Side Stories: The Hero part 2
Apollo Slams down on the war table Everyone in the room looks towards him. he looks down at a physical map of Dutch Veil Forest. Screams could be heard from few different screens floating above the map.
Showing different perspective of each player going through the forest with their party getting attack and mostly killed by different undead creatures and magical beast.
"Damn it, Dood!" Apollo yells out the first to speak up in the war tent was Spice.
"No matter which way we enter the forest. the undead comes at all our scouting party at full force." Spice Says with a troubled look.
"I think we should just push through with our core Team and bash every undead filth standing in our way." A giant with long black hair that covered his eyes. wearing a barbarian like tunic says ducking a little trying to stay comfortable under the large tent that was surprisingly big enough for him to fit in it.
"I'm with Spandex guys." A gnome with purple & black colored emo like hair style Tattoos and scar like stitches all over his body all black mage robes says with depressing voice with a tired look yawning.
"I was going to suggest that but if Stitches here said it first than it must be a great idea what you think Tesla??" Apollo says with a nod looking at A Tall slim woman, leopard tail and ears only like A BeastKin but she was race known as the Demi-human. With Black colored ponytail style hair with glass, Wearing dark brown leather like armor, Wooden Bow and sliver arrows in a brown leather quiver on her back.
"I think we should push with the core team as well...but With Ryu's help. we should have him join the core raiding team since he has dealt with the place in the past." Tesla says pushing up her glasses as everyone in the tent sighs and thought on her comment.
"Ok...lets go with that." Apollo says towards the group with confidence.
Everyone nodded along with the plan. They all step out of the giant Tent looking towards the forest of Dutch Veil.
"Wait...where is Ryu?" Apollo ask as the rest of the Group look around with a shrug.
A Loud booming of thunder along with a storm that magically appeared out of nowhere. A large Black & purple colored dragon comes out of the sky Roaring loud enough to shake the core of every living thing in the area.
"Holy shit! Dood! A fucking Dragon!" Apollo shouts out with excitement.
The Dragon landed right in front of the large tent. The core team prepared their weapons for a fight.
A familiar figure Jumps off the back of the dragon landing right in front of Apollo.
"Ryu!!!?" Apollo yells out with surprise as the Dragon Knight attire changed This time his Dragon Scaled Armor was Black with purple glowing lighting effects. With A long Spear about the same color as the armor.
"Oh, Sup guys!!" Ryu says with a smile and a wave.
"Yo Ryu dood!! is that your own bad ass Dragon??" Apollo says looking amazed. Looking up at The Dragon who scales is the same as Ryu's Attire with its dragon eyes blazed with purple electricity.
"No bro... he's my companion and his name is Tempest, The Storm Dragon." Ryu says with pride Rubbing Tempest like a dog.
"Okay than...Tempest nice to meet you buddy." Apollo says while slowly walking towards the Dragon to pet it. It growls a little at him making Apollo jump back a little.
Ryu patted Tempest to calm him as it puffed up than started glowing purple while its form gotten smaller. small enough to be the same size as a horse.
"Glad that you arrived Ryu! We were just looking for you to help the core raiding team. to get through the forest and find the sword." Apollo says towards a Ryu who was looking at him with a cocky smile.
"Oh! well that what I was hoping for. I'm glad I did decide to come here and try to see what I could do to help the raid." Ryu says with an excited look.
After going over details with Ryu Apollo Summoned The rest of the guild that wasn't dead or in the Forest.
Apollo stood in front of thousands of players. from a cliff with his core raiding team and Ryu standing behind him.
"Boys and... well Boys!!" Apollo yells out towards the sea of players with his eyebrows moving Animated on the live stream.
"Today isn't just any day...Today is the day Where ya Boy Apollo goes in this Edgy ass forest and get my bad ass Big Dick Class !!" Apollo yells out with pride as the crowd goes crazy with cheers.
"To those that doesn't know... Us The core raiding team will be Pushing forward and heading into the Forest today! Watch How it is done by the best of the best That our guild Paragon has to offer!!!" Apollo yells out with his sword raised high with a funny sounding battle cry.
The Crowd roared with excitement. Apollo left the area along with Ryu and the core Raiding Team heading into the forest of Dutch Veil.
While walking in the forest Apollo check the stats of a few of his raiding team members. The first he looked at was Ryu.

