Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Trail Blazing

After reaching the end of the spillway the group stopped the car. In front of them were more car barricades like the fort. They could already see dozens of goblins moving around eyeing them up.

"Should I ram them" Power asked?

"It'll be stupid easy. I can even use my new ice power to freeze them as we pass by."

"As much fun as that would be. We need to get to the boat fast. I was told the boat will set off in ren and we are fifteen minutes away. Lazy can you do anything about the barricades" Swift said while poking his head from the back.

"Depends. Are we making a lot of noise or as little as possible? Little noise will be slower, while lots of noise is faster. Although, I do spend more mana doing shit faster. I will also need someone to cover me."

"Loud and proud. We need to get there as fast as possible. What's your plan?"

"Well" Lazy started to chuckle. "I can have Nitro do another idea I had to cover me, but he'll need someone to hold a rope for him. I can use my power to turn two cars into two giant hands and just slap shit out of our way."

"Oh? Then what will Nitro do."

Nitro butted I'm yelling "it's a surprise stupid."

"Man you being so mean" Swift fake pouted.

"Fine you guys do whatever. I'll trust you guys."

Nitro and Lazy looked at each other and nodded.

Everyone besides Power got out to change seats. Lazy got up on top the SUV, Nitro curled up into the catapult, Grimm got into the passenger seat and Swift took up all the back seat leaving Tantrum furthest back.

"Okay Power. Can you make a small ice wall behind me so I don't go flying off?"

"Uhh sure. Give me a second."

Power quickly got out and created a thin ice wall as tall and wide as Lazy.

"There you go man."

He climbed back in and started up the SUV.

Rrrrrrrmmmmmm

The SUV sprang to life and drove off.

Nitro tossed Swift the end of a rope.

"You better not let go of that" he told Swift.

"Don't worry." He let go of it and grabbed it again.

"Hahahaha. Got ya ass. Got ya grass."

"Shut the fuck up" Nitro said quickly.

The group got close to the barricade and Lazy used his power to clear a path. Two car on their side started to float upwards.

Crunch crack

The cars started to break down and reform into two floating hands. Goblins started to scatter and shoot at both the floating hands and at Lazy.

Thumpt

The catapult fired sending Nitro into the sky. The rope was tethered to him. Being 40ft in the air her activated his wing suit Lazy gave him and started opening fire. Explosions went off on the balconies where goblins were firing from. Everyone's jaw dropped seeing Nitro flying asking "when the hell did he get that".

Lazy yelled explaining he gave it to him earlier but never had a chance to use it.

Power kept driving even running into goblins that would jump out and try to spear the SUV. These goblins would be sent flying into other cars or walls of buildings. Grimm was half out the window throwing his Light Spear wildly. Learning how to use the skill he missed a lot but when he did hit the spear would carry the goblin, hit another, and pin them both to a wall. He was glad to have a new attack skill.

Swift was using his new Tornado skill and launching tornados on either side behind the SUV. A tornado would travel along a path and pick up arrows and send them flying other directions. Some arrows would even hit other goblins. Tantrum was peacefully sleeping in the back. Nitro was using the wind off of the buildings to stay in the air while firing down. It was a sight to see. He was doing barrel rolls and dodging arrows shot by goblins and some from the tornados. He was raining hellfire down. Lazy was using the giant hands to clear a path and even slap some goblins around. Two berserkers charged at them but with a flick of the wrist they were sent flying by the hands.

"Power!" Lazy yelled "make an solid ice sphere!"

Power made one nearly 30ft in front of them. Lazy caught it with the metal hands. A long stretch of road was cleared of cars but was filled with nearly 50 goblins. He took the ice sphere and bowled it at the horde.

Crash

The sphere rolled through the crowd crushing most while some jumped out the way. The group laughed as it rolled but quickly stopped seeing the massacre they created. Even driving over it made the group a little queasy.

The further they got in the more goblins they faced. They didn't run into any chieftains or shamans but hundreds of goblins and berserkers. They even saw a couple of DinoGator riders.

