78 A brand new world 2 (1/2)
A splattered head.
Something that no one expected to happen once they had left the safety of the city. But the first person, who left the town was greeted by an unknown flying object. Before they had even realized what occasion was currently in the midst of unfolding in front of their very own eyes many more objects came at them.
Despite this strange occurrence, most people adapted to the circumstances quite quickly and decided to cast different spells of mana in front of them to protect themselves. The only problem was, that this attack was only the prelude, as the next wave of attacks came straight from the sky.
After many fell prey towards this tactic many people decided to fall back for the time being and observe from the distance. They watched as others went straight to their doom and tried to take notice of every little detail they could make out.
The first major discovery they made, was that the unknown flying objects were pebbles being hurled at them and the attack out of there was conducted by birds carrying big rocks and letting them drop over their heads. They were left baffled as they had never seen such a strategy by monsters. Even the mutated Nagants did not act in that crazed manner.
But the assault of the monsters did not even stop there, as some monsters even attacked directly from the soil and attacked those who were focussing on defending themselves. There was no sign where those bugs would strike next, so every mage had to be extra careful not to get caught off guard.
Not one monster had died so far, even though many players had succumbed to the fierce battle style from the monsters. This weird scenario only affected one specific spawn point. Not one other city was affected by this horde of monsters. But the players did not have the luxury to think about this right now.
Even after spectating the failure of many pitiful souls not one solution had been found. They were not able to handle this unusual situation. They could not cast their magic inside the city and if they tried to move out of it, they were kept in place by the monsters cooperation. There was no way to breach though.
A general confusion could be found on each and every player as they could not fathom, what the developer wanted to achieve by creating such a dilemma for them. This would even pose a challenge to the youth of the Church, so how should they be able to deal with it?
With no Church insight, the players would have to rely on themselves to fend off the monsters and nobody showed any kind of intention to try and defy the odds. The reasoning was quite simple, as no one had any knowledge about what would await them once they passed through. With their current limited amount of players, they would never have enough manpower to accomplish this feature.
This hesitance leads to a strange truce as those monsters could not attack those players inside of the safe zones and those players did not show any indication of leaving the safety of the town all too soon.
Nobody involved knew how exactly they could handle this strange sight. The fierce fight had turned into a staring contest where neither side wanted to budge.
Though the monsters were furious about how the situation had developed. They started to try and provoke the enemy to lure them out. But the stalemate continued as those players straight up ignored the taunts from the monsters.
Upon seeing the disregard in the eyes of the players, the monsters started to roar at them even more loudly and a sinister expression became visible on their faces.
The monsters started to do something unspeakable, that not a single person would have expected to ever happen in either this or the real world. They started to copulate right in front of the crowd. Those poor souls were by no means expert on this certain topic, but they were fully aware of what those monsters were currently doing.
They could not muster the strength to close their eyes, as they watched in sheer horror and disgust. Even if some people had managed to close their eyes, they still could not escape the inhuman noises, that resulted out of the fierce mating session. The heavy grunts and mating calls left little to the imagination of what was currently taking place.
The psychological warfare has been won by the monsters and the players were left mentally scarred. This escalation would mark a turning point in the history of Primal Survival as players and spectators alike witnessed this obscene spectacle. There were next to no words, that could sufficiently describe these inner feelings.
If the monsters had stopped at that, then many players could have recovered from this horrific event but those monsters did not stop. To understand the extent of horror from the next action the monsters took, some knowledge regarding the safety of the towns is required.
The towns are surrounded by something that prevents living monsters from passing through it and it actively stops any kind of danger that poses a threat to the players. Any other thing can actively pass through this zone without a problem.
The players were forced to learn this loophole the hard way, as the monsters started their next wave of attacks. Though the projectiles had been replaced by another substance, that would not have any direct damage upon impact. It was something natural, that each and every organism produces, the potential health risks aside.Every onlooker had a dumbfounded expression, as their doom came closer and closer towards them.
Facing such a disaster, those players were left with no choice, then giving it their all as they prepared to launch their magic into the air to stop those projectiles in their tracks. With their newfound strength, they prepared their most suitable magic and threw them in the air.
But there was just one slight misconception, that they had forgotten about, due to their past behaviour in towns magic had been disabled due to them killing every villager on sight. Before they had realized it, the substance had already made contact.
An eerie silence took place after the players were hit. The monsters noticed that something was horribly wrong as those players did not even react to their humiliation, they just stared at the monsters with cruel intent. Not one word had to be spoken, not one gesture was necessary to understand.
Those monsters had crossed a line, that should have never been crossed, they had done something that is unforgivable regardless of circumstance. Nothing could absolve them from such a heinous crime.
Their fate had been sealed and the players put aside each and every worry as they ran out of the town. They disregarded their defences and just launched their magic at the monsters. The first victim was the birds, that had dropped stones onto their head. They had been torn apart by the cumulated spells being thrown at them.
The fury inside of them had not lessened after killing those pesky birds, to the contrary, their desire for bloodshed had even increased. The blood that had been spilt was not nearly enough to wash away the shame and humiliation that they had to endure.
Their next prey were the bugs, that were currently hiding underground in order to avoid the onslaught of the crazed masses. In order to get rid of the pest, they decided against any fancy tactics as they just used water magic to drown those monsters. Many infuriated screams could be heard as they could not see their demise.
But their vengeance was not done until every single monster responsible has been dealt with and their primary target still had not been eradicated.
After the spree of relentless slaughter, they came closer and closer to the main perpetrator. They would stop at nothing to quench their anger and after finally encountering their desired target they started their next wave of attacks without a moments break.
