The Heavenly Crystal

"Hold on! Brother Tiger and the vice captains are coming for help!" Duncan shouted at the top of his lungs as he hacked a huge beast with his gigantic axe.

"F.u.c.k you beasts!" one his men shouted with anger as he slashed the beasts surrounding him bravely. He was able to kill five more beasts before a huge lizard-like beast bit off his head. The rest of the men looked at the lizard beast fearfully. They held their weapons tightly with their shaking hands and moved away from the beast.

[Berserk Salamander Soldier] (Gold)

Level 26

ATK: 90

DEF: 90

HP: 320

The Berserk Salamander Soldier was as huge as a bus with sharp rows of saw-like teeth. A menacing horn can also be seen on its forehead, striking fear towards the men.

The beasts swiped its sharp claws and killed an unlucky guy, it then chomped on his dead body while glaring on the remaining men.

"You little lizard! Come face your grandpa Duncan!" Duncan shouted in anger as he dashed towards the lizard beast. He decided to confront the beast to reduce his losses. Although some of his men are cowardly, but they were still brave enough to hold off the beast horde with him.

"Kill off the remaining beasts! I'll take this lizard myself!" he shouted. Although the monster was very strong, but it was not strong enough to be able to kill him. His goal was just to hold the beast off before brother Tiger and the vice captains arrive.

He hacked the beast with his huge axe, but the beast evaded the attack with great ease. It then swiped its sharp claws towards Duncan who blocked the attack by placing his axe in front of him. He was pushed back several steps backward from the attack and rushed forward again. He kept on attacking the beast, but it was able to evade each of his attacks. It might be a large beast, but its dexterity can't be underestimated.

As he was busy fighting with the beast, more men armed with Silver level weapons arrived outside the subdivision and saw the horde of beasts attacking their men. A man wearing army pants and white shirt was leading them. He pointed his short sword forward and shouted towards his men "Attack those beasts and avenge our dead brothers!"

"Duncan! We're here!" shouted a topless man holding a huge halberd. He dashed towards Duncan who was obviously having a hard time fighting the beast.

Duncan saw them and laughed loudly. He hacked towards the beasts with more strength which connected on the beast's body greatly hurting it. The beast swiped Duncan with its claw, creating three deep lines of wounds from his right c.h.e.s.t down to his left hip. Duncan was thrown in midair, his blood splashed along with him. The topless man shouted in anger and threw his huge halberd with great strength towards the beast. It pierced the beast's head instantly killing the beast. He then caught Duncan with both arms and checked his condition. He saw Duncan breathing rapidly with gritted teeth and clenched hands. He was groaning in pain from the huge wounds caused by the lizard beast, but he was still alive.

He brought Duncan towards a much safer location, before joining the men in killing the remaining beast. After losing the Berserk Salamander Soldier, the remaining beasts were only below level 20.

The man wearing white shirt and army pants was killing beasts easily like he was eating rice. He killed the beasts with one sword strike each, greatly boosting the morale of his men. His white shirt was drenched with beast blood and was now red in color. After a little more than an hour, all the beasts were finally killed.

A short middle age man who was similarly drenched in beast blood walked towards him and said "Brother Tiger, all the beasts have been killed."

"How many brothers died in battle, vice captain?" he asked with a dark look.

"We lost eighteen brothers in battle, most if them are Duncan's men.." the short vice captain answered while shaking his head.

Tiger's face became even darker after hearing that and said with a cold voice "Repair the damaged walls and provide our injured brothers with healing pastes and medicine."

The vice captain lowered his head and answered "Yes, brother Tiger!" He then walked away to execute the command of their leader.

Tiger's face was still dark from the heavy losses. One of his three vice captains, Duncan, was even severely injured.

"Rodney!" he shouted. A man with athletic physique sprinted towards him direction.

"Brother Tiger!" the man saluted at him.

"Bring some men with you and scout the perimeter of our subdivision. Kill all the weaker beasts and undeads. If ever there are high level beasts, then you can ask vice captain Malkov for help." he ordered in a cold voice.

"As you wish, brother Tiger!" Rodney answered loudly before calling a few men to go with him.

'These beasts are getting stronger and stronger, and without the weapons from the store, it will be much harder to fight them.' he thought gravely.

He walked back towards the subdivision, his aura risening from every step. The look on his face contorted with anger which scared off his nearby men. They only heaved sighs of relief when they can no longer see his angry silhouette.

"Brother Tiger is very angry this time."

"Of course he should be. We lost many brothers from those damn beasts!"

A topless man holding a huge halberd shouted towards them "Bring all of the beasts' carcass inside, brother Tiger said that they are edible. That should be enough to feed our people for two months."

"Why do we need to do that vice captain Malkov? We can just purchase food from the Store." asked some of his men.

"With hundreds of mouths to feed everyday, it will hurt our pockets if we buy them food everyday. Just do as I say and bring those bodies inside so that we can save a lot of coins!" he answered while glaring towards his men.
