"A Class 2 Creature!? Is it because of its 2 Horns?" Klien muttered, gripping his weapon, "If i Fail, this results to Death, Fuck."
Everyone hearts start's to pound in their chest, building up emotions like fear, anxiety and and others are somehow excited. Gripping their weapons preparing their attacks
After a brief pause, one of the survivors accidentally stepped on a shard of glass. The sharp sound resonated through the air, reaching the ears of the creature Black Doom.
'Ah shit, we're fuck' Klien thought, gazing to the creature's eyes.
"Looks like we got caught, Everyone get ready!" Stella shouted, preparing for the upcoming attack, and thought, 'What where did it go?'
With a sudden, ferocious movement, the creature lunged toward the sharp crack of the broken glass, its senses drawn to the unmistakable noise like a predator closing in on its prey.
One of the survivor bracing for the impact, In just a second. The creature is right in front of him, opening its gigantic mouth, its sharp fangs glistened, offering a terrifying view to the survivor.
Luckily, Jack dashed towards the survivor saving him from the creature.
"What are you doing, let go from your thoughts!" Jack said while grabbing the survivor landing on the ground.
All of Jack's team rushed towards the terrifying beast, except Klien, he was analyzing the movements of the creature, and thought, 'How should i get closer from it' Thinking what he will do to get closer on that thing.
In a blink of an eye, the creature suddenly dashed forward on Jack.
Jack was shocked, 'What the, where did it go?' He thought gripping his dagger, preparing for the in coming attack.
"At your back!" Stella shouted.
The creature is striking using its claws, trying to hit Jack's head.
Jack react just in time, and quickly raised his daggers—It is color black and somehow mixed with darkish violet, this weapon holds a great amount of power.
Jack blocked the creature attack and then used his skill Mystic Strike—This skill allow Jack to strike whenever he want to, but there is downsid, when using the skill to much it will slowly absorb your energy. The dagger released a black aura around it.
Klien eye's focusing on Jack's weapon, but it was interrupted by the System.
[Survivor Jack, used the skill, Mystic Strikes]
Jack strike non-stop, targeting the creature's horns, but all that strikes only cracked one horn, its not fully cracked yet nor sliced.
Everyone witness the power Jack holds, every single strike was effective and quite brutal, the creature let a loud growl, It opens its mouth without them realizing that it is casting its skill.
"Everyone, the creature is about to cast its skill!" Klien shouted, giving everyone a warning. 'Argh, Why am i starting to tremble, am i scared? my body wont even move, Klien you need to move and help them fight, move..., move!' Klien thought, shaking and trying to snap out of it.
[The creature used the skill, Doom Orb]
Jack then take a step backwards to avoid the incoming attack.
The creature massive jaws slowly unhinged, revealing rows of jagged teeth glistering with saliva. From deep within its throat, a faint ominous glow slowly forms—swirling a mass pure of darkness. The orb's force greatly expanding and contracting as if alive, the energy of the orb grow stronger when time past, creating a weird but loud noises.
After a brief moment it was quite, the air flows softly, Everyone gazing on the mouth of the creature, witnessing its overwhelming skill, shiver runs through their spine.
The creature let a terrifying growl, and then in a second it released the orb, pointing it at Jack.
The orb barreled towards Jack like a meteor, tearing through the air with a creepy howl—Jack eyes widening, standing building up emotions like fear. 'Is this it?'
Before the orb hit Jack, but then a loud voice of one of the survivors shouted at Jack.
"Jack cut it out" he said, jumping at the creatures back, activating its skills, but it was all useless, from a brief moment, the creature brutally bite his head—separating his head from its body, blood keep coming out from the neck, flowing like a fountain. In a moment it was quite, only the sound of the blood pouring like a fountain.
They witnessed the most brutal death in their intire life, seeing one of their member screaming and shouting, sacrificing his life just to save Jack.
Everyone thrived with anger, eager to avenge their one member who was brutally killled by the merciless creature.
'Oh, Fuck what did i do!' Jack thought angrily, dodging the the orb, then it hit an impact on the ground, breaking the earth's crush, pieces of cement shattered from above.
"Everyone looked out" Stella shouted, her eyes widening running as fast as she can to avoid getting hit by the shattered cement.
'Fuck, what am i even doing, standing here watching everyone sacrificing and fighting for their lives, while me just standing here, im disappointed at my self' Klien muttered, his body was shaking uncontrollably his voice too
A large piece of cement went flying straight to Klien's head.
Klien slowly looked from behind, feeling that there's something coming toward him.
'Shit.., shit my body wont move.' he thought, forcing its body to move, accepting that this is the end of his life.
Before the cement can hit an impact Stella quickly dashed as fast as she could and perfectly sliced the cement into pieces using its sharp long blade—The blade is somehow color red mixed with white, the blade is sharp as the lions fangs.
[Survivor Stella, is using the skill, Divine Slash]
It is a skill that can slice on any object or living things in one blow, dealing tremendous damage, however this need greatly amount of stamina to slice more and more objects or living beings.
"Are you okay Klien?" Stella said walking towards him, "You need to calm down Klien"
"Im sorry Stella, its my fault for not moving." He replied his voice trembles. "Whatever is in your thoughts sna–"
Before Stella can continue her words, The creature let out a terrifying howl, opening its mouth again, pointing at them. Their eyes widen as they both gazed from it's gigantic mouth. In a moment another orb slowly forming from its mouth but its different from before, it had dark violet electric aura surrounding the orb.
Both of them can tell that it is different from before.
"What the, its bigger from before" Stella said, gripping her blade.
'Shit if i wont move now, i will be killed' Klien thought, 'Damn body move', Klien forced his body to move even if it was like a lead. In a brief moment, he finally controled his emotions and was able to move. 'System Inventory'
The System Inventory quickly appears in his front, 'The artifact i must used it even if it paralyzes my hand.' Klien quickly interact with the artifact. 'I hope this helps me kill that thing'
After interacting, a ring appeared in his hand, he quickly put it on his right pointy finger, 'What is this feelings' He thought, a great amount of energy flows in Klien's body, feeling the power of the ring Artifact.

'Aghh, i can't feel my arm, it feels like its melting.' he thought while wagging his right arm. 'Oh shit, i forgot, im not a left handed person, how can i even swung my weapon.'
"What the, whats with your right arm?" Stella said, "It looks like it had no bones, only flesh" she stare and laugh.
Stella's laugh was cut off by the growl of the creature. 'I almost forgot, that orb will be released any moment now.' Klien thought
"Stella its going to release its skill now, prepare to dodge it!" he said, looking at the mouth of the creature.
The creature finally released its skill, creating a weird electric mixed with a sound like black hole. it fire towards them with the speed of a rocket.
'This is it.' Klien thought, gripping the pip in his left hand awkwardly. "Stella! prepare to dodge it."
"Got it Klien" she replied back, her voice firm, gripping her blade preparing to dodge.
