Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

“I did it, Puten is dead,” Hayden said in a neutral tone as he sat down on a couch.

Currently, all of them were gathered in a meeting room Eva had gotten constructed after realizing that she would be hosting many players.

The entire room was designed in a circular manner with a table placed at the center of it. The entire room was 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.

The table covered it from one end to the other while couches and cushioned chairs were present on either side of it.

The table was embedded with multi-projectors allowing someone to not only make a presentation but also connect their phone and show something.

Hayden used this feature to connect his phone watch and show the video of Puten confessing everything.

It played for five seconds before stopping as Hayden glanced at the expressions of everyone gathered in the room.

“So this makes you the ruler of the underworld in both the worlds?” Zack asked with a poker face as Hayden nodded.

Internally, he was wondering what Zack and the others were thinking of him and that made him anxious.

Surprisingly, Zack extended a hand forward while offering a small smile.

“Welcome to the team.” Upon hearing his words, Hayden somehow managed to smile too and shook his hand.

Eva on the other hand looked as though she had just managed to get her hands on a world-changing and her expression was definitely good due to what happened.

‘Now Puten is dead and we also manage to gain the control of nukes and the entirety of America. With this, we should be able to push away Oracroft’s huge amount of soldiers.

If all went correct, they would soon be leading the entire continent.

‘I have started referring to things with we and they…’ Eva suddenly realized that she had thought of the group collectively rather than just thinking of herself.

Though she didn’t trust Hayden and Lisa, she knew that they would grow on her over time. This meant that most of the members Zack wanted for his dream te were there.

“Lisa, did you manage to get any information out of Neji?” Zack asked while turning to stare at the blond girl.

He had asked Lisa to talk to Neji more and see if she could somehow manage to get information about his real-life self.

Neji only talked to Lisa in the guild and was out on his own. Unless and until he was given a direct order, he would stay away from Zack and anyone who sided with him.

“The only thing I managed to get is that he is from Japan and that’s all. He refused to tell me anything else.”

“That’s perfect.” A smile appeared on Zack’s face as he was able to confirm that Neji was indeed Ken.

‘Now all I gotta do is get him here and we’ll only have to worry about Jules.’ Now that Zack had managed to gather quite a large amount of his team, all he needed to see was all of them working together.

‘We should probably go to one of the dungeons in the western side of the kingdom. Most people will be busy with the real-life changes to not bother us.’

Zack however knew that he couldn’t back our at this moment. Due to the changes that happened, they would need to pull more common players towards them.

He could already see Eva thinking about the same thing while wondering whether they could rely on Hayden for that or not.

“Hayden, how many men do you think will obey you?” Eva asked curiously as she would plan her next move based on his reply.

“Around two million especially those who know how strong I am in Hikari. There shouldn’t be any problem getting soldiers,” Hayden paused. “But I will have many people trying to kill me and those under my control can’t be compared to Oracroft.”

As bitter as the truth was, it was still the truth.

“Does the level restriction apply in the real world too?” Emma suddenly asked remembering the three-level gap inside Hikari.

If that was true, then the strongest ones would easily come at the top.

“Emma, please hit Lisa with one of your weakest attacks since she is currently the only one outside our range able of defending herself without dying.” Zack suddenly said as Emma raised her eyebrows while looking at Lisa.

She nodded back with full confidence before moving to stand in front of Lisa. Though being attacked was not a good experience, Lisa decided that this was a good way to show that she would be loyal and useful.

“I will try to be gentle.” She said while winking before raising her fist and punching forward.

“Fist of North!” That was a skill her Hunter class had given her. It allowed her to use one freezing lunch every day which would allow her to freeze her opponents.

The only problem was that she needed to be in 7 feet radius around her opponent or the skill won’t activate.

But since Lisa was basically standing still in front of her, it was a child’s play for her to hit her squarely in the chest.

Lisa felt her health decrease by 50% at once and her ice suddenly emerged from the spot where Emma had punched.

The ice started expanding through her body before covering her from head to toe. She couldn’t move a single part of her body as she was frozen in the ice.

Emma whistled lightly as she saw the effects of her attack. Though all of them had expected this, they realized Zack had just wanted to check the special effects.

He raised his right hand and conjured up a blue fireball the size of a watermelon. He then threw the fireball at the sculpture of ice and melted it, thus freeing Lisa.

“Now Lisa, you can hit Emma back with a similar attack.”

The blond girl nodded as she started drawing symbols in the air. Lisa’s only had two spells and she wasn’t going to use them since they just inflicted small damage.

Instead, she was going ahead and created a very simple attack formation. She finished soon enough and a small yellow bolt about 4 inches tall short out from her finger.

The bolt hit Emma’s body yet nothing happened or at least that’s what everyone thought. Her health soon started falling by -10 every second and her body froze after ten seconds.

Every single bone and nerve in her body contracted, thus making her stand still in her place. The effects however vanished after five more seconds yet it would have been enough for someone to kill or at least severely injure her.

[0)ᴠᴇʟ “There are no restrictions here. The world will now become a dog-eat-dog world where the weak and strong both will band with others of their level.” Zack said in a grave voice as all eyes turned on him.

Despite Kevin being the highest level player, Zack was the one who everyone trusted and had the most faith in.

‘Yet I am not truly awesome or boasting like Kevin. I am not as cunning and adventurous as Emma nor as pure-hearted and goal-driven as Hayden. Heck, I not even decisive as Lisa.’

Zack sighed mentally as he realized that despite all that, he was still being looked on at.

Now, he was the new leader in the chaotic world.
