Legends of All Time
Chapter 34 - Legends of All Time

Two weeks later.

Tonight, I am with all the villagers, not least all the guild members, such as Bang Kris, Hansel, to Sister Shelly, as well as the monsters, as well as the elves, we all gathered in the middle of the village to count down the initial power supply in our village, considering that the power plant powered by Javier's hydrogen fusion reactor has been completed.

"Is everything ready?" shouted Javier who was holding some kind of switch.

"Yahoooo!" Excited all of us with a compact feeling of enthusiasm.

"Ok, count them together! Three ..."

We said, "Two ... one!"

On the count to one, Javier struck the switch in his hand, and for the first time, our village that had previously only been lit by torchlight, was, now it finally shines brightly illuminated by the lights installed throughout the village.

"Yeahah!" We rejoice at it.

In celebration of the first time our village was lit by bright lights, that night we had a festive feast.

We ate together, sang together, and danced together in joy.

Humans, monsters, elves, all dissolved in happiness regardless of differences.

...

While everyone was eating, drinking, singing, and dancing in joy under the bright lights that now illuminate our village, drian and I just sat around pretty far from the center of the party and enjoyed the party from a distance.

"Finally, our village now has its own electricity," I murmured as I looked at the look of happiness on everyone's faces that night.

"Yes, let alone Javier saying that our electricity supply is infinite" said Drian who sat beside me holding a glass of warm tea.

"Oh yes, Yan, what about the preparations for Guild War?" ask me while sipping a glass of warm chocolate that I hold.

"Pak Warto, Viona, and Ms. Shelly have taken care of everything, but they say there is a little problem" Drian replied.

"The problem ...?"

"Since our guild has no reputation yet, they have trouble finding a sponsor who will fund our guild in Guild War later. The implication is that they lack the money to prepare the various things that we need, for example, the suit that we will use in the match later" Drian replied.

"Yes, how else. As long as we can still compete in the War Guild, I don't think it's a big deal" I replied.

While Drian and I were enjoying the party that night from a distance, Javier suddenly came to us.

"Everyone's been partying, but why are you guys even down here?" reprimand Javier who came while holding a glass of wine.

"Javi, there's you, there's something I want to talk to you about" I said.

Javier raised both eyebrows while sipping a glass of wine, like allowing me to speak.

"Are you able to modify the combat suits that we will use in the Guild War game later on? We spend too much on this and that. We also had a hard time finding sponsors because you know for yourself, right? Our guild has no reputation at all. So, we don't have enough funds to order a high-end suit," I asked.

Javier suddenly glared at me.

"Hoi, Guild War is staying another week and you're asking me to modify your suit ...? I could've done it, but do you think I don't need a break, haaa ...! I'm too tired to build this reactor! So, at least give me enough rest!" gerutu Javier's.

"Oh, come on .. please .. three suits only. We really need it." I tried to persuade with my deathly appeal.

Javier kept glaring at me.

"Please .. three sets of suits only."

Javier just kept his eyes on me, then said, "Three sets isn't it ...?"

"If you can ... the rest while walking," I reply.

Javier glared at me again, but this time with irritated eyes mixed with fury, while I only responded with an innocent smile.

...

One week later.

Tomorrow, we will head to Lisbon City for our first game of the Guild War tournament this year.

However, before that, tonight, I, Drian, Angel, Hansel, Bang Kris, Bang Deri, Bang Dodi, Bang Sulaiman, Bang Gori, Bang Toyib, Pak Warto, Viona, as well as Ms. Shelly, we all gathered at my house to discuss the preparation of the match.

Guild War had three stages, starting from the first stage; the first stage group stage, the, where hundreds of guilds scattered throughout the country will be randomized and placed in groups of six guilds.

Continued with the second stage; the second stage group stage, in which only the champion and runner-up of the first stage group stage will qualify for this stage.

The champions and runners up from the first stage will be re-shuffled, before finally being placed in groups of four guilds.

The last one is the knockout round.

At this stage, the thirty-two guilds who were the group winners of each of the second stage preliminary groups would face each other and get rid of each other. Until the end, only leaving one guild that survived and established themselves as champions.

"In the first stage group stage, we were joined in group 12 alongside the Scorpion Guild, Ceres Guild, Andes Guild, Junior Borner Guild, and Loyer Guild. Among the five, the Andes Guild is the guild we should anticipate the most, considering the Andes Guild was a semifinalist last year. Plus, they are now perched in the position of Top 4 best guilds in the entire country," explained Ms Shelly.

"Then what about our first opponent?" ask Drian.

"Our first opponent is the Scorpion Guild. They are not big guilds. Their track record is not very good either. Their best achievement only managed to qualify from the group stage of the first stage and the second stage, but was immediately eliminated in the knockout round of the top thirty-two, that was already ten years ago, even then, when their guild was just standing and filled with many great fighters. Supposedly, we can win easily against them" Shelly explained.

Not long ago, Javier came with blackened eye bags due to lack of sleep.

"This ... I've modified it as per your request!" javier said while throwing three sets of suits at the table.

"Thank you, Javi! You're really very helpful" I said, appreciating Javier's hard work.

"whatever! Don't bother me anymore. I'm going to bed. It's been three days that I haven't slept at all" Javier said, leaving us grumbling. He seemed to be very irritated because I asked him to continue working non-stop.

