[Leveled up!]
[Congratulations! You have reached level 34!]
STAB! SLASH!
Aurora plunged the sword to the ground and took a deep breath because of exertion.
She was excessively exhausted, and if it weren't for Lyda's blessing's first benefit, she would have already collapsed.
'I am already level 36. But… there are still a lot of monsters to beat…'
Aurora looked at the titans, who seemed to be the strongest of all.
"If I end them, all the small monsters might retreat in fear…" Aurora muttered. "But I am not going there."
Aurora decided not to interfere with the titans unless they attacked the others first.
When Aurora glanced around, she saw the Risen Warrior's guild members fighting alongside her. She was so immersed in fighting that she didn't realize they had joined to help the others.
"If they are here, then it means—!" Aurora glanced around with a cheerful smile on her face, hoping she would see Zach fighting somewhere, but she was met with disappointment.
"He is not here…"
Suddenly, a loud, high-pitched noise rang from the sky and spread across the entire realm.
There wasn't a single-player or NPC who did hear it.
It was so loud that the players and NPCs were forced to cover their ears. But those, who were in the fight, couldn't do it, so they had no choice but to endure the pain and the feeling of getting their ears ruptured.
Soon after that noise, demons started jumping down from hell.
It was the beginning of the second wave.
Just when the mood of the war was getting lighter after Aurora's unimaginable feat and the help of the guild members, the second wave started and turned the tide.
The demons in the second wave were much stronger than the first one. They were bigger in size, their skins were thicker, faster, and they had weapons.
In the first wave, it was easy for everyone to defeat the monsters because they didn't have anything to block the sword attacks. But now, everything had changed.
Aurora caught her breath and plucked her sword out from the ground.
"Time to use the other skills before it's too late…"
She dashed at the demons and kept swinging her sword. Of course, they blocked and tried to attack Aurora, but she was too fast for them.
Aurora increased her speed to the maximum to the point where she was almost invisible by the naked eyes.
Then, Aurora activated Lyda Strike and swung her sword over one thousand times in one second.
Before Aurora's stats had reset, she could strike ten times in one second. But now that her AGILITY had increased by 100 times, she could strike over a thousand times.
Using Lyda strike skill, one strike dealt 100,000 HP damage, and Aurora struck over one thousand times.
All the demons who had jumped down in the second wave, and the monsters and demons who were already there, were chopped into tiny pieces by Aurora's attack.
She even cleaved the legs of the titans, but couldn't kill them entirely as her strikes were aimed at the monsters and demons on the ground.
The impact of her strike traveled miles, and the sharp wind attacks produced by it cleaved everything on its way—
There were over 20,000 monsters alone in the forest, which Aurora killed unknowingly.
Luckily, there were no players and NPCs on the way.
Within one second, Aurora had killed over 500,000 monsters and demons. Now, there were no demons left alive on the ground, but there were still many in the air.
[Leveled up!]
[Congratulations! You have reached level 43!]
That day, Aurora gained the title of 'Angel of Annihilation' among the players.
Aurora's vision turned red as she dropped to her knees. But she used her sword as support and managed not to fall flat.
"Aurora!" Misha rushed over to Aurora and helped her stand up.
"You should rest!" Misha uttered with an anxious look on her face.
"There are still many monsters and demons left in the sky…"
"Don't worry about them. We will—"
Another noise rang in the sky, but it was a familiar sound.
SHOOT! SHOOT!
The monsters and demons' bodies fell to the ground with every shot.
Everyone looked up to see what was shooting the monsters, and they saw a flying carrier descending on the ground.
"That's…" Misha recognized it because it had the 'Risen warrior' guild symbol on it.
The flying aircraft carrier was about half the size of the flying guild castle.
SHOOT! SHOOT!
It was filled with deadly ranged weapons shooting bullets and magic attacks.
There were rangers, gunslingers, mages, and warlocks who were powering up the weapons of the aircraft carrier and shooting down the flying demons and monsters.
Then a few more small-sized aircraft carriers detached from the big carrier and descended to the ground.
One carrier stopped near Aurora, Misha, and Kayden, as the voice followed, "You guys looked like a baked potato."
"That voice… Shay?!" Kayden exclaimed.
Shay showed himself to Kayden and Misha as he uttered, "This is too much for a wedding party, don't you think?"
"What are you doing here?!" Kayden asked with a surprised look on his face.
"I came here to help, duh!" he beckoned them all and said, "Come on. Hope on."
"But what about the other players?" Misha asked.
"Don't worry about them. More carriers are on their way. I am going to get every one of you out of here," Shay stated with a forced smile on his face.
Misha and Kayden carried Aurora to the carrier. And a few other players who were exhausted also got on it.
"Wait… the NPCs…." Aurora managed to mutter.
"Huh? They are just NPCs, so they will respawn, right? Let them die," Shay responded with a confused look on his face. "Why worry about them?"
"No… they are.. real…"
Shay didn't doubt Aurora's words as he had no reason to. He knew that if she was Zach's lover, she would never lie, just as Zach never lied to his friends.
He nodded and said, "Alright. We will save them too."
