The Unknown God

Chapter 22 - 21 The Battle of Megita [Part II]

Clap Clap Clap.

Simply walked out of the shadows.

"Damn, that was pretty dope. Ouch for your arm, but still, OP. Oh, and you can actually curse! Didn't think you could!"

"Thanks... I guess."

"And here we go again."

"Did you finish your... task? I do not see any flaming... barracks."

"Oh, that! I got a plan, " a giant smirk appeared on Simply has he beckoned Moventus onwards, "let's go get the boss, the reinforcements can handle the rests of the small flies."

Moventus's arm regenerated after he downed a health potion. Health potions could regrow lost limbs as long as the player was out of combat. Though it was only limited to players, NPCs required specialized potions or spells that were as rare as phoenix feathers.

The duo arrived before the two heavily armoured guards. Katana over his shoulder, Moventus looked stylishly fearsome. Not to be outdone, Simply switch his sword to his left hand, holding it by the blade.

"Those who dare stand against House Umbra shall face its wrath, " simultaneously, Simply snapped with his right hand. A Massive boom was heard, followed by screams and wails. The smell of gunpowder and burned flesh washed over the outpost. The barracks burned bright, as the two swordsmen dashed towards the distracted guards.

The sight of their friends burning alongside the brutal tactic employed emotionally weakened the goblins. They gave up at the overwhelming pressure emitted by the two humans charging at them. They stood no chance.

"My lord, the gates are opened."

"Excellent. Brothers, the time for battle is upon us. Reclaim what has been taken from us. For the Empire!!!"

Drawing his sword, Ser Alvyn, the lion ran towards the orcs, yelling. The rest of his men followed close behind, shouting. War cries erupt from within the darkness of the night, scaring the defenders. As they scramble their defences, they realise the wide opened gate. Before they can make sense of the situation, a massive explosion occurs behind them, striping what little sense of security they had.

From within the command tent, appeared three hobgoblins. One was garbed in a crimson red robe. His facial features were shrouded under a hood. He held a dragonic shaped golden staff in his hands. Beside him, stood a hobgoblin clad in black leather armour. Unarmed, she radiated powerful killing intent. Last to exit the tent, standing in between the others, stood an armoured-clad captain.

"Shadelen dispose of the rats. Mulzorz go to the gate."

After monotonously giving his orders, he returned to his tent.

The wizard glanced at the two 'rats' before heading towards his post. Shadelen grinned and disappeared. Moventus twisted his body, swiftly bringing his katana up.

TING

Sparks flew as Shadelen reappeared above him, daggers in hands. Still, in the air, she lashed out, kicking him straight in the ribs, shattering a few. The stark difference in strength materialised as Moventus flew five meters away. He bashed into a stockpile. Shadelen advanced towards the downed Moventus, killing intent running wild. The flames of the burning barracks shone on her red face, making her look like a demon.

[-28 Hp] {Moventus}

"Alright now I just feel disrespected. Yo, bitch, think fast!" Simply flicked his dagger at her.

Smiling, she threw her own dagger as well towards Simply. With practised ease she caught his dagger replacing her recently lost one. Her flying dagger flew past her intended target because he had long since left his previous position. In the midst of adjusting her grip on the dagger, Narsil slide past her guard, closely missing her vital organs. Blindly countering Simply, she repeatedly stabbed him. Using a martial art technique he had mastered a long time ago, he distanced himself from the crazy 'stabby stabby' hobgoblin. Unfortunately, a dagger closely followed him during his escape, piercing his c.h.e.s.t.

[Damage dealt: 85]

[-120 Hp] {Simply}

[-25 Hp] {Simply}

Without hesitating, Simply activated his sword's special skill. Five copies emerged from it, impaling Shadelen into the nearby barrack. The ragging fire ravaged the battered hobgoblin.

[Damage dealt: 1110]

[Fire damage: 5]

Simply begun assaulting her with a barrage of attacks, taking advantage of the reduced defence. Shadelen tried her best to defend against it. But she was impaled to a wall, to her back landed a burning inferno and to the front was a mad man swinging his blade, lacerating her constantly. When Moventus joined the fray, she was done.

[You have killed an Iron-Shadow Hobgoblin]

They slowly regained their breaths after the intense battle. Thankfully, they had managed to kill her before she activated any skills, otherwise, they would have been done for. The Five Dragon Wraights was truly an overpowered skill. Not only could dish out with enormous amounts of damages, but it could impale its targets for sixty seconds. Reducing their defences by a whopping 100%, while simultaneously preventing them from moving, making them unable to dodge.

Simply looted the body. His whole face lit up.
