Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 303: Fighting A Fish-Like Monster

As we did, I rapidly took a glance at my team, while waiting for the darkness to dissipate. We lost slightly less than fifty players so far, mostly lost in this brutal wave.

I sighed, hoping we didn't meet such brutal waves again. the next waves were currently calmer than this time, however we kept losing five to ten players each wave. After one hour, we lost around seventy more players, making our loss approaching one hundred and fifty players.josei

"Be ready, new monsters!" I shouted, while we all waited for the new monster to show itself, but nothing happened. "Let's kill them using our usual way," I just said, and suddenly one player screamed, before he fell dead on the ground.

"Assassins!" I shouted, while Diana used one of her AOE skills, rapidly hitting a big part of the area around us, making twenty assassins to appear in front of us.

They were strange, with slim short bodies, and two pairs of arms, instead of one. "They are slimes! Use the ice and lightning based skills to kill them!" Diana shouted, acting again as our strategist.

The battle commenced again, with our losses returning to rise up, reaching twenty five players this wave. We lost over one hundred and fifty players so far, making me wonder if we had entered here with the regular twenty players team, how could we be able to clear such a dungeon then?

I left my team recuperate, as I also took a moment for myself to rest. This dungeon seemed endless, with so many surprises meeting us every hour. At least we managed to handle it, so far, even with our current losses.

I was sure if any other team was here, they wouldn't do anything close to our performance. Right now I wasn't focusing on the guild quest, as the whole game was threatened to be destroyed.

I thought again about these new enemies, the soul suckers ones. Their name seemed scary, but I was pretty sure they had strong relations with the wolves, my real enemies.

I also recalled the words of Shin, speaking about this mysterious power that suddenly erupted out of nowhere. His words were consistent with the description of Aria and others to these soul suckers, making me wonder if they were the same or not.

At such distress times, I really missed Shin and his silly jokes and teasing. I knew he was trying to make me step out of my bad mood, but sometimes I just wanted to punch him in the face, as he went too far with his teasing.

"Let's go," I ordered, after five minutes of rest. My team was now looking much like a veteran team, with faces showing no signs of fear or self lack of confidence. They were ready to face any upcoming threats, with a mindset prepared to adapt to any sudden changes.

I liked that new team of mine, and I hoped everyone else would end up being like them.

I suddenly recalled other teams, as this dungeon wasn't that easy to clear, or survive at. I needed to give everyone a lecture on how to clear this dungeon, the order of monster appearance, and the nature of each monster here.

I was pretty sure they could handle all, except for the trolls. That made the presence of my demon a must. I had no objection to that, but that meant I couldn't fight alone in the wilderness.

If so, then I should return and work on my blacksmith skills, or even start making my own mechas. Though I had some mechas right now, they weren't even close to what I had in mind.

I wanted thousands, tens of thousands, even millions of them if possible!

Such an army would be very deterring to any enemy, no matter wolves or soul suckers!

The next waves proved to be quite challenging, as these assassins were really a very deadly add to the mix of the ground and air combined fierce attacks.

Each wave made us lose around five players, and after the tenth wave, we lost approximately forty five players, and we were about to welcome the new face of monsters in this dungeon.

However, what waited for us was really out of my expectations!

"Stay alert everyone, the next monster wave will have a new type."

I warned them, despite the fact that they didn't need such a warning. Despite our numbers greatly decreasing, approaching three hundred players, the remaining had already gained much Xp, making them all gain two levels so far.

As for me, I gained only one, but so close to gaining the second.

"Roar!"

Suddenly this mighty roar erupted all of sudden, startling me and the others. We waited, as the edge of the darkness surrounded us, but no monster appeared. There were no werewolves, no vampires, no bats, no trolls, nothing.

"Roar!"

Another roar erupted, making everyone glance at each other, skeptically feeling odd right now.

What was causing such roars?

I didn't hesitate and threw my spear to enter the darkness. It passed rapidly as usual, clearing a long path of the darkness along its course, with the large couple of hundred spears moving behind him as sacred guardians to it.

However, after flying for quite some time, it didn't hit anything. I directly aimed towards the direction the roars came from, and just before I snapped my fingers, a strange thing happened.

A head suddenly appeared out of the ground, resembling a defiled head of a whale, with wrinkles all over its head. The next moment this head opened its jaws, and ate my spears, simply like that, before returning again to disappear in the darkness below!

I glanced at everyone, with surprise over my face, and this was the first time Diana didn't know what was going on, so she kept her silence.

"Snap!"

I snapped my fingers, per routine, and suddenly I felt a great resistance against my fingers, while a sudden force erupted around my body, pulling me hard towards the darkness, towards the direction that the huge fish head vanished!

"Grab me now!" I yelled at my demon, which acted at once and grabbed my entire body, hugging me with his. The sudden move of him made my body much heavier than before, and thus I could resist this traction force, standing my place in the middle of the air, while my fingers felt like they were going to crash.

However, I never changed the position of my fingers, not even for a millimeter! I gritted my teeth, as I hurriedly ordered:

"Drag me back, hurry up, now!"

The demon acted at once, dragging me slowly towards the direction of my team. I felt more resistance to my fingers until I suddenly heard a cracking sound, as one of my fingers broke already. This made the traction force suddenly vanish.

Just as I thought my spears were lost, they appeared in the next moment above my hand, but they weren't alone.

The spears emerged from the abdomen of a very strange monster, with a long and giant snake-like body, and fish head, in addition to a group of five long tails moving around like being snakes.

This monster was already at the size of my demon, and the moment it appeared beside both of us, it roared, with its surface starting to sizzle as a reaction to touching the light.

Its huge head then opened wide, and I knew what it was going to do!

"Hit it now, hit it hard!" I screamed at my demon, as he immediately answered my words with actions. His strong fist welcomed the slightly opened mouth of the monster, hitting its face hard enough to cause its huge body entirely to vibrate!

This wasn't all, as the next moment, these five snake like tails moved, mercilessly attacking the back of my demon, trying to insert themselves deep into his back.

However, my demon was an ancient demon, with a very sturdy skin, not being able to be penetrated simply like this.

However the force of the attack drove my demon a couple of steps forward, as he roared in pain, before turning around, grabbing these snake like tails under his armpit.

I didn't stand still watching all this going on without doing something, and also Diana reacted as fast as me. my spears might be partially trapped, but I threw them towards the direction of the tails nonetheless, making the monster's huge body twist over its own, disturbing its current momentum.
