The two players on the bridge got side by side to deal with the spiders as Tantrum was handling the Goblins. They were surprised not to see any berserkers. Just goblins. Swift kept sending wind blades and tornados to protect them.
"Where the fuck are those two" he yelled!
"We need back up."
"I have no idea. I'll go check."
Grimm quickly ran to the edge of the bridge. He looked down to see Lazy and Power standing next to each other and then quickly rising up from ice walls bellow them.
"Their on their way!" Grimm then looked directly out down the river and the boat wasn't far from the bridge.
"Boat will be here in a couple minutes! Just need to stick together till then" Grimm yelled back!
He made his way back to Swifts side.
"Just a couple minutes and the raid will be over."
"Good I'm so over this BS."
The two used their offensive skills to make some room around them. Other holes popped up as the swamp spiders chewed their way through on both sides. They poured out like water. Goblins were covered in spiders dead or desperately trying to get them off. The sounds of goblins and spiders alike screeching as they attacked one another. Swift had to maintain a watch on Tantrum. He was by himself thrashing around against both
Goblins and Spiders. When he pounced and tackled a goblin he and the goblin would be covered in spiders. He would then deathroll squishing the spiders. He would be covered I spider guts and bites. Thankfully the spiders weren't poisonous. Swift would use his wind aura to keep the spiders away as him and Grimm would launch Light Spears and Wind blades.
Before the two noticed Power and Lazy were jumping off part of an ice wall down to the bridge. Grimm ran over to Lazy, he noticed his arm was in a sling and ice covered it holding it in place.
"What happened! Your arm is shattered! I'll have to heal you daily for a while!"
Before Lazy could speak Power interrupted him.
"He fucking fisted that Spider Queen! She bit back though! Hahahaha"
Lazy just smiled and shook his head.
"When I lunched down I shoved my arm down her throat and sent off a powerful chain lighting frying her insides. He bit down and sprayed acid. Why my hand is like this. Power got the finishing kill."
Power flexed saying "Ice for the win."
Swift was protecting the group with Wind Blades while Tantrum was doing his best to swipe the spiders off his back. Swift ended up leaving the side of his group to get on Tantrum and active his Wind Aura. The spiders flew way as they both used more Wind Blades to cut them mid air. Power was defending Lazy and Grimm. He was using his ice aura and ice wave to clean spiders and goblins alike. Grimm healed all he could with his skill.
"That's all I can do. I was right before. You will need daily healing to fix your shattered arm. A week. Two tops. Can you still fight?"
Lazy looked down at his arm in a sling with minor frost around it to keep it together. He used 4 of his 6 lightning blades to come together to form an arm connected to his right shoulder. He flexed it and moved it around.
"Just like new. Yeah I should be fine. What's everyone's mana and health level!? I have half health and about thirty percent mana left!"
"I got eighty health and little less then thirty percent mana" Grimm said.
"Tantrum has half health, I have little more and we are both close to running out of mana."
"I'm almost full health but my mana is less then ten percent!" Power called back while bashing his shield into a goblin that was lunging at him.
Grimm looked back and the Boat was nearly to them.
"Five minutes! Boat will be here!"
"How did the support look" Swift called out to Power?!
"The boat will break it all. It's barely holding. I think tons of spider webs are what's actually keeping it together!"
The group fought on. They only needed to fight for another 5 minutes and survive. It was an unending horde of monsters. Spiders attacking goblins, goblins fighting both spiders and players. The group thought it was strange they haven't seen any high level enemies yet.
Grimm stayed close to Power as his ice aura froze spiders that got too close. He would heal the group as he could while using light spear to kill a goblin or too. Swift and Tantrum stopped using most abilities, besides wind aura, and used their weapons, claws and teeth to kill. Lazy was the only one having an easier time. He fused his last two lightning blades together to make a shield. He would control the shield to block an attack; the shield would then turn into a saw blade and cut the attacker in half. With his lightning arm he would move in ways a normal arm couldn't to attack. He would have the hand jet out forward only to miss the target and unnaturally bend 90 degrees to kill the target.
THUOOMP
The group heard a whistling sound as something big flew through the air at an alarming speed.
"G-guys…" Grimm said quietly. They all turned to him seeing a spear impaled him.
