Chapter 6: Leveling Up in Crazy Way Part 1
Are all swordsmen cool like him? If so I would look for another cool one for myself. I was just about to move towards these foxes to find a window popped up. It was a friend request from Shin. The strange thing was his weird name.
"Your name in the game isn't Shin? What is 'Rio in need' weird name? You are a weirdo!"
"Just accept it. My real name is Shin but that is my game name. It's not a weird name but a cool one!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, that name is the coolest name ever in the Frod Empire!"
I neglected his words and looked again at these foxes. As Shin told me, they move in groups. The weakest group contained around five foxes.
I suddenly thought of them as normal enemies, not monsters. I was a magician before, so when there were these big numbers in front of me I used a certain strategy! I looked at Shin deeply.
This cool swordsman hid more than what he showed! To be able to apply this tactic I needed high movement speed! He told me to add AP to my Agility. Was that the reason to do so? Did he suspect I was a magician before? Did he know what kingdom I came from?
"Why are you looking at me in this lunatic way?"
"Do you know hit and run tactics?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Tell me how much your Speed reaches?"
"Not much. Like you said, I added 2 AP to it. So I only have 0.2 Speed."
"Better than zero indeed. Ok, we will start killing these foxes now."
"Are you out of your mind? These foxes are very vengeful monsters! "
"Trust me! Tell me what skills do you have?"
"Just three normal skills. I have chop skill which can make me hit the target causing 120% damage.
I also have a sword illusion which creates two sword illusions to hit the target twice in a row causing 70% damage per strike. My final skill is a sword shield that creates shields around me for 5 seconds."
"You don't have any wide range attacks?"
"Nope. These skills are very advanced. I may have a chance to get them in town. Do you understand now? We don't have a chance against those monsters!"
I didn't talk to him anymore but started to formulate a plan. This game was like real life, but instead of enemies, there are monsters. I have experienced a lot of wars since I was nine years old.
My fighting instincts naturally appeared again. These experiences were very precious to me. Although I loved fighting, this was my first time-fighting in the front lines. I formulated a crude plan then explained:
"Listen carefully. The hit and run tactic usually needed three fighters, sorry players. But we will improvise here. "
He interrupted me and hesitation was obvious all around his face:
"Then why do we take risks? Let's go back and hunt rabbits like anybody else!"
"No, we will kill those foxes here now."
"Why?!"
"One of them looked at me in a bad way. I need to kill it!"
He looked at me like he was seeing a crazy girl. Hey, don't you know that we girls are stubborn?!
When I sat my mind on something I would do it no matter what! I continued:
"You will play in the front and draw these five foxes groups. You will chop skill as much as you can."
"What have I ever done to you so you want me dead this badly?"
"Don't interrupt me, cool swordsman! You won't die, trust me."
"I trust my instincts better!"
"Then leave! I don't need a weakling by my side."
"Who is the weakling? You are crazy! I will show you how strong I am!"
"Good. That's the spirit. When they surround you, you will run backward."
"They won't let me go off this easily you know. Their aggro will be on me!"
"What aggro means?"
"You are a newbie. I forgot about this. Sorry boss I thought you were very strong and experienced."
"If you don't stop your words now I will beat you dead!"
"Another mistake, you can't kill your teammate girl."
"Really? Then you will feel pain, right?"
I clenched my fist towards his face which changed color immediately as ha screamed:
"No stop, I won't mock you again."
"That's better. Now tell your boss what aggro means?"
"It's a word describing the monster's attraction to a player. The rule is simple; whoever deals more damage to the monster holds the aggro.
So even if I run backward away from them, they will follow me."
"That's even better."
"Oh god! Do you have any vendetta with me?"
"Stop your silly jokes and listen carefully. While you were running backward you will use your sword illusion skill. When I tell you to stop you will stop and let me steal their aggro. "
"You aren't a tank, so why will you steal my aggro?"
"I swear if you interrupted me again I will hit you so hard!"
"Sorry scary boss. Continue please."
"When you stop you will be ready to use your chop at any notice. When I tell you to start you must use your chop frequently. When I tell you to run, you will run and use your sword illusion skill. And so on."
"What about my final skill?"
"That will be your life-saving card. Don't use it until your life is in danger."
"Ok, I understand."
"Good. Let's start now. Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm fully ready to die."
He went away rapidly before I hit him! This silly cool swordsman was on my nerves!
He appeared in front of the group of foxes. He used chop skill to attack the closest fox to him and a white number appeared on top of the fox:contemporary romance
"3"
It was such a small number of damage! But that was just the beginning. I felt that Shin was used to his class.
His hands moved like lightning to hit the fox with several successful strikes in which frequent white numbers appeared with one yellow number on top of fox head:
"3-3-3-3-6-3-3"
In just three seconds he laid more than 6 strikes on that fox. The fox group of five noticed him and started running at him. I screamed while moving near his place:
"Run towards me."
He ran very fast. During which he used his sword illusion skill many times to hit more than one fox at the same time. Although he looked clumsy to me but now he was a different person.
He looked very comfortable like the battlefield was his home. I passed him and the group of foxes. When I sensed the distance was fine I started using my stab skill at once while yelling at him:
"Stop!"
"6-6-12-6-18-6-12-6"
I was dazed by the speed of my attacks and those different colors that appeared on top of these foxes.
