NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

The team started to move based on Bloom's arrangements, as the shield bearer, the martial artist, and the weapon wielders moved in the front, while Gored and he stayed behind protecting everyone.

Brendy just vanished in thin air, using stealth from the beginning. Bloom knew he would go and attack the front, so he didn't mind him though.

Who he watched well was the carder, as he wanted to establish a strong relation with her. She wasn't playing any major role regarding the flow of the game, so she wasn't tagged as his enemy, not yet.

Just as the front players got inside the aggro of the nearest monster, it sniffed their scent, turned to look at them, and roared.

The roar was like a calling, as other monsters drove in, trying to attack the four players up ahead.

"You should use a skill," Gored said to the wizard class player in the team.

"No, wait until they try to attack here," Bloom advised, as he knew staff holder skills usually needed longer time to be used again.

"Wait or go?" the wizard asked, as he moved his eyes between the two in front of him.

"Wait," Gored decided to follow Bloom's advice to the letter. He didn't know why, but words that came out from Bloom carried a strange weight to them, like he was speaking out of complete knowledge.

The four players up ahead were doing fine, dealing with the seven monsters coming at them. Brendy showed up from time to time, hitting a monster with his two blades, creating critical damage, which seemed absurd, even to Bloom.

This assassin was blessed by great luck it seemed. It seemed strange that his name wasn't well known throughout the game before, as usually assassins like him usually had such fame and success all over the game.

Just as a minute passed, and one monster's Hp declines to less than half. It just roared, in a strange tone that the first one, and after that, it moved forward, ignoring the players attacking it, followed by other monsters, to go directly towards the wizard, who didn't use a single skill yet.

"Use your skills now," Bloom blurted out, as he moved to intercept them, "stop their advance, we must halt them here," he added, directing his words to Gored, who just followed his suit, moving with two shields in hands to welcome the incoming monsters.

The monsters' speed was high, so they reached their place in no time at all, while the distant players tried to inflict more damage to them, but they couldn't keep up with this sudden burst of momentum these monsters had.

So, it was now up to the two of them, Bloom and Gored, to stop them, or their wizard would be done for.

Dying in a dungeon needed the whole team to either finish it or to be wiped out, so the killed players would revive again. there was another case, but Bloom doubted that a player here, at this early stage of the game, would obtain such a rare skill, the reviving skill.

The moment Bloom reached the monsters, he started his own barrage of attacks.

"Stab."

"Stab."

"Slice."

"40"

"80"

"100"

Strangely he had two crits of his three attacks, which made him kind of speechless. It seemed the luck that the assassin obtained had affected him as well.

The moment he used slice, he didn't use it to proceed forward, but he used it to flip backward, to return to the starting point, where he was now standing between the wizard and those monsters.

"Block them now," Bloom yelled at Gored, who just stopped two of the monsters in their tracks, and was now going to stop another two.

The two he stopped were just next to Bloom, plus the monster he was attacking, so he linked the attacks, using his two swords to hit the two monsters, each at a time.

"Stab."

"Stab."

"Stab."

"Stab."

"40"

"80"

"80"

"80"

Three crits out of four, that was simply insane! He didn't have time to think, as one monster escaped their defenses. Gored was blocking the path of another two, which made only two monsters free, one at the rear, where the front players were about to kill it, and one at the wizard place, ready to attack the wizard.

"Not under my watch… Ground breaker!"

At this critical moment, Bloom used his defensive skill, for his sword to move backward, magically intercepting the attack of the monster, perfectly putting itself between the monster's claw and the neck of the wizard.

"-20"

"100"

"Retreat you fool," Bloom blurted out, as he let the skill carry him to face that monster, where he linked the attack with two more attacks.

"Stab."

"Slice."

"80"

"100"

Both were crits, and as the stab took the last Hp of the monster, the slice was directed to the next monster, where Bloom let the skill move his body, to the back, to stand, again, between the two monsters and the wizard.

"Stab."

"Stab."

"Stab."

"Stab."

"40"

"40"

"80"

"80"

Two swords, each dealt two skills, with two crits among them, were enough to make all the monsters fall to the ground, motionless, with their Hp hit the rock bottom.

This all happened in mere seconds, but to those who were watching, Bloom seemed to have a miraculous ability to migrate himself, from a place to another, like he was everywhere, blocking and attacking.

All were panting, out of anxiety and stress they just felt. Bloom was no exception, as he realized how hard and taxing it was to clear a dungeon.

"Wow, you have a really nice skill set here," Peri said, while catching her breaths. She said what others were thinking of, even Brendy who was always getting on Bloom's nerves felt the same way, despite not admitting it.

"It's just luck, plus I had help from Brendy's supreme luck," he said as he turned to look at him, "your luck is really a blessing. Most of my attacks were crits!"
