(Calica Plains, 4km West from Kalren City)
10,000 feet in the sky, a large Airship took place, the view shifts to the western walls of the city in the distance, hundreds of monsters and beast appeared from the northern side, means that if the battle continues, the city will have an inevitable siege.
Guildmaster Zenro, and other 500 Adventurers look at the ground below seeing hundreds of monsters headed towards the entrance.
The Guildmaster crack his knuckles before he face towards the Adventurers.
Guildmaster: We gotta go now, people! It is not too late!
Random Adventurer 1: Wait, are we gonna jump?
Guildmaster: What? No, there are hundreds of beast down there, that will be suicide.
Hearing his words, most of the adventurers sign in relief.
But except for some people.
Nogla: Oh come on you bunch of pussies, don't be too soft on me now, guys, this will be fun!
Man: Fun? Its more like stupid instead of being a brave, you little wank.
The same guy that provoke Nogla said.
Vanoss: Hey! Nobody has to make fun of our friend but me, fucking baldy!
Man: Oh, you think you can mess with me? I'm higher rank than you, beastmen!
Guildmaster: Oi oi oi, who said we should fight here?
Man: Nobody, Guildmaster.
Guildmaster: Right, you too, buddy. Better behave yourself or else I will yeet you off the ship.
Vanoss: Alright :)
Meanwhile, Terroriser and Wildcat were at the edge of the decks looking at the horde of beast about to attack the defenders of the city.
Terroriser is currently scanning the battle with his advance cybernetic eyes. The numbers of the monsters were about 800 at the west but hundreds more were coming from the north. It appears the city's defenders on the west is not enough to defend themselves for long with those numbers.
After finishing scanning the battle, he turns his head towards his pig friend, Tyler.
Terroriser: So your saying Evan puts 7 skills on all of us? What is mine exactly?
Listening his Irishman friend, Tyler just shrugged.
Wildcat: Something about armor or something what Evan said, don't know.
Terroriser: Well, I have to find out myself then.
Wildcat: What? Gonna jump off the ship?
Terroriser: Probably.
Wildcat: Don't be arrogant, Brian. There are like over hundreds of these monster, you know its kinda suicide if you actually did that ¦D
By the time Tyler open his eyes, he lost sign of Terroriser. He looked around before looking below.
Terroriser(Distance): I'll be back, Tyler! Don't worryyy.........
Wildcat: Brian, you fucker... Guildmaster!
Guildmaster: Yeah?
Wildcat: Umm yeah my friend... he jumped.
Guildmaster: What?
Looking every people in the ship's decks, he notice the weird black clothing guy wasn't present. But then he now realize the pig beastmen's words were right, he look back at Wildcat with his eyes widened and shouted.
Guildmaster: He jumped?!?!
Widened his eyes in surprise, he was not the only one with the same reaction but the other adventurers.
What Brian did was an another level of recklessness, even the Guildmaster call that stupid. Well, he could do that but being in a very low rank, no one could survive facing against hundreds of town destroying monsters.
Before he could react, Nogla lightly pushes him and says.
Nogla: Alright, one for all!
Guildmaster: Wait! Wait! Wait! You don't have anything to land on!
Before he could stop Nogla, he jumped without listening his words.
Vanoss: We don't need to land on! We could just fly, Mr. Saxton Hale!
Running towards the edge, Evan raises his arms and jump off the airship as well.
Looking at Tyler that seemed he wants some answers, Tyler just shrugged.
Wildcat: They're always like that. Well, my apologies.
With a salute, Wildcat simply drop himself leaving the surprise Guildmaster and the adventurers.
Random Adventurer 2: Did you regret on letting them join, Guildmaster?
They expect the Guildmaster would just sign in defeat but what they didn't expect was him laughing hard enough to let 500 people hear it.
Guildmaster: Of course not! I was surprise because of their sudden actions. It makes me gave them very good impression, I like them even more now! Haha!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hundreds upon hundreds of beast are currently attacking the western walls of the city. The defenders were having a hard time to defend against an endless amount of Monsters.
What make things worse is that the western part of the city has atleast the most smallest compare to the other sides. Because the northern and eastern part of the city has the most numbers compare to the others which they send 75-70% of the entire army at it.
There are over 2000 numbers of defenders in the western side, while having superior numbers, they are not powerful enough to kill large number of monsters. Most of them are either at the rank of <E> rank, their most strongest practitioners were only at <C–> rank. But unfortunately there are only a smalk number of them.
