Playing in hard mode
Chapter 15: a difficult mission 15
NAOMI'S POINT OF VIEW.
I am a moon guard, you may wonder what is so special about the classes, if the skills in general are learned from books, and the fighting style within Andromeda, you develop it yourself.
Well that's easy to answer, the classes are linked to the blessings, that your race has, that's why, in the elves, it presents professions like forest sage, moon guard, sun warrior or classes like elementalist. Because they are classes that the gods we serve favor, I read that in the library when I was a newbie.
Classes determine the skills you can learn, every class or profession will be able to learn up to 10 skills, as well as giving you the opportunity to learn 2 skills unique to your class. The higher the rank of your class, the greater the range of skills you can learn. For example a warrior class of rank D, at most can learn skills of rank D, which makes the skills learned very basic, which is why almost no one chooses these professions, among elves, I have heard that there are rasas that their possible skill rank is D;C or B like humans although there are exceptions to this there are few humans with professions higher than S, most elves choose skills between rank B;A or S, because not everyone learns professions of rank S, or higher, that's because luck plays a very important role, when creating a character, it is said that the dragons, gods, titans or typhons bless your avatar making you their herald, which is why players have 10 lives, and depending on the entity that gave you their blessing we limit the professions we can choose, for example the class I have is a SR rank, without a doubt luck smiles on me.
Dragons are the guardians of the elves, although they are not their only guardians, there is also the goddess Nix, as well as some other gods, but there are few who protect the elves, in general.
As for why dragons, typhon gods, or titans guard the mortals? in the words of Seiryu or Qinglong "the immortal existence can be boring, nothing is new to us, mortals can be fun and annoying is precisely that quality which gives color to boring lives like ours, that's why we observe the mortals, we favor some, curse others all to kill time, but make no mistake mortals generally do not interfere in their decisions, unless they offend us we will not give them more importance".
In secret books and wishes of the dragons is written the following "Our power is so strong that no matter what part of the universe we do not find, we will always bring change, order or chaos and that is only with our presence, on several occasions the divinities have destroyed worlds, some deities even destroyed their own planet of origin, after that, the only thing left to do is to wander in the void for who knows how long, eons or just thousands of years, that is worse than death, loneliness can be cruel but make no mistake, if we disarm it we could create worlds, like this place they call Andromeda, If Andromeda was created by us, as well as other worlds, why do we do it, I already told you as a distraction to boredom, the gods also use the energy that accumulates from their believers, this energy is known as faith, faith is used by the divinities to heal old wounds or cure the soul, But it is not very useful for the dragons or typhoons that we have a regeneration, although we take advantage of it to heal the soul or spirit, the titans, on the other hand are more sentimental, when they create a world they are used to take care of it more than any other divinity. Some stand guard eternally with their created world, others are transformed into planets and turn off their conscience eternally, or until someone threatens their creation.
It is known that many titans died, trying to protect their worlds, they were corrupted by other void creatures. The same can happen to any divinity and when that happens we usually kill the entity that was corrupted to understand the corruption of the void mortals I will give you an example, imagine a bright person but from one moment to another begins to lose his memories and suffer pain throughout his body, sometimes becomes violent at times, and finally no longer remember who he is or what he is only feels pain and to relieve it can only release all his strength attacking everything he sees. That is the corruption of emptiness, for those poor souls the best thing to do is to give them eternal rest. Well that is an understatement, since we are technically immortal, let's say we can destroy their bodies and attack so strongly that we destroy every part of their being until their souls are virtually destroyed, but there will always remain at least one part that is indestructible a crystal of divinity, that if you are lucky there may be mortals who begin to worship that crystal, the, god, dragon, titan, divine beast or typhoon within it may resurrect in time.
This world has been created for that purpose many crystals of different divinities were brought to this place, so that they can recover their power, to not let the corruption of the void enter the crystals, the divinities have covered this planet with our power, and we created various intelligent and unintelligent species so that they can worship the various crystals so that they return, after all the divinities are few and each one is a brother, children and friends.
We will bring to your world some beings that will be known as heralds, they will not die, their power will grow rapidly, even if we will give them a way to defend themselves from them, each herald will have but 10 lives, after losing them they will lose all the accumulated power will be deposited in the crystals found, to accelerate the resurrection of the divinity, the heralds will bring chaos, yes but after that chaos a new order will appear and when the order arrives the heralds will disappear from Andromeda, luck Elves if they manage to overcome these tribulations who knows if their era arrives for the second time.
If you want you can curse us mortals for playing with you, but that will not change what is going to happen, we will not interfere with your actions, your wars, your alliances, nor your way of life, in the end everything will depend on the decisions of you and the heralds."
When I read that book in the library secrets and desires of the dragons, I only thought of it as part of Andromeda's lore, I didn't give it much importance, but now after receiving the A rank mission and confirming that the day goddess crystal is here, I can't help but be anxious about what will happen next.
Anyway let's stop thinking about all these things, let's concentrate on my group and the battle in front of me, my group is ,Elie a druidic healer, Inka a sun warrior and Naomi a moon guard.
We are currently surrounded by 7 xenos, who are looking at us suspiciously and I understand them we have been killing them like rats, I myself have already killed 8 of them.
