Chapter 305: The Lightning Goddess

The gaming never stopped!

While kingdoms waged wars, players leveled up continuously. Some participated in wars, for their guilds had issued events. The new alliance of many kingdoms had also announced events with hefty rewards.

Thus, more and more people joined the brewing war.

And the battles over dungeon and leveling zones escalated to mini-wars.

Alex's friend faced hungry demons and villains in one of those small events.

His name was Josh, known in the game world as Sun Day.

He had leveled significantly during events, whether antagonist or his journeys. And with new experiences piled up, Josh was one of the important tanks in the kingdom's alliance…

Not only did he populate a new meta for tanks, Rider Meta, but he also had a particular horse from the high-level dungeon!

Josh was also a valuable piece, for he knew Tomo Homie for a long time. Like Tomo's other friends, he could follow his commands in battles seamlessly.

But for now, Josh was on a mission without his homies. He was in a newly formed party, tanking the hungry demons' attempt to seize their leveling ground zone.

BANG!

"We are winning!"

While Josh silently clashed with a few opponents at once, his guild members screamed sonatas of victory, for their forces had been winning against hungry demons and villains.

A few of them also came from Josh's party. And despite their big mouths, they worked closely with him, killing the hungry demons that were taunted by Josh.

Josh amiably smiled at them, "Thanks!" before urging his horse to reposition. His mount howled before nimbly and rapidly, bringing him to other enemies.

One of the rider's perks was that Josh could move fast on the battlefield. It went without saying that tanks had slow movement speed. But with mount, Josh had more defenses and privileges!

Many people who followed his meta also shared those privileges. No one was as proficient as Josh, though, for he had inexperience in riding the powerful wolf!

Still, it was true that Josh and his guild were winning!

Those were good news, yet everything changed when a man in red armor appeared, his laughter booming on the battlefield.

"Here I come, challengers!" Liam Wall announced his presence, grinning as his red eyes encompassed the whole front.

Josh nervously smiled, gazing back at the young man, "Now, we have a problem…

A legend has arrived."

The tides of the battlefield took a significant shift after Liam Walls' appearance.

He compelled hero players to focus on him, limiting their options severely with his sturdy armor and peculiar skills. He had heavy armor, immovable and sturdy, and great damage from his legendary sword.

He was a strong fellow, enabling hungry demons' feral instincts.

"Haha! Is there no one who can challenge me here?!" Liam Wall laughed, gazing at the falling players with a wide smile, enjoying his prowess and new challenges.

His forces had so much variety that he immensely enjoyed giving them freedom. There were villains, feral beasts, and immortal residents, all fighting with fear in their hearts, developed by the perfect, hungry demons known as the antagonists.

"This Rider looks like a real challenge," Liam Wall fixed his eyes on Josh, whose mount had been avoiding the legend's skills.

But with his entire focus on him, Josh had no way of eluding Liam Wall anymore.

'This is bad… We might fall here, too, Tomo…' Josh inwardly monologued, feeling as if the whole sky fell on his shoulders.

His mount felt the same, for Liam Wall used one of his signature skills to stop them.

Many hero players fell en masse around him, yet Josh couldn't even buy them a few more seconds.

And while everything seemed like another loss on the battlefield, the thunder howled in the area.

Liam Wall lifted his eyes naively, gazing at the blue sky, "No black clouds… What was that?"

A breath later, Liam Wall noticed some dots on the impeccable sky. Those dots became more prominent with each passing second, and then, their identity became known.

"Lightning bolts! She's here!" Liam Wall lifted his sword, clenching his weapon tightly, "Be careful! Their speed is not what you can see through normal eyes!"

He was right.

Those dots kept becoming bigger, their fall unavoidable. However, it seemed like everyone would be able to protect or at least dodge them.

Yet, when such thought dwelled within their hearts, the lightning bolts blinked, going through the heads of many hungry demons.

Liam Wall himself couldn't do anything other than repelling the skill with his sword. It took him around three seconds.

In this short time, more than two hundred hungry demons died.

Liam Wall became alone, surrounded by dead bodies that just now started turning into red particles. And as he looked forward, he saw a girl wearing a mask going his way while holding the blue spear.

Lightning sparks swirled around her; her eyes were red. Her late teenage curves were covered by a dark blue robe, matching her element's theme.

'We have information about her… But how come her eyes look so similar to the antagonists?' Liam Wall muttered inwardly.

He didn't know about hungry demons, for he was just a legend, one of many players that joined them. Of course, if he developed a profound fear, he would become one of them.

But with his personality, it didn't seem like such a thing would happen unless Liam Wall experienced a tremendous change.

"Heh," Liam Wall grinned, baring his sword, "A real challenge!"

His red armor pulsed with mana, becoming one with Liam Wall's body. It heated, generating more mana, boosting Liam Wall's defenses and offensive power.

The Lightning Goddess ignored his declaration, not paying attention to his words or change. Even if this man produced immense and impregnable mana, she would still fight him.

She narrowed her red eyes, holding a spear with one hand, "You don't have any borrowed power within you, dickhead.

Your defenses are akin to a paper before me," The Lightning Goddess' sharp words slapped Liam Wall's grinning face, erasing his smirk.

She took a position to throw a thrust, the system messages swarming her eyes.
