Meanwhile, back in the frozen caverns, the entire Frozen Throne guild was busily jumping in and out of the black pool. While they were not getting frozen to near death, they calmly meditated and focused on recovery.
At first, they had been a little more unruly, but Sylvara had let slip that the patriarch might actually log into the game, which made everyone quiet down and focus on their progress.
"This is how it should be." Sylvara nodded in satisfaction. She was just about to close her eyes and get into her personal training when suddenly Nevin slumped next to her, wet and cold. "Did you check the world chat?"
"Why? What happened? Did the governments go all in already?" Sylvara’s face instantly turned serious.
Nevin shook his head. "No, it’s Blood God."
Sylvara let out an exasperated sigh. "What the hell did he do now?"
"Why do you hate him so much?" Nevin clicked his tongue. "He didn’t do anything to us. He is killing it in PVP. Take a look."
Sylvara rolled her eyes but opened her status screen anyway, flipping to the world chat feed. Her eyes scanned the lines of text, her fingers pausing as she read the flood of messages about the Blood God.
"Blood God just one-shotted Valtherin!"
"That bastard one-shotted me too! Don’t challenge him! He is acting like a little bitch and not accepting forfeits. I lost my 1 gold coin. If I see that bastard anywhere, I am going to kill him on the spot!"
"Dude, are you high? He one-shotted your ass. How are you going to kill him? Don’t be a sore loser!"
"Jackass, are you sucking his balls? What Blood God? He has a fucking legendary item so he is strong. Without the item, even my weak ass could slaughter him ten times straight!"
"Blood God just claimed 10 consecutive kills!"
"Fuck! He just claimed 15 kills!"
Sylvara’s eyes narrowed as she scrolled through the messages, her thumb pausing on each rant, each bit of chaos that Blood God had left behind.
"Fifteen consecutive kills," she muttered. "That’s... impressive. I’ll give him that."
Nevin smirked, leaning over her shoulder. "Told you. The guy’s a monster."
Sylvara shot him a sideways glance. "Ya, he is something alright."
Nevin grinned. "Think he’s cheating?"
Sylvara’s lips twitched, almost a smile but not quite. "No. That’s pure skill," she admitted, although begrudgingly.
