233 Sandstorm and Thunderstorm (1/2)

-Order of Light, Near East Gate-

It took us a while but we were able to cut their numbers. They have good offense and defense but it won't work for people who became strong fighting real battles from the enemies around the world of New Life Online and not just by training and practicing inside the castle. I played for a long time now and I fight better when I'm in a pinch.

”Deandre, surrender now or we don't have a choice but to end your life here!” By the looks of their formation, they are less than a hundred now and they're mostly supports and spellcasters.

Deandre was supposed to be as strong as Zeth because they started together but he dies too much that he can't progress at all. That's the toll of being on the frontlines. You just don't fight to save your people but you also fight risking your overall levels.

”You fools! The other guilds are on their way to help us! You are all going to die here!” It seems like the second large scale battle starts here.

”If we can defeat the so-called ”Strongest Guild” then who can stop us?” Leion's pretty excited too. Let's not get too cocky now.

Leion started rushing towards the wounded Deandre and I can tell that he's going for the kill.

*CLANG!*

Someone suddenly showed up and deflected his attack! What?! I didn't even feel his presence!

”I can.” He's the guild leader of Vanguard, Sieg!

”Damn it, Bro! Why are you here?!” Leion exclaimed.

Like what I expected. Vanguard's Anti-Spellcaster, Warden is already helping Azzie's side and Vanguard's Reaper is helping the Brotherhood.

”This is not just for the game anymore, Leion. It's hard to explain but this is for the greater good.” I thought Vanguards won't be a problem anymore because Leion is on our side now. It looks like they haven't talked about it yet.

”Did that old man talked you into this? You know that man is full of crap, right?” Leion is starting to get agitated. I'd feel the same if I'm in his situation but I respect Petula's decisions.

”No, I decided to do this because it's what I'm supposed to do as the leader of my guild. I will let you go if you want to go but if you want to stay here and fight, I am forced to stop you.” Sieg's ability is on a different level compared to most of us here. If only Zia can use the power she used against the Frozen King then we might have a huge chance.

”Then I will fight you! I will show you why I'm the chosen one to be the successor of our family and not you! AMAROQ'S WRATH! MOONLIGHT DANCE!” Leion used his monster soul! He charged at Sieg so fast! He created clones and moved in a different direction!

”Leion! Don't be reckless!” Zia warned him but he didn't listen.

”BASILISK'S WRATH! BASILISK'S SANDSTORM!” Sieg also used his monster soul and he released a powerful wave of sandstorm towards us!

Leion's clones disappeared and he was stopped from charging because of the powerful sandstorm!

”GAAAAH!” What?! I heard a shout from someone near us!

”AHHHHH!” Another one! Sieg is killing us one by one!

”FRUIT PUNCH!” I tried to use my power stone but the shockwave didn't stop the sandstorm! Our other spellcasters too tried but it didn't work!

”REGROUP!” Zia ordered. We tried gathering together but there are only a few people in our group left! What the hell?! Leion is not here too!

This is the power of one of the Thirteen Gods. He's only using his first form but we're almost got wiped out.

*CLANG!* Holy coconut! Thanks to my good senses, I almost got killed! A blade out of nowhere popped out and almost pierced me in the chest. Somehow I parried the attack on time.

My senses are not doing great because of the sandstorm restricting it. We have to stop this or we will all die!

*BOOOOOOOM!* Suddenly, a loud and powerful explosion happened near the gate and that pushed us all away! It somehow also cleared the sandstorm.

Then I saw Zia checking up on their party members if someone is still alive but... I can tell that they're gone now.

”Leion! Are you ok?!” Zia rushed to Leion who's lying on the ground with his shoulder severely injured.

”I told you not to be hasty! If we planned this well this wouldn't have happened!” This is the first time I saw Zia look too this serious.
