Only My Weapons Level UP

"I knew that something like this could happen... but I didn’t think that so many overlords would work together to crush me," Terry thought.

The unfolding scene was marked by an unsettling realization – it seemed as though the enemies had meticulously prepared for this very moment. The sudden appearance of multiple portals and the emergence of such a diverse and organized array of monsters hinted at a level of coordination and strategy that Terry hadn’t anticipated.

Amidst the chaos, the armored bulls surged forward with a calculated determination. Their massive frames and imposing armor suggested a formidable resilience, and they charged directly toward Terry with an overwhelming force. Simultaneously, the electric birds swooped down from above, their charged presence and swift movements indicative of a coordinated assault.

The intentions behind their coordinated tactics became clearer as Terry assessed the situation. The electric birds weren’t just attacking from the sky – they seemed intent on paralyzing him, incapacitating him for what was to come. Meanwhile, the armored bulls aimed to take advantage of his immobilized state, hoping to trample him underfoot.

A deeper analysis of the armored bulls revealed the extent of their defensive measures. Their bodies were almost entirely encased in impenetrable armor, presenting minimal openings for attack. Even their eyes were shielded, leaving virtually no vulnerable points. These creatures, with their ten-meter length and horned appendages resembling steel spears, exuded an aura of indomitable power and unwavering purpose.

As Terry confronted this onslaught, his mind raced to formulate a response. The magnitude of the challenge was immense, and the adversaries arrayed against him were unlike any he had faced before.

"I have to kite them until I can use the portal..." Terry thought and then began to run to the side.

The best option was to stay close to the portals and decrease the number of enemies. Still, in a matter of seconds, each portal spawned hundreds of enemies, so Terry wondered if he could pull it off.

The electric birds wasted no time in launching their attack. Lightning spears crackled to life, and with astonishing speed, they arced toward the ground. Terry’s eyes widened as he witnessed the almost instantaneous descent of these electrified projectiles, their lethal intent clear.

Understanding the formidable speed of lightning-based attacks, Terry’s instincts kicked in. He knew that lightning traveled at almost the speed of light, leaving little room for evasion once it was unleashed. In a split second, he reacted, his muscles responding to his decision to jump to the side the moment he saw the telltale energy-shrouded wings of the enemies flapping.

His swift reflexes proved crucial as the lightning spears struck the ground where he had stood just moments before. The sizzling impact of the bolts leaving scorched marks on the earth was a testament to the lethal accuracy of the birds’ assault. Terry’s heart raced, his senses heightened by the realization that the enemies’ attacks were every bit as deadly as he had anticipated.

With the dark pegasus boots propelling him, Terry swiftly changed his approach. Transforming his weapon into a crossbow, he let loose a barrage of bolts aimed at the electric birds. However, the thunderous clash of elements quickly unfolded as the lightning bolts that had emanated from the avian adversaries intercepted his projectiles midair.

The result was both awe-inspiring and disheartening. The lightning bolts intercepted and collided with the oncoming bolts, the clash of energy creating a mesmerizing display of light and power. Yet, Terry’s ammunition was no match for the electrical onslaught. The bolts were engulfed by the lightning, melting into nothingness before they could reach their intended targets.

"... How annoying," Terry thought and then transformed his weapon into a spear since the bulls were getting closer.

The armored bulls surged forward, their momentum growing with each powerful stride. Despite not following a linear path, their movements were marked by an increasing speed that belied their massive frames. The sight of their charge was a testament to the combination of their formidable strength and the meticulous preparation that had gone into their approach.

Terry’s mind worked rapidly as he evaluated the situation. While the armored bulls appeared to prioritize speed and endurance, he suspected that their attacks would be equally potent. Their formidable bulk suggested that even a single strike from them could be devastating, and Terry was acutely aware of the weighty consequences he faced.

Nevertheless, determination fueled his next move. Terry made a split-second decision and charged towards one of the armored bulls with all the strength he could muster. With his weapon transformed into a spear-like form, he aimed to impale the creature’s head, where he perceived a potential vulnerability. The force of his attack caused a visible crack in the monster’s armor, a testament to the power he could muster.

