Port Yurtek (VII): Rain Of Fire 2

The arrows fell from the sky like missile, and they fell in an even wider area than before. It was unlike anything I've ever done, or have had the chance to see since I started playing lost descendants online. The cobbled streets were blown to smithereens and the infected that were caught within the range of the hyper charged meteor shower skill were turned to smashed lumps of flesh. And it looks like I'm going to be next.

I ran out of the barracks and saw my path blocked by a significant amount of infected, from the look of things this group were either hoping to flank me, or at the very least chase after Jack and Zack. Seeing them in front of me probably pushed my heart into my throat, because if I they slowed me down, I was probably getting blown to bits by a skill I released myself.

{Storm Dance!}

All of a sudden I felt lighter and the world seemed to be a lot slower than normal. Wind and lightening suddenly suffused my body and covered me in an electrical field that would probably shock the living hell out of anyone who reigns to touch it. I placed Sky behind my waist, making sure she was properly secure, before pulling the sword of the sea from my back. Then I moved.

{Lightening Blade}

Maybe I didn't learn my lesson about overkill, but nevertheless this was a time when it was required. The world wasn't really moving in slow motion, rather it could be said that I was the one moving a little too fast. I jumped into the fray of infected swinging my sword and releasing a beam of edge lightning strikes that took out whole swathes of this monsters. I was reaping them in much the same way a farmer would use a sickle to chop down wheat.

This things weren't really strong, the danger came from giving them a chance to prepare their attacks, because those attacks never ended and you would find yourself with a hold burned through your skull in no time at all if you don't react fast enough.

Storm dance had it's MP cost increased from sixty to a 100 after the electric field effect was added. But for a guy with an extensive mana pool like mine, I didn't have much of a problem. Not unless I wanted to use the skills of my armor, and that's when shit gets serious. Either way storm dance had a long cool down of two hundred seconds, and a short duration of ten seconds. It was not nearly enough time for me to spend decapitating a contingent of infected beings. So with 3 seconds left on the clock, I unfurled my wings and took to the sky in a flash.

I beat my wings as hard and as fast as I could, hoping to get enough of a vantage point and distance from the infected. The duration for storm dance came to an end, and the world resumed it's normal pace. Even though it just ended I w as already missing the 300% speed bonus, I felt like the flash. Luckily for me, I had completely moved out of the range of the meteor shower, which was still raining fire and destruction. I honestly holed to God that I didn't meet another player with my set of skills, because it would not be a pleasant experience.

I turned and flew towards the eastern edge of the city, hoping to catch up with Jack and Zack. With what I just left behind, I'm sure that would be more than enough distraction for them and myself to get away. It took my just three minutes to find them, and by then they were already close to the docks and the ship. The front of the ship had a smoldering pule of burnt and ruined flesh, bright red blood flower as the obvious signs of a massacre was displayed. Qitar really wasn't playing around.

Jack and Zack made it to the ship and just in time too as the ship seemed to be starting up and about to sail away I flapped my wings, the sound of them beating against the wind heralding my arrival as I drew closer to them. Then Zack pointed at something behind me and screamed.

"Watch Out!" but it was too late.

*Bang!*

White hot pain lanced through my body as it developed a new hole, I held my hand to my stomach in pain as my wings lost power and I fell from the sky just like the meteors I just rained down. I was close to the harbor by now, but still more than a hundred meters away from the ship. I couldn't focus enough to catch myself as I fell, and that's when I met the ground.

*BAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGG!* *CRUNCH!* *SNAP!* *CRACK!*

I fell on a car, it's entire form and mine crumbling under the force of my fall. My wings were crushed, ruined once again, and this time much worse ad they were in a mangled mess. My overpowered armor was not even strong enough to out a stop to whatever had hit me, which told me that I wasn't dealing with the norm. But even then, I couldn't do anything about it.

{You have been crippled by your fall! -100 to defense and attack until you're healed}

{You have acquired the bleed status effect! -5hp every second until you're healed}

{You have a concussion and have acquired the stunned status effect! -50 to focus and concentration until you're healed.}

{You have been attacked by pla$%#@&...???????/ YOU HAVE BEEN ATTACKED BY A VIRUS/BUG WOULD YOU LIKE TO NOTIFY THE GAME MASTERS} {Y/N}

Even in my dazed state, I chose no. This was a delicate matter, and I doubt there was much the game masters could do without using the games very source code, or finding the exact program/formula that gave birth to the fucking virus. But even with all these thoughts, I still had a fucking hole on my chest and I was gradually bleeding out. I could hear Jack and the others screaming in the distance as their voices got closer, looks like they were coming for me.

But then I felt a cold grip on my wrists, and then someone roughly pulling me from the wreckage of the destroyed car, forcing a cry of pain from my lips as my very broken body hit the pavement hard. I couldn't breathe for a moment, and the pain was so much that all I could see was white, and then the smiling and much younger looking face of my dead sister came into view with a sinister smile on her face.

"Oh my! What do we have here? It's been a long time Aaron, how's life on the outside world. Hope you didn't miss me too much eh!"

"Dahlia!"
