They looked at it with both great fear and amazent. They were like stupid moths that couldn't help but be drawn to a fla.
Every ti the thing inside's heart pulsated, they could see the cocoon slightly moving and their own hearts would skip a beat, in the most painful way possible.
"I've never had a heart attack but I imagine it would be like this." Nikolai joked clutching at his chest, in hopes of calming his racing heart down.
If they weren't in a pain of their own, they could've perhaps laughed but no one did. Not even Kiro. He was more scared than he'd ever been in-ga, what was in front them was more dangerous than anything they'd ever faced.
If push ca to shove though, Kiro admitted he'd have to use the powers that were on a couple of months cool down. Only if they'd let him though, he didn't think he had much of a choice in the matter.
He didn't know what other adverse consequences he would harbour if he'd forcefully use them, he wasn't sure whether it was worth it or that he wanted to find out. They weren't fighting for themselves here either, they were just hired rcenaries.
Kiro walked with calculated, deliberate footsteps. He wanted to end this before it even started, but he had a very strong urge to not attack. Even though they were all dreading what was inside, it still gave them a feeling that, they shouldn't attack.
The command was so strong that they were actually fighting against it. Their will wasn't quite strong enough.
Though Lyle surprised them all, he sohow managed to copy Kiro's whirlwind, it was weaker, far weaker but he was able to create a strong wind towards the cocoon. But alas, it did nothing to move it.
"Co on you guys! This is nothing, you can't tell I admire a guy who can't even attack at the mont." He bellowed, bringing them back to their senses.
It wasn't anything amazing that made him stand out from the rest, he was too much of an idiotic stubborn person. His will was almost impossible to break or sway. His idiocy helped him this ti and he was quite proud of it, the fact that he had sothing his master didn't.
"Don't get to carried away, you're still an idiot." Jorge joked, having bitten his lip which was now bleeding.
"The pressure here is definitely sothing even I, am struggling against." Kiro comnted with a half hearted chuckle.
He had an idea what the cocoon would reveal but he didn't want to admit it. He instead focused on the fact that the system wouldn't have sent normal players in here if that were the case.
But the thought kept gnawing at the back of his head, it wanted to make itself known, claw its way out of the depths of his brains. It was loud, but Kiro wanted to ignore it. He had to.
He didn't want to spend this ti afraid out of his mind, he wanted to co up with counterasures and that couldn't possibly co into fruition if his mind was in constant fear mode.
"Co out with it, what are you thinking?" Hiro asked his best friend, seeing the concern mixed with a dreaded expression on his face. He knew him enough by now to know that this face ant their odds weren't great.
At Hiro's enquiry they all looked to Kiro as they did when they wanted to enter this place, that turned out to be hell. Now they were looking to him, to hopefully get them out of the pickle they found themselves in.
"Well?" Ishaan chid in impatiently, since Kiro was quiet and not answering.
"Well nothing! I don't know either, I've never encountered this before, I have a theory you won't like though." He said his face souring, the last words felt like he was chewing on glass.
He'd deliberated with himself and decided to just tell them, the thought won at the end, he wanted a different perspective, he wanted soone to tell him he was barking mad.
"It's a harbinger isn't it?" Nikolai said, having studied Kiro's face, he couldn't imagine anything else that could scare him to this extent.
"Yes, but worse. Worse than the Queen that almost killed back then." Having a conversation like this took them everything just to string the words together. It wasn't easy.
"What the hell is a harbinger?" Lyle asked in place of Jorge, he was about the only one who had seed to have a very good resistance against the thing.
Kiro had forgotten that there were two people who weren't guardians, well, three if you counted Ishaan. He wasn't sure whether the system would like that, but he didn't really care at this point.
They were about to face their worst enemy yet, Kiro was hundred percent sure that they'd lose this one. He was ready to lose the levels, he decided against using reality warping until the cool down was up.
"It's these powerful monsters that can only be fought by guardians of Asgard. I don't know exactly how the system chooses them, or if it's entirely up to the luck of the individual but there are a few already." Kiro explained without missing a beat.
Jorge pondered at this, he wanted to soak in the information, all of it, before asking questions. He didn't want to waste his words on inane things.
"I'll assu since you know about them, you're a guardian? Then if you know, why does this scare you so much?" He was exasperated by the end of the question.
"Kiro fought two by himself so ti ago, one almost killed him, we fought one together that threatened the ga world. But neither of us felt sothing this great, this one is much worse as he said, we may not survive." Hiro explained to him sincerely.
Kiro let a light laugh slip. He didn't an to, but the optimism in Hiro's words amused him sohow. He wasn't hopeful, not at all.
Just after the conversation, the cocoon started making crackling sounds.
