Cosmic Peak

Chapter 7 - FIGHT!

Aren looked at the dead man with disbelief before he hurriedly thought, 'I want to leave.'

[ You can not return while a quest is ongoing. ]

'Damn!' Aren cursed as he returned to Quinn and Lorain's side.

Both of them had scared expressions seeing the ferocious wolves.

Aren looked at the guards and a few people who were fighting the wolves. At the same time, most other people were not attacking due to fearing for their lives.

"Everyone! The guards have armor, and they can push back wolves. Use hit and run tactics. Attack the wolves one time and hide behind the guards, do it repeatedly to kill the wolves. If the voice is right, What we will face after three years will be even worse than this. We have to fight and get strong!"

Hearing the shout, Everyone looked at Aren, and one of the women spoke with fear on her face, "Why don't you go first?"

Aren looked at Quinn and Mom and calmed them down before speaking seriously, "Mom, Quinn. What will come after three years will be even worse than this, I...believe it will be way worse than this. So, we have to get used to this and get strong."

Both of them looked at Aren, who nodded seriously and continued, "This is the perfect chance. Come with me; we will work together with a plan and work with the guards to kill wolves."

"THAT YOUNG MAN IS RIGHT. HELP US, YOU FOOLS. *groan..*," One of the guards shouted before he was pushed back by a wolve, but he re-arranged his shield and swung his sword to cut the belly of the wolf.

The number of wolves far outnumbered the guards, and that's why they were more focused on pushing back the wolves from entering the Town instead of actively attacking them.

They had made a formation to block the wolves while some people of the earth, Fergon, and other powerful natives were attacking the wolves.

"Mom, Quinn. Let's go."

Quinn and Lorain took deep breaths before nodding their heads as they followed Aren towards the guards.

"Thanks, young man. Let's hope other people also join so that we can focus on perfecting our defense while you all kill the wolves. This is the only way to kill those two hundred or so wolves."

Aren nodded, "It's good that town's walls are high, otherwise...," He shook his head and didn't continue.

The guard nodded weakly without looking back as he focused on defense.

"Quinn, Mom. The wolves are not dying with only one normal attack, and we can't use our skills continuously. So, use the skills to kill the wolves first. For now, use your skills in auto mode and when you get the hang of it, start using it in manual mode. After using skills, target the same wolf with me: with three of our normal attacks, the targetted wolf will definitely die."

Quinn nodded as he felt the boomerang in her hand as if checking it out, "Got it. It seems that they or whatever it is that created this place knew that I played with boomerang a lot. It's just...this boomerang is blady, so I have to throw it in such a way that it doesn't get stuck in the wolves."

Aren looked in her eyes and smiled, "I believe you can do it."

He then looked at Lorain and spoke, "Mom, you have a longsword, so stay beside me and attack the same wolf that I attack."

"Guards. We will be trusting you for the defense." Aren spoke solemnly.

"Hahaha, Young man. Freely attack; we will not let a single wolf get past us. But still, be careful of their leaps, We can push back their leaps with our shields, but some might still reach you. That's the only thing you have to worry about."

Aren frowned slightly and changed his plans. He told Lorain and Quinn to only use their skills on wolves who might leap past the guards.

Afterward, Three of them started attacking in sync as Aren instructed them to target the wolves. But after the first attack, Aren was startled because he managed to kill a single wolf in one swing.

"Haha, young man, A good sword you got there," the guard spoke as he shouted and pushed the wolves back with his shield and attacked with his sword.

Aren looked at Fergon, who was also killing one wolf with one smack of his hammer.

'It's been just a few hours since everyone entered, sigh...Most people are not used to this yet, while some people like me who got silver-tier weapons are already attacking. They also need to level up at least one time and get stat points because the requirement to use silver-tier weapons is high.'

Aren then told Quinn and his mom to work together to take down other single wolves since he could kill one wolf with one swing of his sword. He didn't use his skill <Haste> and saved it for an emergency.

Five minutes passed, and Lorain and Quinn managed to do well with the hit-and-run tactic while hiding behind the guards. Aren also missed some wolves and didn't manage to one-shot all the wolves he attacked because they also managed to dodge his attacks.

One wolf also managed to get past the guards with a leap and seeing that, all other people behind who were watching felt their heart dropped, but Aren narrowed his eyes and spoke, "Mom, use Stab."

Lorain gritted her teeth as she pointed at the wolf whose head was directly aiming at her.

Aren also used his skill <Haste>, but when he saw the angle of his mom's attack, he frowned, 'She will miss it. It will only graze the wolf, damn.'

Aren dropped the heavy broad sword to increase his movement speed and punched the wolf.

'Phew. It's good that I put 4 stat points in strength.'

His punch pushed the wolf to the side, and Lorain's skill <Stab> perfectly hit the wolf as it pierced its belly.

"Yeahhhhh!" An old man in the group shouted seeing that. He then moved forward towards the guards with his pole weapon.

Aren saw that and once again shouted as he picked up his heavy broad sword and pointed it upward, "YOU SAW HOW WE FOUGHT? Follow the same pattern and attack. If the wolves get past us, no one will survive. You also can't leave this place unless this quest is over."

The people were finally moved as they also positioned themselves behind the guards and started attacking.

Seeing this, The guards also became determined and motivated as they shouted loudly at the same time, "HAAAAAAAAAAAA! DON'T LET A SINGLE WOLF GET PAST US."

...

After three hours, all wolves finally died as everyone could be seen resting on the ground.

Lorain took deep breaths as she smiled while looking at Aren, "Hehe, I didn't know my son was this capable. "

"*giggles*...You don't know, auntie, but Aren had always been the one managing everything in our class. Teachers also let him manage the school work sometimes, and despite that, he always gets 1st rank. Hehehe, You don't know how many girls proposed to him already, but he always rejects them, saying that he doesn't have time for them. " Quinn took some deep breaths before she spoke with a giggle.

Aren touched his nose and grinned as he looked in the sky of this world with a fire of determination and excitement in his eyes.

[ Emergency Quest completed ]
