"Come up quickly!" Ian urged while squatting on the edge of the hole.
Needless to say, Ruby grabbed the rope with one hand, held a torch in his other hand, pinched the rope with his feet, and climbed up with everything he had. Suddenly, a gust of wind came out of nowhere. The torch's flame fluttered slightly, seemingly extinguished.
Ruby was panic-stricken and couldn't help but to look around. In the surrounding darkness, it seemed that the monster would suddenly leap out.
He thought of the terrible scene of Luna's death; his throat weltered slightly. He didn't dare to wait any longer, tugging the rope with one hand and climbing quickly.
When he climbed halfway, suddenly there was a whoosh sound.
Ruby's pupil shrank, looking at an arrow coming from above the hole with dismay. The arrow scraped the torch; the air flow made the flame erratic. With a clang sound, the arrow seemed to hit a metal.
