176 To Order of Light City (1/2)

-Life Inn-

I'm so full that I can't even move. It's good that we do have some fun sometimes even if we don't know if our guild will be the next one to be raided. Monsters who are hiding from players are now taking arms to take back their lands. If someone as strong as the Frozen King shows up then monsters will have the courage to seek help and destroy those who they hate.

After a while, the hype has gone and the guild inn's noise started to tone down. Elou who's done eating a couple of ages ago bought news.

”Hey Scy, a large army was spotted and they're heading towards the City of Order of Light. The army is moving so slow so it would take hours to get there. The army is composed of different kinds of low level to high-level monsters and undead. So what's the plan?” Elou reported. It looks like another trouble for us. All of us are now well rested and can join the fight but we can't leave our guild here alone.

”I don't think it's just their monsters and an undead army. I'm guessing the Frozen King wants to take a larger castle and a city for his monsters. If these monsters were just decoys and the Frozen King once again shows up when we are all exhausted then I don't think we can defeat it. For now, we stay put and watch closely. Guys prepare for combat and bring what you need to last longer.” Scy ordered, sounds a good plan.

”What about the villagers and the guild?” Elou worriedly asked. There should be someone who will try to defend the guild.

”I don't think that the Frozen King would even take interest in our guild. Simple Village was destroyed because it's in the way to the Order of Light City. Also, Emily's here.” Emily? Emily's a cook. There's no way she can defeat the monsters alone if they come here.

”But she can't fight Scy. What can a cook do?” Elou's right...

”Hey Emily, I know that you want to protect your place last time but why did you hesitate to use your abilities? I'm pretty sure you have the power to protect them. Please, whatever the reason, don't let it stop you from protecting those you love. This guild is your home too.” I don't know what he's saying right now but I should try to trust him on this one.

”How did you...” Emily's expression changed. It looks like Scy knows something about her.

”Just a hunch. Use it when you need to use it. I'm pretty sure it chose you for a reason.” Scy seems to be sure of it. What ”it”?

”It's her key. You should have felt it by now. She also has weapon soul.” Bright Edge talked to me in my mind... that surprised me!

”But what key?” As I look closely, she's holding a key! Not just a small one but a large one too. Is it weird that she carries something like that?

”Don't be absurd. No one can see that key but only those who use weapon souls.” She's talking about weapons souls but I don't really don't...

”Weapon souls are those weapons like me with souls inside them.” Can you stop reading my mind?!

”Then stop asking too much...” Please just stop...

”Hey Zia, are you coming?” And now I'm the one who's not paying attention.

”Goodluck, Miss Emily. Please be careful.” I said while walking out. Most of the villagers are here inside. Our Inn is at the center of the guild so it's the safest place so far.

”You too Miss Zia. Don't forget to bring a souvenir for me.”. We're going to war... what kind of souvenir do you expect, Miss Emily.?

-East Forest, Near Elves Village-

We moved out, all of us. But somehow, this isn't the way to the city of Order of Light. We headed east. This way is really familiar... We're going deeper and deeper inside the forest. Most of us are feeling uneasy. Why are we even here? I should check those people behind me. It'll be bad if some of them get lost.

”KYAAAAAAAAAAAH!” As I turned around! A guy with long ears showed up! Oh, holy crappy crap crap! My heart won't stop beating so fast...

”Seriously?! Why do you always show up behind me?!” I blurted out... it's the elf friend of Scy...

”That's how we greet people. Anyway, why are you guys here? You even brought a lot of people.” No, this is not how you greet people! My teammates even raised their weapons in case they need to protect me.
