Silence quickly enveloped them as they heard the words come out of Persea's mouth. It was so quiet that even Asher could hear the fairy elder's heavy breathing followed by a shake of his head at the fact.
"Wait, Titanoboa?" Chronos furrowed his brows. "What kind of creature is that? I've never heard of such a strange name at all."
"Titanoboa, one of the creatures of darkness that has taken my elemental magic ability, and the power surpasses other creatures of darkness. As proof, I almost died when I met it." Persea continued to bow her head. "It's useless, I guess we can just give up now."
"No, Persea! I won't let that happen. I will defeat Titanoboa and restore your elemental powers. Believe me."
"Yes, Asher's right. The two of us will kick that creature's ass and make it regret the rest of its life."

Simultaneously they decided to run the quest and not long after, the fairy elder gave something to Asher. It was a glass bottle shaped like a conical tube and inside was a bright green liquid that looked the same color as the slime they had fought.
'Fairy elder gives you Antidote 2x'
"This potion is capable of neutralizing any type of poison, including the Titanoboa's. I'm sure you'll need this. Use it wisely."
"Thank you, fairy elder, Chronos and I will put it to good use."
"Uh, Uh, I'll accompany you to the cave." Persea covered her face using her wings. "If you don't mind."
"Hey, of course, we don't mind at all. Right, Ash?"
"Yes, of course. We'll be counting on you, Persea." Asher extended his hand towards Persea.
"Uh, well, I'd be more than happy to take you there" Persea smiled. "I'll do what I can."
'Persea joined the party.'
[Persea the water fairy can help you find items around the arena and scan the enemies you are about to face, making it easier for players to find their enemies' weaknesses].
They decided to go to the cave where Titanoboa came from. But before they leave, Chronos suggests going to the Weapon & Item shop first so that they can upgrade their weapons to be much stronger than the current ones, considering that Titanoboa is not an easy opponent to defeat.

"I guess everything is ready. Now it's time to defeat those fucking creatures." His eyes shone, radiating a fiery spirit.
"Right, I think we should-"
"Wait. Wait a minute!" The fairy elder shouted as he flew towards Asher with his gasping breath. "I, I need your help."
"Quest 7: Searching for the missing fairies 2/5 (part 2)"
Recommended player level: lv 8-10
Reward: 300 gold coins, 2x fairy shoes, 3x bombs,
The fairy elder received news saying some fairies who were responsible for gathering materials in the Mist Forest where some of the orcs live, have not returned until now. He is worried that the fairies might have been captured by the orcs in the forest. Number of fairies to save (5 fairies).
Recommended class: Magical swordsman, Ranger, Thief, Monk.
"Wait, wait a minute I'm lost. We haven't run the previous quest yet but another quest has already appeared. Can it be like that?"
"I don't know, but it seems like the game developer has designed something like this maybe to make the storyline in this game more real and interesting."
"Yeah, sounds reasonable." Asher stroked his chin repeatedly. "So, what do you think? Should we accept this quest or-"
"Done. I've already done it." Chronos patted Asher's shoulder vigorously. "Hurry up, Ash we don't have much time, we have to help the fairy elders find all the missing fairies."
Asher decided to accept the quest and the fairy elder told him the forest where the fairies had disappeared was covered with thick mist and groups of orcs, so it would be difficult for them to see in the mist.
"You'd better take this with you. I'm sure you'll need it."
'The fairy elder gave you a special potion'
"By using this special potion, you will be able to see through the mist, but the effect won't last long so you must save the fairies quickly before the effect wears off." The fairy elder patted Asher's shoulder gently. "I hope you can bring our family home."
"I will. We'll bring all the fairies home." Asher smiled and walked away from Altaria village with the others. "I promise."
As they walked towards the mist village, Persea didn't speak a single word and just kept mumbling incessantly. It sounded like a collection of bee sounds which was so annoying until Chronos' face gradually began to turn red and looked directly at Persea with a sharp gaze.
"Argh, stop! Stop mumbling. That sound is so annoying!"
"Uh, sorry...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you at all. It's just that I was trying to break the silence around this forest." Persea hugged her body tightly. "This atmosphere is making me uncomfortable."
"Persea, if you feel uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere, maybe we can talk to get rid of this kind of atmosphere."
"Uh, but... but I don't know what to talk about with you guys at all. I'm not used to starting conversations at all." Persea covered her face with her blue wings again. "I'm sorry."
"Never mind, just stop saying sorry, it's not entirely your fault either." Asher sighed. "Persea, there's something I want to ask you. Do you know anything about orcs?"
"Orcs are creatures that are different from other creatures of darkness. They use tactics to attack and always fight in small groups to defeat their enemies. These creatures are quite clever and they usually use tactics to attack."
"Sounds like we need to be very careful, Chronos."
"Hey, relax a little buddy." Chronos patted Ahser's tense shoulder. "They're just a bunch of dumb green things that aren't much different from the enemy we're fighting," he said mockingly. "I'm sure with my slash, we'll be able to defeat that bunch of stupid creatures with ease."
"Confidence is good, Chronos but -" Asher paused for a moment realizing the air surrounding him felt different. "Uh, what's the chill sensation? Do you feel it?"
"Yes, I can feel it." Chronos rubbed his palms together quickly. "Ash, look over there. It looks like a wisp of white cloud."
"Uh, uh it's not a white cloud. It's mist and it looks like we're already inside the mist forest" Persea swallowed her saliva followed by her tense face. "We, we have to be careful, that thing might, just might be around here."
Asher glanced around, but he didn't seem to see anything at all other than the mist that seemed to be thickening. They immediately took the fairy elder's potion and were about to drink it to see through the sea of mist. However, just as they opened the potion bottle, two arrows suddenly shot out from within the mist, shattering both bottles with ease.
" Shit, what, what's going on?" Chronos' face tightened. " Son of a bitch! Who the hell shot those arrows?"
"Damn, it's probably the orcs." Asher gripped his staff tightly, his face paled. " Dammit, all of you be careful, those things must be around here and they'll launch their next attack."
