Paul and Chris were looking at the messages in front of them; they were thinking they could finally take a break and go eat dinner with their respective families, but a crisis had suddenly befalleire city of Elderbridge.
A Raid!
Fmes and red crystals were rapidly spreading around the entire pza, and some of the houses around it were already set abze. Where the fmes burned, red crystals would grow from their ashes.
The fmes, however, didn’t move on their own; they were propagated by the monsters ing from the two dungeons. Formerly Tier 1 and Tier 2 Dungeons, the monsters ing out of them were siderably strohan them.
The Wild Dogs were covered in fmes and armor made of red crystals, and so were the Vampiric Bats, who flew around spreading fmes much faster with their ability to fly.
There were pyers fighting, mostly low-level Tier 1 and Tier 2 ones, which made up the majority of pyers in this city because it was sidered a “newbie vilge” where pyers would usually start their avatar’s lives and, after reag Tier 3, they would move out somewhere else.
Therefore, aside from the handful of Tier 3 pyers, there just weren’t enough strong pyers to deal with over two hundred bzing monsters, with augmented vitality and strength, and with new fire-breathing magic powers.
The inhabitants had all escaped, and Vd khat the Elite of the Hunter Association wouldn’t get here any time soon, as the entire order of defense of this city was screwed. Without an actual moary iive, they would rather run away than fight for the city.
The iive of Raid Points for Pyers, however, made them all work hard to at least stop some of the monsters, which had helped the propagation of fmes slow down, even if for a couple minutes.
Vd knew very well hile and vulnerable the city of Elderbridge was! He had also already discovered that his mother was the city’s actual duchess, something to which he had not paid much attention at first.
“Holy sh*t, everything is burning!” Chris said,, looking around. “Paul, what do we do?! I’m exhausted already!”
“Nothing else than to fight; that’s what we’ll do!” Paul said. “Well, if you want, you log out; I’ll stay. I o at least stop these things.”
Vd quickly stepped forward, leaving Chris behind as his Ara was below five thousand, his armor had low durability, and his already crippled body was already very tired too.
CLASH!
“Ugh, dammit, this is too much!”
The scream of a pyer quickly caught his attention, as he saw a group of Tier 1 newbies fighting four Bzing Armored Wild Dogs, as strong as Tier 3 monsters.
“We have to log out; we ’t earn points like this man!”
“This is too unfair!”
“ROAR!”
The wolves roared furiously, attag them with ferocious cw attacks, whileashed explosions of fmes and sharp crystals, pierg through their armor and skin.
The group was posed of tolves, one ord a gargoyle, their tank, but the gargoyle girl’s stone skin was full of cracks, bleeding all over.
Her shield was beginning to burn and shatter too!
“e on!”
They charged forward, the orc swung his axe, and the tolves used their swords to pierce the skin of the dog in front of them.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“GRAARR!”
However, the wolf gave a loud, ferocious roar. Although their attack did some damage, it was not enough; a simple reed a shockwave of fire, sending the pyers flying away.
RUMBLE!
“Uaagh!”
“No! My on broke!”
“My armor is burning!”
The pyers quickly started to panic; logging out in the middle of a battle actually had a cooldown of 10 seds, and although they were doing just that, the dogs were faster, rushing towards them to finish them off.
For pyers that could revive normally, there were penalties for dying; usually, they would drop things from their iory, earn some credits, and even lose some of their progress, losing one rank out of ten within their current tier.
This punishment became harsher with each Tier they achieved, so pyers just itting to achieve something wasn’t a good strategy because of such penalties.
“ROAR!”
The bzing wild dogs reached them, their bzing cws slig down with rapid attacks, explosions of fmes surging stantly; their bodies couldn’t resist much longer.
Yet…
“{Ice Shards}!”
A crimson knight appeared out of nowhere, smming into the ground right where the dogs were and unleashing three powerful ks of frost into the monster’s faces.
BOOOM!
The frost rapidly expanded, his hands covered on this same ice as he attacked the beasts with his bare hands, their crystal armor shattering into pieces by his might.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BAAAM!
“W-Watch out!”
As the knight had taken down three wolves, awo rushed towards him from behind, while a third prepared a giant fireball to greet him from above.
Yet!
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, a phantasmal crimson knight appeared out of the shadow of this man, attag the two wolves behind him with even more strength than him, shattering their skulls with a mere punch.
Then, jumping over their corpses, the phantasmal warrior broke the mandibles of the wolf and stopped its ting; the fireball exploded in midair, hurting nobody.
“Good thing the Blood Phantom e’s time is still over half an hour; I have this to help me out.” Vd sighed in relief, looking at the pyers. “Quickly log out! You ’t hahis! Thanks for your help, though.”
“Holy sh*t, isn’t that the guy from the speedrun?!”
“Woah, he’s him!”
“Vd, right?!”
“ you do me a shoutout? I also got a el.”
“Enough! These are urgent matters; yoing to die if you stay!” Vd smmed their heads. The pyers were ag like children.
“Okay, okay!”
They quickly started logging out, oer another. Vd was then surrounded by five more dogs and seven Vampiric Bats above him.
“Huh, you’re not making this easy, aren’t you?” he sighed. “Unending Crimson, you tricked me!”
