Chapter 594 Monster Wave
The sudden monster migration that occurred not too far from the city caused panic among the angels as they have not experienced a mass migration of monsters all of a sudden. Not only that but all of them are aggressive and will attack anything and anyone on their way. They were like they were being provoked by something that caused them to rush there like a mad beast that has no control over their minds.
Due to this, all of the Pioneers are tasked to prevent the city from getting breached by the monster wave. Harmless Sparrow, Mr. Teddy, and Sigma are also on the frontline. Fighting monsters from monsters who threaten to destroy the defenses of the city.
"The monster wave is not that bad compared to the time we had to fight numerous monsters back when we were tasked to help the expedition to the Frozen Region. However, these high number of monster waves attacking simultaneously are excessive."
In the distance, one of the Pioneers who are tasked with signaling others the incoming wave due to his passive where he can see from afar started waving a red flag, meaning a monster horde is incoming.
"Looks like break time is over. Let\'s clear this as fast as we can, shall we?" Sigma smiled.
"Hmph, you are saying it like that even though you are literally just standing there while killing all the monsters incoming. It\'s kind of unfair," Harmless Sparrow pouted.
"Hahaha, you just needed to get good I guess."
And the battle begins. Mr. Teddy who is always silent rushes to the frontline and using his big body, he catches one of the charging bulls barehanded. To stop it completely from its tracks, he punches its forehead and then kicked its jaw with his knees. This causes the bull to get stunned momentarily before he delivers a swift punch that is strong enough to blast through the head of the bull, causing awe to other players who are also there Who would have thought that someone who only has a full body suit of a teddy bear as equipment can actually do that?
Harmless Sparrow did not get left behind as she released multiple AOE magic spells as she waves her magic sword. Every enemy she meets would get blasted by magic or get destroyed by the sword then get blasted inside with built-in magic.
Then there\'s Sigma, who just stood there in the middle of the battlefield, with her mace used as a cane. She watches the battle as monsters started rushing toward her. But she didn\'t move an inch, and before the monsters can even reach her, they all fall down one by one as golden chains started to attack the monsters. For other Holy Knight, controlling the [Heavenly Chains] is not easy as they seemed like they will just shoot anywhere. But for Sigma, she uses it with extreme precision. And whenever the skill is on cooldown, she would use her [Spears of the Heaven] and rain it down on the monsters who thought they can escape from her wrath.
Some of the Pioneers recognize her immediately after her spectacular way of fighting.
"Hey, isn\'t she the "Immovable Holy Knight"? The one who fought against the solo guild war monster guy during the last Battle for Blood?"
"Oh, yeah! I also recognize her! Holy sh*t! She was a pioneer in this continent!"
"Her battle style was really unique. I never expected to see someone just stand there menacingly and then kill all enemies on her path."
Hearing all of the talks, Kazuki, or Kaisar at the moment got pissed. He indeed managed to enter the Pioneers but he rarely have any kind of recognition from other people. He barely has any influence from other people. His plan of spreading his name by taking a different approach to being a good player just ended up as a failure as the limelight is all stolen by Sigma who defeated him last Battle for Blood. Despite coming in third place, he didn\'t have any kind of fame that would make him famous enough.
Instead, most of the players in the community are always talking about Sigma or perhaps the person who managed to defeat Sigma in Battle for Blood and the one who is known for his exploits as a player who usually fights solo. The person is also known as the "Wolf Masked Player" by many players online.
Just thinking about it made him angrier and he started lashing it out at the monsters in the surroundings. However, he has to ensure that his name will spread after this expedition ends. He cannot fail in his plan to impress his father and gain the position as the head of the company. If he managed to do so, perhaps, his father might agree on leaving the seat to him
Still, he had some hopes of that happening here. Without a definite goal for the quest here just yet, he knows that he will soon get a chance to spread his name with no one going to insult him. He will succeed and he will prove that everyone is wrong about him. But for now, he has to prevent the monsters from invading the city.

"General. The Pioneers are able to easily wipe out the incoming monster waves. Although there are still many of them out there, the Pioneers are killing the monsters just fine."
"Don\'t just order the pioneers and let them do all the work. Assist them in this battle. We can\'t keep on taking their help for granted. Fight and help defend this city from the monsters."
The angel made a salute before going back to the others to relay the orders. Alynna sighed as she rubbed her temple after feeling a slight headache from all the monster attacks that has been happening all around. She is not sure what is happening, whether it was the work of the cult that is trying to delay their investigation or perhaps a different matter.
"This is getting out of hand already. I don\'t like the feeling of this."
While the angels and the rest of the pioneers are trying to defend the city, Bladeheart who is doing his best to finish the expedition as soon as possible is now running out from the ruins with the last dark core that he is clutching on his hands.
