Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The closest to the town walls were the ground monsters and players, but I didn't give them any care, as my players behind me, and on top of the walls started to attack them, making me safe.

My primary interest was in these flying monsters. Their numbers weren't that big, yet, but I was sure they would keep coming. Even with their low number right now, they were already causing a ruckus here.

"Let's see how fast you can dodge these," I sneered, as I threw my spears towards them, hunting them down.

Their primary target wasn't me, in fact, but to invade the town. I didn't know if my enemy wanted to hit the town centre directly, or make these monsters the beginning of a pincer attack.

Either way, I couldn't tolerate any of these options, and so I started to attack them hard, without any mercy, activating my three skills again, making my spears grow in number and speed.

Without any surprises, my spears kept killing them, despite their change in flying maneuver, making themselves quite dispersed from each other. The more I killed, the more it became harder to kill them, which made me realize some of them would cross the walls, no matter what I did!

"Rog, Aria, and Diana, you three go into the town, and hunt these stray monsters down," I said, as I kept decreasing the number of those monsters. At the end, only dozens of them managed to slip by my spears, crossing the town walls.

Before they all started to descend, I kept killing some of them, as my spears could move inside the town as easily as they could move outside it!

As they escaped my sight, the reach of my spears, it was now up to the three of them to kill these monsters. They weren't strong in their own rights, and by my spears, flying became forbidden to them as well, losing their most effective trait here.

I didn't know what these monsters might do, but I wasn't feeling relieved knowing some of them were inside my town. My enemy's mind proved itself to be extraordinary, usually surpassing my darkest imaginations!

By their disappearance, I formally rejoined the fight on the ground. By the addition of my spears, the whole battle turned into a massacre again, one sided slaughter, with me hitting hard on my enemies, killing them without mercy.

But I never moved from my place for much distance, as my vague feeling of threat was getting stronger with each passing minute. I knew the number of monsters wasn't that big, but it wasn't safe just to assume nothing would happen.

The battle raged on for another hour, until the sky started to grow dark again with the flying monster's second wave.

"So, your first wave was crushed and can't do your trap?" I muttered, while I greeted this wave with my spears as well. The number of this wave seemed bigger than the previous one, so each throw of my spears caused a large number of them to be killed.

However, this time the wave seemed endless, as the more I killed, the more appeared replacing those dying here. I suddenly felt the pressure, as if this continued, I wouldn't be able to hold the town!

And the ground army selected this time to make its comeback! Large number of ground combined forces started to show up, attacking relentlessly my town!

The number of players at hand was already small, and with these fervent attacks from the ground and the sky, I had no hope at all to hold the town against them.

If I couldn't defend the great stretch walls of the town, then I had to retreat, fortify the town centre, and then make my last stand there.

"We have a word from Lady Nada," suddenly Diana appeared from the depth of the town, with Aria and Rog with her. Their faces showed how exhausting that battle they just had was, and that wasn't due to the fierceness of the monsters, but due to mental stress mainly.

"What message?" I asked while keeping my spears busy, killing others.

"Just stand your ground for a couple more minutes, and reinforcements would arrive!"

I didn't understand her meaning, but I trusted Lady Nada. She wouldn't talk about reinforcements without having a way to be sure of it. "Ok, listen up everyone, we need to hold this wall no matter what!" I shouted at my players, giving the last order before I took out my prison, and took the demon back, before summoning it again.

"Leave the flying demons to me," I said, before I moved to sit on the demon shoulders as I said:

"Go inside, let's kill those annoying monsters."

I just gave the order, and my demon jumped over the wall like it wasn't even there. I turned to look at the flying demons, while muttering:

"Holding the fort for a couple of minutes, I could do that!"

I then kept attacking the flying monsters as fast as I could muster, and finally I started to hit them when they passed the walls of the town. The moment they disappeared into the ground, I yelled at my demon:

"Go, go, let's kill them all!"

Me demon replied in action, as it moved fast, heading towards the closest place of these monsters. The number that fell this time was greater than before, in hundreds, and there was more coming as well towards here. I left the mission of killing those grounded monsters to my demon, while I took the responsibility in killing those still in the air.

However doing so proved to be challenging, especially when my line of sight was interrupted by the town buildings. I kept attacking those I could spot, while knowing much more already escaped my grasp.

That couldn't be helped, though, as I had only to defend for minutes, nothing more. The monsters that we met were all stumped upon by my demon, with no one to stand equal to it, no matter how many they were.

However I noticed that all were trying to head deeper towards the town, and that made me realize their target.

The town mayor residence!

"Let's go to the residence place," I said to my pet, ordering it to change direction, stop moving aimlessly like this, and head straight towards the distant residence.

The moment we started approaching the residence, we met many monsters going fast there. They knew their target, like being trained on this from before, or if someone was there controlling them.

At this moment, I wasn't concerned with the flying monsters anymore. All the monsters went down to the ground the moment they crossed a couple of buildings inside the town. It wasn't logical or effective to use my spears, wasting them from all this large distance between us.

And so, I joined the battle with my demon, killing all the monsters I could spot here. The more we got near the residence, the more monsters we came across, making me wonder from where all of them came!

As I spotted the fence of the residence, I noticed the ongoing fight there between Lady Nada and the monsters. They managed to reach the residence already, and Lady Nada was like an impregnable wall, nothing could pass her!

However she was alone, and the number of monsters kept increasing with each minute. If I wasn't here, I was sure the monsters could manage to slip by her using the sheer force of numbers alone!

"Stand beside her, let no monster cross us!"

I yelled at my demon, while I stood on its shoulders, trying to use the height of it as advantage, killing all far distanced monsters still grouping towards here.

By the addition of me and my demon, things got quite under control, while Lady Nada said:

"I can't step one foot outside the residence, so I can only kill those inside here."

I understood her meaning, and nodded, while saying to my demon:

"Let's take a tour around this mansion."

If she was able to defend here alone, then my presence wasn't needed at the moment. All I needed to do was to ensure the number of monsters reaching her kept low, using my spears and my demon, until our mysterious reinforcements arrived!

I didn't doubt the incoming reinforcements, but I was curious about their identity. Was it related to the guards she sent just before the attack? There was nothing else in my mind that was mysterious but this unexplained move!

My demon jumped over the fence, and continued to hit these monsters hard, while I kept throwing my spears towards everywhere, while eating one pearl, replenishing the lost hunger value.

After eating five pearls, I was good to go again, hitting anything around us, and making sure the monsters reaching Lady Nada weren't as many as they were from before.

Lady Nada was a monster herself, no monster managed to even set foot and not be killed with her skills. She was a mighty magician, someone that I felt great admiration and respect for being with me.
