After moving for a while, our group was nearly out of the woods. A little more and we were going to reach the flatlands which were a mere representation of the well-established roads of the now-forgotten past.
“Huff… Huff…” Many huffed as they tried pushing their bodies to their limits, knowing fully well that the horde chasing them was relentless in their pursuit.
Their brains were in too much of an overdrive to think rationally.
‘Where are we running to?’
‘If we keep moving, can we outrun the incoming stampede?’
‘Even if we manage to outrun them, we’re heading in the direction of the Camp! Isn’t that what we were trying to avoid in the first place?!’
Thoughts like these never crossed anyone’s minds since their intelligence had been considerably drained and adrenaline had taken over. Being the only one who could think rationally, I enjoyed the sight of watching them run off, like cattle escaping an overwhelming predator.
We finally got out of the woods in one piece, feeling several trees crumble and crash behind us as we ran. The Demons were closer than anyone had expected.
“Hurry! Everyone, hurry!” Daniel shouted.
‘To where, though? Pfft!’
As soon as everyone finally got out of the woods, they were greeted with despondency. Across the vast road that the desperate members thought they could escape to, they found a wave of Hobgoblins, numbering about a hundred.
“N-no… no way…!”
The wave consisted of a lot of Hobgoblin Brawlers, a few Archers, and a single Tanker. They were a small squad, but to the Subjugation Team members, they were the very definition of despair.
Already exhausted beyond belief due to running for so long, and now seeing such a horrid sight… it was enough to drive many mad!
However, the despair was just beginning!
“G-guys…?!” I stuttered, calling the attention of everyone to me.
Like creaking metal, they turned their heads and looked behind, their eyes widening in shock as they saw another sickening sight.
Seeming to appear out of nowhere, another group of about a hundred Hobgoblins appeared as well, all grinning with bloodlust.
“G-guys… I-I…” I stuttered.

Why? Since I was the one at the farthest in the rear, the newly appeared wave was directly behind me.
In essence, I was going to be the first to die!
*********************************
Before anyone could say anything, the Hobgoblins descended upon Jeremy, tearing what appeared to be his flesh apart. Blood spurted and screams filled the air as the Hobgoblins’ prey was killed in the cruelest way possible.
The other Gifteds watched in horror, frozen in their positions as the gory sight unfolded. A wave of Hobgoblins advanced from their front, another wave from behind them, and the Stampede was nearly upon them.
All hope appeared to be lost. Now in the dark, all about to die at the hands of the very Demons they hoped to achieve victory against, the Gifteds experienced the tallest height of despair imaginable.
“We’re… going to die here?!”
“No, please… I-I don’t want to die!”
“Please save us, Daniel!”
“Someone, save us!”
“Please! Please save us!”
Unfortunately, their pleas fell on deaf ears since they were the only humans around. The Hobs that would soon kill them served as their audience, grinning from ear to ear, pleased by the desperate cries of fear that came out of the mouths of everyone.
“Guruikkkkk! Kekekeke!”
