Axie Online

Chapter 61 - Collapse of Livetuna Town

After being satisfied all day walking around and shopping with Haris, Rudy immediately returned to his apartment with some luggage. Since he is from outside, of course, he buys his monthly necessities such as soap, toothbrush, shampoo, and others.

Arriving at the apartment, Rudy immediately put all his belongings where they should be, then lay down and buried himself in the bed. He felt tired from walking everywhere around the big mall building. For him who wasn't very good at sports, his legs were quite sore.

"Axie Forum...."

Muttering that, Rudy took out his new phone and opened the Axie Forum to check if Axie Online had finished updating or not. He's not addicted to playing Axie Online, it's just that the game is really fun and profitable for him.

How can a student manage to earn around 70 million just by playing games? Maybe for most people, it is very difficult or even impossible, but not for Rudy who accidentally got the Alchemy skill which is one of the rare skills in Axie Online without taking the main Alchemist class.

"Good!"

As soon as he saw the announcement that the Axie Online update had been completed at the Axie Forum, Rudy immediately put down his cell phone and put on Solid Gear. Without wasting any more time, Rudy then re-entered the world of Axie Online.

***

Rudy who has turned into a virtual character is currently in the center of Livetuna, the fledgling city in Axie Online. He looked around him, but a lot had changed since the last time he was here.

"The battle marks? Did the update really update this?"

Rudy was a little confused when he saw Livetuna City, which seemed to have the scars of a battle. Several buildings and public properties such as seats, NPC's stalls, fences, and so on were damaged which could be said to be quite severe.

He began to walk down the main street of town, taking in the surroundings. Although there were no battle beam corpses, it could be clearly seen that this place had experienced quite a fierce battle. It was evident from several buildings that were destroyed in certain parts and there were burn marks.

Seeing this, Rudy began to think about what possibilities he could take to conclude a hypothesis regarding the current state of Livetuna City. He stopped halfway and frowned.

Half a minute passed, Rudy got two possibilities that could be the cause of this unpleasant situation.

One, the Axie Online update carried out by Axies Corporation deliberately destroyed Livetuna City. But what is it done for? What is the chronology and cause for the Axies Corporation to do something like this? That question is still a big question mark in Rudy's mind.

"The second is the failure of the players."

The biggest possibility is the second, namely the failure of Axie Online players. Before Rudy logged out, the players were still dealing a little with the battle situation in Viredeta village which was the center of the headquarters of the mob monster troops.

It's possible that the war was just a diversion for the players to go to Viredeta village to have the great power concentrated there, while the real troops took a detour route to Livetuna City. Judging from the route of the players who only walked straight to the village, this possibility was very large.

Even though this assumption is true, will the mob monster troop be able to attack Livetuna City which has NPC defense troops in Livetuna City? If you look at the strength of the mob monster troops in the previous war, this assumption is very small, but if there is an army much stronger than that army, it's no wonder Livetuna City will be destroyed to this extent.

Thinking that Rudy furrowed his brows realizing why he wasn't aware of such a simple thing? Hadn't he already fought a horde of Goblins and Hobgoblins in the Wolf Plains not far from Livetuna City? Why didn't he consider that fact before deciding to follow the Raid to Viredeta village?

"I really am stupid."

Rudy subconsciously cursed himself realizing his stupidity regarding such small information. Even though he had faced a small group of Goblins and Hobgoblins head-on, he had even underestimated it.

While trying to suppress his emotions and guilt, Rudy took in and exhaled a series of breaths to calm himself. If he didn't think straight he wouldn't be able to deal with the surprise attacks he might face at any moment in this city.

"Hmm? Order?"

In the midst of his activities, Rudy found a letter icon flickering in his right view. He was a little confused, who sent him a message at a time like this? Then From that day, Rudy opened the message using [Command Voice: Mail].

- - - -

Sender: System

Message: Congratulations, you meet the Special-Class criteria! Your Special-Class can be obtained at Class Registration.

Item: Special-Class Recommendation Letter

- - - -

As soon as he finished reading the message that had just arrived, Rudy widened his eyes as wide as he could not believe what he had just read. Special-Class? How could he possibly meet the criteria for a Special-Class Job Class that he wasn't even aware of?

This confused him a little. But he didn't have time to do that right now.

"It turns out that my second guess was right, huh?"

Rudy unknowingly pulled the Blackstar Sword from his back and put on a stance ready to fight when he realized he was surrounded by several Goblin Warriors, a type of Goblin that uses melee weapons such as swords, axes, or clubs and has fighting abilities that can make players troublesome.

He glanced at the damaged buildings in anticipation of a Goblin Archer who could attack him in battle. Sure enough, Rudy saw that there were at least five Goblin Archers already lodged in several nearby buildings.

His lips clicked his tongue after knowing his position was so disadvantaged. He took a deep breath, then concentrated on his feet and speed hoping that Goblin Archer would find it hard to shoot an arrow at him.

Currently, Rudy cannot use Black Form considering that he has been fighting using this skill for approximately four or five hours which means the cooldown will take as much as eight or ten hours. Black Form is still sealed and cannot be used.

"At times like this, the Black Form can't even be used."

Rudy could only groan in his heart while focusing his concentration on the number of opponents he was currently facing. Even if it's just a Goblin, he can't underestimate a weak opponent.

When Rudy was distressed at his disadvantage, he could see a purple flash coming from behind him. He wanted to be surprised, but unfortunately, before being surprised by this, Rudy first widened his eyes to see what had happened to the Goblin Warriors who were his opponents.

A quarter of them had already lost their lives thanks to a lightning s***h from a player who appeared to be Assassin class. Behind the group of Goblin Warriors was seen the figure of the player who saved Rudy just now.

The figure of an Assassin in minimal skin armor accompanied by a red scarf covering his mouth and bridge of his nose, long blonde hair tied in a waist-length ponytail, and dark red eyes like rubies. He was holding a pair of twin blades of shiny silver 25 centimeters long.

Rudy recognized the figure. She is a player who gives directions to Ten's shop when Rudy just enters the world of Axie Online.
