"I-I think I hit the wrong guy!"
"Is it you, Eight? Eight! Answer me!"
No response.
The other guild members felt their confidence earlier breaking down really fast.
"What about you, Twelve? Are you hurt?"
Again, no answer.
"Fool! Don't make a move before we destroy the illusion nodes!" "Boss" demanded in a loud voice.
"Boss" was the strongest guild member sent by Centipede Guild, who was said to be an elite apprentice from a major organization. He was expelled for his misbehavior later and became a rogue. Even so, both his talent and knowledge were way more competent compared to the other people in the group.
"Who's there? Urgh!" someone grunted.
"Three?! What's the matter?"
"The b*stard is ambushing me. Don't come, I can manage. Keep your guard up!" "Three" replied in a trembling voice.
The others couldn't do anything but to wait until the painful screams of "Three" became weaker and then disappeared.
