MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

"Shura!"

Jane, who was trying to heal Ali with her measly healing skills, ran towards Shura when she saw him getting thrown like a five-year-old kid.

"W-what in the world is that thing…"

"Praise be upon Goddess Aphrodite! Punish me, for I have sinned!"

The people who remained in the room panicked when they saw the huge, fat monstrosity. One of the religious ministers immediately bowed down to the goddess that he believed in.

—-Kachak!

Before anyone could move him or even say anything, the monster with a giant body ran towards the man at a speed faster than a horse's, and immediately chomped the minister's head off in a single bite from his large, flowery and thorned mouth.

He didn't even wait before crunching down on the skull of the minister, and gulping it down with ease.

—-KRRROOUNNGHHH!

The monstrosity born out of a corrupted king ran rampant as some people cried, some begged and some tried to run away. But it kept on killing everyone one by one.

Shouting around, it finally turned towards where Ali, Elexis and Gomchul were standing.

To be precise, he looked at the bleeding hand of Ali.

—-Kuaanggh!

It started running on all fours towards the group, and Elexis, who was right in front, used a skill.

All her body armour and her sword started to form a bigger shape, as if an aura of the shape of her equipment and weapons was getting created and was creating silhouette.

Before the monster could even reach Ali, above Elexis's head was the shape of a proud and giant woman created out of aura. She slashed her giant sword at the wretched spawn, and the monster instinctively crouched back.

"Valkyrie' Avatar!"

Elexis shouted and started chasing the monster more than 40 levels higher than her.

"Valkyrie's Judgement!"

Her sword shined, so did the sword of the Valkyrie avatar above her, and she slashed it down on the monster.

[Your party member Elexis has dealt 56,595 damage to the target.]

[Your party member Elexis has dealt 61,345 damage to the target.]

[Your party member Elexis has dealt 67,234 damage to the target.]

In those three strikes, she had lowered the monster's health by more than 10%.

'Amazing!'

Shura, who had stood up, saw this scene and couldn't help but be amazed. This was the power of a ranker! A true ranker in the making!

—-Kroonngghhh!

The monster shrieked, realising that the woman couldn't attack it anymore.

—-Wrrooonnnghhh!

The monster opened his horrific mouth and ran back towards Elexis, who had dared to injure him!

He opened his mouth, and a blob of dark energy started gathering in his mouth at a rapid pace. After just a second, it shot the dark energy in a beam towards Elexis.

"Valkyrie's Protection!"

Elexis shouted and put her shield in front of her. The valkyrie on her head also brought up a giant shield and shielded the beam from the monster.

After taking almost all of the hit, the avatar of the valkyrie faded away and Elexis was thrown back by two steps, but she still stood on her toes.

But that wasn't the end, the monster didn't give her time to rest and immediately ran for her.

Just as she tried to lift her sword, her stance wavered and she fell to the ground.

"I-I'm sorry. I have a 5 seconds immobilisation penalty after using my ultimate."

Elexis apolised and closed her eyes, waiting to be devoured by the wretched spawn.

"Face! Gomchul!"

Gomchul taunted and the monster's attention was immediately shifted to him. The monster opened its large mouth and attacked Gomchul, attempting to bite off his head.

"Eat this! Berserk!"

Gomchul cried out, using the berserk skill and throwing both his axes in the wretched spawn's mouth.

'What a dumbass! Letting go of his weapon in such a situation!'

Shura panicked and ran towards Gomchul, Jane who had gone to check on Shura also followed behind him.

—-Kakakakak!

The monster tried to use his intimidating shout again, but he couldn't use his mouth due to the two axes stuck in it.

"Woah! This guy is truly a genius!"

[Party member 'Gomchul' had discovered a weak spot of the opponent!]

[Dealing damage at the weak spot will deal extra damage!]

Gomchul smiled triumphantly, seeing that his trick had worked. But just the next second, a large claw directly hit his stomach and sent him rolling on the ground.

"Ugghhh! That stings motherfucker!"

"...."

His skin literally was torn off and his inner flesh was showing. But all he felt was a little sting?

Shura was speechless. But he didn't want his first knight to die like an idiot, so he ran at the back of the monster and put both his weapons back.

"What are you doing Shura???! Why did you keep your weapons back?"

Jane asked worriedly, while Diane and Francis kept taking down the people who were trying to run away or sneak attack us during the gang's crisis.

Well, there weren't many people left anyways, the wretched spawn had killed most of them.

'No matter what, I am the strongest when I am not using my weapons.'

Shura proclaimed inside his brain, and it was true to an extent.

As long as he had enough mana, he had skills far stronger than any mages or magicians! He didn't even need to chant for them, and the overall power was far greater than anybody could ever think of!

