Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro started to attack them with his sword. He didn't use any skill at all as his simple attack could take nearly one-eighth of their HP.

He wasn't suppressing his powers anymore, so his sword was moving so rapidly that it created shadows from its extreme speed. Although these monsters kept falling one after another that horn never stopped sounding even for a second.

At the same time, these monsters never tried to defend themselves even for a second. They didn't even try to dodge his attacks. Although he was attacking very seriously, that situation seemed weird.

After he killed the last monster, he stood in his place and looked around in surprise. All the area around him which was empty a minute ago was now filled by many monsters teams.

Ibro wasn't really surprised by their appearance, as he was informed by Dronil about their approach. What caused his surprise was what these monsters did.

Like the previous squad, a horn appeared in each monster hand and then started to blow in them creating a high pitched very loud inharmonious sound that echoed at this cave.

Ibro really felt annoyed by these horns. He didn't need the alert reminder of Dronil that kept ringing in his head. He knew what these monsters were trying to do. He didn't stop his sword for even a second.

Each monster needed only less than 2 seconds to fall. But there were a really huge number of monsters that kept showing up to close any gap he created.

He kept his killing speed without trying to rashly use any of his skills. He noticed the emergence of different kinds of sounds that appeared from different areas around him.

He knew that horns were like the alarm sound. This way was really effective. Although he knew that more monsters were coming near him and gathered around him in circles, he wasn't afraid or worried.

He wanted to know what these monsters intended to do. He kept turning around himself more and more rapidly trying to keep these monsters in check. Suddenly he heard Dronil voice saying in alarming tone:

'Watch out. There are ten different huge armies that are heading towards here.'

'They want to kill me. I like that; I also have the same desire to them.'

'You got it wrong. They aren't heading towards your location. They are targeting the cave entrance.'

'What?'

'That's the direction of their armies. I also notice these monsters around you aren't trying to kill you, they are trying to shift you away step by step from the cave entrance.'

Ibro felt surprised at first then he smiled and said to Dronil:

'Can you use your teleportation ability here?'

'In a certain range yes. I feel these grounds suppress my powers.'

'No problem then. I want you to tell me when we reach near your limit.'

'Will you let them enter the ground area?'

'Nope, I will kill them all.'

'There numbers are really great. I believe they have gathered over 10k monsters and that figure is rising fast.'

'Don't worry about me. Just keep an eye for me on them. When they near the entrance by 10 meters, you just tell me. If I move near your limit, warn me.'

Ibro then ignored Dronil's repeated screams in his head. He started to play with his full power trying to adapt to his new power. He knew if he could use the MANA side of his class, he would kill these monsters easily.

But he enjoyed the sword killing all his enemies. He didn't lose himself in his attacks but he needed to show this false appearance to his enemies.

This strategy and that arrangement told him one solid fact: these monsters had a high intelligence that was able to rival even his. He mustn't underestimate them.

He needed to try and deceive them although he doubted that would really work. What made him worry was that all that attacked him were all like suicide squads.

They were trying to drive him away from that cave at any price. Those who faced him were all close range monsters. He didn't believe these monsters to have only these melee class types.

Then would they try to bomb him from afar? Would they try to kill him first then go to the cave or they really wanted just to trap him? He peeped on his stats to feel relieved.

Although he used his MANA stat, his Magical Defense was still high as ever. His body was also having a lot of superficial wounds. His helmet played a major role in defending him.

His three growth type equipment had reached level 3 already and was getting nearer to level 4 second after second.

Although he didn't have enough physical defenses, he didn't lose much HP as these monster attacks only took one figure to two figures maximum of his HP with each strike. Ibro's HP was really huge so he didn't feel any pressure at all.

This continued for nearly ten minutes. Through which Ibro never used one skill of his at all. More than once, he would move one step out of Dronil teleporting ability range.

He was immediately alarmed by Dronil so he returned again inward and killed his way to a safer region. After the third time, Dronil suddenly said:

'I noticed something strange. Every time you moved out of my ability range, these monsters waiting armies started to move towards the cave. Every time you come back near the cave they stop in their tracks immediately.'

Ibro was surprised. Were they waiting for him to move outside the area of Dronil's ability? But that meant they already knew the covering range of Dronil. How on earth they knew that?

Was this the only secret they knew about him? Or he was like an open book to them? He felt threatened this time. He knew how powerful knowledge could be.

If he knew all the details and secrets about his enemy then he would formulate a perfect trap that counter his abilities and limit his powers. Suddenly he recalled the limiting nature of this place.

He was already in his enemies' trap. Were they trying to make him depend entirely on Dronil's ability to teleport him? Were they prepared also for this ability? He then thought about their patients.

If he was in their shoes, he wouldn't wait. If they already had a perfect counter to his abilities, then they would start marching to the cave.

This situation only held two possibilities, either they didn't really have any counter to Dronil's teleport ability, or they already had this counter but it needed time to be activated.

If the second guess was true, then he was walking straight to his enemies' trap.

'Dronil, teleport me now to the cave entrance.'

'Don…'

'There is no time to explain. Do it now.'
