Mystical Awakening Online: SotPM [Part 2] (CPN)

Chapter 263: Slip of the Dagger

We sat in the back waiting for the signal, then we saw a volley of arrows fall from above.

From what I could see the outpost circular was mostly open area with a few places to take cover.

We couldn't see anything, however we heard constant shouting and screaming.

However, despite the showers of arrows and explosives raining down those within the outpost those within did not try to flee as anticipated. We sat there waiting for anything to happen, then we spotted from above the first volley of fire-arrows.

"Tsubasa, Leilianna, wait here," I heard Cyrus say.

Both Xuelian, and Cyrus stood to a low crouch.

"Were are you going?" I asked.

"Yeah, what's going on? that wasn't the signal."

"We need to take care of our job." Xuelian said in a voice so low I barely heard her. I quickly put two and two together; Arthorias had chosen the first volley as their signal.

They both disappeared silently through the underbrush together. Throughout the groups that were spread around the outpost we heard faint rustling, and muffled sounds and the occasional low scream that was quickly silenced.

From the sounds alone I could tell it was painful.
