" NO! NO! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO WORK TONIGHT!"
/ SHING! SPLAT! THUMP!/
" Haah.... Haah.... Well... You should've mentioned that to your King."
11... 11 total Archers came after me... Archers? Hunters? Who gives a fuck anymore? I need to get out of this forest.
" That's what I've been telling you! Quickly! Take this chance and run!"
/ THUMP!/
" I'm on it!"
Before Lily could finish her sentence, I had already jumped down from the tree I had to chase the Archer onto. I started taking off again. A squad of 11 Archers all for one guy. I'd almost feel special if not for the fact they were all shooting their arrows at my head and vitals. Because of that, I really don't feel bad about attacking their vitals. The last one begged, but he aimed an arrow at my head as I approached him. We're at war and I was locked in a cell and was being brainwashed for 6 weeks. Because of that, I'm all out of sympathy, at least until I get back to Sarah and Anna. That's right, John. Every step is one back to them.
/ SWOOSH!/
" Oh come on!"
/ THOOM!/
" Oh shit!"
/ THUMP!/
I quickly ran behind a tree... That arrow... It's different. It's faster than the others! When it went into the dirt, the sound was like a cannonball landing. The crater... It's like a meteor hit the ground.
/ SWOOSH!/
Another one!? I got to dodge!
/ thump!/
Fuck! The tree!
/CLANG! WOOSH! CLANK!!/
The arrow hit... It sent me flying! It blasted me into another tree! It hurt, but I felt around, the armor held. Thank the Gods.
" You should thank my Makers, Little One."
" Them to!"
Julia corrected who I should thank. But this isn't good. I need to get out of this fucking forest!
/ SWOOSH!/
" Not again!"
I tried running this time... Good it went past me again.
/ THOOM!/
It landed; I took that as a sign to keep running. I think my best bet at this point is to just B line it out of the forest and Summon Hank. I'm sitting at around 70% of my Mana Capacity. I can't sit here all night fighting Archers. Honestly, I'm tired of the arrows. I've been here for 2 hours fighting, I've had enough.
/ SWOOSH!/
Another one!? Great! It's coming from my left! I start running to avoid it, it's working, I'm already past i-
/ THUNK! WOOSH! Thump!/
" FUCK!"
It struck me!? How the hell!? I got sent flying, but the Armor still held up, I got my footing back quickly and continued to run forward, I got to be faster! Whoever is attacking me, it's clear he's different from the others. From the arrows speed to its power, if it wasn't for the quality of Julia's Armor, the Dark Sentinel Armor, I'd have 2 arrows in me already. But the arrows are strong, I doubt the damage to the Armor is light. I need to get out of here. I pick myself up and started to run again. I must've not got out of the way like I thought I did.
/ SWOOSH!/
" This is getting ridiculous!"
This time it came from behind me, from the right, I keep an eye on it as I run, I watched the arrow as it diverted from its path and came closing in on me.
