NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68: A Sneaky Streamer And Clash Of Armies
-----
The city of Elderbridge was bustling with people moving everywhere. Most citizens were told to evacuate to the underground areas that Vlad had dug up for them to hide from invasions, but the Players, who had no idea of these things, were left wondering what was even happening, looking around in confusion. The citizens would mostly ignore them even when they asked them questions.
And in between the chaos that was happening, a beautiful and cute-looking demon girl was looking at a floating eye-shaped artifact that was filming her, part of the system’s own streaming system. She looked at the eye with a surprised expression in her face, talking to it.
“Hellooooo~ LadyQueenie, here guys with another livestream of my daily life in the gameeee~!”
As she talked, thousands of people instantly joined her livestream, sending messages greeting her and even donations the very second they saw her face.
Her long cascading pink-colored hair was divided into two pigtails, her pale white skin shone brightly beneath the crimson moonlight, and her sharp crimson- and purple-colored eyes were attractive to the eyes.
Her slender body and her revealing black latex clothes were very sexy and attractive to almost any guy that joined her stream, bringing a bunch of comments praising her beauty. With wide hips, a very large chest, and an enchanting baby girl face, she was without a doubt one of the most beautiful Players in the game.
And also one of the most popular female streamers as well! With a short black skirt and toeless black stockings while wearing black heels, while making sure to paint her toenails pink, there wasn’t a single part of her body that didn’t look attractive.
Over her head, there was even a small golden crown; giving herself the Player name LadyQueenie meant she would have to have a crown too.

“Hehehe! I’m glad you guys are happy to see me~!” Queenie smiled. “And about what’s happening right now? No idea! I just got here with a Teleportation Scroll! I originally came here to meet Vlad and Alitheus; you know them, right? The protagonists of the most popular videos lately. All the insane stuff they’ve done happened in this shabby city! So I came back here after having left like… a week ago, and look! It already looks like it’s going down around here!!!”
Queenie quickly flew into the skies using her large demonic wings, which were much bigger than those of Incubus and Succubus, as her actual Race was Lilim, an Evolution of Succubus that evolved their demonic powers further away from their Lust Abilities and more into Magic and Physical Abilities.
A Rare Evolution, so Rare LadyQueenie was the only one with it so far; it required a special blessing from the Evil God of Lust and also special Skills nobody else had obtained before.
As she reached the skies, she suddenly noticed a huge army of people commanded by the Vampire Duchess over the walls.
There was also a huge purple and silver-scaled dragon to the right; she gasped.
“Wow! Look at this, guys! A big war! I can’t believe it!” she gasped. “And what is that dragon over there?! Wait, is that Vlad and Alitheus?! Yes, they are!”
She kept increasing the camera’s vision to quickly show their faces; the commenters instantly went insane about them being there.
And also about Teressa’s presence, the powerful Vampire Duchess of Elderbridge which already had a lot of fans online.
“Oh my gosh! Teressa’s even there, guys! Have you heard that she’s Vlad’s mom?! I can’t believe there’s a Player that became a Vampire Prince?! Isn’t that like, super romantic and stuff?! Oh my goooosh! Do I approach them guys?! DO I?”
As LadyQueenie called her viewers, a flood of messages and donations popped up in front of her.
[AlphaMaleGaming]: [Do it! DO IT!!!]

[IHaveAnOpinion1998]: [Wait Queenie! What if they’re too dangerous??? be careful girl!!!]

[Starlight12]: [I know us gals are rare in your chat Queenie, but what do you think of Vlad or Alitheus? I think Alitheus is cute, but Vlad’s really handsome! Isn’t he like the vampire prince we all have dreamed about once in our teens?]
[Starlight12] has donated $50]
“Hahaha! You’re right, Starlight! Hi! Thank you for joining!” LadyQueenie opened her eyes widely as she noticed the only female streamer of Fantasy Story Online at least from America that was more popular than her within the week since the game’s launch, Starlight12.
