The Extra’s Survival: Logging into the Game Master System!

Chapter 62: [Fight in the forest!]



[Levi's POV!]

If it were Boss, she would have killed Blake without taking a single break. She would have poured all her powers and skills to make sure Blake is dead. She isn't the type to let go of grudges.

If it were Rebas or Invar, they would have fought till death. Previously we were at a disadvantage, but now that we had proper weapons and skills, I doubt Blake would have lasted for even a single minute.

But it's not them.

'Of all the people… you had to encounter Adrian, huh?' I thought as I was still hanging by the branch as Blake still has that knife on my neck. But it was fine now. At least for me.

As for Blake, he was looking at all those crows present around him. His eyes were narrowed at them, before he then looked at a distance, deeper into the forest.

A man wearing black cloak and a black feather mask was walking towards us, one step at a time.

It was impossible to make out his face as the skill of the mask interrupted our vision. Though since I already had met him before, it was fairly easy to guess who he was.

"Who are you?" One of the men spoke as he looked at Adrian. Though rather than answering him, Adrian kept walking towards Blake, one step at a time.

"Hey you bastard! I asked you a question-" as that man asked again, something growled upon him, making him fall on the ground.

"AAAAAAAA!!!!!" He then shouted in pain as his innards were torn apart. He slowly lost all his health before he could even do anything.

It was a gruesome sight that made some of them turn their head away, while others vomited out, unable to look at the sight.

We couldn't see what it was, but something ate apart that man as he slowly succumbed to death.

As we were observing the dead body of that man with a fear filled expression, the monster that attacked him slowly became visible to the naked eyes.

It was the same vamipreling monster that was attacking us before. And right now, it chewed on the dead body of that man, while the others stared at it with a deep rooted terror in their eyes.

-Whoosh!

And suddenly a branch of the tree appeared in front of Blake, catching something in its grasp, preventing it from reaching Blake. Those branches tightened up crushing whatever was in its grasp, before it too, appeared in front of us. Another vampireling.

'Why are they invisible? Is it their power or…' My eyes questioned as I looked at Adrian, wondering if he was responsible for this?

"Who are you?" A bit tense, Blake asked as he looked at Adrian, but the answer never came as Adrian slowly kept walking one step at a time towards us.

"Save me! AAAA-"

"BOSS SAVE-MMHH!! AAAAH!!!!"

"RUN!!!"

"NO!!!!"

Those men shouted as they all were slowly eaten up by those Vampire Monsters. Though what was fascinating was that those monsters died as soon as they killed those men. Which made me wonder if Adrian was able to control those monsters somehow?

'Or was he Adrian at all?'

As soon as that thought entered my mind, my heart beat rose, as I slowly started removing the grip of the branch. I would find the answers after I have confirmed my safety. Right now, running away takes priority.

"I don't know who or what you are but… die," Blake didn't panic in the slightest as he looked at Adrian before he commanded those tree branches to attack him. Though surprisingly or unsurprisingly, those branches passed right through him, making Blake narrow his eyes at that guy.

'An illusion?' I thought as I frantically tried to remove the branches from my legs. Things were getting scarier by the second.

Blake then took out an artifact from his backpack. A green coloured [Grimoire]. His eyes observed that guy for a few more seconds before he chanted,

"I command thee to protect me, and I command thee to erase my enemy!"

-Swirl!

A huge gust of wind blew creating dust all around us. It carried leaves and broken branches as it traveled around the forest and circled all around us. And then the roots and the branches of the trees all around us began rapidly moving towards that black cloaked guy.

Though…

That guy. He simply continued walking. If he was 50 meters away before, now he is barely 20 meters away. And with the same slow walking speed he kept moving towards Blake as those branches passed through him.

Blake finally had a slight bit of worry on his face, as he increased the intensity of his attacks.

-Kaw! Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!

The crows began making noise all around the forest, as they all flew in the storm in the opposite direction of the wind. While that guy in the crow mask walked closer to Blake, reaching about 10 meters away from him.