While a bit strong than that doesn't mean they could kill a lot faster. Everytime they kill one beast, a dozen more takes its place.
While the defenders were struggling, they didn't notice one falling man headed towards the middle of the horde.
An instant later, a man landed in the ground in the middle of the monster wave, killing a dozen by the impact.
It was Terroiser.
As soon as he appeared, a group of monsters rushed towards him. They did not know how this prey fell here, but they did not care. For the monsters, it was enough as long as they could eat a tasty snack.
Unfortunately, this tasty snack was not something they could eat.
Terroriser: Let's see what did Evan give me, hope its better than those Christmas gifts he sent me a few years ago.
Pressing something at midair, Terroriser gave out a question look before giving a meh look and press something.
Suddenly, the Irish cyborg's back opens revealing some sort of Propulsors.
But the only reaction Brian made was a confuse look.
This isn't the one he was trying to find.
Terroriser: Wait a minute, I don't think thats the right on—
*BOOOM!!!*
Before he could speak, his {Flight} mode automatically activates instantly, letting out the engine in full power, blasting Terroriser to the sky, the force of the lift off was too strong that it instantly kill the monsters near him.
Terroriser: TOO MUCH! TOO MUCH!! TOO MUCH!!!
An enormous shockwave shook the surroundings. The monsters and the residents in the walls only saw a flash of light advancing at incredible speed towards the city.
Taking harder to control, Terroriser couldn't help but fly around uncontrollably, he couldn't take on the massively Hypersonic speed he was in. He was too fast that it manage to tear the fabric of space, especially went in the west to the east of the city only just a microsecond, leaving behind the frightened monsters and the defenders wearing grave expressions. It was a miracle that Terroriser's flesh could withstand the speed he was in.
Meanwhile back to the two Demigods fighting, they were about to clash with their swords again until a powerful object with a human scream passes between them, interrupting their fight.
The speed and the sudden appearance of the unknown object made the two demigods fighting in the air surprised. They quickly retreated and took defensive stances.
Enemy Demigod: What in the bloody is that?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time, a fierce fight was unfolding inside the city.
Marcel, with the Netherite sword in his hand and a rocket Launcher in the other, was fighting against a group of black-dressed men. At the same time, Xavier had wearing full enchanted Netherite armor inlcuding drinking every enhance potions, making it able to protect him and Marcel against 40 more black dressed-men.
Marcel and Xavier cooperation was flawless. The two killed as the ultimate duos between a warrior and a tank. Despite them being surrounded by 40 of black-dressed men attacking frantically, the two did not seem too disadvantaged.
Quite the opposite, Marcel was calmly dealing with the attacks coming towards him.
Herald's expression was dark. He thought that Marcel would panic after his friend was gone, but contrary to his expectations, he appeared leisure, as though it was nothing but a game.
Make things worse, the golem is gotten far stronger than before. He wore an armor similar to the metal of the sword Marcel has and the magic energy emited was incredible far. Able to rival the Theocracy's greatest treasures.
If he didn't bring <B> rank combatants with him, the whole battle will be nothing but a massacre. Fortunately he bought 10 <B> ranks, able to hold themselves from the Golem.
Of course, he could not know that Marcel truly considered this just a game. For Marcel, even if he could not win, he could use an enderpearl, give one to Xavier then throw it very far so they can escape from here. By then, unless an A-rank or a demigod appeared, Herald would not have a way to make them stay.
So, Marcel was fighting leisurely alongside with Xavier, using this opportunity to test the limits of his strength and see how far he could manage to go.
The remaining black-dressed men that were attacking him were now a total of 21, after he killed seven and Xavier killed twelve, two of them were at <B> ranks.
Originally, there were 14 B-ranks, but two went to check the situation of Gracie, one was killed by Moo, and one more was protecting Herald, leaving only ten of them to fight Marcel and Xavier.
But Marcel was not too worried about the ten B-rank black-dressed men. With Xavier in his side, he was confident he could put a fight against them even if he could not win.
The one that made him wary was Skyler.
Skyler's ability to disappear was truly top grade. Even him and Xavier had trouble to find her unless she was in a few meters of him. But Skyler seemed to have noticed it, so she always waited beyond that distance and attacked when she found an opportunity.
Marcel felt a headache each time he had to deal with her annoying ambushes.
In truth, she was the main reason he was at a disadvantage.
And also, compare to the other enemies he fought, Skyler seems like the only person be doesn't know what rank she is. Its like she was hiding it.
