Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 210 - 209- Before The Second Wave

SLASH! SLASH!

Kayden slew the monsters in front of him.

"There is no end to them," he muttered.

He glanced around to look for Misha and saw her fighting three monsters at once.

\'I will help her out!\'

Kayden hastily walked to Misha to help her, but suddenly, a mid-level monster dashed at Misha from the other side.

"Misha!" he yelled Misha\'s name to warn her. But Misha was so focused on fighting the three monsters in front of her that she didn\'t respond to Kayden\'s yell.

Kayden rushed to Misha as fast as he could, but the monster was faster.

"Misha!" he yelled again as the monster was a few meters away from her.

The monster jumped in the air and raised its fist to crush Misha, but suddenly, the monster\'s body was cleaved into pieces as it fell to the ground near Misha.

"...!"

Kayden and Misha killed the three monsters and glanced around to see what caused the monster to die, and they saw Aurora fighting the high demons a few meters away from her.

Aurora\'s strikes and hand movements were so fast that they produced a wind attack that cleaved the monster.

Misha tried to help Aurora, but Kayden placed his hand on her shoulder and shook his head.

"What? We can\'t just let them fight alone?! What if something happens to her?!" Misha whispered violently.

"That\'s not it…" Kayden let out a weary sigh and took a deep breath before saying, "We have been fighting for hours now, and we are exhausted. We can barely defeat the mid-level monster, so if we go help her to fight the high-level monsters and demons, then instead of helping her, we would just be getting in her way."

"But still… we have to back her up somehow…"

"Don\'t worry about it. We are here," a voice said from a distance.

Kayden and Misha looked at the voice to see \'Risen Warriors\' guild members at a distance.

"You are…" Misha and Kayden recognized a few of their classmates among the group.

"You guys….!" Kayden and Misha glanced around everywhere to find Zach.

"Zach!" Misha yelled.

"He is not here…" another classmate replied.

"Why not?"

"Well… things happened, and around 900 guild members retreated after the 75th floor," one player replied. "When we got out of the dungeon, we saw monsters running around in the open forest near the dungeon. Then.. we gazed at this capital and saw…."

The player pointed his gaze at the monsters and titans, destructions, and the dead bodies of players and NPCs, and in the end, he looked up at the sky to see the opening to hell.

"Some of our guild members were afraid, and they didn\'t want to get involved in this. So 200 of them retreated. The rest came here to help, but it took us hours to get here. We were fighting with the monsters on our way and taking small breaks, but I guess we were too late…"

"Did the other players use the portal to retreat? Why are you guys here?" another classmate asked.

"They destroyed the portal, too," Kayden replied.

"Oh…"

"How many players are stuck here?" a high-level player, who was the leader of the group, asked.

"I don\'t know. The monsters would have spread in the entire realm by now. But I think there are around 500 players still stuck in this capital. I don\'t know about the rest of the realms," Kayden replied in a calm voice.

"Well, we can\'t save them all if we can\'t save ourselves in the first place." The player opened his menu and said, "I will report this to the guild master and ask him if he would send more guild members here to fight."

"That won\'t change anything, and it would just increase the casualties." Kayden pondered for a while and uttered, "How about you call a… ride or something. Or better yet, bring the flying castle here. All the players can get into it, and then we can go to the other towns to save the other players who are stuck in this realm?"

"That\'s a good idea. But…" the player gazed at flying monsters and demons in the sky and said, "I don\'t think Elliot would agree. It\'s far too dangerous. Besides, look at those titans. They alone can break the entire castle like a lego set."

"True…"

"But let me talk with Elliot and see if he can provide any help. Until then…" The player turned around and said in a loud voice, "All units, time to show our strength! We have leveled up a lot! And these monsters are nothing compared to that abomination on the 75th floor! We are the survivors of that tragedy! So let\'s use our strength for good!"

"Yeah!" all the guild members cheered up and scattered in all directions.

A female classmate of Kayden and Misha smiled at them and said, "Congratulations on your wedding, by the way. I am sorry I couldn\'t make it."

"No, it\'s perfectly fine. You and all the other classmates of ours sent us warm wishes, and that was enough," Misha said with a smile on her face.

Then, the female classmate looked at Aurora, who was cleaving monsters in one shot.

"Is that girl perhaps… Zach\'s new girlfriend?" she asked.

"How do you… know…?" Misha asked with a confused yet curious look on her face. "I doubt Zach would have told anyone…"

The female classmate chuckled and said, "You know, when Zach and everyone were clearing the dungeon and fighting strong monsters, Zach would always stop fighting whenever he received a notification. Even while resting, Zach would chat with someone."

"And Victoria looked jealous every time Zach did that, so I assumed maybe… you know…" she added with a shoulder shrug.

Misha nodded and said, "Yeah. She is Zach\'s new girlfriend."

"Let\'s go help her!"

Misha, Kayden, the female classmate, and a few other players rushed to where Aurora was fighting with the monsters.

The other guild members and players were fighting on the other sides, but Aurora was stealing the spotlight.

Even her blank attacks of simply swinging her sword in the air created sharp wind attacks that were cleaving monsters like butter.

"Does she even need our help at this point…?" a player muttered with a baffled look on his face.

However, Aurora had reached her limit. And the second wave of the hell was about to begin.
