Faucet. Faucet. Faucet.

A squad of 5 Destiny Knights was passing in an uncommon location. They had been surrounded by stone ruins, and the bottom was coated with tall, fluffy white grass. There have been many dewdrops on the guidelines of the grass, which had been truly right here always of the day, day and evening.

Due to the dew drops, the grass was slippery, so one improper step might result in a fall, particularly for an individual wearing heavy, large armor.

Nonetheless, they’d already run a number of kilometers, and nonetheless nobody had fallen. Marcus was working in entrance, and proper behind him was Sara, she stored nearer to him than the others.

Fosca and the opposite two Destiny Knights had been a number of meters away within the distance.

‘Hmph… Seems to be like we have to take a brief break. We have been working nonstop for half an hour now and have virtually handed a 3rd of the best way. We’re fortunate that nothing has occurred but.” Marcus internally muttered with a look at black.

Sara started to maneuver slower as she breathed closely at occasions, however in comparison with Fosca and the 2 Destiny Knights, she was stuffed with vitality. The three of them had been already drained, which was apparent from their intermittent sighs and sweaty foreheads.

Yeah, an expert athlete or marathon runner might simply run much more, however they had been sporting armor and transferring a lot quicker than any bizarre particular person might. Additionally, with every step, they needed to watch their steadiness to keep away from falling over the slippery floor.

Marcus stopped abruptly, elevating his hand up. The others did the identical as Fosca breathed a sigh of aid.

“We’ll relaxation for a couple of minutes, then proceed on our method. You possibly can have a snack if you would like, however I would not suggest it. It is best to simply drink water.” Marcus mentioned calmly, then he pointed to an enormous fallen column.

“Keep right here. It is a good place in case of emergencies. I am going to regulate the neighborhood.” Marcus uttered earlier than leaping excessive up.

In contrast to the others, he wasn’t in the slightest degree drained. His stamina was sufficient to run to the northern a part of the Darkish Mist Forest with out stopping. Nonetheless, in that case, he would lose his complete squad, which he couldn’t enable below any circumstances.

Fosca wished to ask one thing, however earlier than she might even utter a phrase, Marcus disappeared, discovering himself on one of many tallest pillars.

From right here they’d a view of many of the ruins and a number of the different areas. Nonetheless, Darkish Mist Forest was simply over the horizon, nonetheless remaining hidden from Marcus’s gaze.

‘Effectively, seems to be like right this moment’s day. Often, there’s all the time somebody combating in these ruins, regardless that we took the protected path, it is nonetheless uncommon.” Marcus internally muttered earlier than taking out his cigarettes and lighter.

Even for a Third Rank Destiny Knight, it was a ruinous behavior, a lot worse than alcohol, nevertheless, Marcus had lengthy since gotten used to it. It was an habit he was prepared to provide himself over to fully as a result of it allowed his thoughts to chill out.

As Destiny Knight Commander on the Border, he had an amazing quantity of stress, virtually day by day. Given his circumstances, only a heat bathtub within the evenings wasn’t sufficient.

“Agh? Did we simply lose our luck?” Marcus muttered, wanting on the white flashes sometimes showing behind the ruins and fallen columns.

Marcus knew this location nicely, in addition to each monster that would seem on this space.

“Lightfangs… Rattling, there are fairly a number of of them, nicely, this might be warm-up for them. It is virtually luck to fulfill them right here.” Marcus shrugged nonchalantly earlier than lighting one other cigarette.

The white flares regularly approached Sara, Fosca, and the others, attempting to fully cover their presence. Due to the ruins and white grass, the monsters managed to do it unnoticed. Solely Marcus might see them, however for now, he wasn’t going to participate within the battle.

‘Let’s examine what a superb rookie can do…’ Marcus internally muttered whereas taking a look at Fosca, ‘Rattling, to turn into a First Rank Destiny Knight at 18… Whoever promoted her is both insane or a superb instructor… or… she’s a monster.’ 

After some time, the flashes stopped, and a few creature emerged from one large stone rubble.

“Agh…? What’s that?” Fosca pointed on the small beast in shock. 

The beast had 4 quick legs, thick white fur, and two lengthy tails that swayed slowly from the occasional wind currents. It had two massive eyes with blue pupils, wanting cute and innocent. Additionally, the beast had no ears, only a tiny nostril, and a cute little mouth.

Fosca’s eyes sparkled, the creature strolling in the direction of her regarded cuter than something she had seen earlier than, her coronary heart was enchanted.

