Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye-Chapter 388: I Always Appear at the Crucial Moment

The confrontation between Luca and Nova ended with both of them exchanging a smile.

Drumph, who had been growing increasingly anxious, quickly stepped forward.

"There's nothing more for us to do here. The situation in Imperial Capital is critical. We must leave as soon as possible!" he said urgently.

Neither Luca nor Nova voiced any objections.

And so, everyone set off for the Imperial Capital, each using their preferred mode of transport to reach the destination at the fastest speed.

At the same time, the Imperial Capital was once again under attack by a monster horde. Countless monsters blocked the sky, and those in the heart of the Imperial Capital's central area were on edge.

Although the central district of the Imperial Capital had a solid barrier and that barrier was further strengthened by defensive magic arrays, after the grueling battles of the past, no one had enough confidence to believe they could hold the heart of the Imperial Capital.

In the Northern Territory, where Morning Star was in charge of the defenses, Fuzzsir and Melania looked grimly at the approaching horde of monsters.

"When will they arrive? Are they really not going to come and help us?" Melania, who had always remained calm, whispered to Fuzzsir.

The situation in the Imperial Capital had become so dire that even Melania couldn't maintain her usual composure.

Fuzzsir didn't respond immediately. He tightened his grip on his skeleton staff and muttered to himself, "No matter what, we must defend with all our strength. We absolutely cannot let the monsters breach the barrier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing alarm sounded from the very center of the Imperial Capital's central building.

This meant that the barrier was about to be attacked by the monsters.

"We can't afford to think about anything else right now. We should focus solely on the battle!" Fuzzsir reminded Melania.

Melania nodded and then retreated into the shadows.

As a shadow assassin, she wasn't suited for direct combat on the front lines. Her greatest effectiveness came from lurking in the shadows, waiting for a powerful monster to reveal a flaw.

Not long after Melania blended into the shadows, the vanguard of the monster horde reached the barrier.

The terrifying, vicious monsters raised their sharp claws and attacked the barrier.

Fuzzsir didn't immediately counterattack.

He knew that the barrier still had the power to withstand the monsters' assault.

He needed to conserve his strength. The moment the barrier collapsed, he would have to strike with all his might.

Most of the defenders adopted strategies identical to Fuzzsir's.

On the left side of the Northern Territory Morning Star defense zone was the Eastern Territory Morning Star's defensive area, while the right side was controlled by the Imperial Capital Guard.

Although there had been some conflicts between the three factions in the past, when faced with such a dire crisis, they were able to put aside their differences and cooperate.

Just half an hour earlier, Zovland had specifically sent someone to coordinate defense tactics with Fuzzsir.

Both sides had stationed powerful forces at the connection points of their respective defensive zones.

As the monsters continued to attack, the strength of the barrier quickly waned.

Everyone was ready for battle.

Fuzzsir had already aimed his skeleton staff at the direction of the monsters.

As soon as the barrier collapsed, he would immediately use the skeleton staff to summon a large number of vengeful spirits.

The grudge spirit spell was highly effective against a large number of monsters. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Although the grudge spirit spell itself didn't have immense destructive power, it could target many enemies at once.

When facing a monster horde, the unique properties of the grudge spirit spell made it more favorable than other spells.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment when the barrier would finally collapse.

Just 3 kilometers away, another person was waiting for the barrier's collapse.

That person, of course, was Zenobia.

Zenobia had been searching the outer regions of Imperial Capital for a long time but had not found what she was looking for.

Eventually, she determined that the artifact she sought was in the heart of the Imperial Capital.

To break into the heart of the Imperial Capital quickly, she had summoned all the monsters from the surrounding areas to her side.

Moreover, she had torn apart the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon she had previously controlled into numerous fragments.

She then integrated these fragments into the monster horde, significantly boosting their strength.

"As soon as the barrier falls, I'll be able to rush into the heart of the Imperial Capital," Zenobia muttered to herself.

The instant the barrier collapsed, both sides on the battlefield felt a violent surge of energy.

Both humans and monsters immediately entered their most powerful states.

On the battlefield, Fuzzsir transformed into a terrifying fighting machine.

The vengeful spirits summoned by the skeleton staff surrounded Fuzzsir's body.

Each time Fuzzsir swung the skeleton staff, a number of monsters around him were slain.

His body also became grotesque and fearsome due to the influence of the skeleton staff and grudge spirit spell.

As more and more monsters were slain, the vengeful spirits surrounding Fuzzsir grew in number.

This caused his figure to become much taller than before.

For a moment, he became the most striking sight on the battlefield.

