[Meet Efferus and Inform Him of Your finding]
Mylo was still hiding in the tree, he couldn’t move or the chimera would notice him. He had no choice but to wait. However the chimera was currently examining the sage flower, if he decides to consume it there wouldn’t be anything to help him hide his tracking sent. He had to move and quick.
The chimera was circulating around the flower examining thoroughly , not given any interest to the boar corpse. Mylo decided to descend the tree , either way he would have to leave his hiding spot best do it when it’s distracted. “Slowly…slowly…good.”
Mylo managed to reach the ground, the chimera was still examining the flower. Mylo slowly tiptoed the opposite side of the chimera still making sure to be behind the tree not to get noticed. “Tip…Toe…Tip…To-“
*Crunch*
Mylo stops all movement and slowly turned around. Making a strange creaking sound as he turns his head.
*Creeeeeek*
The chimera was still standing near the flower but his attention was elsewhere. His eyes were watching straight at Mylo’s eyes.
Three seconds later…
“H-hello… do not mind me, I’m just a tourist in the area… Well…good day now!”
“…”
“…”
Mylo once again slowly turn back to his original position, as he took his first step…
“ROAR”
The next one wasn’t slow to follow suit. Mylo ran as fast as he could, the chimera right behind him. Thanks to his movement speed gear he could gain a certain advantage compared to a bear that has a turtle shell that should weigh a ton. Is what he thought…”AH, HOW ARE YOU ALREADY NEXT TO ME!”
“ROAAAR”
*BANG*
The chimera uses his giant bear claw and easily obliterated the tree that was separating him and Mylo.
“SHHHHIIIITTTT!”
Mylo made sure to always stay behind a tree in order to block the bears attack. As his tough only focused on reaching the gates of the kingdom. He has already reached the populated zone filled with players hunting mobs in order to level up. The heavy noise made further in their location made the players put their full attention on that area.

“What is that noise?”
“You guys hear it too?”
“It’s coming out from there!”
“Huh? A player?”
“Why is he running so maniacally?
“Wait, forget that player? What is that behind him?”
“Huh? I can’t properly see there’s dust hiding it.”
Mylo noticed the players watching. He then tough of a good plan to help him.
“IT’S A BOSS!!!”
“What?”
“A boss?”
“FREE FIELD BOSS HERE!”
The screams of Mylo wasn’t unnoticed all the players in groups either a party formed of random players, friends or even guild members rush to where they heard the scream in order to gain the boss loots.
“Where the boss?”
“I don’t know, the guy running this way is screaming that there’s a boss behind him.”
“Hm, HEY YOU! WHERE’S THE BOSS?”
“BEHIND ME.”
“WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?”
“DO YOU THINK I CAN SOLO KILL A BOSS MONSTER ON MY OWN? HELP ME!”
The player that asked the question smirked at Mylo replay and said,” IF YOU DON’T ASK FOR COMPENSATION BECAUSE YOU FOUND THE BOSS, WILL HELP YOU DEAL WITH IT. DEAL?”
“DO WHAT YOU WANT JUST DON’T LET ME DIE.”
“HAHAHA, OKAY! GUILD MEMBERS OF FROST LUST GATHER UP! LET’S HELP THIS NOOB!”
“YES SIR!”
Mylo ran past the group and whispered to them from behind “don’t die too fast”.
But no one reacted to that comment. Because none of them heard him, all their attention was on the boss coming their way.
“GET READY, IT’S A BOSS MOB. WE CAN’T FAIL HERE. WE MUST BRING THE LOOTS IT DROPS TO BIG SISTER AMILIA. UNDERSTOOD.”
“YES SIR!”
“TANKS, TAUNT IT!”
The tanks gathered in front of the party. And used the skill Taunt acquired by the warrior paths. There were many connected path related to the warrior class. When choosing the warrior path one could choose to be an attack variant or a defence variant. The same could be said for other classes. Another example could be the cleric class. Some choose the paladin class for its tanking capacity, other choses the exorcist, allowing them to deal heavy damage to the dark entities using their holy attribute powers and finally the priest whose speciality is healing teammates.
“COME HERE!!!”
The tanks used their taunting skill in order to be the target of focus, instead of Mylo. But soon the guild member’s expression changed, they realized their mistake as soon as the monster was within the allowed distance for the use of the inspection skill.
“WHAT IS THAT?”
“Y-YOU BASTARDDDD!!!!”
“RUN! RUN NOW!”
“ARGHH”
With no way of escaping their losing situation, one after the other fell to the chimeras relentless and brutal attack. The other side desperately fought their enemies while realizing there was no meaning in doing so. Some have succumbed to terror and are no longer capable of moving, let alone defending themselves all because of the ‘fear’ skill the chimera used to stop the boar’s movement.
“YOU… BASTARD…IL…REMEMB-“
In the distance Mylo could see the party leader dying and uttering his final words before he vanishes is millions of blue particles. Even though he couldn’t hear him from such a distance he could guess what he was saying.
“It’s survival of the fittest my friend, it’s not personal. But hey, thanks for your help.”
After a few minutes Mylo managed to reach the kingdom safety.
“What kind of quest did I even receive? Even though I didn’t fight him, Efferus better reward me well enough for the sole fact that I could have died.”
“Anyway, let’s head to the inn and report back to him.”
