New Life Online 186 Absorbing The Darkness

The area was devastated. After that attack, I don't feel any presence of life in that place.

"SWOOOOOOOOs.h.!.+" Then I felt a powerful spell created nearby. It was Maximus spell and he managed to save Maisie! This old man really is full of surprises.

"Hey, girl! I hope you don't do that again. It was so careless. You could have died without my help." Maximus seems exhausted.

"..." Then she just stared at him like she's angry...

"I just saved your life. I think that's not how to say thank you at all..." Maximus complained.

"..." Her stare became more intense... I don't think she appreciates the help.

"Ok fine. Just stop staring at me like that. That's my last spell for the day. I can't help you guys any further." It looks like he's useless now. Oh jeez. I can imagine the mana consumption of such spells he used.

Then after that, she stood up but she's not doing great either. She's bleeding pretty hard from that last attack. She needs immediate healing.

I checked our situation. It looks like our archers stopped firing arrows. They've run out of ammo. Spellcasters are also not doing great with their spells either. Some of our forces already died from the all-out attacks of undying Drakes and Lamia archers. Warriors and defenders are trying their best to hold the gate but a lot of enemy forces already pa.s.sed through the gate and a.s.sa.s.sins are doing their best to kill all of them.

"Sir! Raven's a.s.sa.s.sins are slaughtering our supports from behind! We're too focused on the West gate that we didn't see them coming." One of the scouts reported to Maximus.

"What?! I told you to send our best a.s.sa.s.sins right?!" He said really depressed.

"Yes sir but they lost. Scy's a.s.sa.s.sins are protecting the civilians and they are thousands of them, sir. Also, Scythus fought with Siren who unlocked the final form of her monster soul but they managed to defeat her with the help of the Dragon Slayer girl sir." He reported. What?! Final form, but as long as they defeated her then I guess that's a good job. She can't just use that transformation again because the lower her level is, the harder to use the final form again.

"Send our remaining forces to protect the supports right now!" He ordered.

"We don't have enough forces to help them, sir. A lot of our people fled the city because of the effect of the darkness. Warden blocks the attacks of Drakes alone and Siegriel alone tries to defend the supports, sir. If we send people there, monsters will be able to invade the city, sir!" Oh man. This is not looking great. Scy, get back here as fast as you can!

"That backstabber girl! If we get through this, that girl will pay for what she's done!"

"SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+" Without saying anything, as usual, Maisie rushed to the support area to help her brother.

*Leion's POV*

I felt my idol's aura from the East Gate and a powerful malicious aura with him earlier but it's gone now. I guess he defeated her now. Sis was awesome earlier but darn, she doesn't listen at all. Thank G.o.d she was saved by that old guy.

*CLAAAAAAANG!* Oh darn! Can they just leave me alone?! Undead and monsters keep on pus.h.i.+ng us back! These guys are way too freaking annoying!

*BAAAAAAAAM!* Uggghhhh! Hot darn! One of the undead landed a hit on me! You evil thing! I'm going to slice you up like Idol would do!

"MOON BLADES!" *SWOOOOSH SWOSWOSWOOOOs.h.!.+* I slashed monsters around me with my fast blades. But they just keep on coming back!

*JUMMMP* Monsters leaped on me at the same time! There's no way I can attack or block all of them at the same time without using too much mana.

*BAAAAAAAM BABABAAAAAM!* With one sweep, Elle's golem knocked them back like they were nothing! I guess pus.h.i.+ng them away would be a good idea too but I don't have the force to do so.

"Thanks, Elle. That golem is really handy." I told her and she just smiled.

"Are you talking to me?" A bald bulky guy said. Oh! It's Handy, the leader of the Green Leaf Village!

*BAAAAAAAAAAM!* He smashed the undead away with one swing of his giant hammer. This guy is powerful too.

"h.e.l.lo there, Handyman! You're looking great Sir!" I said to him and he does seem to have fun.

"You're looking great too. I guess p.u.b.erty is. .h.i.tting you really well." I don't think that's good to hear from a guy. I would probably love to hear if a girl said that to me and not a bulky old bald guy.

"Hey, Leion! You should help your brother and sister in the support area. They are being chop-chopped by those Raven freaks!" It's Petula, seems like she's useless because she can't summon any demons around. I need to help them!

