Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 724 End Of Wave 1



My accidental kill over the Brain Jacker also signifies the end of the first wave. The moment it died, all of the attacking monsters still suddenly fell to the ground and died without any apparent reason which also means their lives are connected to the Brain Jacker. With the main parasite dead, the others followed suit as well.

Every player present was stunned seeing the situation as they didn't expect that the monsters would die all of a sudden without their input and their falling like twigs just made me a little bit confused. But some who are able to immediately recover started to loot up the corpses. After all, it won't be long before their bodies disintegrate. Seeing many do this, the majority followed suit and soon enough, everyone else did.

As for Sigma and the others, they are still confused about what happened and examined the corpse of the Brain Jacker.

"Master. Are you sure that was a fluke or are you just a good marksman after all this time?" Tina looked at me with a questionable stare.

"Hey, I might have shot down the raid boss but that was just accidental! I didn't mean to kill it like that, alright?"

Due to the death of the boss, the system popped up and revealed that Wave 1 has finally ended. Then, a timer appeared up above the swamp, signifying that the battle is not yet over. However, everyone is a bit happy that the next wave will take place around 14 days which means preparations this time will be easier and players learned their lessons. And if my assumption is correct, the next bosses will be much easier than the Brain Jacker as unlike the Brain Jacker that has some various gimmicks and some fast movements, the next monsters are just normal monsters so everyone should be going to have an easier time now.

As for me, I can now go and relax. But the battle is yet to be over and since the defense battle will still happen in the swamp, many players will still come here to chill out and farm for stuff which means I can still do some profit as well. Besides, I still can't leave just yet until Cotton has finished up her evolution.

"With the battle done, we should be able to relax for a bit, right?" I looked at Tina,

"Not exactly. During this time around, after the first wave is defeated, a small time of respite should be felt but the next day, the new monsters will come out again since it was yet the time of the raid, the monsters will act as wild monsters this time around. They will come in random numbers but not hordes of them, of course. Still, they will be showing up and that is the time everyone should thin them out before the start of the next wave, Still can't believe my parents had a hard time dealing with it right now even though we have done things perfectly without struggling much in the past even though we still have no access of help from adventurers just yet."

"OH? So that is the main purpose of the monsters that are not native to this area appear? Just thin them out before the next horde?"

"Yes. That way, the monsters attacking during the horde will have a harder time getting more backup or the enemies are not that much to handle, allowing for an easier battle against them and defending the place much better as well."

I shrugged after that, although I am doing some contributions here and there, it's not entirely my problem anyways so I don't really care much. But until the event ends, I will remain here for a while. After all, profit is much quicker here without any good competition,

While Bladeheart is happy about the end of the battle, Sigma and the rest are a bit disappointed. Not only did their prey were killed before they could bare their fangs on it, but it was also so sudden that they don't know who killed it.

Sigma investigated it but they didn't find anything else. The bullet has already sunk under the mud and she couldn't retrieve it to check anyways so she cannot determine who shot it anyways. They are also near the battlefield, which also means someone from the players might have shot a gun at an enemy, but the bullet missed and instead landed on the raid boss in an accident.

"It's kinda sad that we didn't get the kill that we should have gotten into, but well, the boss is dead, the wave is over, and now we can go and relax. There is no need to find who killed the boss accidentally, we should be grateful to the guy since we are spared too much running. Who knows if that monster will regenerate its strength after running away if we failed to catch it? Bigger problems for us," Dolly positively gave her thoughts.

"Yeah, you are right. There is no need to be sad. It's not like we will receive big honors just because we managed to kill the big guy. We should go back and prepare for the next fight. There's no need to cry on spilled milk, we already got the spoils, time to report to the king and queen and wait for the next wave and we should make sure to have proper preparation so that we avoid the scrambling disaster we currently doing," Sigma looked at the others and everyone nodded.

And so, the First Wave is over, with the castle of the Insect Kingdom still intact although it barely managed to keep the enemies in the bay, and if not for the players and the soldiers stopping the enemies, the place would have been a goner already.

Although the event has yet to be over, players who are streaming the battle begin to highlight the biggest moments in the event and what transpired while everyone else is busy in the game and their focus is all shifted to monsters. Which would make Sigma and the others an online sensation in the game overnight.
