Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"Tsk, it's a wound, but not deadly wound, not even close of being severe wound," I shook my head before deciding, "if we have to retreat all the way back to the village, I won't hesitate to do it just to kill you," I swore while turning to the distance. "The fight is almost over," I smiled as this was the only hope we got.

Slowly kiting this monster down, bit by bit.

"Let's retreat," I said before throwing my spear out again as I added, "and keep the pace along with that slow monster."

"Alright," my demon knew I was able to hurt that monster, and that made his spirit be elevated once more from the deepest pit it fell into.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As we retreated, my spear kept hacking that monster and causing multiple wounds in it. Each strike ended up with a loud bang, and with the end of the fight back there; everyone got their full attention upon me.

Seeing me, alone, fighting this unstoppable death seemed quite appropriate to make my place in their heart raise by many amplitudes.

"Listen up," as I neared them, I shouted, "we will retreat slowly towards the village, keep yourself far from me so you won't get hurt by that monster."

My words were simple, yet everyone knew the weight they carried. I didn't glance back anymore, and the noise that came from behind told me about their movement.

They swiftly started to retreat, while I held the frontline alone with my demon and spear.

"C'mon," I gritted my teeth as three hours passed after the arrival of those monsters and the darkness just landed on the ground. It wasn't easy to differentiate the body of that monster until my spear really hit it.

Each hit caused this shockwave of light expanding through every single piece of its body, illuminating it in the pitch darkness.

"Wow, I didn't know it was like a tree!" I laughed while observing the thin long interlinked branches of light inside his body after each attack; resembling a gigantic leafless tree.

"Ding Dong! Don't be happy so soon."

Suddenly my deadly system spoke finally after so much time of silence. His words were toxic as usual, and I didn't have the power or mind to fight with him.

Using the spear for all this time made me depleted! I was tired and hungry, so I took out a bruberry and ate it, yet I didn't feel much better for minutes then I returned to my weak state again.

"Forget it, I will just eat you," I took one pearl out and ate it in a hurry before snapping my fingers and releasing my spear again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

This time the explosion went berserk and many places shone up inside the body of the giant, invoking it to roar in pain.

"Wow, it's like the old days then," I laughed while feeling the immediate effect of the pearl weakened. "Tsk, snap," I returned my spear before sending it out once more, and another throw before my energy gained from the pearl got stabilized.

"Only one pearl for three hits? That's quite annoying," I sighed before taking a couple more and ate them before using the spear to vent out the energy over the monster.

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

Each time my spear hit the monster, its body trembled and shone at different places and it roared in great pain. It was pitch black, so I only got a short glimpse over the body of the giant when it was illuminated under my heavy attacks.

"Deeper wounds, better than normal wounds," I muttered while taking more pearls without hesitation. "Let's see how your deadly pet will do to me!"

I kept releasing my spear while my army and my demon kept retreating at a slow pace. I knew they had nothing in hand to do, but I just wanted them to help.

After all, it seemed impossible for me to take down that gigantic monster without losing too many pearls on the way!

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"What?!!"

My system kept silent after his last bizarre words for hours. We were almost at dawn right now, as the sky was about to be invaded by the weak light of the morning.

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"Are you malfunctioning finally?" I wasn't in the mood for this annoying symphony that the cursed system was playing right now!

"Ding Dong! It's here," the system simply said those words and went to silence again.

"Who the hell is here?" I shouted while releasing my spear with a stuffed mouth and an angry face.

"Ding Dong! It's a surprise."

"Yeah, my damn system deadly surprises," my patience ran thin with that shameless system. I was already handling that gigantic monster by great difficulty, and I didn't need any more surprises.

"Ding Dong! Turn around, at the distant spot light in the sky."

"You…" I didn't know what to say but I turned nonetheless to witness something that made my heart fall to the bottom.

"What the hell is that?!!!"

"Ding Dong! Told you, this isn't over."

"Damn!" I gritted my spear while not knowing what else to do. In that distant spot of the horizon where a shy light was about to be born, a gigantic shadow appeared coming with his dark colossal body towards us!

Another soul sucker is coming right away from behind, blocking our path to retreat!

"Damn you!" I cursed out loud while my demon trembled faintly.

"We need to run," the demon urged.

"No!" I decisively declined, "this can't be my loss!" I gritted my spear tightly while adding, "we can run to the east then."

"Ding Dong! Already blocked, hehehe."

I turned my eyes and amidst the slowly fading away darkness I spotted a giant shadow coming from that direction.

"The west then," I turned to the west to see another one coming from there.

"Damn! What have I ever done to you to block every direction like that? Huh?"

"Ding Dong! You insisted on playing solo by your own arrogant rules! This is the consequence of breaking the rules. Told you already, the world won't tolerate such actions."

"You mean you won't tolerate such actions, damn flawed system!"

"Ding Dong! At least all the others are playing by the rules."

"I don't f*cking play by the rules!" I cursed out loud while I turned to glance at everywhere. "Damn, even a route of escape is blocked everywhere! Damn you! I won't stop at anything until I utterly destroy you!"

"Ding Dong! Those you gained by tricks and by breaking the rules will die here! Only few will be allowed to run away," he paused before adding, "Ding Dong! And Lisely will fall down here as well. I already informed her."

"You…" my body trembled yet I didn't know what to say or do. Everything I had, everything I built was about to get crumpled in front of my eyes!

"Damn!" I cursed again while shouting, "anyone with a brilliant idea come forth now! It's now or never, it's do or die folks, let's share thoughts together."

I shouted, yet all I received was utter and heavy deep silence. "Is it over?" I muttered in disbelief.

"Ding Dong! I won't kill you, after all I'm obliged to safeguard you."

"Obligated to guard me?" I laughed out of my bitterness, "c'mon, you didn't stop at anything to make me lose!"

"Ding Dong! But I never risked your life, not now, not anytime in the future."

"Liar," I gritted my teeth while firming my resolve, "I will stand here with my army; either we live together or die together."

"Ding Dong! That's not the right decision to take!"

"Who told you about what's right and what's wrong? Shut up and return to the dirty hole you came from!!"

"Ding Dong! Don't be so mean to the one asking to help you."

"The one who put me in this deadly situation in the first place, right? My guardian is my goddamn sword enemy, what a joke!"

"Ding Dong! Just leave and don't be stubborn right now!"

I totally ignored him while patted on my demon's shoulder. "Go to them," I demanded and he complied.

From the shouts I just had, and the sudden appearance of three more colossal monsters from the three remaining directions; everyone was already tasting the bitter taste of death.

No hope was left for them, or even for me.

"Damn it," I shouted while raising my spear, and its blade slightly shone under the rising rays of the sun, "I won't leave and run, I will stand by your side and fight. If you think it's pointless, I won't blame you for staying here and waiting for death to come.

But we are warriors, we can't stand in the face of the incoming death and not spit on it! Come with me, rally alongside me, let's fight this one time, this last time, and let's die in honor and die on the dead bodies of those giants!"
