In the end, the reason the creature managed to escape was that everybody underestimated it.
In fact, when the creature manipulated the A-rank monsters to attack the black-dressed men the first time, its goal was never to escape. It knew that escaping under the watch of so many black-dressed men was nearly impossible.
No, its goal was to find the person holding the control stone. When it confirmed that the control stone was in the hands of the leader, it achieved its goal.
Then its next plan was the most logical part of all in its plan.
Wait.
Wait for an opportunity to kill him.
The leader of the black-dressed men knew that the creature was cunning, but he never expected it to be this cunning. Since the start, it had managed to control a creature without injecting its flesh and blood on it.
It was the Forest Dragon, the one that killed the leader.
That was the reason the control stone did not work on it.
That was the reason the Forest Dragon could burrow in the earth. It used magic to separate the earth and stones and move quickly.
In the end, the creature's plan was successful. Against all the odds, it managed to escape the black-dressed men's control.
Now, it was free.
Free to slaughter as much as it wanted.
*Screeeeeech!!!*
The cry of the creature reverberated in the city and was answered by hundreds of thousands of monsters. The bloodthirsty monsters bowed to its master and welcomed its freedom.
Then, the feast of flesh and blood started.
*Roar!!!*
Houses were destroyed, doors were knocked down, children were torn apart, and parents died defending their children. It was as though the monsters had turned berserk, killing even more savagely than before.
Screams of pain and fear filled the city streets. The adventurers and soldiers still defending the city watched how their comrades were slaughtered, falling under the jaws of ferocious beasts and dying with expressions of despair.
Enemy Demigod: Hey! You need to stop! We need to stop that creature first!
Marrow, the enemy demigod shouted to Samantha, but Samantha ignored him. She seemed not to care about the creature or the monsters killing the citizens.
Since the moment she learned that the mysterious demigod belonged to Returning Dusk and the one who killed her father centuries ago, it was as though nothing else mattered.
The black-dressed demigod clicked his tongue. 'Damn it, what is with this crazy bitch!' He then looked down at the city and his expression turned ugly.
In the current situation, his priority should be to recover the creature, however, doing so right now was the same as giving up his life to the Demigod fighting him.
Thus, he could only go for the next best option.
With a grunt, he coursed his mana through his body and released it with a blast towards Samantha!
Enemy Demigod: Die!
Samantha received the attack with a snort. Then, she responded with a sword slash.
But suddenly, she realized that the black-dressed demigod was already two-hundred meters away.
Samantha: Where do you think you are going!?!??!!?
Enemy Demigod: Crazy woman, I'm not fighting anymore! I need to report it to the Boss!
After saying that, the demigod rushed out of the city.
Behind him, Samantha did not hesitate to chase after him.
At the same time, Brian, Marcel, Delirious, Skyler(Still unconscious and being carried by Xavier), and the city lord were surrounded by monsters. Ten A-rank monsters were followed by hordes of weaker monsters that bared their fangs to them.
Monsters of all the ranks were attacking the city lord. E-rank monsters, D-rank monsters, C-ranks monsters, and B-ranks monsters attacked him nonstop. They disregarded their own allies and attacked crazily to the city lord without caring about their lives.
City Lord: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
The City Lord bellowed and released sword slashes after sword slashes killing hundreds of monsters even more, but his situation quickly worsened. Under the besiegement of hundreds of monsters and ten A-rank monsters lying in wait, his death was just a matter of time.
Our three main idiots were in the same situation. Bloodthirsty monsters charged towards them without regard for their lives. From birds to wolves, they attacked the group wildly.
The group fought them while escaping the encirclement, but the number of monsters was crazy. Even when they were going all out, slaughtering and killing the monsters that charged towards them, the situation was not looking good.
The reason was the A-rank monsters watching the group and waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Fortunately, Xavier had acted and beaten the A-ranks back with its Netherite sword when they tried to attack, but even so, the situation was critical.
Delirious: Guys we are so fucked right now if this continues!
Delirious looked at the monsters and shouted. Marcel's expression was grave too. Their current situation was similar to the one they faced in the forest of death a few days ago but much worse. Just the number of A-rank monsters was ten times higher!
