“And…he just lost.”
DeSpanishINQ and NumbaJuan gave out a big sigh when they saw that Yeeticus got impaled by the machete. DeSpanishINQ slumps on his knees and groaned.
“Should we go?” NumbaJuan asks.
“Why bother? We’re too far away to do anything and unless he dropped [Haste] and [Stamina Regen] we can’t go anywhere.”
“Want to kill the NPC then?” She asks nonchalantly.
DeSpanishINQ didn’t gave her a reply. Instead he just stares blankly and swipes the air in front of him while releasing a sigh every now and then.
Leaving him alone, NumbaJuan walks towards Bob who is kneeling in front of Yeeticus’ corpse. Still farther away from then she took her staff from her inventory and holds it with her left hand. She stood atop a stump looking down on them from the slope.
[Elemental]
[Fire]
A fire emerges from her right hand then she hurls it towards Bob, but because of the distance she couldn’t hit him.
“Too far…” she whispers
[Elemental]
[Fire]
Another fire emerges from her right hand. She pulls her shoulder back and this time tries to properly aim it at Bob who is now rushing towards her with the machete in hand. She throws the ball of fire towards him again but he was able to completely evade it.
“That’s it…come closer…”
[Elemental]
[Earth]
Her hands glow a yellow light then puts forth her hand and waited. Bob is rushing towards her. When he got closer, she clencher her fist then the land surrounding him began to shift causing him to fall out of balance. She smirks at the confused farmer then uttered another word
[Entangle]
Vines smaller than the one he saw earlier, started sprouting from the ground near him and binding him to the ground. He’s already on his knees and the vines caused him more trouble. He struggles to get out of the vines with brute strength and tries to free his right hand that is holding the blade. He is almost finished
“I’m not done yet.”
[Sapping Vines]

A small tremor reverberated around him and bigger versions of the vines sprung forth and grabs him. It’s the same ability that she demonstrated earlier. A green glow emanates from it as it tightens its grips on his body. He sunks lower as if he’s being swallowed up by the earth but he’s still holding on.
Then a howl echo right near them. From the shadows of one of the trees, Agta jumps forth and lunge towards NumbaJuan throwing her off balance. The grips from the veins loosen and he was able to cut the smaller vines then squeeze through the bigger ones.
“Agta!” He shouted.
Agta is dragging the poor girls’ cape which made her unable to hold on to her staff properly.
“Help me!” She shouted at her companion.
DeSpanishINQ notices what was happening and was taken by surprise. There was no sighting of wolves when they got to the peninsula. He bolts towards her while brandishing his sword, then he leaps holding his short sword over his head and shouted.
[Vertical Cleave]
A blue wave escapes from the sword and head towards Agta hitting her directly. Agta whimpers as he got blown back by the wave. He tries to do another swing but Bob attacks him and made him block it.
“Are you okay?” DeSpanishINQ asks NumbaJuan fixing her clothes and looking at her torn cape.
“What took you so long? My clothes are ruined.”
“Enough of that, I just inspected the wolf. There was no prompt.”
“What!?”
“Something is off with this map. You can’t inspect anything.”
While they are talking with each other, Bob on the other hand head straight towards Agta who’s fallen on the ground with a shallow cut to his body.
“Shhh… It’s okay, I’m here.” Bob caresses his fur while slowly looking at him.
Another rage boils within him when he saw the wound. He grips his machete and sprint towards the arguing adventurers.
“Look out!” NumbaJuan shouted.
DeSpanishINQ saw Bob running towards them and readies to block it. Bob swings his machete diagonally at him but he was able to deflect it.
[Vertical Cleave]
He swings his sword glowing in blue light and the same colored wave appeared and hit Bob on his right shoulder.
‘It goes through my blade’
Another howl resonated from the farm; it was Atga. She then grabs the axe that is stuck at a stump and carries it with her mouth towards Bob. She leaps over DeSpanishINQ and NumbaJuan is quite uncertain of what is happening.
Bob jumps and catches the axe with his left hand, wielding two weapons that he is familiar with. He looks over his shoulder dripping with blood then tighten his grips and readies himself to attack.
“That was cool.” DeSpanishINQ whistles at what he saw.
NumbaJuan looks at him unamused, she flips her hair then stretches forth her hand and uttered something. Then they were both surrounded by a green glow. Some of the injuries they had on their bodies began to disappear slowly.
Bob signals Atga and they did the first attack. He swings his machete first which was blocked by the sword, then with his axe he sweeps him right off of his foot. Atga rushes towards NumbaJuan pounce at her toppling her off. She grits her teeth then hold out her right hand. A swirling vortex appears of her hand and pointed it towards Atga. There was no injury but the gust made Atga hold her place to the ground.
DeSpanishINQ is on the ground still blocking the machete with the incoming axe coming towards him again. He grunts then shouted.
[Warrior’s Might]
A strength that wasn’t shown earlier builds up, giving him enough strength push the machete and deflect it. Then he rolls over to avoid the axe that slams to the ground where his body would have been. Bob heard Atga’s whines and runs towards her, leaving his back open to attack. DeSpanishINQ took the chance to attack him and chases after him.
NumbaJuan stood up while still maintaining the vortex coming out of her right hand and pointing it towards Atga. Bob lunges forward and with his axe cuts her hand off. She screams and with her last breath he pierces her chest with the machete.
Behind him, Atga falls over after taking the blow that was supposed to hit him.
