Axie Online

Chapter 44 - Assault on redgard

With the appearance of the Gigantic Wormtail which rose 20 meters from the ground and had a diameter of approximately 10 meters, the NPC Redgard residents panicked beyond measure. They immediately ran to find a safe place, but it was not allowed by the monster.

The Gigantic Wormtail opened its mouth filled with hundreds of tiny sharp teeth and spit out the vomit of insect-type mob monsters with a minimum level of 50 and a maximum of 90. Of course, the panicked NPCs ran to save themselves from being trapped by this mob crowd.

The Gigantic Wormtail is one of the lowest-level mob monsters of the 90s, in the form of a giant earthworm that has no eyes. Even so, the Gigantic Wormtail that was attacking Redgard city right now was a level 160's Gigantic Wormtail.

The specialty of the Gigantic Wormtail is its special skill that can make dozens of parties difficult at once, namely Larger Belly. This skill allows the Gigantic Wormtail to eat anything and store it in its stomach, then it can vomit or expel what it has eaten freely.

In that case, the Gigantic Wormtail must have eaten the hundreds, no, thousands of insect-type mob monsters stored in its stomach. This Larger Belly skill is very effective in making surprise attacks like now, but certain limitations make it unable to store anything higher than its own level.

The players who were near the scene immediately rushed off to fight and block the crowd's attack from the insect-type mob monsters that were released by the Gigantic Wormtail, but there were so many small monsters they couldn't hold them all.

Most of the players participating in this affair were those who were above level 80 and had changed Job Class to Bronze-Class or Silver-Class.

That's right, the players in this place have already done Class Up.

Class Up is an Axie Online system that can change a Player's Job Class into an advanced Job Class without affecting the level. Class Up itself generally increases many players to a Job Class that is higher and stronger than before, then increases player development.

Through Class Up, players can develop into players who are no longer too attached to the previous class. If there is a player who has a Swordsman class and takes Swordmage as his Class Up target to Silver-Class, then he can develop more into a Mage than just a Swordsman.

Remember about the skills contained in the Class Necklace? Yes, Class Necklace will provide basic class skills that will be taken later. If a Swordsman class player takes a Swordmage Class Necklace, then that player can gain the skill to get the Magic Arts skill which is the basic skill of a Mage, and increase his Sword Arts skill level at the same time.

That was the advantage of taking a top-level Job Class, which was a combined Job Class.

Usually Class Up for Bronze-Class to the Silver-Class level will be accessible to players and NPCs when they reach level 80, but certain players managed to get this opportunity when they were still in their 70s.

It is rumored that Class Up does not depend on the number of levels, but the effect of mastery of skills and the level of a player's status. Players who managed to get Class Up early themselves said that they had their own way of getting this special access, but they all confirmed that it wasn't from Items or the result of buying items.

One common answer from them is 'ability, effort, and luck'.

This really resonated in the hearts of players when all players who got access to a special Class Up were invited by one of the events on the Axie Channel. Many players were motivated by that one sentence, but almost no one else managed to gain access to this special Class Up after it happened.

There were many speculations from players that the Axies Corporation as the developer limited access to this special Class Up, but all these speculations were flatly rejected by the core development team who knew the ins and outs of Axie Online perfectly.

Back to topic.

The Gigantic Wormtail and its army of insect-type mob monsters had already managed to destroy nearly one-fifth of the city of Redgard, this made the players and NPCs slowly despair.

Even though Redgard's Defensive Army NPC Redgard city came to help, they couldn't do much because almost all the NPC soldiers in the area were on average in their 40s. With such a low level, of course, they wouldn't be able to provide much assistance to the players. Instead, they were just a heavy burden and troublesome.

"Scott, watch my back!"

"It's so easy for you to talk like that, you little bastard! I'm busy too you know!"

"I'm busier than you know!"

In the midst of the battle of players and NPCs against the attacks of insect-type mob monsters and the Gigantic Wormtail, there was a pair of youths who were overwhelmed by the crowd of insect monsters in front of them.

One of the youths had short blonde brown hair, red eyes took on the human race, and had a Swordwielder Class Job, a SilverClass Advanced Swordsman Job Class. He was holding his double-bladed sword and swinging it slashing every monster he could s***h within his striking range.

