“The gates won’t hold long…” Elise uttered as she rested her arms on Akkar’s back to heal him to full health. 

“Do you think we can win??” Akkar questioned while sitting on the ground to rest. For the last fight, he needs to restore some of his energy. Fighting on the frontline for almost an hour without any breaks drained his energy. The only thing that kept him moving was his willpower. 

When he surveyed earlier he found out that out of 1000 players. He estimated that there’s around 400 to 600 players alive. And they are at a huge disadvantage. Everyone on their side is too worn out to fight, and yetyet the goblins are still moving strong. They were smashing the gates non-stop as if they were craving for more. The humans they tasted earlier are clearly not enough to satisfy their hunger. Their current numbers are not enough to defend for a much longer time. A lot of their tanks and melee fighters have died already. Once the goblins break through the remaining tanks, and fighters. All hell will break loose. The supports and the range attackers can only run for their lives. 

“You don’t need to stress yourself too much. Win or loss, I’m sure everyone had fun. Even those two people fighting the enemy’s commander are probably having fun themselves.” Elise answered as she healed Hal, who was also resting beside Akkar. He may not have known it but today is one of the happiest days in her life.

“Sister is right, isn’t that why we are playing? To have fun, besides, I hadn’t had this much fun in years while doing my best.” Hal, who has been cleaning his swords with a cloth, reiterated. “You know, being a college student… There are barely any days that I enjoy. School life only gave me more stress no matter how good I did. But playing with you guys made me forget all the stress, depression, and all the sh*ty problems I had in real life. That is why win or lose. I still had fun, but I will still do my best till the end. So don’t you dare lose your morale to fight right now.” 

“Fun, huh… then let’s have more fun later.” Akkar muttered as he closed his eyes to rest. They were right. He was so engrossed being the commander of the army to the point that he almost forgot that he was playing a game. 

He realized that a lot of the game tutorials these days are unbeatable. So if the tutorial in this game was designed to be unbeatable. Then it wouldn’t matter what they do because the fate of the village is to be destroyed. 

“There, you’re all healed up. Don’t disturb me okay? I also need some rest.” Elise uttered as she stood up and sat beside Akkar. She then rested her head on his shoulders and closed her eyes. 

Akkar’s eyes were wide open, and his heart almost stopped beating when he felt Elise so close to him. Her silky smooth hair smelt great, and her head feels light and cozy. 

He would have never expected that Elise would be so bold to make the first move. And here he is, thinking of what he will do to get closer to her after they finish the battle. 

“By the way, I was just wondering why are you cleaning your sword? Although, the weapons that we chose couldn’t be damaged or dirtied.” Akkar asked Hal to calm his heart that was beating faster and faster. Elise’s slow yet seductive breathing. At the same time, he moved his body closer to Elise and adjusted her head for her to feel more comfortable. 

F*ck even in the game, I am a third wheel?? Hal glared at the two of them for flirting right in front of him. There is not even a single consideration for a single person like him. 

Noticing Hal’s deadly glare at him, he can only cast an apologetic look at him. 

“Hayst, anyway, earlier my instructor told me that cleaning my sword is a must. If I wanted to become stronger as a swordsman. It’s even more vital for me since I use two swords. I need to familiarize myself with my sword, its weight, length, every inch, and every edge. I need to know everything about my sword to get stronger. That’s what my instructor said. And I want to get stronger on this game to beat you the next time we fight.” Hal answered as he grabbed his other sword to clean it. 

“My instructor also told me that it’s always better to carry your weapon to get more accustomed to it.” Elise muttered as she enjoyed this moment. 

“It seems that our instructors recommended everyone to familiarize with our weapo…” 

Before Akkar could even finish what he was going to say, a village guard came to them and reported. “Commander, it seems that the gates will break any second now!!!” 

Elise’s lips pouted, hearing the report of the village guard. She hasn’t even thoroughly enjoyed the moment yet, and here they are, ruining their moment. 

However, she immediately changed her mindset. All she needed to do was to be his lover, and she could cherish these moments forever any time she wanted. 

“Let’s go?” Elise stood up and reached her hand out to him. 

Uh… 

He was stumped. 

He did not know what to do. 

Elise’s smile is super charming!! 

My heart is… beating so hard my chest hurts. My face is burning too… I’m sure I’m blushing hard. 

“Sister, seriously!? You guys are flirting right in front of me twice??” Hal stood up and walked to the gates. He couldn’t stand staying with the two love birds any longer. 

“Sorry…” Elise giggled as she apologized. She never expected that she would see a cute side of Akkar. 

Akkar managed to pull himself together as he held Elise’s hand and stood up. “Let’s go….”
