Terra Nova Online : Rise Of The Strongest Player - Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Kidnapping Eren
( Eren’s POV )

Eren remained oblivious to the chaos brewing outside his tent and the imminent danger that he was in.

As the ‘Demon Whisperer,’ he had been making steady progress as of late, gaining lots of levels and the trust of his subordinates.

Currently, he was only 20 levels away from reaching the top 10,000 rankers list and he felt that if he successfully managed to capture the next town, he would easily enter the top 10,000 rankings and then some, since he was promised a +25 levels reward for the win.

Life had been treating him so well, that he had started to become complacent, never expecting there to be an attack against him while he was within the Demon Camp, as he considered the Demon Camp to be a safe and impregnable space.

Reclining on his bed, he reviewed a battle plan while two scantily-clad human slaves massaged his legs and an elf slave, similarly attired, fed him grapes.

It was the epitome of luxury, as for him he was already living in paradise.

However, this illusion of his was about to shatter, as while he was lost in thought, a shadow suddenly loomed over him, swiftly closing his mouth and plunging him into immediate silence and dread.

“Mmphhh–”

“Mmphhhh–”

Eren screamed, yet no sound came out of his mouth.

Looking around, he tried to gaze at his slaves for help, however, he found them knocked out cold, as a familiar masked face stared him in the eye.

‘The Boss! That’s The Boss! The number one player. I’ve seen that mask before when his pictures from the Grand Tournament were leaked, but what is he doing here? And how did he get here?’ Eren wondered as he immediately recognised Leo, which only made his squirming louder.

“Night Night–” Leo said, as Ben choked the man out cold, forcing his in-game character to fall into a state of unconsciousness.

‘Fucking player…. He recognised me …. I knew it! The demon whisperer had to be a player.

Good thing I did not kill him… he would have just spawned again’ Leo thought to himself, as he noticed how the man’s eyes changed when he saw his mask.

Although Leo did not know Eren personally, he assumed that Eren knew who he was, since the look that he gave him was not one of fear but rather one of acknowledgement.

“Let’s get out of here–” Leo said, as he quickly bundled Eren up like a doll and tied him up with ropes from head to toe, incapacitating him completely.

“Getting out of here will be trickier than getting in, since we won’t be able to use ‘Vanish’ while carrying this guy.

So in-case things turn dire, kill him, ditch him and run” Ben said, as Leo nodded and slung the unconscious Eren over his shoulders like a backpack, using the same ropes he used to tie him up as slings.

“Let’s go–” Leo said, as with a decisive dash, he and Ben stormed out of Eren’s tent.

Within a second, Eren felt bombarded with notifications as one second he was eating grapes, and the next he was out cold.

‘What the fuck? Why did ‘TheBoss’ just attack me out of nowhere?’ Eren thought, as he clicked on the third party POV option, and began observing his body from a fourth dimension that could not interact with the game world.

He observed how Leo tied him up like a mummy with ropes and then converted him into a guitar shaped backpack, as he could not help but feel immense anger towards ‘TheBoss’ when he observed this.

‘Hey, hey, hey, I’m not a guitar, why are you doing me like this? Why are you even kidnapping me?

We are in the heart of the demon camp, do you really think you can just walk in here and tie me up and walk out?

And who the fuck is that old man with you?’ Eren thought, as he observed Leo and Ben exchanging a few words, before the two suddenly dashed out of Eren’s tent.

‘Are you insane? Rushing out like that? You will be caught within a second.

Also, how did you make it here in the first place? How did you even approach me?’ Eren thought, as he observed Leo and Ben’s movements like a hawk.

The first thing that stunned him about Leo was his speed.

The speed at which he ran was unlike anything Eren had ever seen before and he was simply blown away by it.

While most players could not even run a hundred meters in 13 seconds, Leo should have easily covered the distance of 150 meters in 10 seconds or less, as he came a far distance outside the tent, before he was even spotted by the higher demons.

“Intruders!!! They have our main human slave on their backs!”

“Don’t let them escape!!! That human is property of Count Vaugn”

The high demons instantly raised the alarms, chasing after Leo and Ben, however, their choice of words really hurt Eren’s emotions, who did not appreciate being called a slave after everything that he had already done for them.

‘Why do they still call me a slave? I’m clearly their commander. Can’t they show me more respect?

Also, why are those high demons so slow? Why is the gap between ‘The Boss’ and them widening and not shortening?’ Eren wondered, as he watched the chase unfold with bated breath.

As the ‘Demon Whisperer’ , if he was truly captured by the humans and brought back to human territory, he was going to be penalized and have his level return to 0.

It was a fate that he could absolutely not afford and the only way he could avoid that cruel fate now, was if these high demons saved him.

‘That’s it! Although ‘The Boss’ is fast, he is now encircled by hundreds of demons on all sides. There’s no way he can get-out now.

I’ll be freed soon’ Eren thought, as after coming about half a kilometer away from his tent, Leo and Ben finally found themselves in a situation where they were surrounded by enemy demons on all sides.