Due to the fact that he had to be wary of her attacks, he could not put his entire focus on the black-dressed mens. Moreover, the black-dressed mens knew how lethal his weapons were, so they moved erratically to avoid being honed on by his gun and avoided his Netherite Sword as though it was a plague.
But even with that, he and Xavier only had managed to kill 19 of them before two minutes passed!
Herald felt angry and terrified. Seeing Marcel's calm faced while he killed his men and noticing that he had not been injured even once, his face distorted in rage.
Herald: What are you doing, fools!? Can you not take care of even one man and Golem!
The black-dressed men felt angry too. How could they know that his young man would be so troublesome?
Even when they found an opportunity to attack, the Golem would immediately crushed or slash them with that oversize sword. And even when they try to outrun the golem, they would realize that their movement had been predicted by Marcel and they jumped into a trap.
In fact, two of the men the two killed had died like that.
One of the B-rank black-dressed men gritted his teeth.
B-rank Men 1: Dammit! Zupor, use it!
The other B-rank nodded. Instantly, his knife was wrapped in flames. The flames grow in size quickly, turning into a raging dragon of fire.
Then, the black-dressed man jumped towards Marcel!
B-rank Men 2: Die!
The flames consumed everything in the men's path. Xavier turned and dashed, trying to stop the attack but was immediately interrupted by 8 other B-ranks.
Marcel, noticing the attack activates an energy barrier, blocking the weapon, but the flame-infused dagger burned the barrier, slowly making a hole on it.
Seeing that the energy barrier was about to break, the black-dressed man bellowed in delight.
B-rank Men 2: You are done for, boy!
He increased the mana in his dagger and put more strength in his arms.
Marcel looked at that scene with wrinkled brows. He could see the second <B–> rank preparing a follow-up attack behind him and his senses were picking up the faint killing intent he emitted.
Basically(Thoughts): Shit, It looks like I will have to use it then.
Marcel sighed and was about to activate {Monarch Indifference} again.
But suddenly, he was stunned.
Then, he smiled.
In the next instant, a shadow fell from the sky.
???: Die assholes!
The shadow roared in fury. The shadow held an enchanted bow and 3 arrows tip with TNTs.
The next second—
*Boom!*
The three tnt arrows struck the B-rank attacking the barrier!
The explosion shook the surroundings. A could of dust formed, blinding the people around, the one that tries to destroy the barrier stood up, survive those explosion. But before he could react, two diamond swords slashes him.
And the next instant, more screams sounded.
As the cloud of dust disappears, blood and gores were everywhere in the ground. When the dust cleared, a man with a mask alongside an armored Golem were beside Marcel. As for the B-rank, his body was unrecognizable.
Seeing Delirious again, his skill {Aura of Despair} activates at 16%. With his bloodthirst aura and the bodies around him, it gives an immense fear to the people around him.
Herald: D-Demon!
Herald stuttered. At the same time, the black-dressed men took a step back.
Delirious: Are you alright, Marcel? I didn't come too late, right?
Basically: Your timing was perfect. Well, unfortunately for you Delirious, I seen Xavier gets the most ki—... what the fuck?? Delirious, your arm!
Delirious: Hm? 0_0
Looking at his arm, he notice it was on thr ground.
Delirious: Huh, that's why I feel something off by the time I kill that other B-rank just a second ago.
Basically: So what are you exactly?
Delirious: Don't know. I felt tireless or don't feel pain. And sometimes the sun hurts me a bit.
Basically: Oh so your like an undead or something?
Delirious: Probably.
Marcel smiled at his friend, he somehow starting to get used to those fantasy stuff effecting his friends. Vanoss and Wildcat for example, they now become like animal humanoid beast.
The two friends chuckles before looking at Herald.
Basically: It looks like your plan is destined to fail.
Herald: Y-You… Your friend is an Undead!
Delirious: What? is it your first time seeing one? Or its something that society hates?
Delirious(Thoughts): For some reason, I feel I'm about to get discriminate if more people knew I was an undead.
Herald opened and closed his mouth repeatedly. But then, he started to laugh.
Herald: Hahahaha… Hahahahaha! Perfect, this is perfect! When the people in the city learn that you have an Undead with you, you will have nowhere to go! Bunch of ssholes, I want to see how you will escape this ti—... Ugh!
Suddenly, something stabbed his back.
Herald: Ugh... Cough cough... Wha...
Looking over his shoulder, he saw a silver-haired girl looking at him with an ice-cold look in her eyes.
(Author: I stabbed you 🙂)
Herald vomited a mouthful of blood and asked in a hoarse voice.
Herald: S-Skyler, why?
