Chapter 16: New Company
After Approaching the group of girls Broken Fire said:
"Hello, my names Broken Fire, can I join you?"
The short, blonde girl, Mage jumped at the request.
"Someone came!
Sure you can join us! Right Sis?
I'm Maryl, I meant Glade Parp." said Glade Parp(the short blonde)
The obviously older Sister with dark blood red hair and a dagger on her hilt said coldly:
"What's your class."
Saying that Broken Fires smile froze.
"My class is a little interesting, but you can consider me a Swordsman ;) ,
What are your classes?" said Broken Fire
Excitingly Glade said:
"Oh, O I'm a Cleric, from getting a common Class change,
I used to be a Wizard, so I can use all the Wizard gear!"
"I'm a Rouge" said the redhead.
"You can call me Firely Sunset." she said.
"Well now since you asked for one more person and received one more person what are we waiting for!?" said Broken Fire
After saying that the group walked over to the massive trunk and looked up.
Firely Sunset said:
"There's one of the closest branch to us and there's already people farming there,
We will need to climb to the next branch where there looks to be less people."
Squinting she could make out a blobs of color.
While climbing, one hand at a time, the group passed the massive branch they saw at the beginning.
There was a party of 5 people. From the looks of it there was a Swordsman, Archer, Guardian, Rouge, and Wizard. A perfectly evenly balanced party. No supplementary classes.
They were sitting around waiting for another wave of monsters to spawn on the branch it looked like.
Considering that they were all clean and no one looked tired they probably had only cleared 1 or 2 waves before this.
The whole branch was covered in leaves, some small as baby hands and some as big as houses.
On the surface of the branch it was patterns of brown spots because of so many leaves falling from higher branches.
While they were sitting around the Archer looked around the tree.
Many groups of people were climbing to higher and higher branches all over the main trunk.
Looking over the Trunk the Archer pulled out his bow.
Aiming at a random team he saw that was close to a branch and shot his arrow from his bow.
(White) Longbow
Good Ability: Shoots 1 arrow up to 200m and if hit deals 300 damage(5 second cooldown)
After he shot the first arrow aiming at the tree trunk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While climbing as a party of 3 an arrow stuck into the tree trunk next to Glade Parp.
"Yelp!!,
Someone's shooting at me!" said Glade.
"Climb! Go go go, He is targeting us!" said Broken Fire.
After being shot at Broken Fire activated his Boots ability:
(White) Boots
Good Ability: Speed(Increase Speed of movement of Character by 10%)
He could always have them active but kept them off so that he kept steady with the party.
Being actually tied with Firely's climbing speed even with the buff he looked back at Glade being terrified and slow while climbing.
They were very close to the next branch.
"Firely get over to that branch quickly!" said Broken Fire.
"What about my sister!" said Firely Sunset
"I will stall for her!" said Broken Fire.
Looking down he stopped climbing and actually started to climbing left and right like a maniac.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What the heck is happening on the tree over there?,
One of the those guys is moving crazily up there." said the Archer
"Oh wow this is entertaining,
Aim for him!, Shoot him out of the sky!
Its like that guy up there is challenging you after you missed that arrow" said the Guardian
"Don't waste to many arrows.
Your the weakest here and I need you to be useful " said the Swordsman.
"ITS fine guys Ill get him in 2 shots" said the Archer.
With that being said he shot the next arrow out at the target.
"Look guys it hit his chest, he is dead for sure!" said the Archer
"WHAT! It hit him in the chest and he is still moving? Does this guy not take any damage? How is he moving so fast if he is a guardian with armor like that?" said the Archer
"In 5 seconds I will hit him and if not ill keep shooting him for breaking my pride!" said the Archer.
After the time passed he shot another arrow at the target, hitting him dead in the head.
"OMG no way! Is this guy a NPC?" said the Archer.
While saying this he saw a glint of light in the distance.
"What is that!?" said the Archer
As he said and with no time to react a arrow pierced his chest dealing 300 damage and instantly killing him.
When he died a bow fell on the floor and he instantly disappeared.
All 4 of his party members were startled that their party member instantly died in from of them.
"I told him to be useful and he goes up and somehow dies" said the Swordsman.
That guy up there must have some crazy gear or something.
"OI pay attention more monsters just spawned!" said the Swordsman.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After being shot by the second arrow that hit Broken fire started climbing up to the nearest branch because Glade already got to their with his distraction.
No more arrows came and he counted his blessings to the Gods above in the Higher Heavens because he used his Helmet and Breastplate ability, both with a 24hr cooldown.
Broken Fire didn't notice that he actually killed the archer with his Helmets deflect ability.
Once he climbed up the tree and got to the branch he saw Glade and Firely laying prone in a bunch of huge leaves staring ahead at something ominous.
