After successfully recruiting Julia, Viktor and Viez return to the club. Viktor was resting in the VIP room. He settled himself on the soft mattress with his head laid on Princess's lap.
"Rest, dear." While humming, Eva gently stroked Viktor's hair.
The soft strains made Viktor feels comfortable. His eyes felt heavy.
Finally, after a long day, he could rest.
But it didn't last long.
Weew! Weew! Weeew!
Suddenly, there's a siren sound wailing that knocked Viktor out of his dream. Eva also looked confused by this sound.
"Damn! what now?"
Viktor quickly jumped out of bed and was about to come outside to see what had happened. But, before that, he told Eva to stay here with the others. Especially Liza
After that Viktor quickly came down to the 1st floor, there's Viez and about thirty of her girls seemed to be ready to go to battle.
"Viez?"
The red-haired woman was seen preparing weapons.
"There was an Abyss horde attack. We have to go help."
In Perm City, there were 16 guilds hired by the mayor to protect the city from monster attacks. One of the guilds belonged to Viez.
"The Shield Maiden has a contract to protect the city. So we were expected to step in a situation like this, you dont mind if we joined dont you, boss?"
Viktor sighed.
He actually wanted to relax and leave this matter to the adventurers hired by the Mayor. But seeing that Viez and her girls were also involved, he couldn't help but have to step in.
In addition, Vikor also wanted to see the strength of the Perm city guilds.
"Okay, let's go," Victor said.
They had barely stepped until the exit; Jessi, Barry, Kosta, and their two loyal bodyguards arrived.
"There was a Horde attack. I'm with Viez and the others will help to defend the city. You all stay here, watch over the club."
They all nodded, following their Young Master's instructions.
After that, Viktor and the girls went to the battlefield.
Outside, civilians seemed to be running towards the south. Meanwhile, the adventurers with their full weapons rushed in the opposite direction.
"Looks like the north gate was the one that got hit," Viez said.
In Perm City there are three entrance gates. Each gate has a defensive barrier to protect the city from monster attacks.
The first gate was in the northern area, just across the Kama River. The second gate was in the northwest area, in a former industrial area. While the last gate was in the southeast area.
When the protective barrier break, the siren would turn on so it can be heard throughout the city. Then all the adventurers, especially the ones that got hired by the Mayor will come to the scene.
Viktor with 30 Shield Maidens took off towards the north. So did the other adventurers.
"Djinn, how many monsters are there?"
A bunch of information suddenly goes to Viktor's head
[Critters - creature abyss - 4210]
[ Hellhound - creatures abyss - 2,232 ]
[ Gargoyles - creature abyss - 331 ]
[ Cerberus - creature abyss - 2 ]
<there should be more coming, still outside my sensor range>
Viktor clicked his tongue in frustration after hearing the number of the monsters.
<kekeke, don't worry… I sensed that hundreds of Sky Realms and Earth Realms already guarding the gates. There is even a Saint Realm among them.>
"Saint?"
After running quite a distance, they arrived at the harbor where Viktor first anchored. Some rivers seem frozen as if they were deliberately built to be bridges. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the north gate.
In the sky, the yellow veil that was the defensive barrier had disappeared. People fought against thousands of hellhounds and hundred of gargoyles flying through the sky.
The buildings around the gate were visibly destroyed and burned.
The Sky Realms with various elemental spells held back the hordes of monsters. Some flew through the sky, striking lightning bolts. There are also those who shoot ice arrows to take down several gargoyles
Meanwhile, the adventurers who were in the Earth Realm stage resisted the rage of the hellhounds who tried to sneak into the settlements.
Viez with 30 women from were ready to fight, but they seem to be waiting for instructions from Viktor.
"How about we jump straight into the battle ?" Viez asked. His face looked like he was in a rush to fight.
"Just kill the hellhound There are the most of them."
They nodded.
Viktor continued to watch from behind, watching the battle progress. He was still holding back from removing the Witch's Pendant.
