Siva (Volume 1) The Legend Of The Destroyer

Chapter 30: Siva's Roar

Chapter 30

Siva’s Roar

He tried to defend but the B-rank monster was in his best condition, maybe someone who came from the back ranks while the bigger ones fought the dragon over him. He could only gasp and wide eyed surprised as the dragon, for the umpteenth time, defended him.

It ate the B-rank monster and its friends, five in all, crushing their bodies, throwing them away, and using his spiked tail to the damage.

The event only took a mere few seconds and Siva’s heart skipped a beat every time he saw a monster got killed by the dragon’s prowess. What more, though it already had the chance and the opening to kill or eat him, it still did not bask in the treat and instead went to finish off all the B-ranked monsters around.

“S-Siva…Aaaaarrgghh…” As soon as Samara found her bearing, she tried to stand up using her broken arm but ended up falling and rolling in pain when she finally realized.

She could’ve logged off but didn’t since logging off in the field and not in a safe zone had a consequence of not being able to log in for the next 72 earth hours. And not only that, users who logged off in the middle of a fight not only lose the equipment in their 3-slot settings, they also lose all money and items they currently had in their inventory.

So in short, quitting when in the middle of a fight where you had a chance of dying will make Janus angry and punish you severely.

It was this settings of the central AI that controlled the world of Terroa that made some users angry. But it also promoted security from a lot of unfair adventures not happening at the same time.

“Samara!” Agatha’s voice echoed in the voice chat of the communicator. “Siva, what happened to her?!”

“She got a broken arm!”

Their communication was halted when the dragon’s rampage ended with a crushing victory over the puny little B-ranked monsters. As the view was cleared and replaced by blood and gore from the dragon’s rampage, the panting creature glared at Siva and roared victorious in their midst.

The act gave the impression of the Lion King on that pedestal rock. And his subjects all watched from the sidelines as it proved once again why dragons are to be feared inside the game.

It was a unique skill from the dragons, Intimidation, that made them kings of the forest. Even if it was just a Forest Dragon, the lowest of the dragon race, it was still a Dragon who was the most powerful mob (or boss) in RPG: Terroa. 

This skill that can make players freeze within a set of time is what made dragons almost unbeatable. 

Intimidation, just like the skill’s name itself, once a player hears (especially sees) a dragon execute the Pose of the King, they all gets paralyzed and ends up freezing in place for five seconds (10 for those who sees). And when the players are frozen, that’s where the dragon gets the chance to eat. In short, it was a skill made to be the dragon’s weapon against them all.

But not every soul in the vicinity was affected of the skill. There was actually one person who had enough spirit to actually defy the intimidation of the king.

As soon as a notification in his vision said [Paralysis status rejected!], he knew automatically that he was in on a special of special cases. He glanced at Agatha who then spoke, “I‘m paralyzed!” and glanced back to the steady Samara who still wore the pain expression as she held on his broken arm.

“Heal Samara!” He said and stood up.

‘What are you going to do?’ Agatha said and began to run as she pants in the background.