"Who are you? And what do you want from me?!" The previously calm Blake, was now enraged. All his attacks were basically useless against this guy. Though Blake's eyes hadn't given up yet.

"Nothing. I just don't like you," that guy, spoke in a voice that was familiar to us. It wasn't Adrian's voice, but the other voice that Adrian talked to us with, using that mask before.

A smile appeared on my face as I saw him pointing the gun at Blake's face before he spoke,

"So please die."

-BANG!!!

A loud bang was resounded as I saw Blake vanishing from there before appearing right behind Adrian, almost catching him. Though just like before, his hand passed through Adrian's body.

"Huh?"

And then another Adrian appeared on Blake's right, pointing a gun at Blake's forehead.

"You are fast, huh?" Adrian spoke with a bored out expression.

-Swish!!!!

A bunch of branches attacked Adrian though… they passed through him again.

'Another Illusion?' I thought as my heart almost skipped a beat thinking Blake got Adrian.

"But it's still slow," and this time from the left another illusion appeared, which shot at Blake. Blake was still fast enough, as he dashed to the front, barely dodging that shot.

However,

One more shot took place, this time without any sound. This time exactly on Blake's forehead, where he landed after the dash. And as the other illusions disappeared, the real Adrian appeared with his guns pointed at the forehead of Blake.

Blake's body looked at Adrian with a surprised look.

"I will… kill you," he spoke as he slowly lost consciousness before dying in front of us.

The forest which was filled with storms and gusts, was now dead calm. It was too creepy. Though something scarier was present in front of me…

"…uh… Adrian?" I asked as I looked at him. I still haven't confirmed if it was really Adrian or someone else.

"It's me Levi. Though, you should hurry up. There is only 30 minutes left," Adrian spoke with a calm voice, making me finally relaxed. I then nodded as I asked,"aren't you going to come as well?"

He shook his head before looking at the darker portion of the forest. His eyes were narrowed the incoming monsters at a distance before he pointed in the open area of the forest and spoke,

"Run straight in that direction. You will find a road about 2 kilometers from here. Just follow the road, and you should reach the city within 10 minutes. I have something to do here… also, don't worry about monsters. I will make sure none of them reach you."

I know he was speaking with a serious voice, though why did I feel like he was getting excited? Must be my imagination.

"All right. You too take care brother. Thank you for the help," I said as I picked up a few of my things before beginning to run away from there. I did look back at him, though he vanished right as I started running so I didn't bother again.

Following the direction which he told me, I reached the road within 5 minutes, and then from there it was a smooth sail as I reached the town gate within the next 10 minutes.

[Quest Complete!]

[+2 Skill Points!]

"So many of them completed the quest, huh?"

Looking at the number of people, it seems most of the players had completed the tutorial. Seems like it wasn't as hard as everyone was expected to be. Though on that not… where are my teammates?

"Levi! Here!" I saw Avida shouting as she waved her hand, before I reached her. Boss and Invar were also there, as they discussed their situations. Joining them, I first listened to their words before telling them what transpired on my path.

"So that bastard is dead, huh?" Boss spoke with a bit of regret before speaking," you said that Adrian was going deeper into the forest?"

Her eyes were tense as she looked at the forest beyond the gate. Though she sighed as she spoke," he shouldn't carry everything by himself all the time."

Well. It's true but… that's just how Adrian was.

We then discussed a few more things as the countdown finally reached zero. And as we wondered what we should do next, a dozen caravans appeared towards all the players. Out of the Caravan that was the most luxurious, appeared a fat man wearing a crown.

His eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. Though there was some joy and hope in them as well.

"Heroes! You have finally arrived to protect us!! Finally the Gods have listened to us!" He shouted, as he looked at us with a deep hope.

And then a system message appeared in front of us. Signifying that the next tutorial has begun.

[Tutorial Level 5 Begins!]
