The players of Toxic finally arrived at Mario's corpse, staring at the crater in shock. They didn't understand how the situation had changed so completely. Their last perception of the fight had been Mario's overwhelming advantage… and yet she had died only moments later. How could this happen? Then they saw the Federation soldiers and understood Lotus's trap. This infuriated them, but there was nothing they could do. Any attack they made would count as helping Mario in the duel, and would result in…-

Time seemed to slow down, and Lotus closed her eyes. She thought back to the time she had spent with Apophis, and how the fate of her guild would be decided in this crucial moment. Lotus pushed all fear of failure out of her head, any feeling that could weaken her. This fight, without a doubt, would be one of the hardest battles since she started playing. As the duel timer began counting down, both players prepared to fight. Lotus activated a special item she'd crafted from Federation technology, a…

PLANET ERA Lotus's group of Federation soldiers, along with forty members of the Eclipse guild—including Chocolate, Hulk, and White—approached the ruins of Tyo by stealth during the night. Once in position, Lotus pulled out a very sophisticated spy device cobbled together for the occasion. She released it into the camp and awaited its return with information. The situation turned out to be quite dangerous. Mario was inside, one of the seven strongest MMO players in the world. In addition, there was…

TERRA—SECRET SERVICE HQ Chancellor Souley had set up his new office in a back room of the huge Secret Service building. From this office, he was carefully observing the situation on Cronos I. Marshall Androf's surprise victory was a real blow against future peace negotiations with the Orc Empire, of course. The population would not accept territorial concessions if the conflict was won via ground warfare. But what bothered Chancellor Souley the most was the Eternals. They had been instrumental to the…

CRONOS I—WAR ROOM BUNKER Marshal Androf, who was staring at the huge control panel used for directing the troops, was amazed. All the Orcs had just… stopped fighting. He whispered, "How?" One officer said, "The information is confirmed. They're withdrawing from all lines of contact; there's no doubt about it! The Orc army is retreating to these ships landing nearby! What should we do?" Androf was skeptical. Even if the Great Warlord Regnier was dead, that still didn't explain why the Orc armies were…

CRONOS I—WAR ROOM BUNKER One officer shouted, "The Orcs have broken through our lines in the north! The Eternals are starting to flee! We can't hold out much longer!" Marshall Androf said, "Order the infantry to hold on, no matter what! If they take a single step backwards, I will trigger their implants without a second warning!" Another officer answered, "It's too late, Marshall! Our line is completely collapsing in the north! Over fifty million of our soldiers are routing!" Androf's face was ugly,…

But instead of attacking, Regnier planted his sword in the ground and crossed his arms, then stared Apophis straight in the eyes! Apophis understood the message. He deactivated his ~Susanoo~ and its black flames. Regnier said, "Your name is Apophis?" Apophis, surprised, nodded. "Yes. That's right." Regnier said, "You fight well for an Ascensionist of your rank. What planet are you from?" Was this a trap? What was this sort of question doing in the middle of a fight? But Apophis answered, "I was born…

The group ran at high speed across the huge platform! After about ten minutes, Apophis felt a colossal energy rise in front of him. They were getting close! Finally, Apophis saw the Great Warlord Regnier and inspected him immediately. Regnier levitated in the air, legs crossed, a dark red energy coalescing and sinking into his skin. The group moved into fighting positions. Apophis ordered the two Warriors, as well as a female Esper named StarLight and a male Sniper named FantasyDoctor, to prepare…

Apophis and his team finally arrived at the portal's exit. The other side of the interdimensional portal was very particular! The whole sky was black, streaked here and there by magnificent red and purple comets which illuminated the stone ground below. The atmosphere was peculiar, both terrifying and fascinating. Colonel Zareil seemed relieved when Apophis and his team finally joined him. Due to the strange effects of the portal on time and space, he'd waited almost five minutes after arriving on the…

CRONOS I—EQUATOR The ship carrying Apophis's team finally came to a halt above the huge crack in the planet's equator. The place was extremely hot, over 50 degrees Celsius in the shade. Because of this, there was little life in the zone. It was a scorching desert that separated the planet's northern and southern hemispheres. Even the Geoils couldn't reliably survive in this area. If Apophis and Zareil hadn't been Ascensionists, they would long ago had to give up the mission! The area was so hostile…
