"Are you kidding me?! This is a raid now" Grimm said with annoyance.
"Yeah but the raid is only fifty minutes" Power said "we did the fort raid and that took us days. This should be easy."
Lazy turned back to the group. "So….I think I'll need some help. Swift you down?"
"Yup. I agree this is harder and you'll need some help. Want to just each get a side?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Are we still staying in the boat? Same plan of me freezing everything while Grimm supports? I probably don't need it if you want him up there with you guys."
Lazy and Swift went silent as they both thought for a second. Swift was the first to speak.
"I'm not sure. We won't really be able to protect you while you're up there. I think you should stay on the boat and just light spear those that do notice you guys."
"Ah okay" Grimm was a little disappointed he couldn't join the fun.
[Lazy. There is a large force of goblins. There numbers range in the thousands. Are you planning to take them all on?]
Lazy was surprised to hear from Astap. It's been a while since he talked to her.
[ Uh-yeah. Well we are just going to break it and clear a path for the cruise ship we were on. I haven't heard from you in a while. Are you doing okay? Have any other suggestions?]
[ Yes. I've been trying to regain memory. If you are able to get me a body I should remember more, but I have remembered something. My people are on another land. That is about all I remember. As for your plan. I believe you should be careful. I sense Goblin Knights and Mages nearby.]
[ A different land? Do you know where or how long it took to get to where we were? Knights and mages? That won't be too bad.]
[ I do remember it took me a month to travel across large water to get there.]
[Ah. Okay. Well, you can go back to sleep. I'll handle this and talk after.]
He didn't hear her reply. He started to think to himself.
[ Goblin knights and mages aren't too bad just tricky. Wait a second. If it took her a month to travel from wherever to where I met her…that means this isn't the game but an actual real world. It was here before we were. Or are the things in the game actually living being when we played? Or was she a new world event start? Fuck. I'll have to bring this up with the guys after. Have to actually introduce her to them.]
Lazy turned back to the group as the were approaching the bridge.
"I have a feeling we'll have to face some mew goblins. Knights, mages, generals maybe. Gut feeling. So let's be vigilant Swift"
Swift nodded and climbed on top Tantrum.
"You able to get up there quickly or need a ride with me?"
"I have an idea" Lazy said with a smile.
Sploosh Sploosh Sploosh Sploosh Sploosh
As the group was getting closer to the bridge arrows started to fall from the sky. Not very accurate but numerous.
"Okay boiys it's go time" Swift yelled while sending tornados into the sky! It caught arrows and sent them flying away.
The if the tornado wasn't there the crew and boat would be riddled with arrows. Swift was sending a tornado every few seconds just to block the arrows coming for them. Some hit the boat but bounced off the armor plating. If Trident didn't add that the boat would have popped a long time ago.
The boat made it way beneath the bridge.
"Race you to the top" Swift yelled! He launched a tornado up to the top, him and Tantrum jumped in it and was carried to the top.
"Check this out" Lazy said to the other two.
He summoned his new lightning blades and turned them into floating stairs. He started to run up them. The last one would quickly fly to the top and be the next step. He made his way up to the top.
"Okay that's just cheating" Power said with a laugh.
"Well let's take care of this and go up them after" Grimm said whole patting him on the back.
"Yeah your right."
The two guys looked at the shoddy work that was done. The bridge was made with entire tree trunks jammed into the ground. Support beams were tied together with vines and dried mud. There was even moss growing on it. They looked further in and saw webbing holding some together.
"Fucking spiders. This is going to suck Power."
He started to chuckle and looked at Grimm.
"Hahaha there are spiders fucking or Fucking comma spiders."
"With you go in and find out! Hope you get fucked. I hate spiders!"
SPLOOSH SPLOOSH
Dead goblins started to fall off the bridge and land in the water.
"Looks like they are having fun. Shall we?"
Power said as he used his Ice Wave to cause jagged ice spikes piece the mud hold and some webs. Grimm summoned a Light Spear and threw it into the ball of mud. He missed. It went soaring pasted into the darkness of webs. As it past they could see was thousands of hairy baseball sized orbs. As the spear struck into a pillar all the orbs started move reveling hundred of thousands of tiny red eyes.
"How the fuck did you miss that giant ice mud ball!"
Grimm was silent.
"Fine I'll do something"
Power used his ice wall to make platforms around the boat. The boat was not stuck but the two guys had more room.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh" Grimm started to yell as he rapidly created and threw Light Spears. He was like a machine gun with the spears. They weren't accurate, but each spear would always hit a dozen or more spiders.
Swamp Spider Lv 6
Hp 100 Mana 20
The spiders moved like a tidal wave of pincers and legs. Grimm was terrified by the sight. As the horde got closer Power used two skills, Ice Aura and Ice wave. As the spiders got closer they would all freeze solid as soon as they reached the aura surrounding Power. His ice wave would cut them all down into pieces while also breaking some of the support beams to the bridge. Grimm moved to be closer to Power and used his Shadow Strike to and Light Spear in combination. His shadow would come to life and throw a spear, he would keep scribing these skills over and over. It was like two of him were doing damage. Power was actually surprised by his action. During the fight they broke a few support beams but not enough to actually break the bridge. Power kept his ice aura going, freezing everything while protecting himself and Grimm.
"I'll go underneath and break them with my hammer!"
Power jumped off the boat and started to slide on the ice towards the beams. He would use his ice wall skill to create a ground for him to slide on. He would position himself to use his hammer and Psionic Strength to start breaking the mud balls. He quickly shattered them to pieces. Each hit would shake the bridge a little but still not enough.
"Power look out!"
WHACK
Power was sent flying towards the water but quickly created an ice wall. He slammed into leaving a huge indent in the side of it. He still had his aura active and froze a lot of spiders as he flew. He looked up and his attacker chased him and only stood a few inches way was a woman's face. She was beautiful. She had deep red eyes contrasting her extremely pale skin and long dark grey hair. She started to lean in closer opening her mouth. Her mouth split open vertically down the chin revealing a large spider maw. Power quickly ducked out the way as she hit the ice wall.
Demi Spider Queen lv 32
Hp 2,000 Mana 800
Grimm was still dealing with the other spiders that were making their way to them. Power looked at this Demi Queen. She wasn't a full queen yet. The torso up was a woman but below that was a spiders legs and abdomen.
"I don't know if I should like this or hate it" Power yelled!
"Well I fucking hate it all!"
"Okay well you get out of here. I'll handle this. Tell them what's going on"
Power used his ice wall to make stacks on stacks of them under Grimm shooting him up to the top.
"What?! No-"
Grimm tried to stop him but was already being sent up. He reached the top seeing countless dead goblin bodies scattered. Swift and Tantrum were covered in goblin blood on one side while Lazy was fighting a dozen Goblin knights. He started to heal the two. They turned and saw him and were little surprised.
"Power is fighting a Demi Spider Queen. Someone needs to help him!"
