Chapter 123: Holding The Rear, Me Against An Army
I appreciated her help to be honest, especially those healers. I could now focus without any pressure on the task on my hand, which was to crush the incoming enemies as fast as possible then head out to help Aria.
I was pretty sure she needed my help.
Just as I waited there, around thirty players came towards me, including the previous players who played with me at my impulsive attack from before. It seemed I left quite the impression inside them, which was something good.
Three more healers plus two swordsmen joined the team, so I created a small group for us. I talked in the new team chat organizing everything:
'I want you to follow my arrangements, the healers and magicians must be well and tightly secured. I depend on everyone here to do that, as for the rest I can handle it myself.'
A whisper appeared immediately between the players, which I generally heard part of it. they were surprised this was their mission and most of them doubted that.
Everyone here was a veteran, so they knew this place was the last line of defense against any incoming players. such a task couldn't be done by one player in their opinion, however the players who fought with me before reassured them.
Those players had complete faith and absolute trust in my ability to overcome any obstacle, no matter what. My flying spears were well known between the players here, as it began to become a legend.
So, the rest of the players decided to follow my orders, however some requested to aid me if I faced a dangerous situation. I didn't refuse such a kind gesture, which I was sure wasn't needed.
After I finished arranging my small team, the voices of the battle erupted suddenly from the far depth of this valley, echoing everywhere with a majestic rumble.
It had already started, and that meant it wouldn't be long before the ambushing players to appear here.
My assumptions came true, as in less than five minutes, another rumble came from the front, accompanied by escalating noises. The enemy players were coming towards here, and they were coming hot.
The area in front of this entrance was empty for around one kilometers with no tree at all, then the forest would appear to cover everything.
So I couldn't see anyone for nearly one minute, however I guessed their numbers. There were thousands coming towards here.
I sighed, when I pictured my small team to suddenly pump into all these players. Shin did a marvelous job staying alive and withdrawing with as many players as he could save.
If I was there, I might not pull the same feat he did. He deserved my respect and appreciation regarding this matter.
After a minute passed, the players began to appear out of this forest. Their numbers were big, as they covered a long stretch of land. I didn't care about their numbers, as I trusted my spear to kill them all.
As they exited the forest, they stopped momentarily to decide where to move. Few players stepped out towards the entrance, as they seemed to be their leaders.
I heard their voices coming from there, however I couldn't make out what they said. Just as they finished speaking, a mighty roar appeared from every player out there, including those inside the forest.
It seemed they said something to raise those players' morale, which made me chuckle. Come to me and I would crush the last ounce of courage you had, no matter what morale you gathered.
The war started simply with that, as all players ran in unison towards the entrance of this valley. They didn't seem to put me or my thirty players behind in their eyes, what a shame!
I decided to correct their mistake, so I didn't wait for them to get near me as I released my spear out after mumbling:
"Penta auxiliary skill.'
I knew I wouldn't benefit fully from this skill this round, however any addition was welcomed. My one hundred and seventy six spears moved like a tsunami, crossing the distance between me and those players in less than a moment.
And then the massacre began.
I didn't snap my fingers soon, as I waited for a couple of seconds and my spears disappeared inside the forest, with loud chaotic screams of pain echoing everywhere.
I snapped my fingers, and then threw my spears out again, adding five more shadows to my personal army. The spears moved like mad tigers towards the already stupefied players up front.
All players who met my spears died without exception.
Fear began to prevail, and the previously excited overconfident players were standing in their places without the courage to move a finger.
Fear controlled their thoughts and emotions, and suddenly they were faced with the indisputable truth they were nothing in front of my spears.
I snapped my fingers, and threw my spears out for the last time under my skill effect. I gained fifteen spear shadows in this skill, a small yet quite satisfying result.
My one hundred and eighty six spears moved towards another direction with many players crowded at it. This time I left my spears and travelled for nearly ten seconds, then I snapped my fingers again when I heard no more cries of help and pain coming from the forest.
They stopped in fear; however I didn't stop to deepen this fear inside their true souls.
I continued to send my spears out, killing as many players as I could, then snapped my fingers to bring these spears back to me.
It was a crazy tactic, yet effective.
"Meeting a fellow mystic art user in this desolate place is a rare occurrence. Aren't you ashamed of bullying those weak players?"
Suddenly this strong voice came from the ranks of the players up ahead, with the emergence of a player walking carelessly like he was walking in a park for sightseeing.
He was tall, handsome, in his mid twentieth player, with two long swords in his hands. He was a swordsman, with two swords not one, which was a first. He was a mystic art player, just like myself, and this was the second time meeting someone like me.
