Vol 18 Chapter 5

ACT 5 Under their Feet..

Kwa kwa kwa bang, flash-!

A flash of light ripped through the darkness.The sky had been cloudy since the early evening and now it was pouring heavy rain with occasional lightning. But even the heavy rain couldnt cool off the heat of the magnificent battle.

Wah ah ah ah!

These guys who have no idea of fear, die!

Shut up, you villains! Well defend the peace of New World!

The users didnt rest and kept on swinging their weapons towards Jewels party.In the heavy rainfall, hundreds of people were tangled together and their use of skills caused various flashed in the darkness.When the flashes reflected off the raindrop, an amazing firework like view could be seen. The two groups plunged towards each other like lions in the light.

These bastards, so sloppy.. Annihilate all of them! The great spirits of the wind

Then an Elemental Shaman stared at a user and chanted a spell.It was a wide area magic!In a battle, the magicians wide area attack was the most devastating attack. It was risky if used incorrectly, but the wide area magic was something which could completely change the situation.Especially considering the huge level difference between the secret society and the users. For lower level users, their magic resistance would be low so wide area magic would deal them a fatal blow.

Huck, a wide area magic!

The users discovered too late that an Elemental Shaman was chanting a wide area spell.

Huhuhu, it is too late. One with the wind..

Then just as the wide area magic was about to be completed..

Over here!

One person shot an arrow in the darkness.Then something kicked the Elemental Shamans chin as the arrow impacted with their knee. The magician mouth was forced shut and the spell was cancelled.The man who interrupted the spell landed nimbly on the ground.

It would be dangerous if that was completed.

Ack, my teeth..heok, youre Ark!

Im thankful that you recognize me but Im busy so please die.

Ark laughed and stabbed the Elemental Shaman in the back. Next he used Dark Blade and combined with backstab, 30% of the Elemental Shamans health was instantly lost.The Elemental Shaman tried to attack but it wasnt easy once Ark caught his target. Ark used Dark Dance to attach himself like a leech and hurled quick attacks.

Ugh, over here! Ark is over here!

The Elemental Shaman who was in a critical condition screamed and tried to run away. Then four of the secret society members ran up and acted like a bodyguard to the Elemental Shaman.But Ark didnt pay any attention to the attacks of the secret society members. No, to be exact there was no reason to pay attention to it.

This bastard, youll die for rushing in here recklessly!

The secret society members said as they swung their weapons towards Ark.Then a black shadow suddenly appeared at Arks back.

.He didnt come alone you morons. Sun, Gae, Yeol, Seom!

The black shadow who muttered was Shambala who spoke in a cold voice. A blue dagger flew through the darkness towards them.When Shambala followed, dozens of daggers were stabbed into the body of the secret society members. It was a skill which summoned daggers made of mana which increased damage by 10 times, Ten Strikes.It was Shambalas new skill which he received after changing his occupation to God Killer.The secret society members were hit with poison and bleed, causing their health to drain quickly.But that was just the beginning.Shambala also used his Cruciate Flower Wave which had reached Master level to attack the members. After taking care of the escaping Elemental Shaman, Ark approached the group to help.

Is it tough taking care of them by yourself?

Dont play around. This much is just entertainment for me.

Well Ill help since Im already here. Dark Blade!

Sheesh, you want me to hand them over? Cruciate Flower Wave!

It was the pair of Ark and Shambala that had conquered the Evil Silrion!The secret society members who couldnt even handle Shambala died after a few moments.

Phew, now weve dealt with the priests and magicians to some extent.

Ark panted as he ran out of breath and looked around.While Ark had used various schemes to shave down the power of Jewels group, once the battle started it had tilted to Jewels favour as expected.Those strategies couldnt overcome the 100 level difference. But despite the overwhelming disadvantage, the users formation hadnt collapsed yet.The first reason for that was the power of the broadcast.The fight would be broadcast in real time. Therefore the users showed enormous concentration in battle in order to improve their appearance. In order to increase the atmosphere, they were willing to drink potions like water.And the second reason was because of Ark and Shambala who intruded right into the enemy camp.In fact, it wasnt the warriors but the magicians and priests that controlled a battlefield.It was because of the wide area magic of a magician and the support magic from the priests! In New World, these two occupations had the most influence on a group battle.So Ark infiltrated the enemy camp to assassinate the magicians and priests.He was level 383. With the dark attribute bonus he was level 574 so he didnt hesitate to jump into enemy lines where hundreds of people swarmed. But even if he was over level 400, it would still be difficult alone. However, Ark wasnt alone.

It really does feel different whenever I fight with this guy.

Ark looked at Shambala after killing the secret society members.Ark had fought in wars with thousands of people and also hunted with various professions.But he only felt this comfortable feeling while fighting with Shambala.When paired with Shambala, they didnt need to speak at all.Most times Shambala had already moved before Ark could even speak a word. And Ark also knew where to move to help Shambala just by watching.It was thanks to the sense of solidarity gained from fighting together in the Evil Silrion and in the Seutandal conquest war.

It is also the same with Shambala..!

Then Shambala who had been observing the war situation pointed to one side and shouted.

Ark, this time it is over there!

Shambala was pointing towards the left side of Lancels defense formation. Jewel realized that the users resistance was more stubborn than he thought and concentrated the secret society membersin one place to try and breakthrough.Thus the users who were maintaining that spot immediately started to die.

We have to hurry. In that state they wont be able to hold it!

Understood, wait a minute!

Ark nodded and started feeling around in the mud on the ground.Then he picked something up from where the elemental shaman had died.
