Giant Forest (1)

The two forces clashed violently, the invading guild had a rough time passing through the only way up, it was a tight and narrow gap perfectly built to easily deflect invaders.

The invaders used countless ways to invade, they shot projectiles at the enemy towers while using ladders to climb up, hover boards were an option as they could only go as high as ten meters, but the height of the elevated ground was three hundred meters up.

It was a perfect area to build a base for guilds, around the area was a zone that habited level five to thirty-five beasts, a perfect hunting ground which was why the invaders envied and wanted to steal this base but the defenders didn't budge.

Zoom continued to skim and watch a few large and small scale battles, duels, two on two and ranking sessions where a group of players ganged up on a lone player killing them together.

'I can become semi invisible and with my automatic looting passive I can easily pass through players, but I can die if I get caught in the crossfire, if only I could heal myself during fights!'

'Ciel isn't a healer, my parents don't really play healer.'

'I'll research about guilds in Cevy city for now.' Zoom took and wore his headgear as he sat on the chair.

Once logging in Zoom was located at where he was last standing before logging out.

He went to the chat section of the status screen and chatted Ciel, he had also received a friend request coming from a player named 'Nico' and accepted it.

Zoom told Ciel and Nico to grind together and level up.

"Alright Zoom, let's all meet at the west gate of the city." Ciel messaged, Zoom relayed this message to Nico and he agreed.

***

There were three figures that had gathered in the west gate, a young man that was both tall and fit with blue hair and eyes.

A scrawny man just as tall with black hair and eyes was beside him, he wore leather armour but didn't show or weild his weapon.

While a young lady almost as tall and similar with blue hair and eyes just recently arrived.

It was Zoom, Nico and Ciel, it wasn't long until they had all arrived at the west gate, people were going in and out of the city.

"Right now we only have three members, Nico included, I couldn't recruit anybody since they mostly went to either the Skylark guild or the Earth Monarchs, they're the biggest guilds in the area."

"Plus we don't even have any benefits to provide them since we don't have any funds." Ciel said, Zoom faced her before saying.

"I have a solution for that, but first lets level up so we won't be left out."

"Agreed!" Nico added, the three decided to go to a zone which was inhabited by beasts level five to thirty named 'Stone Steel Ravine', from it's name the zone is a long and wide ravine filled with countless ores and stones, mostly tier ones and two but sometimes you would come upon a tier three.

Zoom was level fourteen, Nico at level eleven and Ciel at level five.

Zoom and Nico had their own hover boards while Zoom had bought Ciel her own before going to the west gate.

The ravine was fifteen miles away and between it and the city is a large zone named 'Giant's Forest' with gigantic trees and was filled with powerful herbivores levelled at three to twenty-five, they were mostly herbs of gigantic beasts that feast on the planets.

They might not be as ferocious as other beasts but they come in groups and it's defence is above it's level, it's gigantic size alone is enough to trample most people.

As long as you don't disturb them they will ignore you, the three decided to hunt in this zone before proceeding to the ravine, Zoom also wanted to gather herbs to produce pills and sell them to players or NPCs.

***

After arriving in the zone after a few minutes, they passed along through the gigantic trees, herbivores where abundant as they were in hordes, the towered above most beasts with their size.

The herbs in the area were abundant, the were in larger patches and more common to spot.

Zoom was gathering most herbs as the other two didn't seem as interested, sometimes picking some up for money.

Rumble!

Approaching the trio were five beasts, they were as tall as four meters, they featured a mane similar to a lion, a head of a wolf and stripes of a tiger, it's tail similar to a tiger's being as long as it is.

There were only two of the beasts at five meters big while the remaining three were smaller, they seemed to be the cubs of the beasts.

The trio stood on guard and faced the beasts, only the two large beasts approached while the other three stood behind watching.

"Try to target the eyes first, I'll try to scout for a weak spot!" Zoom said, the two didn't argue and simply follow, they were used to it.

[A Looters Movement]

The two beasts didn't notice, they underestimated their prey due to their small size, they didn't focus on Zoom while he turned semi invisible.

Step Step Step...

While Zoom approached the beasts Ciel held two pistols, they were black in colour and looked advanced and futuristic, one pistol for one eye.

Bang! Bang!

Blue coloured bullets shot through the air, they were quick as a high caliber bullet even with their small size.

The beast evaded slightly, but it's size made it a bigger target.

Bang! Bang!

Ciel sprayed more bullets aiming at the face, it didn't land in the eyes but pierced through some of the face's vulnerable areas where there were no bones protecting it.

The beast wiggled side to side before fearlessly charging forward with it's mouth agape, it had enough of Ciel's bullets and wanted to rip her to shreds.

Ciel's level being low meant she couldn't deal much damage, but it didn't matter, the quantity of her shots compensated for her lack of quality damage.
