Chereads / Champion Online: Those of the Fallen / Chapter 8 - The mangled doll

Chapter 8 - The mangled doll

Holden gazed at his map trotting up a blackened mountain terrain devoid of any life. Following it upward he had to use lots of tactics to pass without any trouble.

[You are going to die at this point]

"Shut up already! I must have this doll for a reason."

[I can dispose of it you know]

"Touch and I will leave the game!" He argued.

[You are only level thirteen, Master Holden]

"But I am special here aren't I?"

[Hmmm…]

"I will take that as yes." He cheered.

A large aging rock blocked their way. He checked attacks to find he only had a few, but none of use to him.

"Can you break this rock?" He asked.

[You technically can do anything you want, Master Holden]

Something struck him causing a headache. A window popped up instantly in front of him.

[You can control anything you wish, Master Holden]

"Level 60 it is!" He said.

Licking his lips as he leveled up quickly over and over again as a green aura swirled from below pushing upwards to ignite in continuous fireworks to blow up above his head.

"Oh uhhh…I need gear upgrade?" He questioned.

[You can't fight without the proper equipment]

"You are right." He grinned.

Pressing buttons left and right he entered in looking through the inventory index. An abundance of items dropped down from the sky nearly landing on him.

[I will inform Ivor that you now have altered your level]

"Oh fuck! Will he be mad?"

[He has been waiting for you to know]

"What?!" He shouted.

"Stupid bitch!"

Gawking over the boulder he caught sight of the man he saw earlier. The man holding gold armour and fine large sword to his side.

"Fa–" Holden whispered.

He pondered how he knew the name. Although he remembered she was the one who had given him the escape item prior.

"ABSENCE TWILIGHT DRILL!" Holden shouted.

A simple swirl dark energy like a drill smashed the rock in half. He leaped over to clutch the man's wrist catching Fae and Maverick offgaurd.

"Were you listening in on us?!" Maverick growled.

"I just by chance was coming through here!" Holden yelled.

The mangled doll fell from Holden's inventory in front of the two. Fae ran inside the dungeon without the Maverick or Holden.

"Fae!" Maverick shouted.

"Wait!" Holden yelled.

Picking his item back up. The ground shook under his feet chasing Maverick inside to hear a roar shake the surroundings.

"AHHHHH!" Fae howled.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Hold still Fae!" Maverick shouted.

Holden observed his way down the stone steps into the heart of the dungeon. Fae trapped in a corner nearly stuck into the crevice.

The large winged beast had it's wings clipped at the ends. With every single movement came a cry from the creatures maw where Holden noticed a golden key in it's mouth.

"Hey, idiot!" Holden shouted.

"Don't all me that you ugly bastard!" He yelled back.

"There is a key in it's mouth!" Holden replied.

Gazing into the spot Fae was trapped intertwined with the earth of the rock itself. Maverick was shocked realizing what had happened as he gawked at the neon strings and locked attached placing her in the prison squeezing her tightly.

"Maver-ick…" Fae grunted.

"SHE WILL DIE IF YOU DO NOT ATTACK HUMAN!" The beast explained.

Holden jumped down to meet the man he saw as his enemy. Fae reached her hand out as far as she could to only to be entrapped further.

"We need to work together." Holden huffed.

"I would rather die."

"Fine then you can save her on your own." He announced.

The scythe wielding young man started to walk away. Maverick only looked back to see Fae suffering from her spot only to stomp his sword into the ground.

"I…need…help…" He muttered.

Thrusting out his new blade proudly after cheating. Maverick also readied his weapon chanting several spells as buffs. Swiftly darted toward the creature who trampled the soot of the underground terrain.

Fae wailed out in pain. Her staff had been knocked away from her in her cage. She was attempting to free her foot to shift her item toward her.

Holden equipped his hybrid Scythe extended almost nearly tall and long as Mavericks broad sword.

[This game holds a small secret, Master Holden]

"Hmm?"

[What if I told you she has a real chance of dying]

He swung his blade backwards ready to swing nervously at the thought. Peaking in the distance through the rubble with such a sorrowful expression.

"Hey, what is your name?" Holden asked.

"It doesn't matter what my name is!" He barked.

Maverick slammed into the monster echoing his attack. It gurgled out a low laugh under its breathe. The tension started to mount high on his shoulders from realizing this could damage the woman who is trapped.

[Loading…double checked…possibility 79%]

"HALF MOON EXPLOSION!" Holden screeched.

[Health is barely dented, Master Holden]

"SHRILL RESOUND!" Maverick cried out.

Striking the quadruped backward. Holden could see the health bar being hit little by little as they kept pounding their barrage of spells and supplies till almost exhausted.

"I don't think we are strong enough for it." Maverick huffed.

[The girls breathing is slowing, Master Holden]

"What are you talking about?" Holden gasped.

"Who the hell are you talking too?" Maverick argued.

"No one!"

[I would suggest god moding]

"God mode?" He whispered.

"You really must be mental!" Maverick shouted.

Slowly Maverick and the last time he had dealt with him became slightly clearer. The back of his mind making mental notes.

"Was I suppose to meet you?" He asked.

"We don't have time for this!" Maverick responded.

"You…you have a system don't you?" Holden questioned.

[Stand down right now, Master Holden]

"Even if I do it's none of your business!" He shouted.

"She might not be alive soon idiot!" Holden replied.

"What do you mean?!"

Observing the wild deformed animal charge their way they could only jump back. A simple dodge only to notched advancing away.

"If you can god mode then help me!" Holden insisted.
