Chapter 202: It was no longer easy

"Wow, that was a nice old play dance with a good side of blood." Li Xiaosheng smiled as he looked at the blood of the sword he pulled from the neck of a lone spiked wolf.

While Zhong Zian looked at the numbers that he was facing, a lone spiked wolf and 3 type 3 ghouls that were shrieking to fight Zhong Zian.

Unsheathes his dual daggers and looked at them in a killing intent. He whispers "Death Terror" with that his eyes changed into a black void and a red bright retina. And with his buff, his damage output has increased.

"Now let's have fun, shall we?" He dashed forward and the first that met by his dagger was the claw of the 2 type 3 ghouls. THe ghouls were strong enough to push him back. But Zhong Zian let them pushed him back but keep dodging and then he found a little opening on the left side of the type 3 ghoul. And luckily, a fireball was heading towards the other ghoul that was about to leap behind the first two that attacked Zhong Zian.

2 minor consecutive explosion erupted above him as he saw that the type 3 ghoul dropped on the ground while burning with the Demonic fiery flame.

Zhong Zian smiled and whispered "Claw Blades" and with that an imagery of psionic claw blades appeared from his above his knuckles and his damage output increase and there he rage dodging the incoming strikes of the ghouls and thrusting and slashing their thick flesh.

Zhong Zian was smiling while doing all those things. And in the end, after killing the two ghouls in front of him. He looked at the Lone Spiked wolf, who was growling and seeking a fight. And Zhong Zian humble accepts by charging forward.

Likewise, the lone spiked wolf charges forward to attack Zhong Zian. Zhong Zian felt that the Lone spiked wolf will leap forward and for him to survive, he needs to slide down and thrust his dual daggers below, and that is the belly of the Lone spiked wolf. it is also said that the belly of the Lone spiked wolf once pierced its critical damage. And like what he predicted from his mind.

The Lone spiked wolf leaps forward, and Zhong Zian, what he initially planned to slide down. And that what he did he slid down the floor and when he was above the Lone spiked wolf's belly, he thrust his dual daggers same with the claw blades that are still in effect.

The blood gushed out from the wound where he thrusted the dual daggers. And followed to that he slashed it until in the end and the Lone spiked wolf was on the other side.

In the end, the Lone spiked wolf crashed on the floor and no longer breathing. Zhong Zian, Li Xiaosheng, and Shanyuan now must face the 6 more ghouls that were waiting for a fight. But luckily, the ghouls were stepping on the ice floor. And because of that, Li Ye raised his hand and clenched his fist, which then 4 consecutive sudden ice spikes appeared from the ice floor.

The ghouls got struck in the middle of their chest. But there were still 2 ghouls that dodge the incoming attack. With that, it provoked them to attack, but then another monster spawned a 3 more Naga Slaughterer and 2 Naga Devourers.

"Dai Lanfen and Wen Xin take care of the Slaughterer me and Li ye will take the naga devourer. Zhong Zian, we also need you." Cai Dinxiang ordered as his flames have reached his shoulders, "Alright, got it!" Dai Lanfen replied while Wen Zin nodded they then both moved towards the 3 Naga Slaughterers.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaosheng and Qin Shanyuan charged forward, going towards the 2 ghouls that were charging towards them. Qin Shanyuan raised his sword and aimed his slash across the 1st ghoul that was about to claw attack her.

But luckily she could Block it using her shield. "RAHHHH easy kill!" she shouted as her sword have cut through the flesh of the ghoul. And then the ghoul dispersed as the simulation of the field of battle has updated. As every dead monster will disperse like particles and removed.

While Li Xiaosheng dodge the two consecutive claw attacks from the Ghoul. He was also stepping back as the ghoul was pushing me back and back. But then he shields the last claw attack and then turns the defensive into offensive.

Before Li Xiaosheng ending the Ghoul with a last sword strike from his sword. The sword thrust cleanly in the thick layer of flesh of the ghoul and then ends with a beheading of the ghoul as it kneels in front of Li Xiaosheng.

