The Strongest Wizard

Go To Hell, You Pretentious Creature...!

25th December 1018

The Mayor of the Town Hall looked straight at me and had smiled at me, half expecting me to ask for a quest. The rest of the gamers were eyeing me with full curiosity. They were wondering what the hell I am doing with the rotten tomato in my hand.

The rotten tomato felt squishy in my hand as I looked at the Mayor of the Town Hall indifferently. There was some kind of staring contest as the gamers that were the first few in line gathered around close to watch. Somehow these gamers had a premonition about what to happen next, but since the gamers treated it as some kind of sideshow or a cutscene, they gave some space for the little drama to begin.

"Go to hell, you pretentious Mayor...! Show your real self, Goddammit...!" I hollered out while I threw the rotten tomato directly into the Mayor's face.

*S P L A T*

The squishy tomato was so rotten that the impact left some of the closeby gamers to be splattered by it.

Two Silverlight knights were standing closeby and were in charge of safeguarding the safety of the Mayor whenever he left the comfort of his office. The Silverlight knights simply looked at the state of the Mayor but did not render any assistance. The Silverlight knights did not even stop what I was doing too...!

The rest of the gamers were Oohs and Aahs as they witness the scene that was slowly unfolding in front of them. They knew that offending an NPC would get one arrested, and this cutscene could be made into a fine example for those around.

"Hahaha... That female NPC is going to get fucked...! Look at the both of them, we wonder what would happen next when those knights on guard would do...!" a few gamers were pointing out and was expecting some kind of rewards by watching this so-called cutscene.

"f**k you, stinking Mayor. Here's another tomato to your f*****g face. Get out of town, N O W...!" I hollered out, and this made the gamers filed up since they had never seen a female NPC assaulting a male NPC while spouting all kind of profanities, which made their blood boil.

*S P L A A A T*

Another squishy tomato landed on the Mayor's face, and this time, the Mayor took some notice as he wiped off the remnants of the rotting tomato off his face and his clothes.

*S P L A A A A T*

*S P L A A A T*

Two more of the rotten tomatoes landed on the Mayor's face, and this time, every gamer on site would be able to notice that the Mayor's face was as red as a beet and he had rolled up his sleeves.

It seemed that a showdown is imminent and every gamer saw that the Mayor had now approached my location.

*S P L A A A T*

*S P L A A A T*

The last two rotten tomatoes in the paper bag were thrown out. This is it then; the Mayor would take action and it would be the ultimatum that every gamer would witness...!

A long one-handed sword that was dangling at the sides of the Mayor was unsheathed but came next was unexpected. I had forgotten that my armour was made of cloth and I could not even bear the full force of an NPC...!

*B A A A A A M M M*

A heavy boot reached forward and hit the solar plexus that knocked the wind out of me...! "FUCK...! That hurts very much...!!! You cocksucker, motherfucker...!!!" I hollered out as I fell backwards heavily as the wind got knocked out of me. I could see my HP suddenly dipped so low but went up slightly due to the three tomatoes that I had gobbled up earlier.

Before the Mayor had connected my solar plexus with his boot, he had engaged a skill, and that was a "DASH". This skill enabled him to move forward for up to 10 feet forward as he straightened his leg to catch me in the chest...!

In the MMORPG - The Lord Of The Red Dragon, if a gamer or NPC engaged you first in armed combat, such in this case as the Mayor, when he had unsheathed his sword; he had activated a self-defence mechanism within the gaming world.

Which means a gamer would be protected by the system as long as he remained unarmed and had no form of retaliation whatsoever. In this case, the Mayor had activated the Silverlight knights to be on full alert.

*C L A A A N G*

"DIE, YOU PUNY INSECT...!!!" the Mayor shouted in his rage and launched a full offensive attack the moment I stood up. The flat part of the long one-handed sword slapped on my chest with such force that my HP plummeted once again. "H U U A A R R G G H H...!!!" Fresh blood spewed out from my mouth as I was hit by the blade of the long one-handed sword...!!!

*G R R R O O O W W W L L L*

*R A A A W W W R R R *

"It is about time, you son of a b***h. Come on and show your true self...! It is now or N E V E R...!!!" I screamed out, partly in pain but also anticipating the transformation of the Mayor of the Town Hall before me...!

When the Mayor of the Town Hall had activated the skill, the Silverlight knights went forward and restrained the Mayor from doing what he had intended to do with the long one-handed sword in his hands.

The Mayor was in a total mess, especially after all the rotten tomatoes that I had thrown at him. When he was restrained by the Silverlight knights, something happened to the Mayor, which excited the gamers that stood at the bylines to observe.

The clothes that the Mayor had worn stretched and tore as his body manifested itself. The Mayor's skin was replaced by a thick coat of fur, as his height suddenly rose a foot or two higher.

He was transforming into a werewolf, and that's the HIDDEN QUEST...!!!

Both the Silverlight Knights who had restrained him performed a 'DASH' skill and knocked the transformed Mayor down to the ground...!

They wrested the long one-handed sword from the Mayor as he slowly transformed into a bluish-grey coloured werewolf.

The Silverlight Knights were Level 99, and they both deployed "CHARGE' at the transformed Mayor dealing it with more than 5000 worth of damage. After deploying a few more charges, the transformed Mayor, by now had taken the full shape of a werewolf, were knocked senseless on the ground.

One of the Silverlight knights conjured up a magical set of restraints, as it bound around the werewolf's paws and hind legs as it lay on the ground helplessly.

"Thank you, adventurer. Here you go, the badge of the Mayor' emblem. You may proceed to the Magistrate's Office to exchange it for a title or peerage. Thank you for revealing to us the real Mayor's identity. It had been some months since the rumours were circulating that our city was in danger of being invaded. It was fortunate that you had exposed the true identity and thus, saved our city. Thank you once again, adventurer."

One of the Silverlight Knights handed me a palm-sized badge that the Mayor had on his shirt before it was torn off by the transformation.

I took the badge, thanked the Silverlight Knights for their fine work and flipped the badge in the air like it was a coin. I caught it midway and walked casually out of the Town Hall, amid the mix of stares from the rest of the gamers that were gathered there.