"FOOLISH!!! Human!! Go and Devour Them My Kin!!!" Baldur yells out with the sound of battle Beginning to happen all around the area.
A Few moments after the battle started. The Area That was once a Dark eerie forest of Death was now A Battlefield of Death and Destruction.

He seen more Of The raid team members corpses than the Werewolves on the ground.
He walked Around The battle with his weapon Ready Covered in blood and a few wounds.

Spice Was panting While looking at Tesla who gave him a nod of acknowledgment. looking around the two Even though they were common class players.
They manage to take down 4 of the Wolves. While some that was ganging up on 1 and was still having trouble.
"See that boys...OGs in Paragon core raiding Team don't mess around!" Apollo says towards his live stream as the screen zoomed in on Stitches Who was surrounded by a blue Crystal-like barrier.
Standing beside him was A frosty maiden of ice Her skin Was Blue with A white long cloth covering her face. She wore a white dress that make her look like a ghostly bride.
Three other figures were standing not too far from Stitches. One was Wearing A hooded blue Robes with Golden runes on it. Shooting barrages of Arcane Spells at the Werewolves killing each one that was caught in the Area of explosions going off by the spells.
One Was Pale Skinned tall almost the same height as the beasts that were attacking. Showing bare Chest With its lower half a tatter. black robe Showing Bare pale claw feet.

Those Six wolves Were Using there speed to wear down The Giant Barbarian but Even with him Covered in Wounds. His HP Haven't Even drop lower 20% from full.
Apollo was Going to run over to help out his Giant friend. When he saw all six coming at the giant at once. Each of The Wolves was Hit by The Giant's Weapon That looked like a carved Tree.
Using His Two-Handed Skill
It was Like watching Moths going into A bonfire. How many of the beast's corpses was scattered and burnt with electricity still on their lifeless bodies Around Ryu and Tempest.
A Booming Roar ringed out on The Battlefield Showing Baldur Making his Entrance into the Fray.
The Screen Zoomed back towards Apollo's face.
"Boss Fight Boys!!!" Apollo yells out in excitement.
"It's Been Years Since the Last Time I fought a Dragon....Maybe Thousands....who could really keep up Right?? Hahaha!!!" Baldur Says with a deep Deadly voice.
"And possibly Your last Time to." Ryu says towards Baldur with a serious look.
"Oh! OOOH! Hah! This is great!! I can finally let loose after all this Time being Bored of death Literally!!" Baldur Says with a Wide Grin along with his blazing Eyes getting even more intense with flames.

