The dark figure.

The gigantic stone like statue was standing right above us,

We are like mere ant's that can easily be squashed by one foot. 6

Everyone's complexion paled as the gigantic shadow loomed over them.

"C-clark...?"

Clark didn't answer as he stood in fear and regret.

"..."

'We can't do anything.. How are we able to destroy that thing.'

'No.. can we even damage it?'

Finn lying on dirt grass glared at the silhouette.

A window has suddenly popped out.

'Tring''Tring

Sudden message's has blocked Finn's view.

'H-How...'

"Stop.. it"

Clark was mumbling words, Holding his pale death face.

Clark's breathing was getting rougher by the seconds.

"No.."

"No.."

Not one of them have experienced this kind of phenomenon to occur.

The golem didn't move an inch.

The system must still be lowering it's difficulty for us to manage. Somehow...

'Tring' ' Tring'

It's still going.

"Just how much level does it take to defeat a single summon...?"

'Tring..'

'Tring.'

It stopped. The sounds resonating on my head has stopped but it feels like I'm still hearing it.

A new message has appeared right after.

[ Changing the scenery... ]

'The scenery?'

The earth crust shook, It was an intense shockwave.

The vicinity started to change, The trees, changed to rock stone. The field changed to a rough brown surface.

[ Current Players ]

Finn

Clark

Sam

Jimmy

( 1 vs 4 )

[ Have fun. <3 ]

It was a strange message..

Have fun..?

"Crap!"

Sam shouted in anger and confusion.

"'Have fun?', Fxxk that! They are toying with us!"

Sam couldn't articulate what he wanted to say.

*KREEK.*

Despair rapidly dye in his expression.

"Ah.. ah.. a."

The golem is active. It completely lifted his feet to take a step.

The creature swept its gaze around once, and began walking towards us.

***

'THUD!!'

Every time the Golem took a step, The whole world seemed to shake.

'THUD!'

Even when the Shikari are overwhelmed by the Golem's sheer size, That thing was gradually closing in on them.

"Mister Clark! What should we do?!"

The Sam who was cussing at the situation only a short while ago, hurriedly began running towards Clark.

"Say something, God dammit!"

Clark face were starting to form a tearful expression as if they'd start breaking down in sobs and wails very soon.

Currently they have no clue on what to do.

Jimmy is in bad condition; Sam is panicking ; Clark is frozen ; Shawn is crushed.

But Finn...

Finn was able to regain his senses. He has faced many dangerous situations like this.

Finn lifted his body, and went to Clark who was frozen stiff.

"Clark!"

Clark attention shifted towards Finn.

"Fi...Finn?"

Finn spoke as he met Clark's gaze.

"Yes it's me.. I have a plan in mind..."

A flash of light brushed past Clark's eye.

'Finn saved us last time... maybe..'

Clark regain his composure.

"Okay, Tell me!"

Finn began talking about his plan.

"The system said, It was a summoned.. So maybe... If we found the summoner."

"I see.."

Finn began speaking faster and faster.

It's because, The Golem is an inch away from them.

'THUD!!!'

"Okay Let's split up."

Finn gritted his teeth and began running towards big rocks in hoping to find the summoner, While in the mean time, Sam and Clark will distract the Golem.

The summoner must be nearby the area, The closest the summoner is, the strongest the summon.

Finn made sure to run towards the furthest corner from the frenzied Golem.

'Where is that guy?!'

Finn kept running and running. He checked every spots that he can check through.

While running, Something caught his eye.

There was a dark cave.

'His senses were alerting him again. Adrenaline rushing inside him.

'Maybe..'

Finn approached the cave, and one step inside. He felt an ominous sensation filling him up.

The mouth of the cave became a welcoming blue eye.

'It's here..'

Finn swallowed up his words several times.

Even though Finn has runned out of breath. Finn roared out loud enough to attract their attention.

" I've found It!!"

Clark and Sam who was busy distracting the golem, faced Finn who has a tired state.

