"See ya," They all say in unison as I make my way towards the next group of delicious prey.
Ah… It's too easy.
For the next hour, I began to converse with all of the groups whom so fell for my bait, and so just ignored as I was a child.
I didn't really mind it, though, as I figured out tons of information that I could use later.
"We're taking off again!" The raid leader yelled, and we all gathered around him like a group of moths flocking towards a fla.
Now, we were going to try and make it towards the boss room as everybody had rested up, and we pushed past the most problematic part… or so we thought.
…
"BACK UP! BACK UP! STAY BEHIND THE TREE LINE AND MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS HAVE SOBODY NEAR YOU! EVEN I WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR ASSES IF YOU GET SWARD!" The raid leader shouted, and I could already see the discontent on almost each and every face here slowly stacking.
The only ones who still favored the man were the people in the leader's group when we took a break.
SHING
I crouched behind a tall tree, holding my spear tightly against my chest before swinging around and eliminating a few slis.
We were currently being attacked by countless slis who had co from the toxic green lake… only reinforcing my theory, but I still couldn't co to a conclusion
"Where was the boss room again? Wasn't it supposed to be at the end of the cavern?" I muttered before jumping back and swinging my spear again.
It cut through two more cores, but a pile of slis quickly squished their way through the tree line and burst towards .
Tup
I used the end of the spear to quickly push away from the horde, saving the mana of the mages behind who were already exhausted.
The archers were also pretty much out of arrows, so they were fighting with their knives which didn't do much damage.
Only chunks of sli were ripped off the monsters in front of us, and it quickly regenerated, so most of the archers were forced back to the porters.
Also, the frontline was in shambles as nobody had died yet due to the natural defensive system trees, in front of us, but everybody was utterly exhausted.
"HUFF HUFF HUFF…"
And, of course, I wasn't an exception.
"Oomph,"
Suddenly, I threw up from exhaustion, causing to wobble to the side, and before any slis could reach , a swordsman picked up by the back of my shirt and threw behind the mages.
It was an incredible feat of strength that I would never be able to pull off.
Ah, it's the leader… I didn't even notice that was him… Damn, my vision is so blurry.
I managed to just catch my breath with the help of the mages in front of , but just as I was about to hop right back into battle, the leader shouted,
"RETREAT! FOLLOW !"
Everybody began to run back, but it seems the slis were expecting this as they quickly approached us from the side as we tried to run past the treeline.
Before, it was a natural fortress, but now, it was a cage threatening to keep us enclosed by the toxic slis surrounding us.
"RUN! FUCKING RUN!" The leader shouts, fighting off any slis that tried to attack us from behind, but nobody else noticed this as they were too fixed on making it past the wall of sli quickly approaching them from the side.
My heart was practically beating out of my chest from the nerves as it felt like luck was the only thing that could save us now.
Dammit. Will I make it in ti? Will I...
So many questions flooded my mind.
"HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF,"
My vision was tinted in a light blue color, and I felt a bit lightheaded as I passed the tree line.
The slis beside made a disgusting squishing sound, and their toxic nature caused the ground below them to lt instantaneously.
Though I might be immune to their toxic sli, I can't hold my breath forever as I was only previously able to escape due to crushing all of the cores.
But if the slis before combine into one mass… and I get trapped in there… No doubt about it, I'd suffocate to death.
Exposing my immunity was the least of my worries.
"HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF,"
A second wind hit like a breath of fresh air, and my legs felt as if they were lighter than a feather.
My feet slamd against the ground as I ran and ran as fast as I could, even passing a few of the swordsn in front of .
Squish
I dove out of the way, feeling the warm sli splash against my skin.
"ARGHHHHHH!" I hear a few voices scream as they are dragged into the blob of slis who just managed to form into a wall.
"RUN! FORGET THEM!" An assassin beside shouts, and regretfully, the leader leads us away from the slis, hearing the torturous screams erupt from the toxic wall.
"HELP!"
"PLEASE HELP!"
"CURSE YOU! WHY WON'T YOU HELP US!"
"YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LEADER!"
"NO WONDER I NEVER LIKED YOU!"
With their dying breaths, they cursed the leader who looked as if he was about to cry.
Being a leader is stressful but rewarding… but that's only if you manage to do a good job.
The repercussion of not doing a good job are the curses of what used to be your fellow raid mbers, who you were supposed to take care of.
I could even see the pressure weighing down on the leader.
"There's a mountain on his back," I muttered as we ran into a cave.
"HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF... HUFF... HUFF..."
Everybody collectively caught their breaths before glaring at the leader, who was being comforted by two n and a woman.
And all three of them were part of the group I saw earlier with him.
Upon feeling the adrenaline wash out of my body, I couldn't help but slightly grin… as everything was adjusting in my direction.
There were unknown variables, but sohow, they only worked to my advantage.
