NOVEL NEXT Chapter 321: Face Your Fear
[Next Day.]
[Wilderness.]
Apate and the three commandments watched as ten vehicles stopped 50 yards from their location.
She smiled as Leo, Nora, Supreme and the rest of their group got down from the cars.
**Welcome.**
Her voice reverberated all over the wilderness, reaching the fighters and players.
"We meet again."
Supreme said with a twisted smile.
**Yes Supreme, Or should I call you the Ruler of the Abyssal?**
Supreme and everyone was stunned.
"Wow! I can't believe we got welcome by such shocking news!!!"
Chen said with a smile, then asked: "What Is the Ruler of the Abyssal?"
**.....**
Apate stared at him like he had grown an extra head.
**Potentate and Leo would know what the title of the Ruler of the Abyssal represent, right?**
She directed the question to Leo, and Potentate.
"Stop talking, Apate! We aren't here to chat!" Potentate said with killing intent.
**I know that.**
Apate sighed, she looked down at her feet, then at them.
**Can't I let you say some few words before you die?**
The fighters frowned slightly, while Supreme, and his group, slowly moved their gazes around the place.
**Ok! You're all here to fight, let's fight.**
Click...
Supreme moved his gaze on the ground. Thanks to his cheats and Skills, he heard the inaudible sound around them.
"MOVE BACK!!"
He yelled, but was a bit late.
BOOM!!
The ground beneath them shattered like fragile glass, and both them and their cars fell into an endless pit.
Apate walked towards the pit, and looked down with a smile.
**You can only escape the formation if you have a strong mind defense... Get ready, while they are trap in there, we'll be destroying their Base.**
The three Commandments nodded.
____
BAM!!!!
They all fell heavily on a cold iron floor. Supreme and his group stood up, and slowly moved their gazes around the space, seeing nothing but darkness.
Whoosh!!!
All the torches placed on the wall lit up, illuminating their surroundings.
Supreme moved his gaze around, raised his bracelet and tried to reach Dark-Angel.
< ERROR!! >
< Reason: Player Supreme, you're in a formation created with the blood of 100 Angels... You must destroy the formation and escape.>
Supreme was flabbergasted, this was the first time AI was blocked, maybe the first in all VRG years of being active.
"Are you guys?" He looked at his group, who nodded at him.
"This was their actual plan!! Shit!! Mira and Maria are in the Base! And with us trap in here, we won't be able to help or even ask about their situation!!"
Blood-Arrow yelled in mild frustration.
"Calm Down, Let's Try to Summon our pets."
Queen-of-death suggested. The group nodded, and called out their pets, but nothing happened.
"You guys don't get it, AI is sealed, that means your Mana are all sealed... Try and use your Powers."
The elders, Jasmine and Ghost looked at one another, then tried to use a skill, but nothing happened.
"Fuck!!! We can't use a skill?! Summon our weapons! And even Call on our pets!! We're simply sitting ducks here!!!" Red-Encounter yelled in rage.
Supreme snapped a finger and a vortex appeared behind them.
"....."
"You can use a skill?! How?! All our Mana have been sealed!!" Red-Encounter was dumbfounded.
"My skills don't require Mana, But the issue here is... I can't seem to create a Vortex that'll take us out from whatever this place is."
He moved his gaze around the place.
"Wait, Apate said something about you being the Ruler of the Abyssal? Is that true?" Zuko asked in mild confusion.
"Yes, I just discovered it soon days ago." Supreme answered.
"Mr Supreme, there seem to be a curse in this place." Leo walked towards them.
"I don't get--"
"--AHHH!! CLOWNS!!"
His word was interrupted by Blood-Arrow's fearful scream. He quickly walked up to her.
"What?" He asked.
Blood-Arrow quickly threw herself in his hands, her faced plunged in his chest.
"What happened?" He asked in mild confusion.
"Clowns! There are everywhere!! All around me!! Ahh! They're walking towards me!!!"
Supreme frown hearing the fear and dread in her tone... He looked around them seeing not even a single clown in sight.
"There are no clowns."
Blood-Arrow was Silent for a moment, then slowly removed her face from his chest, when she looked around, she saw hideous clowns staring at her with bloody daggers in hand.
"Ahh!!!"
She quickly placed her face on his chest again. "No! There are everything!! They are armed! They want to kill me!!"
Supreme was getting even more confused.
"Don't worry, she's ok... This place is messing with our Fighters' minds... Look."
Supreme followed Leo's finger, seeing half of his people already on their knees, holding their heads and Ears... Their eyes shut tight... Even Nora.
"What ever this place is, It Manifests someone's most inner fear, and portray it to them in person." Leo said.
"NO! NO! I'M SORRY JANET!! NO!"
They stared at Nora who was screaming with her eyes close, Potentate was beside her, trying to snap her out of it.
"Thanks goodness I'm not scared of anything."
Red-Encounter said with a smile, the next moment, he leaped into the air, landing behind Queen-of-death.
"GHOST!!!!!"
He yelled in horror.
Before their eyes, more of their members dropped to their knees, screaming in both Horror and dread.
"This..."
Supreme moved his stunned gaze around, it was rare to see him lost... At for the moment, saying lost was an understatement.
"What should we do?"
He asked, Seeing as Jasmine, Zuko, Spectra, Chen, Scarlett, already fallen victims to the formation.
"I don't know... Some of these guys might not have fears, but they surely have some bad memories... And the apocalypse only made it worse." Leo sighed deeply, and looked around.
"So we're the only ones still standing?"
Supreme asked, staring at Leo, Queen-of-death, Prince-of-Casmia, Ghost, Potentate, Mrs Sham, and Vanilla. Explore stories on M V L
"That's only possible because one of us either has a skill that protect their minds, or have a very powerful mind resistance." Queen-of-death said, looking at Red-Encounter who was still hiding behind her, a smile on her face.
"Brother?"
Supreme frowned hearing a hoarse voice beside him.
He looked at his right, seeing Dark-Angel standing there with her head on her palm, blood flowing out from her neck.
".....?!!!!"
