47 Chapter 47: Mission E (15)
The endless fog surrounded the entire forest; wherever you looked, there was nothing but mist. You could see a few trees here and there. Checking the map again, I verified that we were heading in the right direction.
The fog in some places was as thin as air, but it could turn terribly cold. Of course, that would depend on the beast in the area; Zone 2 is much more sinister. The biggest danger is being taken by surprise.
"Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!"
The endless silence was interrupted by a cry for help. Normally, the first reaction is to run to assist, but this place is far from normal. You can't check what lies beyond your line of sight. You don't know what's happening. The cry was very human, almost the voice of a girl. Gripping the sword hilt tightly, I look in the direction of the sound.
Right in front of us, I had a strong urge to run and save a "girl," but how can she be in a place like this? It's impossible. That thing is not human at all.
"Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!"
I can't feel its presence.
"Help!" "Help!"
Another different voice.
"Help!" "Help!" "Help!"
And another one joined the plea for help. There are four voices in total, four beasts, and I can't sense any of them. This damn fog makes things difficult. They're in four directions: front, back, right, and left. We're surrounded. I can't hear their footsteps.
"Stand in the rear," I shout to Elsa. Feeling another attack coming from behind, I react quickly, performing my footwork.
Swoosh! Boom!
The force of its attack is brutal. Damn it, how can they have such strength in their arms?
"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRR!" footsteps sound from my right and left simultaneously.
Cursing, I quickly disappear from the spot.
Booooom!
The ground cracks, the fog disappears, and I can see that all four are identical to each other. Landing on the ground, I grab my sword with both hands. Looking in my direction, all four come running toward me.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time they run, the ground shakes. If you could see the ground, surely their footsteps would be visible.
"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" "ROARRRRRRRR!"
All right, bastards, come at me, I think internally. Let's have some fun.
