The players that are part of the top guild and other players who were still able to fight started charging towards the death knight. When Sirius and Levin Cloud were about to reach the wave of players charging recklessly, Sirius imdiately threw Levin Cloud into the air and bit him by the scruff of his clothes. Sirius imdiately dived into the portal and reappeared below a bit father in the back.
So were unaware how that happened but those with sharp eyes managed to see that the wolf suddenly vanished and reappeared like it was a ghost. One of those was the Gno gunslinger on top of the wall because she was looking at the important parts of the battlefield. Thankfully, Sirius and Levin Cloud provided a distraction from the eyes of the observers and Adrian blinked away to a nearby group of trees after the effects of the Sanctuary vanished.
The vortices finally subsided and it spit out the undead that were not killed due to being pulled inside a bit late or them just having higher health. Adrian thought that the lich would target him or attempt to follow after him but it did not. The lich kept looking at the death knight who charged and casted support buffs on it to make its defenses almost impenetrable.
Adrian casted his Glamour skill once again on himself and observed the two undead. Adrian was then surprised because the two undead had so sort of connection to each other. A system prompt then appeared.
[You have seen a hidden piece of information regarding the two undead.]
[Zigra and Wekka are tied together with a Destiny Chain.]
[If they are not defeated at a ti fra of at most 10 seconds, the other will be able to revive to half health.]
"Things just got even harder than I thought it would be." Adrian said as he blinked towards the fortress wall.
"Whooh! That was an adrenaline rush!" Levin Cloud said while still being carried by Sirius in the scruff of his clothes.
"Yeah right. It would have been perfect if you had a cool pose." Kabrakan teased while he chuckles.
"I think you looked cool." Peridot said which she imdiately realized and made her blush.
"Ehem! I think we have bigger problems than I think." Adrian said as he managed just reach the fortress wall due to casting Assault Charge.
"What do you an bigger problems?" Levin Cloud interjected but he still blushed a little due to Peridot's comnt.
Adrian then showed them the details on the two high tier undead. Even they thought it was impossible with the size of the people in the fortress. The two undead were nad and have a special link that enables them to revive if the other is not defeated quickly.
"We need the help of the top guild if we are to defend this fortress. Also, the mission stated that we must not kill the undead but protect the fortress." Adrian smiled.
"What do you an?" Kabrakan asked.
"We only need to protect the fortress from the undead. It was not ntioned that we need to obliterate them. Making them retreat should be doable." Adrian muttered.
The three who was told about this also agree quite a bit with what their friend told them. It was one thing to get them on board but the people on this fortress in another thing. Each player here was participating for their own gain and not because they wholeheartedly wanted to defend this fortress.
"Don't you have like a ga breaking item that could one shot them or sothing?" Levin Cloud asked.
"What do you think I am?" Adrian said in retort.
"Broken! A broken character." Levin Cloud said confidently.
Adrian looked at the other two but they only nodded. He gave up and said, "I already used my most useful spells and they have long cooldowns. I may be a bit overpowered if compared to regular or casual players but if you compare
to them."
Adrian then looked towards the mbers of the top guilds who were putting up a good fight against the death knight.
"I might be a bit weaker than them. If you compare us in ga chanics, they would be slightly better. Most of the monsters I fought rarely have good AI because most of them are monsters. The enemies that have higher AI if you rember, I did not face alone or faced them head-on. If you know what I an. I might be lucky with so items but luck could only take you a few steps ahead." Adrian said as even he knows about his weaknesses as a VRMMO player.
Levin Cloud then rembered that Argent who they faced was not really them who faced her but the twin gods. In the end, Adrian was just one person. Even the peak rankers have parties to hunt with them in very difficult dungeons. There may be so exceptions but Adrian is not one of them. At least not yet as he is still immature as what Ascalor pointed out.
"Guys!" Peridot then took their attention.
"Is there sothing wrong?" Levin Cloud asked.
"My little brother has inford
that so fortresses have already fallen." Peridot said in a serious tone.
"So soon?! It is only been about five hours since the siege began." Kabrakan said in surprise.
"It seems there were players who were affiliated with the enemy which is why the fortresses fell." Peridot said.
"So it was an inside job?" Levin Cloud asked.
"Not only that, it seems larger fortresses have stronger undead than small size fortresses like this one. So players even grumbled in the players as they lost their hotowns." Peridot said as she beca alert.
=======
anwhile the players who were assaulting the death knight could only frown.
[You have dealt 1,348 physical damage to the death knight.]
When the orc player who wielded axes saw this, he could only frown. He asked his teammates to see if they were having the sa problem and to his dismay they were. He ordered his teammates to regroup and think of a better strategy. His team left the fight and the pressure on the other players beca imnse.
The death knight was easily slaughtering low health players. It could even toss its spear to the players in the backline if their spells hit him. The long range players could see their fellow players get skewered alive every ti it tossed its spear. Fear started accumulating in the hearts of the players that they would not be able to succeed as the lich was healing the death knight sohow.
The tank players could only grit their teeth and see their health visibly draining with each strike they take from the death knight. When so players saw mbers of top guilds fall back, so also fell back as if those people think it is difficult then why should they waste their skills.
There were also so players who went straight for the lich instead of the death knight. They wanted to damage the lich but the shield protecting it could not be pierced so easily. Only a few piercing skills went through but their damage was diminished due to another shield that the lich will conjure if it would take a piercing skill.
"One way we could win is that we make the undead flee. By undead, I ant the lich and death knight since they are the cornerstone of the invasion. The lich would probably flee it loses all its mana. Do you guys have a skill that could deplete an opponent's mana?" Adrian stated.
"I do not have anything." Levin Cloud said.
"I am a tank so don't expect that from ." Kabrakan said.
The three then looked at Peridot hoping for her to have one but she said, "Even I do not have one."
"I have one." An alluring female voice ca from behind them.
The woman was sporting a sexy black witch outfit. She has purple hair that reached her knees. She was very pretty since her dark green eyes matches her whole outfit. She introduced herself as Cersei and that she was part of the guild Evergreen as seen from the flower emblem on her clothes.
"It seems soone has been eavesdropping on people's conversation." Peridot said while crossing her arms as the boys in her party was sowhat srized by Cersei's appearance.
Adrian snapped out of his enchantnt and suddenly asked, "I am sure it would not be for free of course?"
"Of course. I just want you and that cute elf over there to visit our guild that is all it takes." Cersei said while flashing an alluring smile.
Peridot face beca dark when she heard the reply. But even she wants to not fail on this defense because their party is currently the leading in terms of score. The mission would fail if the fortress falls which is why so of the player were salty in the forums. The players who failed got nothing.
"So is that yes?" Cersei once again asked.
The three friends looked at each other and nodded. It was Adrian who said yes to Cersei's suggestion. To which the lady happily smiled.
