"Jin, I will kill you!" ca a loud shout, reverbaring through the tunnel to reach the ears of Jin and Anna. Hearing the shout filled with bloodlust, they couldn't help but shiver.
"Already?!" shouted Jin who had just gotten halfway through the dark tunnel. He didn't know this monster's speed but he could guess that Liam would be very fast. The ti they have bought wasn't enough for them to escape.
With the remaining distance they still have, Liam should definitely be able to catch up to them. Once he catches up, everything would be for naught and it would co to an end.
He was now in a weakened state and can't execute the move from before again. Anna was a healer so her stat was also very low and can't put up a fight against Liam for even a second.
"Hidden class? Lucky bastard, getting lucky right from the start... It would be a better sacrifice anyway..." after the first part of the sentence, Liam's voice gradually beca more and more silent and in the end, it was just a murmuring sound, not loud enough for anyone to hear.
As soon as he got out he sent a death threat to Jin before standing in place in order to determine which direction Jin went.
After determining the direction, he imdiately bolted away, directly disappearing from the eye.
In the dark tunnel dimly lit by glowstones, the way back seed to be enshrouded in darkness all over and along with the deathly silence, it looked just as if the abyss was staring at them; looking at it, Jin couldn't help but shiver and turn his head with a nervous look.
Just then, the sound of boots hitting the ground ca out. It was silent at first but just in a few seconds, the sound was loud enough for them to hear clearly. With each passing ti, they couldn't help but sweat and think when would Liam co out to take their life.
Liam was the predator while Jin and Anna were his helpless preys.
"2/3- 2/3- only one third of distance left until we leave this place" Jin nervously asured where he was and how long it would take until they leave the tunnel before looking back.
At this rate, Liam would have long killed them by the ti they leave the tunnel, so Jin started thinking how he should get out of this dilemma.
'What to do... what to do...' with a dark circle covering his eyes, he was extrely tired as thoughts about how to escape flashed through his mind. He found what to do soon after. The plan was simple, it might be cruel and against the basic morals but that wasn't important now.
He had to keep himself alive first.
The next mont, he suddenly pushed Anna back. And strangely, it just happened that Liam was behind them. Anna's body hit Liam's, suddenly stopping the dashing assassin.
If not for Jin's perfect timing, Liam would've already caught and killed them.
"Eh?!" the surprised sound of Anna ca but not long after, she was caught by Liam who tossed her to the side.
The pure disbelief on her face showed how surprising the situation was.
"Sorry, I have to survive.."
Right now, his anger had increased even more and he wanted to torture Jin as soon as he caught him. However, the scene in front of him said otherwise. Jin's dropping body along with the notification reminded him that he could no longer vent his frustration.
[Your party mber Jin had died.]
"Fuck!" who knew Jin could co up with this idea in such a short amount of ti? He should've just been worrying about how to get away and escape for his life.
.....
[Your party mber Jin had died]
Outside the dark tunnel, Cylius received this notification making him wonder what happened there.
Due to the caution of getting known by Liam, he didn't enter the tunnel. And his perception couldn't enter the place too so he was completely clueless about what happened there. The thing that really puzzled him was that, even after a long ti - why didn't Anna die?
Her notification didn't co.
Did she successfully escape? Or was she captured?
Then, after a bit of waiting Liam finally got out of the place. His perception covered him as soon as he got out. It was from a different exit but as the distance wasn't much, he was able to sense his location.
Why didn't Anna die? Is she still in there or was there an accident?
People can't log out from the ga if they aren't in a city or a town, what happened?
...
Many questions appeared, confusing the situation even further.
But then, the confusion beca even more once he received the notification that said
[Your party mber Anna has left the party]
Why did she suddenly leave now? To hide from Liam in case she left?
It was all just muddy. So he didn't think about it any further. It would only waste his ti and confuse him further.
'I first have to send the location of Liam to the wolves' with this thought, he approached the Lightning Wolf that was near him and said to the wolf the location of Liam.
The wolf pack imdiately set on and didn't even take him with them before running to Liam's location. It seed that the hatred grew even more while they were chasing after him before.
No wonder two Long-eared Blue wolves and several normal Blue wolves were gone. They must've been killed by Liam.
.....
As running spent his stamina, he walked to his destination calmly and without any trouble, he got to the location they were fighting ten minutes later. And what he saw was incredulous.
The traces of the battle had spread everywhere, it looked disastrous just like the first fight between second-tiers he watched.
The trees were broken and traces of burn on the ground was evident. So trees were charred black and so seed to be cleanly cut in half. Obviously done by a sharp weapon. Not only that, blood had spread all over the place and no wolf could be seen. There were only drops of loot on the ground.
And in the middle of it all was a wolf and a human.
