They never stop coming, even when I kill the big ones they just retreat and come back with more. I've been at this for hours now, and if this continues the way it has I'll die. I'm not a perfect fighter and I've taken damage and used my strongest skills, but they keep coming back stronger. I'm out of time and energy, I cant continue on like this. There is only so much I can do by myself, and I'm at my limit. They retreated a few minutes ago, and they haven't returned yet. I know its only a matter of time, I don't even have the energy to look at how low my health has gotten. My whole body feels like jelly every time I take a breath, and when I try to move it feels like fire and knots in my muscles. I'm on my hands and knees trying to catch my breath, but I can already feel the ground rumbling.

I look up from the red stained grass, I see a horde bigger than anything before it. A storm has moved over the area and is washing away the blood, I stand up once again and let the drops hit my face. I'm sure players are dying in troves if this is how its going for them, this isn't something I've ever experienced or heard of in Ancients World. The monsters are charging at me fast, but they haven't reached me yet. The only indication of their existence is the evil glow of their eyes and the lightning flashes that ignite the area. "RRRAAAWWW!! IF YOU WANT TO CHARGE TO YOUR DEATH SO RELENTLESSLY I WONT STOP YOU!! I'M TAKING AS MANY AS I CAN WITH ME!!!" I yell into the stormy night as the downpour gets worse.

I focus on the coming enemies and they are only seconds away now, I flex my wings and charge at them as well. I lose myself in this intense battle, I just cut and attack with all I have left. My wings are cutting the weaker ones to pieces, and sending the stronger ones flying. If I'm not supposed to win against such odds then fine, there are moments in games you have to lose. "I REFUSE TO LET THIS BE MY FIRST DEATH!! I WILL NOT DIE TO A BUNCH OF WEAK MOBS!!! IF I'M TO DIE IN A FIGHT IT WILL BE FIGHTING A BOSS!!" However, the gamer in me refuses to die to a bunch of enemies of little strength, being overwhelmed isn't going to be my first death in this new life. I grip my sword harder as the painful stress on my body continues to howl out.

In times of great pain and tribulation what separates the weak and strong is how far you are willing to push yourself, no matter the difficulty challenge. "*SCCCRRREEEECCCHHHH!!!*" The monster horde screams in defiance of my proclamation, lighting flashes every couple of seconds and adds to the chaos well are all in. The rain gets so hard and heavy that I can barely see anymore, but I don't stop my onslaught to counter theirs. I use the light from their eyes to find them, and the light from the lighting to see how many I have left. Every time the flashes of lightning happen I can see the horde clogging up the trees, it truly looks endless. I lose track of time and feeling all over my body, but I continue. I fight and fight, the bodies and flowing blood make it look like an apocalypse.

After several hours I kill the last one of this horde, and as soon as its head rolls I fall to the ground. My body wont move anymore, I cant feel my fingers. The only thing that doesn't feel damaged is my wings, they made this fight possible. The rain continues to fall on my exhausted body, and my blood stained clothes and wings wash once again. I don't know how much time has passed, all I know is that I've been fighting for hours. The thunderous sky roars as the heavy downpour continues. I feel the weight of my eyes, and I can feel the sleep coming. I'm brought back from the edge of sleep as I feel the ground rumble, but this time it isn't continuous. Its steady footsteps of a single being, a giant one. I move my head and look around, I see the form of a behemoth from the lightning flashes. 

Its a creature I've never seen before, a true monstrosity from what I can make out. I will my body to move and I get on my stomach, I shift my limbs under me and push myself up to my knees. I watch the creature approach and slowly make its way here, I might not be able to kill it. I'll die trying though, I can barely move my body. I use my sword to lift myself up and stand on my feet, when I do the storm gets even harder. The creature is maybe a minute out, so that gives me a minute to rest on my feet. Now is the true test I guess, all those enemies just to get me at my weakest. I killed thousands in this battle, how many thousands is impossible to know. I use these last free minutes to inspect the coming monster.

[Beast of Relentlessness Lvl.100 tier 2 (Avatar)]

10,000,000/10,000,000 HP

[Description: A demon crafted by hand from the Sin of Wrath, although this is a tough enemy, in the end its just an avatar of the beast. The real demon beast of relentlessness is locked away in the deepest parts of the underworld, this is the first time in centuries an avatar from a powerful demon has stepped foot on Gaia.]

I have already unwisely used my strongest skills, most are still on cooldown except for slash. I still have many hours till my best ones are ready, so that leaves me only one option. I have to chip away its health with my sword and wings. I don't know if I can really do this, my body is about to fail and this is going to be a long fight. Just have this one last fight and I can finally rest, but I need to see the end of this. I spread out my wings ready to fight as I hear it enter the clearing and step on the countless bodies. The crunching of bones fills the air, and my hair stands up on edge. I launch from my spot and go the max speed of 60mph while in combat. My mind goes numb as I lose myself in the lull of a final battle to determine my success in this great battle.

I dodge and weave attack after attack while flying, and continue to slice at the beast as much as I can. After so many attacks from my wings I can see that its getting low on health, but I'm not going to waste time looking. I fly high into the stormy clouds as lightning flashes behind me, I take a fast dive towards the creature and before I make contact with its head I spin my body and use my wings as a screw. I hit him right between the eyes and burst through the back of his skull, I land hard and can feel pain shoot through me. I watch as the the beast falls to the ground dead, I lose consciousness fast. I wonder how much health I have left, those are my final thoughts as I sleep. While Cera passes out into sleep, an announcement rings out.

[World-wide Announcement: The monsters onslaught will cease! The Commander of the forces has been defeated! All players will get access to the leaderboard for individual kills! The top 10 will receive custom rewards of Legacy quality or lower!]

[World-wide Announcement: The avatar of the Demon Beast of Relentlessness been defeated by The Son of Arch-Angel Michael! All players will now have access to dungeons and hunting grounds earlier that intended since the hidden boss has been defeated! Here's some advice for all you players! Get the teleportation grid up and running fast!]

[World-wide Announcement: Both the church of light and the church of the dark ones have drastically increased their rewards for any information regarding The Son of Arch-Angel Michael!]

Cera is so exhausted he is sleeping in the middle of a storm, other players are having their own reactions. One of these people being Wilted Rose, she looks at the leaderboard for individual kills. This is absolutely insane, there is no way I would believe this if I heard or seen this from anything other than the system. Looking at the top 10 the best are rather close, except for number 1. The divine class holder took out 106,000 enemies on the dot all by himself including the boss, whoever he is its safe to say that anyone else will fail to match a will as great as his. Much will be happening in the coming days, and that hint about a teleportation grid is nice. I'm sure that the top 10 are already making their rewards, or asking for them. Makes you wonder what the son will pick when he already has something so great.
