Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Monster lair

Persea immediately greets Asher with a smile etched on her lips. "Welcome, Asher, I'm so glad to see you back."

Asher starts dilating his eyeballs at Persea's words. The blue fairy says the chief village is currently holding a meeting with other fairy chiefs to discuss the arrival of the orc king.

"I guess we should leave the chief alone."

"All right then, but for now we need to find Chronos' whereabouts and tell him about this."

They search for Chronos' whereabouts who turns out to be in front of Altaria village gate. However, several players seem to be gathering there and waiting for something.

"Chronos, what's going on?" Asher looked at the hundreds of players who seem to be expecting something.

"Wait a minute, you haven't checked your info column, right?"

Asher slowly checked his info column, notices a notification, and opens it.

[Event: Welcoming new players]

Deadline: October 10, 2030- November 10, 2030, at 23:59 (UTC+8)

This event is for new players who have been faithfully playing the FOS game with enthusiasm where it will give players a gold coin of 5000 gold and a step item called "Altaria's hero suit".

[Altaria's hero suit: A suit using the fairly on Altaria village to defend the predator. Increases player vitality by 50%]

How to get:

1. Players log in for 7 consecutive days.

2. Complete "The Power of Persea" mission before November 10, 2030.

"Hmm, quite an interesting reward." Asher nodded his head a few times.

"Yes, and it's quite easy to get it, right?" Chronos' eyes looked burning. "Come on, we must finish "Persea's power" mission and get the item." He pulled Asher's hands and runs outside to the next mission place.

During the journey, Persea explains the figure who has taken her power is a kind of evil spirit that possesses the body of its prey because they do not have a physical form, and it will control its prey's body like a puppet.

"So evil spirits don't have the same form, right?"

"Yes, that's right Asher and if the host has died, the spirit will look for others.

"Damn! That thing sounds like a parasite."

"Yes, exactly and we call them evil spirits." Persea suddenly stops walking and sees something shimmering a few meters in front of her. "Wait a minute, I'll go there first."

Persea quickly flies away and a few minutes later returns with something shiny in her hand.

'Persea gave you Elixir 1x, potion 2x.'

"So, how can we defeat that thing?" Chronos who is walking in front slowly turned 180 degrees toward Persea.

"You have to kill the host and use the purifying water purchased at the item shop or use the purification ability which only white mages have."

"Purify? I haven't obtained that ability at all."

Persea explained the purifying ability will not appear in the skill column if one does not encounter a dark spirit. Using purify will consume quite a lot of mana for white mage users, so users must provide many items to increase mana.

"The dark spirits are also part of the darkness that is responsible for this chaos and that takes the light from the crystals in every world in FOS."

"That sounds so horrible." Asher shakes his head hearing about it.

Persea then points to a fairly dark cave where two bull-headed monsters holding axes are standing in front of the cave's mouth. "That's it, the cave I mean."

"Damn it! Another monster?" Chronos furrowed his brow. "I can use the dash skill and kill that monster."

Persea uses her scan skill and shows the monster's data and weaknesses.

Minotaur (Lv.15)

HP: 30000/30000

Mana: 80/80

Elements: none

Weakness: magic attack, physical attack.

"Huh?" Asher widens both of his eyeballs. "Lv. 15? Damn! How can we kill that thing?"

"It's impossible if we attack the monster now." Chronos slowly lowers his sword. "This is the same as committing suicide."

"So, how do we get past that minotaur? "

Persea says that she can distract the minotaur and they can sneak in there without getting unseen.

"Relax, we fairies are famous for our agility, so I should be able to survive this minotaur." Persea tried to make her words convincing to Asher and Chronos.

"Alright, then Persea. We're counting on you." Asher smiled again which made Persea's face turn red again.

"Uh, Uh I'll go now, you guys be careful." Persea immediately runs away from them and flows toward the minotaur.

'Persea leaves the party.'

After a few minutes, the blue fairy is seen baiting the minotaur by throwing a few small pebbles at the minotaur's face, which makes the minotaur angry and immediately leaves their position.

"Ash, come on now we can sneak in." Chronos quickly pulled Asher's hand and they finally enter the cave.

The atmosphere in the cave is dark, so they use the torch given by the old man of Venus guardian to illuminate this place. A few seconds later a foul scent wafts up the deeper they walk.

"God, what the hell is this smell?" Chronos keeps his nose covered and steps through the cracked-looking streets. "This place feels like hell, Ash."

"Come on, we need to kill that monster fast."

They accelerate their footsteps through the place and after a few minutes, there is a stone door connected to somewhere. They decide to push it and see a giant black snack with purple eyes attacking some players who seem to be in a battle.

Some other players seem to start throwing various attacks, but none of the attacks seem to be able to hit the creature. The creature moves quite agilely and eats the few players alive or crushes other players until the red blood spreads on the ground.

"Chronos, we have to help them." Asher immediately runs toward the remaining players.

"Yes, Ash." Chronos immediately raises his sword and uses his dash skill quickly.

"Laser light!" The shoot of white light manages to make the huge snake close its eyes for a moment.

Several players immediately use their skills and start attacking the snake and slowly the creature's movements slow down. The few remaining black mages use their abilities simultaneously and begin to burn the snake.

"Now this is his chance." Chronos quickly used his dash skill and tried to slash at the creature, but it turns out that the snake's tail directly hit Chronos' body until he throws it away.

"Chronos!"