"He found it.."

"Let's go!"

Sam and Clark brushed past the Golem and hurriedly went where Finn is located. The Golem faced Finn and started walking towards him.

It's a race..

'F*ck the Golem might catch up to us!'

Clark stopped and raised his staff pointing at the sky.

He then chanted while writing the runic spell.

"Meteor Fall!!"

As he screamed, Dark clouds were formed in a single vortex. Forming a giant flaming ball heading towards zero ground. More specifically, towards the Golem.

'BANG!!'

It was a direct hit.

The meteor collided with the Golem followed with a loud bang.

The Golem was in a ruined state, But slowly it was forming again.

The face of the golem emotionless until then, was now crumpled in pure rage.

Clark dispersed away in a hurry.

"Get inside the cave!"

The Golem picked up a big boulder and crushed it using it's bare hand into tiny bits.

The Golem then showed a pose of a throwing stance.

( The pose you can see in Baseball game was shown. )

Clark cried loudly while sliding for cover.

"Take Cover!!"

Rock debrises was fired in their direction like speeding bullets.

'Woosh!!'

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

Clark took cover in a rock. While Sam and Finn hurriedly went inside the cave.

'I'll leave it to you guys..'

***

Darkness is all you can see.

Finn went to his back, and took out 2 flashlight.

The abandoned mine is found in an instant with a simple flashlight.

"A mine?"

Finn heard a sword unsheathed.

Sam sword burst into flame.

"Uhm.. Sam, Let's try not wasting magic."

Finn proposed.

"Huh?! What do you know about magic?"

"No.. I'm just sayi-."

"Tsk.. You don't know anything about me.. Mind your own business."

'I wanna punch him so bad'

A bitter smile was formed in Finn's face, As he tried to ignore Sam.

Sam sighed in frustration.

"That crazy bastard, Clark. What is he thinking leaving us by ourselves. Not to mention, I gotta babysit this kid while fighting a summoner."

Sam whines.

"Hey! I'm not that weak!"

Finn had enough of Sam's attitude, He's too cocky.

"Huh?!"

'Ting'

There was a clanging sound upfront.

Sam prepared a fighting stance. The flashlight shone the narrowing tunnel.

3 Green Goblin's appeared.

"Hey Finn."

"What..?"

While keeping low to the ground, Sam put all his strength down to his legs. His target was the Goblins.

"This is how you fight."

Right then, Sam kicked the ground and exploded forward.

*Woosh*

Goblin shrieked in fear, when Sam fiercely lunges forward.

Sam unveiling bloodlust caused fear on his opponent.

*Slice!!*

The lower half of the goblin was sliced in half from the top of it's head towards the bottom.

His opponent thrust his rusty sword forward, only to be met by Sam's sword.

Both sword met with a 'clang' but Sam who was slowly overpowering the Goblin using his strength alone...

'Slash!!'

Was beheaded.

Cold sweat dripped down from Finn's forehead.

The last Goblin was trembling. It then fled.

"God dammit!!"

Sam spat out a cuss as he pursued the last goblin leaving Finn behind all by himself.

"Wa-Wait!!"

Finn ran and went to the direction where Sam went to chase the goblin.

'It's strange..'

It is dead silence and complete impartiality. It's too quiet that it almost sounds deafening.

'By now, Sam should have already killed the Goblin.'

During Finn's time spent thinking alone, He was greeted by 2 tunnel's entrances.

"What should I choose?!"

Finn feels uneasy, Whenever he gazes at the tunnels. He would feel lost, Meaning if he choose the wrong way. It would lead to more problems.

There was a sensation of fear and realization.

Finn thought.

'Even If I was there, What could I do?'

But...

Even If he is a man who apprehend death. It's not death that Finn fear, It is the fear of never beginning to live again.

"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure."

"Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing!"

Finn pulled out a small dagger. This is the only weapon he can use, without difficulty.

With a triumphant expression of pride. He walked ahead, awaiting what's behind that unveiling darkness.
