Re: Evolution Online

Stamina quickly became a huge issue.

While everyone's levels and stats were steadily increasing and making their lives easier, their stamina was only going down. 

It did not matter how many stat points they allocated to stamina, it was just not enough. The swarm was way too overwhelming.

It's already been 15 minutes since everything started, and thanks to the constant fighting, every single crimson abyss guild member was only barely hanging on.

And at this time, the other dreadful advantage of these insects was slowly starting to rear its ugly head, the effect of their venom!

Every single insect was capable of an attack that sprayed venom everywhere, and when they finally went down, their green blood also splashed in all directions. 

This seemed to be a defense mechanism of these insects which made sure to torment their enemies even after their death. 

While avoiding these poisonous fluids from one or two insects was doable, currently, everyone was being badgered by numerous insects from all directions. 

Even Alex's tanking skills were only able to keep the numbers in check. She was completely helpless when it came to preventing the horrid green splashes.

It was proving to be completely impossible to do anything about the venomous fluids that were spraying everywhere, and after the first few minutes, the effect of this started to show. 

Everyone's movements became lethargic and started to slow down little by little.

At first, this wasn't obvious, but slowly the effects became pronounced. 

Their mental faculties, thinking abilities, the efficiency of their attacks, skill usage, and mana consumption, everything was gradually starting to deteriorate.

While all the crimson abyss members were suffering from these symptoms, the weaker ones started to go down faster.

And the two who suffered the most were Judah and Shin Soo. Though they were by no means weak, both of them were directly stung by these insects.

Judah's entire body had already begun to change color. He was one of the first to get attacked, and so he was currently in a bad state.

Shin Soo was not doing any better as he had been stung more than once by these insects in his left arm. He was only still able to fight because he had just been stung.

However, looking at Judah's condition and how the damned terror was continuing to rain down without stopping, Shin Soo made a rash decision. 

He let out a raged howl as he bit his lips and, in one swift motion, chopped his own arm off to stop the spread of the poison.

Alex froze when she saw this. Her reddened eyes became even more furious at these never-ending insects, and her heart clenched at her pathetic state. 

Liam had trusted her, but she was letting everyone down.

Just when they managed to get a grip on things, stronger ones started coming out, and now once again, they were in hot water and only barely surviving. 

Not all of them might even survive when this was over. Heck, only a few of them might survive, if at all.

The legendary items, the strong weapons, the skills that they brought over from within the game, none of it seemed to matter anymore.

They had trained like maniacs in the dungeons and improved their skills. None of that mattered. In the end, it all came down to survival, and it did not look like they were going to.

Everyone was completely overpowered and on their last straw. The advantage the insects had with their huge numbers was not something that could be easily handled. 

More and more people were getting stung and brought down by the poison.

Not only Alex but everyone else also had bitter looks on their faces. They were all trying their best, but the situation was only getting out of their hands. They now understood the true horror of the apocalypse.

When things first started, Liam was standing with them, and it did not seem so bad. However, now that he was not there, they could feel the real terror of this new world. 

Their own helplessness stared into their faces. There was nothing they could do, and nowhere they could run. They had to stand and face this new reality.

At this time, no one could see past the swarm, but outside the whole mess, there was another group of people who had assembled.

Lan Ganjie stood tall along with all the civilians of the Crimson Abyss guild.

He observed everything with a heavy heart. He did not understand what was happening or where these bizarre insects had popped out from, but he knew one thing. 

They had to do something! They had to help their guild!

He knew very well that most of the civilians were barely Level 5, and that was only because they had received assistance from others. Their combat abilities, their experience, their knowledge, everything was a big fat zero.

However, if they did not act now, then there would never be another chance to make up for this mistake. Even if it was simply running to their deaths, their best chance of survival lay in helping the main members of the guild right now.

Perhaps with a little help, the balance would shift. It might be wishful thinking, but it had to happen. With the main group completely destroyed, then there would be no chance whatsoever.

Instead of waiting for their deaths, it was better to die fighting alongside their guild. So clenching his fists, Lan Ganjie gave the last and final order.

He commanded the civilians in the guild to step up and fight alongside everyone. 

They did not have the firearms or weapons required for everyone, so many directly jumped into the fight with rough common weapons. 

They knew that this was most probably the last thing that they were going to do with their lives, but they still roared loudly and charged forward.

It was their one last attempt to survive!
