Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

The cold wind brushed past my face. The eerie feeling continues to give me an ominous vibe. I came here to train myself. But the condition here is overwhelming me. The appearance of the worm is not okay at all.

"Zack, stay close to me. Don't go outside," Compton said in a solemn tone. He made up his mind not to make any movements before confirming.

What is going on?

Hearing the Elder's voice, I sighed inwardly. I don't know how much pressure is adding to him.

Then I stopped probing and went back to my tent.

On the other hand, Eric Lloyd was not satisfied with Garrett Marsh's words. He is sure that Garrett is hiding something. It's not at all related to the sudden appearance of the monster.

Boom!

Another deafening sound reached everyone's ears.

"Monster!" Valerie Lyons shouted in a high pitched voice. Her voice was so loud that it alarmed everyone.

Swish!

"What again?" Ricardo Compton appeared before Valerie Lyons.

At this moment, he noticed his reaction to Valerie. Seeing her pointing fingers in the western direction. Ricardo shifted his face in that direction.

His expression changes drastically.

Swish! Swish!

One by one everyone appeared in a few seconds. This time the sound was more alarming than the last time.

Swish!

"Zack," Compton uttered.

Hearing that I nodded my head. Like everyone else, my expression is not good either. I'm hoping that we could get some time. But it looks like we were trapped inside the rune section 2.

I slightly observed the reaction of Eric Lloyd and Garrett Marsh. "What is going on between these two?" I said to myself. Especially during this time. It's of utmost importance to stick together.

But looking at them, I feel elder Compton would lose his patience soon.

Outside,

A Gigantic worm monster made its appearance. The massive body of the monster destroyed the existing abandoned structure.

The energy released from the monster is no less than that of a Class-5 Monster. The size of the monster is twice that of the last monster.

The green small eyes immediately found the trace of prey. The intelligence of the class 5 monster is quite developed. Earlier it's minions were killed by someone.

Right after seeing the prey, the worm monster moved its humongous body toward the abandoned building. It made a massive crack in the ground.

Inside,

Ricardo Compton finally realizes that the monster is not the usual one. His senses were alarmed after a few seconds.

"Everyone moves and quickly hides somewhere," After saying that Ricardo Compton disappeared from the spot and moved to confront the monster.

Right after, Garrett Marsh disappeared using this opportunity. Everyone is not dumb. Even though Ricardo didn't say it explicitly. But it's clear to everyone that the new monster is stronger than the previous one.

The movement of Garrett didn't go unnoticed under Eric Lloyd's eyes. "Damn you pig," he cursed under his breath.

Next second, without minding everyone he chased after Garrett Marsh.

"These two," Valerie Lyons's expression darkened. This is an important time to stay together. But these two chose to act separately.

At this time, Kara Robles commented, "Vice-leader, leave those two. We don't have much time."

Hearing that Valerie Lyons glanced at her and Terrell Boyd. She noticed the expression of these two was not good. But when her gaze fell on Zack Lockwood. Her eyes lit up with surprise.

Zack Lockwood's eyes were calm as water without any fear. This caused her even more shock. How is it possible? The monster is possibly a Class-5 one.

Then she collected her thoughts and lead everyone towards the exit. Because the abandoned building is not safe anymore. When three of them walked out and appeared outside.

They found the landscape changed completely. It is turned upside down. Earlier a few battles caused massive damage here. Valerie Lyons quickly led everyone towards the opposite of the Class-5 Monster.

"The Armor Suit is taking a toll on me," Terrell Boyd finally spilled some words from his mouth.

Kara Robles rolled her eyes at him.

While the Vice-leader Valerie Lyons glanced at Zack. From time to time, she kept her eyes on him. She feels Zack will act separately if not for her watch.

She remembers the previous fight in the mutated forest. She can't deal with the same headache anymore.

"Roooaarrrrr," another deafening sound reached everyone's ears.

Valerie Lyons's face was discolored. Right before them, another worm monster appeared.

Four of them stopped their movements.

"Class-4," Terrell Boyd said with a distraught expression. How can they confront such a massive monster?

Even the leader Compton took some effort to kill the monster previously. But for them, it's impossible to face this monster. It's like seeking death directly.

"Valerie, I think we should split right now," Kara Robles said in a trembling voice. Due to fear, she didn't address her as Vice leader.

Hearing that Valerie Lyons revealed a complicated expression on her face. She can't abandon them. But Kara's words made her realize some truth.

None of them are capable of facing that monster. Finally, her gaze fell on Zack. From what she had heard, leader Compton promised his friend to take care of Zack.

At the same time, I noticed the gaze of Valerie Lyons. So much chaos is happening right now. I guess it's the right time to act individually. Unless Elder Compton solves that class-5 monster.

They can't escape alive.

"Vice-leader, I want to act alone," I said.

"Zack, you.." Valerie Lyons uttered in low tome

"Roooarrrr," The worm monster made another sound. It got closer to the team. If they waste any more time, it will result in death.

"Split," Valerie Lyons said while gritting her teeth.

Swish! Swish!

Next second, everyone chooses a different direction to escape. But I choose to go in the direction where Eric Lloyd and Garrett Marsh disappeared.

Those two are up to something. But I don't know what it is. While rushing, I glanced toward the Class-5 Monster. The monster is probably located at the entrance of the ruin. But I see the shadow of the monster here itself.

I had never thought the appearance of a Class-5 monster made everyone run for their life. Then retracting my thoughts, I increased my pace a little bit.

As Terrell spoke earlier. Running while wearing the Armour suit is a daunting task.

Behind my back, I hear the terrible sound of a monster. I know no one is fighting except Elder Compton. So before any monster chases me down. I have to find the other two.

One good thing though the worm monster lacks speed. So I believe everyone can escape safely.

10 minutes later,

I reached the other end of the ruin. There are no more abandoned buildings. If I cross this spot, I will reach the plains. The other side of the plain is a mutated forest. Which is another troublesome thing.

A frown appeared on my face. I know that those two initially ran in this direction. But here there is no sign of them. Where did they go? I'm sure that I will not go back to confront that monster.

My mind sprang up in action. This spot is not safe either. The whole ruin 2 is attacked by the worm monster. I guess it will be a matter of time before another monster arrives here.

Then I finally made up my mind to go and check the plains.

Swish!

I disappeared from the spot and dashed towards the plains.

A few minutes later,

In the middle of the plains, I noticed some footprints. This land is not so big either. So apart from some grasses, there is no other structure here. But the footprints made me puzzled.

So I followed the footprints. Soon another footprint came into my view. This time I made an accurate judgment. Garrett Marsh and Eric Lloyd! A quick glint flashed in my eyes.

I found two sets of footprints. One is medium size and another one is a bit large. No doubt! It's the leg footprint of the armor suit.

These two guys go? In curiosity, I followed the footprint. I walked past the uneven land and finally, I came across the corpse.

My back went cold for a moment. The next moment, I used my perception to scan the surroundings. I used it carefully so as not to alarm the worm monsters.

It would be troublesome if the monsters noticed my presence. So I started slowly. Finally, after confirming there is no threat around me. I walked up to the corpse and checked it.

When I realized it was the corpse of Garrett Marsh, I sighed inwardly. But I wasn't surprised. Looking at their previous behavior, I realized there is indeed some bad blood between them.

But what made Eric kill his friend? That guy was obviously after me. I thought he made up a team with Garrett Marsh to attack me. But the ending was unexpected. Then after checking one more time, I decided to track Eric Lloyd.

There must be something going on. I didn't find any traces on the corpse. But I believe Eric Lloyd has some answers.
