The Ancients World Chapter 252

{I want to let everyone know that I have a p-a-t-r-e-o-n with two new exclusive stories on it. One is The Aeternus Universe, and the other is a new story with a basketball system. I hope you guys will give it a chance. The link is https://www.p-a-t-r-e-o-n.com/easyread. Remove the dashes. Webnovel censors the word.}
I continue moving away from the rest of the players and these monsters keep chasing me. They really are relentless. They are getting stronger and stronger as time passes. The more I kill, the stronger the reinforcements. I can only imagine how bad the slaughter on the player's side would be if all the monsters were this strong. I'm glad Sally isn't here right now. It goes to show how wise my decision was. There is no way she can compete with monsters this strong at her current power. I block a powerful clawed swipe, and I'm sent flying from the impact.
I straighten up and get my bearings, only to have 3 powerful monsters right in front of me launching attacks. They are stronger than I thoughted they'd be, and the ones showing up now continue to get stronger. I duck last second to dodge an attack at my head, only to be hit in the ribs and sent flying into the storm and under the heavy rainfall. I flip and turn, regain some balance as I soar hard. Crashing through the suspended rain. Monsters close on my tail and still lunging at me with attacks. They are breaking through my defenses and speed.
I'm slowly losing health, and that's when I decide to use some of my more powerful skills. I activate Heaven's Light and Protected by Heaven. The temporary invincibility and a huge boost in damage output tip the battle in my favor. The monsters that were giving me problems are now getting annihilated. I leap away from the coming swarm, and they tear the suspended rain apart, and it forms a sort of frozen mini-wave of water. I'd stop to admire it if I wasn't in the middle of a hard battle. My health is just too high to be worried about dying.
However, it did go down by a couple million from their attacks. It goes to show if I did have my Mana Aura, I'd have already been dead. The monster swarm is already on top of me, and they are moving and attacking faster than the last group I just killed. They are getting hits in, but I'm not taking any damage thanks to Protected by Heaven. I use my Slash skill and my Double Strike Skill on all the monsters. The cooldown times are nonexistent now that the skills are at such high levels. I don't know how long I will be fighting at this speed and power, but I need to be ready for it to get harder and harder until it's done.

While Cera is fighting at a speed that slows down his perception of time, his sister is doing the same thing. She is experiencing the same increase in difficulty against the monsters as her brother. The wall is now surrounded by floating blood, suspended and waiting for time to speed up. The suspended bodies of monsters are quite the sight too. Some of them are still in their fighting motion, stiff in the middle of attack cause they're dead. Their bodies slow down once they die, causing them to slow to a suspended halt.
They are speeding up, and I'm finding it more and more difficult to stay faster than them. I still haven't used any of my most powerful skills yet. I'm saving them for when it gets really hard. I perform a split and dodge a spear by doing so. The monsters now have weapons, and it's adding a complex nature to the fights. I use my left hand to lift my body, and I twirl out of the split, performing and one-handed handstand and kicking the monster's head right off its shoulders. I never expected the fight to be this hard.
A group of three give me no break and screech as they attack. Using swords and spears to try and land an attack. I keep accelerating my speed. I haven't reached my absolute limit yet. I dodge the attacks, and I push the hand of the sword wielder towards one of the monsters and use his own attack against his fellow monster. They are now moving slower to me, and this group can't keep up with me. I noticed that the monsters after me are in lower volume than the ones after that man who was moving at a similar speed.
What I can't get out of my head is his sword. I swear I feel like I've seen it before. A long time ago, and I don't know when. All of a sudden, my palms throb at a memory, and it clicks... That's the sword that my brother let me try and pick up, only for it to crush my fingers as it pinned my hands to the ground. That means that man is... Cera! My brother was so damn close that I didn't even recognize him. I kill the monsters that are surrounding me, and I dash at a very high speed in the direction I saw him leave with the monsters after him.