"Here, please drink it" said Bu Lidya, Zaltan's mother, putting one glass at a time on the tray to the table.

"Clearned (Please)." Zaltan imitated his mother.

"Well ..you are so cute, Zaltan," said Sister Shelly, pinching both of Zaltan's cheeks.

Meanwhile, Zaltan only resigned while making a strange sound when Mbah Shelly pinched and toyed with both cheeks.

Miss Lidya just smiled looking at that.

"Then we go first" said Bu Lidya.

"Thank you very much, Miss Lidya. You shouldn't have to bother," I said.

"It doesn't matter at all," Bu Lidya replied with a smile. Her smile was lo ... despite her age of thousands of years, but her face was still very charming. Adult elves are different.

"Quick release him, Shelly," said Bang Kris while pulling Shelly's body, asking Sister Shelly to remove her pinch from Zaltan's cheek.

By force, Mbah Shelly also took off his pinches.

"Come, honey," Bu Lidya said to his son, Zaltan.

"Yes," Zaltan replied with his cute voice. Since meeting with his parents, Zaltan has now become much more cheerful than before.

After that, Sister Shelly took the suit that Javier threw at the table and began to examine the work made by Javier.

"Woaaah .. This is absolutely incredible. I didn't expect that a standard suit could turn out to be this great" muttered Shelly amazed.

"What's so special about that suit, ma'am?" ask Drian.

"I don't really understand either, but it looks like this suit is planted with stabilizer and damage reducer features" replied Ms. Shelly.

"Is that great?" I ask who still doesn't understand.

"of course. Stabilizer feature, it is a useful feature to maintain and stabilize the physical condition of the user. You know that, right? When a person engages in a high-tempo fight, his body temperature will increase, his heart will beat faster, and his breathing will feel heavier, making him so much more tired faster. With this feature, it can be minimized" explained Ms Shelly.

"Woaaaah .. cool!" I'm amazed by that.

"Then what about the damage damper feature?" ask Drian.

"As the name implies, the feature is useful to reduce the damage received by the user, so that the durability and pain received by the user is reduced drastically," explained Ms. Shelly.

Javier who had already entered his room, he suddenly stuck his head out while saying, "I also added the features of energy recovery and burst energy." After saying that, Javier went back inside his room.

Shelly's sister, Viona, Hansel, and everyone else, except me, Drian, and Angel, all of them looked very surprised after hearing what Javier had just said.

Meanwhile, me, Drian, and Angel only look at each other because they do not understand about the features that Javier means.

"Is something wrong ...?" my many.

"Energy recovery and burst energy features, those are two exclusive features that are usually only owned by the top global guilds" replied Shelly.

Viona then added, "The Global Top Guilds usually have a lot of resources, ranging from money to humans, so that it allows them to research and develop their technology. Burst energy and energy recovery are some of the most advanced technologies they've instilled in their combat suits."

Me, Drian, and Angel are getting confused because we still do not understand the features.

Viona then explained, "The energy recovery feature is useful to help the user's energy circulation so that it can regenerate its energy faster, while the burst energy feature is useful to help the user burn energy in order to use his ability more quickly and efficiently."

"Oh, I get it now" I said.

"I didn't expect that we would have a suit with this crazy feature" Hansel murmured.

"really. The Top Guilds in our country have not even been able to develop and apply this kind of feature in their settings" Bang Deri added.

"How about the line up?" ask Bang Kris.

"On that matter, it was me, Drian, and Angel who were going to go down in the match. The rest of you sit in the spare seat. Let us handle everything" I replied.

"Are you sure? The group stage of the first stage and the second stage may still be handled, but what about the knockout stage? Guilds that managed to qualify for the knockout round were the best guilds of the best. They are not only strong, but also have an incredible partnership. Are you sure you can compete with top superstars like them?" ask Bang Deri.

"We don't have enough experience about the game, but if it's about strength, we're sure we won't lose" I said.

Guild War matches had a 3 vs 3 format with a total of five sets.

In each set, three fighters who would represent their respective teams would fight inside the two hundred square meter arena.

Teams that successfully defeat or eliminate the three opposing fighters from the two hundred square meter arena in each set will get one point.

The team that manages to collect the three points first will be declared the winner of the match.

"Then, what about the village? Doesn't it matter if we all leave the village just like that? I mean, this village now has a power plant powered by a fusion reactor. It is the most advanced technology of the century. If anyone finds out about it, isn't it very dangerous?" ask Hansel.

"I've asked Fenrir to guard the village while we're gone. So, there's nothing to worry about. After all, who can defeat the wolf, "I reply.

"Vin, the cave is still curious about how you can defeat Fenrir. Lu already told you that you managed to defeat him, but you did not explain in detail about how you can defeat him," said Drian.

I was silent for a moment while recalling the moment in the last seconds, where me and Fenrir would exchange attacks.

"Actually, the cave doesn't know either. In the last seconds, when we were about to exchange attacks, Fenrir suddenly shifted the direction of his attack. Thanks to that, the cave can win. If only he had not shifted the direction of his attack, the cave might have been ..." I did not continue my words.

"Don't you ask why he suddenly shifted the direction of his attack?" ask Drian.

"Udah, but he didn't answer," I replied.
