Chapter 88 Flame of Life (4)
“Why is it so dark in here? It wasn’t like this before…”
The leader of the Sungwoong clan, Baek, frowned as he looked around the forest covered in gray mist
The mist which had set in once they stepped into the forest, was beco thicker and thicker as they proceed deeper into the woods, and now he could only see three meters ahead of hie, they et if they could not secure a clear view
And strangely enough, it wasn’t just their sight that was being disturbed by this mist He felt like his sense of s blurred by it
If the target were to aht now, they wouldn’t stand a chance
“This is not going to work Guys, gather around!”
Baek thus decided to gather up his clan oing to create a gap in their encirclement, but their safety was athered at his order
“Wait, where did the others go?”
But there were only 31 players gathered around hiinal number was around 60, almost half of theclan members looked around the forest with anxiousness
The gloo voices, all of these weretheir palms sweaty
A sense of uneasiness filled their ht cease to exist just like the ones that weren’t there
Their instincts arning theet out of that forest as soon as possible
The players glanced at each other
“Hey, captain…? I think we should consider backing out…”
But the moment one of them stepped up and tried to persuade their leader,
“I, is that you, Baek?”
Suddenly, so out loud
Surprised by the sudden appearance, the players instinctively brought their hands to their swords, but their eyes were filled with surprise when they saw the face of the person who had just appeared
It was the vice-leader of Behemoth
Unlike the confident look he had when his clan first went into the forest, his face was now deadly-pale upon return
“Why are you guys here…? N, no, we don’t have tiet out of here! Quickly!”
Glancing over his shoulder, the vice-leader urged Baek to leave this place
It looked like he was being chased by someone
“Okay, calm down and take a deep breath We can’t just abort thethe reason You have to tell hosts… They are c, co to rip our bodies apart… and kill us all …! Quickly, we have to run away!”
But Baek creased his brows as he couldn’t understand his gibberish
“Ghosts? You mean monsters like Wraiths or Banshees?”
“N, no, they were different… fuck, just get out of my way! This is not the time to chat…!”
The vice-leader then shook Baek’s hand away and tried to run away
However, before Baek could even try to stop hi frozen in place
Baek then looked around and saw that his other clanin fear
He realized that theirto him
‘Back?’
But when Baek turned around, he saw the opening jaws of a giant beast
And before he could do anything,
Crunch
The giant beast chomped at Baek and the vice-leader
Their lower body fell helplessly onto the ground
“Uwaaak!”
“The ghost is here!”
The reht of the est players in their group
A antic body and bestial jaws
The Spirit Familiar, Ka, roared towards the sky
Kwuuuh!
The entire forest shook with the reat round as they lost their will to fight, hoping the nore them
But contrary to their hopes, Ka dashed towards the next prey, producing an earthshaking ru
Tsss
So doards while floating in the air
Kikikik!
The spirit of the Witch Doctor, Boo, was floating about, letting out an eerie laughter while overseeing the forest from the skies
The noise he hter, and at the sa the gray hter, though he was already dead But that was just how fun he thought the current situation was
Every ti his hand in the air, a new batch of thick mist rose in the forest
And the humans that walked into his mist reacted in one way or another
They either shrank in fear, losing their will to continue forward, or they started screa in order to overcoray mist he had spread around the forest had a very special feature It could dull the players’ senses, and not only did it interfere with their sights, but it could also induce confusion
Although the debuff was roups as it could affect many players at once and mess with their cooperation
Theplayers’ unaware of their own position and even of the ones standing right next to them
The lack of vision in addition to the distant screa that they were left alone in the forest ier
Such fear then slowly ate away at their wills, and in the end, theirthis whole process fro at them
‘How dare you weak humans come to kill my master?’
It was nonsense
For Boo, Yeon-as someone who had to be treated like a God
No, he was a God to hi in the liranted hireat power
Froained his ‘sentience’, Boo vowed absolute loyalty to Yeon-woo
