Chapter 8


 

While the MVP were advancing towards the chosen successor of the 12 guardians and while the group of 5 were traveling towards the next town Payon to find the next successor, something is happening at their destination Payon.

“Looked out” a sniper shouted as she shot an arrow at a zombie advancing on a nearby archer. The shot hit the zombie squarely on the head and the corpse fall to the ground, dark blood oozing out from the wound.

“Are you okay?” the sniper asked as she approached the archer and held out her hand to help the archer up.

“Thanks Miss” the archer said.

“Called me Vamp” Vamp replied as she helped the archer up but what are you doing out here of all places?” Vamp asked.

“I am suppose to collect something from the cave when that zombie attacked me but anyway I am save now thanks again” the young archer answered as he smiled at Vamp.

Vamp looked at the archer and begins to cry.

“What is wrong jie jie?” the archer asked as he looked questioning at the crying Vamp.

“Its nothing” Vamp said as she wiped away her tears “Its just that I use to have a younger brother your age when he die in an attacked in a nearby village” she replied as tears begin to flow down her face again. She patted the young archer on his head and went off.

A large chrisom falcon flew down and landed on her shoulder as she walk away from the “Zombie Cave”. She went back to her house and shut the door, as memories of her younger brother begin to flow through her head.

“Max” she whispered as she picked up a photo of her brother, tears once again wailing up in her eyes.

“Be brave, chosen one” a voice rang through the house.

“Whose there” Vamp looked up immediately managing to avoid an incoming arrow. She picked up her bow and position an arrow only to find the direction of the attack to be empty.

She scanned the room keeping her bow and arrow intact when another arrow shot at her. She dodged the shot and let fly her arrow in the direction of the attack only to hit a sliver falcon.

She took out another arrow from her arrow container and placed it on her bow, ready to fire the shot at any sudden movement.

“Relax” rang the voice again as the sliver falcon took off into the air once again and this time Vamp found herself face to face with another sniper in a dark room that of which the first three chosen successor had experienced before.

“Who are you?” she asked not relaxing her grip on her arrow.

“I want to test your ability therefore give me everything you have got” the sniper challenge Vamp.

The sniper let fly a volley of arrow at Vamp piercing her simultaneously while Vamp try to perform a dodging skill. Her falcon tried to help her block out the arrow by building a gust of wind to blow the arrow off course however the speed of the arrow was too fast and her falcon could only send a few arrows off course.

Vamp finally manage to perform her dodging skill, Wind walk which make her move as fast as the wind dodging the arrows and at the same time sending volleys of arrow towards the sniper but to no avail. Every single arrow of hers was blown off course by the enemy sliver falcon.

The snipers took out another arrow and place it on her bow and begin chanting an incantation while the tip of the arrow begins to glow. Vamp noticing what was happening took the chance to shoot arrow into the skies, while her falcon battle out with the enemy sliver falcon.

“Sliver Sphere” the sniper shouted as she released the arrow and the arrow charge towards Vamp like a giant beam if light shinning in her direction. When suddenly, a volley of arrow shot down from the sky breaking the beam attack with every hit of an arrow such that when it reaches Vamp, the arrow drop to the ground harmlessly.

Vamp readied another attacked when the sniper put away her bow and approached Vamp. Vamp confused at what was happening found the whole thing suspicious and hence decided not to relax her grasp on her bow.

“Well done” the sniper congratulate Vamp “No one had ever block the damage from my sliver sphere not even a paladin but you manage it, you are indeed worthy of my successor” the sniper congratulate Vamp.

“Huh?” was all Vamp could mutter “Whats going on and what do you mean I am your successor and who the hell are you?” Vamp asked.

“Ops, I forgot to introduce myself” the sniper smiled. “I am Wind, one of the guardian of god Volcanon”

“You are what?” Vamp asked unable to believe in what she had just heard.

“Lets talk this over” Wind said before settling herself down on the dark floor. “I am one of the guardian of the god Volcanon who was imprison by the God of monster Fenris. Your mission is to team up with the other successor to release Volcanon from Fenris.” She explained.

After a series of explanation,

“Ops, I better be off and one more thing, don’t approach any stranger and be strong.” Wind winked at Vamp and vanished returning Vamp to her room.

Once again Vamp like the others suffered from serious effect of the battle. “Am I dreaming?”.
