Chapter 126 - [126] Ashes

"No..." I found my jaw hanging, as my mind completed the rest of the sentence for me.Are you fkin kidding me?A coil of black smoke ascended into the sky like some ancient Chinese dragon, tainting the sky in a shade of ink black. And from the source the smoke was coming from, was what seemed to be world's biggest heap of camp fire. Except that camp fire was the remains and rubble of our fortress.Even without asking, I could already guess who did this. But I have to admit, never have I thought something like this would happen, and quite frankly I was not prepared..."Is everyone here?" Sioux asked, as we stood and watched the whole thing burn from a top of a hill. "Eritol, Sull1van, Ansel are dead." I let out a deep breath from my nostrils as I looked down."What about Rima? You were with her right?" Sioux asked with a worried tone."Yeah, last I saw her, she distracted Wolfjaw so I could escape..." I shook my head."Oh, well..." Sioux voice trailed off as the rest of us, just stared at the world's largest campfire burning in the distance."Oh curses!" A familiar voice came from behind. "I am glad you all made it..." Rima's voice trailed off as soon as shes the burning fortress in the distance."Those bastards." A spark of fire grew in Rima's eyes. "I knew it!" She spat to the side."I will make sure they pay 7 fold for what they did to us. And by then, those bastards will wish they never played this game..." Rima cracked her knuckles, to the point it was making everyone in a 10 meter radius uncomfortable."Anyways, no use crying over spilled milk. It's time to move on! New plan!" Rima said so cheerfully, I was afraid she lost it."But, our base is..." my voice fell short."Pft. Who needs a base, when you can have a better plan? I just hope these bastards had a painful time going through those traps.""Then...Then what do we do now?" I asked with a dire tone."Good question. I haven't really thought of it in detail, but now with our base gone..." Rima's tapped her chin and appeared to be lost in thought for a moment. "Well, in times like this when all is lost, there is only one thing left we can do." Rima's lips spread into a wide grin."That is?" Eziel asked."Grind."Q: What would you feel if you lost your most important asset in a game?
