"Wha— level 100?!" The players were shocked. They retreated with mechanical movements, trying not to attract the God Zephyros' ire.
Then, God Zephyros stepped out of the platform. His footsteps made the ground quake.
"I am God Zephyros' avatar." He placed a large shield and a longsword before him and said, "To enter the second realm, you have to pass me!"
King Jonathan felt a weight appearing around his hands out of nowhere. Once he dropped his gaze, he saw that he was holding his sword and shield.
They were able to use their weapons again.
Isaac also felt a weight appearing on his back. When he moved his head halfway, he saw the barrel of his sniper rifle.
He pulled out his weapon and held it in his arms. Every player did the same. They took their weapons and prepared for combat.
"Everyone!" King Jonathan's mighty shout was heard by everyone. He was the one who took the first step and continued until he was running at full speed.
Everyone wondered what the hell was he doing.
"I will block its strike. Use that timespan to send your attacks!" King Jonathan took the leading role. The players thought that it sounded good. But, there were few who thought about using this to their advantage.
They could kill King Jonathan with their long-ranged attack, and no one could tell it was them.
A few grins were seen in the crowd, and they began aiming with either their guns or arrows.
"Haah!" The Avatar of God Zephyros changed his grip and took a step forth, which sent a sand cloud forth.
He moved the sword behind him and grabbed the hilt tighter until his blood vessels protruded and muscles bulged.
Then, he sent a blindingly fast horizontal slash. The sword was large enough to reach the players, making them pale in fright.
However, then King Jonathan appeared on the sword's path and placed his shield in front of him.
BAM!
The sword struck the shield, and at first glance, it looked like King Jonathan managed to block it. But then, the shield began cracking. The cracks looked like spiderwebs, and then it exploded, sending broken shield pieces flying around!
King Jonathan crashed into the upper ceiling. Then, his body descended with a bloodied face and soon hit the floor.
His HP was reduced from 820 all the way to 190.
Now, the Players understood the danger the Avatar possessed!
King Jonathan was perhaps the strongest player present, and he was defeated by a single strike!
Isaac bent down and then used his limbs like spring to jump in the air.
He moved the gun forth and took aim before pulling the trigger.
BANG!
After firing his gun, a dozen Archers pulled their bowstrings before releasing and sending a flurry of arrows straight toward the large man.
The Avatar of God Zephyros did another horizontal slash and destroyed the arrows with ease. Then, he noticed that a bullet had managed to pass his guard.
When the bullet was only several meters away from contact, God Zephyros' Avatar placed his shield in front of him and made the bullet slingshot away.
"Hmph!" An unmistakable snort from him irritated the players, who were respected in their own circles. None of them were willing to be belittled by mere NPC.
Then, the Avatar took a giant stride forward and moved across the room with his sword slashing forth. He left behind a dozen corpses that soon turned into light blue pixels.
Some distance away from him, Queen Diana took out a pink-colored arrow and placed it on his bow. Then, she pulled the string and said in her sweet tone, "Beautiful Love!"
The Avatar raised his head and quickly whipped around with a shield placed in front of him. The pink arrow snapped in half after hitting the shield.
He looked at the beautiful woman, 'She is dangerous!'
The Avatar could tell the danger Queen Diana possessed and decided to take care of her!
He lunged forward with his sword placed over his head. Then, the Avatar swung the blade down and could see the green robes fluttering as she dodged with room to spare.
He frowned and was about to go after her. Then, he saw colors flashing and noticed over dozen flaming balls coming straight toward him!
The Avatar of God Zephyros quickly blocked them all with his shield. However, he was forced to take a step back. The Spellcasters thought with glee that their attacks had worked. Then, their gleeful looks turned into horror.
The Avatar pointed his sword toward the ceiling and shouted, "Spring Fall!"
Crack!
The ceiling cracked before collapsing, The debris of the roof had a hue of orange, and its weight increased by a hundredfold!
Spellcasters tried to jump away but were buried within the debris and died without being able to shout for mercy.
"Rah!"
Then, out of nowhere, King Jonathan appeared behind the Avatar and stabbed his sword forth. Once the sword's steel tip grazed the Avatar's shinbone, his facade turned grim.
The sword couldn't penetrate the Avatar's armor, and he was now entirely under his mercy.
"Oh, you returned just to die?" The Avatar's lip curve upward. Then, he stabbed his enormous sword down at King Jonathan, who had already closed his eyes.
Bam!
"Ah!"
Then, a bullet made of ice landed on the Avatar's hand, which caused the sword to slip from his hold!
The sword landed next to King Jonathan, only an inch away from beheading him. He shakily opened his eyes and was amazed to see the sword only an inch away from his face.
He could see his bloodied reflection, causing him to wipe the blood away with his sleeve.
The Avatar whipped his head toward the direction where the bullet came. He saw the white-haired youth holding a gun with a cold air oozing from the barrel.
Isaac put his finger on the trigger and fired another bullet.
This time, the Avatar smacked the bullet away and stood up in a hurry. He pulled his sword from the ground and lunged toward Isaac. He could sense the danger the seemingly weak white-haired boy possessed. He could not allow him to move freely!
