Chapter 653 Cap 651: Zenos Causes A Wave Of Monsters Part 11(Chapter Preview)
Pov Adventurer’s:
One day I was drinking at the bar with the Adventurer Group to which I belong, I am a Wolf Demon, I have mixed blood with the Beast Men race, so I was abandoned as a child.
But luckily a veteran Adventurer with no family saw potential in me and trained me, he raised me as his son while training me to be an Adventurer like him.
It was at the time of my first mission that I found my wife, a beautiful Dark Elf who almost killed me when I met her, I fell in love at first sight with that incredible warrior.
It’s been a few years since then, the life of an Adventurer is difficult, but also amazing, I don’t know if I’ll be able to live without it one day, just today I was hunting a Metal Eater, a Lizard whose scales are made of the metal they eat, this monster was attacking merchants’ carriages, to beat him we had to use poison and attack his eyes, during his scream our mage used a high level thunder element magic inside his mouth.
We accepted this quest precisely because we knew it was perfect for our group, now we are celebrating at the bar with a share of the quest money as usual, at least until a friend pulled me out of the bar.
He was a Gray Elf friend of my wife, he told me that a Monster Wave was going to happen in a few months, I had heard rumors about it, but I didn’t take it seriously, but now I see it was true.
He said that the village of the Elves in the Poison Forest was in danger, even before he finished I knew what he was going to say, they want my help, not only my help, but they must be calling many others besides me.
I immediately agree, knowing my wife, I know very well that she will be on the front lines without fear as this is the type of Warrior I fell in love with.
He was surprised that I agreed to this so quickly, but even so, I told him to go keep meeting more people while I went to talk to my group, I talked to my group about it and they all said they would help me, at least before we know more about this Monster Wave.
In the end, after months of waiting, I got the message from my wife and went alone, that’s why my groupmates each went to their respective hometowns, it seems that this Monster Wave would affect the entire continent.
In the caravan that I took to reach the Elves’ village in Venon Stronghold City of the Black Empire, there were many Adventurers, knights, soldiers, and mages.
Everyone was going for the same reasons as me, some of them even resigned from their jobs as the Knight and the Soldiers, just to be able to defend the village from the Elves.
When I arrived in the village I realized how strange everything was, I had already been to the Poisonous Forest a few times and I had never seen the weather so aggressive, in addition, I remembered my wife saying that over the years there have been changes in some parts of the forest by various elements such as a mountain becoming a volcano, a valley becoming covered in ice and a stretch of swamp becoming a desert over the course of a few decades.
When I arrived in the village, they told me the reason for this, they talked about the problem of the World Tree, about the danger that the entire continent can suffer in a little over 100 years, and about finding a way to save the World Tree.
I was shocked about these apocalyptic revelations, it didn’t take a genius to associate it with the strange weather and different areas through the Poisonous Forest.
I spent day and night training relentlessly to get stronger and stronger to be prepared for the Wave of Monsters, I had to be strong enough to defend myself and my wife if she needed help.
I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, many others thought that way, and each one did everything they could thinking about it, even the theoretical mages who came to help started preparing attack magic rituals and magic traps.
Everyone did their part and it remained that way until the day they arrived, I heard that one of the village council elders personally went to look for someone, that’s why when he came back everyone was curious about this person, my wife told me it was a guest of honor from the village that the very Elf Queen I have never seen would personally receive.
I was near the center of the village that day and I saw the elder Joseph, he was with a young Vampire, but I knew he was not normal by his eyes, any real Adventurer could see the danger inside those calm eyes, that was a horrible monster disguised as a child.
But strangely I wasn’t scared of him, even though I realized he was dangerous and possibly someone of Grade SSS, I just felt he wasn’t an enemy, he walking around the village felt right as if he was always here, which was strange already that this was supposed to be his first time here from what my wife told me.
After this Vampire boy arrived things started to move quickly, the very next day thousands of people came out of nowhere to help in the battle against the Wave of Monsters, these people were of several different races, some of them were even Humans which would have spawned trouble in a normal situation, but in a crisis, every extra person was appreciated, even if it was to be used as a shield of flesh.
Soon I found out where these people came from, I found out that the Vampire boy was a Dungeon Master, I had never heard about it, but that day I discovered the meaning of that title and how dangerous that boy really is.
Fortunately, that monster was on our side, and thanks to him we had a completely safe place for children, the elderly, and non-combatants to be able to hide in complete safety.
During the days that followed it was carnage, the monsters were far stronger and more numerous than any Monster Wave I’ve ever been part of.
Also, many could have died during the days the Monster Wave lasted, luckily only 852 people died, a much lower number than anticipated. π·πΉβ΄πΏπ.π¬πΈπ
This was thanks to the large number of people fighting and the lifesaving bracelets that the Dungeon people gave to everyone, otherwise, we might all have died in this Monster Wave, my wife was one of the people saved by this miraculous item, and by that, I will be eternally grateful.
