NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29: SilverPup And BlueHeroine - Part 1
Luel enjoys his dinner together with Amy, making him forget that he almost has another anxiety and panic attack.
However, the idea that everything that happens today is just a dream is still on his mind, along with another ridiculous thought that his dinner together with Amy is probably his last meal and that when he closes his eyes to sleep tonight, he won't probably ever wake up.
Putting aside Luel's delusion that everything is going so well only to be ruined by impeding disaster, there's something he is more concerned about than falling asleep and never waking up ever again.
Luel is currently in his room on the second floor of the house.
Amy is in the guest room on the ground floor.
There are only two of them spending the night at Luel's house.
Luel has definitely been enticed by Amy's fresh out-of-the-bath look and her bashful, modest reaction. He's lying down on his bed, thinking of Amy while looking at the poster on the wall of his room.
The poster of RAIDS ONLINE with Amy and Selene together.
Then, one of the basic human instincts hit him so hard that his left hand...
"GAAHHHH!!!..."
Luel's scream echoes within his room, as he tries to suppress his desire.
Of course, that would be his reaction. He's a man after all.
Even if it's just in his imagination, he wanted to do it.
But that would be disrespectful not only to Amy but as a member of Amy's Fan Club. Especially since Amy shows concern and kindness when Luel is about to have anxiety and panic attacks.
That's why Luel controls his desire and tries to reach enlightenment in the middle of the night.
.

.
To divert his attention even to the slightest degree, Luel goes back on his research about Amy or rather, BlueHeroine and SilverPup's history.
Among the first players who started playing when RAIDS ONLINE became popular worldwide more than three years ago are BlueHeroine and SilverPup.
Compared to SilverPup, which started with an average Link Force of 10 percent, BlueHeroine is among the players that have a high-starting Link Force of 27 percent. And just like Luel, BlueHeroine was hunted and killed many times by the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus until BlueHeroine's Link Force went down below 10 percent.
BlueHeroine is a solo player, but she's skillful enough to defeat and devour Rank E to Rank C Ragnarok Beast on her own to increase her Link Force.
On the other hand, SilverPup is more of a team player. She regularly hosts large Raids to help other players increase their Link Force, gain experience fighting Ragnarok Beasts, and become a better RAIDS ONLINE player.
Like what Luel has learned before, SilverPup's hatred to BlueHeroine originated from different incidents where BlueHeroine would unintentionally cause collateral damage to SilverPup's Raids while being chased by high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts.
SilverPup's Link Force remains below the 50 percent boundary, while BlueHeroine managed to get through even as a solo player and reach 65 percent Link Force. The highest record of all the players' Link Force after playing RAIDS ONLINE for a year.
That's when BlueHeroine challenges the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus.

[Raid Against Rank C Ragnarok Beasts - Video (2 years ago)]
[Location: Area CC+7, Dune Terra]
...ROOAAARRRRR!!!...
...WARGHHHH!!!...
A Raid between a swarm of Rank C Ragnarok Beasts which includes hundreds of Minotaurs, Centaurs, Lycans, Basilisks, Onis, Wyrms, and even Manticores against hundreds of RAIDS ONLINE Players from the six Devour Classes, that's the video Luel is currently watching in the middle of the night.
It's one of the biggest Raid hosted by the Orion Guild with SilverPup as the leader.
In an open desert with nothing but dunes of sands and rock terrains, hundreds of Rank C Ragnarok Beasts have gathered, attracted to the gathering of more than a hundred RAIDS ONLINE players.
It may seem like the players are trapped, surrounded by the swarm of Ragnarok Beasts coming from all directions. However, all the players at the center of the dessert are nothing but bait to lure all the incoming Ragnarok Beasts, as other smaller groups, numbering more than a hundred players, are waiting even further away from where all the Ragnarok Beasts have come from.
The gathering of players acting as bait will have to hold their ground and survive while the reinforcement groups will attack the swarm of Ragnarok Beasts from behind.
With that strategy, none of the Ragnarok Beasts would be able to escape and all the players will have their share to devour and increase their Link Force.
...Charge x Howl - Moonlight!...
With SilverPup on the lead, all the Orion Class players activate their Moonlight Skill.
The moonlight that ray upon the hundreds of players not only illuminates their surroundings but also increases the speed, strength, and vitality of all the players, which gives them confidence that they can stand their ground against the overwhelming numbers of Ragnarok Beasts coming from all directions.
"Hold your ground... Wait for it..."
...ROOAAARRRRR!...
"NOW!..."
...MORPH!!!...
The players intercepted the swarm of Ragnarok Beasts by unleashing all of their Devour Beast Classes Morph Skills.
The sliver light wolf of Devour Moonlight Beast Orion.
The black lightning tiger of Devour Lighting Beast Saber.
The golden blaze fox of Devour Nine-tailed Beast Fiamma.
The vermilion radiant phoenix of Devour Vermilion Beast Aurora.
The azure wave serpent of Devour Azure Beast Asherah.
And the white phantasma beast of Devour White Beast Alpha.
It was another spectacular battle that demonstrated the power of the six Devour Beast Classes.
The players acting as bait hold their ground and survive until the reinforcement groups arrive and attack the swarm of Rank C Ragnarok Beasts from behind.
It should have been an easy win from that part as the RAIDS ONLINE players slowly defeated and devoured all the Ragnarok Beasts. However...
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
BlueHeroine arrived at the site of SilverPup's Raid with the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus on the chase.