I know for a fact it's Cera, he was already extremely powerful when we split up, and it makes sense that he's this powerful. His speed is almost at the same level as mine. I follow the suspended dead bodies like bread crumbs, and the closer I get, the louder the battle gets. However, I'm sent flying by a huge wave of energy, and I take some decent damage. I have a Legacy grade Mana Aura, so my health is decent, but that wave of energy took about 15% of my total health pool. I regain my balance, and my attempt to reach Cera is stopped by my pursuers now that they've caught up.
While this is happening to the Adamo siblings, in other places around Gaia, a battle is occurring on all fronts. Mainly with Violet, Chris, and Marcus Adamo. They are in a capital city by the name of Genoy, in the kingdom of Genoy. Since they are so high level and have powerful classes, the battle is absolutely crazy. The storm is almost as big as the one at The City of James. Marcus is using his Legendary Fire Mage class to melt any monsters that get too close, making it look too easy. While his mother and father use perfect coordination to fight together. Violet is enjoying herself.
My husband and I synchronize our attacks and kill monster after monster. "You're doing wonderfully, Chris!!" I'd admit that I'm actually having fun. My husband and youngest child have been amazing to be with, and we've had many adventurers in dungeons and even more on quests. It makes the echo in my heart for my other two children reverberate harder. We stand back to back as we finish the immediate threat around us. I look toward Marcus to see how he's holding up, and he's doing wonderfully.
Out of the three of us, he's grown the strongest. Being the holder of the Legendary Fire Mage class, The Phoenix makes him extremely powerful. It's funny watching a little kid like him do more work than the majority of the players and us combined. He's killed the most with his attacks too far. "It's not over yet, Violet! We aren't going to be done for a while!" Chrises voice brings me back into focus, and a new batch of monsters is attacking. The storm is already over the city, and it's partially ruined. I feel bad for the capital city Genoy. So many innocent people have lost their homes.
All of it is due to the presence of the players. I wouldn't be surprised if the players get banned from the city after this. Chris and I begin to use our skills and attacks to kill the coming horde together. Our classes have incredible synchronicity. While I'm busy killing monsters, I glance around the ruined buildings and roads. Players are fighting hard, and NPC's lay on the ground dead. Forever. I couldn't imagine that. Having to be put in the middle of immortal fighters and a powerful monster horde sent by the Gods.
To them, it was sent by the Gods. To us players, it's the systems doing. I've come to learn a great deal about Gaia and its inhabitance. I've still yet to break the habit of calling them NPC's, but they are far from it. "Marcus! Kill the coming group! Your mother and I need a break!" Chris orders Marcus to kill the incoming monsters, and he goes with a powerful spell called Firestorm. While it's not close to one of his strongest, if he did use one of his strongest. The entire area would be reduced to a pit of lava and fire. Burning the land and city into nothing. I wonder how my other children are doing.

The Burning Rose
Rascal, troublemaker, an annoying brat—those are the nicknames commonly attributed to Mattiaz Rider: an uncontrollable sixteen-year-old brat who grew up in an orphanage, annoying the skin off his caretakers and supervisors. Mattiaz is also a fearless dreamer with a lofty goal. Before he could even spell out his own name, he idolized the people on his TV screen known as 'spiriters'.

He is immediately assigned to the New Baymort Spirit Academy in Holy Bay, eager to pursue his newfound dream of winning the famed Spirit Tournament and becoming one of the strongest spiriters ever known.

Soten (Book I in The Saga of Mira the Godless)
Anyone on the Isle will say Lady Mira caused the Twenty Years' War. While they're at it, they'll call her a witch, a whore, or a heathen, maybe all three in the same breath. Soten is Mira's version of the story. Captive in a Northern village, Mira expects brutality from the rough climate and harsh Northerners. Instead, she discovers a land where people speak their thoughts out loud, where women are free to be with any they desire, and those who divine messages from the gods are listened to, not burnt at the stake. Mira's idyllic new life is threatened when she hears of her brother's growing army to the south; she doesn't need rescuing; she's far too attached to the life she's building (and the lighthearted raider who is quickly becoming a central part of it). Then she meets Arik, the enigmatic Norsern king, a man who has drastic plans for next season's raids, plans that involve the sister of a great southern commander. To Mira, this is a story about love. To the rest of the world, it is a story about war. Book II: KAKEN coming soon!

Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
