War Grounds

Previously, with the aid of Udil"s Breath of Life and Death, and the orc"s own Steel Bones; Papa Bear"s HP has now recovered to 40%.

Not minding the scurrying spiderlings, the orc surprisingly charged with Ursun to simultaneously meet the enemies. Emotions were really good at deceiving one"s brain.

The summoned bear was the first to reach the Savage players as it immediately pounded both of its ma.s.sive paws toward the one that was first in line - TicTab, the white cat with bat"s wings.

The Savage a.s.sa.s.sin nimbly dodged the attack, not daring to parry it with his sharp dagger-like claws as he transformed back into his humanoid form while in midair. Cyber Husky already briefed them on what to expect in the area, especially about the summoned bear.

"I"m your enemy!" Papa Bear hollered as his body turned into a streak of blue lightning, striking the White Cat in his s.h.i.+rtless abdomen. The former used his weapon"s sure-hit skill - Undivided Attention!

...

Things did not go as what the Brotherhood of s.h.i.+rtless Punks had intended.

TicTab should have gone ahead of the group, ambus.h.i.+ng Udil, while the other three slowly maintained the aggro of the Spider Queen. However, when Karrie, the black bulldog with a wing-arm of a brown owl, cast his wind spell to destroy the web blocking the tunnel; he had unfortunately triggered the dungeon"s trap - the wrath of the House of Euophrys!

Portia awoke from her slumber as her salivating fangs immediately quivered, producing a murmuring vibration. The Spider Queen immediately pounced from the ceiling, blocking the entrance to the next area of the dungeon.

The remaining three members would have managed to control the raging Spider Queen if not for the appearance of another monster - Euophrys, the Spider King!

...

Udil was caught surprised by the immediate action of Papa Bear. Without delay, he signaled Macca and SwitchFoot to a.s.sist, while he surveyed what was happening.

"Hey! Help us defeat these monsters, and we"ll surrender. Killing these bosses will bountifully improve our levels!" Cyber Husky urgently sent a message in the general chat as his character helped Porkchop in evading the ongoing onslaught of Portia and Euophrys. Meanwhile, Karrie and TicTab were dealing with Papa Bear, Ursun, SwitchFoot, Macca, and the still numerous spiderlings - it was a chaotic battlefield inside the rock salt chamber.

One could say that the thread of victory was already in favor of WisDOOM.

However, Al did not rush as he intently watched the situation that was unfolding, taking note of the variables involved. Two high-leveled bosses whose HPs were still intact, four Savage players whose HPs were steadily decreasing, a summoned bear that could not be controlled, his allies, and the numerous spiderlings that were rich sources of EXP.

"Team, focus on the spiderlings!" Al finally made his decision as he sent an order in their team chat. Dungeon matches were rare. He has to make the most out of this match. "What"s your plan in dealing with these high-leveled monsters?" The boy also sent a private message towards Cyber Husky.

Papa Bear was a bit hesitant to change targets. However, he was not that stubborn to disobey the orders of his captain. After all, he was a loyal person, especially to Al Gentrix. With his blood still boiling after exchanging some slashes with TicTab, the orc gulped down his fear and attacked the mini-spiders.

Karrie and TicTab sighed a breath of relief. Now all they had to deal with was the troublesome bear as Cyber Husky sent them a message that the other side had accepted their truce.

"Al! We could just finish them off now." Macca sent a message to Udil; he was confused with the latter"s decision.

"Yup, and that"s why we"re buying their temporary respite. Wait for my instructions. Just continue grinding the spiderlings. We"ll get the most EXP we could have from this dungeon." Al advised.

"Take the fight outside." Cyber Husky finally replied to Al.

"Why?" Al could not guess the intention of the Savage Mechanic.

"Just a wild guess. They"re too high-leveled for us to take on. Maybe it"s because of these rock salts." Cyber Husky shared his plan.

"It does not make any sense. Why did you bring them here? You could have just lured them back to your entrance." Al replied.

"I"ll answer all your queries after we took care of these troublesome monsters. Let"s have your bear take the aggro first. Retreat to the entrance." Cyber Husky gave the orders as if they were just one team.

Judging by the battle awareness and decisiveness of Cyber Husky, Al surmised that this player was a well-seasoned gamer who brought his experience from previous games to War Grounds. "Hopefully, he"s not nasty." The boy muttered to himself as he and his team began to retreat to the entrance of the dungeon.

Karrie and TicTab charged to the entrance as Ursun trailed after them with raging eyes. In the same way, Cyber Husky and Porkchop lured the Spider Queen and King towards the same area, maintaining a strategic distance.

As Al returned to the exit, he finally started to follow the thought process of Cyber Husky. Fighting outside would be more comfortable due to the open s.p.a.ce, and spurted threads of webs would be easier to spot due to the sunlight.

WisDOOM, Karrie, TicTab, and Ursun were now outside of the rock salt cave. Just when Cyber Husky and Porkchop were about to reach the end of the tunnel, the two spiders turned around and did not pursue them anymore. It was just as what the grey wolf had suspected as he grinned.

Clockback!

Red runic gears floated above Cyber Husky"s body before a pair of ma.s.sive mechanical arms reappeared. Clockback was a cooldown reset skill.

Before Portia and Euophrys could further return to their burrow, they were grabbed by the colossal mechanical arms and pulled outside of the dungeon.
