Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 74 - : THE LONE WOLF

Waking up the next morning after what seemed to be a strong contestant for the worst night of his life—well, both lives combined—Greg cleaned up and decided to join the others. Of course, his name was making headlines on several broadcasting channels as usual.

The killing of Jessica's parents and other prominent deaths, including the president of Mer—of course, those weren't done by him, but the public didn't care for proof. The death of every prominent man was linked to him. Well, they weren't far from the truth, though. He would have killed them still, but he didn't—at least not in the brutal way that they died. The news painted him as the absolute evil, and he, of course, also felt that he was the absolute evil listening to the broadcast, forcing him to have little hope in the public thinking otherwise. Not like he cared, though. He knew deep down he wasn't a hero. He never wanted to be one either. But the past day made him reflect a bit on his actions and the selfishness in them. He cared less about how the masses suffered from his actions of killing prominent men or how much disarray he threw the world into with his actions. He wasn't a saint, but that didn't mean he was a villain who would make others suffer.

"Yo man, she's just one girl. You will find the right one later in—urgh," Aaron couldn't finish his statement, receiving a blow in his abdomen from Kate, everyone staring daggers at him.

"It's fine, I'm over it. Can't be beat up for so long. We have so much to do—stop Kyle and the demonification process, stop the demon invasion, grow stronger for unforeseen circumstances, and all of that. We can't stay down for long. I have caused the masses pain through my actions of revenge. The truth? I'd still do it a second time or even a third time if given another chance. So I'm not guilty of my actions. I'll remain selfish," Greg said to everyone.

Everyone had mixed feelings when listening to Greg. They didn't know why, but they felt this instinctive feeling that Greg was pulling away from them and keeping to himself. But none of them had the confidence to confront him, fearing that it might worsen it.

Logging into Apocalypse, Greg was greeted by several system notifications.

[Player Red Witch has left your guild]

[Player Lotus has left your guild]

[Player Elizabeth has left your guild]

[Player Scarecrow has left your guild]

.....

Nemesis read the notifications—so many guild members leaving the guild, Jessica included. It momentarily caused this sadness for a few seconds before he recovered from it.

[System warning! Too many players have left the guild, and the guild might be disbanded if not rectified soon]

[System warning! The number of guild members has gone below the minimum required to sustain the guild. Rectify as soon as possible!!]

[System warning!! You have lost too many members of your guild and cannot continue running the guild. Your guild has been disbanded]

Greg stared at the system announcement, a bitter smile on his face. All his hard work vanishing into thin air as a consequence of his actions.

"It's probably better this way—no one to hold me back. It's better being a loner. I won't have to babysit anyone and can be more flexible with my decisions," Greg comforted himself.

Walking out of the guild building after getting all his stuff—after all, it was no longer needed since he didn't have a guild. Maintaining the building would increase exponentially as the system would not support it as it did for others with guilds. Of course, he was financially stable enough to keep the building, but it wasn't really worth it. It might just bring bad memories. Greg decided to hit a dungeon and continue grinding, preparing himself for the demon invasion.

"So, Lilith, when do you think this demon invasion will begin in your world?" Kyle asked Lilith, who was resting her head on his thigh. Due to her persistence, which was too much, Kyle had no choice but to give in.

"Soon, I believe. They will probably send the weaker ones first and then one or two noble demons to face the central continent. They will probably win, relax, and drop their guard. Then we send shape-shifter demons to blend in, get information for us, strategize, win some people with potential to our side, and then conquer the continent, using the conquered continent as a springboard to attack the other continents."

"Wait, there are other continents?" Kyle asked, surprised. Well, it was not his fault. The majority of players never knew about it—not even the indigenes knew about the other continents. They only had an inkling of life beyond the deep, but no one had successfully embarked on the journey and returned to tell the tale. Greg? Well, he knew a lot of stuff like Drakonix Cave and the other continents from his past lives.

"Yeah, there are other continents, but you wouldn't know of it. Records of it were all destroyed after the Racial War," Lilith enlightened Kyle, enjoying the comfort of his thigh.

"Wouldn't it be better to just make an all-out attack on the human world? I mean, strategies are alright, but in the face of absolute strength, they're useless."

"Yeah, but we can't, or those bastard celestials will get involved and turn everything into a messy war. Until we are confident in fighting against those bastards and not losing, we have to play according to the rules. And that rule involves not sending any demon stronger than a Viscount to invade the world—the realm barrier makes sure of that. If anyone above a Viscount demon passes through the realm barrier, it will alert the celestials of our actions, and that's going to be nasty."

"So, you're saying if a high-rank demon is able to pass through the barrier without triggering the realm barrier, then he can wreak havoc as much as he wants?"

"Technically, yes—until the celestials find out, though. But bypassing the realm barrier is not an easy task, as it was made by the Celestial King, and only the Demon God can break it. Of course, that would be sending a direct message to the Celestial King. Likewise, the Demon God set a realm barrier in the celestial realm to prevent the celestials from sending higher-rank celestials to the world—a perfectly balanced situation, if I must say."
