Is this really a Game?!

[Entering the dungeon as a party, party size : 5 ]

In a flash of light everyone disappeared from where they stood, opening up their eyes they could see the familiar cave in which they all fought and finished their first dungeon in. The cave here was a bit different though, the size was many time bigger than before and only the ceiling had crystals on it, nowhere else could they be seen.

"So it seems they already mined all the crystals in this cave huh?" Reign says while looking around him.

"The walls of the cave are gone, seems like the attack from above tactic won\'t work here." Wolf observes everything around them and tells. "That was probably just something the game put to make it easier for everyone at first anyway, not like we didn\'t expect it."

"Yeah, and not to mention this freaking base, it\'s definitely not what I expected to see." Shadow says with a heavy look on his face, in front of them everyone could see what looks like a rock village surrounding a small fortress in the middle.

The houses were small, not enough for an average human to reside in but enough for goblins, just by looking around they could see a huge amount of goblins moving to and from the village, most of them were quite low level but there were higher levels near the fortress. The fortress didn\'t have a gate, just a big hole from where you could enter and leave, on each sides on it were hobgoblin guards making sure nobody could enter without permission.

"It seems like the dungeon is quite simple, we just need to enter and kill everything while finding out why the goblin chieftain is collecting the crystals." Tank says with an excited look on his face. "We can finally go all out here."

"Don\'t be too relaxed, these goblins might be weak but the second we start the attack we will be surrounded, not to mention that the stronger foes will join the battle." Reign calms down Tank and gets ready for battle.

"A blitzkrieg tactic is probably the best one we can use, once we get inside the fortress we will be able to defend ourselves easier and not be surrounded by all sides." Wolf grabs his greatsword and tells everyone with a grin on his face.

"So, we just charge huh, I guess that\'s better than just waiting here." Shadow grabs his two daggers and spins them around his hands playfully.

They all break into a run and charge at the fortress, Tank holding his new huge shield was first with Wolf following right behind him. Shadow stuck right behind them using his ability to cloak himself while Beast used a small shield on his hand while drawing his bow mid run with his wolves protecting him on both sides, Reign was last, his job was to make sure no enemy attacks Beast from behind.

The goblins finally detect the group and immediately start screaming, getting weapons from their houses they all charge out and wait for their attackers to arrive.

The distance between them slowly got smaller.

10 meters.

8 meters.

6 meters.

4 meters.

2 meters.

"That\'s nice, forming a group right in front of me you little green fucks, let\'s see what you can do against this." Tank shouts as his shield suddenly turns bright red, hiding most of his body behind it he shouts

"Bull Charge!"

The shield flashes with red as an illusion of a huge red bull forms around Tank and everyone behind him, as he gets into contact with the goblins chaos breaks loose.

Bam!

Dozens of goblins were thrown into the air following Tanks attack, the skill he used was incredibly useful in a charge as it uses all the momentum formed by Tank and everyone else, coupling that with his incredible physical strength and mana it made for a devastating attack.

Tanks didn\'t stop there though, the red bull was still there, albeit a lot more illusionary compared to before, continuing with the charge all goblins in front of them were either knocked back or simply crushed due to the overwhelming strength difference.

Halfway to the fortress the skill finally ended, leaving Tank drenched in sweat and with a heavy breath.

"Tank, switch!"

Tank dunks immediately as Wolf jumps above him, holding his flaming greatsword in his hands he slashes down with all his might.

"Flame Slash!"

A huge semi-circle forms around Wolf as he slashes with his sword, managing to hit multiple goblins the flames explode everywhere, swallowing up a big amount of them.

"Kyaa!"

The goblins scream and fall back, fire was a natural enemy to many monsters and beasts, even though goblins have learned how to use it over time they still had a great amount of fear towards it.

Swinging his giant sword around him Wolf was decimating the goblins, behind Shadow was throwing his daggers everywhere, every time they hit they would scatter into purple particles and form again in his hands.

[Rank C Twin Daggers]

Atk: 20

Def: 0

Spirit + 1

Agility + 1

Description : A set of twin daggers that look unimpressive at first, the damage and bonuses they give off are those below their rank but by using mana the player can summon them back immediately, making for great throwing weapons.

The daggers were something Shadow gained while hunting with everyone these last 3 days, moving his hands as swiftly as he could he also uses a skill.

[Deft Hands]

[Description : A basic skill for everyone that wants to improve his hand speed, giving a boost of 50% hand speed, beware, overusing this skill can lead to damage to the wrist and arm muscles.]

With the skill active Shadow hands looked like a blur, throwing his dagger left and right he decimates his opponents before they could even come close to him.

The wolves were also busy, protecting Beast they lunged at every goblin that comes close, swiping with their claws or simply using their mouths they ripped apart the throats of their opponents while leaving them on the floor to struggle and slowly die.

Beast was using his bow and quickly fire off arrow charged with mana, his arrows would pierce through 3 to 5 goblins every time they were released and would explode with a green light at the end.

[Exploding Arrow]

[Description: Focusing all mana on the arrow head the arrow first gains a big pierce boost, the player can then detonate it with a simple thought or let the arrow explode when it loses power.]

In the back Reign was also busy, using his sword he was as firm as a wall, killing all the approaching goblins with ease while simultaneously using his ability to stun groups of them from time to time.

[Lighting Arc]

Description: By focusing lightning on the hand the user is able to fire an arc of lightning that chains to multiple opponents, effectively stunning them.

That way the group slowly but surely made their way to the fortress, until something unexpected happened.

"Are they retreating?" Shadow says while looking at the goblins that had thrown their weapons on the ground while running away from them.

"Yeah, it seems they aren\'t that loyal to their chieftain huh." Tank says while grinning.

Right then a sound of a horn blowing could be hear from the fortress, the group immediately gets into a fighting position as they face it.

"Doesn\'t this look like a different phase of a dungeon, first we had a bunch of weaklings to deal with, and now stronger enemies come forward." Reign smilingly says, moving forward to the front of the group he looks at the approaching group of hobgoblin that exited the fortress.

"There\'s more than I thought, this won\'t be easy Reign, we might have to go all out here." Wolf says with a grim face as he wields his greatsword in anticipation to the battle.

"We\'ll see about that."
