New Life Online 111 Madness Subsided

As I watch the TV while checking what's going on...

"No, this is not normal! Scythus is already dead for trying to use his monster soul final transformation! His greed for power made him take the risk and right now he's paying the toll! I hereby declare that Scythus is disqualified in this tournament!" The old geezer announced! What the h.e.l.l have I done?!

What?! I guess I deserve that. In the first place, I can't defeat her with my third form because I lost when it comes to everything. But what is Shade doing? Why did he do this when I needed him the most!

*Aurora's POV*

This is really bad. People might get hurt if this lunatic made his move right now! I have to do something!

"This madness should stop now! CHRONO'S ICOSITETRA SLAs.h.!.+" If my final move can't finish him no one can beat him!

"What? You think you can defeat me?! GYAAAAAAAAAH!" The mad monster screamed so hard in a high pitch that almost exploded my eardrums! But that won't stop me!

*BAAAAM BABABAAAAM!* I did it! I landed my full final attack! I looked back to check if he's dead but... He's still standing!

"You are really p.i.s.sing me off and because of that; I will take your life too!" The area changed into complete darkness! The whole city is in darkness, in broad daylight!

"When the shadow lurks in the darkness... no one sees him... when the shadow lurks in the darkness... everyone dies before him..." He's saying something! Is he chanting a spell?!

"KYAAAAAH! What the h.e.l.l is happening?! NOOOO! STOOOOP!" What is he doing?! The crowd couldn't handle the pressure and they're having hallucinations!

"What are you doing?! Stop this in an instant!" Everyone who has low resistance to dark spells was caught inside his trap!

"What I did was show them their worst nightmares... Those who have weak resolve deserve to die! Isn't that bad little missy? Hahahaha!" It is insanely bad! I can't do this alone!

"Now it's your turn to die! GYAAAAAAAAAH!" He rushed towards me! I'm almost out of mana and I can't use time stop anymore. Even with time stop, with his great force, he could break the spell. Is this the end of me?!

"ANGEL'S ULTIMATE PROTECTION! SCORCHING NYMPH'S BLAZING s.h.i.+ELD!" His teammates protecting me! They used some kind of fusion barrier with light and fire element. Not bad huh.

"We can't let you die so fast, right? You have to stop him before he slaughters and kill all of us." The girl on fire said. I don't want to have that power. I hate the heat... I have to stop using my AC just to save money...

"Hey! Stop idling around. Do something!" She shouted...

"Here, take this Miss Aurora. It's a mana potion I always carry in case of emergency." It's the blond guy with the bow. He handed me the mana potion and I can feel that I'm gaining mana slowly. That little girl also healed me too.

"So how do we do it?" I should really remember some names from time to time.

"We have to restrain him first and then we use all that we've got. Got it?" Is there any other plan other than that?

"Got it!" All of them replied. What a good team!

"G.o.ddess of Light, please hear my call. ANGEL'S RESTRAINING PRISON!" She created a prison made out of Light alone making him hard to move!

"So you gained some help, huh? Do you think you can beat me with these c.r.a.ppy tricks?!" Trying to break the light prison!

"I don't want to die twice in a row, so make sure he dies! GARUDA'S SHOT TO THE KNEE!" It was the blond guy! He shot two arrows that pierced through the monster's knees and the tip of the arrow pierced to the floor! He can't move!

"This is it! Let's go!" I suggested using our best moves!

"Akko! Let me borrow your power!" The blonde guy asked... what power?

"GARUDA BEAST'S SCORCHING ARROW STORM!" He shot multiple arrows in the sky and created a ma.s.sive rain of blazing arrows! That girl shared his mana to create that ma.s.sive attack. This move can destroy or kill thousands of soldiers in an army!

*BOOOOM b.o.o.bOOBOOOM!* Every arrow made an explosion powerful enough to destroy everything!

"It's my turn! CHRONOS ICOSITETRA SONIC SLASH WAVES!" This time, it wasn't just a slash but a sonic wave slash aiming from afar! This slash wave will hit him 24 times in just one attack!

*BOOOOM b.o.o.bOBOOM!* Did we do it?! Did we really stop him?!

