Orbis Online
134. The Love II Night Festival
"Mia?"
"Ikshan?"
Ikshan and the reddish-brown woman's gaze collided, both of them throwing shocked and incredulous gazes at each other. The woman named Mia recognizes Ikshan because Reus' partner unmasked her.
Reus who was beside Ikshan himself just kept his mouth shut tightly did not want to interfere about the internal matter between the two. Even if Ikshan is a friend of his party, his conscience still says he must not interfere.
He knew the internal problems of both could only be solved by the related ones. If only Reus intervened the problem would be more complicated, especially if giving his personal views at times like this.
"What are you doing here, Mia? Aren't you in Alvast?"
Ikshan's face seemed to be in disbelief at what he saw. According to a message he received a few days ago while still training under Randolf's supervision, his lover should be in the Galvore Kingdom capital, Alvast, to play with his playmates.
However, who would have thought that he would be able to meet Mia in this place?
Hearing Ikshan's question, Mia simply turned her face away not intending to answer him, making Ikshan's heart ache even though it wasn't bleeding.
"Darling, do you know this guy?"
"She.. my lover."
"Oh, so he is, huh?"
Ikshan's eyes widened to hear the statement, while Reus reacted no differently even though he was not as big as Ikshan. Ikshan's gaze then shifted to the handsome blonde man who was holding Mia's hand without a guilty face.
Ikshan's hand was ready to reach the kusarigama behind his cloak intending to attack the blond man for being carried away by emotions, but his actions were successfully held back by Reus.
"Calm down, if you make a fuss in this place the local security forces can take you to jail. You understand what it means to be imprisoned in this world?"
Ikshan had rebelled while in detention, but was warned Reus his revolting movement stopped. Despite being overwhelmed with emotion and indignation, Ikshan still had his senses.
In the world of Orbis Online prison is not much different from the real world, both thrown into a prison cell and treated like a criminal. The system is more or less the same, but the most feared of the Orbis Online prison system is that players cannot log out while languishing behind a holding cell.
In addition to not being able to log out, players who are imprisoned for a month will also get a penalty in the form of losing classes and levels as much as one level every week, or depending on the law in the country. If the player chooses suicide, he will be raised in the same cell without being able to get out.
After Reus' memorial, Ikshan drew a series of breaths to calm himself down.
"Mia, did you really do it?"
Ikshan is indeed controlled by anger, but he can control the anger so that it does not get out of control.
Mia turned her face again not intending to answer Ikshan's question, but the blond man who was with Mia took a step forward approaching Ikshan while raising his chin haughtily, looking down at Ikshan.
"I don't know how much you love Mia, but Mia prefers me over you. Give up and don't show your face in front of us again."
The words ignite Ikshan's emotions even more, but every Ikshan wants to act on his anger alone Reus always holds him back. Although Reus' own emotions were ignited by this man's words, he still could not let this friend attack someone in the crowd like this.
Seeing Ikshan seeming to struggle with his burning emotions, the blond man smiled sinisterly and watched Ikshan from the bottom up.
"Well, rather than being with you who looks more like a beggar, Mia would obviously choose me who is this Paladin."
The man puffed out his chest proudly while saying that, revealing clearly the symbol that was on the chest of his armor. The symbol is no stranger to Reus, the symbol of Gaia's Tree, the Legion where his sister and her friends live.
'He's a member of Gaia's Tree? From the higher-ups to the members are already rotten, yes.'
Reus's gaze cooled knowing this man in front of him was from Gaia's Tree. He had not liked Gaia's Tree in the first place and intended to clear the Legion in the future because he had been looking for trouble with his sister, but it seemed like the time to do so came sooner than he expected.
Reus sighed for a moment after calming Ikshan down, then stepped closer to the blond-haired man.
"You're from that Gaia's Tree?"
"Oh, you know that? I thought you were just ordinary poor players, but you were quite knowledgeable, huh? Right, I'm from Gaia's Tree you mean."
Reus did not take off his mask like Ikshan, but the man seemed to be able to guess from Reus' stature.
As the blond-haired man boasted and his Legion, Reus narrowed his eyes checking the man's level.

Charion
Race : Human

'Level 124 is arrogant? I was really surprised by this Gaia's Tree.'
The region snorted softly at the level of Charion below, whereas Gaia's Tree had been following the war between the Legions all this time. Even though Charion was a Paladin, it was not a rare class and Reus' status and ability were far superior to fight him.

Reus has had many skills that can be varied into various attacks and techniques, then in level he is also much higher than Charion. If they fight then it is clear Reus will come out victorious.
Reus was eager to flatten Gaia's Tree as soon as possible, but his strength had not made it possible to do so. But, if killing one arrogant person like this doesn't matter, does it?
"I didn't know Gaia's Tree said that loud when it wasn't your problem."
"What did you say?"
Charion's forehead shriveled violently at Reus' words, his eyes narrowed unhappily.
"As I said, it's both of them. You as a third person have no right to interfere in their matters."
Reus put on a slight smile slightly raised his chin, looking coldly at Charion who seemed unhappy with his words. Even so, Reus did not care and said what he wanted to say.
While Reus seems to be provoking Charion, Ikshan can only be silent about not wanting to interfere in the affairs of the two and noticing the restless Mia.
As Reus said, Ikshan and Mia are lovers who are on edge because one of them betrayed. Neither Reus nor Charion have the right to interfere in the matter of both except to appease them.
Feeling disbelief and emotion, Charion pointed at Reus' face and looked up in anger. He then pulled the sword at his waist, smoothing it at Reus making the people around surprised and immediately moved away from the location.
"You shut up, you dilapidated player. You want to feel death?"
Reus' ears warmed up a little thanks to Charion's words, but he was delighted that his provocation had succeeded. Reus pulled his sword from his back with a small smile.
"Maybe, even if you can kill me."
Finished saying that Reus then formed his fighting horses, challenging Charion who was ignited fighting emotions. Of course Charion who came from the haughty Gaia's Tree accepted the challenge without further ado, especially in front of Mia.
Reus realized that even though fighting in the city of local security forces could arrest them, but the story is different if the dueling fight is received by both sides. Ikshan had previously wanted to attack blindly, so Reus could have guessed that the security forces would consider it an unwanted fight and eventually send Ikshan to prison.
Charion clucked softly before taking the shield on his back forming his own horses.
"I'll teach you manners, you dilapidated player."
Reus only smiled lightly in response. He would clearly teach this proud blond man a valuable lesson, while announcing his hostility towards Gaia's Tree, the Legion that caused Mirage and the others to decline drastically.