"Hey Elle, I'll leave the rest to you. Make sure no evil beings enter inside!" I said and she just nodded.

"These guys are persistent playing dirty! BASILISK'S CUTLa.s.s!" As I arrived at the place, there are a lot of corpses lying around. It looks like they were killed by the Ravens. Those corpses haven't turned into undead yet for some reason.

I saw a familiar face from our guild and she's crying...

"Hey, Uri! What's wrong?!" I worriedly asked.

As she turned around, she's holding Rera. I was too late... Darn it!

*SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+ BAAAAAAAAAAM!* Sis, this time, slaughters the Ravens.

"We have to go Uri. There are too many of them. We need to go to the spellcasters and archers place. This place isn't safe anymore." I also saw a girl with fire affinity and an unconscious girl. That girl protected us from darkness earlier but she couldn't hold it any longer.

"But we can't just leave her here." She replied.

"Don't worry. We'll see her later ok? Go now." I ordered.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I still have to make them pay for what they've done. I promise all of them will bleed to death." Now, it's time to show you when you mess up with the Beheaders!

*A flashback earlier while Scy's guild is marching towards the City of Order of Light*

"Hey, guys. It's been days now after our guild was created but we haven't named our guild yet. So while we're still all together and going to the city of Order of Light, I came up with one, well technically two names." Scy said. Well, that's good.

"Our guild's name will be Life Guild. Yes, it doesn't sound flashy at all but it literally means all living people or creatures are welcome to come to our guild and most of us here are having a new life together so I think that's just it. This is our name when we're at peace." He explained. Simple name but meaningful. I like it, idol.

"BUT!" Hot darn! That surprised me!

"But... if they threaten our guild, we won't be standing doing nothing. That's when our guild's name changes. It will be Beheader's Guild." Ohhhh! Sounds awesome idol!

*Current time*

Yup! Time to take revenge!

"AMAROQ'S WRATH! SECOND FORM!" My armor changed into a lighter version. Amaroq's second form improves my overall crowd control abilities but has less defensive improvements than the first form but it would really do well when dealing with a larger number of opponents.

*SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+* I rushed in the middle of the fight. I need to be in a good position to use this.

"Hot darn! Get ready! AMAROQ'S PRIMAL GRAVITY!" I used my spell that could pull enemies around me to me but this time, the effect is much greater. The range is wider so it can affect a lot of enemy forces.

"Pulling us is not a good idea. It's easier for us to kill you right now little boy! Kill him!" One of the a.s.sa.s.sins said but that's what you thought...

"AMAROQ'S MARKINGS!" I created marks on their bodies. Yes, mostly on their necks...

"AMAROQ'S BLOOD MOON! BEHEADER!" In just one move...

"GWAAAAAAH ACCCCCCK!" It's now raining heads from the fallen a.s.sa.s.sins. The place is covered in blood spurted from their necks. Hot darn! I love the blood moon!

"Hey bro. You look so evil. We're the good guys here you know." My big brother is taking a break because he really is quite exhausted. Sis... is still killing the remaining Ravens... It's like she's really enjoying it.

"I think you should tell that to Sis. She's... more evil than me."

After a couple of minutes, my idol is finally here.

"Hey Leion, it looks like you guys have taken care of the Raven fellas. What about the West Gate?" Scy asked.

"We're losing the West Gate. A lot of monsters and undead have entered the city but they were already killed by the a.s.sa.s.sins. The good thing is our dead allies and the monsters and undead that entered the city haven't revived again like the others outside. There must be some kind of reason." I reported. He looks awesome, as usual.

"That's good to hear. Maybe there's hope after all. It's almost Lili's turn but I don't know where she is right now." As long as you're here, we all have hope.

Suddenly, we all felt a tremendous aura from somewhere. It's familiar but we're not feeling well at all! It's like almost same as the Frozen King's aura but lesser yet enough to make you fear and put a chill in our spines!

"SUCCUBUS' DARKNESS DEVOURER!" What?! It's Lili and she's on top of the tallest tower of Order of Light City! She's using different monster soul this time, and it's unusually dark too! She cast a spell that slowly sucks the darkness around that covers the city!

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?! HOW CAN SOMEONE ABSORB MY POWER!" Even the frozen King is even having fear of her power. The power to absorb the darkness.
