NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Bloom wasn't sure of the mayor's possession of any deadly scrolls so he stayed at the back, overlooking the ongoing fight happening up front.

The charge was led by the clones on horses, while the pets of his kept running fast after them. The first clash seemed so reassuring to him, as no one ever could stand a hit from his clones.

Yet he knew this was going to be temporary, as the mayor would arrive soon.

And he did.

The moment the mayor appeared, his red face got much redder as he watched his forces getting crushed by the clones.

"I'll kill you bastard," he roared the moment he spotted Bloom standing far at the back. The next moment he didn't charge forward but took out a scroll of his pocket.

"Screw scrolls!" Bloom cursed before shouting, "retreat, retreat with your fastest speed."

He didn't stop in place as he turned around with his horse and started galloping the ground. The clones and pets tried to retreat fast but many got entangled with the large number of NPCs on the mayor's side.

"Rumble!"

The next moment the sky dimmed over the narrow road and started to rain. The rain was limited to an area that Bloom crossed, but it caught many of his forces in it.

"A paralyzing water," he was surprised to see his forces pause all of sudden, turning into living statues with no ability to move a muscle.

"Go and kill them," the mayor shouted and Bloom seemed to be about to lose many of his forces.

"Not this easy bastard," Bloom searched fast inside his inventory. He did get some items from the town and he was pretty sure he got some scrolls.

"The storm of lightning scroll: Common type scroll that affects a radius of three hundred meters around the player. Once used the area will be covered with dense clouds and lightning will strike down. Anyone on the player side won't get hurt, but anyone else would get ten thousand damage points per second."

"Lightning loves water," Bloom evilly muttered before laughing, "activate!"

The next moment the scroll turned into white dots in his hand before a large group of dark clouds loomed over the area around.

"Small scrolls won't save your ass pretty boy," the mayor laughed, but Bloom had another opinion.

He calmly stood before a large number of lightning rained down the ground around. Most of it went astray off the targets up front, but some landed over some NPCs and started to give them damage.

And yet this wasn't the scary part about this scroll.

Bloom found a fire scroll, wind scroll, and even water scroll as well inside his inventory, but this one was the one his eyes shone when he spotted it.

And the moment the lightning touched that paralyzing water, a sudden twist occurred that even Bloom didn't count for.

Bloom thought the lightning would travel across the water and attack everyone away from the area limited by the effect of the scroll. And that happened, besides another amazing effect.

The lightning purified the paralysis effect of the mayor's scroll and set his men and monsters free.

"Turn around," he shouted as his freed clones and pets continued to run towards him in retreat as if they weren't stopped for long seconds at all. "Go and kill them!" He pointed his sword towards the already severely damaged NPCs all around.

Even the mayor got hit as he was in the middle of his scroll effect, making him try to resist by taking out a strange umbrella that shielded most of the lightning and water away.

And yet he got some damage every now and then.

"Kill them all," Bloom shouted and this time his forces were in a much better position than their enemies.

A massacre erupted and Bloom stood silently for the next twenty seconds before the effect of the two scrolls ended with two seconds difference.

But the mayor lost at least one half of his forces in these short seconds.

"Damn you," the mayor roared, "I'll kill you in the most painful way you can't imagine."

Bloom didn't care about these threats, turned around and shouted: "Retreat!"

His forces had the upper hand thanks to the scroll, but now with the removal of the element of surprise and the end of the special surprise of the two interacting scrolls, Bloom had to retreat and try to find another opportunity to strike.

"After him," and the mayor shouted in return while sending off the remaining NPCs after Bloom and his hastily retreating forces.

Bloom kept running while keeping in mind the distance his caravan crossed.

"Stop them," he turned around all of sudden and shouted, directing some of his clones and pets to attack those hunting them relentlessly down.

"I'll kill you here foolish kid," the mayor's angry voice reverberated from near while Bloom spotted another large circle appearing on top of the entire place.

"Another scroll… damn it! How many ones does this old man have?"

He didn't stay there and retreated fast while letting his forces deal with those riders at the rear. The fight was always in his favor, yet the next moment of the scroll activation a large storm of fire appeared, raging wildly in the form of a deadly giant tornado.

"As if I would let you have it this easily," Bloom took out another scroll and used it at once. It was a water based scroll that flooded the entire passage with water.

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

The two scrolls this time collided together and antagonized each other. Bloom waited until the effect of the two scrolls vanished and shouted:

"Retreat!"

He lost almost half of his clones and many pets in these few seconds, but his opponent's losses were much greater than him. "You have now less than fifty riders," Bloom counted while running fast, "I don't think you'll act this rash ever again."

As Bloom expected, the mayor kept the forces so close to himself while he started to use many scrolls like he was throwing off useless rocks.