Moreover, there was still the strange creature watching them. They somehow could feel that this creature was a lot more dangerous than all of the monsters here. Just the number of monsters it controlled was proof of its strength.
Delirious: Everyone! I said we need to hurry up or we will be fucked soon!
Everyone beside Delirious furrowed their brows. Currently, they have two options.
The first one was to activate their elytras and fly away. With the speed of using the fireworks and the Minecraft logic of carrying Xavier, they could easily leave the city and escape.
However, it meant leaving countless innocent people to die.
The second option was to do something or kill monsters as much as possible. But killing thousands of monsters around them will drain their resources and stamina. Which in the end of the day they will not last long.
In the end, they seem to have any choice left.
Meanwhile, Brian desperately tries to think of a plan, but unfortunately he can't while fighting against a horde of monsters.
Like God has finally spoken to him, a voice suddenly told him.
???: Brian... use the force...
...use the force, Brian...
Terroriser: Wait, this isn't Star Wars.
???: I mean use the Skill that Mr. Almighty Vanoss gave you.
Delirious: Uh guys, am I the only one who hears that?
Basically: Yup, I heard someone as well.
Terroriser: Wait a minute.
Terroriser/Basically/Delirious: ( °_°)
Looking up, they all saw a humanoid bird flying around the sky with an Elytra on him.
And they obviously knew who it was.
Vanoss: Oh, boy 😯
Terroriser: Really, Evan? 😑
Basically: Evan?
Delirious: Hey Vanoss! How long have you been up there!
Vanoss: 2 minutes 🙂
Terroriser: You've been there for 2 minutes straight and ain't helping!?
Vanoss: It kinda looks like you're not in a rough situation, so you might get the hang of it.
Basically: Gosh, you're annoying as always.
Delirious: Wait, where are the others?
Vanoss: They are actually here already.
Before everyone could react, a large explosion erupted in the middle of the monster waves.
In a slow motion view, the shockwave explosion slowly launched all of the weak monsters until suddenly two figures landed in the scorching grounds.
🎵About time for anyone telling you off for all your deeds🎵
Back to the slow motion view, one of the monsters which survives the explosion rushes straight towards the two but Wildcat simply bitch slaps the creature before fist pumps Nogla.
🎵No sign the roaring thunder stopped in cold to read...
...NO TIME!🎵
Nogla immediately kicks a dead body of a cat monster in the air by the time the lyrics shouts No Time.
🎵Get mine and make no excuses waste of precious breath...
...NO TIME!🎵
Meanwhile a random adventurer sees the two duos with a confused look on his face before getting his head bitten off by a monster when the lyrics reach No Time.
🎵The sun shines on everyone, everyone.. love yourself to death🎵
At the end of the part of the music, Tyler and Nogla at the same time wore a pair of sunglasses and activated their fireworks to launch!
🎵So you gotta fire up!
...You gotta let go!
...you'll never be loved till you've made your own...
...you gotta face up!
...you gotta get yours!
...you never know the top till you get too low!!🎵
The scene shifts first to Wildcat who flew up high, at the same time activating his skill.
{Gates of Babylon}
Without wasting time, he blasts all of the weapon towards the monster horde at Hypersonic speed, all of the magical weapons pierce thousands of monsters, killing hundreds.
As for one A-rank monster gets plugged by 50 magical weapons, killing it as the glow of its eyes begins to fade.
🎵A son of a... stepfather...
...a son of a..
..I'M SO SORRY!!
...A son of a... stepfather...
...a son of a..
At Nogla's scene, he keeps bashing every monster he sees with an enchanted Diamond Hoe before stabs it at the monster Dog right in the eye.
Nogla/Music Lyrics: I'M SO SORRY!!!!/🎵I'M SO SORRY!!!!🎵
Back to our other three idiots, or four that count for our bird friends Vanoss.
Right now, they were pretty much surprised about the two's performance. Especially Wildcat who has such an interesting skill he was using.
But they were not the only ones who were surprised by this, including the City Lord and anyone around them who witnessed the scene.
Basically: Holy shit, they look so sick.