Many of the monsters began charging toward Fuzzsir.

He didn't choose to evade, because he knew very well that the more monsters' attention he attracted, the safer the heart of the Imperial Capital would be.

In a corner of the battlefield, Melania watched this scene with great concern.

"Why does he have to show off at such a dangerous time? Didn't he always say he was terrified of death?!" Melania didn't approve of Fuzzsir's actions.

In her view, while the defenses of the Imperial Capital were stretched thin, it wasn't as if they had to pin all their hopes on Fuzzsir alone.

After killing a monster of medium strength, she began to think about how she could assist Fuzzsir.

By now, a large number of high-level monsters surrounded Fuzzsir.

These monsters were mostly level 55 or above.

In this situation, Melania knew she couldn't get close to Fuzzsir.

On the other side of the battlefield, the members of the Eastern Territory Morning Star, led by Zovland, had barely managed to repel the monster assault.

Naturally, they turned their attention toward Fuzzsir's direction.

The ordinary members of Eastern Territory Morning Star admired Fuzzsir greatly.

However, knowing the past conflicts between Eastern Territory Morning Star and Northern Territory Morning Star, none of them dared to speak out in praise.

Only Calla, standing beside Zovland, couldn't help but exclaim, "He's truly more courageous than I expected."

"Courageous?" Zovland scoffed. "He's just showing off. He thinks by doing this, he'll get noticed by the higher-ups of the Federation."

Calla frowned.

She didn't agree with Zovland's words.

However, she didn't argue. Instead, she asked, "Shouldn't we offer some help to Fuzzsir? If he gets killed by the monsters, the pressure on us will be far greater than before."

Zovland hesitated for a moment.

In truth, he was quite eager for Fuzzsir to be killed by the monsters.

But he also knew that the Federation's higher-ups were paying close attention to the battlefield.

If he truly stood by and let Fuzzsir die, the Federation would undoubtedly question him later.

"We certainly need to save him! But we can't be as reckless as he is. We must plan our route carefully and make all necessary preparations before we act."

The majority of the people shared Zovland's thoughts.

While they also wanted to save Fuzzsir, they all prioritized ensuring their own safety first.

This resulted in a strange situation on the battlefield.

Fuzzsir was surrounded by numerous monsters on his own, while the others slowly made their way toward him.

When Melania saw this scene, she was filled with fury.

"These cowards!" she muttered to herself.

She decided she wasn't going to wait for the others to act any longer.

Since no one else was willing to save Fuzzsir, she would go alone.

Melania immediately transformed into a shadow and swiftly blended into the monster horde.

Using her teleportation skill, she quickly reached Fuzzsir's vicinity.

"I'm right near you, let's team up and fight these monsters together!" Melania shouted to Fuzzsir.

She needed to make sure he knew she had arrived, so they could coordinate their attack.

However, Fuzzsir didn't immediately respond.

He couldn't hear Melania's call at all.

In the earlier battles, he had been continually weakened by the monsters.

And with the negative effects from the skeleton staff stacking on top of that, he was now only operating on pure combat instinct.

Fuzzsir's state made Melania even more concerned.

She knew only one thing to do now: she had to reach Fuzzsir at any cost.

One monster after another fell to her attacks.

She was now only a hair's breadth away from Fuzzsir.

At that moment, a massive shadow in the sky blocked the view between Melania and Fuzzsir.

A gigantic evil dragon descended from the heavens.

As it landed, the evil dragon blew away both Melania and the surrounding monsters.

At the center of the battlefield, only the evil dragon and Fuzzsir remained.

Despite his poor condition, Fuzzsir was still able to recognize the evil dragon's intentions.

He raised his skeleton staff and coldly spoke, "You think you can defeat me just because I'm injured? You've greatly underestimated me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuzzsir launched an attack.

However, his strike had no effect at all.

The evil dragon easily evaded his attack and countered.

The evil dragon unleashed a torrent of blazing flames from its mouth.

Instinctively, Fuzzsir raised the skeleton staff, preparing to defend.

But in that moment, he suddenly realized that his mana was completely exhausted. He could no longer cast any spells.

"Am I really going to die here? It seems I won't be able to hold on long enough to see the reinforcements arrive after all."

Fuzzsir was utterly despairing.

He stared blankly at the direction of the evil dragon. The searing flames were already almost upon him, yet he didn't move to evade.

It seemed as though he was just waiting for death to claim him.

Just as the fiery flames were about to strike Fuzzsir, they inexplicably stopped in mid-air.

From a distance, Luca's signature voice rang out: "I always show up at the most critical moment!"
