Omega Summoner

The first wave of monsters started to move towards the fortress. The first wave were skeletons and zombies of varying classes and constitutions. The wave of undead marched towards the fortress in a slow manner but not to the players waiting for the wave to come closer.

The NPC archers stationed at the wall already pulled their bows and waited for the first wave to reach the fifty meter mark. The arrows were lit with fire since undead are weak to fire and holy attribute attacks. The undead who were marching at a slow pace suddenly went frantic when their eyes fell upon the living.

The slow walking undead suddenly increased their pace. They ran towards the melee players who will engage them. The archers on the walls fired their arrows in panic as the command given to them was abrupt. The flaming arrows flew towards some of the undead yet they still charged without a care in world.

The mages both below the fortress and on the walls started chanting their spells. Even Peridot from Adrian's party started to do that as she whipped out a white crystal that radiated a warm light. Peridot chanted a few seconds before shouting the name of the spell.

"Sacred Burst" Peridot shouted with her voice echoing on the battlefield.

A miniature white sun with eight golden rings materialized above the fortress. It was like if the sun was white and had saturn's ring. The golden rings then spun until all the rings formed one giant halo on the white sun. A magical burst of light spewed upon then undead marching towards the fortress.

The players on top of the walls all looked at Peridot who casted the spell were in disbelief. The thoughts on their heads were, "Where did that hidden expert come from?"

Meanwhile, even the three boys in the party were flabbergasted as they did not expect such a spell from Peridot. Her spell decimated the first wave by about half and even prevented the undead from respawning. She decimated about more or less five thousand undead with the help of others since those who died were already low on health due to long range attacks.

Adrian suddenly asked, "Can you do that again?"

Peridot answered, "Nope." While acting cutesy.

Levin Cloud then answered why she could no longer do that anymore. "She used a special stone to do that probably a legendary stone with holy attribute." He said while still focused on the undead still charging towards the fortress.

Adrian only answered with, "That's too bad. We would get the top score if ever she could spam that."

Adrian then looked at the leaderboard and saw that Peridot had about 5,192 points. There were also some who had points about a thousand or so depending on the contribution. Levin Cloud immediately casted Gaea's Blessing on the field in front of them.

The players on the field started getting healed while the undead started weakening and the Dark Mist disappearing. His spell healing and damage were the same but the area it could now cover increased vastly due to an increase in mastery. Levin Cloud's contribution points were rising fast by the second. It seems that support players could get points by healing and applying buffs to others. Some of the priest caught on and also used their wide area heals but they were not as grand as that of a Child of Gaea.

The members of top guild who saw this made a mental note to talk to Levin Cloud after this siege as a healer like him will be very valuable in raids. They just hoped that he was not part of any guild yet of if he was part of one, they hoped their guild is friendly with his guild.

The lich who observed had its eye sockets flare up as if it was mad. The lich then once again used another spell and the Dark Mist that disappeared was on the field once again. The flowers that bloomed due to Levin Cloud's spell all wilted and died when the mist once again enveloped the area.

So far the defense was going well as none of the players died yet. That could be said as the case as the defense was only for an hour as of yet and the players still had consumables. Also, the players had not even broken through the blockade of undead and attack the lich that continues to summon the lesser undead.

The people at the top of the walls and even the player below then realized that the ghosts or wraiths were not attacking. They wondered what happened to them and thought that they may have been obliterated by the holy attribute attack earlier on. The players on top of the walls did not even notice that the little lizard that was chilling with the wolf was no longer there.

The lich then started another spell and a black magic circle extended once again with it in the center. A few seconds later, howls and roars could be heard from the forest. Emerging from the forest, numerous undead creatures started walking towards the fortress. The undead creatures were wolves, bears, and other animal like undead.

The undead creatures immediately pounced towards the players like a stampede. The players also met them head on but it was a bad decision as the lich empowered the undead creatures even further. The players on close quarters with the undead were now experiencing poison status conditions and bleeding status conditions due to the sharp bones of the undead creatures.

The players in the front was now weakening due to the status conditions. The support class players now had lesser time to heal their teammates due to applying purification on them. The defense was now a step more difficult than the first wave. To add much more difficulty, the skeleton mages that were near the lich were also chanting spells to buff the undead.

[The undead have been affected by Miasma. The undead will have their overall stats increased by 50%. Being near an undead will now affect you with the poisoned status condition where you will lose 1% health every ten seconds.]

A loud bang was then heard from the walls and a comet like skill shot was aimed towards the lich but the death knight parried the attack. The bullet that came from a magitech gun that a gnome player fired was then sent back to her. The gnome player did not panic as the warrior near her blocked the attack with his shield.

"It seems the only way to deal with the lich is to separate it from the death knight." The gnome girl said to her party members.

The others at the walls also listened in to what she said and also agreed to what she said. Adrian was also attentive to what she did and saw that not only was the shot parried but the lich used a deceleration spell. The lich slowed the bullet down just enough so that the death knight could send it back to the sniper. He also judge that the returned shot was twice as powerful as the warrior was immediately healed by their priest party member.

The players down below were also not faring well as they were slowly getting pushed back to the fortress. Adrian then decided to use his new skills to give a breather to the front line.

"Quantum Cascade" Adrian silently muttered as he looked at the epicenter that he wants the undead to be pulled into.

Adrian used a thousand of his mana to pull the undead that were near the fortress as a main target. A few seconds later a swirling vortex appeared but was hidden by the dark mist. An undead that looked like a sabertooth was about to pounce on a player but was suddenly pulled away. The players were dumbfounded on what happened but the lich that was in the field looked as if it looked at Adrian's location.

Adrian was happy that his planned work but was sad because the skill did not actually deal damage. Although, the undead did get damaged as they were pulled together in a cluster so suddenly. Still, the damage was not much and did not make a difference as the undead that were clumped together started advancing once again.

Adrian who was focusing on the undead advancing towards the fortress did not spot that a black projectile was flying towards him. Kabrakan immediately reacted and blocked the incoming projectile and even used a skill that increased his defense by 100% for five seconds. Kabrakan who received the attack winced in pain as it was extremely heavy even for him.

The black projectile was actually a dark metal spear. When Adrian shifted his eyesight towards the death knight, he could see that it had a posture as if it threw something. That event right there scared all of the players and NPC on top the wall because they did not expect that a death knight was capable of doing that. Kabrakan also lost a quarter of his health and he even increased his defense by 100%.

"This would not be easy!" Adrian stated as the atmosphere on the wall became heavy.