Unlike her, who was clearly an e-girl chasing clout and all of that, Starlight12 was a much more dedicated gamer that sought to find hidden quests, investigate the game’s story, and also explore new areas.
“Alright guys, most people are saying they want me to go join them…” said LadyQueenie. “I guess I could go see if I can get an interview! But no promises, ok? I don’t really want to disturb them in… whatever they’re doing? Why are they planting seeds out of nowhere? Huh?”
And then… in front of Queenie and all other Players within Elderbridge, an event window appeared.
Ding!
[The City of Elderbridge has successfully triggered the [World-Wide Event]: {Awakening of the Ancient King of Neburias}!]
[The Ancient King of the Fallen Kingdom of Neburias has awakened from his slumber, his Ancient Kingdom of Underground Dwelling Demons seek to reclaim the surface as their own. After having been defeated by the Vampire Emperor three hundred thousand years ago and sealed away, he wants nothing but the Empire of Iron Blood to fall against his Black Armored Army!]
[He will relentlessly send a new wave of monsters every day until he can completely destroy the Empire of Iron Blood! However, he will bid his time and make sure every city is destroyed in order. He will target Elderbridge, the closest city to his Tomb.]
[Survive the Daily Raid of Hundreds of Enemies to earn Special Event Points which you can later exchange for special Event-Tied Merchants. The Monsters available for this World-Wide event are limited, and once enough Raids are completed, new Events may happen. So make sure to not miss this opportunity!]
[This World-Wide Event is limited to the area within Elderbridge until the city is completely destroyed. Either defend or run; it’s your choice.]
[Tip: The Neburians are fierce monsters that come divided into three categories: humanoids, beasts, and golems. Among every living being in this Realm, their naturally grown biological metallic armor makes them tremendously heavy and defensive foes. However, they’re slow and unable to cast magic and are partially weak against certain elements. Use magic and defense-piercing equipment to deal extra damage against them!]
Because Queenie was livestreaming everything, the quest message was also shown in the video she was streaming, shocking countless other players around Obscuritas and even other Realms such as Fantasia or Ennead.
“Wait, what?! Holy sh*t guys!” LadyQueenie gasped. “It’s literally a big event and all! W-We have to join now! Everyone that can join, come over quickly!!! Look, the monsters are appearing already!”
She pointed into the distance as she saw hundreds of armored monsters approaching and then saw giant plant monsters defending Elderbridge fighting against them.
“Wait, what?! They got monster plants to fight for them?!” As she gasped, Queenie glanced at the messages again.
There were hundreds of people saying they were coming to help; last time a lot of the players that could have fought and benefited from these events ended up missing them entirely.
But now it was much different; nobody was going to miss these opportunities!
[LadyQueenieKnight#18]: [Oh man, I’m going definitely I’m going!!!]
[MonsterHunterJack1111]: [Last time we missed so many cool events, not anymore. I’m definitely going too! I want a piece of the pie.]
[LadyQueenieKnight#29]: [LadyQueenie please wait for your knights!]
[LadyQueenieKnight#5]: [Let’s fight together, my queen!!!]
[LadyQueenieKnight#8]: [We’ll arrive shortly!]
[DesertWorm]: [Fucking hell, why did I even choose Ennead as my Realm? I haven’t even gotten a Soul Artifact yet! This Realm sucks!!!]
[RandomFairyFemboy69]: [Fantasia is not bad at all, but it sure is peaceful around here instead… Damn, maybe I should have chosen Obscuritas.]
[Starlight12]: [Queenie! Wait for me! I’ll go there as well! I don’t want to miss another important event! We might as well set some sort of headquarters in that city; there’s always something happening in there, I swear!]
“Yeah right?! Okay, then guys, gals, I’ll wait for you here! Hurry! I don’t know if the Elderbridge family will be able to hold on against the invaders! Remember, whoever kills one of those monsters gets points for an exclusive event shop! If you want to get strong quickly, this is your chance! As for me? I’m going to join right away!”
