Terra Nova

Everyone was caught of guard. Mages were too inexperienced to change course of a attack so they just had to stay there and watch predators closing in. Lizard's teeth could be seen flowing into mages neck without any resistance. Humans were no longer on a top of a food chain

"Huang Chen, Keldian and Tanya go to back-line!" Noah quickly reacted to what was happening with sending one guardian, spearman and pugilist to end of a formation. Just as he finshed giving orders, he could see lizard madly running towards him. He quickly used his 10 mana on Unbreakble Shield. This Swift Lizard made same choice as one before him, however, Noah was expecting this and instead of blocking it, he trapped it's mouth with bottom of his big shield, just centimiters before his leg was bitten. This was perfect strategy, tail can't reach him in this position. Quickly after trapping it he tightened his grip on a handle of a sword in his left hand, raised it above his shield and stabbed lizards brain. Hologram text appeared on topcenter of his vision . After stabbing it's brain, it immediatly died.

No matter how much health one has if he is stabbed in head or heart he will die. This is why resistances and good artifacts were so important.

While front was successful, at back wasn't such a good situation. There were only few that attacked, others were on floor screaming, shaking, crying or puking. They just talked with this guy few minutes ago, but now he was laying dead on a floor, his dreams, success, happines, everything dissapeard in just a second, everyone realised they could be next...

"Khaaaaa!" Tanya was first one to attack, charging at a lizard that was in mid-air jumping towards it's next target. Tanya's legs started to glow as she made a leap of 4 meters and slammed her foot at the lizards head knocking it few meters back in the air. 'I wasn't wrong about my choice.' Keldian, Guardian from front, was charging at next lizard that was also mid-jump and slamimg it with his shield, sending it back, same as Tanya. He didn't use any skills, just momentum of his huge body.

"We have to fight! If you don't want to end up like him!" She pointed at a man that was laying dead on a floor. She was a bit disquested with her after that, but still knew what kind of motivation it could bring to others.

KRIIEEEEKKKK

When lizards got back up, front line was already set up like how it used to be. Lizards charged at them but they already figured how to deal with them. Noah explained Keldian what to do. And so, they quickly took care of them, traping them and going for the brain. Considering they just met 20-30 minutes ago this group was really amazing. It was all thanks too strong leadership.

"Huff huff... We will split orbs acording to our contribution in getting them. Tanya, Keldian and I will each take one."

"That's not fair!" It seems like some thirty year old was together with arrogant kid on this.

"Than, what do you suggest? Why should you gain something for not doing anything? You just sat at the ground crying while we fought."

"That's.... What are we gonna do about that than?" What he pointed out to, was dead human body, above it there was orb, floating. It was of light purple colour. As people looked at this they realised what it means. When humans die they also drop Orbs!

"We won't do anything about it. How can you even think that?" Noah already knew that he wanted to take it.

"Isn't it obviouse? If we absorb that we will become stronger! I don't want to end up like that, whole life is infront of me! If i have to become thrash than so be it, i'm gonna survive!"

"You... It's your choice, however if you take this you are not going in same direction as we, same counts for everybody." Noah had made this decision in respect towards poor dead guy. He knew that this will make them stronger, but still refused to take it. However, if in future he continued with this, only bad end awaits.

"Tsk." Man showed his frustration. 'This group is too strong, i can't leave.'

Alex was very impressed by Noah's choices, however he disagreed with this one. "I believe our best option is to take it. It will help us and make us stronger which in turn means safer. This is just a waste of oppertunity if you ask me."

"And who asked you?" Noah was already irritated from everything that happend.

"I also agree with Alex." Alex didn't excpect this, Samantha actually remebered his name, i mean agreed with him.

"I already said what i had to say. It's on you to choose." Noah had enough of talking to kids for a day and slowly made his way forward.

'If we take that it might help stopping something similar happening again. Ehh.. I said enough i don't want to leave this group for now.'

Same as last time Alex went to check dead bodies. This time however, Noah didn't wait for him and just kept advancing forward. Alex didn't really care about this and continued to collect souls, not collecting Orb from human body. After finishing, Alex quickly cought up with a group and made his way to center. 'Two souls were Agility and one was strenght, they also gave half of what orb gave and also of same stat. But human soul gave much more i gained 1.2 Ability Power.' Nobody said he can't take his soul, right? 'Considering he was a mage, Orbs most likely drop part of highest stat, or it's just random? It's probably random... I mean, they are called Swift Lizards, right? Their highest stat is probably agility. I'll test with that later. Also, bank works how i thought, stacking 2 Agility souls together making it 0.1 Agility. I can most likely just keep it there until i choose to use it.'

"Hey Summoner, why are you not summoning anything?" One of spearman asked looking at summomer eyes confused and curiouse. As he said this, everyone remember he actually existed and also remebered him just walking in the center, completly safe, not doing anything.

"There is no need to waste my mana, we are holding well enough."

Noah also just remembered about this guy. "What can you summon?"

"Wolf with 40HP."

"Is there limit to how much time it can be alive?"

"Ten minutes"

"Is there limit to how many you can summon?"

"I can't summon more than one."

"Summon it now and send it to back-line to protect mages with Keldian. If it dies you will spawn new one. Keep doing that until you have no more mana." Noah got back to his commanding voice.

'Tsk, so annoying.'

They advanced forward without any problems, wolf was also helpful since it didn't care about it's life and became perfect meatshield thanks to that. They kept going for some time. Until they heard monoton feminine voice.

After this notification finished, no matter where you were or your condition, all breathing humans got teleportated to big colosseums.

Floor was made of dirt and was very sturdy. Behind them was a metal gate, it ascended over 6 meters. In the center, of circle shaped ancient looking Colosseum, was some kind of big tombstone. They weren't only people here. There were 10 metal gates all arond a circle, at perfect distance from each other. Infront of every gate there were people. It ranged from one to fourteen people. Their party had most.

Closest group to them, on a right-side, were consisting of one girl, five guys and older lady. There were 2 man on top of a beautiful Asian girl. One of the man had gun in his pants and was detaining her legs with his knees, while other held her hands. People behind those 3 had scared and helpless expressions. How can they go up against those guys? If they do, they will end up with bullet in their c.h.e.s.t like others. Just as they were about to rip her shirt, not even notching that they weren't in forest anymore, they could see tall sillhouete charging at them.

SLAM

In next second they were both drifting in air.

"Sob sob... he-help.... Sob... save me.... th-thank you.... save me please... please" Tall tenegeer, seemingly of her age, was next to her, she started into his beautiful gem like green eyes and cried for help. She was just thankful that someone tried to save her.

"Don't worry. It's okay now." Teenager reassured her with confident voice. She felt little easier after that.

"B-Be careful... g-gun." Teenager turned his head, with short brown hair, to the owner of the voice. It was one of the guys from their group that just stood there doing nothing.

"You little prick!" Man pulled out his gun and pointed it at teeneger. In his eyes it could be seen he already killed. However teenager didn't scream like others he pointed his gun at, he just stared right into his eyes, griping his big thick sword slightly.

"Ace!"
