Chapter 39 - Lone Spike Wolves And Red Spincers

"Alright, I am glad that all of you are here. Inside that training simulation dome, is full of monsters that is why I expect each and everyone to stay focused. There are no observing officers and the only one that will see our failure, for now, is the officer at the panel that is currently controlling the wave of monsters. Even that is the case I want each and every one of you to give your best."

Jin smiled at the end of those words after that he turns around and opens the door. A battlefield-like scenario surprised them.

"The same old destroyed ruins, is this what it really looks out there at the walls?" Qi Meili exclaimed as she cannot believe that there are a lot of ruined buildings and the loss of human habitat is real.

"For what I have seen outside those big walls that protect us, lies a chaotic world. That why I am here to you help you guys to survive in a hellish environment before we go and be sent out there."

Jin replied as he keeps walking to reach the middle where he can signal the officer to start the simulation.

"How can you say that it's chaotic huh? Have you been there… outside of the walls?" Fang Shirong asked Jin who was at the front. "And Jin replied with a simple "Yes, I have been outside of the walls. And for you guys to be sent there I don't think you are able to be alive in such a long time."

After Jin ended the sentence it was time to start the simulation, and Jin gave shouted as he equipped his XDR-rifle "Fang Shirong go to the 2nd floor of that building, Qiao Jiao get in front and take as many enemies as possible. Han Zian if Qiao Jiao losses health by 50% you must heal her at top priority. Qi Meili as long as it is in your range kill the monster at all cost."

And all of them replied "Yes, Sir" those semi precise orders made the whole team develop a strategy that only Jin be able to grasp. After forming their desired position a siren sounded inside the dome. After the loud siren then followed by an announcement.

[Attention: Simulation Practice will now begin Phase 1 Monsters are to be expected. Level 1: Caution]

Jin aims his XDR-rifle and puts his finger at the trigger [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst]

The first wave 30 red spincers and 20 lone spiked wolves, "Alright they are beginning to move once they crossed that building, Qi Meilli fire a volley of fire directed at those wolves. And after using volley fire use penetrating arrow for added damage to the first volley." Jin stated as his XDR-rifle is slowly compacting enough force to fire a beam of light towards the enemy. Qiao Jiao fights the enemies that are getting nearer to us, hold them as long as you can.

Fan Shirong uses abilities such as Ghost dagger and Claw blades for bleeding damage." After saying all of those things the spincers began their attack. And their first attack was countered by Qi Meili Volley Arrows. Some of the arrows made a critical hit strike on the spincers and some of the lone spiked wolves that were charging at the center.

And Jin pressed the trigger. *Pheww* the beam of light fired from the XDR-rifle barrel its compacted power hits a Lone Spiked Wolf that was about to leap and bite Qiao Jiao but luckily Jin was able to kill the lone spike wolf. The lone spiked wolf that was about to attack turn to ashes and disintegrated.

"Be careful and always watch your two rear to avoid being flanked. "Fang Shirong Help Qiao Jiao and use Deceive tactics to lure the enemy, to avoid detection." And So Fan Shirong did what he was told, he whispered while he was running towards the direction where Qiao Jiao was.

"Deceive" and after whispering that word his body turned into 3 and they looked the same and Fan Shirong was able to order the two clones. Fan Shirong then let the two clones move into different places in which Fang Shirong has 3 personas on the ground which able to Deceive monsters. All of those clones are able to use abilities but their damage is only half of the main user has.

"RAhh!" Fan Shirong used his Ghost dagger to kill the Red spincer using his two sharp poisonous blades. The blade effect is that is when the blade is stab or able to injure the target the effect of unknown poison will weaken the armor and defense of the targeted master. And its movements will be slowed by 50% in that case. The target monster will be almost slow as a turtle in the eyes of a player.

Jin pressed the trigger and the compacted power fired and a beam of light hits the ground the is near 5 lone spiked wolves. And when it impacted on the ground it quickly exploded *BOOM* after the explosion an fire followed which burned the lone spiked wolves. And from the distance, Jin was able to hear the cries of the burning Lone spiked wolves.

``I cannot beleive that this simulation is so realistic. They also able to put pressure on mental fighting because of those cires of pain."

the black smoke covered that part of the battlefield ruins. And when the black smoke vanishes Jin shouted "Hear me! I want all of you to retreat to your old positions and kill the last remaining monsters." After saying that Jin did a tactical reload, and aim his XDR-rifle once again.

[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Fire Bullet ]

"Covering fire!" Jin shouted as Fan Shirong retreated and his clones disappeared as it became a pixelated material and vanish. While Jin was firing his bullets *Prfft* *Prfft* able to kill multiple Lone spiked wolves that were charging forward. Qiao Jiao was able to unleash her skill Defiant Slash and Irons Slash and because of that, Qi Meili was able to recover from releasing too many arrows.

Their movements were coordinated even though it was the first time that they were on the same battlefield with each other. It was their first coordinated first wave that they have did, and Fan Shirong was amazed at Jin's strategies. And slowly Fan Shirong trusted Jin.

"Qiao Jiao finish the wolf!" Jin shouted as he reloaded the XDR-rifle. Meanwhile, Qiao Jiao charged forward which at that time she was also exhausted and her breathing is a bit heavy, he was also gasping at that time when Jin shouted at her.

So she raised her sword and sigh before charging forward. As she was charging he was also able to last hit multiple Red spincer that was poisoned earlier but Qiao Jiao just finished that deed so that there were no movements. And Qiao Jiao was thrusting her sword onto the shells of the spincers their shells cracked as if its armor was so weak. But after that, she looked straight ahead where her enemy lies.

The lone spiked wolf shows its sharp teeth and bloodied mouth because it was already eating its kind. ``Dang I need to end this faster!`` Qiao Jiao dashed forward to close the gap, and it gave a sign to the Long spiked wolf that he is endangered and most Lon spiked wolf chooses to fight than flee.

So it reflexes increase, and now Qiao Jiao's advantage of surprise is now canceled. She swings her sword to the left which is where the Lone Spiked wolf wound was when it was shot by an arrow from the volley of arrows.

But at it was about to hit it was blocked by the teeth of the Long spiked wolf. And when Qiao Jiao saw that her blade was blocked by the teeth of the Lone spiked wolf her whole fighting spirit goes drastically low.

While all her party members were looking at her, same with Jin who was not far from Qiao Jiao. But at this moment this was the test for Qiao Jiao if she was not able to counter this attack it will be a big problem in the future. Fang Shirong at that time was also looking at Jin who was also looking at Qiao Jiao.

``Why isn't he giving an order he is near to Qiao Jiao and I also near to Qiao Jiao. I can help her, I can save her`` Jin was determined to look closely and observe but his guard was also high. As his XDR-rifle was already into [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray gun Burst]

But Qiao Jiao was still determined to live and thinks of a counter at that moment, and soon enough he was able to figure it out because of determination, and self-thinking. She then let go of the sword with one hand.

While the other hand is preparing to punch the eye of the Long spiked wolf and when he threw punched at the eye of the Lone spiked wolf.

And the wolf lets go of the sword and Jin was able to pull the sword back to her grasp. And the Lone spiked wolf backs off as it wants some distance to avoid certain death. ``this is the opening I am waiting``

Qiao Jiao dash forward, he also noticed that there was also bleeding under the Long spiked wolf neck. And Qiao Jiao targeted that for her last attack. The sword was able to pierce through the flesh of the lone spiked wolf and its blood gushed out from the wound of the wolf.. And when she pulls the sword out, she turned around and saw that all of her teammates were looking at her.
