The Geomchis waited and waited for their chance. Their patience ran dry and anger welled up in their chest. They were thirsty for blood and they were thirst to avenge. They would not let a single persons death here go in vain. They were going to rob the happiness of those cruel guild masters. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and death for the guilty. If VR consoles had a limit to how much rage one is allowed to experience in a game, then the Geomchi’s virtual reality console would have snapped long ago. The disciples watched with their eyes wide open without blinking. Each one counted each sword slash, each time an elemental attack was used or when an item was used. The memories of the screams and howlings were ingrained deep within their minds and became knowledge that fueled their strength.
All of them were enraged beyond belief. They sat and watched hundreds of innocent and defenseless NPCs slaughtered in front of them. The rage within them built up and built up.
As their anger grew so did their strength. It grew to the point that the game system created multiple skills for them…the Geomchis weren’t event aware that multiples skills had been created for them when they were hiding.
Even when the system rang with a ‘TRRINNG!!’, their focus did not break. Even when the tiny window popped up in front of them, they simply closed it immediately without reading it or ignored it completely.
TRRINGG!
If fear that the guild masters felt at that point could be described in one word that word would be Geomchi. The Geomchis had transformed into a a terrifying force of vengeance. They were quick to close the distance between their hiding spots and the remaining guild masters. The guild masters didn’t even see them coming, only Weed saw it unfold from start to finish; a mix of advance martial art movements and rage.
‘Was rage overclocking their movements?’ Weed wondered about it.
The war cry of the Geomchis turned into a skill during their charge. It left the guild masters feeling fear, despair and confusion. Even without it the Geomchis were a terrifying sight. Their numbers almost evenly matched the guild masters, having nineteen overly muscular huge men charge towards you with swords the size of a full grown man being waved around while letting out a scary scary war cry would leave anyone pissing in their pants (Author Note: apologise for the crude choice of words and grammar). What was going on in the minds of those guild masters at that point would forever remain a mystery.
Weed wondered if the guild masters could would they have confessed that just seeing the Geomchis charge had them repenting for their actions. Weed certainly did. He was no longer viewing things in black and white. The goodness that he thought that died within him and been reignited. He too felt the Geomchis rage and passionate anger as they began their counter attack. Weed considered joining them but knew that if he could help then it would be by chopping of the snakes head. Weed moved in the shadows as sneaky and silent as ever towards the ceremony platform.
“What the heck!” A guild master screamed as he hit back two Geomchis. “Where did these guys come from? Cherie aren’t you monitoring the area?”
“I don’t know….I didn’t feel their presence a bit…” A female guild master replied as she stabbed a Geomchi.
More guild masters moved in to help their fellows seeing how the Geomchis were pretty tough and immune to pain. Most people would wince in pain if stabbed but the Geomchis didn’t even remotely react. The Geomchis unleashed the full power of raging berserker mode and demonic rage onto the guild masters. The average guild master was level 200 in RREV and had obtained a class C elemental affinity. The average Geomchi was level 65 Class E. The gap between the Geomchi and the guild master was around 130 levels and 2 classes.
Raging Berserker closed the gap substantially, the Geomchis with raging berserker mode were more like level 100 Class E. Given their better martial arts judgement, the Geomchis hovered closer to level 110 / E. The Demonic Rage pushed them easily into the 180 level range.
How? Raging Berserker and Demonic Rage upped their strength, defense, speed and other combat stats and skills and damage by 90%-200% (depending on which one). The effects of that were similar to those being on steroids and then taking extra steroids. The negative side was death at the end of the fifteen minutes the Geomchis would be dead.
Raging Berserk and Demonic Rage wouldn’t have worked had it not been for the stat Endure. It also massively helped the Geomchis. The Geomchis could endure huge amounts of pains thank to it. The stats complemented each other. Endure also prevented pain and stun lock and Raging Berserk lowered the extent of the damage taken.
To sum up, the Geomchis provided more than sufficient challenge to the tired guild masters who were being forced to restore to stamina replenishing potions which cost a bomb and provided little effect.
The Geomchis didn't hold back one bit. They went all out. Weed witnessed some very horrifying moves that day....moves that made everything he learnt in martial arts so far seem like a kids brawl. It could be best said that the fifteen guild masters fell to the crushing blows of the Geomchis in thirteen minutes flat.
Weed’s jaws dropped open; the Geomchis had done something that defied all logic.

Authors Note:
1. So wow. This chapter came out better than I hoped! I had written some of it on Monday but it wasn't as good as the final version.
2. I hope we RESPECT the Geomchis a bit more from now on. ;)
3.There might be some errors in the table. Stat or Skill might have been interchanged in some places or the leveling is wrong. Or the % numbers are wrong. Let me know, dead tired to review my own work right now.
4. V10C4 to V10C6 is pretty much ready. However, I want to gain some reader feedback on these chapters and then fine tune those before posting.
