NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

The arrows howled towards the two towers without warning while the NPCs there were shocked by this. They thought Bloom would just jump off the tower after clearing it and come after them.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Despite concentrating their fires over him, the surprise attack paralyzed their minds and made them unable to adapt. The next moment the two towers were badly hit and all the NPCs over them were deeply hurt before falling off the towers.

Then the two towers got their upper parts smashed into smaller pieces and crashed from all this distance down the ground.

"Your turn now," Boom didn't celebrate as he knew his main target was still alive. That was thanks to the sacrifices of his men. But now Bloom added one more lethal weapon to the mix.

"Die you bastard!" Bloom pressed the trigger while shouting in rage. The arrows landed from such close distance and high up position upon the head of the mayor and his men.

And in no time the large number of NPCs got smashed into shreds, being fixed to the ground unable to move a muscle anymore.

"Damn you!" the mayor cursed yet the arrows came faster than his activation of the scroll. Alongside the roaring swords of his skill, the body of the mayor turned into a honeycomb.

"System alert: player managed to dispel the scroll."

"System alert: Player killed the mayor."

"System alert: the mayor has a revival token and will be revived in one hour."

"System alert: as long as a single force belonging to the mayor is still standing, the town won't be crushed."

Bloom listened to these alerts while feeling a faint anger and no surprise. He already suspected the mayor's association with the dark side.

The abnormal monster tide from before and his strange reaction to his attacks over the caravans raised many doubts inside his mind.

Yet he lacked any evidence to condemn the mayor and gain one more soul to increase his rewards.

"Time to clear the town then," he threw all that behind his back and started to point the ballista towards the ground guards and then fired.

The guards went helpless in front of this dual assault. They first tried to regroup and retreat away but Bloom never let them do what they wanted.

"Press forward," he shouted, "use everything to stop them!"

He shouted at his clones and they just used the same tactic he used before to bypass the walls.

Then they dashed over their targets and caused enough ruckus to the guard ranks.

"Jump over!" he shouted and his pets started to ignore the gate and the walls before mimicking him and his clones.

Then the fight turned into a simple massacre.

With him high in the air, and with such a brutal weapon in his hand no single guard managed to escape this slaughterhouse alive.

"Good," he nodded before opening his map and started to scan the entire town for any remaining hostiles.

"Five at the northern gate… ten running at that street…" he started to count the remaining forces. They were scattered and he knew they wouldn't regroup.

After all, as long as one person was still standing off the guards, he wouldn't gain full control over the town.

"Take a hundred monsters and go in that direction," he started to shout at the remaining clones alive. He sent them into five different directions to kill the remaining fifty or something guards around the town.

"I can't leave you baby behind," he finally had time to pay over the big ballista. "I will store you inside," he tried to move it inside his inventory yet he received a system message.

"System alert: player can't store full size ballista in his inventory."

"System alert: player has to disassemble it to store it."

"Hmm… let's see," he wasn't well aware of how ballistae were assembled in this game but he simply followed any movable part and broke it apart fast.

Then he put each part inside his inventory and he finally succeeded.

"Now it's only the problem of arrows," he glanced at the small tubes around and found a few arrows left there to be used in the ballista.

The ballista he got had a place to put these cylindrical tubes inside and launch arrows fast towards any target.

He saw how lethal these arrows were, and having such a weapon with not enough arrows was a dilemma to him.

"The other ballistae," his eyes suddenly shone before hurrying to climb down the wooden tower.

Then he jumped off towards the place of the damaged towers.

"Sigh, they got broken," he first examined the two ballistae and found many pieces smashed, yet others were intact. "Not a waste," he stored them at once before checking what he initially came here for.

"That's better," he grinned while storing away all the tubes he found. The tubes were made of special ore and they luckily didn't get damaged.

"And you as well," he also took the empty tubes with no arrows inside. "I would see someone putting arrows in there."

As he finished clearing the place, he opened the map again and found three out of five hostile dots being wiped out.

"Only two remained," he sighed, yet kept checking the map. He could move personally to kill them but that would consume more time.

Plus he was quite sure the main vault of this town was located in the mayor's mansion.

"Should I stay and kill him then?" he wondered but he knew after gaining the vault and the treasures from this town, there was no other reason for him to stay.

"C'mon, only one left to kill."

After ten minutes, the entire guards were killed and only one group of twelve remained. This group was situated at the far end of the town, and he knew his men would take a longer time to reach there.

Yet in another fifteen minutes his forces managed to wipe them out.

"Yeah," he screamed in joy before a series of long notifications came next.

"System alert: player has killed all the loyal guards of the mayor."

"System alert: player gained full access to the town, and now he could simply select either to take the riches off the vault and store now or wait for later."
