Chapter 164: Cap 163:Battle against the wave of monsters part 1

Right now I’m with my group ready to face thousands of monsters along with all adventurers in the city of Valen. 

The monster wave is just minutes away from arriving here, all adventurers are prepared to fight, from what Diana told me, no adventurer can refuse to participate in the defense of a city during a monster wave. 

I have to say I’m scared, I’ve never participated in a battle on this scale before, and the way the adventurers are divided up can’t be called a battle formation, but I agree that leaving each group alone is best, if not disrupt the group’s teamwork. 

But none of that changes the fact that I’m seeing through Layla’s eyes thousands of monsters coming towards us, my first thought is to run from here, but I can’t leave my family and the house I’ve got for myself, so I just have to fight. 

“What are the chances of winning this battle, Diana?”  (I) 

“Around 65%, that’s just because this town is full of adventurers.”  (Diana) 

“Other cities would have difficulty defending themselves against a wave of monsters, but defending against two is something that only the capital of a mid-level Kingdom or a power like the Grimo Kingdom that is the biggest of all the kingdoms on the continent could face with such high chances of winning.”  (Diana) 

“The Elves could do that too, but it would be different as we have our own ways of doing things.”  (Sophia) 

“Do you all have the potions?”  (I) 

“Yes!”  (all) 

“Remember that you must come home well, so don’t take more chances than necessary.”  (I) 

Roar!  Rawww! 

Rawww!  Grrr-or! 

Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  Wow! 

“All in your positions, Expect attacks from the city wall!”  (I) 

The monsters were already so close that I could hear the sound of their roaring, not only that but the thumping sound that must be coming from the trees they must be breaking down here. 

“MAGIC GET READY!!!”  (Carlos) 

I look at the city wall and see glows of various colors appearing, each glow on this one must be some kind of magic circle being prepared. 

Roar!  Rawww! 

Rawww!  Grrr-or! 

When the monsters finally leave the forest the guild leader starts the attack. 

“MAGICERS OF THE FIRE ELEMENT AND THE WIND ELEMENT MAKE THE FIRST ATTACK!!!”  (Carlos) 

soon I see fireballs, fire spears, fire tornadoes, and fire arrows of all sizes flying towards the large number of monsters, at the moment it hits several explosions happen and at that moment comes to the attacks of wind spells that seem to strengthen further fire element attacks by spreading fire and increasing explosions. 

Boom!  Wow!  BOOMM!! 

BOOMMM!!! 

After this attack, I see many monsters dying by fire or killed by the explosions, but soon I see even more monsters coming out of the forest and passing through the fire, the fire attacks last a few seconds before stopping, so the Guild leader shouts more orders. 

“WATER AND ICE ELEMENTS WIZARDS, IN TURN, ATTACK!!!”  (Carlos) 

But once I see various types of water element magic attacks hitting the monsters, and scattering water all over the monsters, but it doesn’t seem to do as much damage as the fire element magic, that’s what I thought until the Ice magic hit the monsters with ice needles, ice spears, ice tornadoes, ice blades, and various other ice magic attacks, when ice attacks hit they started to freeze the wet monsters and freeze the terrain the monsters are passing through, this slowed down the monsters that were still coming from the forest. 

Roar!  Rawww! 

“EARTH ELEMENT WIZARDS, CRUSH THESE MONSTERS!!”  (Carlos) 

I see a shower of rocks of all sizes and shapes being thrown at monsters that are pierced by stone skewers that come from their feet, are crushed by giant rocks, or are trapped in holes that open up out of nowhere in front of him. 

“ARCHERS ATTACK!!!!”  (Carlos) 

A shower of arrows happens, between the arrows I see some glowing, I see others multiplying from the air, and various other amazing effects like becoming a big firebird or increasing speed and moving through the air as if it had a life of its own. 

Va-voom!  Va-voom!  Va-voom! 

Va-voom!  Va-voom! 

Va-voom! 

I would never expect this kind of attack coming from a bow and arrow, when the arrows hit the monsters I see some monsters freezing, others catching fire, others being electrocuted and others being trapped by branches and vines that grew from the arrows. 

