When I looked in front of--there it was. The fog of the shadow, its face was right in front of my face. There are no eyes or any facial features, but I can feel that it is starting deep inside me.
'Die!'
Karkas grabbed my hand and dragged me to the pedestal.
The small bridges around the pedestal broke.
The shadows were chasing me but stopped near the boundary of the pedestal.
They can't come to this side...they are fog. They don't need to walk.
They have surrounded the pedestal. Everywhere I look, I see them.
"What's wrong with you?! Why are you freaking out for no reason?!"
"Can't you see them?!"
"See who?"
"This...black fog"
"There is nothing there, calm down"
Why can't they see them?
One of the shadows took a step forward.
The rest of them did the same.
They began walking towards the pedestal.
There are hundreds of them.
They kept walking until they all fell down in the abyss.
'Curse you!'
They are still here!
A hand appeared from the abyss.
Another hand appeared from the abyss. And one more, more, more, more.
They moved towards me.
"What is this thing!" Karkas yelled.
Huh?
They can see it now?
"Stay back, Karkas" the Queen said.
I looked at Lily, she was giving me a horrified look.
"Lily?"
She flew and spread her hands.
"What are you doing?
[Don't worry, I will protect you]
"What are you talking about?! Get back!"
"Who are you talking to?"
"Shut up!--"
There was something on the top of the fountain, shining brightly.
But it is bigger than other orbs.
"This must be a secret quest of the event and we need to clear it" Karkas said.
"I don't think so" the Queen said.
I got up and climbed the fountain, taking out the shining orb.
The hands retreated.
They are scared of...this?
I immediately grabbed Lily.
"Stay back"
[I will protect--]
"No need! I don't need any protection"
I don't want to lose someone protecting me.
The hands appeared again.
I raised the orb, but they didn't retreat this time.
I moved the orb at them.
"Why?!"
The orb turned black.
The orb that was once shining bright, protecting from the black fog, turned black and the fog came out from it.
'Hate!'
'Die!'
[Das]
"Adas!"
"Stay back Lily!"
Another hand caught me, and another, and another, as they pulled me into the abyss.
'Kill!'
My entire body is covered by them.
It burns.
It is really burning.
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
This warning sound...
Is it because of me?
Everywhere is dark.
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
[Das!]
I can hear Lily's voice.
"Adas!"
I don't want to hear this voice.
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
I opened my eyes to see I was lying on the ground and Lily was sitting on my c.h.e.s.t, crying.
"Hey, are you okay?" Karkas asked, slapping my face.
"What happened?"
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
"We don't know, but after those hands pulled you down, they came up again. They had covered your body, but suddenly a crack appeared on them, and they shattered into nothing"
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
I patted Lily and said, "Hey, I am okay now"
"Who are you talking to--why is your left eye red?"
"Huh?"
My left eye is red?
How?
I thought this only happens in the real world.
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
[This Event Has Been Canceled Due To Internal Error]
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
[All The Players Will Be Teleported From The Abyssal Ruins]
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
[Please Do Not Panic]
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
[All Players From The Abyssal Ruins Have Been Teleported]
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
"What are they talking about?" Karkas yelled.
"We are still here" the Queen said.
Is it because of me?
And what about the event now?
They canceled the event. What now?
What about all the orbs?
What about my first rank?
What about the endpoint?
What about winning?
What will happen now?
I was supposed to win this event and score first, to save her. To get her program.
"We should escape from here. This floor can collapse at any moment" the Queen said.
"But from where? The door we came in from disappeared"
I glanced at where the door earlier was, but now there is no door.
That orb disappeared too.
"We can escape from there" the Queen said, pointing upwards.
"But it's too high"
"No worries. If I combine my skills, we can reach there. But there is one problem, I can only carry one person with me" the Queen said.
"Don't worry about me. I have a skill that lets me jump"
"Okay then. We are going" the Queen said, grabbing Karkas.
With one jump, she crossed half of the height. She stabbed her sword to the wall, stepped on it, and jumped again. She punched the wall using her shield to boost the jump and crossed the entire distance in three jumps.
[Das]
"Don't worry, it's okay"
There is no way I can jump that high. Even if I use my levitate skill, it's impossible.
[Let's get out of here]
"You know that I can't jump this high"
[Then log out]
"I don't want to"
[Then get up, please]
"Lily"
[Please get up]
"Stop crying first"
I wiped her tears.
[You can get out of here]
"There is no door to escape"
[You can do it. Just imagine it, and it will happen]
How does she know that?
"Lily, you know what's happening, and why these all things are happening, right?"
[I know it. I will tell you everything, but let's get out first]
I got up.
It still burns where they touched me.
I imagined the pedestal moving upwards.
The pedestal started shaking and began moving upward.
'Die!'
I looked down to see those hands approaching me.
[Don't look down, Das]
I imagined the pedestal speed increase, and it increased.
The hands grabbed the pedestal and started pulling it down.
We just needed some more...
I jumped and used my Levite skill to jump again.
I grabbed the edge with one hand and grabbed Lily with another, throwing her away from me.
The hands grabbed my legs again and pulled me down.
[Das!]

[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
"Lily, where is Das?" Elena asked.
[Elena!]
"Where is Das?"
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
All the remaining players who participated in the Abyssal Ruins event were teleported outside.
After being teleported, Elena searched for Das everywhere, but she couldn't find him.
Sometime later, two players jumped out from the hole.
It was Karaks and Rosemarie.
Elena asked if they had seen Das, and Karkas told her that he was still inside.
Elena tried to jump in. but Serah stopped her.
A few minutes later, they saw Lily coming out from the hole.
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
"Where is Das?"
[I am sorry]
"Where is Das?!"
[He is still...]
[Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning]
Elena tried to run towards the hole to jump--
The ground shook.
All the players present there started freaking out.
"Das"
"Calm down, Elena"
"Das!"
As soon as Ricky and Rikka saw Elena and Serah, they immediately ran towards them.
"What's going on?" Ricky asked.
"Das!"
"Das still hasn't teleported" Serah said, trying her best to restrain Elena.
Bang~~ Bang~~
With a loud bang, someone jumped out of the hole.
"Da....s?"
It was Das, but after him jumped out a huge black matter.
It had no shape, just a matter. A black lump of solid fog.
'Die!'
Das was standing at the edge, covering his face with one hand.
'Kill!'
[Das]
"Stay back, Lily" Das said, pushing Lily back by waving his hand.
It wasn't a forceful wave. Just a wave in the air, but Lily was sent back forcefully towards where Elena and others were.
Das had strange marks on the left side of his body, and his sword was emitting black fire.
He took out his sword and looked back at the black matter by tilting his head backwards, his red eye shining from between the gap of his fingers, and said, "Oo you foolish beings"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When I looked in front of--there it was. The fog of the shadow, its face was right in front of my face. There are no eyes or any facial features, but I can feel that it is starting deep inside me.
