PLANET ARCADIUS: Zoix Warrior

[08] MUTATED FOREST

<<LOCATION: ASHTAROTH KINGDOM - MYSTHIC FOREST>>

Maingat ang bawat paglapat ng aming mga paa sa ibabaw ng mga tuyong damuhan. Malutong na nadurog ang mga ito sa ilalim ng aming talampakan. Puro kaluskos, maging ang mabagal kong paghinga mula sa loob ng helmet ang tanging ingay na narinig ko.

"We are near our destination," Hail said through our helmet communicator. "Be careful of the things around you. We still don't own any save data about them. They are the biggest potential threat to us."

Hailey Deux, 18. Healer of the group and also a beast tamer. She possessed two flying beasts. They are perch on her shoulders - who are still in their baby form. Birds, both from the phoenix races with golden and green feathers. Most importantly, she's considered as the 15th rank.

Noien brought out a transparent cylinder glass. "Let's finish this quickly. Gather every specimens you can manage to get."

I looked down at the same container I held in my hand. It might be too small but with a little tampering from a space attribute. This storage now, have large space. It can store atleast tons of kilogram.

Para kaming agila sa pagiging listo sa paligid. Maya't maya ang ginawa naming paglingon sa bawat sulok ng tahimik at madilim na kagubatan.

"I'm sending the live videos to our Academy. Dr. Haines and the others from the research team are watching everything we sees." Zaturn clicked some buttons in his watch, probably contacting his monitoring team inside the Academy.

Zaturn Alheim, 17 years old. He is from the gathering group. He's the support of this temporary gathering team. 17th rank.

Luca's looking at a window panel. "Aside from that, I sent three drones around the perimeter. If there's danger near us. The alarm will automatically be trigger in order to inform us."

Luca Hernandez, 16 years old. Also outfielder and a healer. He's the one assign to monitor the place for any impending threats. The 18th rank.

"By now, there aren't any movement. This place is too peaceful. Terribly peaceful I must say," puna ni Collen.

Collen Coile, 18. He's a defender. With his massive body size and strength, he also can create sturdy shields. Moreover, he is a long range fighter. 16th rank.

"Be vigilant of the silence. We don't know what they can do to us. Right, Autumn?" tanong ni Alice sa katabi nito.

Alice Saturnino, 17 years old. Infielder who owned a specialized VOX Weapon. She might look innocent because of her, being from the elf race, but looks can be decieving. She rank 14th in the whole Academy.

"Always," Autumn mumbled.

Autumn Revotsky, also 17. Infielder, 13th rank. She has long straight raven hair and a pair of sharp red eyes. She's a vampire from the land of Ashtaroth. She possesed strong pressure and killing instinct. Terrifying.

The team consisted of strong member. Though, they are not from the Oracle Knights, they aren't less powerful. This mission is not simple. We are eight in total. Tamang bilang ng isang maliit na grupo para sa pagkuha ng mga specimen.

"We arrived in the outer region of the mysthic forest. I can see some vegetations that are already mutated." We heard Hailey's mellow voice.

Collen clicked his tounge. "Look at that! The trees are humongous! I never seen something spectacular and scary at the same time. Well, aside from the evil ones. They are scary enough."

Luca punched lightly on Collen's right shoulder. "Oh, shut it! Stop with your weird praises. Let's gather the specimen already."

Nagkibit-balikat ito bago sumunod kay Luca na pumunta sa isang lugar kung saan tumpok ang malagong halaman na may iba't ibang kulay. Nagsimula na silang mangolekta ng mga mutated na pananim.
