I'm in..... TWISTED WONDERLAND

🕯First Monster Pt. 9🕯

Yelina P.O.V

Deuce charged at the blot, blasting a few spells to try and defeat the monster that was coming toward us.

Keyword: 'try'

"Leave! Leave!! Leeeeeaave!!!" The blot screamed swinging its pickaxe, tossing Deuce into the wall of the cave right next to us, a sickening crunch was heard as he made contact with the stone wall.

"Guuuuh!!"

"Deuce!" I screamed and ran to him, the wall he was thrown into was dented, but Deuce barely had a scratch. I let a quick sigh of relief before looking at the blot ahead of us. How are we supposed to defeat this, we were just kids who were barely put into magic school.

Soon Ace was in front of us in a protective stance. "Stand back if you have no control, Mr. Serious! I'll stop it! Haa!"

Ace then charged at the blot, using wind spells to defeat it.

"Wuuuuuuooooooohhh!!!" The blot howled and then started swinging his pickaxe again.

"Guuhaaaah!!"

Ace was then thrown against the wall right next to me, another gruesome crunch was heard as thrown into the wall, "Ace!!"

I then moved toward him to see any injuries, luckily there were none. Soon Grim was in front of the three of us, breathing fire at the overblot. "Ffgnaaa!! Stay away!!"

But it just agitated the blot even more. Swinging its pickaxe more and more as it came closer to us, growling in frustration. But Grim just kept breathing fire as it came closer and closer until the distance was too close for us to bear.

"I-It's not working at all!" Grim yelled, Ace and Deuce finally gaining enough strength to stand, their legs were shaking, but they were still standing.

Then something unexpected happened... They both grab me by the hand. Ace grabbed my right while Deuce grabbed my left. Was this supposed to happen!?! Why are they doing this!?! What is going on!?! Just as my brain was going on a train of thoughts, I saw something sparkle behind the blot.

"Did you guys see that!?" I asked them, and both of them nodded.

"Behind that thing! At the end of the tunnel, something..." Ace trailed off as he was trying to squint at the object that was sparking behind the blot. "Is that light.... from a magic crystal!?" Deuce finally said.

When I looked back from where I saw the sparkled, I noticed how the blot stopped, only for a moment before it screamed, "GOOOOOOOOOHHH! WON'T GIVE!!!!"

The blot started to swing its pickaxe even more furiously.

"L-L-L-Let's get out of here! We're done for at this rate!!" Grim cried out. To which I gave a quick nod and then yelled "Retreat!"

With that, all four of us ran out of the mines as fast as possible.

"Ggggggooooohhh!!!"

We ran and ran until we made our way to the front of the cottage. As we stood nearby the little stream, all of us were trying to calm down and take a breath. But, for some reason, my chest was sore, each breath stung and ignited a small pain in my rids.

I winced at the discomfort, it didn't need rocket science to know why. The bandages I got earlier were the reason, did I wrap the bandages too tight? Or was it the running from the blot?

It could be either or both, but right now...

I looked at my fellow associates in this mission. Their eyes widened with fear, and their entire bodies shook. "Is this far enough?" I heard Grim ask.
