Not long after, the awaited supernaturals arrived. They came out from behind the darkness with pale skin and long limbs. It pounced on the four teenagers with hunger glints in their ferocious eyes.
"AAAAAAAAA!!!"
Amia shouted with a face full of terror. Her whole body became stiff and she could no longer move her hands.
Vyra was suddenly in front of her with a short sword in her hand. She swung her sword with only one hand.
The Wendigo leaped through the air with its claws outstretched. But Vyra's blade swung reflecting the moonlight and sliced through the wendigo like knife cutting butter.
Pale flesh with blackish blood fell not far from them with a disgusting sound. Amia stared with eyes full of horror while Vyra swung her sword lightly to dispel the dark blood of the wendigo.
"The fun is just beginning!" cried Vyra.
Now Rainn knew that Vyra had a crazy side of her own. But another Wendigo came out from behind Nicois. Rainn couldn't move as fast as Vyra but his body stats had been increased. He still managed to run in front of Nicois and slashed at the wendigo with his black new sword.
Rainn frowned at this supernatural that feels weak. Was it because his body stats had increased?
"AAA!" Amia's scream was heard again.
Rainn turned and saw three wendigos charging toward Amia and Vyra. But strangely, Vyra didn't look worried.
'What the fuck is wrong with her?' Rainn thought while looking at Vyra who was grinning.
Vyra moved at a speed that was hard to see. All Rainn could see were waves of wind behind Vyra's body as she moved.
'Did she use wind magic to move faster?' thought Rain. That seems to make sense.
"RAINN!"
Rainn turned his head after hearing Nicois' scream. Their condition turned out to be no better than Vyra and Amia's. Three wendigos were also charging toward them.
Rainn gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands. But he realized that he couldn't move as fast as Vyra so Rainn chose to use his skill.
[ Skill activated: Pyrokinesis (Lv.3) ]
Rainn stepped in front of Nicois. One hand stretched out in another direction while the other held the sword. Then from Rainn's free hand, a fireball shot towards the wendigo.
The fireball hit the wendigo until it was sent flying backward again. Meanwhile, Rainn moved to slash a wendigo in front of him.
The Wendigo couldn't dodge and Rainn separated his head from his body easily.
Now there's only one wendigo left. Rainn immediately rushed towards it without a second thought. This Wendigo can barely dodge. Rainn needed two swings until he finally managed to kill the wendigo with the same treatment as the previous one. After that Rainn spread his eyes around to look for another wendigo that might come. But nothing. For now, at least.
Rainn found Vyra staring at him with an impressed smile. Rainn shook his head. That girl is crazy.
"You're great!" Praise Nicois next to him. Rainn, who was not used to receiving compliments, was silent.
"I told you with your presence, this will all be easy," said Vyra, still accompanied by that smile.
"We'd better get over this," Rainn replied.
"Why?" asked Vyra.
Rainn looked at her in disbelief. "What do you mean 'why'? Nicois and Amia are civilians who were almost attacked by the supernatural!"
"But they're fine," then Vyra turned to Amia. "Right?"
Amia's face is very pale. "I-I think we can go back now."
Vyra's eyes widened seeing Amia's condition. "Oh my god!" Vyra grabbed Amia's shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Rainn also saw Nicois who was not much different from Amia. He gripped the gun with both hands without being able to lift it. It was as if the gun was a heavy burden in his hand.
"Vyra," Rainn called. "We have to go."
Rainn hoped that she would end this stupidity. What she thought was entertainment because she had been doing it since childhood would not be considered so by others who had never experienced things like this. Just like when he first went on a hunting mission. Supernatural creatures are terrible things and that will not change.
Even though with his current strength Rainn felt that the wendigos that attacked them were indeed weak, Amia and Nicois didn't look it that way.
Vyra who saw the state of Amia and Nicois bit her lip.
"Okay," said Vyra. "We're going back to camp now."
Amia and Nicois breathed a sigh of relief. Then they walked briskly following Vyra in the lead while Rainn stayed behind and kept things under control.
But along the way, the wendigos still kept coming in groups and attacking them from all directions.
Nicois fired his gun several times. Maybe because the flee or fight reflex is triggered in this situation. Even though Rainn thought that they would survive because the supernatural that attacked them was weak, but Amia and Nicois maybe didn't think so. They think that now their lives are in danger.
Rainn and Vyra killed the wendigos that came from all directions. Vyra's wind magic was indeed so powerful that she could blow away three wendigos in one fell swoop and make her move swiftly.
Meanwhile, Rainn used his increased speed and [Pyrokinesis] skill to fight them.
Suddenly an escaped wendigo lunged at Amia. Rainn who realized that immediately tried to use his skill. But a surprising thing happened.
The wendigo's body was hit by an invisible slash as it drew near to Amia. The slash cut off one of his arms and made the wendigo stop in shock. Only Rainn saw it all.
[ Skill activated: Lightning Bolt (Lv.3) ]
A streak of lightning shot towards the wendigo which attacked Amia and blew it away. The wendigo was thrashing on the ground with a body wrapped in a stream of lightning. Then he stopped.
Amia stared in shock. Vyra drew closer to her after killing a few more wendigos.
"Are you alright?" asked Vyra.
Amia nodded quickly. "H-Hmm."
Vyra, who was getting worried seeing her friend's condition, pulled Amia faster.
"Let's go!" cried Vyra.
Rainn and Nicois soon followed her.
Soon they were out of the forest area and back into the clearing. Their bonfire was dead. Rainn looked back and didn't see any wendigos still following them. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The four teenagers returned to the camp area. Amia and Nicois immediately fell on their respective tent mats with shocked faces. Vyra looked at the two of them with a clear look of concern on her face.
"I told you this wasn't a good idea," Rainn snarled.
"I just want to give them an awesome experience," replied Vyra.
"By exposing them to danger?"
Vyra didn't answer. She just curled her lower lip.
Rainn shook his head and sat down on a folding chair. The black sword rested on his knee and was ready to be picked up quickly if the situation required it.
What Vyra did next was to enter the tent and hug Amia who started to cry. Rainn didn't want to hug Nicois and comfort him even though he was crying.
Night fell and Rainn still had to prepare to stop the demon summoning ritual. It's going to be a long night for him.
