World Online-Chapter 248 The Pink Mist Disappears

Jake paused for a moment.

"What are you looking at? it is best if we keep moving. We have to find the rest of the army." Phoenix called out.

"One second." He said as he raised his hand, looking at the mist around him.

"The mist. It is slowly thinning out."

Phoenix also stopped and looked around.

"Yes.. that's true. Are the monsters finally making a move or something?" She wondered out loud.

"No. The monsters that are responsible for the mist, they are way too weak to try and retaliate or anything. My guess is, this mist was just a cover for the army there to enter without a problem. And now, someone took care of those monsters." Jake said.

"Who? Lone Wolf? Or perhaps Lucius? But both of them were on the other end of the army." She said.

"Well, maybe it is one of mine." Jake smiled.

As he was saying this, the mist got thinner and thinner. He could see more and more silhouettes around now.

With the thinning, he could actually see people around him.

"The mist is slowly vanishing. Soon enough, it will disappear completely. We should try walking toward the people. The are probably out own men." Jake said.

"Yeah. I know." Phoenix nodded.

Jake nodded at Ghostly Star and Volcanic Python and then took the lead, picking up the pace. Now, with the mist vanishing slightly, he didn't have to stay so close to each other. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

"Wow. I am surprised. Whoever it is, they must have found a motherlode of these monsters. Killing one will only thin the mist a little bit. Whoever is responsible for this managed to kill quite a few." Jake thought to himself.

"Is it Kierch? Or Myriad Arrows? Only these two are capable of this output. Maybe they are even together? Well, I guess I will have to ask them what happened after we all convene sooner or later." Jake wondered.

As he was lost in thought, he could see silhouettes get darker and closer.

"Looks like everyone is trying to find each other. To think that they would just walk so aimlessly like thi-"

Clang!

Jake felt a shiver throughout his body, and he raised his sword immediately. As he did, he was pushed back a few steps.

Looking forward, he could see a humanoid monster very much similar to the one that Jake faced an hour ago.

It was also the same monster that made up the army that the four here just saw before.

"This thing." Jake shook his head as he moved to the side. The monster's strength was nothing to scoff at, and he didn't want to enter a match of strength with it.

Not now. For now, with the pink mist disappearing, it was better if he focussed on gathering everyone together.

They were all deep within the forest right now. The best course of action was to walk toward the road that they all used at the beginning.

"Damn this. Stop being so irritating." Jake cursed as he slid down, avoiding the rusty sword that the monster used.

He slid beneath the monster, and his sword cut the tendons of the monster's legs, forcing it to fall onto its knees.

Now behind the monster, he used a swift motion to try to hack its head into two pieces.

The sword of misery hit the skull of the monster, but only went in a foot inside, before it stopped, stuck.

Jake tried yanking the sword out, but it wouldn't budge.

"Sh!t." Jake cursed as he left the sword and retreated a step back before the monster could hack at him.

The monster turned slowly, trying to stand on its severed legs. It stumbled, but it acted perfectly like a zombie, walking like a staggering drunkard, with its face perfectly resembling one.

"Enemy…." It said with a hoarse voice that felt almost monotonous, like that of a twenty first century robot.

But before it could reach Jake, it fell on its knees again, and slowly, fell onto the ground.

The body pixelated, and the sword that was stuck on its head was released, falling onto the ground.

"Wow. It can survive an attack like that? Next time, I should use a proper skill to wedge the sword in." Jake made a note as he bent down to pick up the sword.

"We will have to move fast. I don't know if the others will be able to take care of these monsters. We saw there were thousands of them in the ravine." Jake reminded them.

"If the others didn't face them, then they will face them soon enough. We should not rest even if the pink mist is gone." He said as he picked up the pace.

"These monsters, they have the strength of a tier two player. One attack is enough to deal significant damage to someone. If one is not carefully then he will lose his life." Jake said.

His sword glinted as he put it away, trying to pick up his pace even more. At this point, he was almost jogging.

"Calm down. You are not the only tier two player right now. We have a lot of them. Don't forget, your guild has the least number of tier two players." Phoenix said haughtily.

"That is not the problem. The problem is, we are not together. If they pick off the tier one players, and most importantly, if they take care of the supporting players, then we are screwed." Jake said.

"We need to get into formation once again. I made a mistake. We should have maintained formation. I shouldn't have strayed. The entire army on the right slowly disbanded because of that." Jake said, shaking his head and sighing.

"You are thinking about it too much." Phoenix said, shaking her head.

"Let us just hope we did not face any big casualties." Jake said.