"Tsk! Tsk... What A Pity! So much Mass but No Strength!! How The mighty Clan of Giants have Fallen!" Baldur Says with a murderous Grin.
Under Spandex Hair you can see his face with anger and veins popping out of his head. Trying to Pull away from the beast with all his strength.
Baldur griped hard onto the tree leaving cracks. Launched a punch directly into Spandex stomach as He let go of his weapon along with a gasp of air while clutching his stomach.
"Watch out Spandex!!" Ryu yells out but it was too late.
Baldur Swung the Tree like weapon into The Giant Barbarian sending him Along with his weapon Flying Crashing into the Forest like a boulder rolling down a hill.
After the dust and Destruction settled showed an unconscious Spandex covered in wounds laying in a pile of trees.
"Dood! Just that one little exchange basically almost killed spandex who is Stacked with HP now it's lower than 20%...Jesus!! Healers!!! Aid Spandex!" Apollo yells out the orders to the raid group.
A few Barrages of Arcane Spells were launched towards Baldur. Explosions after explosions were going off Baldur Swipe away the smoke Showing him unharmed.
Stitches Black knight instantly appeared on Baldur flank. Baldur Reacted quick dodging the fast attacks from the knight Than the tall pale one was coming up behind Baldur with blur movements.
Baldur Smiled Seeing both Stitches summons coming at him at once. The instant they arrive Baldur Claws burst with intense green hellfire.
Using His Unique Skill
"Noooooooo!!!" Stitches yells out as he kneels to the ground feeling the backlash from his dead summons.
Baldur Instantly Appears in front of stitches. His Ghostly Bride of Ice Stepped in front of Stitches protecting him with her Ice Shield.
Baldur Pierced Through That Ice Shield. Like A knife going through butter. Stabbing The Ghostly Bride with just one claw. She Howled a Ghostly whale Than turn into pixel dust.
Baldur Was going for stitches now. Stitches looked up with despair in his eyes seeing Giant Demonic Werewolf Coming down on him like he was a plate of Turkey.
Baldur Looked up And Jumped Backwards fast. A Purple Lighting Bolt Smashes heavily towards the spot Baldur was just at.
Tempest landed at that Spot Along with Ryu Who was looking at Baldur with A serious look as His Eyes Were glowing with blazing purple electricity.
"Here comes The Real FUN!!!!" Baldur Dash towards Ryu and Tempest With a burst of speed.
Ryu and Tempest meet him head on. They clashed with basic Attacks Tempest going for tail swings While Baldur dodges and jumps over them. While Ryu take Advantage of Baldur's timing Thrusting his Spear out towards the beast.
Baldur Blocks the thrust with his claws as both Ryu and Baldur Exchange Rapid blows of Spear and Claws.

Ryu looked at tempest as they both nodded at one another. Tempest Flapped his wings and Dashed Straight for Baldur crashing into him Charging through the forest with a path of destruction away from the Raid team.
Ryu Looked Back at Apollo Who was standing there looking dumbfounded at the battle that was going on.
"Go Ahead towards the sword I will keep Baldur busy for you and the Raid team can keep going." Ryu says towards Apollo Who was Shaking his head from the amazing battle he just saw.
"W-Wait Ryu. His stats just doubled, and I think he went up a tier we could possibly beat him if we all gang up on him." Apollo Says towards Ryu who shook his head with a no.
"Baldur Is one of Dutch's Most dangerous prisoner's if he's here it only means Dutch is close to obtaining the Sword for his master and need someone powerful to keep us busy and from you obtaining the sword of power
Explosions goes off towards the area where Baldur and Tempest went Showing purple and green colors colliding together in the sky.
Ryu looked towards that area with a troubled expression.
"Trust me bro... You got to keep going under wise that bad ass warrior King class you want will just be a dream." Ryu says looking back at Apollo with a cocky smile.
"You know what Ryu....I'm starting to think you might be right Dood. Okay Boys let's go and Leave Ryu with that mutt!" Apollo says towards Raid team as they all march off With Apollo leading the way with his

A few moments Later of Running through the forest The Core Raid Team stumbled onto A mountain that looks like a Volcano Showing a path heading up the side of the mountain They walked the trail up into the Mountain.
Apollo Stop as They arrived on a cliff Showing an Ancient Temple on the inside of the mountain. Two large golden Double doors with dragon's design etched into the doors. it was fully open.
Apollo and the raiding team slides down the cliff and walked up the stairs into the temple. What awaited them Was A large room With a Giant stone in the middle Along with A Sword stuck in the middle of it.

With Orange and White short hair brown skin tone, Dressed in Black colored Tribal Attire with An Animal Skull on top of her wooden staff. She turns around with a creepy Grin Saying "Hello...Hero Your far too late My spell just completed."
The shaman slams her staff down A Dark eerie force field surrounded the sword in the stone along with Dark Spirits floating around the sword inside of the Field.
"Oh, Shit boys we got ourselves A BOSS FIGHT!!" Apollo yells out into the Live stream screen showing his face doing a pose with his eyebrows.