Yet, the outcome was far from what he had hoped for. The monster’s sheer momentum proved overpowering. Terry’s attempt to penetrate its defenses ended abruptly as he was thrown away, the force of the armored bull’s charge sending him hurtling through the air.

As he was propelled backward, Terry’s response was swift and instinctual. His shield came up to block the barrage of electric spears launched by the electric birds. The crackling energy met the unyielding surface of his shield, yet despite the protection, a jolt of electricity managed to course through his body.

"Ugh," Terry grunted in pain.

Terry could see the drakes flying to the sides and the magma golems moving to the other. They wanted to finish an encirclement on him... the trolls were right behind the armored bulls to offer support since they are equally troublesome with their regeneration.

"If they are making this move here, my arrival was expected and they probably created this second Portal here somehow... they also can be targeting New York," Terry thought when he landed and then he was bit by three bulls at the same time. "I don’t have time to waste here."

The enemies’ ability to rapidly spawn numerous monsters was undoubtedly a formidable challenge. However, Terry recognized a silver lining in the midst of the chaos – while their numbers were overwhelming, it would still take some time before the overlords themselves arrived on the scene. This presented a crucial window of opportunity, a chance to turn the tide in his favor before facing the more daunting prospect of confronting multiple overlords at once.

Terry’s strategic mind raced as he assessed the situation. He understood the intricacies of the adversaries he faced, and he realized that he had a fleeting advantage before the true overlords entered the fray. This momentary reprieve allowed him a chance to weaken their forces and establish a foothold before the ultimate confrontation.

Amidst the turmoil of the battle, a dual threat emerged. As Terry found himself pushed back by the charging armored bull, the very ground beneath him began to tremble. His senses tingled with a growing awareness, and he quickly discerned the approaching presence of the yellow Lizards, who were seemingly poised to join the ongoing conflict.

"No pain no gain..." Terry thought.

As the chaos raged on, Terry’s actions were driven by a combination of instinct and determination. With a burst of strength, he leaped backward with all his might, putting distance between himself and the charging armored bull. Swiftly assessing the battlefield, he then turned his attention towards the electric birds, their lethal spears of lightning crackling menacingly.

The birds unleashed their electrifying assault, sending a volley of electric spears hurtling towards Terry. In the face of the onslaught, he gritted his teeth and braced himself. Every fiber of his being screamed under the electrical assault, his nerves tingling and protesting against the jarring voltage. Yet, with unyielding resolve, Terry endured the torment, his determination overriding the searing pain.

Closing the gap with the electric birds, Terry seized the initiative. His shield became a formidable weapon, as he swung it with calculated force, aiming squarely for the head of one of the avian adversaries. The impact was jarring, the monster’s armored head cracking under the weight of Terry’s assault. Swiftly transitioning his shield into a spear, he plunged the weapon into the wounded creature’s head, its resounding agony echoing through the chaos.

The electric bird trembled in a visceral display of pain, its previously formidable presence diminished by Terry’s decisive blow. In a fluid motion, Terry capitalized on the moment, using the body of the wounded bird to launch himself towards the next adversary. The momentum carried him forward, his movements a blur of speed and intent.

Terry’s movements became a blur in the air as he propelled himself forward with remarkable speed and agility. Despite his rapid maneuvers, the onslaught of electric spears persisted, striking him from behind time and time again. Each impact sent shockwaves of pain through his body, yet he endured the torment with grim determination.

The secret to his resilience lay in his weapon – a source of both offense and defense. The healing properties it possessed allowed him to weather the electric assault, each hit slowly sapping his health but also granting him a regenerative reprieve. However, as the stock of his health began to dwindle, a sense of urgency weighed heavily on Terry’s mind. The strategy of relying on his weapon’s healing abilities seemed increasingly unsustainable, the limits of its effectiveness becoming evident.
