*RAWR*
Blood splattered everywhere as monsters fell to their demise one after the other at an extremely rapid pace. Flashes of explosions and silhouettes moving everywhere mixed with the invasion of the monsters turned the battlefield into a chaotic scene of destruction.
The shrieks of monsters filled the entire world and shook the entire forest. In a matter of a few minutes, the entire place was turned into a blood-soaked hell.
Arthur, Isla, Danny, Herculia, and Emmy fought with every single ounce of strength they had in their bodies. They killed every single monster that stepped beyond a certain line. After the arduous journey, they went through, the fruit of their hard work was finally starting to show off.
Their powers had reached a whole new level that was far beyond what they were capable of before. They became far more destructive and far more lethal. They had more experience fighting monsters and they could recover from the worst situations better.
Each one with their own strong points, was able to devastate the enemy lines in their own way.
“COME HERE BASTARDS!! I WILL SMASH YOU TO DEATH!” Blasting through a group of monsters with pure strength, Herculia laughed like a maniac. His body was fortified with layers of defense and strength buffs that made him a human tank.
His ability ‘Storming Rage’ was especially devastating due to its ability to negate 90% of physical damage for 20 seconds so he could rampage and destroy everything in his way without worrying about his health going down quickly from the overwhelming number of monsters.

At the same time, not that far away, Danny sliced through several monsters in a flash. His sword didn’t appear as if it moved at all the entire time. ‘Ghost Blade’ which was one of his main abilities allowed him to move his sword faster than the eye of his enemy could perceived which made it impossible for weaker enemies to dodge or deflect it.
“Haaaaah!!”
At the back line, Emmy was blasting the back lines of the monster army with massive-scale spells that reduced the pressure of the continuous swarm of enemies on her friends. Although she was killing many with each attack, her main goal was to simply stall the back lines so that her friend could deal with the monsters at hand.
The plan, while very simple and easy to break, was temporary and quick, fitting the urgency of the situation. After all, all they had to do was hold on for 5 minutes and then escape this place.
“Devourer Of Worlds.”
However, that level of strength when compared to Isla… Fell short. Where Isla was fighting, everything that could be seen was simply terrifying. The girl’s gravitational abilities rendered every monster into a flat piece of meat paste.
Her sword, imbued with that gravitational power, was like a devastating bomb that killed several monsters with each swing. The power of gravity was not only extremely special and rare, but also very potent against swarms of enemies. Coupled with Isla’s horrifying talent and the result was right in front of their eyes.
“Agh!” Arthur clenched his teeth as he felt the pain of a strong bite on his shoulder. Grabbing the monster by the head, he threw it forward, smashing into several other monsters before he froze all of them with a single frost flame ball.
‘Hah… Goddammit, did the 5 minutes not pass yet?’ Arthur cursed as he looked at the time in the corner of his eyes. Much to his displeasure, since the battle started… It had only been two and a half minutes.
The time was moving slowly… Way slower than Arthur would’ve wanted. The situation was on the surface, under control as no monster had yet to break through this human barrier. But, deep down, every single one of the players there knew that… It was only a facade.
With each passing second, they were forced to take a step back, reducing the distance between them and the house. The reality was, that the group was being overwhelmed. The thousands of monsters were indeed something they couldn’t simply fight for long.
Slowly, the damage they received started ramping up. The fight that was a breeze at first turned into a struggle, then a full-blown battle for survival.
None of them could hear their voices, nor the screams of their enemies. All they could hear was the echo of the battle. They couldn’t feel the pain of the bites or the claws, but they felt the sweat and blood dripping down their bodies.
It was mere minutes, yet it felt like hell. Something not even their previous battle on Adula could reach. Something about this gave them way more despair. Especially, Arthur who could feel the relentless waves of monsters that kept coming toward him. It was like he was chipping down on a massive steel wall with a fork.
[Ding!]
[You have killed level 15 Rock Boar.]

[You have killed…]
[Ding!]
[You have…]
[Ding!]

[Ding!]
[You have gained +1 health.]
Notifications of each kill kept rolling down his mind, increasing his stats by one point every now and then. But, those notifications didn’t do much. He was getting stronger as the fight went on, but he wasn’t getting stronger, fast enough.
His health depleted to dangerous levels and he didn’t even have time to drink a potion or even look at the state of his health.
*BOOOM*
Blasting several monsters back with one sword slash, he launched several arrows everywhere, killing even more monsters around. Then, he kicked the monsters behind him, sending them flying back. At the same time, his arm grabbed the head of another enemy and smashed it into the ground before he leaped back.
‘Shit! I’m close to dying! I’m taking too much damage!’ Arthur panicked a little when he saw the state he had reached. He had been fighting like a maniac so he had forgotten that he wasn’t invincible.
But, in such a situation, what was he supposed to do? There was no way he could escape or retreat. He was trapped and the time was ticking slowly. The third minute passed and two more left. It loomed on him that this was perhaps the worst situation he could’ve been in.
‘Give me a break.’
*Swish*
‘Aren’t there enough bastards of you already?’
*Swish* *Swish*
‘Just die! All of you!’
*SWISH*
His arm went numb from swinging his sword relentlessly. He didn’t even notice that the cracks on his blade had grown in size considerably. The Sanguine Blade was struggling as much as he was.
“Arthur! Are you ok?” The only person who noticed the situation Arthur was in was Isla. She had seen him go even deeper into the enemy lines, attacking them from behind. ‘Why is he leaving his position? He will kill himself. That idiot.’
Clenching her teeth, Isla pushed the swarm of monsters around her and tried to move toward Arthur. She noticed the weird behavior Arthur was exuding. But, she was quickly stopped by the relentless creatures.
Isla herself wasn’t faring any better than Arthur. But, because she was still out of the swarm, she was still alive.
“Arthur!” She called for his name but he didn’t respond. All she could see were monsters being thrown everywhere as the battle reached a whole new level.
From afar, she could see Arthur, completely drowned in the blood of his enemies. With a shredded armor and a horrifying look on his face. She had never seen him in such a state before. He almost appeared like a devil… His eyes lacking any of the usual beautiful glints she sees in them.
She didn’t know why but that look… It sent a chill down her spine. Something was awfully wrong going on with Arthur.
“Hey, answer me!” As she fought, she tried to catch his attention. But, she couldn’t do it. Looking up at the time, there was a minute and a half left in the battle.
Meanwhile, Arthur was in his own world. He couldn’t hear nor see anything aside from the enemies he was killing. He didn’t even realize that he was acting completely off and that he was pushing himself.
His health was but a few ticks away from completely depleting. But… He was calm. Something in his head snapped, and then all the worry vanished.
‘This is actually… Pretty nice. I’m feeling a little cold. But, I’m still alive.’ His thoughts turned into something they should’ve not been.
