Nitro stood atop the cruise ship raining down his new skill; Psionic Fire: Explosive Area. He saw his group heavily beaten with more goblins moving in. As the boat was slowly making its way through the bridge he and other players were covering the Guilded Losers. Moon, Queen and Saint were all singing and granting bonuses to everyone. Nitro looked down and saw Power carrying Grimm up the latter while Tantrum floated up with Swift. He looked around and saw Lazy and Jubu falling into the pit of the bridge. He quickly opened his wing suit and jumped off.
He used his new skill Psionic Fire: Explosive Aura. He was able to stay in the air by creating small explosions around him.
Lazy and Jubu were fighting in mid air. Nitro saw this and quickly flew after them. Jubu threw a dagger at Nitro but he quickly spun in a circle and dodged it. Lazy our stretched his semi good hand. Nitro flew down dodging debris and caught Lazy. Nitro landed on a piece of falling debris, bent his knees and launched himself off of it back to the boat. He used a small explosion to get back to the boat. As they were flying away two daggers were thrown imbedding themselves in Lazys chest.
He screamed out in pain with curse words and slurs at the goblin. He sent all his blades to make a sphere around Jubu and casted chain lightning with the last of his mana. The lightning arced from blade to blade around Jubu. Lightning struck him from every
direction as he fell to his death.
"Take that fucker!"
Lazy was yelling at Jubu as he was slowly dying.
"Can you make it" Nitro asked?
"Doubt it. These two daggers are slowly having me lose blood. If I take them out I'll be dead before we get there"
THUOOM
A spear with rope tied to it flys past the two.
They looked over and saw Gubu and 4 other Hobgoblins with great bows next to him. They all fired wildly into the side of the cruise ship with rope arrows. They would toss the rope to goblin berserkers and normal goblins. In a blink of the eye they shot over a dozen arrows at the boat with little more then half piercing the haul.
"THEY ARE TRYING TO TIE US DOWN OVER HERE" someone yelled out from the other side of the boat.
"The fuck they are" Nitro yelled out.
He dropped Lazy down with the rest of the group before flying away. Lazy slowly died by his friends. Power placed Lazy, Grimm and Swift all side by side. Tantrum was nudging at Swift to wake up.
"Nitro you got this" Power called out as Nitro flew to the top of the ship?!
"Just cover me" he yelled back!
"I'm out of mana though!"
Nitro ignored him and looked out at the battle field. On one side was Gubu with berserkers on both sides shooting spears from great bows into the ship. It was still breaking its way through the bridge but at a much slower pace. Power called Nitro over voice chat.
"What's the plan man? I got no mana left."
"I'll blow them all up to smithereens if you get other people to cut the ropes or un lodge the spears."
"Will do!"
Power started to gather players who were fighting back ordering them around. He ordered everyone with ranged weapons to start shooting at the goblins climbing up while he and the other melee fighters start to cut the ropes and un lodge the spears. Players were running above and below deck trying to get the spears out or to cut the rope. Archers and other players with guns were shooting the goblins climbing the sides of the boat. Goblins fell to the bridge riddled with bullets or arrows before falling further down into the abyss.
While Power and the other players were making sure the ship can move, Nitro was standing on top the ship. He had two P-90s he borrowed from other players in each arm.
He aimed at the berserkers on both sides and opened fired.
BBBBBBBRRRRRRTTTT
BOOM BOOM BOOM
He was unloading all his rounds and using every skill he could to create as much destruction as possible. Each bullet multiplied and exploded on impact. Every goblin wasn't torn to shreds. In the chaos Nitro lost sight of Gubu. He unloaded both magazines of his weapons clearing a path. Nothing remained. More goblins kept running back to try to stop the ship but why were too far away to do anything. The ship was able to carve a hole through the bridge.
More players at the back of the ship were taking pot shots at the goblins standing at the edge of the bridge. Nitro flew back down to meet up with Power. They were still in the raid zone before their friends would respawn. Saint was running around doing a head count and trying to keep the boat afloat. Queen D was tending to the wounded while Moon went to check in on the fallen members of The Guilded Losers.
"How much longer till we are out of the raid" she questions Power?
"No idea. The raid was only to escape the bridge or get past it, whatever. So hopefully they will come back soon."
Nitro landed next to the two of them.
"We better fucking level up from that. I used a lot of skills and ammo on those fuckers."
"You did son! Haha. Where did you get those guns though? I thought you had different guns."
"Oh these?" Nitro started to show off his new weapons.
"I was originally going to steal them from the vault or whatever, but the restrictions didn't allow me. So I traded them. Swift said we were going to have snipers with us for a time so I got rid of mine for these."
"Ah. Gotcha. Well least it all worked out."
After ten minutes of travel and waiting. The raid clear sign appeared over everyones head and distributed experience points to all those involved.
Lazy, Swift and Grimm all respawned and hugged each other cheering for their victory. Swift was also tackled by Tantrum, licking his face. Everyone in the group managed to gain quite a few levels. Lazy and Swift leveled up to 45, Grimm and Power were 44 with Nitro becoming 43.
(Author notes)
Hey everyone. Sorry this chapter came out so late. Work life has gotten busy. I do have a few announcements. This will be the last chapter I'm writing on this app. I will be transferring to StaryWritting.Com
I have a few chapters out but I will be rereleasing everything. It will all be edited and slightly longer. I have also started a Patreon. Everyone that donates gets to be a named character in this series. I also have a discord tied to the Patreon and eventually want to do a DND campaign with Patreon's. It would be a hand crafted world by myself for a bi-weekly event. Have a couple tiers to chose from. Can go to Patreon.Com/LazyAbyss. I have other series on this app; Creeptarium and World Cultivation. One is a more mature monster pet series and the other is a isekai drama about world building. I do plan to write other series and Patreon's will get to be named characters. Thanks for reading and hope to see you all around.
