World Online

Lone Assassin's face drained of blood as he looked down with shock.

Right through his chest, a large claw could be seen, and blood seeping out.

"You are losing HP! Way too quickly!" Volcanic Python shrieked.

"I can see that." Lone Assassin nodded as he fell forward. He staggered for a few seconds, before falling straight on the ground.

His vision slowly blurred, before all he could see was black.

"Sh!t. He died." Ghostly Star cursed as he quickly looked at the wolf that was responsible for this.

"He didn't die. How did he not die? I thought that we killed the thing?" Ghostly Star cursed.

"Wait a minute. Did you pierce it through the brains? I thought everyone got the message to destroy the brains of each of these monsters at all cost!" Volcanic Python said.

"Destroy the brains? We aren't dealing with zombies here. Who is going to do that?" Ghostly Star rebuked.

"Don't shout at me. I am not the one who just came back to life." Volcanic Python shouted back.

As their discussion got heated and louder, the wolf that that no head, suddenly bent down, and its neck fused with the head, slowly returning to its prior form.

"Ah! Wind Blade!" Volcanic Python raised the staff that she was holding till now, and a green blade of wind rushed past Ghostly Star, slicing through the neck of the wolf, before it could recover completely.

The wolf's body fell to the ground once again, just like it was before.

"Die, you monster!" Volcanic Python cried as she raised her staff again. This time, another wind blade targeted the head.

Learning from her mistakes, Volcanic Python made sure to completely pierce the wolf's head.

"Awo." The wolf whined as its eyes became wide open.

"To think we lost someone to a freaking wolf. One wolf was able to take one of out, even after we defeated the thing." Ghostly Star sighed.

"What is wrong with these things we are facing? They are basically zombies. This is way too frightening." Volcanic Python shuddered.

"We need to move. Take whatever Lone Assassin dropped. We can give it to him later. First, we need to tell everyone what just happened. We need to find the rest of the groups. We can't afford to let this happen to someone else." Ghostly Star said.

Volcanic Python nodded as she bent forward near where Lone Assassin just died, and took the daggers that dropped. There were a few silver coins on the ground as well, which she took.

"He really is quite rich. To think that he has a few silver coins lying around to carry." Volcanic Python said.

"Now is not the time to think about that. Let us get moving. Stay behind me at all times. At least, even if someone attacks me, I can take the attack head on." Ghostly Star said.

"Whatever you say. I don't care enough. All I want to do right now is get the hell out of here. Lone Assassin is lucky. This place is creeping the hell out of me." Volcanic Python shuddered.

"I thought that girls liked the idea of pink surrounding them? I thought that you would love this." Ghostly Star chuckled.

"Don't joke about this." Volcanic Python was clearly flustered. She just shuddered as she looked around once more.

There was no telling where the enemy could come from. She had to be ready, especially since she was a mage.

​ "Get atleast once spell ready. I need someone to have the fire power, and we lost one person already." Ghostly Star reminded her.

They kept walking forward with a snail's pace.

"Do you know where you are going? How are we sure this is the right way? We could be walking right into a trap." Volcanic Python said.

"Is this all you know? Thinking of all the worst possible things that can happen? Let us say that I indeed do not know where I am going. What can you do about it right now? Do you know the right direction?" Ghostly Star shook his head.

"At the least, I know that I am doing something. Instead of just standing there, doing nothing, I am walking around, trying to achieve at least something." He said.

"Fine. Why do you have to get so defensive?" Volcanic Python said, shaking her head.

"Sometimes, you act like such a Karen. I don't know why I even grind with you." Ghostly Star shook his head.

"Let us just move. Don't talk. It is best to stay quiet, or monsters will know where we are." He said.

"Who knows? Maybe they already know where we are. Maybe they can even see through the pink mist."

"Shh"

Ghostly Star suddenly looked to the side.

Slowly, he started walking to his right. His shield was ready, and he was trying to make as little noise as he could.

If he was walking at a snail's pace before, then the pace he was walking right now was slower than an ant.

Each step he took was met with a glance to the right and the back.

Volcanic Python shook her head, rolling her eyes with disbelief, but she kept quiet. Her staff was glowing with a green halo, as if telling her that the spell that she wanted was ready to deploy.

At the first glance of an enemy, she was going to go all berserk.

"The pink mist. It feels like it became thinner." Ghosty Star whispered.

He kept walking. And as he did, he felt like he could see further into the mist. Slowly, the world around him was opening up.

"Did someone manage to take care of the enemy? Did someone defeat the enemy?" Volcanic Python asked, her face brightening up a little.

"Worse." Ghostly Star's face turned ghostly.

"We came the wrong way, and we are clearly in the wrong place. Wherever this is, we aren't supposed to be here." Ghostly Star shuddered as he looked down at the large gorge that stood in front of him.

Except, he couldn't see any land. All he could see were heads. And none of them human.
