Chapter 7 - Fight

"The 50th wave was a complete nightmare…"

"Gigantic comets came out that spit fire and were completely immune to anyone under the S class…. I still have nightmares about being one of the last leaders fighting the plague at that point…"

"The plague was already beginning to spread rampant in the city and people were killing each other for sport as the virtual vultures constantly descended… Then there was your mother…" Clark patted Tony on the head as he ate dirt underneath Ray's foot… "She died because she gave birth to you…"

"Ugh, despicable swine!" Tony finally got up and spit as the portal timer reached zero, causing the bright shinning portals in the distance to split open and become white. Out of the portals, large sail boats appeared and started heading towards City Z as Tony suddenly got scared.

He obviously didn't want to have to fight on this field if he didn't have to! He ran towards the city as quickly as he could, causing Ray to laugh as he opened his command panel…

He had control of over 1000 soldiers, and many of them he drank with and even helped their mothers make a few of them! Ray was over 60 years old and had grey hair with black emerald eyes. He was wearing a set of level 25 armor with a metal fist on his hand known as a 'fire gauntlet'. That was one of the metals that Clark would be the first to steal off of his dead corpse…

"Heh… get your eyes off my gear Clark… You happy with your start this time?"

"Happy as I can be with three beautiful girls…. However, I had to go to the slime pits… It still smells horrible there!"

"Heh… Well, good luck this wave! Looks like we'll be facing black boars this time… D rank…"

Clark smiled as he saw a black boar image appear on the right side of his vision.

[Black Boar] (x 3000)

Level 5

Strength: 20

Speed: 40

Defense: 20

Rank: D

Skills: Rampage

[Rampage – increases damage of basic attack by 10 when their health is below 10 percent.]

"Yup, doesn't look like they'll be too hard to overcome…" Clark made the girls begin running to the front lines as Ray commanded a few hundreds of his soldiers to follow them…

"However, I really need to talk to you about Abe… Rhinoceros over there apparently has been hiding a treasure from us…"

"Oh?" Ray crossed his arms and looked over at Abe. "Well, I guess we're going to have to deal with him then. How did your numb nuts find out something like that?"

"Nadia… She's cute right?" Clark smiled as his two girls got ready to engage the hundreds of boars charging towards their city… "I really hope they last until the 100th wave…"

"You think this nightmare ever ends?"

The waves, as legend said, would keep lasting until someone made it to the 100th wave, which would cause a series of events that would apparently change the core of Xaver.

The core was in the center of the twenty six cities, and was a place that no one from the twenty six cities was allowed to enter. The legend went further and said that the center of the core would open up and the world would change forever if all hundred waves were beaten…

However, all Clark had on his mind right now was surviving the current wave.

Hundreds of boars slammed into the front line of soldiers as Ray suddenly turned serious. He had a screen with hundreds of circle (O), and ex (X) markings on it that were for different types of soldiers.

His hands began to move around the screen nimbly as Clark commanded his girls form a triangle in the center of dozens of boars…

One gigantic boar, nearly three meters tall, charged directly at them as Grey used Nemesis and turned to the side… One of the things that Clark realized along time ago was that boars weren't good at turning.

Hence, this was a great strategy.

He had Grey use nemesis as Nadia used fire slash on its legs, causing the gigantic black boar to fall over and slide into the dirt. It squeeled in agony as hundreds of spears were tossed into its back from the soldiers.

Blood shot up into the air as more and more boars of various sizes stormed the soldiers…

As for the guards, as usual, a few were even throwing tomatoes at Clark because they were still moody about what he did to Ray and Ark. Still, he'd much rather piss them off over and over again then deal with their bullshit.

[Nadia Exp + 50]

[Nadia has leveled up to level 7!]

[Nadia gained one skill point!]

[Clark Exp + 30]

[Clark has leveled up to level 3!]

Clark smiled and stopped thinking about it. He had a battle focus on and made a cut throat gesture at a few of the guards. Later, he'd show them what he did to little insects who hid behind their 'shell'.

If the guards only fought on the battlefield, they'd probably be able to clear this up without losing any soldiers… Still, at this very moment, he turned to his right as two horns from the boar impaled a young man and sent blood out of his back…

Ray winced and screamed "Shit!" as three even younger soldiers shot javelin into the boars back as their friends health dropped to one…

"Aria! Heal him!" Clark screamed as more and more boars rushed towards the walls, trying to bypass the soldiers and get to the line of leaders and commanders.

The creatures also had a ton of instincts and were actually very smart. D class creatures like this black boars would have around a toddler's amount of intelligence, but even toddlers knew when someone was important…

Still, at this time he once again reflected on the 50th wave and the monstrous comets that shot out fire balls at screaming children like it was their delight in life…

The flashback caused him to miss a chance to kill a boar as Nadia jumped over three small angry boars with black skin. They had red eyes that were staring forward at the wall, and long ivory horns.

Regardless, he cast healing touch on the downed soldier before he turned over to his right and looked at another soldier bursting out with blood…

He shook his head and cursed at himself for not being more powerful…. Even though he was a hard nut on the exterior he actually was sort of soft on the inside…

[Grey + 30 experience]

[Grey has leveled up to level 6!]

"Hey… stop being so hard on yourself… You can't save everyone Clark…"

"I'll find a way…"

Clark returned his attention to the field and had Grey run in front of a group of soldiers and use Nemesis on another large black boar. She once again ran at an angle which made it fell over before she used the same tactic on another boar…

The supreme system that tabulated experience would give him his fair share as long as he was involved in the kill.

Still, he had to admit it was fun again to be back at the beginning.

He had Nadia, Aria, and Grey team up on a few dozen more black boars before a large din sounded through the field… It was time for the boss….

"Well, that sucked… Looks like your mother isn't the boss this time…" Ray knew that Clark was an orphan and was just messing with him. "Heh… Does she have three heads or five?"

"Heh… Let's just slaughter these pigs so we can eat… Doesn't there burning flesh smell good?"

"I'll drink to that tonight!"
