Gods' Impact Online

'I don't know what other secret attacks and skills this monster is hiding, but I will slay it down before it gets any chance to use any more attacks!'

Zach leaned forward a little, but to spectators, it looked like Zach was falling forward. 

He gripped his sword tight and slowly walked a step forward. Then, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Literally.

Everyone was left confused and baffled.

'Where did he go?! He was right in front of my eyes!' Victoria exclaimed inwardly. She glanced around to check whether Zach had jumped off somewhere, but she couldn't spot him anywhere.

She looked at Aria, hoping she would know, but Aria was as puzzled as everyone else.

'What… just happened…' Aria wondered. Then, she remembered something similar happening before too.

'When I fought him for the first time, he disappeared in front of my sight, just like his. And came from….!' Aria immediately looked up, and as she expected, Zach was hovering in the air with the sword aura forming the shape of a dragon's tail.

Zach swung the sword in the air as he dived down, and it looked as though a dragon was descending at high speed.

With a swift movement in the air of his body and the sword, Zach landed on top of the soul eater and plunged the sword into the soul eater's body. 

However, the sword suddenly vanished from Zach's hand.

"...!" Zach was bewildered, but he had no time to panic. He didn't know what happened, but without wasting his time thinking about it, Zach immediately dropped to his knees and placed his hand on the soul eater's body to use his DT skill.

But much to his surprise, his DT skill had no effect on the soul eater.

The soul eater's centipede-like legs and hairs on it grabbed Zach and caught him in the trap.

Zach summoned a lightning sword and cleaved all the legs grabbing him. He jumped down and landed between Aria and Victoria. He caught his breath and retracted the sword to save his MP.

"What happened?!" Aria asked with an anxious look on her face. "I saw you stabbing it… so why didn't…'

Aria stopped when she noticed the furious expression on Zach's face.

"This monster… it sucked my magic…." 

Zach looked at his MP, and he was left speechless.

MP- [11,000/ ∞]

'I had 26,000 MP, and I used 5000 MP on the sword. Then, I used DT. Even though it failed, I should have at least 13000 MP, but I am missing 2000 more MP.'

Zach frowned his face and muttered, "So this monster eats MP too. It sucked 10,000 MP when I tried to use DT on it, and it was only a split-second contact!'

'I can't use magic attacks on it now, or it will simply eat it. My advantage of cultivating MP is useless in this situation…'

Tables had turned. Now, the soul eater had a high chance of winning.

Aria realized what Zach was going through, but she couldn't do anything. Comforting him at a time like this would just make the situation worse.

Now that the soul eater had eaten Zach's MP, its body was glowing more than before.

"What are we going to do now?" Victoria asked with a serious look on her face. 

She had to take the lead and do her job, which was to take care of her guild members. She couldn't lose her cool. Otherwise, all the guild members would be doomed.

"How many melee-based members do you have?" Zach asked Victoria.

"Around 800. But 700 of them are around level 20," Victoria answered.

"What about the rest 100? What level are they?" Zach asked impatiently. "Can they fight the boss?"

"60 are level 30, 30 are level 40, and the rest 10 are level 50. I brought them here as a backup in case of emergencies." Victoria responded in a calm voice. However, she was freaking out from the inside.

"Level 30 and 40 players are useless. But maybe level 50…." Zach muttered. He pondered for a while and turned to Victoria before asking, "Do you think they can stand a chance against a monster 100 levels above them?"

Victoria looked into Zach's eyes and replied, "I am level 52, and even I don't think that I can fight this monster."

"I didn't know you were level 52…" Zach muttered under his breath.

"My level is high, but my physique is low," Victoria stated. "For some reason, my physique points regain is slower than the rest of the players.

"..." Zach's eyes widened after hearing that.

"I am the cause of that," he uttered in a disdainful tone. "After we had sex, your life was in danger. So my mother sent a medic to your house, and she suppressed my essence in your body. But to do that, she had to suppress your physique too."

"Oh…" Victoria was taken aback by that. She cursed and hated gods when she first realized her physique regain was slow. But now, she learned that it was not because of gods but because of the man she loved.

She didn't know how she should feel about it.

"We will talk about this later," she said with a straight face. "But now, let's focus on this monster."

Suddenly, the monster fired a light beam at Zach and the others. 

Zach jumped in front of Aria and Victoria, and pressed his hands against the light beam to absorb it using the third ability of his gloves.

Upon realizing its attack wasn't working, the soul eater moved his head and directed the light beam to the other players who were defenseless.

"...!"

"No!" Victoria yelled.

The light beam obliterated over 500 guild members with a single attack.

Zach's gloves had turned purple, and they had started pulsating. Seemingly, they had absorbed the maximum amount of magic.

'I can't use magic against this boss. It's useless! But I need to release the magic inside my gloves, or they will malfunction.'

Zach gritted his teeth and frowned his face at the soul eater as he uttered, "You are pissing me off."
