''Earth Wall!'' An unknown female voice rang in the cave.
Chase and Luck turned their heads in shock and saw a beautiful young woman with black hair and bright blue eyes. She was holding a 1-meter long cane with a blue lining.
''Spellcaster!'' Luck cried out.
Chase turned his head towards Isaac, who should have already died, but then he saw a wall made of brownish earth, which blocked the arrows!
Some of the arrows pierced through the wall but couldn't reach Isaac's body, and some just broke.
Isaac didn't know what happened, but he quickly took two Flintlock bullets from his pouch and reloaded his gun.
Chase and Luck quickly hid behind the boulder.
The unknown Spellcaster looked at the scene with a pale and nervous gaze. This was her first battle against Players, and she didn't know what to do!
Isaac could finally look towards his savior. He saw her standing stiffly, completely open, without any cover.
''Take cover!'' Isaac shouted.
The Spellcaster flinched and looked towards Isaac with a shy look, ''A-Alright.'' She started running towards Isaac's spot, but Chase didn't make it easy.
He aimed the crossbow towards the Spellcaster and unleashed a flurry of arrows, but then a clanking noise came from the crossbow.
''Shit, reload!'' Chase grimaced and looked at the reloading time.
[59...]
[58...]
Crossbow is a powerful weapon, but the reloading time is ridiculously long.
Luck tapped the ground with her cane, and again familiar green color surrounded Chase's body.
[+50 HP]
[HP: 219/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]
The Spellcaster saw a couple of arrows flying straight towards her!
She paled, but she quickly pointed her cane towards the arrows and said, ''Wind Summon!''
A small burst of wind left the cane.
The arrows started shaking in midair, and their trajectory changed enough to miss her body.
She breathed relief and continued her journey towards Isaac.
Shortly afterward, she arrived next to him.
''Huff... Huff...'' She took a deep breath and wiped her sweat.
Isaac turned his head towards her and widened his eyes in shock.
She became shy under his gaze. She turned her head around and didn't know what to do.
''L-Luna?'' Isaac murmured with a shock.
The Spellcaster, also known as Luna, flinched in shock.
She turned her head towards Isaac, ''H-How... D-Do you know my name?''
''It's me, Isaac!''
''Eh...'' Luna looked at the young man in front of her with a shocked gaze. Isaac's face was quite dirty, which made his face look quite different, but now that she looked closely... There are many resemblances with the boy she met in the hospital.
''I-Isaac?'' Luna murmured with a tender voice, soon her face became rosy-colored, ''A-Ah...''
Isaac peeked behind the wall towards the wall and saw that they weren't doing anything.
He quickly submerged his face inside the water and washed the dirt from his face.
He had to use his hands; otherwise, the dirt just wasn't disappearing.
Soon, he was done, and he appeared next to Luna.
''See.'' Isaac pointed at his face, which was the very definition of beautiful.
''Isaac!'' Luna hugged his 170cm tall body, ''I missed you!''
She rubbed her cheeks with Isaac's soft cheek.
''I missed you too,'' Isaac said with a smile and patted her head.
''Nn...'' Luna nodded with happiness.
''What were you doing here?'' Isaac decided to ask.
''I saw a beautiful glowing river, and I decided to go check it out... Then I somehow ended up in the cave and saw even more beautiful lake!''
She giggled and continued, ''I started taking pictures, but suddenly I heard noises coming from the cave's entrance... I-I am not very good with people, so I hid!''
''Ah... I guess it was you, I heard.'' Isaac nodded with understanding, but then he asked, ''Why did you help me?''
''I-I thought they were bad people, ganging up on you...'' She shyly turned her head away, ''I-I wanted to help...''
''Thanks...'' Isaac pinched her cheek and continued, ''I would be dead without you.''
''Hehe.'' Luna blushed and smiled smugly.
Isaac tried to peek towards the boulder but was stuck on Luna's hug.
''Umm, can you let me go?'' He asked with a slight laugh.
Luna blushed even more. She let go of him and hid her face.
Isaac peeked towards the boulder and thought it was weird for him to not move.
'Reload...' Isaac narrowed his eyes. He turned his gaze back towards Luna and asked, ''Can you keep the Healer busy?''
''I-I can try.''
Isaac nodded. He took his second Flintlock pistol from the Inventory and waited for it to be reloaded.
After 30 seconds, there was finally movement behind the boulder.
Luck had already healed Chase, and now he had full HP, while Isaac only has 19 HP!
Chase was wary of the Spellcaster and didn't dare to attack with only his axes.
''Can you remove the wall and put it back instantly?'' Isaac asked.
Luna nodded, ''But, it will take a lot MP, and I might have only one attack in my arsenal before I go to cooldown.''
''That's fine, do it,'' Isaac said and pointed both of the Flintlock towards the direction of the boulder, but the wall was still blocking his sight.
Chase left his hiding spot and slowly started approaching the Earth Wall.
*Tap*
A tapping sound echoed in the cave, and suddenly the Earth Wall disappeared, and two figures became visible!
Chase urgently aimed his crossbow towards Isaac, but he had already shot his bullets.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Chase pressed the trigger of the crossbow and fired a dozen arrows towards Isaac.
*SWISH*
*SWISH*
*SWISH*
''Now!'' Isaac shouted, and Luna's cane again glowed, and out of nowhere, an Earth Wall appeared in front of them.
The arrows broke after hitting the Wall, while Isaac's bullets hit Chase in the torso and in the leg.
''Fuck!'' Chase grimaced and looked at how much HP he lost.
[-201 HP!]
[HP: 30/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]
He quickly limped back to the boulder. His movements seemed stiff after bullets pierced through his legs.
He could barely move his legs, let alone run.
But, before he could reach Luck...
Luna left the hiding spot and aimed the cane towards Luck, ''Fireball!'' A miniature ball appeared in front of her.
The fireball started flying like a cannon, and it didn't take long for it to reach Luck's position.
Luck paled and watched as the fireball hit her face.
*BOOM*
A small dust cloud appeared in the cave.
''Luck!'' Chase shouted, but then he got a message which told that Luck was dead...
''Useless! Everyone is useless!'' Chase grimaced and hid behind the boulder.
''I did it!'' Luna said cheerfully and sat next to Isaac, waiting for praise.
''Excellent!'' Isaac said with a grin.. He has to wait for his Flintlock to reload, then it's time to decide the winner of this battle.
