Chapter 762: Chapter 763 – “Benefactor” weirdest move yet?

(Players.)

(NPCs.)

(And the monsters that were present during the death of the demon lord Abigail....) – thought GreyHunt as he nervously looked in the direction of the oasis.

(This shitty bastard! Does he not care about hiding anymore?!)

(What the fuck is the "benefactor" doing right now?!)

(This is the same as with the demon lord.....)

"..."

(Oh shit....)

(This is the same when it came down to the assault on the Oin empire capital.)

(Where the broken Caliburn was!)

(That means that whatever is inside of that dungeon, must be as worthy as it?!)

"DON’T HOLD BACK! USE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO BREAK THROUGH!" – shouted GreyHunt.

"THIS INCLUDES ALL OF YOU FUCKERS! IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE! THEN FIGHT!" – shouted GreyHunt at the players outside of his team.

"EXTERMINATE ALL OF THESE MONSTERS!"

"I’M GOING AHEAD TO STOP THESE FUCKERS!" – shouted GreyHunt as he instantly started running, diving into the shadow to dodging the giant’s palm, before then emerging from the shadows and using [Shadow Blink] and [Demonic Step], conducing two short range teleportation to dodge the spells fired off by the angelic abominations.

GreyHunt wasn’t beingly stinky with his skills. He was using movement speed boosters and movement type skills to dodge and go past any and all monsters that gotten in his way.

All in hopes of reaching the oasis.

"!"

(Shit!) – and upon reaching its entrance, GreyHunt spotted countless corpses of the Umil kingdom’s soldier laying around, dead.

GreyHunt didn’t paid any attention or tried looking for the survivors, as he just ran straight into the life filled oasis.

Upon entering it, GreyHunt’s entire environment completely changed.

From a harsh desert, to the peaceful and fresh forest, which was not only much suitable to live in, but was also filled to the brim with wild life, such as animals and plants.

However, as GreyHunt run through it, he saw the carnage, the destruction... And death.

Animals and soldiers were lying dead everywhere where he ran through.

(We left the city few hours ago.) – thought GreyHunt.

(And ran here as fast as possible, not bothering one bit in hiding our movement.)

(But still.... When did the fight started?!)

(When we lost the communication? Or bit later?)

(The traces around still look fresh.... So, they must had just gotten past this place!) – thought GreyHunt as he continue running at top speed.

However, as GreyHunt run, a massive fist suddenly emerged in front of him, alarming the man as he quickly leaped to the side, barely dodging the massive fist.

"Tch! What now?!" – said GreyHunt as yet another giant type enemy appeared... But this time the creature appearance was way different.

It was a monstrosity which looked like a humanoid giant made out of countless layers of skin which were held together by countless hooks.

[Creature 3]

"Oh, what the fuck?" - said GreyHunt.

(Why the hell am I encountering creepy ass monsters lately?)

(Heck. The Forgotten Blacksmith and his minions were creatures which had pieces of metal just stuck in their body, like some sort of murder looking crime scene.) – thought GreyHunt as the creature swung around its arm, sending flying several hooks and blades in GreyHunt’s direction.

However, GreyHunt retractable blades struck the blades that were sent his way, before then instantly counter attacking with his guns, hitting the creature several times.

And these weren’t just random shots either.

GreyHunt fired off enchanted shots.

GreyHunt aimed to quickly finish off the creature as his bullets tore apart the creature’s surface.... And only surface.

"!?"

GreyHunt watched in confusion as the surface of the creature just pilled off... Multiple times at once.

The layers of the stitched skin fell down on the ground... And the giant?

It didn’t had any damage left on itself.

"..."

GreyHunt didn’t said anything and began shooting at the creature as it began chasing after the demonic human, unleashing its claws and throwing its blades at GreyHunt, who easily dodged all of the attacks, while also pilling up the damage on the creature.

However, as the damaged piled up, another layer of skin started dropping off the creature’s body, revealing yet another surface which was not damaged one bit.

"..."

(He is like a Russian doll.) – thought GreyHunt as he dived into the shadows, dodging the creature’s claws, before then emerging from the massive tree’s branch nearby, getting above the creature before then quickly reloading his guns and unleashing another barrage of bullets that blew off the creature’s layers of skin covering its head, ripping it apart and causing yet another molding process to occur.

(Whenever he takes damage, he just throws away his skin on top.)

(Or maybe the skin itself is some kind of barrier? Like whatever is beneath all that skin is the real body?) – thought GreyHunt as the creature claws extended and grew in size, before moments later the creature swung its arm around, trying to hit GreyHunt who was just shooting at it from above. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

However, GreyHunt leaped at the creature, parrying it claws with his swords, before then getting on top of the creature and landing several slashes and stabs with his swords, dealing massive amount of damage to the creature in short period of time.

And as the damaged stacked up, more layers of the body began falling off the creature, making the creature shrink with each lost layer.

(He is getting smaller.) – thought GreyHunt as he leaped away, dodging the claw attacks while the creature another layer of skin detached itself.

(...Still... This guy... He doesn’t feel like those abominations that the "Benefactor" created before... Heck. The other monsters I saw before alongside this one look nothing alike.)

(I don’t mean like perfect fusion of bodies and what not, just how it was with humanoid monsters.)

