Magnus of Ice

The Exit is Open

As everyone was focused on the moving statues, nobody noticed that one of the blue fires went out.

"W-WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW??" The extra asked. 'Tch, if she didn't speak, I would forget she even existed.' Magnus thought, clearly annoyed that she had to yell that out.

"THE HELL IS THIS?! DAMN!!" Mr.Kim asked. 'He better not start blaming me for putting them in this position.' Jin-Woo thought to himself as he discreetly held on tighter to Magnus.

The statues were approaching them from all sides. One carried a double head ax, another a regular war ax, another with a long sword. 'I swear if the bow bastard appears, Imma shoot it before it shoots us. Damn piece of shit took my arm. I can't let it live. Wait? Are automated statues able to pass as living beings?' Magnus had an apparent vendetta with the Robin Hood of the statues but got distracted easily. He has the attention span of a goldfish if he doesn't hold a solid attachment for whatever he's thinking about. That's why most of the time, his mind wanders to when and where Jin-Woo would fuck him.

Jin-Woo seemed to notice something; as he stared at one statue, it stopped moving. Then he stared at a different one, and that one also stopped moving.

Jin-Woo noticed that Ju-Hee, the party's B-rank healer who has the 'courage of a rat' (Magnus is the one who told Jin-Woo, trying to splash dirty water on his love rival), had her eyes closed.

"JU-HEE, YOU CAN'T CLOSE YOUR EYES! JUST LIKE THE GAME, WE PLAYED WHEN WE WERE YOUNG." Jin-Woo began as he shook Ju-Hee to open her eyes.

"Jin-Woo, the old man has Alzheimer's. You have to explain it." Magnus said, next to him. Jin-Woo just stared at him for a second, then realized, 'Oh, he's serious. He actually believes they have Alzheimer's.'

"THEY COME CLOSER WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OF THEM! EVERYONE! DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE STATUES!" Jin-Woo finished.

"YOU HEARD THE MAN! KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED." Magnus chirped right after.

More flames seemed to go out, but nobody noticed it since everyone was staring at the statues. Again.

The extra hunter still had her eyes closed, not wanting to open them. 'She seemed to be on edge.' Magnus noticed, only because she wasn't doing as told.

"Hey, girl, did you not hear open your eye-" A sudden hard step from one of the approaching statues seemed to shake her up since she just suddenly screamed, successfully cutting Magnus off.

"AHHHHHHHHHHCK!!!"

She ran off, Jin-Woo trying to stop her. "NO!!"

"Let me shoot her leg. I won't miss this time." And so an icicle was shot, almost hitting her, but it got knocked off course by an arrow.

"You bitch. You're a discount version of Robin Hood. You're a Potoo hood instead. Yea, Potoo hood." Magnus was fuming; the bitch of a Robin Hood didn't let him hit her.

"HEY!! DID YALL SEE THAT?" Mr.Kim, like always, wanted to start trouble.

"Just cause it saved her doesn't mean it will save you too. Don't leave, or I'll shoot your dick off." Magnus threatened.

"R-right." Mr.Kim was terrified by the threat. He knew that this Dragon Reaper of Ice actually meant it.

As soon as she got out of the circle, one of the orange firs gave out. But most were too busy being amazed by how the bow statue deflected the icicle. They got an even bigger surprise as she made it past the open door.

"W-WHAT?!" Mr.Kim was surprised, so surprised that he forgot to be scared of the threat looming over his head.

"JIN-WOO, HOW'S THIS POSSIBLE?!"
