Re: Player

The body of Rheina Ostera fell on the ground before exploding right in front of everyone. The smell of burnt and charred meat emanated a strange odor. The sight wasn't really a pleasant one either.

But even then…

"YEAAH!!!!" cheered in unison all the men and women, as they saw the monster falling on the ground.

He was the last of the monsters in this wave. And given the nature of things, this should be the boss monster of the wave. He was stronger than the rest of them, strong enough to topple most of the city by itself.

Sadly…

"MORE ARE COMING!!" shouted one of the archers as he looked deep into the forest, with his eyes shaking a little. Not just him, but most of the people could feel the tension rising as they sensed the mana from the forest.

"Are you freaking kidding me?!!" One of the players on the frontline shouted as he looked at the incoming monsters' levels.

[Tigera Drake Lvl 72!]

[Merth Worm Lvl 78!]

[Wasp Liliet Lvl 70!]

And there were more. At least 100s of them.

The players who were prepared to fight at least lvl 50 monsters with all the buffs they had now had their eyes bewildered as they looked at the scene.

And the worst part was…

[Survive for 30 minutes!]

There was still a lot of time left for the quest to be over.

Forget about the players, even the NPCs looked at those monsters with a complicated expression. Their eyes were trying to figure out exactly what they should be doing right now.

And as confusion and panic was mixing in among the people, a voice came from the top of the city gate, where sat a man casually eating an apple.

"You guys seem to be in a bit of a pinch. Mind if I give a little push?" That man, Wesker, spoke as he smiled before looking down at the panicked crowd of players and NPCs.

Everyone, whether it was the NPCs or the players, anticipated what was going to happen. While the NPCs had a general idea, the players could only make guesses on the powers of Wesker.

-Roar!!!

Shouted one of the monsters as it reached almost 100 meters away from the city walls.

"Array Magic: In the resolution of what's best," he spoke as he raised his hand, and a swirl of air flowed around the entire battlefield before papers… or, to be more precise, arrays began flowing.

Those arrays touched a couple of players

[You have received a boost of +20 Strength for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +20 Wisdom for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +20 Intelligence for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +20 Constitution for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +20 Dexterity for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +20 Strength for 5 minutes!]

[You have received a boost of +1,000% Health Regeneration for 5 minutes!]

And the messages didn't stop. And unlike the previous times, where only one array could be used at a time, this time they were stacking.

The players. They looked at their new stats. Their abilities. Their eyes widened at what had just happened. Each of their stats were in at least 200s or 300s.

And knowing what it meant, a huge grin of excitement crept over their faces. They looked at those incoming monsters as if a predator was looking at a prey… or perhaps a plaything?

-Whoosh!

The first player jumped.

-Whoosh!

Another followed.

And soon, everyone ran towards those monsters, engaging in full throttle battle, with no care of their own safety. The players didn't care about dying at all. All they saw was a chance to go all out where they could use as much strength as they wanted.

Wesker specifically used those arrays only on the players. Whether they were ranged, or close combat, he gave them all boosted stats. It was an event that brings out the madness of even the most docile players.

A cheat like event where you can go beast mode without any worry.

This was what Wesker had prepared for the players in the last few months. This was the best he could do right now to give them an unforgettable experience.

-Bam!

The ranged players jumped down and started running towards the beasts as well. They too wanted to take a bite of this event, and didn't want to be left behind.

"ROAR!!!!" One of the stronger monsters, a Lvl 97 snake like monster, roared as it activated all its regenerating abilities. But this made the players even more excited to kill it.

The snake tried to run away, but the combat players were faster. The ranged one relentlessly attacked, most of their attacks hitting their own players, but nobody cared.

It was total madness, as those players ran around that monster, trying their best to kill it without any shred of hesitation. The snake monster pushed back, and even succeeded in severely injuring some, but they all just healed in an instant before attacking that monster again.

Since it was the last wave, Wesker made sure to have a good number of monsters to be killed by the players. Each stronger than the other.

Because of the [Level 10] limit, he didn't need to worry about dis-balancing the game. The only advantage these players could gain was to shoot their attacks multiple times and increase their grading. Most probably reaching [Rare] or [Advance].

But that's something that wasn't too much of a rule breaking. Just a bit of an advantage these players will have over the other players.

[10 minutes!]

Before everyone can say anything, the time almost reached the end as almost all the monsters were killed.

'All right. Let's wrap this up,' Wesker thought as he saw the number of monsters had reached in single digits. But as soon as the players killed the last monster, something unexpected happened.

A new monster, something that Wesker didn't plan, appeared in front of everyone. It was a humanoid monster that had a strange black goo all over his body. He gave a rather strange aura off its body.

But the most noticeable thing about that monster was.

[??? Lvl ??]

His name and levels weren't visible. At least not to the players. They kept a distance from this eerie monster until one of the players decided to jump in.

-Whoosh!

But then…

-Splash!

He was killed without anyone noticing how. His body splashed onto the ground while that monster just stood there without any movements.

For the next few moments, everyone just stood there without making any movements. They wondered what they should do next. Their eyes fixated on that black goo monster in front of them.

-Throw!

And then another player, a ranged one, threw a knife at that monster.

-Whoosh!

Only to be killed with that monster's hands stuck between his chest. The death seemed gruesome, something out of a gore horror movie, making the rest of the players take a step back from him subconsciously.

Nobody even saw when that monster reached that player. Or when he moved. Nobody except Wesker, that is.

"All right. Leena. Anna. It's time for you guys," and Wesker spoke as his eyes turned serious while he jumped down on the ground. Leena and Anna appeared from the shadows behind him, their eyes as serious as Wesker's, while the three of them looked at the 'extra monster' that appeared in front of them.
