TERRIFYING

"Roselle and Viona stay in room 16, Pearce and Drake stay in room 17 while I will stay in room 25" Lieutenant David said while he walked through the hall.

"You all should come out by 6pm so as to begin our search" Lieutenant David also said as the arrived at room 16. But before Roselle and Viona could go in, Drake hurriedly asked.

"Aren't we going out to get something to eat before the 6pm?"

Right when Lieutenant David could answer Drake's question, Pearce calmly said.

"Are you stupid? Why will you eat at a place that looks strange to you?"

'Smart kid' Lieutenant David thought while looking at Pearce and Drake who currently have an embarrassed smile on his face.

"By 6pm, I will come and get you guys to begin the search. Till then, recuperate inside your rooms" Lieutenant David said as he gave Pearce the room 17 key before walking off.

"Looks like Sir David doesn't see me on high regards anymore" Drake said with a weak smile on his face.

"Don't worry, he will in the future" Pearce consoled as he tries to open their room door with the key Lieutenant David previously gave him. As of the two girls, they have already gone into their room.

"And how did you know that?" Drake asked with a doubtful expression on his face. But what Pearce said next made him speechless.

"Just a hunch"

When Pearce open the room of their door, what entered into their range if sight were two well kept beds, a wooden table and chair at the middle of the beds and curtains which covered what seems to be a window.

"No TV?" Drake spoke as he looked around the room with a panicked expression on his face.

"What's with that look on your face?" Pearce asked while looking at him with a confused expression.

"Why isn't there a TV in this room!?"

"Is that why you look panicked?"

"Yes of cause!!"

When Pearce heard the answer Drake gave him, he calmly shut his mouth as he gently went towards one of the beds in the room, climbed it and began to meditate with his legs folded.

"What are you doing?" Drake suddenly asked him with a confused look on his face.

"What does it look like am doing?" Pearce calmly asked even if he began to feel annoyed by the 14 years old boy in from of him.

"But aren't you disturbed that there isn't any TV in this room?" Drake asked again with a confused look on his face.

This time, when Pearce heard Drake's question again, he quickly stopped meditating, sit up straight and spoke with a hinge of being annoyed in his tone.

"See look Drake, am not a bit disturbed that there isn't a TV here. But if you are, then you can go and ask the two girls if you want to exchange room with them"

"Hmm?"

When Drake heard the later part of what Pearce said, his eyes abruptly lit up as he spoke excitedly.

"That seems like a nice plan Pearce, I will go do that now" And so, Drake rushed out of the room.

'Finally, some peace of mind' Pearce thought as he sighed in relief while trying to stay in his meditative pose to begin his meditation. But right when Pearce was about to start his meditation, he heard a shrill cry.

"AAHH!!"

'Isn't that Drake's voice?' Pearce thought as he hurriedly ran out of the room. But what he saw when he went out made his face to go grim while quickly bringing out his two dark colored sabers Lieutenant David gave him while they were coming out of the Monster Slaying Regiment Training Area.

What he saw were three half human, half snake creature that had fangs coming out of there mouth, long razor sharp claws and snake eyes.

Right now, Drake is seen on the floor as he stares at the three creatures with a frightened expression.

"You all are being summoned" the creature in the lead spoke in deep and strange tone as it turned to face Pearce with a calm look on its face. But in the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Boom!!

Clang!!

"What!?" Lieutenant David exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face while staring at the skin on the creature he couldn't penetrate with his sword.

"Your struggle is futile" The creature in the lead coldly spoke while staring at Lieutenant David with a cold and extremely hideous smile on his face.

"You guys should run while I hold off these Lamias!" Lieutenant David hurriedly spoke while staring at the four teenagers in the hall.

"No Sir!, we will join you and fight them" Viona hurriedly said as she tries to bring out her strange looking pistols. But in the next moment, she got caught.

"AAH!!"

"Don't even think about it" Said one of the Lamias as it held Viona on the throat.

«Kid, run! You can't handle these guys» Pearce's replica suddenly said with a solemn look on his face.

«What do you mean by that!?» Pearce asked as quickly paused from the spell he was about to activate.

«You can't handle these guys. They are at stage 1 of Qi Fusion Rank» The replica hurriedly said as a bad feeling began to give birth in him. But in the next moment, the Lamia in the lead spoke.

"Capture them"

Swoosh!!

"AAH!!"

"Let them be!!?" Lieutenant David exclaimed while staring at the Lamias that held Roselle, Drake and Viona as killing intent began to radiate out of his body. When Pearce saw this, an idea suddenly pop up in his mind as he hurriedly asked his replica.

«Can I use your killing intent?»

«Yeah of cause you can. But what do you want… Wait, that might work!» Pearce's replica said with his eyes lit up.

As soon as he got the approval from his replica to use his killing intent, he quickly stared at the Lamias as a extremely dense killing intent gushed out of his body and enveloped the Lamias in the hall.

When the Lamias felt this killing intent that enveloped them, there body began to tremble intensely as the Lamias that held Drake, Roselle and Viona suddenly dropped them.

"You damned creatures really had the balls to show yourselfs in broad daylight" Pearce spoke in a cold and deep voice.

"Spa…. Spare…. us…. Lord" the Lamia in the lead spoke in a trembling tone with staring at Pearce with a look of terror on its hideous face. But in the next moment, an explosion rang out in the hall.

Bang!!

While staring at the headless Lamia laying lifelessly on the floor, Lieutenant David suddenly stared at Pearce with a look on disbelief on his face as a single word is currently in his mind.

'Terrifying'