Vanoss: I know. Found the skills from that old mansion me and Tyler found. I also gave one to each of you guys.
Basically: Oh so that's why I have that skill.
2 minutes had passed, nearly every monster in the surroundings were killed except for a few surviving ones and seven A-rank monsters who were planning for their next attack.
Wildcat: DAMN! I am so hyped up!! I never felt so alive in my entire life!!
Nogla: That was kinda fun! 😃
Wildcat: You said it.
Vanoss: Alright! The gang's back together.
Basically: Well, except for Moo.
Wildcat: Oh when you mention him, I wondered where he.
Basically: Right. He just got teleported somewhere outside of the city.
Vanoss: Oh that, we already found him just not that too long ago.
Basically: Wait, he is fine?
Wildcat: Nah, I didn't call that fine when he became Rambo.
*Screeeech!!!*
Before they could talk more, a loud screech sounded to their left. They all turn their heads and see the same black creature, alongside thousands of monsters behind it.
Delirious: Oh damn, it's that 10 pound of shit again!
Terroriser: And it brought more guys with me.
Nogla: Alright! More monsters to kill!
Basically: Guys, I don't think that creature will be very simple...
Nogla: Nah, how could a little creature get—
*Bam!*
Before they notice, 8 more A-rank monsters appear beside the creature and hundreds more are coming, starting to surround them once again.
Delirious: These hordes are just endless!!
Bak to the black creature, the creature jumps towards a large statue of a legendary Adventurer, suddenly its tentacles transform into Pedipalps as it stands on the top looking at the group.
Looking at Team 6, they seem pretty weak, just merely <C> ranks, but its instincts tolds it to never underestimate them.
But that doesn't mean it will face them directly.
With a loud screech, 8 A-rank monsters step forward towards the group and roars.
While the A-ranks were about to rush and kill Team 6, all of the sudden it noticed a large object headed towards it, before it could react, a large boulder crushed the creature, black liquid splattered everywhere around.
Noticing the sudden appearance of the boulder, the monsters try to find where it came from, but before they could notice, two large beasts rushed in a blur and slaughtered every monster.
The A-rank notices the slaughter behind them and immediately begins to attack the traitors.
Our six idiots notice the massacre, Marcel, Delirious, and Brian were surprised why two King Kongs killed their own.
Meanwhile, parts of the Black Creature's body began to reform, and it noticed the two beasts started attacking its men. With an angry growl, it screeches once again to control those two beasts.
But suddenly... it does nothing.
It tries to control the two gorilla monsters again but it still doesn't work.
Black Creature: ???
Back to the two beasts, while they kept killing hundreds of monsters around them, they started to notice they were surrounded by 8 A-rank monsters.
They roared trying to push them back but none of them did it.
At the same time, all of the A-rank beasts rushed towards the two King Kongs to kill them.
But before they did that...
Two A-rank monsters were killed by something so fast that they couldn't react in time.
By the time they notice the other danger, they get immediately attacked by the two King Kong beasts.
Brian, using his cybernetic eyes and looks at the fast creature and notices is a strange looking horse with purple cracks and crystals.
Before they all knew it, that creature that Brian saw appeared in front of them.
Moo: What's up guys!
Delirious/Basically: BROCK!
Delirious: I thought you were dead, man.
Terroriser: Well if he was, it would show us he died in our perspective.
Wildcat: True.
Vanoss: Hey, Moo, could you keep those animals of yours down a bit, I want to see the real fun.
Moo: Oh? What's the fun you were talking about?
Vanoss: 😈
Looking towards the Irish cyborg, Evan immediately told him.
Vanoss: Brian, use it.
Terroriser: Use what?
Vanoss: 😑 The—... the skill or whatever we talked about!
Terroriser: Alright then...
Putting up his settings, he began to find something, in the group's perspective he was just typing something in the air. 20 seconds have passed while two King Kong beasts fighting the monsters around, Brian finally found something he needed.
Terroriser(Thoughts): I hope it's not {Flight} mode again like last time.
Finally pressing the right button, he then activated his skill for the first time in this world.
{Armor of Zeldarein}