"Wen Xin, I need your smoke!" Dai Lanfen shouted as the Naga Slaughterer suddenly goes faster because of how cold and smooth the ice floor was.

But Li Ye saw that kind of slither movement and so he raised his hand to create blocks to hinder the fast advancement of the Naga Slaughterer. "Li Ye, I need you to focus on the Devourer. Let them take care of that."

Li Ye Looked at Cai Dinxiang who was looking at the Naga Devourers that were also slithering towards them.

"Wait for it" Cai Dinxiang raised his hand and trying to signal Li Ye to when he will needs to raise the ice wall. And after a few seconds Cia Dinxiang drops his hand and Li Ye raised his hand and the ice wall suddenly arises from the ice floor and the Naga Devourers slammed their bodies on the thick ice wall. But then, when the Naga Devourers raised their sword and slash it onto the thick ice, it then cracks and soon shatters.

"Shi- what should we do?" Li Ye panicked a little as he saw the monster once again, the monster that made them lost. "Well, we need to eliminate them as that is the best way possible." Cai Dinxiang then throws 6 consecutive Demonic fiery fireballs. And 6 consecutive explosion erupted.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The explosion created a black smoke and fiery flames upon impact and but the Naga Devourers were still alive. They slither towards the location of Cai Dinxiang and Li Ye, but then they halted by the two Swordsman.

Which has taken the offensive. On the other side Wen Xin have released his smoke, and it have halted the movements of the 3 Naga Salughterers now it gate time of Dai Lanfen to create 6 puppets and let them attack the 3 Naga Salughterers. Wen Xin also has release after the smoke is the insect that he knows.

With the toxic smoke that blinded and slowly suffocating the Naga slaughterer. After that the 6 puppets that were created from the ice floor appeared and materialized they then became Ice hammered puppets, and their first order was to charge forward. And because she created them on the material of ice, they were also faster in ice.

The Puppets began hammering down the 3 Naga Slaughterers. *CLING* CLANG* their trident and the hammer fought and clashed, but because of the sheer number of 6 puppets, 3 Naga slaughterers were being overwhelmed even though they have the sheer power.

The Naga Slaughterer roared in pain as the toxins have entered the body and running through all the veins of the Naga slaughterers. And with also in the addition of Dai Lanfen puppets.

Back in the middle, Zia Tengfei raised her staff and whispered, "Holy Blessing" she shouted and with those, a light shine upon everyone and their bodies release a sprinkle of divine light.

Slowly but surely, their fatigue suddenly relieved from the healing of Zia Tengfei. And they could go back and fight once more. Same with the vanguard that almost taken a lot of pressure and energy to fight the first wave and the second wave of monsters.

[back in the Barracks in Jelkala]

Jin has been wondering why is he always being hunted by his mother's death. Is it because of the sense of remorse that has been raging on for months on end as he was hiding because of shame that he watched his mother die being killed by a troll.

Jin sat on the bed and look on the floor. He thought of many things, and killing was not one of them to relieve what he was feeling. Every single mission since he entered the safe Zone Delta, and became a candidate. He was already feeling that kind of remorse in his heart.

But he remained quiet. But then it is hunting him now because, as he always tries to suppress that feeling, it became the pin that is slowly thrusting into his heart.

Jin clasped his hands and tried to think of things, but from what he have witness and what he has done, it is impossible for now to get over from the death of his mother.

Han Zian slowly washed his face and looked at the mirror and there he sees the sweet face of Qiao Jiao. He slowly tried to touch the mirror, but soon the image of Qiao Jiao fades. Han Zian tried to punch the wall, but he can't.

"Why her… Why creator Just give me an explanation why did she died. How did it happen?" Han Zian whisper as he knelt in front of the mirror while looking up at the ceiling.

Her tears been dripping continuously, her face was full of sadness that could only represent the deep pain he was having. The lost of a love one and the lots of a partner that have deepest connection with him.

"Creator, I want an explanation. I was a brave follower but now I dont know. Until now I am luckily I still have my faith strong enough to control Valiriel but soon I felt that I can no longer control such angel with this kind of faith I have." Han Zian gripped on the stone.
