Chapter 35 - Game or Hell (4) (1/2)

D'vina's face was dead serious while facing the swarm of monsters.

Tens of monsters were lying around her in pieces, killed by her sword. Mana circulated through her body activating her skills when necessary.

Unfortunately, she was forced to save as much mana as possible; after all, the final goal of this game was probably a level five queen brooder, so she could not use all her mana before facing it.

Despite it, her attacks were equally deadly. With the exception of the level four, no other monster was able to take one of her attacks and continue alive.

The situation, however, was worsening quickly. The number of monsters attacking increased with every second and the danger they were facing grew with it.

Of course, for someone at D'vina's level, the danger was minimum. She was confident about killing all the monsters given enough time. Unfortunately, her skills were not suited to defense, and though she could guarantee her safety, she could not do the same for the people around her.

The only thing she could do was to kill more monsters and hope that Aleen and the others can survive if she let one pass her defense.

Normal creatures would have escaped after seeing so many of their kin killed, but brooders were different.

For brooders, dying wasn't a problem. Their only mission in life was to serve their queen, without caring about life or death, the queen was able to give birth more subordinates easily after all.

Because of it, the monsters continued attacking crazily, without fear of being killed by D'vina sword. The number of corpses grew quickly.

But with the increasing number of monsters, the safety zone around D'vina continued reducing.

Four minutes later, the monsters' attacks began to graze the people being protected and Aleen was forced to help to defend.

"Damn it!" Aleen cried while enduring the pain on his thigh. With the increase in the number of monsters he had to fend, more wounds began to appear on his body.

Though the wounds were small, Aleen knew that each new wound will take a toll on his stamina.

The most troublesome thing though, was that Aleen discovered that his skill was practically useless in this situation.

After all, 'Lightning Rush' was a skill that worked accelerating the user's speed manifold in a straight line. But in the current situation, using the skill means leaving D'vina protection and rushing to the middle of the swarm, and Aleen knew that he would be unable to endure the attacks of tens of monsters for a second if he does it.

Due to it, Aleen was forced to forget about using the skill.

Aleen could not help but think that his skill was more useless than he thought.

Shaking his head, he forced these thoughts outside his mind and concentrated on fending the monsters.

Lowering his stance, he thrust his sword towards a monster's claw and pushed it away. His skills thrusting with the sword had increased slightly thanks to using it repeatedly. Aleen felt less awkward using it with every passing second.