The smoke cleared from his distance and we saw him almost dead! We almost killed him! Just how tough that body is?!

"YOU WILL MEET YOUR DOOM! GYAAAAAAAAAAH!" What the?! He is preparing to use a large scale spell that can erase the whole city! I can feel it! Where is he getting this kind of mana?!

"GYAAAAAAAAH!" He released a powerful amount of darkness towards us! I have to make a precaution for everyone!

*Scythus POV*

Just what have you done Shade?! You will pay for this when I come back! Half of the city was destroyed including the people inside the city! My body is lying at the center of the stadium and I think it's already lifeless. He consumed my avatar's life to use a spell like that because there is no mana left on that body. If I know this would occur, I should have not used that final form! I was too greedy just to win the tournament... This is all my fault!

Huh?! What is happening?! The buildings are being restored and the people who died got resurrected as if nothing happened? How can this be?! But where is Aurora?

"People of New Life Online. I am sad to say that the tournament became a tragedy instead of fun and exciting one. But thanks to Aurora's final sacrifice, she was able to save us by rewinding time for a couple of seconds before that explosion occurred. The villain didn't get resurrected because he was already dead for using the transformation. I know most of you had a bad dream earlier but it's alright now. I, the guild leader of Older Light City, declare that Scythus will never set foot in this city again for what he has done!" This is unfair! It wasn't on purpose for heaven's sake! Jeez, well it is understandable... I did a terrible thing for summoning that monster...

I messed up really bad... I hope my friends would understand what happened.

"And now, the winner of the Monthly Tournament is Aurora! Still undefeated and the Strongest player of New Life Online! Well, she's not here right now but her heroic act would never be forgotten!" Oh man...

"We will now announce what the Game Company wants us to know!" Aika signaled the start of the speech of one of the game developers.

The big screen changed what it is showing into one of the faces of a man with a warrior's helmet on it.

"What? What are you telling me? What? Oh..." He was whispering and then he realized he still has his helmet on... and then removed it after one of the people around him noticed it...

"Sorry about that... My name is Devi, doesn't sound like a game developer right? Haha. Aheem... Well, I would like to announce some additions to the game. Some of you already know that guilds are made to have a better control of the people of the game and it was built by numerous good people in the world of New Life Online to protect, make their people safe and for them to enjoy playing New Life Online. But today, there is still no unity in these guilds and still not accept one another. So this addition will make them work together to beat one of the greatest obstacles they haven't met before. It's almost been a year and yet no one has beaten a single Legendary Boss or a World Boss monster. What does that imply? It means that people of New Life Online are still separated not only by guilds but by trust and power. I hope that this addition will make a difference. There will be an invasion of one of the secret World Bosses and it will start about a month. You still have time to work together or make your own decisions. That's all folks! Can I put my helmet back on?" That will be a harsh addition... If a world boss appears, it can easily destroy towns and even villages in a single night. That would be bad.

After that announcement, I had prepared for lunch and waited for the time I could get back to the game.

I have a lot of regrets but it won't help me change the past right? It's just a game, but I felt like I was really playing like my life depends on it. Kinda stupid but that's the first time I felt so alive again. Fighting monsters, playing with other players and even doing my best to win some events, of course, I messed things up, but I felt so happy. I remember before the accident, my life was dull and full of emptiness, going to school as my parents told me to do so, doing my best not to cause trouble and today, I just did. Thanks to the game, my life became so exciting and full of adventures.

If I can return back to the game, I will be a better player and of course a good fellow people of New Life Online.

After some time, I can now go back to the game. I expect that my friends are already waiting for me because I know that they know that I wouldn't do something like that.

I opened my eyes and... jeez... Just give me a break will ya? All of the Twelve G.o.ds are already surrounding me and even their best members... even Mari's with them...

-Hospital-

*Aurora's POV*

I decided to visit my sister with the fruits that she loves.

"Sis? Are you Ok?" She probably watched the tournament.

"Yeah, Of course, I'm fine, puffy head! Here are your fruits, eat a lot so you will become strong like your sister haha" At least I can now pay her hospital bills. That's all that matters to me.
