The ROS ran into the dark night after gearing up. It was much darker than it was yesterday. Which only warned that things may become dangerous.
"Sheesh… I can barely see in this dark!"
"That's why I created this…"
"Huh—?"
Constance would pull up her hood that was attached to her suit as the outlines of her suit glowed in a bright pink.
Shaun and Rian gasped in surprise.
"That applies to us too?!"
"Of course."
Without a thought, Rian and Shaun pulled their hoods up as their suits glowed brightly in a shade of red and purple.
"Oooh— great work Constance."
Constance would nod, showing her gratitude.
"Now enough talk, we need to—"
The echoes of growling had spread across the area. Giving a sign a Chasm monster was approaching.
"Here it comes…"
Shaun mumbles.
"No worries… Just follow my lead!"
. . .
Seong would look around in desperation, her body constantly having chills roam around her like waves. She would finally open a cabinet with a little bit of too much force, causing it to swing open.
Surprised, Seong met eyes with a katana. She stared at it like it was calling out to her.
Unable to resist its look any longer, Seong grabbed the katana out of the cabinet before exiting the room.
That sky is darker than before…There's no way I'm going to watch them die.
Seong rushed out of the building, heading her way into the darkness. Not caring that she could possibly die or get injured in such a dark void.
As she ran further into the darkness, she met eyes with a large Chasm monster.
What the… it's like 10 feet tall!?
The Chasm monster turned its full body towards her as its eyes glowed fiercely.
Seong would stop as her feet slid forward a bit. She kept her stance strong as she prepared to unsheath the katana.
Seeing her into a fighting stance woken the Chasm monster's hunger as it ran towards her with its yellow glowing eyes. But the sight of its glowing eyes tipped Seong off.
Her grip on the katana slightly eased as second thoughts flowed through her mind rapidly.
Shit… its yellow eyes… it's a monster made for B and C tiers…
She thought.
Wanting to run off, Seong's eyes widened a bit. Remembering those single words.
Then allow me to prove you wrong.
…
Seong would grip her fingers onto the katana, holding it tightly so she wouldn't lose it as a slight smug formed onto her face.
As the Chasm monster was just inches away from Seong, she finally pulled the blade out of its sheath while her eyes glowed with confidence.
Seong would dash forwards, slicing its arm off as she slid past the Chasm monster.
The Chasm monster would screech in pain before using its armor that was clipped onto its other arm to bash Seong away.
Seong would clash with the Chasm monster, but because of how tall and big the Chasm was, she was pushed to the side a bit.
The monster would regenerate its arm back before sending a barrage of rapid punches down at her. Surprising Seong as she poorly blocked the barrage of punches. As the monster continued, it successfully threw a rough punch on her shoulder as the sharp spikes on its hand armor deeply cut her skin.
!!!!!!
Seong would jump away from the monster, clenching her teeth as she placed her hand gently on the wound.
Dammit.. Even a single hit from that monster is painful…?
Seong would slowly look up as her eyes would widen.
Name: ???
Species: Chasm Monster
Abilities: The Summon of Guards.
Tier: C
Weakness: The Head.
The head is the weakness—?!
The Chasm monster flashed in between her eyes before swinging its arm down at her face. Seong quickly reacts by raising the katana up to clash with the chasm monster.
The Chasm monster would soon break the clash before proceeding an uppercut at Seong.
Block. The purple aura suddenly wrote out, catching Seong's attention as time seemingly went slower.
But without hesitation, Seong would connect her hands to her head as she blocked the uppercut from the monster before sending a flurry of slashes down at the monster. Sending it off balance.
The monster would fall backwards, crashing against the ground as it sent parts of the road flying off into the air. Yet Seong would dash forward, raising the katana high up as she prepared to pierce its head.
Now I can—!
Seong would step back as a blade pierced the ground inches from where she was before.
Dammit, I was close—!
The Chasm monster would rise, but its shape and form had suddenly changed as it had the appearance of a guard.
Seong's eyes would widen in surprise. Just as she was ahead, she didn't' get enough time to read the description of the monster's abilities.
But the sight of the appearance being referenced to a guard finally hit her.
The Summon of Guards
That must be it… but summoning… could it be—
Seong would look around her surroundings, snapping away from her thoughts as she could see herself being circled by a bunch of glowing bright blue guards.
She'd stare at the guards circling around her like a dome as her slight smug returned onto her face.
Now I see what it means for summoning…
Seong would get into stance before suddenly flashing into the air. Once the guards had noticed her movement, they immediately closed the circle in. Preparing to attack her the moment she landed.
Yet Seong's smug stayed on her face as her eyes glowed with a blue aura.
[Skill Activated. Wild Card.]
Seong would suddenly disappear in a flash, while a bright blue blur had suddenly taken her place. Landing down to the side before zooming through the group of guards and even the chasm monster.
The blur would finally disappear as Seong could be seen crouching down behind the chasm monster, facing away as her face shadowed.
But as a few seconds had passed, the guards and the chasm monster would suddenly collapse onto the ground as they were sliced in half.
Seong would slowly get up, turning to stare at the corpses beginning to flare away except for the chasm monster.
But without hesitation, Seong would look down at the chasm monster before piercing the blade of the katana down at the chasm monster's head.
The Chasm monster would send out a small screech in pain, before leaning back as it became unresponsive.
Seong would inhale before finally exhaling, tilting her head up as she panted a bit.
Finally… it's over…?
Seong would slowly look to her left as the purple aura formed around her.
Successfully defeated Chasm Monster. It wrote.
Seong would smile a bit.
New Mission.
…?
. . .
A woman would be floating as she sat in a sitting position. Her long flowing blonde hair, sharp red eyes, and pale skin made her look humanly.
But her bright glowing eyes alarmed the lower tiers that she shouldn't be messed with.
[In some cases, humans themselves can be transformed into a Chasm Monster. They called it 'Chasm Manifestation'. However, the manifestation only appears in the Night.]
Yet, she stood there with a smirk on her face as the high tiered Chasm looked forward. Her eyes focused on the injured ROS, taken and laid on the ground as they bled out. But Constance was alive enough to still move.
"Tch…" Constance grunted, slowly lifting herself up.
"It's best not to move dear… you'll only repeat what you've done."
the woman chuckled.