(But-)

As GreyHunt tried organizing his thoughts, the skin monster swung its claws once again at GreyHunt.

"!?" – however, this time they were much faster, which surprised GreyHunt.... But not completely as he used his retractable blades to block off the claws.

But it wasn’t just single attack.

The speed of the entire creature increase.

(Berserker type?) – thought GreyHunt as he parried incoming blade attacks, before then quickly rushing towards the creature and landing several sword slashes.

The creature tried counter attacking, but GreyHunt just blasted the creature right in the face with both of his guns, dealing critical amount of damage to his foe.

"Get the fuck out of my way." – said GreyHunt as he stared ripping apart the creature, making it lose its skin at the extremely alarming rate.

"..."

"The creature has been killed." – said the masked soldier who was also wearing a cloak with hood.

"Didn’t you said it would survive for bit longer?" – asked the man wearing a black and red mask, while standing above the corpse of the rattlesnake lamia who was in charge of defending the oasis.

"Yes.... The monsters should be still holding the remaining adventurers back and the second wave should also make their appearance by now."

"..."

"..." – the man wearing a black and red mask looked around, spotting the corpses of the Umil kingdom’s soldiers, spreading everywhere throughout the oasis... As well was what appears to be somewhat old yet stylist entrance.

(The Umil kingdom forces were exterminated and the communication has been cut off.) – thought the man wearing a black mask.

(So, we should-)

"!"

The man wearing a black and red mask suddenly took out his sword and swung it, unleashing a blast of energy that barely stopped in time few bullets... But not all of them, as several bullet flew past the man and hit the other masked figures around him.

(What the hell?) – thought the black and red masked man as yet another volley of shots came his way, but this time not only being in much larger quantity, but also quality, as pretty much all of the bullets were overcharged with demonic magic.

The masked people tried defending themselves with their weapons, but the power of the bullets were overwhelming, which completely caught off guard the masked figure as they tried using quickly any defensive skills to defend themselves... But bullet barrage was too quick for some people to react in time as they ended up getting shot.

The black and red masked man managed to protect himself yet again from the bullets... But as he did, two flying demonic slashes came his way and landed a direct hit, dealing a solid blow, before exactly 1 second later, a massive demonic slash came his way, which traversed the space instantly and landed the third hit as the man was still stagnated by two other slashes.

The third slash ended up landing a critical blow on the black and red masked man, which ended up even stunning him.... Which was the worst possible timing as of right now.

Why?

Because yet another barrage of bullets came flying out.

"ENOUGH!" – however, just as the man was about to get shot to death, another masked swordman, wearing a black and blue masked stepped in, swinging his blade and unleashing a golden light which swallowed the demonic bullets and repelled them away.

"..."

(Sword skills, gun skills, demonic skills.... And the speed to get here.) – thought the man in black and blue mask.

"Are you going to keep hiding or what?" – shouted the man with somewhat young voice.

"GreyHunt?!"

"..."

A horned human, wearing a blackish red armor covered in belts and also had a scarf covering his mouth, had walked out from the forest.

"..."

(That man.... He is a player.) – thought GreyHunt as he stared at the man in black and blue mask.

(And.... Shit.) – GreyHunt looked in the direction of the man... And saw a sword.

A sword which had a blade made out of the golden light.

(What the fuck are you doing!? Swinging THIS thing out in the open?!) – thought extremely nervous GreyHunt who was able to hide his expression behind a poker face.

(The fact that he is using it.... Dammit! YOU SHOULDN’T BE SWINING THAT THING JUST LIKE THAT?!)

(Is that "benefactor" crazy?!)

(...Then again... This is beyond crazy what he is doing right now....)

"..."

"I know you did something to the communications." – said GreyHunt.

"But don’t you worry. Before I came here, I already informed the Umil kingdom about the situation here."

"Soon army will arrive here."

"So.... Surrender or die."

"No other choice here." – said GreyHunt as he aimed with his gun.

(There is no way the soldiers here didn’t raised the alarm... Yet I didn’t received any news... That means the communication had been cut off.) – thought GreyHunt.

(I’ve contacted the queen as we ran towards the oasis in order to inform her about the situation.... But probably I can’t contact her now. Didn’t tried yet, but I can definitely guess that it won’t work.)

(Anyway, they are not attacking.... Are they analyzing the situation?) – thought GreyHunt as the enemy wasn’t on the move one bit.

(Or are they waiting for me to make a move.)

"..."

"Stay out of this." – said the man with dark and blue colored mask.

"Or what?" – asked GreyHunt.

"Do you really think and I mean REALLY think anybody would let you go?"

"Considering what you fucking did and who you are working for."

"Do you really think that ANYBODY in the whole world with a sane mind would let you go?"

"This is my last warning."

"Stay down."

"This place will be swarming with soldiers soon, and not some random ass ones, but elites ones."

"No matter if you kill me or not."

"The dungeon will be not yours."

"So your only chance is to surrender or run."

"But do you really think I will give you a chance?"

"So.... Surrender or die."

"Only freaking options."

"..."

The man lifted up his sword of light and pointed it at the GreyHunt.

"So, we are doing it rough, huh?" – said GreyHunt.

(Welp, this was beyond predictable.) – thought GreyHunt.
