Finding The Linchpin

"Hey! I'm helping. What's wrong this time?"

"Use your head for a second. What other abnormals are on the way here?"

"What do you mean? There is only the enemy and yo–oh. Ohhhh… Oups?"

Leon shrugged his shoulders, realizing his mistake. But he didn't look remorseful in the slightest.

Astaroth kicked the ground next to him, before opening his guild chat.

'All fighters in the inner wall trap zone need to retreat. I repeat. Retreat now.'

His message confused many of the players at first, but when they heard the sudden howl of monsters coming closer and closer, combined with screams of pain and terror coming from out the walls, they obeyed.

Athena, still perched up at the highest point of the tree, saw various monsters rushing out of the forest in all directions. Scanning them, she noticed all of their grades and gulped.

She hurriedly reported back to Astaroth and Phoenix.
