"To the bartizan, quick!" Silvio immediately instructed to which we obediently did as we were told.

Desperately running for our lives, we were able to save ourselves by hiding inside the overhanging turret attached to the corner of the outer wall. The demonic eyeball then crashed to the thick outer wall, destroying a small portion of it.

All of us released a sign of relief but we all know fully well that it isn't the end just yet and there are more coming to us. That terrifying creature, it just looked exactly the same as the normal demon eyes. Its only difference is the size and its destructive power. It's also no doubt faster than the normal ones.

"We could still attack here inside through the arrowslit but we gotta be careful. That huge monster seems to have a strength capable of destroying thick and sturdy stones. Just a few attack on this tower could potentially destroy it but we can't just rashly go outside so we must think throughly as to when it's the right time for us to settle to the next battlement with other terrarians," said Silvio, rummaging through the golden chest full of bullets to gather more ammo for himself.

He urged us to do the same thing but stopped halfway upon realizing something. "You can just rest here for the moment, Amber. While we deal with the monster, avoid putting yourself in danger."

I just nodded in silence, feeling a little bit of uselessness at the current moment. Silvio is right. Mage is pretty much useless inside bartizan. The projectiles of a mage's staff is barely fit through the narrow arrowslit. Even if it somehow managed to get through the small gaps, It'll not hit anything because the casting time takes a few seconds and not to mention the projectiles is slow as fuck. I also can't predict if my field of vision is obscured by some walls. Only ranger class is suitable in this tower because of the speed of their ammo and it's fit perfectly through the small gap, not to mention it is also a perfect shooting place for ranger class that need protection, the only sole reason we were outside is because of their need in more vision. Because of the gigantic demon eye, it's not as safe as before anymore hence we were forced inside this tower.

"Tsk! Fucking useless." I heard Jake muttered. Both Silvio and Buffy didn't hear Jake's remark because they were already busy dealing with the flying monsters followed by an ear-piercing shriek coming from the gigantic demonic eyeball.

I sat on the cold stone, hugging my knee to comfort myself and ease my nervousness. Cries and struggles of either my fellow terrarians or the soldiers of Sven Kingdom filled the surroundings. I tried to reframe myself from going in danger but my curiosity and my body betrayed me. Slowly, i lead my way to the door and peeked slightly to see the situation outside, even thinking if i could be of a help if i were to deal with monsters through the door. It's dangerous and risky but I've always hated the feeling of being a burden and for some stupid reason, my fear always reign over my feelings that i was never able to overcome this obstacle. So even i ended up getting myself killed, just this once, I want to overcome this and find a way somehow to remove this unpleasant feeling by contributing to this historic battle that might decide the humanity's fate.

Everything outside is a mess and full of blood in any corner. We were not being overwhelmed by the swarm of monsters, in fact i could tell that they aren't having a hard time against the horde of monsters. The only things that worries me the most is the terrifying giant demon eye. With its presence alone, it already affected our chance of winning. What more if it goes on a rampage, it'll heavily destroy our formation and it even have the power to kill us on the spot.

I frantically searched around looking for it. But by the time i found the creature, it was already too late. It came crashing to the tower we were currently in. The bartizan was destroyed it in half and pushed the three ranger, who were in its range, off of the wall.

It is way more stonger than it first attacked... how's is it possible?

Does it perhaps grow stonger as time passed by?

I was just in utter shocked, standing completely frozen from what i have just witnessed. I don't what to say nor what to do as if my brain suddenly stopped working but it was only for a while. As it finally starts functioning once again, load of thoughts came flooding inside my head rendering me to think properly. Even amidst this chaos and panic, the first thing my instinct told me to do was run for my life.

I ran while in a state of panic. I was so terrified of the giant monster that i completely disregards of the other monsters and the goblins, allowing a single drippler attack me in which resulted to pushing me off of the wall to the outside of Sven Kingdom.

Regret is the first and only thing i felt after that very moment. I wasn't able to maintain my composure and just let panic take over. It's foolish of me. I'm useless, I'm no of a help to the Sven Kingdom. Owen is right. I'm not the same Amber anymore. I'm not the same composed Amber, not the same person who always know when and how to avoid danger.

Just how did i end up like this?

Before i knew it, a creature, to which i recognized as a wolf, caught me midair to save me from the fall impact. It looked so similar to Wendy, my fennec fox, but with a color of light brown and bigger size. It was biting on my vanity clothes and soon then flipped me gracefully to its back indicating that it is letting me to mount itself. "The was dangerous. I didn't expect it to be that powerful." It said. Its voice sounded so familiar but i couldn't put my finger on it as to whose voice it is.
