Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

That was my first skill to use, and the most important of all. I used it in the most efficient way as I clustered large groups of these monsters together, so they all fell under my skill effect.

The CD time of the gravity skill was only 2 minutes, but it would be the most used skill here.

I moved like professional dancers avoiding nearly most of the attacks, as despite all my efforts I got hurt more than once in less than these two minutes.

The gravity skill lasted only for 5 seconds, which I used to breathe from their huge pressure. When these monsters were freed by my skill effect, they tried to retaliate viciously by increasing the rate of their attacks.

That made me lose more blood as I retreated slowly as much as I could. I wasn't trying to keep my life only; I was trying to stall for more time.

Each more second counted, so I didn't rush to use my strongest skills for now, as they had long CDs. After a quarter of an hour, I was nearing my limits.

I lost half of my HP, and I was beginning to lose my upper hand here. Some monsters tried to bypass my blockage as they intended to surround me and got rid of my annoyance presence, but they failed.

Most of the credit went to my gravity skill, as it played a great role in reducing their movement speed, and so I was able to stop them. That didn't come freely, as I lost more blood with that.

In less than 10 more minutes, my HP was less than 10%. My fatigue was accumulating, as I was facing a big number of monsters with many arms and strange attack patterns. I pictured myself dying on their hands.

I could run now and escape their attacks, but that would endanger my team and ruin my whole plan. This plan was a perfect one, so I insisted on it even though the cost was my life.

I roughly estimated the distance between here and my team, there was another 15 minutes if I ran directly to them. 30 minutes hadn't passed since I sent my message to Shin, so he still needed 30 more minutes to be back.

I checked my Hp again; it was 9% then the next minute 8%. It was dropping crazily with each passing minute. That meant I wouldn't last even for 5 minutes, should I escape now? Or wait here and die?

I was evading the incoming attacks with difficulty now, as my movements weren't perfect as before under mental stress and physical exhaustion.

I began to lose my HP faster, as every couple of tens of seconds passed with a drop of 1% of my Hp. I really reached the end of my journey here, and I was prepared for the aftermath when I got resurrected.

I checked my Hp for the last time, as it was about to hit the bottom now, but the number I got was strange. Instead of the 1% that I expected, it was 10%.

This time, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, as it added a zero on the side of this percentage. I was this desperate actually to push my mind to do such a lousy cheap trick.

My body got another hit, followed by another in this second which I lost my focus at.

These two attacks were enough to bottom down my HP and sent me out of here, but my Hp didn't decrease at all, instead it increased. What the hell was going on here? Was I losing my mind now?

"Don't stop there team leader, retreat now to us and Mony will keep your HP safe," The sudden emergence of this sound abruptly from my back made my body shake; this was the sound of Goda.

I didn't hesitate to draw back immediately away from these monsters while Grendy and Goda appeared side by side to block these monsters and prevent them from advancing one step forward.

I looked back to find Heda, snad, and Mony, my little savior sweet girl standing tens of meters behind. I smile widely as I asked in the team chat:

'What brought you here?'

Mony, who kept providing me with Hp, replied:

'Shin ordered us to move and rescue you. We tried to tell you about our movement, but you never replied to our messages on the team chat. I'm very happy you are still alive.'

That cool swordsman sometimes did things on his way, but I liked him. He, again, saved my life here. I sighed, and then I looked to the front again.

My back was now safe, and my HP was already secured, so it wasn't time for me to be emotional. Goda and Grendy weren't enough to stop all these monsters alone, so I moved step by step towards them while muttering:

'Gravity skill.'

At once, my life savior skill appeared again to affect all the monsters fighting Goda and Grendy.

This time I didn't need to act as a tank, as there were already two of them in front of me. It was time for me to go back and act as the main DPS, the task that I excelled at.

'Triple thrush skill.'

Without delay I joined the fight, as I stabbed my spear in the bodies of these monsters.

My aim wasn't to kill, but to delay, so my task was to hit as many monsters as possible to cause some distraction for my other two mates to retreat one step backward.

One spear, one step at a time… that was how the battle continued from this moment on. After half an hour, we didn't manage to kill even a single monster, but we managed to delay their advance and keep our life.

Mony held the greatest credit for this, as her perfect timing in providing aid was really legendary.

'I've neared the place of our stay, but be well prepared as I have a huge herd of angry dragons chasing me.'

Shin sent this message to the whole team, but I was the first to ask:

'How long before you reach that place?'

'By my running speed? Give me 5 minutes top.'

'Good, we will meet you there.'

I then looked to the rest of my team as I ordered:

"It's time to wrap things up, let's retreat faster. We are 5 minutes away from the meeting place, so run."

I didn't move at once as I watched the movement of others first. I was prepared to intervene at the slightest sign of danger, but my worries seemed to be unnecessary.

We started to retreat fast in an organized manner, as this time we weren't running for our lives; we were running to perfectly complete an ambush for these horrible monsters.

My gamble had ended with such a marvelous result, which was something that made me very proud. This game wasn't centered on playing safe; it was different from the real life that I knew.

To excel at this game, you must be daring and be ready to take risks and make some impossible gambles, or else you would fail.
