were simple enchantments, so even if he wasn't an ENCHANTER in his profession, he was able to make them.

He talked in another language he had studied that few had time to learn because of its difficulty; the Demon's language Demoniac.

He was confident that the player in front of him didn't understand him and added it to the whole act.

The person seemed to have gotten terrified, as expected.

He then hit him to make him unconscious and not to kill him. He then cut his neck with a tool he made with Volig. 

It was shaped like a jaw with sharp teeth and used to made it look like something had bitten the player's neck.

Then he moved to one group after the other, and this time he didn't let anyone alive.

It seemed that they didn't have many of their high-level members at night, so the resistance was almost none for Ameanum.

He didn't encounter any of the members he had met in the past, like Fire Whip, Shadow Whip, or even Cerberus.

He felt that his sword enjoyed the action but wasn't progressing much as the Players were too weak, but because of their quantity, there was little progress.

In total, he killed fifty players, and the first ones seemed not to be affected by not being able to respawn, but the more he killed, the greyer their particles became, showing that they had the heavier death penalty.

It seemed the effect was getting reset if some time passed, and the more kills he was getting, the heavier the penalty that would be dealt at the next one.

From what he gathered, the effect would be activated sooner the more progress he was making and most likely would reach a point that it being constantly active.

He had found again the first seven players who were able to respawn and killed them too, giving them the penalty.

He killed all the Guild Members that seemed to be currently active except the one at the first group, who at this point was awake and tried to find someone to report, but Ameanum dealt with everyone who was supposed to be online.

He found another alley and ended his SPECTATOR MODE, returning to controlling his NPC body.

He was this time at the shop, so Anna and Volig were next to him when he woke up.

"Everything went according to the plan?"[Anna]

"We will know in a few minutes."[Ameanum]

They waited, and after some time, someone broke into the shop.

A large bear, the same one Ameanum had seen in the past with Fire Whip and Shadow Whip when he first met them.

The bear had charged at the door and took it down. Behind it was Shadow Whip with Fire Whip next to him with their weapons at the ready, jumping in ready to cause chaos.

But the moment they jumped in, some Enchantment Circles started Lighting up under where the bear was standing as chains appeared out of nowhere and tied it up.

Anna teleported behind them using their shadow as a point of Teleportation and put some needles at the back of their head.

This made them lose their consciousness as the bear seemed unable to get free from the chains.

Volig and Karemon prepared that trap as they knew that there was a great chance of them attacking their shop after getting reports of an unknown entity attacking them.

Shingi turned towards Anna, who was in the middle of tying the two unconscious Blessed Ones.

"Time to prepare for the second part then."[Ameanum]

It wouldn't be long until more people getting informed about the situation. Still, the Guild would be weaker a bit now, so they would act carefully, giving them some time, especially after losing two of their generals.

Shingi was confident that Fire Whip was of high rank in the Guild cause he seemed to have the ability to order guild members around to keep and report on him, as he did back when he first went to the Dungeon.

Volig had moved on the forge continue working on something while Anna and Shingi stayed with the two Players moving them on the empty still storeroom of theirs.

They made sure they were tied tight enough, and Anna put some needles on the bear, bringing it into a comatose state.

They woke them up after Anna wore similar equipment that Ameanum was wearing and had a longsword to pass as close to him, or how he was reported to look.

They woke the two Players after they made sure everything was in place.

After they were awakened and saw Shingi, they wanted to charge at him, but their ties were too strong for them.

"*sigh* Some dogs never learn, it seems. Do we need to go through this every time?"[Shingi]

"LET US GO, YOU IGNORANT FOOL!!!"[Shadow Whip]

Shingi chuckled at this.

He noticed that Fire Whip once again kept being silent and was starring at the figure next to him.

Shadow Whip kept trying to break his ties, but his efforts didn't bring any results.

"Listen here. I am clearly not the one considered IGNORANT FOOL between you and me. I was minding my business and tried to work with you, but you tried to break the deal. After breaking a deal, one should pay the consequences like a man, but I guess that is too much for your coward leader and his dogs."[Shingi]

Shadow Whip seemed to got even angrier after hearing what he said for his leader.

But then the still figure next to Shingi acted by bringing its blade's tip under the jaw of Shadow Whip and barely touched his neck.

"My friend doesn't like people acting as you do, and I think you have heard of the consequences one is paying after being dealt by my friend." [Shingi]

Shadow Whip seemed to stop after understanding the situation. 

He heard the reports of all their members killed by this unknown figure of having the inability to respawn for some time.

Unfortunately, the System didn't let them know how long they couldn't respawn and just had to wait.

"What do you want from us then?"[Fire Whip]

"I don't want anything from you. But if I have to, I would ask you to stop being the dogs you are and being as what Blessed Ones are supposed to be."[Shingi]

Both Players seemed to be confused about what Shingi told them.

"It seems you really are ignorant. You don't even know with whom your Guild works, or I guess you don't care as long you get the benefits."[Shingi]

Fire Whip and Shadow Whip looked at each other as they seemed not sure what to say.

"*sigh* I guess you aren't to be fully blamed for your ignorance, but you have to ask yourself where your Guild's power came from. You are free to go, but if I even see one of you or your people acting against my people and me, it will be a war. And you won't like me when I am acting while being at war."[Shingi]

He then freed them as their tied were substantial cause an Enchantment powered them, and he could disable it.

Fire Whip stood, and Shadow Whip followed him without saying anything, which seemed unusual for him.

"What about my bear?"[Fire Whip]

"It is considered a hostage for now. But nothing will happen to it unless you guys do something against us."[Shingi]

"Not IT!!!SHE."[Fire Whip]

This seemed to be one of the few moments he saw Fire Whip acting on emotion. Even when he got his pouch of gems as a gift, he deserved it without giving anything back, but he didn't say anything or act.

"She will be fine then."[Shingi]

Fire Whip nodded, and he and Shadow Whip left the place.

After making sure they were alone, Anna removed her hood.

"That went different than we said. Why did you let them go? I thought we planed to use them as hostages, not just their bear."[Anna]

Shingi was in deep thought for a bit before turning at her.

"It is true what you say, but now we have started a new plan. One of the oldest tactics."[Shingi]

Anna thought of it a bit and seemed to understand what he was talking about and smiled.