While the Job Class Swordwielder player was tackling a crowd of monsters at close range, the player he was talking to earlier began to draw and release several arrows at once hitting several nearby mob monsters.

This player has bright green hair, dark green eyes, a fairly tall and straight build, and the shape of his ears are slightly longer than that of an ordinary human. Yes, this player took the Elf race and had a Sharp Shooter Job Class, an advanced Silver-Class Archer Job Class.

The two of them were party mates, but the rest of their party had already died from the massive attack of these monsters. The Elf who has the Sharp Shooter Job Class is named Scott, while the human player with the Swordwielder Class Job has the name Drank. They were the only ones left of their party.

"Damn, they're endless! Cross Frontier!"

Drank uses one of his skills called Cross Frontier, a skill that makes an X-shaped s***h in the air as quickly as possible with one sword destroying the enemy in front of him. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much effect because the enemy quantity is too terrible.

"Tch, Multiple Blazing Arrows!!"

Scott who was on the roof of a house also didn't want to lose to Drank, so he issued one of his flagship skills that made dozens of enemies fall, Multiple Blazing Arrow.

This skill is not an official skill, but a combined skill of Multiple Arrows which can multiply the number of arrows up to ten times, and Blazing Arrow which makes arrows burn in flames resulting in greater damage.

That's right, Rudy isn't the only one who has realized that skills in the Axie Online world can be changed. Besides Rudy, Scott, Drank, and several other players also managed to get the Skill Modifier title because they managed to change the basis of skill into another skill that was not created by the system. That is what is called a Skill Modifier.

The efforts of the two players were indeed very good under normal conditions, but under abnormal conditions like this, it was not enough to restrain let alone repulse these monsters.

They slowly lost hope and fighting spirit to the point of wanting to give up, but at that moment a slashing wave of fire appeared from behind and scorched a third of the enemy they were fighting. Both of them were very surprised to see this suddenly turned back.

There was a woman of the Ogre race, about 180 centimeters tall, carrying a giant iron sword on her shoulder, and several people were seen following her from behind.

"It ...."

"A-a relief force from Crimson Castle? And again the lead is Crimson Surt!?"

The appearance of Crimson Surt, or commonly referred to as Crystina. She is the leader of the Legion of Crimson Castle, and the members behind her make Scott and Drank freeze. They didn't know what to say, but they were truly shocked to see that Crystina and company had entered the battlefield.

In the front row, Crystina waved her left hand out of her chest while shouting directions.

"Everyone scatter all over the city! Kill all the insect monsters that attack Redgard!"

"Rogers!!"

In just one command, everyone behind Crystina jumped up and ran back and forth in almost every direction. In less than half a minute, the place was empty of the players who were members of Crimson Castle who followed behind him.

Crystina also advanced towards Drank who looked battered in front of a crowd of insect monsters. She also saw that there was Scott who had fought hard against and helped reduce these mob monsters.

"Good job! You guys can rest for now! Even though you guys don't appear to be members of Crimson Castle, head over to our Legion building and rest there for a bit."

While saying that, Crystina stared at the insect-type mob monsters in front of her with terrifying eyes. It made all the monsters there stop moving as they froze in place.

Unable to withstand the onslaught of monsters earlier, Scott and Drank obeyed Crystina's orders. They retreated and fled from the place as quickly as possible due to their fear of Crystina.

Crystina herself let out a horrible smile while looking at the mob monsters that were her enemies.

She suddenly immediately jumped high up, then swung her giant sword vertically making the surrounding ground shattered and the insect-type mob monsters there died in one hit. It was one of the female players nicknamed Crimson Surt's deadly attacks, Vertical Death.

This made the ground around it not only shatter but also lift up high destroying several buildings there. This was only one-fifth of the destructive power that was said to be overwhelming, so just imagine the devastation she could cause if she unleashed her full power.

"Come here and let me crush you all, you damned bugs!!"

One more s***h, Crystina mustered all her strength and made all the mob monsters there crumble helplessly. All the monsters hit by his attack died in an instant without exception. No one would be able to escape when he was hit heavily, which was why this woman was referred to as Crimson Surt by other players.
