[Forrest Gump Level 223!]

And it stood there. That freaking boss monster stood there menacingly while I sighed, looking at it.

'It must be Nvida,' I should have expected this from her, given how she likes to be involved in anything that happens in this forest.

'Well. It's her forest, so I guess…' I was a bit irritated. But then, on a second thought, it wasn't really a bad thing either.

"Anna, you cage him. Leena, I'll leave the offense to you," I commanded as I looked at that monster. From what I remember, this monster won't attack you as long as you don't attack first.

But I don't want Leena or Anna to get hurt either…

"[True Essence of Light: Prison of the Brighter Realm!]" Anna spoke as she raised her hand towards that monster. With her eyes focused, she generated a huge amount of energy.

The energy was focused around the monster, and not on him. Hence, there were still no movements from the monster. As for the players, they slowly backed off, while simply observing the 'new' battle with their eyes brimming with excitement.

"[Flame Creation]" Leena spoke as her eyes glowed red and about 100s of flame balls appeared in the air above the monster. Slowly revolving around that monster.

"[Circulation of Flames!]" She chanted again, connecting those flames with a small thread like flare, while the flames revolved around the monster. And when they reached close enough, near the monster.

"[Flame Eruption!]" she spoke again, blasting all those flames at that monster. However, that was only the beginning,

"[Reemergence: Infinite Flare!]" Leena added with a smirk, as those barrages of flame that were depleting before were now being formed continuously as they took mana from the surrounding.

Leena has finally tapped into her potential. To be able to use the mana of the surrounding along with her own mana. That is the true essence of being a witch. An ordinary mage could never do that.

"ROAR!!!"

-BAM!!!!

That beast moved towards Leena, trying to break the cage, but was held back by Anna's powers. Though it wasn't like there was no damage as some parts of the cage vanished from there.

"It can last 2 more hits," Anna said as she analyzed her magic, while the three of us were walking towards that monster. One step at a time.

"Nah, it can do more than that," I smiled with a bit of a smirk.

"[Array Magic: Web of Devolution!]" And then I used a magic I had been working on for a long time. I had to use a bit of [Returns] to learn it, but thankfully I was able to reach that level where I can somewhat do it.

To create arrays in the air, that is.

"Just like…" Leena was surprised to see those arrays flowing through the air.

"…father," Anna completed Leena's sentence as she looked at those arrays in amazement.

In essence, this air array belonged to Yemir, since he was the one who created it. But that never meant he was the only one capable of doing it.

"The heck is that?! Are those arrays?!!" The players who were witnessing it for the very first time shouted as well. They were excited to see this power, while they looked at those arrays reaching that monster.

That monster tried escaping the cage again, but those arrays covered his body all over, absorbing the powers it had, and thus weakening it to a considerable extent.

-BAM!

"Open the cage," I spoke to Anna, making her nod and release that spell, as I moved towards that monster.

Considering how powerful this array was, this monster's strength should be decreased by at least 60%. But that's only the beginning.

"Array convulsion," I said as those paper arrays also began enveloping him, weakening his already weakened body.

-Whoosh!

-Thud!

And as it tried to run after me, I made it fall on its legs while more and more of those arrays along with my array magic covered its body.

I smiled as I looked at that monster on its legs, barely able to get out of the clutches of those endless arrays. Moving my hand towards my pocket, I then took out a small knife that was about the size of one's palm.

"I don't really like to kill. But I don't think I have a choice here. Apologies, but," I then put that knife on its neck while I reduced the defenses on the area where I was cutting its neck.

-Slash!

[You have killed a Level 223 Forrest Gump!]

[+50,000,000 Exp received!]

And at the center of revolving arrays, I stood as I saw that monster turning to dust. While the other players looked at me with amazement in their eyes. Those who didn't know me were curious about me, while those who did were amazed even more.

"This should be enough, I guess," I spoke as I then walked back towards Leena and Anna, who were waiting for me.

"Let's go back. Our work is done here," I spoke as they nodded with a smile before Leena started discussing what we should make for dinner tonight.

The town gate opened up, as I looked at the player, [Tinkerbella], observing me with the same mesmerized look as the other players. Perhaps I shouldn't get involved with the players and let them be.

It was better to prepare for the official release from now on.

But then…

"Hey, Tinkerbella. Come with us. Today we are going to make something yummy and special!" Leena, who has grown familiar with Tinkerbella, spoke out in excitement, while Tinkerbella felt dumbfounded a little.

Suddenly all the players around started looking at Tinkerbella making her embarrassed as she put her head down for a few moments.

"Tinkerbella. Are you coming or not?" Anna then spoke out, making her shriek a little, before she nodded and moved with us.

"Where are your friends? Call them too," Leena added, trying to make things not too difficult for her. And I could only sigh in the end.

And somehow, all those 7 players that were there during the night I gave them missions, joined us for the afternoon lunch that we were going to have.

'Though I wonder how many hours they have since the time for beta release is almost up,' I thought as I looked at the clock from the System.

[Beta Release ends in: 54 minutes!]

"Seems like we got time to kill, huh?" I mumbled as I walked in the center with Leena and Anna beside me. And the rest of the players right behind us were chatting and laughing as they discussed the [Quest Rewards] they got.

Some of them were exchanging their emails, before [Raven] suggested creating a group for the eight of them. Perhaps they could build a guild as well? They were surely discussing a lot of things, both in-game and real life ones.

After that, time passed pretty fast as they all chatted, ate some food and had a fun time together. And before we knew it, the clock ticked to its final seconds and the beta player bid goodbye to each other.

Leena and Anna were confused, but they bid goodbye, too. And within the next few seconds, all the 8 players vanished from there, surprising Leena and Anna, even though they knew what was going to happen.

I had a bit of a laugh at their expression before I started planning for the future… though I wonder what 'Adam' is doing right now.

'Hopefully… nothing too crazy. Right?'
