World Online

Jake looked to the sides.

There were trees all over, but even this thick cover couldn't hide the numbers that hid behind. Jake could see the thousands of unknown names from behind the trees.

They were enemies, waiting to strike.

Jake wasted no time.

"Enemy attack! Behind the trees! Ready yourself!" He shouted as his sword shone.

"Enemies? How the hell did I not see any of them?" Myriad Arrows cursed.

"Because you were busy complaining about something you couldn't control." Kierch chuckled as his twin blades appeared in his hands.

"Come on then. Let us go to the trees and get a killing head start. I mean, are we going to wait for them to come to us?" Kierch asked.

"We do not know what the enemy is, and what the enemy's powers are. We can't just rush in. If the leaders disappear, the entire army will fall into despair." Jake shook his head.

"Where the hell is Phoenix? Myriad Arrows. Go to the center and take Phoenix' place until she appears." Jake snorted.

"No need. She returned." Myriad Arrows beckoned at Jake's left.

"Really? That was quick. I didn't expect her to get to the front that quickly. Where did she disappear to in the first place?" Jake was quite surprised with Phoenix' speed.

"Does it matter? Let us just start preparing for the clear problem in our hands right now. You said we have enemies here?" Myriad Arrows said.

"Indeed. How can none of you see them?" Jake said as he beckoned to the trees.

"What do you mean, see them? All I see are the trees. What enemies?" Myriad Arrows shouted.

"Don't you see the name bars though? The HP bars and the names of the enemies? Those are visible even if the monsters we face aren't. Don't you know that?" Jake said.

"What are you talking about? Are you high? That is no feature any player has. You just be dreaming. Did you just alert everyone because of your hallucinations?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"No, you have to be joking. I remember the feature. Everyone had it." Jake muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he looked forward.

"Doesn't matter. The enemies are here. Trust me on that. When was I ever wrong?" Jake said.

"Well, you do have a point. But you better get yourself checked after this. Because I have no idea what feature you are talking about, and I am pretty sure no one else does either." Myriad Arrows said.

"Alright. I got it. Stop going on about it." Jake chided as he peered through the trees. He still couldn't see anything. The cover the bushes and the trees provided was too thick, and if the monsters didn't want to reveal themselves, there was no way Jake could point them out.

"We will have to draw them out. Get the mages to start attacking the trees. Tell them to aim their attacks a little further in and see if they get any experience after a few attacks." Jake said.

"You mean experience meaning monsters dying?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"Yes. That." Jake nodded.

"Got it. You better be right on this one." Myriad Arrows said as he turned around to relay the command.

"What is going on. No one can see the names but me? But I remember having this feature in the last life, and when I used it during the class change quest, it helped me so much." Jake thought to himself.

"I need to take a look at this later. But now, the enemies are here, and I can't leave them be." Jake gripped his sword tightly.

The mages seemed to have gotten his command, and slowly, a few spells were flying into the forests.

Then, stillness.

Everyone became as silent as they could be, with the only voice being the one of the spells hitting the trees, the leaves, and the ground.

There was not a shriek from within.

"That can't be. There are enemies. I am sure of it." Jake swore.

"We have a problem!" Suddenly, someone from the far end shouted.

Jake heard a few shouted from his left as well. And judging from how distant they seemed, Jake had no doubt they were coming from the left flank.

"What happened-"

Before Jake asked, he understood what the problem was.

The trees were changing.

They were slowly morphing, and slowly, a pink mist was coming from the very depths of the forest on the right.

Jake had no doubt that this pink mist was coming from the left end as well, and that was what the pink mist was about.

"Mages of the wind attribute! Try to push the pink mist away!" Jake shouted.

This was Jake's final resort. He didn't know what this mist was, but it could be something poisonous, and even if he had a few antipodes, he didn't have nearly enough to give to the rest of the army.

This was not a fight he could win on his own.

"I didn't hear any rumors of this, and Horace's sources didn't tell us anything about this pink mist. This is a monster that no one has faced yet." Jake muttered.

"How is this happening to only us? The other guilds didn't see the world giants and the other guilds clearly didn't face a poison front. So why are we facing it?" Jake cursed as he swiped his sword.

It cut forward, and the pink mis that was trying to advance toward him cut slightly, before the void created was filled with more pink most.

The wind spells by the mages was doing almost nothing. All the spells did was waste mana.

"This isn't working. Is the mist poisonous. I guess I have to find out on my own." Jake said as he steeled his nerves.

"I am going in! If you don't hear from me, then make sure to not inhale the mist!" Jake shouted as he stepped to the right, toward the forest, slowly letting the pink most engulf him.
