Vexx looked down at the massive forest that seemed to never end. The forest had large trees that were crooked and bushy; they gave off an ominous aura that sent chills into Vexx's soul. Eventually he turned around and saw that everyone was looking around. He decided to wait for Naomi to make a decision as he didn't really want to stand out or take any credit for their accomplishments.
"Let's go before the other team arrives." Naomi said and started walking down one side of the mountain everyone followed behind quietly until Blake asked a question that Vexx also wanted to know Naomi's opinion on. "What type of formation do you want when we battle?"
Naomi looked at Blake for a second and then shared her plan with the rest of the group. "I think the best way we can go about this is to have Me and Vexx as vanguard. Sky is our range support while Kamari is our vanguard support and you hit them from behind."
Blake nodded and then switched position to be hidden so he could teleport out of sight if he needed. Vexx looked around and saw that the forest they were in had become more dense the deeper they ventured. The group ventured further in and eventually found some strange plants on the ground. The Plants were yellow and had strange strings on them almost like a spider nest had been on them.
Vexx looked at the plant and looked at it closely. The next second Kamari had picked up the flower and a small green cloud of gas appeared in his vision. The next second a message appeared in front of him.
[Poison has infiltrated your system]
[You will take -1 HP every minute]
`Shit! One every minute. That means I only have 20 minutes left to live.' Vexx panicked in his head but didn't let it show on his face. After around 30 seconds another message appeared in front of him
[You have gained poison resistance (lvl 1)]
This surprised Vexx but he was relieved at the same time as he saw how his HP only had gone down one point. "What the hell were you thinking!" Vexx shouted at Kamari as he apologized over and over. Eventually Kamari had been forgiven and they continued walking. The wind's they felt at the top of the mountain seemed to have picked up as they felt really strong as they walked through the thick forest which didn't make a lot of sense to Vexx.
Naomi held up her hand and everyone tensed up and stopped. As they were standing around Vexx heard something. This was a quiet sound that not many would have heard. The sound was soft paws rapidly hitting the ground. "Everyone get ready to fight," Naomi said in a quiet voice. Everyone stood still for a minute before everyone else heard the paws hitting the ground.
When Vexx looked in the direction he could see that behind a big tree there were 4 wolf beasts dashing right towards them. "They are on the right!" Vexx shouted as everyone turned in unison to kill the beasts. Vexx made his fists ready as he didn't want to reveal his darkspace where he could store items. Sky took her revolver that was at her thigh and pointed at the first wolf. Sky shot but when the bullet should have hit the wolf it disappeared and came back right behind Sky.
Kamari quickly spun around and charged his fist with electricity and punched the wolf on its big head. The wolf slided across the dirty ground but quickly got up. The other three wolves got closer and came in to attack Blake and Naomi. Right before the wolves were able to bite them Blake disappeared and came from behind them instead.
Naomi took her sword that hung at her hip and slashed at the closest wolf to her. When Blake was behind the wolves he slashed one of them in the back with his new daggers. The daggers were amazing as his strength had almost doubled when he held them. The wolf under Blakes daggers winced as he got pushed to the ground but just as the wolf was about to get killed by Blake he disappeared and was now behind Blake and then pressed his claws into his back.
Blake bit through the pain and teleported behind the wolf as Blake stabbed it through the stomach and killed it. Kamri and Sky looked at the wolf who Kamari had just punched. Sky took her revolver and shot the mut in the back and killed it.
Naomi seemed to not have any problems as she just took her blade and used her water Solubility to hit it at three different directions with the water bombs and then swiftly cut its head off.
Vexx looked at the wolf that was in front of him and started running towards it. Vexx Covered the areas that were covered up by his clothing in darkness and enhanced himself with the rest leaving him at 0 darkness for his attacks which meant that he needed to use normal martial arts to fight.
The wolf jumped up and tried biting Vexx in his arm which he gladly accepted as he had a layer of darkness around his arms. Vexx had not mastered the complete defense so he just let the wolf bite into his arm which he couldn't because of the dense darkness that covered it. The wolf hung from his arm trying to bite through the defence but Vexx took a grip around the wolf's throat and slammed him into the ground and continued to press down until he ran out of air and was dead.
A few messages popped up in front of him.
