In the distance I saw a cloud of dust rising, the ground began to shake.
"GET READY," yelled the Commander.
[Ding...New quest started]
[Quest 1: Survive the Demon Tribe Invasion]
[Quest 2: Kill at least 20 demons]
[The rewards will be distributed at the end of the invasion, in case of failure the system will stop your heart].
"Bullsh*t what's that again? »
I had planned to hang back and kill a demon or two to gain experience, but it looks like I'm going to have to get involved if I want to survive. Seeing the huge mass of demon I tell myself that at least the potential victims would not miss.
The two armies collided, the soldiers in height firing enormous energy balls from the cannons placed on the wall. I find myself in the middle of it all, trying somehow to find my way through all these bodies, in all this energy that comes from all directions. Sometimes I see a shadow pass at full speed carrying with it the head of a dozen demons.
The shock wave of a huge collision suddenly hit me. I looked up and saw a firebird in battle with some kind of lich perched on an airborne bone whale. An evil green flame burned deep within the lich's empty eye sockets. The same flame burned in the center of the whale.
I saved my God of War skill just in case for an emergency.
"Equip Hermes Boots"
[Hermes Boots equipped]
Instantly I felt lighter, my speed doubled and I dodged in a spiral thanks to my second skill the dagger stretched towards my chest and took the opportunity to tear off the zombie head.
[Ding...You killed a rank F zombie +20 EXP]
His body crumbles in front of me, I step over him and hurriedly bend down, dodging a slash from an imp. Between attack and defense, I somehow manage to dance between the attacks aimed at me. With each attack that I receive, my body takes the reflex to return one.
[Ding...Snake Dodge has been upgraded to level 2]
From then on, dodging was much easier, my stamina was better managed, level two allowed tighter dodges, faster and with less effort. Quick dodge and stab counterattack, bodies fall behind me, I became the F-grade reaper and got my fifth kill [Ding...You leveled up]
[6 free stat points + a free lottery draw]
"add 3 points to vitality and 3 points to agility"
What I needed most now was stamina and better dodge. More force was useless because I was already able to penetrate their defense without problem. Immediately I feel my fatigue swept away, my body more agile, faster and I feel it less reluctant to make certain twisting movements.
What I didn't expect was that the wave of easy-to-kill zombies is over and now I'm dealing with chimeras, some sort of hard-skinned lab product. I easily dodge his attacks but no matter where I hit my dagger does not penetrate. After 15 strikes in different places I feel discouraged.
"System triggers the lottery and just informs me of the result"
[Triggering the lottery]
I wait 1 long minute, 1 minute dodging deadly strikes from the chimera in front of me. Eventually, [Ding...You got Athena's Eye]
[Description: Athena is a goddess specialized in war strategy, her eyes are very useful because they allow to see the weaknesses of the enemies as long as they are not higher than two rank above the user].
Immediately I felt pain in my eyes which almost cost me my life. After the pain passed, a target like that of a sniper sight aimed at a certain point of the chimera, just below the spine. Dodging once again the tireless strikes of the chimera, I passed him behind and hacked at the indicated point.
Suddenly black blood spurted out and the chimera collapsed like a doll whose threads had been cut.
[Ding...You killed a demonic chimera +30 EXP]
With the eye of Athena, everything was easier. I knocked down another 5 chimeras before I ran out of energy and had to temporarily retreat. 1 more and I could level up. Sitting back I take the opportunity to look at my status:
