I stop fainting and begin to stand up. I immediately look around and realize that the impact of the drake attack has sent me flying through a wall. I quickly run to the area where we fight the drake and hoping that Hugh was still alive.

When I arrive at the spot, the drake was missing as well as Hugh. I tried to found Hugh but all that I had found is his shield. I let out a yell when I saw Diana"s body parts. I began to regret bringing them here to accompany me. Diana died because of me if I were stronger enough like the other player or had better special skills no one will die. I continue my search for Hugh.

I take another glance around and see no one. Then I notice a trail of blood leading away to a hole in the cave. I think that it might be the trail of Hugh blood, so I start to follow it. Along the way, I shout Hugh"s name as I don"t want him to die alone like this. He probably going through h.e.l.l right now and I just wish he could hear me.

Finally, I find Hugh but I notice he lay unconscious on the floor. Hugh looks very pale and exhausted. His eyes are close and he doesn"t seem to be moving. Hugh seems to have lost consciousness when I found him as I presume that he already dead.

I feel tears welling up in my eyes. I can"t believe that I was crying over someone"s death again. I wipe them away and try to compose yourself before continuing.

"I"m sorry"

Hugh opens her eyes and sees me.

I was surprised seeing Hugh was still alive. "I"m glad you still alive but how did you survive? How did you escape?"

"I don"t remember much but I was sent flying by the same drake and ended here. I was badly injured at that time and I fainted, then I wake up here seeing you."

"So what happens to the drake?"

"Could we talk about it later? and how about giving me some potion first."

I quickly handed some healing potions to Hugh as I see Hugh"s health bar and wounds begin to heal up. I also give his shield back, we then rest a while to restore our stamina.

"Hey, Hugh... I think we should go back and cancel this thing."

"If you want to go back... just go! I would not leave the cave until I have killed those Earthen drakes myself."

It would seem like Hugh planning to avenge Diana"s death, I feel the same way too but after what had happened. I realize that I was too scared to fight again as I would die. I try to convince Hugh that we should leave but he wouldn"t listen to me.


He then stands up and leaves me behind to search for the drake that kills Diana. I was still frightened but I would not leave Hugh alone as it would be just suicide for him. I follow him and tried to search for the drakes but couldn"t find it.

As we walk deeper into the cave, we notice that something is watching us. We don"t know what it is but we could feel the presence. Suddenly we hear the screeching sound again, we quickly follow that sound and we finally saw the Earthen Drakes again. Hugh was about to charge in but I managed to stop him.

I told him that we should have strategies before fighting those monsters again or else we will just die.

"Isn"t it obvious! Each person handles a single drake." Hugh quickly charges to one of the drakes.

The drakes notice Hugh and let out a huge roar, they began to let out a burst of flame. I charge forward with my sword raised high above my head. The drake roars and swings its claws at me but I managed to dodge them. I swing again and this time manages to hit the drake in the face causing it to crash into the ground hard.

I raise my blade and cut straight across the drake"s chest. The drake lets out a scream of pain. I thought that I could end this drake life but the drake suddenly disappears from my sight. I look around and see that the other drake was also missing.

I and Hugh were confused as the drake suddenly disappears.

A loud sound then echoes throughout the cave. We turn around and see a huge black shadow looming over us. It is the mysterious figure that I saw earlier but its face was completely covered by a demon mask. It lets out another deep booming voice that fills the whole cave making it very scary.

I check that creature level and profile.

[NPC PROFILE]

Name: ?????

t.i.tle: Dragon Summoner

Race: Undead/ ????

Level: 300

I quickly draw my sword and prepare myself for the battle. The figure attacks me with lightning-fast strikes of its clawed hands. I managed to block it and when I saw an opening I quickly cut off one of his arms. But somehow my attack just went through it.

The undead starts focusing on Hugh now. Hugh quickly raises his shield and prepares himself for the undead next attack. Hugh then unleashes a powerful skill bash but it was useless as he just went through the undead.

The demon laughs at Hugh and raises his hand toward me. I feel a strange sensation in my mind and body. My sense seems to be heightened and I can sense things that aren"t there. I realize now that this is what the undead do when they summon their creatures! The undead sends out these feelings so he can control me.

My body begins to move on its own as it tried to attack Hugh. My body feels much faster, luckily Hugh manages to block my attack but it knock us several feet.

"What are you doing! The undead is there." Hugh was confused why I am attacking him instead of the undead

"Hugh run away! My body being control...."
