Gods' Impact Online

Aurora was walking cautiously forward with a sword in her hands. While Zach was casually walking behind Aurora while yawning.

"Can't you be a little more serious about this?" Aurora said in a loud voice. "We are up against a level 80 boss with 3000000 HP."

"I am serious, though," Zach uttered.

"Did you forget what happened the last time we fought the boss on the 50th floor of the beginner's realm?" Aurora remarked.

"Relax. That was ages ago. We have leveled up quite a few times after that. And why are you scared?" Zach asked. "I don't understand. We have been in many near-death battles, but never have you acted like this."

Aurora pointed her sword at the skeletal spider and said, "Look at that thing. I am going to have nightmares tonight!"

"Oh? Maybe I will sing you a lullaby then," Zach scoffed.

Aurora's face flushed after hearing that as she kept walking forward without paying attention to her surroundings.

Suddenly, Zach grabbed her from behind and jumped back.

The skeletal spider shot its venom web at Zach and Aurora, which melted the ground on impact.

"Looks like this monster also wants to hear my lullaby," Zach sneered as he conjured a lightning sword in his hand.

Aurora was surprised to see that, but for some reason, Ameria didn't show any reaction.

Zach glanced at Aurora and asked with  a concerned look on his face, "Are you okay?"

Aurora didn't reply and stared at Zach with an excited look on her face.

"...what?"

"If I defeat this monster, will you… will you sing me a lullaby?" Aurora asked with a flushed face while fidgeting.

'What the hell is wrong with this girl?!' Zach face-palmed himself and muttered, "You are truly an idiot."

"Will you?" Aurora asked again, this time in a loud voice.

"Okay, okay. Now let's focus on that monster." Zach looked at Ameria, who was staring at Zach and Aurora with her squinted eyes.

"Hey! If either of us gets hit, heal us as soon as possible!" Zach shouted.

"Okay," Ameria nodded meekly. She was back to her usual self.

The skeletal monster kept shooting its venom at Zach and Aurora.

They looked at each other and nodded before running in the opposite direction. They thought the monster would not shoot at either of them.

However, the spider had another head on the back. It crawled around in a circle at the same spot and shot its venom.

It was as though they had enraged the boss.

Aurora tried to dash in to attack one of the spider's legs, but Zach stopped her and said, "Don't! Wait for my signal."

Zach dashed at the monster, or so he acted like he was going to, but he stopped and kicked a soccer ball-sized rock at the monster.

However, the rock was penetrated and shattered by the spider's other leg.

'I knew it! It is purposely showing us an opening to make it look like its guard is down, so we would attack, and then it would stab up with its other legs.'

"Say, Aurora!" Zach called Aurora in a loud voice. "How many times can you swing your sword in one second?" Zach asked while dodging the spider's attack.

"I could do eight before, but I have been training hard, so now I can manage ten strikes in one second!" Aurora replied in a loud voice.

'Aurora's sword art skill-  Lyda strike deals 100000 DMG in one strike, and her skill lasts only for one second. So that's 1000000 DMG. And I can deal 2000000 HP DMG.'

'But… I have to go near the spider to attack it, while Aurora can attack from a distance. Maybe I can…'

"Aurora, use your sword art skill when I ask you to, okay?!"

Zach held the lightning sword with both of his hands and raised it in the air. 

Zach's magic weapon skill was dependent on his imagination. He could create any weapon as long as he had used them before.

Zach took a deep breath and released all his Mana in the lightning sword. 

'Get rekt, bitch!' The lightning sword's size increased, and it became 5 meters long.

Zach struck the sword down and slashed the monster.

"Now!"

Aurora activated her sword art skill and swung her sword ten times in one second.

[Congratulations! Floor 20 has been cleared!]

[Proceed through the blue portal to enter the 21st floor!]

[Proceed through the yellow portal to retreat!]

"Yes! We did it!" Aurora jumped in joy and dashed at Zach to hug him, but Zach seemed angry for some reason, so Aurora stopped and didn't try her luck.

'What happened to him? Why is he angry all of a sudden?" Aurora wondered.

Zach raised his brows at Ameria and uttered inwardly: 'Something is wrong. My attack only dealt 1950000 DMG to the monster. And Aurora only struck ten times, so she couldn't have dealt more than 1000000 DMG.'

'However, the monster's HP was 3000000. The monster still should have 50000 HP left, but it died.'

Zach frowned his face at Ameria and thought, 'She did something, didn't she?'

Of course, it wasn't weird even if Ameria did something. She was a ranger whose main expertise was ranged attacks. However, there was less than 1 second time between Zach's and Aurora's attack. Still, Ameria managed to attack at the right time.

'Moreover, how did she know that I was 50000 DMG low on my attack?'

Zach had doubts on Ameria before, but now his doubts had turned into suspicion.

'What are you hiding under your innocent face, Ameria?'

Was Ameria truly hiding something? Was her innocent personality a sham? Was her meek behavior acting? Why did she join Zach's party, and what are her intentions? Is she an ally or an enemy?

Zach had too many questions, but he didn't want Ameria to notice he was suspicious of her. If she knew, then she wouldn't let her guard down.
