The Lonely Path Part V

“Two minutes,” the young man said to himself. Narasha flew along the Lonely Path. Tan could not see any of the party members behind him but knew they were all following, except Blanche, who was still with Death Shadow.

“Blanche! Still hanging in there?!” Tan shouted through the communication system.

“Yeah!" came the reply from the communication system. “But if you can't make it to the temple in three minutes, you'll have a problem!” said Blanche, which surprised Tan, who was heading toward the entrance to the Underworld Temple.

“What do you mean?!”

“I just saw the boss trying to teleport!” Blanche continued, “I think if I die, it will teleport to you!”

“What the hell….” The words slipped out of his mouth. He glanced at the remaining time before the skill effect caused Blanch to die. There was just over a minute remaining.

"You're not going to die!" Tan yelled back.

"Don’t worry... I die more than anyone else anyway," said Blanche, laughing before cutting off contact.
