Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: A Desperate Battle

I swing my first spear strike at the first monster who comes aggressively towards me in this soon to be our bloody battle, cutting that chaos corpse in half, vertically, in its body as brain juices and internal organs splattered all over the place and even my body when I cut it, it's disgusting as if someone just puked at you.

The horrendous smell of fuzzy blood immediately entered my nose and the blood splattered in my tense face, but I shield myself from the poisonous blood of that chaos corpse by enveloping myself in mana-- to protect my body knowing that brutal death will

happen if I didn't protect myself. And this is the start of this long arduous life-and death battle for the ten of us in this place.

The bloody fight was full all-out now where the monsters attacked us with all their might, even sacrificing their own life just to be able to damage us with their sheer size in all directions that gives me doubt if we can even survive this intact.

However, due to our solid formation from the ten of us right now-- it keeps us safe from these sheer numbers of attacks that these monsters made to damage us, it's unendurable yet, quite manageable at the same time. It's essentially our lifeline that made us alive in the meantime.

The group formation was like this:

We are composed of three vanguards in front of-- their role was to protect our formation from all the monsters in the front side of the clash. These three vanguards include the Hero, which are positioned at the middle of these three vanguards.

My position right now is in the rear of the group formation, at the left side.

My role is to protect the only damage dealers and healer that the group had, Jessica that served as our healer and the other three from different backgrounds that served as the damage dealer for us to damage most of the monsters.

And yes, I know that I'm not the tankiest in this group of the strongest, yet despite that, my speed was highly respectable even in this group of particular strongest people considered in the universe. And with the addition of one more teammate in my side as we protect this rear, we are tasked to protect this side at all cost.

And the other two on the other side protect their side too.

Countless monsters emerged on my side leading to a difficult fight because I have to fight them on all sides and there's no one who can help me, it's basically all in myself as my teammate was already occupied in his other side of the rear.

Nevertheless, I fought really really hard due to my life being dependent on it, and the group's formation was also in the hands of this difficult battle of death.

And death will be guaranteed if just one of us falters and crumbles in this situation. It will be the start of the downfall of this group.

As I stabbed through these jelly-like goo monsters that tried to attack me but I deflected it and counterattacked them immediately, splattering them into various disgusting pieces of goo.

Then, I dodged the vicious slash of these dark black skeletons attacking me while avoiding their rotten flesh coupled with poisonous black blood with my refined mana that intends to kill me.

I also avoided these humongous tentacles that sucked your life energy if they managed to hold you by, which guaranteed a painful death.

Continuously stabbing, dodging, slashing, piercing and deflecting all of the attacks of these countless monsters in my side to protect as I use all of my experience and power to battle out this difficult bloody battle, yet I felt firm in my flow of actions as I continuously do this to protect myself and my love of my life.

The team fought really hard in this almost-desparing situation due to the sheer numbers of the enemies as we cling to our dear lives, by fighting hard on these monsters to not give them the momentum to overrun us.

But suddenly, I noticed myself slowing down for a second or two as I accumulated enough damage over time. Although it's not poisonous due to the filter of my mana, the wounds eventually caught up to me as I observed my strikes developing weakness as my body was like a mess that turned into a bloody pulp of wounds and blood.

Despite all of that, through sheer determination to live, I continued to swing my spear at the appearing while ignoring my weakening body as the monsters continuously comes up to me with the intent to kill.

As the rearguard of our group who protects the damage dealers and my wife from these monsters. I can't falter or it's basically the end of us if they manage to get ahold of Jessica, our healer and my beloved.

But through fighting, I noticed something-- there's something wrong, and as if my bad premonition triggered that something really bad happened

And I was right...

I shockingly gazed over at the big bloody gaping wound that appeared in the side of one of the vanguards of the group known with the name as The Mightest Shield by the Orcs, and it's definitely afflicted by that shadow-like entity that I've seen earlier and chosen to ignore.

"Shit, he is much stronger than we thought", as I noticed that laughing evil smirk on that monster's face as he looked at us mockingly, like ants struggling for their dear lives.

And my bad premonition happens, The Mightest Shield suddenly faltered in the Frontline of this bloody battle, gasping at the deep wound he received from the unexpected powerful monster.

Almost half of the internal organs from the lungs to intestines were almost turned to a mush, and the one side of the body completely disappeared as blood flowed from his mouth with chunks of his pieces of internal organs.

Then, the two other vanguards tried to cover for him in the front.

This unfortunate event resulted in the breakage of our formation, and a harder fight for us.

As I realized a much more heavy load of enemies that I have to deal with in the sides.

I desperately swung, stabbed, deflected and attacked again the much heavier numbers of enemies. But through my sheer will and determination as the bloody fight continues, I managed to hold them for a while as I gambled everything I have on the line to this battle even if I had many wounds in my already broken body.

Like a madman, I fought these countless hordes of enemies that I disregard my body for it but still, I used a bit of my mana to protect myself from outside influences with the small hope that, maybe, me and my wife can survive this.

Swinging my already bloodied spear a million times, stabbing these shitty things ten million times, deflecting their attack a hundred million times, and surviving yet again with this broken body countless times that I almost think it's a miracle.

But I knew that my time is near, as I am already going numb in my right arm that holds the spear and my body, it's full of wound and blood that I can't even identity myself If I will look at a mirror.

And my team-- they're dying one by one, and even the Hero, who was once hailed as the strongest in the Universe, faltered at the sheer amount of enemies he had to deal with, including his deep wounds and injuries as he fought those monsters with everything he got on the line.

Jessica, our healer and my wife unfortunately died in the battle, as she was stabbed by multiple tentacles in all parts of her body leading to a gruesome death and a gloomy husk in her place.

It really hurts remembering her last smile at me and the deep kiss we share before the fight. As if she knows her death exactly as I thought of the things that she said to me... for the last time.

"Please... live for me, Keizen."

As I swung again vigorously, stabbed yet again much more harder, deflected the attacks through my sheer reflexes in the body that I didn't notice the time with the battle ongoing on, until its already countless hours, days, weeks passed by in this barren place full of gloomy husks of death.

And before I knew it, through countless swings of my beloved spear bloody spectacle due to disregarding it-- with deep wounds in every part of my body. I barely managed to kill all of the monstrosities in this barren planet excluding that one shadowy figure that I saw earlier and the those things outside of this barren planet.

Yes, there are monsters outside of this planet. We only fought the monsters on this planet, not the outside of the universe so they're still waiting for us.

However, I noticed something strange, as I looked at the chaos monsters outside of the planet and all over the universe, they didn't even try to attack us or swarm us.

For sure, we will be overrun by them and we will surely can't defend ourselves if they joined the fight earlier.

It seems like they're waiting for that steong evil monster looking at us with his still, naughty mocking smile towards us as if he's looking at a desparate prey that he can't wait to kill.

Suddenly, I heard an audible giggle infront of me as if it was amused in my battle between these hordes, as I looked over to see where that almost-mocking sound came from.

"You're a tough one, huh?"

I saw that monster behind me, smiling demonically as if he's a predator drooling, waiting to kill his prey, and I'm the fucking prey.

Yes, I'm pretty fucked right now.