"Raaawr!"
In the midst of a pack of hellhounds appeared two giant three-headed dogs. A very familiar creature for Viktor.
"Cerberus!" The adventurers of the Earth Realm screamed. They began to withdraw from the battle.
Viktor's hand was ready to take off the Witch's Pendant when suddenly, a man in black armor dashed into the battle and fought two Cerberus alone.
In his hand was a spear and his entire body was covered with lightning. Even the way he moves is as fast as lightning. His movements made the three-headed dog confused. And slowly tore Cerberus's bodies.
"Look! It's Argus, the saint warrior, the strongest person in the Black Company!"
Suddenly the Earth Realms who were retreating got their spirit and attacked the monsters again.
Viktor's eyes focused on Argus. "So that person is Saint Realm?"
<That's right.>
Then dozens of people who were dressed the same as Argus charged from behind.
Viktor's body was almost dragged away by them. Luckily he was able to get out of them.
Then, Viktor saw from the east side about thirty people in red armor sweeping through the hellhounds.
"Red Keeper! Kill all the hellhounds!" A large soldier in red armor led fifty soldiers behind him.
"Ura!"
They crushed every hellhound that tried to sneak in. One by one the hellhounds were killed by them.
Before Viktor had finished observing what was happening, someone shouted from behind him.
"Don't let the other guilds show off! Let's show the power of Blue Pegasus!"
Groups of troops dressed in white and decorated with blue joined the battle.
Not long after, various groups with different uniforms began to appear.
They are 16 guardian guilds of Perm City.
"What the hell is going on?"
Each group of them shouted their respective guild's name, then plunged in to finish off the monsters.
At that moment Viktor realized, that this battle was not just defending the city. But it's like a stage for the guilds to show their strength to each other. Including the guild, he led, Shield Maidens.
Of the 16 existing guilds, only 13 were present defending the city. One of the absent guilds was destroyed by Viktor, called Widow Maker.
The tide of battle gradually turned. The hordes of monsters were successfully suppressed by the guilds. More than half of the hellhounds have been wiped out and the gargoyles flying in the sky have been executed.
One of the Cerberus was successfully overthrown by Argus. Then he and the members of the Black Company ganged up on the remaining Cerberus.
Viktor decided to stay at the back of the battle letting the other guilds finish off the monsters.
Meanwhile, he arranged for Viez and her warriors to stay at the backline, just in case one or two hellhounds got loose that could harm the civilians.
Besides, he didn't want Viez or any of the girls to get hurt.
After an hour of fighting, all the monsters were successfully pushed back. Only one monster left. Cerberus.
Bang—!
Argus's lightning spear pierced into Cerberus' heart.
"Raaawrrgh!"
The one head that remain roared in pain. Then he fell and didn't move anymore. With this, the horde leader was killed.
"We won!"
"Yaaaay! Go to hell you monsters!"
The people cheered with joy. Meanwhile, Viktor and the Shield Maidens only saw people cheering.
Then they started picking up spirit stones from the monsters they had killed.
"We can come too, right?" Viez asked Viktor's permission to pick up the Spirit Stone.
Viktor nodded in agreement. Then Viez with her girls picked up spirit stones.
When they thought it was all over. The real threat has just arrived.
<kekek… I have bad news.>
Viktor was immediately surprised when he heard Djin's voice in his head.
"What do you mean?"
BRRR! BRRRR!
Suddenly a big earthquake occurred. The adventurers who were originally picking up spirit stones started to panic.
"What is going on?"
"Earthquake?"
Suddenly the sky became dark. They thought it was better. But it didn't. People started to look up at the sky.
Viktor can see a figure of a four-headed monster with a body that was about 60 meters long floating in the sky of Perm City. The head of a goat, the head of a lion, and the heads of two snakes of ice and fire.
The faces of the people who were originally beaming turned pale.
Viktor's eyes opened wide as he saw the figure of the four-headed monster.
