Second World Chapter 284
Advertisement
While Jack was admiring the Pyro Lynx in action, he heard Assistant Manager Ironhand yelled out, "take Storm Wind down! His summoned creature will disappear once he is gone!"
'The heck did he get that logic from?' Jack complained in his mind when he heard the man's shout.
"He is right, though," Peniel answered even though Jack was not asking her. "If they kill you, that Pyro Lynx will get unsummoned."
"Crap!" Jack cursed as the experts were coming at him.
He threw another two disruptive bombs at the experts and ran at where the Pyro Lynx had cleared a path. That side was in such chaos that nobody on that side was paying attention when Jack dived into their throng.
Jack slashed at the ones who were suffering from the flame, relieving them from their sufferings, and sent them to the afterlife, which in this case, was the return to level 1.
When the mass of experts was gaining on him, he used Wall of Vines again, blocking those experts' advance. Too bad none of them getting caught by the vines, they were sensitive enough to be aware when there was danger. They still had to make a large detour, though. In the meantime, Jack continued to kill the ones on fire as he followed the trail of the Pyro Lynx.
Jack was just thinking that one thing was unfortunate. Why didn't that Pyro Lynx go pounce on those top experts? If he could kill those experts while they were busy with the Pyro Lynx, it would make this remaining battle much easier. Perhaps it was his own fault. He should have given the cat a more detailed command, like go bite that scary perverted auntie or something like that.
The Pyro Lynx was too fast, Jack could only follow the trail of fire it left in order to estimate its whereabout. It was seemingly attacking at random. The surrounding was full of enemies after all, so it had no shortage of targets.
As he was still following the trail of fire and killed those with low health due to burning damage, his radar picked up something approaching fast. Jack turned and saw the perverted auntie again. He jumped back as his longsword danced and clashed with her daggers.

Ranger's Silent Step was really dangerous, Jack thought. He would have been backstabbed if not for his radar.
He cast Energy Bolts at Lustful Ellie, then saw another red dot attempted to sneak at him. He quickly turned around with a Magic Shield, Slim Blade's crimson dagger barely miss him as it scraped the surface of his Magic Shield. Then he suddenly cannot move as a rope of light tied his body. A strong force hit his back, he flew forward and saw his HP fell.
He planted his feet on the ground and skidded to a stop. Still bound, he turned back and saw Supervisor Killmonger. The guy had used Magic Bind scroll on him and then hit him with a Power Strike. The other experts started showing up as well.
When Supervisor Killmonger was about to lunge at him again, Pyro Lynx suddenly dashed out from the side and pounced at him. He barely managed to parry its attack. Because the lynx's attack hit his sword, he did not catch fire. Supervisor Killmonger quickly backstepped to put some distance from the cat.
"Good cat!" Jack called out. The Pyro Lynx might have automatically come when it detected its master was attacked.
"Restrain the cat! The others, finish Storm Wind!" Assistant Manager Ironhand started barking orders to get their group in coordination.
None dared to come near the fire cat, so instead, they threw ranged attacks at it. It was agile but still, it could not evade all the attacks. Good thing his special elite grade gave him a much higher HP pool compared to a normal monster.
Stonecleave and Goliath who had just arrived, went to Jack at once. Their hands glowed with red aura as they both activated Adrenaline Rush. Jack was under the effect of Magic Bind so they were prepared to deal him the highest damaging hits possible while he was still restrained. They lifted their weapons to attack.
Jack took out the Liberty of Movement again and used it. The energy rope binding his body was broken apart. Jack used Swing when the warriors' duo was still startled by the sudden change. He then jumped back to avoid the two's blows. His magic staff alighted with a rune.
He had trained a lot with the Ice Ring spell, and with each usage during combat, his familiarity with the spell increased. The rune was formed rapidly and a blue ring of ice exploded outwards. The two warriors and more others who were on their way towards Jack were hit by the spell, including Lustful Ellie and Slim Blade, who tried to sneak in and backstab him.

Unfortunately, only Stonecleave was frozen. Jack did not waste this opportunity. The range enemies were still busy dealing with his summoned creature. He used the Heal scroll to recover his health and then slashed rapidly at Stonecleave. As Jack was about to deal the finishing blow, a healing light saved Stonecleave from certain death. Stonecleave was out of frozen status and he retreated back with his weapon at the front ready to defend himself from further assault.
It was Princess Purple who had saved Stonecleave. The teenage girl even had the audacity to throw Jack an arrogant look. As if her preventing Jack from scoring a kill had somehow shown that she was a better player.
Now I'm sure that girl must have Queen Magenta's blood flowing inside her, Jack thought with annoyance and sent her a Sword of Light. A female Knight from Wicked Witches came forward and put herself in front of Princess Purple to protect her. The Sword of Light hit the female Knight's shield. She received damage but was not significant.
A princess was sure to have a bodyguard, Jack thought. He did not want to waste his time with them. He drank basic healing potion and basic energy potion while he had the chance, then turned to another direction to pick on easier targets.
He glanced at the Pyro Lynx's side. His summoned creature was faring better than him. Although it suffered some damage, its movement was too fast to be controlled. It had managed to dive into the range player ranks, burning some with his flame, and causing much chaos. Assistant Manager Ironhand was having trouble controlling the situation.
Jack rushed over to him, that chaotic situation was the best chance to try to kill him. The golden knight which gave him trouble in the past appeared to block his way.
"Move aside!" Jack said as he executed Power Strike. The blow hit heavily on the golden knight's shield. The golden knight had activated his Endure skill, but he still got pushed two meters away by Jack's Power Strike. The two meters gap was enough for Jack to dash past him.
Jack shot Mana Bullet at Assistant Manager Ironhand. Because he was distracted, the spell hit. Jack's Mana Bullet could directly take out a normal low-level Ranger or Magician, but Assistant Manager Ironhand was not your typical backwater player. His gears were all at least uncommon, and he was a level 20 advanced class. Still, Jack's single Mana Bullet took out more than half his life.
Realizing the danger, Assistant Manager Ironhand immediately retreated. A bunch of his subordinates came out to block Jack's advance.
F**k this guild players, did they always have to have bodyguards? Jack cursed in his mind.
He threw a Disruptive Bomb at this row of bodyguards, killing half in the process. The other half were immediately getting healed by healers. Jack shot range attacks at the healers and was about to run to them when his body was bound again by Magic Bind.
Lustful Ellie had appeared beside him and used the scroll, she then stabbed his side. Jack used Liberty of Movement and break free and then returned the favor by using his own Magic Bind scroll.
"Let's see how you fare!" He said as Lustful Ellie was rendered immobile.
"How do you break free?" She spoke out with unwillingness.
Jack slashed her instead of answering her question, but a healing light immediately brought her HP to safety again. Another green light followed and Lustful Ellie found freedom again. She immediately retreated.
'What's that green light?' Jack asked Peniel.
"It's Cure spell, Healer's gained this spell when they hit level 20. It removes all negative effects from the target."
Jack glanced and saw that it was Princess Purple again that had cast both spells. The girl was arrogant but she did have some skill. She had used her skills at the right timing.
Jack was about to dash over to wipe that smug smile off her face when he received a message.
Finally! It's about time, Jack said in his mind.

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.
