New Life Online 128 Off To Somewhere

I closed my eyes before I get hit by her attack and accepted my bitter end.

*CLAAAAANG!* A sound of metals colliding made my ear numb for a bit. Did I turn into metal or something to sound like that?

"Ugh!" As I look at what happened, it was Pie! He defended me from the girl's attack!

Her sword cut only the upper part of the shield because of the th.o.r.n.y features of his shield. The girl backed off but I think that that's not the end of her attack!

"SPIKY SHIELD!" The thorns turned into spears and were shot towards her!

*CLAAAAANG!* In just one swing of her sword, she was able to deflect the spears! This girl's physical strength is really in a different level from us.

*SWOOOOSH!* So fast! The girl rushed towards him instead of me! We have to do something or we will all get killed here!

"Guys let's try to cooperate. Let's try to help Pie!" I know this is kind of suicide but if we try to escape, some of us might get killed and we can't afford that.

"I can't summon undead in this area because it's too bright in here! I will try to heal you guys instead!" Uri went back to heal Pie after taking damage from the blow earlier, but I think it's not really enough.

"I can't find any weakness either! I'll try something then!" Pie is waiting for her to come before he uses another attack!

*BAAAAAAM!* Another attack from Maisie!

Upon checking what happened, the shield broke and he's bleeding badly!

"Here comes another one!" She is preparing to attack Pie again!

*CLAAAANG!* A polearm blocked her attack! Pie can't only defend using his shield but also his heavy weapon! While blocking her attack...

"CHERRY BOMB!" It was Ch.e.l.ly! She was already in mid-air and ready to launch her Warhammer Slam attack towards the girl! Her hammer is on Fire!

"..." A powerful shock wave was released from the girl's aura and knocked us back away! I really thought that Ch.e.l.ly's attack could reach her! But wait! She's still going for the hit!

*BAAAAAAAM!* She successfully parried Ch.e.l.ly's attack but there is no explosion happened?!

"What happened to my bomb?" Oh c.r.a.p! The girl is ready to unleash another powerful attack! I have to do something!

*SWOOOOSH!* I threw a knife at her to divert her attention!

Legs! Go fast! Faster... Faster! Eh... What happened?!

"Ugh!" I fell down! Not now! My legs are not listening to me!

"Ch.e.l.ly!" I shouted. Are we all really going to get killed here!

As I looked at my back, all of them started to transform into their monster souls form to survive. I wish I also have one of those!

It was too late for them to save her! They rushed as soon as they can, I still can't stand up... We were losing hope...

"Sis?! Is that you?!" What?! Wait, she stopped her attack.

It was Leion. Ch.e.l.ly fell down from getting too nervous.

"... ... ..." She made a hand signal to Leion. I think that is some kind of sign language.

"Jeez, these are my guildmates. You should not just attack anyone..." Is that girl really her sister? And why is she using hand signals?

"... ... ..." She once again signals something.

"My sister said that this is her territory and no one enters her territory. Hmmmm and what? Oh, and she says this is her territory... Sis! I already told them that, you don't have to... ok ok..." I think this girl is really stubborn...

"She said you have to leave the place while she's not in the mood to kill anyone. What? Including me? Just give me a break sis, it's been a long time since... ok ok don't make that cursing hand gestures at me..." I think they're close...

"I have to tell big bro about this and get ready to have a scolding of your life. Let's go guys." He said but I can't still get up... why is this happening now?

"Hey, are you ok?" Ch.e.l.ly asked me.

"Yes, can you help me get up? For some reason, my feet are getting numb, maybe because of this cold." I reasoned out.

"Ok, here you go." Uri also helped me up.

I can now once again feel my legs. Woooh! That scared me a little bit.

"Thanks." I stood up. Just what the heck happened to me at that time?

"Hey Zia, I'm Selene and part of Team Elou. I saw you earlier entered this area but I forgot to warn you about that girl. She also attacked me a couple of times and almost killed me too." True that.

"It's alright. None of us got killed and we are all alive. Thanks to Leion. I still can't believe that she's his sister though. The difference in their heights baffles me." I said trying to start a joke.

"Yeah, see you later." Did I just say something bad? She's friendly but for some reason, I feel that she is trying to avoid contact that much but also trying to have friends.

"Let's head back now. I'm pretty sure that if those raiders move that way, they were most likely got killed by her but from the looks of the corpses of that area, it seems most of them were just wolves and some Yetis." Pie suggested. Uri is healing him now so I guess he's doing ok.

"Yeah, I haven't seen any other signs of the undead. If undead monsters really are that smart then it will be a hard investigation for us."

After traveling again for a couple of minutes, we arrived in the guild hall.

-Scy's Guild-

"I heard there are some encounters earlier with Maisie? I know that this would happen but I forgot to tell you about her. I'm sorry." Scy started talking. And no you're not! I'm pretty sure it was some kind of test again!

"What's with that look guys? You don't believe your guild leader?" n.o.body does.

"I also heard that Maisie is Leion's sister and probably no one believes that but I believe him because I can tell when people lie." And once again with our doubtful looks.

"So have you heard anything about your sister?" Scy asked.

"She said, she was offline when the raid happened because of "she can't tell the reason" and also just to be clear here guys. My sister is not mute but she has a motto in life. "You won't learn when you talk, listen instead." Well if you ask me, she is following that thought too much." That's really... something.

"Ok so far, most of your reports mentioned that the attackers were undead monsters' group and only six of them too. These monsters can't just raid a village with this little group so maybe they are really powerful. Those who defended the village are also level 200 and up and that means even if we helped them that night, we also might have been killed by them. For tonight's mission, we have to patrol the other parts of the Icy fields and make sure that we can get more information about them. Is that Ok with you?" Of course, we can't say no to him... even if we encounter something like that girl again.

"So if there are no more questions, you have free time till night time and you can do whatever you want to do. Just don't litter around the guild hall or you'll get a reward. A smack in the head." And now for our free time, I guess hunting would be really a good Idea.

"Hey guys, do you guys want to hunt some monsters?" I asked as their leader.

"Yeah, sure. I heard there are some Elves nearby and they are strong. How about them as our prey for today?" Ch.e.l.ly... I think that's not good...

"Oh, I forgot. Please don't attack elves because we are part of their alliance." Scy announced.

"What?! Aren't they supposed to be monsters? Why are we going to have an alliance with them?" I heard several voices within some groups.

"Well, this land is theirs and they also helped me from time to time. Also, for us, they are not just monsters or creatures but they are also friends who know what the difference between right and wrong. Just don't attack them." So that's it and why doesn't he give them their badges yet though? Does that mean they are not full members yet? So far, we have to decide first where to go.

"I heard that if we continue far north of here, we can reach the Rocky Mountains where we can find the Hearth Fire guild. They haven't opened the place for visitors yet and only guild members are allowed. There are high-level monsters to hunt on some caves there." Uri suggested. Isn't it a bit far?

"Well, it's too early for us I think? And our time isn't enough to..."

"Let's go then!" Ch.e.l.ly... just let me finish talking.

So we started our adventure... We have to do something about our teamwork first before going somewhere dangerous...