Shura pointed his palm towards the monster, and slowly his transformation was undone. His metallic tail grew on his back, two curved horns regrew on his head. His human-like teeth turned into two canines and his skin colour slowly changed into a tough, leathery grey.

His tail wagged around as if freed from some restraint and a large influx of mana started gathering at Shura's palm.

'What….what is he doing?'

Diane, Francis, Jane, Elexis and most of all Ali looked at Shura in surprise.

Ali looked so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. The only one who was grinning like a fool was Gomchul, who was happy that his axes were stuck in the monster's mouth and now Shura was back in form!

He had already seen Shura use magic before so he wasn't as shocked as the others.

'Well, that guy backed off after seeing Elexis's Valkyrie. Maybe it was due to divine power? Let's try this…'

Although Shura had a pitiful amount of divine power in him, that power stemmed not from believing in any god or goddess, but from his own Divinity state.

[Elemental Vortex (Fire) Lv6 is being activated.]

The mana gathering around Shura's hand started heating up, alarming the monster who was still struggling with Gomchul's axe stuck in his mouth. It immediately turned towards Shura and tried to attack him from his claws.

"Oh, no you don't. Vine shackles!"

Ali, who was slowly recovering, used his own magic and a bunch of vines started sprouting out of the ground, immobilising the monster's claws, even if it was for a moment.

[Sub skill, Dual elemental vortex has been activated!]

The fire that was red-ish orange in colour turned lighter and lighter, and turned into golden flames. The amount had considerably shrunk but the amount of danger this swirling golden vortex of fire held could be felt from even outside the castle.

"Elemental Vortex! Divine flames!"

Shura shouted and the small vortex in his hand grew into a large tornado and engulfed the wretched spawn that had just freed himself from the vines.

—-Kuooonngg!!

[You have dealt 433,539 damage to the target!]

[The target has been burnt by divine flames!]

[The target will continue to lose 2% of its total HP every second for 10 seconds!]

[You have less than 5% mana remaining, you'll be in a mana exhausted state for 10 seconds.]

—-Kuoannggg!

Shura fell down to the ground, and Francis came running towards him and supported him.

"S-stop lazing around and attack it together with everyone while you have the chance!"

Shura shouted at Francis, who was confused for a second before he came back to his senses and told everyone to attack the creature with all their abilities.

After a continuous onslaught, only less 15% of the monster's total HP was remaining.

[The monster has entered an enraged state! Its defence has increased considerably and its attack power has decreased by a bit.]

Another ominous notification greeted everyone.

Just then, Shura stood up again, after going through the 10 second penalty.

—-Kounnghh!

"Yeah I know your shout it ugly, you don't need to remind me again and again!"

Shura said with a displeased expression, feeling weak all over his body. Mana exhaustion was no joke.

He took out Eclipse and ran straight towards the monster who had just gotten his defence increased.

"Get back Shura! What are you doing!"

Diane shouted, and Jane was horrified. Was he so fond of death?

[You party member Jane has used 'Agile Blessing' on you.]

[For the next 8 seconds, attack speed is increased by a hundred percent! Every hit will regenerate 10% of the damage dealt to the enemy as your own HP! Movement speed has increased by 50%.]

'Holy fucking nice!'

Shura cried out in his heart. The reason why Jane's healing abilities were so weak was because she specialised in buffs as a support class. And this kind of buff was definitely one of the top tear buffs.

Of course, it won't be useful to many people with classes that didn't depend on basic attacks, but for Shura, this buff had just guaranteed victory!

"Goodbye ugly bastard! See how ugly politics has turned you!"

Shura cursed and the monster tried to attack Shura sloppily with whatever was left of its burnt limbs. But due to the blessing, Shura was extremely agile and started attacking the monster.

"...what is he doing?"

"Does he think such light scratches will kill him?"

"Even I don't know what he's trying to do…."

Francis and Elexis asked, and Gomchul shook his head as he replied. Even he wasn't sure why his master was suddenly attacking the monster with such light attacks.

But soon, everyone's eyes started getting wider and wider when they saw the amount of damage that was being dealt to the monster.

[You have dealt 890 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt…..]

[You have…]

[Eclipse's option effect is activated! 1% of the target's total HP has been dealt as True damage that ignores all defences!]

[You have dealt…..]

[You…..]

[Eclipse's option effect is activated! 1% of the target's total HP has been dealt as True damage that ignores all defences!]

The monster's remaining HP started draining like sand out of a funnel. The increased attack speed buff did wonders and the monster kept crying in agony, before suddenly, it burst into particles of light and faded into the courtroom.

"..."

Everyone stared at Francis who had made the comment.