The wolves and the bats then started to ugh.
“Trick you?” o ughed.
“There is no such thing as trickery!” the dog beside him said.
“You beat me in that dungeht?”
“You simply cked information about the other two dungeons.”
Vd didn’t say a word; visibly too pissed to care, he quickly charged against the dog, smming their heads with a club made of ice by bining Ice Shard with his Magid.
BAAAM!
The dog’s head was caved in by the ice, as the frost was tainted with the red color of their blood, its body dropping down before it could do anything.
“What are you waiting for? e, all of you at once.”
“ROOAAR!”
“SHYAAH!”
The roars of the beasts reverberated, rushing towards Vd all at oheir cws, explosive bzing attacks, and fireballs bombarded him stantly.
Amidst dozens of attacks, he moved, his fists eling the power of his Blood Power and his Soul Aether, f an Aura of Gold and Crimson.
“{Soul-Eating Fist Teique}: {Bzing Soul Fist Rain}!”
His hands eled the fme of his very soul, bined with his blood energy, geing a gold and red-colored fire, which merged with the frost element imbued into his hands, creating azure-colored fire and frost fmes.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
The monster’s souls were torn apart with each punch, and their bodies started freezing. Oer another, Vd started making his way through, even as fireballs bombarded him and powerful jaws tried to bite him.
[“Fool! For how long you have been waiting?! Use my powers and wipe the floor with them!”]
The Heavenly Demon had grown tired of Vd’s struggles.
“I ’t afford to use it so easily; we’re in a crisis, and that power sts for a couple of miwo bosses are roaming the city; I o pinpoint where they are first before I use the buff!” said Vd.
[“If you activate the buff, you will be able to easily do it by expanding your powerful Ki Aura!”]
[“Because you ’t use Ki in your current state, deteg enemies is extremely hard for you!]
Vd remained in silence as he kept frantically fighting, but more and more monsters kept ing, stantly swarming him over!
“D-Dammit!”
His Blood Phantom e was fighting fiercely as well; their teamwork was great! However, it was not enough; the numbers were much more overwhelming than in the dungeon.
Crack, crack…!
“At this pace, my armoing to break!”
Vd was trying to make some space for himself, using his Ara as little as possible and preferring to attach two icicles to his arms. Like this, each of his blows would pierce his foe’s bodies with an ice spear, spreading frost iheir wounds and weakening them, as they were all fire-type monsters.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Yet, there were too many; no matter what, he was being thrown around, unched into the ground, and even lunged into the air by all the ferocious beasts.
[“See? What did I say?!”]
“I hahis. I .”
Although Vd was saying this, he was already sidering using the Heavenly Demon buff to gain the upper hand.
However.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three Ice Arrows reached the monsters swarming him; dozens of creatures were covered in explosions of frost, temporarily freezing instantly, their fmes weakening.
“That’s…!”
Paul looked into the skies, his eyes widening. He had thought he had logged out. After all, he couldn’t bme him if he wao go have dinner instead of pying a game.
Yet he was there anyway!
“Chris!”
The sexy red-haired Incubus was above the skies, wielding his magic bow and imbuing it with his Light, f another ice arrow, this time one shining like gold.
“Hah, you’re really hopeless without me, aren’t you? Okay, let me give you a hand! Dinner wait!”
Chris fired a giant Holy Ice Arrow, which hit the surrounding monsters again, dividing in midair into ten smaller arrows. This was without a doubt a Skill!
“Did he learn Archery Teiques?!”
Vd quickly stepped out of the se as explosions of light and frost bombarded the monsters, freezing them and then purifying them, tearing them down to pieces.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
[“Well, you got your ass saved by that twink again! He’s definitely bride material! Why haven’t you made any advances on him yet? You should bring him to your bed and do love to him already!”]
“Shut up, horny old man!”
Vd was not having it today, quickly shutting down the Heavenly Demon as he rushed amidst a swarm of Vampiric Bats in the sky. With his e above him, the two unleashed a barrage of punches, destroying the monster’s souls and freezing their bodies, making them fall to the ground.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Clear!”
Chris called, telling Vd that he had cleared his perimeter.
“Good! This area’s clear; let’s go to the west; there’s more monsters accumuted over there... Shit!”
RUMBLE!
Before Vd could get closer to Chris, however, a giant silhouette loomed amidst the buildings—a massive wolf of over twenty meters i.
Covered with red crystals and fmes, it was definitely not the same thing that he and the incubus had defeated some days ago.
“AWOOO!”
With a mighty howl, the gigantic bzing wolf unleashed a bzing fre of fmes, which was about to hit Chris! Vd khat if he were to get hit by that, there wouldn’t even be ashes left.
“Chris!”
He quickly used five hundred Ara at once, imbuing his legs with as much wind as possible and flying like a bullet towards Chris, grabbing him and rushing down before the beam was to get to him.
BOOOM!
The building right behind them exploded into pieces, fmes spreading everywhere and then quickly crystallizing.
“Damn, thanks for the save.” Chris sighed in relief. “But is that…?!”
“Yeah, that’s the first dungeon boss.” muttered Vd.
The wolf gred down at them.
“GRRHHH…”
The weakest boss iire game...
It had bee a city-destroying threat!