“NOW IT’S YOU WHO ARE ON THE GROUND, BE READY AND IN ATTACK POSITION, NOW!!!!!”  (Carlos) 

“Ooooooo!!!! (All) 

Looks like now it’s our turn to attack, I pull a short sword from its scabbard and a dagger, it’s time for me to figure out what I can do without holding back. 

“Get ready!”  (I) 

The monsters are not advancing as fast as before due to the dead monster bodies on the way, also due to the rock and ice obstacles that you have to pass. 

Not only that, but the magic and arrow attacks haven’t stopped yet, they’re still continuing far away from where we are, that’s keeping at least half of the monsters in the kill zone from the top of the wall attacks, but from what I’ve seen are fewer attacks and weaker, must be conserving energy to continue this way. 

“Diana, you and I are going to attack first, let’s go.”  (I) 

As the monsters approached I could see thirty of them coming towards my team, warning Diana that she and I are going to attack first. 

I use my Intimidate ability along with my two Aura abilities, I do this to make the monsters stop for a moment, long enough for me to release a fireball and for Diana to attack. 

“< Fireball >” (i) 

After the fireball has hit killing four snakes I advance slightly behind Diana. 

Diana attacks with two swords cutting six snakes in a few seconds, at that moment I arrive and throw myself in the middle of the snakes spinning cutting everything in the way, at the moment I’m going to be attacked I use my Auras and intimidate again to paralyze the snakes for me and Diana attack again and kill all snakes. 

Ding!  Ding! 

I don’t have time to see notifications right now, as I confirm that we’ve killed these monsters I look around and see all the adventurers fighting different numbers of monsters, I look back and see a group of fifteen snakes trapped in chains of light being punched by Sophia and Leo that’s in his Leo appearance. 

“Fifty more are coming!”  (Layla) 

Without noticing, more monsters approached before I could say anything to my group. 

“(Layla, pin them to the ground with your ice.)” (I) 

“< Lower Ice Field >” (Layla) 

I run towards the group of snakes alone as I mentally communicate with Layla, when I’m close enough I throw three of the four daggers I carry at the heads of three snakes, then take advantage of that opening to cut off a snake’s head with my dagger and defend from the thorns of another snake with my sword, at this point I use Intimidation to create an opening and use a simple water spell that scatters water around then activate the ability [ Corrosion: 6 ] causing this water-filled with my mana to turn like acid, the snakes around me started to thrash while their lower parts of the body are still stuck to the ice that starts to melt, I take advantage of their moment of pain to kill everyone while they still aren’t paying attention to me. 

Ding!  Ding! 

I look around and see Ibuki and Irius fighting a group of Sword Serpents with Irina’s help, I could also see Kira and Byakko moving at incredible speed among a group of venomous snakes my size, wherever she passes a spurt of blood follows. 

I could also see Sophia, Diana, and Leo over the bodies of dozens of snakes preparing to face an approaching ten-foot-tall snake. 

“Damn it!”  (I) 

I run towards them as I contact Layla in my mind. 

“(Layla use her ice needles in the eyes of that big Serpent now.)” (I) 

“(I’ll try something stronger.)” (Layla) 

As I run, I see Layla fly in front of me, then stop by the Great Serpent. 

“< Ice Spears >” (Layla) 

Layla forms two ice spears and hits the Great Serpent in the eyes leaving her blind, at this point I reach the trio and give orders to Leo. 

“Leo throw me at that big Serpent’s head with all his might!”  (I) 

“…” (Leo) 

“Now!”  (I) 

Leo is confused for a moment but obeys me, he catches me and then throws me at the head of the Serpent who is still screaming, I use Leo’s launch momentum to increase the strength of my attack and spin in the air to drive my sword into the head of the snake which then stops screaming and falls to the ground. 

Ding!  Ding! 

“Master, don’t try too hard, we could take care of this Snake.”  (Diana) 

“We have to finish our fights as soon as possible, look around even as we talk two more groups of Serpents are heading our way.”  (I) 

“Don’t worry Diana, the master’s strategy was very good now, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.”  (Sophia) 

“There are more snakes coming!”  (Leo) 

“Sophia and I are going to that group, Leo and Diana are going to the other one.”  (I) 

“Right!”  (Leo/Diana/Sophia)