THUOOMP
Another one pierced him. The first was through his gut while this one was through his chest. He was gasping for air as panic set in. His eyes were widened as he knew he was dying. Lazy and Power rushed over. Power created an ice wall just as a third spear launched at them. It pierced through the ice wall but got stuck. By the time the two reached him he was dead, held up by the two spears stuck in the floor. They all looked over seeing a Hob Goblin standing 2ft taller then the rest. It was in dark thin metal armor holding a great bow and spears on its back.
Gubu Headhunter lv 67
Hp 22,000 Mana 4,000
"A named en-"
Before Swift could finish calling out to the group he felt a sharp pain on his left side. He looked over seeing a new goblin with its knife stabbing him. It was in black leather armor and a hood.
Jubu DarkBlade lv 63
Hp 20,000 Mana 6,000
Lazy sent his lightning blades at Jubu. As soon as they were about to touch, Jubu jumped back and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Two named enemies both above level sixty?! This is going to suck so much ass. Swift you doing okay?"
Swift was gripping his side as blood was coming out.
"No! That bastard used a skill for me to bleed out." He checked his health and watched it as he slowly lost 2 points of health every second. "I got maybe two minutes till I'm dead. Man this fucking hurts. Grimm dead?"
Power was pulling Grimm off the spears to throw on his shoulder.
THUOOMP THUOOMP
More spears hit the ice wall. It began to crack.
"Grimms dead! No more healing!" Power yelled out. "I can make two more ice walls and keep my aura for one more minute. That will buy use time but that fucking sneak boy is around here."
Swift was now laying on Tantrum unable to fight as well.
"I'm out too. If I try fighting I'll bleed out faster. Lazy can you keep Jubu at bay?"
Lazy hesitated before speaking.
"Um…sure? I can try something."
The spiders were finally backing off and staying under the bridge. The named goblins let off a pressure that forced them back. Even with only the goblins and players on the bridge the normal goblins didn't rush to attack the players.
"Looks like the big boys want a crack at us" Power said while setting up another wall between them and Gubu. "These aren't generals or even warlords. Think they are minions for them? If so that changes the world event. It's now even harder then before."
"Shut it. I'm trying to focus" Lazy said while taking step away from the group. He walked towards the goblins that were on the same side as them behind the ice wall.
{Astap you there? Can you sense this goblin?}
She was silent.
{No. He is using a skill to his himself. Send your blades out around you. I'll try to sense him in the electrical field.}
Lazy stood still and had all his blade flu out up to 10ft around him and circled him. He waited a few seconds.
{Behind you! Left side! Quickly!}
Power and Swift watched as Lazy wildly turned aprons outstretching his left hand. They couldn't believe what they saw. Jubu became visible as he stabbed his knife through Lazys good hand. He used all his strength to keep himself up as this goblin pushed harder. Before even Jubu could realize the lightning blade were reshaped into jagged blade and thrusted into the goblin. Lazy forced his hand to grab the goblin with the blade in his hand, pulled him close and didn't let go.
"Power!! Bubble us!!"
Using the last of his mana he put Lazy and Jubu in a hollowed ice sphere. Inside the goblin was thrashing around. He pulled out a second knife with his free hand and was rapidly stabbing Lazy. Thankfully he used his already shattered hand to block the blows. He used his lightning blades to reshape them into saws and unleashed them on the goblin. He activated all his skills. Used his Psionic Lightning melee on his blades to deal more damage, casted chain lighting through the knife hurting the goblin and himself. Thankfully he had his passive skill to absorb health. It wasn't powerful to negate all the damage he took but it did help heal form the damage he was taking from the goblin.
From the outside Power and Swift could hear the goblin screaming and bright flashes of light from Lazys lightning. Behind them more spears were been shot into the ice wall. All but the last wall was broken.
THUOOMP THUOOMP THUOOMP
The last ice was starting to crack and pieces were falling off.
TOOOOT TOOOOT
The two looked and saw the boat. A rope latter was hanging off the side of it as it crashed through the bridge. The entire bridge shook as the boat crashed into it. Wood was thrown everywhere. Tantrum and Power had to keep their balance as the bridge started to break and fall. Power held Grimm over his shoulder as he jumped towards rope latter catching it. Tantrum used the last of its mana to create a wind tornado under it to carry itself and Swift to the top of the boat. Power deactivated his ice sphere for Lazy.
BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOM
Explosions went off in every direction around them.
"You mother fuckers!"
It was Nitro.
