Chapter 20 : Your Turn
Noah''s momentum was still on fever as he made his way toward the tumultuous battleground where the members of Valiant Wave were locked in fierce combat with their opponent, Wreaking Havoc.
His eyes remained sharp as he navigated the chaotic scene. He had observed the back-and-forth banter and clashes between the two guilds, and now it was his turn to make another entrance.
As he neared the battle, the clash of weapons and spells grew louder, each echo a sign to the intensity of the confrontation. Noah''s heart raced a little bit, the thrill of combat surging to him. His Battle Mage pulsed with energy, ready to unleash its power upon his adversaries.
“Let’s…”
With a pretty excited expression, he raised his unique Lambasting Spear. His purpose was clear: to level the playing field and ensure that neither guild gained an upper hand.
Braaannnggkkk..
As he jumped in the midst of the battle, the eyes of both friend and foe turned toward him. With a burst of energy, he activated his battle skills, combining magic and melee into a seamless dance of destruction.
“Come…!”
Baammm…
With a deft flick of his spear, Noah conjured a swirling orb of flames. The fireball streaked through the air, leaving a trail of scorching heat in its wake. It collided with a group of Valiant Wave members, erupting in a burst of fire and searing their armor. The enemies staggered back, their shouts of puzzlement echoing amid the flames.
As the smoke cleared from the fireball''s explosion, Noah''s spear shifted with an electric charge. He directed his focus skyward, gathering lightning from the sky. With a powerful thrust, he released a bolt of lightning that crackled through the air, striking a Wreaking Havoc warrior with unrelenting force. The lightning arced to nearby foes, leaving them stunned and sizzling.
“Ahh…”
“Damn.. my HP…”
“There…!”
Noticing something, Noah swung his spear in a wide arc, creating a shimmering barrier of ice in front of him with a swift motion.
Bing Whammm Tranngg…
Noah''s movements were fluid as he shifted his attention to defense to contend against the incoming missile attacks coming toward him. The ice formed a protective shield, deflecting incoming arrows and spells from the Valiant Wave players. The enemies'' attacks were met with frosty resistance, and Noah took advantage of the momentary respite.
Dasshh
He took the momentum by advancing toward a group of melee users. He brandished his spear sideways and thwarted their foundations and positions. The ones who got attacked felt like their arms becoming numb as they defended against the attack. And for those who got the sharp end of the spear, they saw their HP dwindled down rapidly.
Drawing upon the arcane energies coursing through his spear staff, he conjured his power into a dazzling sphere of magic, a swirling vortex of energy that pulsed with raw might. With a thrust of his spear, he unleashed an Arcane Blast upon a group of clustered enemies. The explosion of arcane force sent them hurtling through the air, their health bars plummeting down.
Diinnngg…
With a momentary pause in the heat of combat, he invoked Mana Surge. A soothing flow of energy washed over him, revitalizing his magic reserves and replenishing his mana to cast his skills.
Caught off guard by the sudden appearance and ferocious assault of Noah, the Valiant Wave members found themselves plunged into a state of disarray and confusion. The battlefield, once a battleground for two opposing guilds, now became a chaotic maelstrom.

“Who the hell is that guy?!”
“Get him!”
“Bring that bastard down first…”
With that, they surrounded the spearman with a lot of units. That was the easiest plan as they got the numbers to make up the deficit.
But as the Valiant Wave members tried desperately to counter Noah''s onslaught, they realized that they were facing a tough adversary.
Noah''s presence became undeniable. His opponents felt the weight of his expertise and power, their ranks in a mess as they struggled to match his prowess with each attack.
Bit by bit, their orders were scattered, their morale became lower, and their once-formidable defenses rendered ineffective in the face of Noah''s sudden assault. The battlefield was strewn with fallen warriors, a witness to the power and prowess of a single individual who had made a mess out of their ranks.
The Valiant Wave recognized his actions as a turning point in the battle, the tide beginning to shift but unfortunately not in their favor.
The elite members of the Valiant Wave, drawn by the commotion and eager to avenge their fallen comrades, now converged on the scene with fast strides and stunned expressions.
They were clad in their formidable armor and wielding their impressive weapons, exuded an aura of confidence and power. Their numbers were fewer, but their skills were honed to a razor''s edge. The levels were also around 40 or 50, the same levels just like the elites of the Wreaking Havoc that Noah had faced before.
"Now, it''s your turn..." Noah''s voice trailed off toward the end as his spear thrusted into one of the elites. His spear was fast which caught the attacked elite off guard. He tried to avoid the spear but unfortunately, Noah was able to pierce this man and dealt a fatal damage.
Baanng Kraanngg Sriinngg…
As the clash of steel and the crackling of spells resounded, a fierce battle erupted anew. Noah''s Lambasting Spear moved with blinding speed and precision, intercepting enemy strikes and launching his own deadly counterattacks. His spellworks continued to bombard them when left unattended, forcing the elite members of the Valiant Wave to be ever-vigilant in their defenses.
The battlefield became more chaotic, with Noah''s opportune movements and versatile combat style keeping his adversaries off balance.
Noah''s resourcefulness became his greatest asset. When his mana reserves began to wane, he channeled his inner strength to continue fighting using his spear. His control over the elements and his impactful spear strikes formed a combination that was proven to be hard to handle.
"Did anyone even manage to land a proper hit on him!?"
"He took on all of us at once and barely broke a sweat... This isn''t how I thought this would go down…"
"Is he some sort of hidden expert? I personally have never heard of him before…?"
Despite their elite status, the Valiant Wave members found themselves hard-pressed to overcome the relentless assault of Noah. His lethal maneuvers and execution forced them to retreat, regroup, and contemplate their every approach. Each powerful strike, each evasive avoidance, showcased his prowess and made it clear that this was absolutely no ordinary opponent.
The elite members of the Valiant Wave were forced to acknowledge that their adversary possessed a level of skill and finesse that overwhelmed them. Noah''s ability to adapt and counter their attacks was proof to his experience and expertise in battle. As the battle kept waged on, the members of Valiant Wave began to realize that they were up against a player that was above their league.
The elite members of the Valiant Wave especially had suffered significant losses and their morale had taken a blow. Their initial confidence had been shaken by the seemingly relentless assault of Noah, whose reputation as a powerful combatant had been solidified on the battlefield.
Whaammm….
An Arcant Blast was just being sent over to their ranks and they were scattered like bees. Smoke and sands were raised because of the powerful attack sent by the lone spearman.
Step…
Step…
Step…
And as the dust settled once again, the remaining members of Valiant Wave cast wary glances toward Noah and took a few steps back, the unknown warrior who had single-handedly withstood their onslaught and emerged calmly from within the smoke.
His presence was like a reminder that the battlefield was a place that could tip just in a matter of minutes.
As the battle drew to a close where Noah put a distance over them, the field was already strewn with fallen foes.
"He''s just a single player! How could he dismantle us like that…?"
"I can''t believe we underestimated the Wreaking Havoc, that was a serious mistake..."
"I thought we had the upper hand before… Now we''re the ones on the defensive..."
The members exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a mixture of frustration and concern. The whispers of doubt spread like wildfire as they contemplated the implications of their defeat.
Amidst the frustration, questions and theories abounded, each member trying to make sense of what had just transpired. Their confidence had been shattered, and the reality that their opponent was no ordinary player was a tough pill to swallow.
And at this point, a person that looked to be a commander in the battlefield looked over with his sharp eyes.
