VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Many who are familiar with games involving hunting and killing would be familiar with the term 'kiting' where someone lures in a bunch of monsters to a specific place without getting attacked by them.

It is a very important part of a lot of hunting games, as well as the games that involve a large field.

There are some basic rules to Kiting, but the most important of them all is dragging all the aggroed monsters to the predetermined spots without dying.

[{ "Ten seconds." }]

[{ "Spell is ready." }]

In a dungeon filled with hundreds of thousands of high level monsters who mostly had a weakness to fire attribute, simple one to one hunting was not going to be anything fun.

-Shrrrrrrrr…

"Miu!"

"That's right. She seems to have brought more this time."

She had experience with this kind of dungeons that were used for mass leveling of a certain force.

The new knights of Yuta used this place for the leveling purposes, the higher level knights were all the spearheads that took the lead and helped the newer knights with leveling up.

They called it an inspection, but this was one of the most important training of their days in Yuta.

Those specifically handpicked by the hall masters were the only people that got to come to this place.

It was a restricted area so not just anyone could come here. The people that could fight with the Elm monsters were low as well.

Their hard outer bodies made it difficult to deal significant damage to them.

Wounding them was not an option and dealing with them in groups was an even more difficult task, but for a knight, it was the most basic thing to Protect their teammates.

"Help me, Sera."

[{ Yes, master. }]

All those knights and the Hall master came together to defeat the creatures of this dungeon, the same creatures that the two of them were taking on all by themselves.

[{ "Three…" }]

It was absurd that the two of them were the only ones doing it.

-SHRRRRRRR…!

But, an even more absurd thing was how they had already cleared ten percent of the dungeon's population in the last six hours that they had been in this dungeon.

[{ "Two…" }]

"They are here, Az. Prepare your spells as well."

"Muuuuu~!"

It was not possible through simply fighting the small bunch of creatures that came to fight them after sensing them in their environment.

If they had stuck with the traditional methods, even with their unique spells that were highly useful in this certain scenario, they might still take a week to reach their goal of 60% of the dungeon's total population.

And, they did not have a week.

They needed to move out of the town within four days. That was their goal right now, and to achieve that goal, they were kiting an awfully large amount of creatures of various areas into a certain place.

[{ "Cast the spell!" }]

-SHRRRRRR!

"KTKTKTKTKTKTKT!"

"KRRRRRRRRR!"

"KRIIIIIIIIIII!"

Just like right now, Alex went and kited around a hundred or so creatures to the certain place that they had created, an open area where they had engraved a magic circle on the ground, and a perfect spot in this dungeon where they could accommodate that number of creatures.

-Ooooooooooooooong!

He cast his fire attribute natural series spell and created the wide area magic circle on top of the bigger magic circle.

[{ "That's too much, Alex." }]

[{ "It's only one hundred and thirty! We can fit that many into that big place at least!" }]

"KTKTKTKTKTKTKT!"

"KRRRRRRRRR!"

"KRIIIIIIIIIII!"

The noises that these creatures- that seemed to be made of wood but in fact had flesh and blood- were very annoying.

Elio did not dislike how these creatures looked, but even he couldn't stand the kind of noise they made when they gathered them all into one place.

He did not want to kill them, but there was no need to keep them alive when he understood how all these creatures, at the end of the day, were not the same as the real creatures…

"Az! Now!"

"Muuuuuu~!"

The creatures, the hundreds of Elm creatures that resembled ants, chameleons, snakes, sloths, beasts, and all kinds of other forest animals were already affected by the red magic circle that they were standing upon right now, but that only gave them the debuff.

The real damage was going to be up to Sera, Alex, and Az.

-Oooooooooooooooong…!

Just like the Dark magic circle from the dark mage's cave, this magic circle engraved on the ground was made with costly materials as well.

It was the same as the spell circle of the mages, and required a great amount of Mana to activate and maintain– which they had substituted with the Mana crystals.

Az was in charge of activating the conductors with its Mana.

It had an amazing Mana control so, while it activated the Mana circle that created a gust of wind that combined together with the heat of Elio's spells and made a tornado of fire, Sera assisted Alex deal with the creatures that were left out from the kited group.

"Skiiiiiiiiiiii…!"

"Kytkytkytkyt!"

"Hgiiiiii…!"

Combined together, they all created a scene that would be recited by the demon bards in the taverns of the underworld.

'I still don't like this…'

The tornado of fire, a monstrous, whirling vortex of flame, tore through the ranks of the horde. The Elm creatures, spawns of the Elm guardian, were engulfed in its fiery embrace, their screams covered up by the roaring inferno.

The ground trembled under the impact of the strong winds generated by the combination of spells, and the heat from the tornado was so intense it seemed to warp the air itself.

[{ "Hahahaha~! Look at this beauty, darling~!" }]

The already humid environment of the dungeon made the winds even sharper. The way they tore through the creatures, burned them alive, killed them in a matter of moments was a sight that was, ironically, disheartening to Elio's eyes.

Alex loved it. Stay tuned with empire

There was an excited smile on her face as she sliced through the creatures of the dungeon, there was a unique madness that he was familiar with.

She was enjoying this. So much so that he did not want to say something that would ruin this whole bright mood of hers.

He knew there would be a time to discuss this matter, so he just clenched his fiest… and watched the death, the massacre that was repeating itself for the twelfth time before his eyes.

"Chirp!"

He was at the back, resting with Miu as he looked down at the dreadful scene from the branch of a tall, colorful tree.

Below, Alex's swift, precise strikes were a blur of steel, while Sera's light element magic danced like a pianist's fingers, each spell a destructive spear that found its mark.

Their coordinated attack was a ballet of guiltless deaths, their flowing movements a stark contrast to the chaotic frenzy of the tornado.

[{ "This was fun, hehe." }]

The tornado vanished soon, and along with it, the lives that had been present around them were gone as well.

[{ "Can we take a break now?" }]

[{ "Sure~! I'm hungry as well~!" }]

"Miu!"

"Muuuuuuuuu~!"

Az, still humming with the residual energy of the spell, Flew back to the top of the tree branch to Elio and its friend Miu.

Now that they were finished with this segment and they were going to take a break, Alex would have to climb the tree as well.

The ground was still hot and charred. Elio knew that the hot environment in this already humid place wouldn't help with the resting part at all… so, this higher ground was the better option.
