New Life Online 249 Defending The Life Guild

*Elou's POV*

They've reached us. Lili created a large barrier with the help of Lyra with her violin support spells. But it won't last long.

North area doesn't have any problems because Heart Fire guild's troops can't get close with Petula's summoning spells and Meraz's powerful hors.e.m.e.n.

"BAAAAM BAAAAM!" Raven's are using their flight spells while using different range attacks and spells from above! I need to help them soon or the barriers won't last long. Lili's support spells are way too strong but it will not be enough to stop two armies from two sides.

"RAAAAAAAAAAWR!" It's Elle's summon from East! It came out of the barrier and wreaking havoc from below. Warriors and defenders from Raven's are trying to stop it but it was so strong that everything they try to do is useless.

I rushed towards East because it's the place we're having trouble with. I need to find their leader, Siren and stop her from advancing.

-Life Guild, East Gate-

I reached the East wall and I checked the area carefully and it seems like only Chiron is defending the gate behind the wall while Elle is out of the barrier, smas.h.i.+ng everything on her path with her friend. Oh, right... I sent the others to track down Scy... We're screwed.

"What's the situation here?" Chiron's really busy slaughtering those who are smas.h.i.+ng the barrier from outside.

"They can't get past the barrier for now so I'm just trying to poke them and make sure no one can enter our guild," He's really lucky the barrier is st.u.r.dy.

"I won't let anyone get past this wall!" No need to shout...

"I know you will. The barrier will soon to perish and we won't stand a chance. Please do your best to survive."

Upon looking at the situation, there's a lot of bodies from below. Petula's doing great when it comes to slaughtering charging opponents from below but having troubles. .h.i.tting targets from above. Those d.a.m.n birds. Time to shoot some!

"FALCON'S EYE!" I enhanced my eyesight and tried to inspect the area and from afar and waiting for the right time, finally, there's Siren. I knew that she won't charge first and will slaughter us later when she can enter our guild but I won't let her do that! She can't do it if I kill her first.

I pulled the best arrow I have from my quiver and I'm now preparing to take a shot. She's really far that a high-level archer won't ever hit her from this distance. But I'm no archer, I'm just a man who can pierce the heart of a woman even at the edge of the earth.

"WIND ENHANCEMENT! WIND ARROW SNIPE!"

*ZWOOOOs.h.!.+* I shot my arrow and I have a good feeling that it will reach her. I shot thousands of arrows my whole life and I never felt this sure before. We're on a verge of losing but here I am getting excited from a single shot.

-Outside Life Guild-

*Siren's POV*

Those insects are going to be eaten alive soon. I will make sure that their guild won't be making a spot in this world's map as they used to be. They're sh*t and there's no place for sh*t here. I need to think of a good winning phrase, probably "Eat that Sh*t!"... It sounds rude but I'm supposed to be rude and powerful. I need to make them pay for what they did to me last time! This life guild! Ugh... no point of thinking too much. Our win rate today is high and I will make sure that I won't lose.

"Siren, an arrow is coming towards your direction. Please be careful." An arrow, where? I checked carefully and... from above! How on earth can someone shot an arrow from there that can reach me here! d.a.m.n it! It's too late to dodge!

"RAVEN'S WRATH!" I used my monster soul out of panic!

"BAAAAAAM!" Woah! Just in time, Raven's wings are tough that the arrow pierced it but it didn't go through me. Raven saved my life once again.

"That sh*t! Can you break that barrier already?! What a bunch of sh*ts!" I sounded so rude, but I'm supposed to be rude...

-Life Guild, East Gate-

*Elou's POV*

What?! How is that even possible. My shot failed! It looks like another surprise attack won't work against her again.

"RAAAAAAAAWR!" Elle's summon got a lot of attention that instead of the barrier, they focused their power first to take the summon down because it is doing a lot of damage to their troops. Defending alone cut their numbers to one-fourth. Both guilds have less than five thousand players, I'm not sure, but because of the forest terrain, they can't have a good position that they can't attack at the same time. This area is a good natural defensive tactic.

They brought fewer people this time, I guess that's the only people Order of Light can afford.

"We're running out of mana! What should we do?!" Petula's not doing well either, same as Meraz trying to maintain his summon hors.e.m.e.n. They've even used a lot of mana potions already but it was worth it enough because they dealt with lots of damage. Even if they get killed today, I'm sure using a lot of spells leveled up their masteries already that worth the death.

"Rest for a bit. I will keep them busy." I got the supplies with lots of arrows ready. Picked a lot at once and readied to fire.

"ARROW RAIN!" There's no time to save ammo. I will make sure that every arrow takes a life or two. We will defend this place even if we lose everything.

*BAAAAM BABABAAAAM!* I aimed at those flying pests and killed a lot but their numbers are way too many. They are also moving incredibly fast. If Akko was here, I'm sure it would be a lot easier if I can borrow her overpowered fire spells.

I did my best to keep them away but still, I can't stop them alone. Raven's won't stop hitting the barriers from above. I can't feel my fingers anymore from using my bow repeatedly. I need to rest but my heart won't let me. I already killed a lot of them but seeing their fallen comrades won't take away their urge to break the barrier. It's like they don't value their lives because they know that they will just resp.a.w.n and they are all prepared to die. They might have the quant.i.ty but not quality.

*CRACKS* The barriers are almost at their limits. I can tell that the attacks from Ravens are working and it won't take long before the fall of our guild. I have to do something...

Oh, right! Scy's flute, we might get help from the elves! They're not far from here. Their territory has a magical barrier that makes their area covered in illusions making their place hard to find from predators. I'm sure they won't help us because they won't stand a chance but... still, I have to try. So, I decided to use it.

*FLUTE SOUNDS* I used it for almost a minute and... then I was right. They should be here by now or at least a hundred of them like last time Scy used it but with the Raven and Hearth Fire's army aura, there's no way they would help us.

I inspected the place but still, no one showed up... d.a.m.n it. The flute worked but they don't have the will to help. But wait... there's one! It's, it's the Elf guy! He's the one who ambushed us from last time. He's hiding from a tree but I can tell that he really wanted to help but got scared. I have an idea... I took out a small paper and then wrote something. After that, I tied it to the arrow.

I shot it to the Elf guy's direction and it looks like he saw it. He grabbed it and ran away. I wish he read the message and hope that he could at least understand English and do what I asked him to do.

*CRACKS!* Unfortunately, after trying our best to defend our guild, the barriers finally shattered and now, two armies are on their way to destroy our guild.

"Now, it's not the time to protect but to kill anyone you see! Let's show them how the Life guild turns into Beheaders! GARUDA BEAST'S WRATH!"