A lizard attacked me, but I responded quickly blocking his side kick with my elbow, I immediately moved the other arm, hit with the tip of the shield right in the face of my opponent, poor thing rolled on the ground, I made a sweep to derive even more attacker who was approaching from the right side, then stabbed the lizard that had just thrown to the ground killing him, I fell two spells of ice at the time I eliminated the xeno from the floor, I was almost killed, if not for a quick intervention of Elie, she returned me to an optimal state to continue the fight, the magic of the druidic healer was beautiful, a seed landed on my shoulder, then sprouted a network of branches that covered me as if they were ropes on my arms and waist then answered my HP while draining the health of Elie, inka, with his big spear pierced a Xeno, then kicked another one, took the third one by the hand that was trying to hit him, and threw him violently to the ground, he retreated close to our healer, I did the same, the 5 that remained stood close to us, Again I lashed out at the nearest enemy, my sword arm seemed to lunge at the xeno's chest, but when the lizard tried to move to the right to evade, my real attack came, I pushed my body against his body and thrust my sword into his abdomen, stabbing him again and again until he disappeared, I then threw my sword at the ice shaman in front of me, but the guy dodged my attack, another lizard tried to hit me now that he was unarmed, making a big mistake, he received his attack but in return I grabbed his arm, I jumped backwards, when he was in the air, I took advantage of the limb I grabbed to use it as a ladder and climb up to his neck, I wrapped my legs around him, I raised my hand where my shield was and with the blow to the top of the skull of the poor lizard that disappeared in a faint black smoke, I was hit with a water spell but a seed wrapped me healing me.
Meanwhile another lizard headed towards the healer but there was Inka, he pierced the air, they dodged his attack, but Inca only turned his spear as if it were a cane and with the butt of the weapon blocked the advance of the creature, then used his weapon to make a vertical cut, from top to bottom killing the lizard, When we thought that we had already dominated this group of lizards, more enemy reinforcements arrived, Inka shouted at me to come back, I grumbled, this time Inka went ahead, dodged the spells of the ice and water wizard, jumping from right to left, killed the first lizard that could not even try to dodge, the other one rolled on the floor to avoid the continuation of Inka's attacks, He turned his spear and put it in the way of another lizard that was attacking us, he placed the spear around the neck of a lizard and as if he were an expert in Muay Thai he hit the lizard with his knee in the face and then threw it away, he turned the spear and pointed it towards our attackers, then retreated, and I went out in front of the largest group, this was the strategy one attacked, the other followed closely always watching the healer, and we never separated a distance greater than 5 meters, before making a change of attackers, the strategy mostly worked, because after a long time we were still alive, but it was all thanks to our healer, She was very good at her job, her seeds could take the life of a target and give it to another, that is to say she had to infect two people for the ability to work, so she herself has saved me more than 15 times, she even killed two lizards stealing their lives while she healed me, apparently she did the same with Inka, that guy was very good, very fast and his handling of the spear was specular, very precise.
When we are killing a group of 2 lizards, a third came was very skilled came with a flying kick send me to roll on the ground, then dodge the lunge of inka, to kick his feet knocking him down, when it seemed that would kill our warrior of the sun, Elie, with one hand brake his attack and giving a full body turn nailed him an elbow in the face in the left cheek of the xeno, Then he rolled on the ground to prevent the attack, she knew well that she had to stay alive, at that moment I came to help my friends, I was intercepted by the other two lizards stabbed me with their claws in the leg, the wound was not very serious but prevented me from moving the other kicked me in the face.
I was intercepted by the other two lizards, they stabbed me with their claws in my leg, the wound was not very serious but it prevented me from moving, the other one kicked me in the face fortunately I put my sword between my leg and my face, even so I rolled on the ground due to the impact Elie healed me sacrificing his health, As he had done so many times before, Inka faced the lizard named Alexander, I already knew him because I saw him kill Itzel's group once, Alexander managed to disarm our warrior and hit him in the chest and throw him to the ground, at the moment Elie sent his seed to heal our ally, Elie and Inka attacked together, Elie jumped with both feet attacking the lizard's calves while Inka attacked with both knees on Alexander's chest, the xeno couldn't dodge it, he fell to the ground and died after Inka didn't give him the opportunity to stand up because he advanced over it, he continued hitting until he disappeared, while Elie healed her Inka with a seed, then she began to heal herself with a potion.
After this, a large number of lizards began to arrive, like the crocodiles and the famous dragons of comfortable but much larger, they came at high speed, I had just killed the two Xenos that stood in my way, I tried to return to my group but I could not, a lizard bit my leg and another jumped to my torso, I can not do anything, I was the starting place of the dungeon.
Before appearing here, a system message informed me that I was killed by a player named Rexar, apparently these invocations were his, I was intrigued about the class of the player named Rexar, and his ability and why he didn't use it before, the doubts gnawed my head not for long, because my group and many others, such as Nur's group, appeared next to me.
They told me that they saw raxar enter into direct combat with orion53, it was then that he released this ability, but orion and his group were still stable until the moment that Nur bit the dust, then orion and all his group appeared next to us.
He just laughed he said that guy is very strong, stronger than anyone he has ever met, we asked him if raxar is stronger than our leader, to which he replied yes, she is stronger, but don't worry she is not alone, remember the other crazy one and Masa who are by her side, without a doubt they are the best players in our whole guard.
When we calmed down the orion boss told us to hurry up, things are coming to an end, there are less and less xenos. If we continue like this we will soon finish with the 10 lives of those lizards.
And please don't tell the maiden to call her crazy, she could really kill me.