‘Hah, I wager she desires to throw to it and begin stroking it proper now…’ Marcus smirked, ‘Nonetheless, that might be a severe mistake.

Then, Lightfang turned his head, assembly Fosca’s gaze, which made her smile.

“What the hell are you doing?” Sara mentioned sternly, approaching Fosca, then she observed a Lightfang standing a number of meters in entrance of Fosca.

“What? I simply…”

Crackle.I believe it is best to check out

Earlier than Fosca might finis, talking, Sara pounced on her, knocking her to the bottom. Fosca was shocked, she did not perceive why Sara would do one thing so tough.

Nonetheless, then she realized.

Whooooooooooooosh.

On the similar second, a white flash swept over them, proper over Sara’s again, as if attempting to get to its sufferer earlier than it disappeared.

Sara and Fosca had been unhurt, after the autumn they rapidly obtained to their toes and ready to battle, or quite solely Sara. Fosca continued to lie on the bottom together with her eyes broad open, wanting on the cute animal.

Then, a Lightfang opened its mouth inside which had been solely two lengthy fangs, emitting white gentle. They had been coated in blood, recent as drops dripped from their suggestions.

“Fosca, did not you put together your self earlier than going to Falrin?!” Sara exclaimed with a fantastic frown.

Fosca did not reply something, she simply guiltily turned her head away, slowly rising from the bottom. 

“Tsk.” Sara snorted.

The 2 Destiny Knights rapidly ready for battle whereas extra Lightfangs appeared round them. They did not rush to assault, simply took up their positions, staring intently on the 4 Destiny Knights.

“Look, I am going to reprimand you later, however proper now it is best to hearken to me very fastidiously. We do not have a lot time.” Sara mentioned sternly, wanting reproachfully at Fosca.

“Positive.” Fosca nodded, she did not argue as she realized that this was her fault.

She did not have sufficient time to be taught concerning the territory outdoors of the Border earlier than happening a rescue mission, however she ought to have completed it sooner. 

She had a number of days earlier than going to Falrin. That was sufficient time to be taught concerning the places past the Border and their monsters. Not all of them, however probably the most fundamental and closest ones for certain.

Nonetheless, Fosca had ignored it and now she was almost lifeless. If it wasn’t for Sara, who knew about how harmful Lightfangs had been, the lovable little beast she was taking a look at would have torn her neck aside.

“Mrs. Sara…” Fosca mentioned respectfully, “Thanks for saving me, and… the place is Commander Marcus?”

Sara lifted her head up, wanting on the column Marcus had jumped onto earlier, however now he wasn’t there. Sara nodded barely, she knew that if Marcus went someplace, there was an necessary motive for it.

“It would not matter proper now. We now have to take care of this drawback on our personal and with out extreme wounds!” Sara mentioned confidently whereas pointing her sword at one beast, “These monsters are referred to as Lightfangs, often they’re no stronger than Champion Grade, these ones are for certain.”

As quickly as these phrases had been spoken, a assured smirk appeared on Fosca’s face.

‘Simply Champion Grade! If I exploit every thing I’ve, I can defeat a Terror Grade Monster, possibly even a number of! These cute bastards will not be an issue, I can simply take care of them!” Fosca inwardly exclaimed, pulling out the blades from her belt.

”They solely have a number of assaults, however largely you should concern their sharp lunges and tail assaults. When their tails shine brightly then it is best to instantly step apart. Do you perceive?!” Sara mentioned sternly.

“Sure. I will not allow you to down! I am certain we’ll take care of them in just some minutes!” Fosca replied confidently.

Sara nodded, “Tremendous, in that case, go forward!”

Sara ran at Lightfang, the Monster did not transfer, it was ready for the precise second to assault which got here very quickly.

Whoooooooosh.

Lightfang became a white flash, heading straight for Sara. A pair of razor-sharp claws emerged from Lightfang’s furry paws. They had been quick, however at excessive velocity, they may simply reduce by means of even thick armor, a lot much less delicate maiden pores and skin.

Sara didn’t dodge, as a substitute, she stopped abruptly, elevating a lightweight cloud of mud, then made a clean swing of her sword.

A black streak ran down Lightfang’s physique earlier than it break up in two. Leaving a path of blood, the 2 components of the monster fell to the bottom subsequent to Sara’s toes.

She simply wiped the blood off her cheek and headed ahead, on the lookout for the following goal. Whereas the Commander was away she was in cost and it was necessary for her to do no matter was essential to efficiently full the mission.
