Chapter 132: No Survivors (1/2)

What should you do when you run into a tsunami?

Although there are actually no right answers, holding their hands over their heads was clearly not the Players’ style.

In reality, Marni and the others weren’t too far from the Frogmen Village, and they just might reach it before the tsunami arrived.

After that, they only had to use the Lifestone in the Frogmen Village and teleport to the Unnamed Town or Lancaster for salvation, since most tsunamis would only extend several miles from the coast. It would definitely not reach the Unnamed Town which was dozens of miles away, much less Lancaster which was half a mile away.

In fact, many other Players apart from Ivan and Marni had intended to do that, with every last one of them dashing wildly towards the village as well.

But Marni suddenly remembered one serious problem.

“Don’t run off!” He yelled at the Players who had yet to escape. “The Frogmen who haven’t contracted with us can’t be revived! Half of them would die if the tsunami hits their village directly!”

The other Players only realized that thanks to Marni’s warning.

And yet, humans who had yet to reach the level of legend were insignificant in the presence of such natural calamity.

Even though Xi Wei had mentioned in the Players’ Class Manual that Tide Callers could stir tsunamis, that skill was a late-game technique which demanded high player-level. Moreover, even if there was a Player who could cast it, man-made tsunamis would still be dull in comparison to natural ones.

After all, as a sub-deity to the Ocean God, the Aquatic Lord’s power only involves the sea by the slightest of fractions. It ultimately wasn’t his job, and since the power that Xi Wei plundered was a defective version in the first place, it was impressive that he could use that aspect and independently create the Tide Caller class. As such, there was no way he could excessively pursue strength…

“That’s true, but what should we do?” The other Players turned instinctively, their eyes fixing upon Marni. “Our strength alone is impossible to stop that massive tide, right?”

“Calm down. We are not fighting the tsunami—we just have to weaken the wave hitting the village!”

The truth was that Marni did not have experience dealing with tsunamis either, but being the Players’ temporary leader, he shouldn’t be blundering around. “Do it as usual: warriors up front and cast every defensive skill, anything you could block counts. Clerics stay behind, buff HP and cast skills. Every other class, fire everything at the wave. Don’t spare any mana!”

He didn’t make everything clear, but the other players basically knew what he was talking about.

They were going to die there. The force of the tsunami was nothing to be fooled around with, and chances to survive were beyond fractional. In fact, it was possible their effort might all mean nothing.

The other Players might not reach here in time to revive them either, which meant they were all definitely going to be locked up for three days in that little dark hut.

Nevertheless, none of the Players ran away.

The Frogmen Village was an ally of Church of the God of Games, and many frogmen had already dedicated the latter half of their lives to Players as their followers, contributing however they could in their adventures.

As such, the Players should protect the Frogmen Village be it out of sentiment or reason.
