The Gloom Wraiths became aware of their presence as the light and energy emitted by the magic cast by Verna and Liana increased. They started floating closer, ready to attack the adventurers who had entered their territory.
With tension filling the air, the adventurers waited with tense breath as the Gloom Wraith approached them. The light from Verna's light magic made these dark creatures feel uncomfortable, while Kyle's sword burned by Liana's fire magic became a deadly weapon for the Gloom Wraiths.
As the Gloom Wraiths drew closer, they began to launch their attacks. Dark energy projectiles were released from their hands, aiming directly at the adventurers.
However, Verna quickly reacted, using light magic to create a protective shield that blocked the dark attacks. Meanwhile, Kyle prepared to fight, swinging his sword with the skills he possessed as a warrior, ready to fight the enemy in front of him.
Liana didn't stay silent either. He directed fire magic towards the Gloom Wraith, creating a fireball that shot up to the ceiling and burned brightly, striking fear into the hearts of the dark creatures.
The battle began. Attack and defense alternated between the adventurers and the Gloom Wraith. The sound of the sword meeting the shadow body, the light shining brightly and the flames devouring the darkness, all created a dramatic scene in the dark dungeon passage.
The young man who was the courier stood behind them and watched the fight amazed at how great they were, especially their coordination with each other. He was amazed and deep in his heart he wanted to be one of the adventurers fighting at the front instead of just standing and hiding behind those brave adventurers.
The young mad stood at the back, mesmerized by the battle unfolding before his eyes. He looked in awe at how great the adventurers before him were, especially in their coordination and bravery in the face of danger.
He felt an adventurous spirit ignite within him, inspiring him to dare to step forward and face the challenges head-on.
In deep silence, the young man watched every move and strategy of the adventurers, stealing knowledge and courage from their every action. He knew that to be a part of such battles, he would have to train hard and develop the necessary skills.
However, right now, even though he was still standing at the back, he felt proud and grateful to have been given the opportunity to be part of this party.
Kyle, who was in the front row, firmly called out to the middle-aged man who was still at the back.
"Hey, Old Man! Stay back and cover our rear!" Kyle shouted in a loud voice, indicating for the middle-aged man to stay in a safe position at the back.
The middle-aged man, although perhaps feeling offended by the "Old Man" address, understood that he had an important role in protecting the rear from any attacks that might come from that direction. He nodded seriously, understanding that the security and safety of his party members depended on him.
While Kyle and the rest of the party remained focused on the fight ahead, the middle-aged man still at the back watched every movement around them closely. He watched for any shadows that might emerge from the darkness, ready to act quickly in case of a surprise attack.
Although he may not have as much strength as the other adventurers in the party, the middle-aged man has valuable experience and skills. He knew how important his role was in protecting the rear from enemy attacks, and he was ready to carry out his duties faithfully.
As the fight continued, the middle-aged man remained alert, never dropping his guard even in the most hectic situations. He is aware that enemy attacks can come from anywhere, and his job is to prevent them and protect his fellow adventurers.
Suddenly the figures of 'Shadow Stalkers' came from behind where shadow creatures appeared from the darkness and attacked with amazing speed. They move nimbly through the shadows, difficult to spot and avoid. Their attacks are deadly, with sharp claws capable of injuring even skilled adventurers.
At the critical moment when the 'Shadow Stalkers' started to attack from behind, the middle-aged man who was addressed as "Old Man" firmly ordered the young courier boy to stand behind him.
"Stand behind me, kid!" shouted the middle-aged man in an authoritative voice, as he prepared his weapon to face the sudden attack.
Without hesitation, the young man immediately followed the order, taking cover behind the middle-aged man. He felt protected behind that strong and experienced figure, and he was grateful to have someone who would protect him in a critical situation like this.
Slowly, the young man took out a dagger from its sheath. The dagger looked like it was starting to rust, indicating that it had been used for quite a long time without proper care. He held the dagger with trembling hands, feeling a little incredulous that he had to rely on a worn-out weapon like this in such a critical situation.
The young man thought for a moment about his financial limitations. He realized that the cost to repair or buy a new dagger was quite expensive, and he did not have enough money to do so. However, he also knew that he could not give up, and he had to use what he had to protect himself and his fellow adventurers.
In the critical situation, the middle-aged man who had been nicknamed "Old Man" quickly turned towards the two women behind him who were casting spells to attack towards the front row.
"Hey, fire one of your magic this way!" he shouted loudly, giving instructions to the two women.
The women, even though they were busy casting spells, immediately responded to the "Old Man's" command. They swiftly changed the direction of their magic, adapting it to the direction of the enemy's attack approaching from behind.
With swift movements, the magic they cast shot towards the 'Shadow Stalkers', piercing through the darkness and causing damage to the dark enemies. Light and fire shot through the air, burning and destroying any shadows that came close.
The middle-aged man felt relieved seeing the quick reactions of the two women. He knew that with the help of their magic, they had a greater chance of facing the enemy's attack successfully. With good coordination between party members, they managed to withstand the attacks of the 'Shadow Stalkers' and overcome the danger lurking from behind.
