Ivonna is tanking dozens of monsters while Leo is preparing his spells. Emma and William are preventing the other monsters from approaching Ivonna. Michael, Emma, Chelsea, and Hans are covering Leo from behind while Grisell is buffing everyone. They're aggroing all the monsters away from Shazjae so the other team can focus on doing their job.
Ivonna looks at Leo.
"I'm ready whenever, Leo."
Leo is still casting another spell.
"Give me a second, Ivonna. I need one more spell."
A big magic circle appears around Ivonna and the monsters. Leo then looks at the others.
"Guys, I'm ready to release my spell. Bring all of them to Ivonna!"
William and Emma are running towards Ivonna while the others are carefully luring the monsters so the monsters don't change their target to Leo who's near them. After they all are near Ivonna, Ivonna uses [Macedonian Phalanxes] when everyone is in range of her skill. Hundreds of monsters are stacking up and surrounding them while trying to destroy her Ion Shields.
"Now, Leo!"
Everyone is covering their ears with their hands, except for Francesca. She plugs her ears with some kind of cloth and then she uses her hands to cover Ivonna's ears, then everyone is closing their eyes. A cloud is forming on top of them and then dozens of thick bolts of lightning are striking the ground where the monsters are at. The damage is not that high, but it strikes the monsters rapidly that all of them are now dead.
Everyone is opening their eyes slowly and sighs with relief. Francesca unplugs the cloth in her ears.
"Sh*t, Leo. I hate and love that spell at the same time because of how effective that spell is. Every time you used that skill it always gives me a goosebump."
Grisell is chewing her snacks while giggling at them.
"I always love that spell because it makes your hair goes brrrr... It's fun to watch."
Emma and William have no idea what's Grisell are talking about and then they look at each other and immediately burst out laughing. Everyone's hair is going all the way up because of the effect of the spell. Ivonna and the others are looking at them both and chuckling at their reaction.
Ivonna looks around while fixing her hair.
"This area is clear, right? Our job here is done, let's move to the other side and help everyone."
Everyone nods and then runs to the south part of the battlefield.
As soon as they reach the south part of the battlefield, everyone just finished the last horde of monsters. It's all thanks to Aspen and the factionless players. Knowing that there are so many good players that they don't know from the Neutrality Clan members, making them think what would happen if those players entered the skirmish event back then, They might have won against them or the Supremacist Clan without a doubt.
Ivonna and the others are approaching Aspen. Ivonna nods and slightly smiles at him.
"You helped us a lot. Thank you for that."
Aspen shakes his head.
"It's nothing. We are doing this for ourselves anyway."
Ivonna scoffs and smiles at him. Aspen then looks at Shazjae.
"I think there are no more monsters around here. The rest of them are inside the tunnel or outside the Maryoca Kingdom. The other players from factionless players are guarding the Eynhildr Kingdom and the Yureon Kingdom. They said there are so many of them in the Yureon Kingdom that the situation over there is getting worse. But thankfully, they can respawn immediately there when they died. So it's still under control."
Ivonna nods with understanding.
"I'm sorry that you all have to handle the Yureon Kingdom that should be our responsibility, but Sigryd is here with his team, and thanks to them being here, they can lure Shazjae and we can freely defeat the monsters."
Aspen is smiling and shaking his head.
"It's not a problem at all. As I said, we are doing this for ourselves. We all shared the same responsibility here."
Ivonna is humming with understanding.
"All the other Kingdoms are under control except for the Yureon Kingdom. We can't go there because it's too far from here, and we can't leave this place because we need to keep luring Shazjae for the next 5 days."
Francesca nods.
"We can ask Trevor to handle the Yureon Kingdom. He's on his way over there now though. By the way, why it takes him so long to come back?"
Ivonna shrugs and shakes her head.
"I don't know, but I think the reason why it takes him a while to get back here is that he's bringing the Saintess with him, remember? We don't know if the Saintess is strong enough to walk here without resting like us players. So, the worst-case scenario is he's going to be here in two days, more or less."
Ivonna then looks at Francesca and continues.
"But that's not a big problem. As long as we keep doing this without making a single mistake, two days is very short. I hope that the Saintess can help us with this. There must be a reason why Trevor is bringing the Saintess here."
Francesca is nodding while sighing.
"Well, you're not wrong about that."
Ivonna looks at Shazjae.
"Two days... We need two days."
(2 Days later.)
(At the Yureon Kingdom.)
Aria is buffing me with all the skills she has. I don't have to worry about my fatigue and I don't have to use any skill since I'm already one-hitting the monsters with these buffs. To be honest, her buffs are pretty overpowered because all of those skills she's using are the new skills that she gained from becoming the Saintess.
Aria approaches me and looks at me.
"Wow, Mister Trevor. You are very strong! The general need a whole squad to handle a horde of monsters while you and Azrael alone can handle hundreds of them. Without you here, I don't what will happen to these people. Thank you."
I shake my head and smile.
"It's nothing, Saintess. Everyone is doing their best, so you should compliment everyone and not just me."
Aria nods.
"You are right. Everyone here is risking their lives to protect the people who can't fight. I wish I can be useful like the others."
I raise my eyebrows.
"What are you talking about, Saintess? Your presence here is enough to make everyone wants to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I know it sounds bad, but that's the truth. Seeing you here with us is giving us the courage and of course, you're supporting us with the amazing spells you have."
Aria is raising her eyebrows.
"Do you think so? If that is the case, then I will continue supporting everyone with everything I got."
I smile and nod, but then we hear a very loud roar coming from behind us. Everyone is frozen when they hear the roar and their legs start trembling in fear. A notification appears in front of me.
[Shazjae is furious! All of his armies are dead!]
[Shazjae is ready to slaughter everything it sees!]
[Shazjae is going rampage!]
I look back and see Shazjae lifts his head and arm, then Shazjae looks down and the ground suddenly trembling furiously that all the building around me are crumbling.
I click my tongue and cover my face.
"What are you guys thinking! I told you to not kill all of his armies!"
I sigh and then look at the Saintess.
"Saintess Aria. Change of plan. You stay here and stay put. I'm going to the Maryoca Kingdom and save all my friends. I want you to find somewhere safe and bring as many people as you can and hide. Right now, every man is for himself. "
Aria is looking at me with worries.
"Are you going to be okay, Mister Trevor?"
I nod confidently.
"Of course. I promise you and Betelgeuse as my witness that I will be back for you."
[Affinity towards Trevor increased by 20%]
[Aria Skardine (33%)]
Aria nods while frowning.
"Mister Trevor. May the Betelgeuse bless you."
I nod.
"May the Betelgeuse bless you too, Saintess. I'm off!"
Aria nods and waves at me and then put her hand on her chest then she clenches her fist while looking at me leaving.
(At the Maryoca Kingdom.)
Everyone is covering their ears, some are passed out because of the loud roar that startled them. When Shazjae is done roaring, everyone is removing their hands from their ears. Ivonna is looking at everyone and then looks up. Shazjae's eyes are glowing red and it looks around and then starts swinging its tail.
Ivonna looks at the others and screams.
"RUN! SAVE YOURSELF!"
Francesca is pointing at Ivonna with her mouth and eyes wide open.
"IVONNA WATCH OUT, BEHIND YOU!"
Ivonna looks back and Shazjae's tail is above her and then it whips his tail right towards Ivonna. The ground around Shazjae is crumbling and everyone falls to the underground.
