The Place Where Everything Begins

The moment before the fight started...

"Joshua, I think we should help him fight." Said Bob towards his friend, Joshua.

Upon hearing the skinny, tattooed Bob's uncertain words, Joshua, who looked to be well-built and tall, said in bafflement,

"What? Are you for real? No matter how I look, staying behind these barricades is better than going out to fight openly."

Despite his junkie-looking appearance, Bob appeared to be quite soft inside, as he tried to find an excuse to help Jeremy,

"But..."

"Joshua is right. I also think we shouldn't risk ourselves to fight those monsters in the open. As for helping him or not, Mister Jeremy had already stated it clearly, hadn't he? He said earlier if he couldn't handle those creatures, he would retreat back himself. So, there is no need to help him, I guess." Said a middle-aged man in his office suit.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man, Lucas' reasons, a woman in her late 20s named Skylar said,

"That makes sense. As you had seen when Mister Jeremy came to help us, he is very strong like those Olympics gold-medalists. We should wait and see."

"I agree too." Said Greedy Pig in agreement, as he was afraid to fight those creatures in the open.

"Me too." Bad Mouther also chimed in; he only cared about his safety, after all.

When Bob heard those people's opinions, he could only keep his silence,

"..."

"Look, those creatures... What the? They are wolves, right?" Said Thomas, who had remained a bystander earlier.

"Shit! I knew wolves would come, but not this fast... It's just the third wave still." Joshua cursed in fear, for he thought that fighting with those wolves would be troublesome.

"There, Jeremy is clashing with the wolves soon." The blonde-haired Skylar widened her eyes while using one hand to cover her mouth in horror.

"Ah, he is fucked for sure. There are five big wolves." Greedy Pig said after witnessing the sight.

"Serve him right!" Bad Mouther said sarcastically.

"Watch out! Mister Jeremy!" Bob shouted aloud.

However...

*Fwoosh*

As Jeremy swung the spear, the howling-wind sound even reached their positions at almost ten meters away.

*Bam!*

"Arff.."

*Crack*

Accompanying those sounds was a spectacle of Jeremy one-sidedly assaulted the wolves...

In contrast to everyone's expectation, the sight everyone expected to see never happened.

The fight started very fast and ended very fast, as Jeremy had decimated the group of five wolves effortlessly with only some swings of his spear, a kick, and a punch.

It was such a climatic-fight scene that would be etched within their minds for a long time.

"!!"

"!!"

"What the hell?" Bob felt like his mind suddenly went blank after seeing such a sight.

Joshua suddenly got excited, "Do you see that, Bob? He actually finishes those wolves in seconds."

"That man is not normal at all. Is he really an Olympic Gold Medalist like you had said?" Asked a middle-aged man, Lucas, towards Skylar.

"He... he is standing just right in front of the entrance."

"Don't tell me..."

"Holy! He is confronting those skeletons and imps."

"Look at his skillfulness when he attacks. He's just killed two imps in one spear strike."

"Do you hear that sound? Each strike of Mister Jeremy's swing actually creates a wind howl. Terrifying..."

"Those abominable things don't stand a chance against him at all."

"That guy is the real monster..."

Afterward, many exclamations in wonder and astonishment rang out incessantly.

The ten people behind were hooked and captivated, like being enchanted by Jeremy's unlimited charms.

Whenever Jeremy moved one step, at least one creature dropped dead.

Whenever Jeremy retreated one step, another creature would also drop dead.

No matter where he went, he brandished the spear skillfully with no waste movement at all.

Thus, the fight proceeded on with ten people looking fascinatingly at Jeremy's back...

...

At the same time...

Another group of people, to be exact, another 25 people stationing behind wooden traps and barricades some meters away from the right passageway's entrance, were now readying themselves for the upcoming horde of monsters.

With Mitchell and Eddie as their central command, everyone gripped their weapons tightly, waiting nervously for the bloodbath...

When the countdown timer hit zero, everyone finally spotted some creature's silhouettes coming out from within the passageway.

Afterward, everyone finally realized this wave consisted of five wolves at the forefront and many more grotesque creatures at the back.

Many people got scared...

Many people got nervous...

However, their lives were on the line here; they couldn't back down no matter what.

So, harden the minds, they did.

Simultaneously, with a frown between his eyebrows after spotting the wolves, Mitchell suddenly shouted,

"Archers!!"

"Be ready! Only aim at the wolves!"

After six people standing at the front had heard Mitchell's shouts, they nocked their bows with the arrows, waiting patiently for the following command.

Finally...

When the wolves ran out of the passageway, Mitchell gave his order,

"Fire!!"

*Thwish* *Thwish* *Thwish*

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

The sounds of bowstrings being released, followed by the whooshing sounds of arrows traveling through the air, rang out...

*Puchi*

*Puchi*

*Clatter*

*Clatter*

With two arrows hit the body of two wolves, while another four had missed their targets...

After seeing that two wolves were injured with the first wave of arrows, Mitchell gave another command,

"Aim one more time at the wolves!"

"Fire!!"

*Thwish* *Thwish* *Thwish*

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Just like that, the arrows traveled through the air and hit another two wolves...

"Archers, retreat. Warriors, standby!"

With another command from Mitchell, the formation changed to another one with people holding short-ranged weapons moving to the front, stationed behind the barricades and traps instead. At the same time, the six archers retreated to the backline.

Currently, row after row of skeleton soldiers was coming out of the entrance, whereas several imps were flying above those boney creatures' heads.

Each of the skeleton soldiers held varied weapons such as a short knife, sharp bone, long sharp pole, and so on.

It seemed like they were also upgraded with better weapons and gears, just like Earthlings did.

"Be prepared for the clash! Steel your fucking ass!!" Shouted Eddie, who stood at the formation's most center while holding an iron sword and shield.

Soon...

*Bam* *Slash*

*Thump* *Bam*

*Whoosh* *Crunch*

The melee fight finally broke out with the Earthlings' side had the locational advantages as they had built many barricades and traps to slow down the outlanders.

"Don't let them through. Shielders, push them out!!"

"Aarghh!! Die, bastards!"

"Archers fire at the imps!"

"Warriors, aim at the neck area."

"Damn, I'm wounded. Substitute me."

Command after command being relayed to everyone continuously while everyone was also doing their best to meet the expectations of those commands.

...

While the fight on the right passageway was as intense as it could be, the battle on the left passageway was something entirely different.

*Whoosh*

*Crack* *Crack*

*Whoosh*

*Crunch*

Astonishing enough, the fight on this side was initiated with one human against an army comprised of tens of skeleton soldiers and several imps.

'I wonder how those guys are doing. It is so boring here, for these skeletons can't even come close to me.'

Jeremy thought leisurely about the people stationed at another passageway.

As the fight here was not satisfactory enough, Jeremy felt a bit disappointed.

'I will just think of this as a warm-up before going through the second door then...'

With that thought in mind, Jeremy plunged the spear blade accurately towards the incoming imp.

*Fwoosh*

*Puchi*

As an imp's body was very small, only a spear thrust was enough to detach its head from the body.

Just like that, one imp dropped to the ground headlessly, dead...

Meanwhile, at almost ten meters behind Jeremy, those ten people were not standing idly, as some outlanders had walked past Jeremy to the back.

Thus, the people from behind had to fight, too, albeit with only a minimal amount of skeleton soldiers and some imps.
