Monster Wave - Part Two

[In the same year, in order to further enhance your strength, you decided to go out and hunt elite-level creatures. However, shortly after leaving the valley, you realized something was amiss. A large number of monsters were rushing out from the depths of the monster forest, and these monsters all had blood-red eyes, their condition extremely unnatural.]

[To avoid being trampled into a pulp by the enraged horde of monsters, you chose to join them, running in their direction towards the outskirts of the monster forest. It seemed that because you were also a monster, they did not attack you much, but this made you even more curious about their destination.]

[During the day, the once turbulent monster horde suddenly became much quieter. The frenzied monsters at night had entered a sweet slumber during the day. You guessed that someone had control over these monsters, hence the formation of such a monster horde. You felt that continuing to stay within the monster horde would be very dangerous, and you wanted to leave. However, you soon discovered the giant crows circling above the monster horde. You noticed that during the day, the red glow in the eyes of some monsters seemed to disappear, and they also wanted to break away from the monster horde. But the moment they left the group, the giant crows in the sky attacked them.]

[A red orc, clearly much stronger than you, was instantly torn to pieces by a giant crow. After seeing this, you silently lay down to recover your strength.]

[When night fell on the second day, the monster horde continued its journey, resting at sunrise, which was very consistent with the monsters' routine. You did not know where the end of this journey was, but you felt very uneasy inside.]

[On the fourth day, you finally reached the end of this journey. Looking at the huge towering city wall in front of you, the mystery that had puzzled you these past few days was finally solved. The monster horde was actually targeting a human town. Without giving you any time to react, the monster horde launched an attack on the human town. Since you were at the rear of the group, you were not among the first wave of monsters to charge.]

[Watching the monsters around you scrambling towards the city wall, you sneered and retreated to the very back of the group.]

[You quickly realized that because the group was too dense, you couldn't retreat and were forced to push forward. Meanwhile, on the city wall, a woman clad entirely in silver-white armor caught your attention, making it hard for you to look away. Although this woman was of stunning beauty, it was not her looks that drew your attention, but the dangerous aura she exuded.]

[As the monster horde approached, the woman raised her silver-white longsword, her long hair flying in the strong wind. Her face was extremely stern, her posture upright, like a legendary Valkyrie. The next second, the woman swung her sword, and a hundred-meter-long sword scar instantly covered the battlefield, killing nearly a thousand monsters in an instant.]

[Seeing this, you felt a deep fear from within. This woman was definitely not someone you could contend with, even if you evolved into an elite level or beyond.]

[You wanted to flee the battlefield, but you knew that trying to escape would only result in being trampled into a pulp by the monster horde. Your brain worked rapidly, and looking at the dense crowd of monsters around you, you reached out and pierced the throat of a nearby monster, then began to frantically devour it. The surrounding monsters occasionally bumped into you, and your injuries continued to worsen, but the power within you also kept increasing.]

[Behind the monster army, a sorcerer-like monster was chanting a spell. As the incantation continued, a strange red mist gradually rose in the night sky. It didn't take long before all the monsters were enveloped in the mist.]

[Some monsters that had regained clarity and wanted to escape became even more frenzied after being eroded by the red mist, and their bodies swelled, seemingly increasing their strength. You were also eroded by the red mist, and as an ordinary creature, your strength instantly reached the elite level, but your will was also eroded. You became extremely angry, and the scent of humans in the city became unusually sweet. Like the monsters around you, you charged towards the city wall without regard for anything.]

[However, it didn't take long before countless arrows rained down on you. At the critical moment, you used your willpower to pierce through the desire, resisting the craving for flesh and blood, and hid behind a giant bull demon. His body completely blocked the arrow rain, and you were almost unharmed.]

[But the arrow rain seemed endless, continuously shooting towards the monster horde. These arrows seemed to be enchanted with magic, easily capable of killing elite-level creatures, and even creatures above the elite level could be easily pierced by these arrows. Seeing this, you realized that the combat power of humans in this world was very high; even ordinary soldiers probably surpassed the elite level.]

[Before long, the bull demon in front of you died from too many arrow hits. You carried the bull demon's corpse as a shield and occasionally took bites to recover your strength. The bull demon's strength far exceeded yours, and as you devoured his flesh, your body began to heat up. You felt your strength continuously increasing. You were very aware that whether you could survive this monster horde depended on how much your strength could improve, so you seized every opportunity to enhance your power.]

[Although you never exerted yourself and were always backstabbing your teammates, no one noticed that you were profiting for yourself in such a massive battle.]

[Four days later, by skulking around, you reached the edge of the battlefield. Your stamina and energy had reached their limits. Although you had truly advanced to an elite-level creature three days ago, such high-intensity combat was still very difficult for you. Fortunately, your luck was good enough, and by avoiding combat as much as possible, you successfully survived until now.]

[But your position had reached the edge of the monster horde. You knew this was your only chance for survival. You frantically fled outward, constantly being bumped into by fearless monsters. There was not a single good patch of flesh on your body, and you were on the verge of collapse. Your brain had almost stopped thinking, leaving only the last belief: to escape the battlefield and survive.]

[The scene before you kept changing, the sky turning from white to black, and then from black to white. At some point, you completely lost consciousness, and your body fell heavily to the ground.]

[A light rain began to fall from the sky, the cold raindrops hitting your body. You groggily opened your eyes, then opened your mouth and stuck out your tongue, desperately trying to drink the rainwater. You wanted to live; having escaped from that war, no matter what, you wanted to survive.]
