Chapter 583 - 529: Team of Perfection (2) (1/2)
Unlike Maxine's party, the soldiers remained next to the wall, their job was only to protect the city walls. The first clash happened between her team and the closest Cthulhu, which were the typical ones but seemed more cooperative as they quickly surrounded the team of six and threw long javelins.
The young-looking mage, Tula, retaliated almost immediately, his lips spelling one incantation after another at an insane speed. The ground became slippery, making half of the nearby Cthulhu fall then, it transformed into mud before instantaneously hardening, immobilizing the targets.
The Red Tower did indeed disable the skills of Tula, however, this world is still considered a Magic world that has an abundance of Mana. As long as he repeats the necessary incantation, it is still possible to use a weaker version of his usual skills, however, this method doesn't work on everything. Ultimate skills that can obliterate half of this Cthulhu army should be inaccessible.
Maxine and the rest followed, each taking out five to six enemies at once. The flashiest ones were the green-haired woman and the armored dwarf, each taking a direction and started a destructive rampage.
The leader, even without her sword and martial skills, she was able to devastate the enemy lines, beheading several of these monstrosities with one swing. It has to be said that her sword mastery is nothing to scoff at, it should be a level above Sword Saint but a bit lower than Sword God.
In the other direction, the dwarf's axe rumbled as it struck the ground, splitting the earth and opening a bottomless hole that swallowed all the targets around him. Unlike their teammates, the thief, priest, and the shaman didn't attract much attention as they withheld their power and acted with caution.
The priest rarely attacked and preserved the stored Holy Energy for emergency situations. As for the thief, he was like a ghost, appearing behind the large Cthulhu and slitting their throats with one clean slash.
”What's the deal with the one at the back?”
Arthur stared at the guy with blue tattoos, wondering what he's doing exactly. Instead of attacking or supporting his comrades, he went around and erected some runic pillars that were half of his height. They surrounded him like a circle and once he started chanting with his closed, they vibrated and flashed with the same color as his tattoos.
”Shamans are basically people who forsake their consciousness for a much greater affinity for all the elements. They lose the chance to reach a high cultivation stage but for players, they rely on Levels so it's a win-win situation. In addition to having a vast arsenal of strong elemental skills, they can summon totems that act like a stationary turret shooting targets.”-Quad-Spirit
”Yes yes, I know that but isn't it supposed to be impossible to use skills?”
”Shamans, like druids, communicate with the nature therefore, the only skills they have are meant for support. He doesn't need the System to unleash offensive and defensive skills, which are mostly reliant on those small totems.”
In a minute or so, more than a hundred Cthulhu were defeated, however, Maxine's group couldn't stop the full assault of the enemy forces. Their attacks were devastating but the more they killed, the more Cthulhu surrounded them, elevating their threat level from the alien's point of view.
Thousands of Cthulhu rushed at the city walls, soon clashing with the soldiers, causing the ground to start turning red and the smell of blood to scatter across the whole battlefield.
As they advanced too much, Maxine and her comrades were at a great disadvantage, especially when the strong variants of Cthulhu made their appearance. One of them was very familiar to Arthur, a tall monster with a humanoid form, a skin that resembled a Dark Elf and two golden eyes. it held a red bow and looked exceptionally calm as it pulled the metal string, resulting in an arrow of light to start forming.
His target was Maxine's party, which seemed to be unaware of it. Back in Riarravar, Arthur fought this kind of Cthulhu, which is able to talk and assess the situation quite well to determine whether it's better to flee or fight.
Fifteen seconds quickly passed by and a whistling arrow that was over 4m in length was fired at the small and crowded area where Maxine and co were. The blow will not only kill its kin, it's bound to get rid of its enemies too, or so thought the massive Cthulhu Archer.