From a distance the group could see the convention center. They saw other players shooting at goblins getting closer to them. They did their best to clear a path but as they got closer the group could tell they started to back off. The players ran to where they assumed the cruise ship was. They could see a couple of players wave their arms and point the direction they were running. Goblins started to climb up the barricade the players made only to be killed as soon as they reached the top. Like ants these monsters swarmed the barricades. 1 in every 3 thay made it to the top we're killed instantly. The group was nervous about making it to the ship.

"Why do we always have to lose our vehicle" Swift complained loudly.

"Im going to pull Nitro back!"

He woke Tantrum up and handed it part of the rope to bite as he quickly pulled nitro back in. Lazy launches the giant hands into the barricade splitting it open just enough for the SUV to make it though. Goblins were thrown everywhere as the hands smacked into the car barricades.

The sound of metal screeching along the road was loud. They even noticed some players were picking themselves off the ground. Power spun the car into the opening blocking it again. The gang jumped out the car and started running with the other players.

"Screw it" Swift said while cutting the rope.

"Nitro! Fly to the ship" he yelled to him.

"Oh fuck you" he yelled back.

The group ran into the convention center fighting the goblins that made it through. They also noticed that the players they were running with were only level 5 or 6. They slightly struggled to kill a goblin.

Topside, Nitro wasn't too high in the air and landed on the roof of the convention center. He turned around taking shots in every direction. He could see even more goblins like a swarm coming out of buildings and down roads as far as he could see. He quickly turned around sprinting on the roof to the other side.

Everyone made it to the other side and could see the ship. It was a huge cruise ship and had a large ramp where a couple players were still moving some busses on the ship.

"Cover the ship! We are almost done loading" someone yelled out!

Swift called the group to defend.

"Everyone get to the ship! We will cover you" he yelled out. Players ran past them. Behind them dozens upon dozens of goblins were breaking down doors and crashing through windows. Even some berserker goblins were breaking through walls to get to the players.

Nitro jumped off the roof and soared to the ship landing on top. Seeing his guild fight off he started to take shots at the horde.

Explosions went off as the group use their skills to stop the horde. Power used his ice walls to block holes and create a choke point for them to fight through. Grimm would dual cast his Light Spear in each hand throwing them without aiming down the choke point. Swift and Tantrum were sending waves and waves of Wind Blades down. Some even followed the spears pushing them even faster.

Lazy was using his new Chain Lightning skill. He would add an additional 50 mana to each strike killing dozens of goblins in the process.

Suddenly during the fight the group heard voices singing and felt ball of warmness coming from within them. Their attacks were boosted. Dealing even more damage them before. The voices were singing a war chat. The briefly looked behind them and saw 3 people standing on the edge of the boat.

One was a trans woman wearing a tight outfit, above her said.

Queen D Lv 19 Psionic Siren

Hp 300 Mana 470

Next to her was a dark skinned woman wearing a pearl white dress with a low V cut.

Moonlighter Lv 19 Psionic Musician

Hp 340 Mana 510

Between the two was a buff man without a shirt wearing robes on his hips and a Fluer-de-Lee necklace. His necklace was covered in black and gold gem stone. Even his beard was dyed black and gold. A top his bald head was a tattoo of Fluer-de-Lee.

SaintLord Lv 19 Psionic Light

Hp 500 Mana 490

These three players used their supportive skills to support the group.

They felt invigorated. Their skills were dealing even more damage and protecting the ship better. Powers Ice walls were freezing goblins trying to climb it. The Wind Blades were cutting through strike and goblins like paper. The lightning was spreading even further and cost slightly less. The Light Spears were larger and sharper piercing through the stone walls. Even Nitros attacks were better. Now launching 3 pieces of ammunition every attack created 3 explosions. Nitro quickly used his stronger attacks to cave in the ceiling to let his friends get to the ship.

"Buses are loaded! Get on the ship!" One of the dock workers yelled. Lazy grabbed Grimm and activated his new movement skill to get on quickly. Swift had a similar idea and shoved Power on to Tantrum, who snapped at him while getting on, and ran quickly next Power. Everyone hastily climbed the ship as it was pulling out of the dock. Power made more ice walls on the edge of the port to protect the ship.

The ship made it out and started to cruise up the stream towards the military base. The group laid on the ground catching their breath while the rest of the crew started cheering loudly.

The sim was blocked out of Lazys eyes as someone said.

"Bout time you made it Lazy Bones."
