A man in his forties was standing before Ethan, a sinister smile creeping across his face. He was wearing a fur coat, and it was obvious that he was part of a group not far from Ethan's position."What brings you here, little one?" the man asked, narrowing his eyes as he looked down at Ethan, who was much shorter than him."Hello, I'm Ethan," he said. "I'm here at Commander Teddy's invitation."Ethan jerked back his hand with a sharp "Tch!" as the man in front of him spat indignantly.Ethan smiled at the man's hostile behavior, for he had predicted it, just as Olivia had informed him. He was surprised at how many mindless individuals there were in the world and thought he needed to teach them manners. "It looks like it will be some pre-battle entertainment after this," he said."Hey, hey, hey, Andreas!" exclaimed one of them, "Isn't this the kid that went viral lately?""Wow!" replied Andreas, surprised. "But where's your baby-sitter?" The two other men, who looked similar to Andreas
In several places, dozens of people wearing jackets adorned with light fur encircled Ethan, hemming him in. Andreas and the other two who had previously tried to attack him were at the front of the group. Andreas, twirling his right hand as he walked, occasionally spat while he glanced at Ethan. "What do you think?" he asked. Ethan shrugged casually. "I think playing with all of you is so much fun. You're even too nice to bring your other friends along. I'm sure tonight's entertainment will be even more enjoyable," he replied. "Ethan Oppa, may I please help you? They are becoming more aggressive and I'm afraid something might happen to you," Olivia said, her voice laced with concern. "No, no. I can handle it, Olivia. You don't need to worry," Ethan replied in a relaxed manner. "Olivia, give me five minutes," Ethan said reassuringly. The people he had encountered before were certainly daunting, yet he knew they were still people, and he couldn't be sure of their intentions, as oth
The woman, who had fallen beside Ethan, then got up. She was wearing a pair of high-heeled combat boots with a mix of metal and leather, making her almost the same tall as Ethan. In her hand was a bright purple longsword, and she pointed it at Andreas. Ethan glanced at the woman. Her expression was vacant, her features soft and muted. She had a glazed look in her eyes that were like gold in the moonlight. The girl truly presented a sight to behold, a solid softness blended with the strength of sword and armor enveloping her body beneath her white-hued dress. She looked truly captivating with her wavy, wind-tousled hair. "Iris! Swords and Shields!" Andreas said immediately, still on alert. He continued, "I thought you didn't want to get involved in our business?" "Swords and Shields is the name of one of the alliances that are partaking in the night's attack," said Olivia. "The guild possessed enough strength to be reckoned with. Thus, it could pose a considerable problem for Andrea
Two minutes before the attack, a feeling of dread settled over the area. Everyone tensed up, anticipating the worst. "It's almost time," one soldier said, glancing at his watch. "Prepare yourselves," another replied grimly.[Ethan Lvl 17][HP: 1600/1600][MP: 10/10][Energy: 240/240][Willpower: 1600/1600][Weight: 2080/3360]Ethan checked his overall status once again. With his new status, he was able to stay in battle for a longer duration. The total Willpower he had enabled him to fight longer. Even though his Energy was still quite limited, he could conserve it with the Skills he had, which would not be a problem.Ethan stood a short distance away from the massive portal hovering in the air. He was fully equipped in his armor and held a hefty hammer.Ethan took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, trying to dissipate the tension that had built up from his conflict with the BeastMaster."Olivia?" Ethan called out her name through the small device attached to his ear."Ethan Oppa, don
The ground shook with a thunderous roar as the dragon descended from the sky, spewing fire and smoke billowing out of its wide nostrils. The players on the ground scrambled to take cover as the flames scorched past them, and the dragon continued to descend. The players on the ground had no time to prepare. They scattered, screaming in terror as the dragon spewed a stream of fire at them. "We need to get out of here!" shouted one of the players. "There's nowhere to run!" screamed another as the dragon circled around them, its long wings blocking out the sun. The dragon let out a menacing roar and opened its mouth, unleashing a stream of fire toward the players. They dove for cover as the flames engulfed their surroundings. Ethan quickly ran away, desperately trying to elude the massive, blazing flame that was rapidly approaching him. The dragon roared as it flew low, its flames engulfing the players in a sea of heat and destruction. The fire burned everything in its path, leaving
“Olivia!” Ethan shouted out Olivia's name again and again, his voice getting louder with each call. "I'm okay, Oppa!" Olivia replied with a trembling voice. "Don't push yourself, okay? We didn't come to this place to fool around. Especially since you are now fighting alone. I hope you will leave soon if you can't take it by yourself," Ethan insisted. "Understood, I won't put myself in danger," she replied. Knowing that the dragon could potentially cause more destruction if it remained in an area filled with people, Ethan decided to pursue it. Ethan sprinted past a number of people engaged in a fierce battle. Distressed cries filled the air as the colossal lizards ripped their opponents to shreds, causing some to surrender and lose their lives. Ethan shook his head vigorously, continuing to sprint forward. He knew he had to act quickly, for he had to help fight the dragon before the beast could fly into a densely populated area. "This monster-slaying seems never-ending," Ethan s
Ethan dashed, chasing after Olivia, as indicated by the radar in front of him. He had to dodge several colossal lizards that were slithering about, attacking other people or players. Ethan continued to keep a close watch on Olivia's health. Despite her outward optimism, her condition wasn't improving. "It doesn't look good,"Ethan leaped to his feet, not far from a dozen colossal lizards, and rushed the group, fiercely attacking them one by one. "Olivia!" exclaimed Ethan. She was alone in the midst of the giant lizards while Fang leaped around her, viciously attacking and swiftly retreating.Ethan was about to lend a hand when he noticed Olivia looking at him. "Give me five minutes," she requested, her voice urgent, "No, make it two!"A wide grin spread across Olivia's face, coating the dust that had settled on her skin. Her eyes narrowed as her black dress was now stained with a vivid red hue of blood.Olivia kept slipping away from Ethan's vision as a group of lizards came close t
Ethan's powerful hammer strike caused the enormous lizard to collapse onto the ground, rolling wildly as it went. Ethan stood firmly, clutching the hammer tightly in his grip. He then leaped forward in pursuit of the fleeing lizard. Ethan was about to swing his hammer when suddenly, another lizard dashed toward him, releasing a powerful stream of flames. Ethan raced to the ground, leaping away from the torrent of flames that pursued him. He dodged and weaved, desperately avoiding contact with the searing heat that could cause instant destruction. "This fire is more powerful than Rohan's," Ethan exclaimed. "The flames seem to be much more intense, and I can see molten lava bubbling up from underneath!" Ethan leaped into the air just in time, narrowly avoiding the two dragons that were jumping toward him in an alternating pattern. "So close!" he shouted as he flew away. “Hammer break!” Ethan tumbled onto the dragon's back and let loose a powerful punch, causing its massive body to
