Chapter 28 Monster Outbreak I
Chapter 28 Monster Outbreak I
?The walls and the gate we built did their job perfectly protecting the village from the vicious monsters that are lurking to prey on us. During the first wave, most of the monsters were unable to reach the walls because the archers did not let them come closer. This outbreak of monsters is several times more dangerous than the first one because no matter how many archers try they were unable to keep up with the number of monsters.
The question Aunt Asumi asked kept ringing in my mind. Did this happen because of Yuvanna's death? That means the cause of the monster outbreak was her now that her presence is gone monsters are in more panic.
"Aunt, we won't be able to hold the monsters anymore with only archers why don't we send warriors too?" Asumi was looking at the wall while I said that.
"Veli, go and find Delvi and the group we trained I will go and meet the other village chiefs and get things ready. We will go all out and look like this is the final attack because there are a lot of mid-level monsters,"
"Ok Aunt, did you see my mother I couldn't find her even after searching for a few minutes," I ask while looking at the situation on the wall.
"Nia must be helping the warriors or most be with your sister, I will manage things here go quickly help them" As soon as she finished I ran toward the entrance of the village to find the sister. It took several minutes for me to find her gladly most of them were uninjured. Mother and Lyra were also there helping others. After the danger, bell ring villagers are advised to hide in the hidden spot we created for them to avoid unnecessary losses. So the village was almost empty.
"Mother, Delvi, Lyra!" I shouted and ran toward them hugging mother first. Just as I hugged her the nostalgic smell of her entered my nose and I couldn't help but relax in her embrace. I hugged her for a few minutes before breaking our hug.
"As always you love the mother most, aren't you?" Delvi ask with a little envious gaze but I also hugged her and Lyra without letting them complain any further.
"It is to be expected Veli loves his mother more than you people," Daphnia said while pushing her chest forward.
"Mother, how's the situation of the warriors and archers," Daphnia's face became a little dark after hearing the Velian's question.
"Not so good Veli, most of the archers were injured by the flying monsters and the acids, Sooner or later we will have to fly," She said while looking at the elite team.
Delhi was listening to all this but she didn't show a gloomy expression instead she was acting as if a blood-lusting vampire as expected of my bloodthirsty sister.
Lyra couldn't fully develop her combat abilities yet so she cannot be considered an asset in this fight.
I looked at the elite team Remi was talking with others while encouraging them. I went toward her.
"Remi, how's the situation of your group? Can they fight again or are they injured?" I asked her.
"Young master, expect two others are ready to battle again we equipped some new swords and are ready to fight, It's great to see you, safe young master," She was the one and only friend of the Delvi. I can guess why they are friends because both of them have the motivation to become stronger and stronger.
We were talking and getting ready to fight but suddenly a loud crash was heard from the direction of the wall and we all wanted to see what happened. We quickly equipped ourselves and went in that direction.
A part of the wall was crashed and a lot of monsters were flowing in like a river. The Warriors were keeping them at bay without letting them go inside anymore. The battle had already started so we didn't have time for ideal talks.
"Delvi, You are the best to lead the elites and the other warriors we trained than me so help them I will help mom, Be safe sister," She gave a nod and I went in the direction in which Mother was fighting.
"I will help you mother," I unsheathed my sword and coordinated my attacks with her spells. She used the same spells which she used the day the assassins attacked us.
Most of the person only learn one thing be it Warrior or a Mage because it is hard to follow both and there is a possibility you will become half-assed if one couldn't completely practice both.
Even if our mother is a mage we choose to become magic swordsmen who practice both Swords and Spells. It actually needs a lot of concentration but if it is done right one can surpass a well-seasoned warrior or a mage. In this village, there are only three who can be considered magic swordsmen including me, Delvi and Remi.
Mages were not abundant because most of the peasants spend their life without finding their true potential. Even in this village, there are only a few mages who can be counted by a single hand. It is a well-known fact that some mages are more powerful than a warrior in long ranges.
I didn't use my spells because they were still under the construction and there is a high possibility of a friendly attack.
We kept killing a lot of monsters who entered the village through the broken wall. Mother had to spend a lot of mana to clear all these monsters while I was not exhausted at all because of my abnormal race.
Just as we were about to close the broken part of the wall with some woods to prevent monsters from entering the village we heard another mind-blowing sound of a monster. Most of the warriors were scared because it had a little intimidation effect on their voices.
This cannot be a mid-level monster must be a high-ranking one. Even though it is indicating to others that after witnessing a dragon I couldn't even feel the slightest threat from it but I still decided to deal with it before it causes more damage to the village.
I went near the wall to look outside and was greeted with the sight of a big monster heading toward the village wall.
