JUST THE DIRECTION
It's been 15 minutes ever since Stalane started to lure the centipede which is also known as Epivlavis Pedecent. But the people she was expecting to kill the Pedecent on her stead could not even hit a damage on it. Instead of learning more about the monster's weakness, she was learning the flaws of these bravers instead. She was so disappointed.
"Kerin, get your sister and the others out of here first! We'll meet at the entrance of Aflavior Forest!" The leader instructed as he was breathing heavily due to exhaustion.
The guy who was called 'Kerin' appeared to be hesitant, "How about you, Blaze?!"
Stalane whistled as she saw another new magic that the man named Blaze created. It looks like a spell or skill which covers his sword with a fire.
"I'll look for a way to escape while buying you guys enough time. It's depressing that we could not defeat a 2G monsters yet, but we will have a lot of opportunities in the future. For now, we need to focus on our survival! Hurry and go!"
Stalane watched how Blaze desperately tried to attack the Epivlavis Pedecent but to only get hit by it instead. He was almost got bitten by the Pedecent but luckily he managed to dodge it. Blaze didn't managed to evade its legs, in the end he got stung by it.
What surprised Stalane was when Blaze swings his sword to the legs that tried to prick Blaze. The legs that got caught by the sword got burned. It was a good news to see that the Pedecent finally took an injury unfortunately it was replaced by a new one after 10 seconds.
Stalane thought hard about what she just have seen.
"Blaze!" Kerin shouted and immediately ran to his side. He immediately brought out a potion and let Blaze drink it. This was the 8th time Blaze drank a potion, it is because whenever they got hit their health immediately drops to red.
It looks like their party have a lot of potions on their hand.
"Take all of my potions, Blaze! Its poison is not something we could underestimate!" Kerin warned him as he took all his potions out of his inventory.
Even though Blaze drank the healing potion, he still look pale. When Kerin looked at his health bar, it was still continuously dropping.
"Damn it! How could I leave you alone if you're slowly dying already?!" Kerin cursed.
Blaze laughed dryly as he coughed up some blood, "It's a poison after all. We only have a red potion not a purple potion that could neutralize the poison"
After he said that, he held his sword and pointed at the Pedecent that was busy attacking his other comrades. "Hurry and go! I won't die, don't worry" he persistently persuaded Kerin.
"Tsk! Who's leaving who?!" Kerin left to attack the Pedecent.
But...
"Kerin! Watch out!" Blaze and the others shouted. Kerin's left hand was bitten and was pulled apart by the Pedecent.
"Argh!!!" Kerin screamed in pain.
Stalane blankly watched Kerin's suffering. She was not bothered by Kerin's situation but she was rather upset. "This is getting out of hand. I can't believe this" She sighed as she thought to herself.
"Before I could even find the weakness of this monster, these people will die first. I guess I'll just investigate it's weakness later." Stalane whispered as she jumped down from the tree.
In a flash, she was in front of Kerin who was screaming and was about to get another hit by the Epivlavis Pedecent.
Blaze and the others got alert by the appearance of a female braver. They thought she will either harm him or save him when she knelt down, but she did neither! She only took it's short sword that was laying beside Kerin.
"Could I use this? Well, let's see" Stalane said as she immediately disappeared from their sight.
"What the?! Where is she?!" One of Kerin's comrade asked.
"Look!" A guy pointed at the Pedecent that was slowly losing its legs.
It only took 8 to 10 seconds to cut all of the Pedecent's legs.
"This sword is better than those stones" Stalane thought as she effortlessly attacked the Pedecent. She blows some air before she stopped.
Stalane once again disappeared from their sight. In a blink of an eye, she was already beside the group's leader.
"Blaze was it? Could you do some spell with fire or something?" she asked.
Blaze blinked as he was confused at what was happening. "Uhh, yes?"
"Good. Assist me, I'll try to cut its head and all you have to do is continuously attack it with fire. Don't mind me getting hit" She said as she disappeared again.
Blaze was about to do that when the head of the Pedecent has already been slashed. "What are you standing there? Go ahead and burn it! It's supposed to be your victory, right?" Stalane asked on top of the tree.
Actually, Stalane thought it will be hard to cut its head since the stones she was throwing at the Pedecent before was really ineffective. She was quite shocked how good Kerin's weapon was. That is also why, she asked Blaze for assistance for assurance but it looked like she didn't really need one.
If she knew that a weapon will make a difference the she would've just stole a weapon instead.
When Blaze and the others finished burning the Pedecent a lot of loots was dropped by it. Stalane was amazed by the sight and it really felt like she was inside of a game. She also noticed a card was present on the loots.
Stalane coughed when the others was finished collecting the loots.
"You could have the card, as a thanks for saving us. If you have anything you like from the loots, you could just ask and we will give it to you" Blaze offered.
Stalane shook her head even though she was curious about the card. "I don't need it. I only need direction. I'm quite lost"
