Chapter 205 - Beast Tide (2)
( Neatwits POV)
Monsters were everywhere , while everyone else was in groups of four , he preffered to be alone. He was currently standing beside an archballistae at a three storey building overlooking the war scenario.
To be honest his sector was not really performing That well. He was guarding the southern side of the city and in face of the massive beast tide , the Elites could only kill a few beasts before they needed to withdraw to safety.
He had to personally help and rescue two groups who were cornered by a wolf pack . Neatwit using his semi?legendary unnamed sword turned the tides of the battle really quick as he killed the beasts .
To his joy he found out that killing the beasts in the beast tide although did not give any loot , they still have EXP's for the kill as he levelled up !

He levelled upto 58 , but the main point was not that he levelled up , the main point was that a part of his mentality changed. He started to see the beast tide as a huge opportunity for farming EXP , If used right he could easily level up to level 62 or 63.
There was no stopping him anymore , as he turned from a guarded squad captain into a berserk warrior in a matter of moments. Brandishing his black runed sword as he sliced through beast hides as if it was paper.
But trouble came knocking on his door soon , his exemplary fighting style had alarmed some nearby adventurers from other guilds , who wished to eliminate this merit farming machine.
Although humans were supposed to fight beasts as common enemies , the primary reason why all guilds participated in this event was because of selfish motives. Victory was the only important destination and the journey did not matter.
A group of five adventurers from the guild Elementals saw Neatwits exposed back as he faught a mutated leopard and wanted to take advantage of the situation by backstabbing him.
They were silently creeping up on him , when one of the party member said " Jack I think u should use cutthroat , it will be done and dusted with one move ".
However no response came from jack. The adventurer found it weird as he said " Did you hear me you moron? ".
But as he turned around he saw that his other four members were lying dead on the floor , before he could scream or even blink his eyes a dagger slit his throat using the skill cutthroat.
He fell on the ground dead!
It was SMG who wiped the party members trying to sneak on Neatwit , he was in the area when he saw them sneaking up on a focused neatwit. Alas they died without making a sound!
Only now did Neatwit notice SMG and he said " Ohhh , SMG , did you know killing beasts gave you EXP? It's a good chance to increase levels ! ".
SMG gave him a thumbs up sign in response and escaped in the shadows. He had no intention of farming for exp right now , his task at hand was far more important.
About two hours passed since the event started and the Elites still had a small lead , however it was only marginal now.

( Jhonny's POV)
Jhonny was roaming the streets of sector 5 , with his epic rated sword in hand , he was looking for players to kill.
He was walking alone on the streets , when he saw a giant mutated Rhino.
[ Mutated Rhino Chief ] ( Lv 55 ) : It's skill charge and penetrate are devastatingly strong. A slightest contact will send you flying.
Avoid at all costs.
Jhonny saw the beast from far , then he checked the surroundings , there were a few adventurers here and there , but none were Elites. He sighed in releif , he quickly turned his steps and RAN!
He had faith in his terrible luck , if the Rhino even got a whiff of him , he would undoubtedly charge towards him in this entire crowd of players.
If nobody was watching then he had no shame in running away.
However unbeknownst to him , the Rhino had already locked him on as his target , and although it was 50 meters behind Jhonny , everyone in between Jhonny and him were unfortunately in the violent Rhinos rampaging path.
Whatever street Jhonny passed , soon players would be seen flying left and right. Screams could be heard wherever he passed through.
Jhonny had no idea that the bull was chasing him , he was running casually as he reminisced his time in country F , he would often go for morning walks there while he was on the assasination mission.
In the ten minutes that he jogged , the rampaging Rhino had sent over 1200 players flying , formations were broken , even more players died because of the surrounding beasts gaining the upper hand. Only when 50 men teamed upto kill?the beast that he met his end.
Unbeknownst to jhonny , he had caused other guilds a massive headache to deal with.
An assasin from true Elites guild who was watching the scene from the start , was but in awe of sir Jhonny . It was true that the guild leader had assigned them the role of disrupting other guilds. However he beleived that it meant to silently assasin some enemy guild members and run away. Never had he thought of such a novel way of disrupting others . Especially while looking soo calm as if it was a routine morning jog.
His respect for elder Jhonny skyrocketed that day.
