Chapter 101: Thermal Expansion (1/2)

Staring down the gargantuan beast charging towards him, Joe could feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins, but it wasn’t because he was scared.

It’s time to show you the guts of a true player!

He pointed his sword skyward, feeling the limitless energy pouring down on him from his familiar spirit, the determination in him grew.

“Eat my [Evil Blade—Wave…”

Bang!!!

A mushroom cloud erupted from where the barren giant slammed down his fist, and Joe was flattened to a pancake.

When the barren giant stood up to go gank the other players, Eleena threw a beam of white light in Joe’s direction.

“Greater Revive!”

The light hit Joe’s mangled body and suddenly he was up and running with his full health bar intact.

“Barren giant, your daddy’s back!”

Bang!!!

“Greater Revive!”

“The same trick won’t work thrice…”

Bang!!!

“Greater Revive!”

“I’ve got you all figured out, I just have to roll forward…”

Bang!!!

“Greater Revive!”

“I thi…”

Bang!!!

“Greater Revive!”

“Wai…”

‘Bang!!!’

“Greater Revive!”

…

…

…

“Nice job, thanks to Joe keeping the aggro on him, we’re ready now! Eleena, wait until the barren giant comes over to us before reviving Joe, he’s probably lost a few levels, we’ll give him the last hit later.”

After Joe’s noble sacrifices (read: multiple deaths), Edward had finally finished his preparations.

The girl with the silver twintails nodded, setting the cola bottle in her arms aside and followed Edward’s orders, not immediately reviving Joe after he (once again) became a pancake.

As Edward had predicted, the barren giant started to make his way towards him and his group of mages.