Completely unaware of this, Vlad and Alitheus, alongside Teressa, Camilla, and the rest of the soldiers, faced the Raid’s first boss.
“Emperor of Blood! You will know the wrath and resentment of the Neburians!”
RUMBLE!
A giant of ten meters emerged amidst the dark forest near Elderbridge, humanoid in appearance, but burly and with six enormous arms, holding a different weapon in each hand.
Ding!
[The {Raid Boss: 1/3}: [Zergeous, The Giant Six-Armed Black Knight (Tier 5)] has stepped into battle!]
[His presence alone raises the strength and morale of the Neburians, increasing their Stats by 30%!]
“I will destroy these walls! And your city shall fall tonight!”
BAAAM!
His footsteps made the entire world around him tremble constantly; his enormous aura made all the other Neburians stronger, to make it even worse.
“You, measly vampires, get off my way!”
The enormous Zergeous charged forward, running towards the walls! Vlad and the entire army panicked as they realized that a single slam from this giant would definitely make the entire city come down.
“Shit! We have to stop him!”
“It’s not like it is even possible for us to stop such a huge guy so easily!”
“If we go against him, we’ll simply get stomped to death!”
The soldiers were wavering; Teressa glared behind them; she wanted to berate them, but she couldn’t blame them for feeling this way anyway.
Indeed, this being in front of them was simply too powerful and big; she had to take it on her own.
It would take away a considerable amount of her energies, but she could see that it wouldn’t be impossible.
“Vlad, I’ll-”
“Argentiaaaaaa!”
However, her voice was quickly interrumpted by Alitheus scream as the footsteps of an equally enormous being started approaching.
An enormous Silver Moonlight Dragon stepped in, covered in the flesh and blood of many monsters he had already slaughtered!
“Yes, my priestess!” he roared.
“Take care of the big guy! I’ll heal you from afar!” Alitheus said.
“Hoh, it’ll be an honor!”
Argentia glared at the charging multi-armed giant, his aura erupting with tremendous divine power from his divine protection, his claws clashing against Zergeous' many arms!
CLAAASH!
“Unggh?!”
Zergeous was immediately stopped, his charge coming to a halt before his face and body were covered in countless wounds!
“What?!”
Without noticing, there were already dozens of spears made of crystalized poison slowly melting his biological armor, covering his body.
“You know?! Before I was blessed by my priestess, I was actually a venom dragon!”
Argentia smiled maliciously, opening his jaws and channeling a deadly poisonous energy, unleashing a destructive venom breath!
BOOOM!
Zergeous roared furiously as his armor melted away, attacking Argentia back with his six weapons, cleaving apart his scales and leaving serious wounds over him. The dragon fiercely attacked with his magic and his claws as the two titans battled, making the world around them tremble.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
RUMBLE!
However, Argentia quickly noticed his wounds healing rapidly as golden light encompassed them; he gasped as he noticed Alitheus’ magic in effect.
“My lady!” he smiled. “With her at my side, I have nothing to fear, you fiend!”
Argentia pushed back Zergeous more and more as their battle shook the battlefield, killing many other monsters as they stomped over them.
“He’s handling it!” Chris smiled.
“Yeah, amazing!” nodded Vlad as he continued controlling and growing plants with all his Arcana Pool. “Now we need to just hold on and-”
CRAAASH!
However, their hope was quickly shattered as yet another titan emerged from the ground, even closer to the city walls themselves.
It resembled a massive centipede with hundreds of sharp legs and half the body of a woman on top of its head, showing her silver skin and red eyes, only partially covered on her armor.
“Iron Blood Emperor! You will pay for what you’ve done to our King and our people! We shall bathe in the blood of your descendants!”
Ding!
[The {Raid Boss: 2/3}: [Leferteti, The Giant Abyssal Centipede Queen (Tier 5)] has emerged from underground!]
[Her presence alone raises the Defenses of all nearby Neburians by 20%!]
And right from within the hole she created, hundreds of smaller armored centipedes emerged, hissing, rushing towards the walls.
“You’re kidding me…”
