Chereads / Invictus: Hero From The Shadow / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 First Wave

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 First Wave

In Kaley's mind, the monster would come with an easy logarithm. They will come one by one. However, Kaley's understanding of what was happening before his eyes was now horribly wrong.

In a wave, the monsters immediately attacked blindly. They seemed unconcerned with what was in front of them. Their main goal is to destroy the village.

"How crazy! This is completely unexpected! Will we be able to handle all this? They really are too many!"

Nagita was really hysterical when she saw hordes of monsters flocking to attack the village gate. Amid the panic experienced by Nagita, the guards showed different eyes. Even though they weren't many in number, no fear appeared in their eyes. They looked completely confident that they could withstand the monster's attack.

"I'd almost be scared like Nagita if these guards didn't show their courageous determination. This is the real world. This world is not a game and I have to be aware of that. I have to survive too. Giant boar, prepare yourself! We will repulse them!" Kaley ordered excitedly after seeing the confidence of the village guards.

"Roar…!"

With his current position, Kaley couldn't help but think hard. With him now as a tamer, he has the support skill for his main DPS, Giant Boar. On the other hand, there were only three guards who could help him. A mage, a swordsman, and also an archer.

"I'll take over the command! Swordman will be assisted by an archer when attacking incoming monsters. The mage will give debuff skills to slow the movement of the monsters that come and also as DPS if the other guards are having trouble"

When the three guards immediately understood the order, Kaley hear a voice that emerged from Nagita's mouth.

"What about me?"

"Shit. How could I forget her?" Kaley moaned when he saw the priest right behind him and looked at Kaley with a slightly scared expression.

Kaley exhales. He tried to say the priest's duty patiently enough so as not to make the girl look even more afraid of him even though she couldn't see Kaley's masked face.

Surely you have quite an important task here. You must heal anyone who is hurt. However, don't be too wasteful with your mana.

When Kaley explained the noble task to Nagita, the girl was seen holding her chin.

"However, it will be easier if the guards also join our party"

"Isn't that impossible?" Kaley replied, who didn't really understand how parties worked in that world because he was really an amateur.

Nagita suddenly remembered what Invictus said that this was his first experience being at a party.

"Umm, how about you give the party leader to me, Mr. Invictus? I'll explain while we fight the monsters that will soon come," Nagita replied with a thin smile that was quite sweet.

Kaley's brain grew hotter when Nagita asked him one more time. Kaley really didn't understand what the girl meant. Suddenly, a notification came in and appeared on Kaley's face.

"Party members would like to request the party leader's access. Will there be access to party members? Y/N?"

Kaley who didn't want to complicate the matter immediately answered briefly.

"Yes, I will grant access"

"Ding..."

"Nagita became the party leader of the second group. Invictus will be the representative of the party leader. Some things can only be accessed by the party leader."

Suddenly a notification appeared again in front of Kaley's face. There, he saw the health bars of all party members in the second group, namely himself, the Giant Boar, the guards, and also Nagita's health bar.

"It's like in a game," Kaley chimed in.

"You're right, Mr. Invictus. After all, including members in a party can make it easier for members to get party buffs and also make it easier to heal them with heals."

There is a unique party system in the Re: Life program. As Nagita said, there are advantages that one will enjoy whether he is a human or an ai born from the system. As long as they are in a party, a healer in the party can heal wounds with a spell and everyone in the party will receive the same heal. If not in the same party, a healer will have to heal one by one and waste a lot of their mana.

"So that's one of the advantages. Alright I'll leave the party to you, Nagita"

Nagita nodded her head at Invictus' words. It wasn't long before the monsters began to approach the village gate.

"Hold them! Don't let them cross this line! Giant Boar, advance!"

The Giant Boar began to attack one of the approaching monsters that looked like a mountain goat. Even though his body wasn't as big as the Giant Boar's, the mountain goat-shaped monster wasn't easy. The monster that was attacked by the Giant Boar persisted and give a hard defense. At the same time, the battle between the two monsters was inevitable.

Another monster sped into the village. Kaley couldn't immediately give orders to his monsters to retreat and attack monsters that were approaching him because the Giant Boar was still busy with other monsters.

"There is no other way. I have to endure it!"

"Root!"

A monster in the shape of a dry tree trunk without leaves approached Kaley. When Kaley restrained him with a root skill! A strange phenomenon occurred.

"Geni's Debuff Burn has appeared. Debuff burn will burn the target's body for thirty minutes"

When Kaley was stunned reading the notification that appeared, Nagita shouted at him.

"Mr. Invictus there is another monster coming towards you from 2 o'clock!"

Kaley without seeing the monster in the slightest immediately cast a spell on another tree monster that approached him.

"I believe that debuff burn will appear on my other skills too"

"Magic Smash!"

"Growl…"

With the skill he cast for the second time, the movement of the monster slowed down and a puff of smoke suddenly shot out of its body and slowly burned it.

"Looks like it's going to end well," Kaley muttered happily.
