MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online - Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Weakened
Inside the staff quarters, Jordan carefully covered his bed with the bed sheet. With his hand, he smoothed out any wrinkles before placing the pillow on top.

It was about time to make the breakfast, and the other members of the kitchen staff were slowly waking up.

As he was still a junior staff member, he woke up earlier than others to make an impression on his supervisors.

However, at that moment, his phone on top of the desk buzzed loudly.

“Who could be calling me this early?” Jordan took the phone, accepted the call, and pressed it against his ear. “Hello, who is this?”

A deep voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Hmm?” Jordan nodded. “Moriarty is requesting a special vitamin soup?”

He kept nodding.

“Y-yes, sir. Coming right up, sir!”

With an excited shout, the call disconnected.

“No way…” Jordan smiled from ear to ear. “I can’t believe Moriarty himself asked for my special vitamin soup!”

It was his specialty, and he’d been posting on social media about different kinds of vitamins and their benefits for months.

He was quite proud of being able to make a soup that was able to keep people energized for the whole day!

‘Maybe they’re keeping an eye on my social media, and that’s how Moriarty found out about it?’

Jordan giggled, and in excitement, he put on his kitchen staff outfit before storming out. He needed to finish the soup before the rest of the kitchen staff members started to make the breakfast for everyone.

After blitzering across the hallways, he arrived at the kitchen and put the stove on full blast.

‘Ingredients…’ Jordan turned his gaze to the storage and hurried there.

As he opened the door and stepped inside, suddenly arms wrapped around his throat and he squeezed the air out of his lungs.

“Urgh!” He let out a single airless groan before his body turned limp and he collapsed on the ground.

Adam immediately closed the door and started stripping Jordan off his staff outfit.

When he was done, he put his old clothes over Jordan and started carrying him on his shoulder.

[Hera: What’re you doing?]

“If I leave him here, the kitchen staff will find him.” Adam said.

[Hera: If you leave with him, won’t the security system notice his foreign clothes and start shooting?]

“The second weakness of the system is that it will only shoot at someone showing life signals. That’s why you didn’t shoot at those intruders because they were already dead, right?”

[Hera: …Roger]

“Whoo…” Adam took a deep breath and stepped outside the storage.

He waited one second, two seconds, three seconds…

After seeing that nothing happened, he sneakily climbed out of the window and carried Jordan over the wall.

Instead of taking him somewhere else, he dropped Jordan straight on the sidewalk and rushed back inside the building.

While Hera was wondering why he did that, the bodyguards, a short distance away, turned around again and noticed a passed-out young man on the sidewalk.

They rushed over and checked his pulse, which was faint but still there.

“He has passed out.” The first bodyguard said and looked to the sunny sky. “A heat stroke, maybe?”

“Just call an ambulance.” The second bodyguard said, and then found a tourist guide from the young man’s pocket.

“Tourists, tch. Always causing trouble.”

“Must be someone from cooler areas.” The first bodyguard said. “Wearing such warm clothes. It was as if he was asking to get a heat stroke.”

Inside the building, Adam put on a junior chef’s hat to hide his face from the cameras and then made his way out of the kitchen.

‘Now, where the hell is that fucker?’ Adam frowned as he made his way down the long hallways. ‘If I were him, I would’ve also made a similar kind of secret room.’

…

“Huff, huff, huff!” Alistair panted heavily as his sword swings had turned heavier.

The rest of the guild masters had also become more sluggish. Their attacks had no weight behind them anymore.

‘What is happening?’ Alistair groaned. ‘I feel… weak.’

“Hahahaha!” King Moriarty roared in laughter. “Soon the seal is gone!”

‘Seal?’ Alistair wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “What’re you talking about?”

“This is a blessing.” King Moriarty laughed. “I am grateful for all of you coming here. It sped up things greatly!”

The rest of the guild masters looked over with frowns on their faces.

“I thought I had to bring thousands of mercenaries to the world of mist to get rid of the seals, but since six of you came, that isn’t necessary anymore.

“You’re giving enough power to the heart to free the warlords!”

“I see.” Alistair looked down to the hole. “That’s why you haven’t killed us yet. You want us to keep fighting so that we transfer more power to break those seals.”

“Bingo. You’ve always been the smart one, Alistair.” King Moriarty laughed. “It doesn’t matter if you knew early. None of you would’ve been able to leave this place either way!”

…

The world of the mist.

CRACK!

The chains cracked and shattered. Only one sealing chain remained!

Adelram, Kol, Pandora, and Gabriel stood near the door. Their overwhelming malice quieted the world around them.

…

Bartholomew and Ambrose collapsed down on their knees. They felt very weak, like there wasn’t any strength in their bodies anymore.

Alistair gritted his teeth and swung his sword heavily, but King Moriarty just laughed and dodged.

“Your sword is heavy, isn’t it? You’re so weak to even carry it.”

Orion’s back hunched even further. It looked like he was aging at an alarming rate.

“Huff…” Alistair was the last one standing. “You…”

“What?” King Moriarty smirked. “Now that all your strength is gone from your bodies, I’ve no need for any of you. Thus, I shall kill all of you right now.”

“You will perish, Moriarty.” Alistair said coldly. “One way or another.”

“Heh!” King Moriarty grinned and raised his sword high.

BOOM!

At that moment, the throne room’s door slammed wide open, and from there, Aria Darkstar stepped through with a cold look plastered on her pink-skinned face.

“Aria…” Alistair narrowed his eyes.

“Aria, you must help us to destroy him!” Ambrose screamed.

“Hmm.” King Moriarty smiled. “Well, well~”
