Love is War

Chapter 35

Now I am happily looking at my inventory when I successfully grabbed the letter undetected from Anonymous but the down side is when I peeked, he just disappeared. Just like a bubble he just popped, nowhere to be seen in this place. But what’s important right now is I have the letter and it’s time to read it.

I opened my inventory and clicked on the letter icon to read it. I am very glad to see that the page is the eighth out of the 13 pages scattered in this church, meaning that I can see some useful information about the other enemies right now and I know what to do next time that I encounter them.

“Dear Mother,

I saw Elizabeth passed by today and she looks so lifeless and I can’t believe what I just saw mother, she just killed a man. I mean it literally; you may not believe it but she drained out the life of that guy and she dropped it like a worn-out toy. I don’t know, but the situation here looks going out of their control. Many were killed by Elizabeth as the time of the ceremony is approaching. I just can’t believe it mother and I am afraid.

I am still locked in this cage and Elizabeth tried to reach for me but thanks for this unbreakable cage, I managed to be safe from her and I saw, one of the cult members used a rosary to hurt her. Such irony for them, the rosary inflicted pain to her and I felt bad towards her. After that she became unconscious, and they proceeded to exorcise her and I learned that one of the demons that served under Lucifer possessed her body to make her worthy in front of the demon.

They are kind enough to gave me a pen and a paper so I can continue to write to you, I do not know if they will send it to you though. But if this reach you, I need help here.

Nina”

A rosary? Hmmm, ohh I remember grabbing one earlier, so I quickly pressed the Tab button and it opened my inventory tab. I searched on every item inside my inventory right now, I searched for it carefully and after minutes of searching I finally found the rosary.

I wonder if I can equip it, I pressed right click on that item and that showed the pop-up menu, and there I quickly pressed the equip menu. The inventory tab disappeared and there I saw my hand holding the rosary. I wanted to try something so I pressed T and the rosary switched to the only bottle of holy water that I got. I have no luck with essential items today so I will just hope that I can be lucky with this rosary.

I scrolled the scroll in the middle of my mouse and that just gave me quick access with my rosary. So, I will just hold onto this rosary and I stood up since I am not hiding from anything anymore. It’s time to search for Anonymous to see what he is doing and I will just hope that I will not encounter any enemies along the way. Especially Lucifer.

Another bell rang.

I looked into the game’s timer and there I saw that we are already 40 minutes in the game and another text appeared in my screen and I am sure that it also happened to the other’s screen. It says.

“He’s angry and he will come to get you.”

The same moment that it appeared on my screen I heard a scream from outside and it’s coming here. I immediately went under the table again to hide to whomever or whatever that creature is. I remained still and as the moments passes by the scream is becoming clearer and clearer.

I wish I could explain my expression right now furtherly as I recognized who is the one screaming. It’s avenger7 coming here not knowing that this is a dead end for him luring the other monsters inside this room.

When I just wished for things to go well for me, another bad omen just appeared out of nowhere. I really don’t know what to respond in this kind of situation. I think remaining still under this table would be the greatest.

“No, go away!” he shouted and I hear Nina and the maniacal Laughter of Lucifer from above. What should I do? Ahh frick it! I stood up and ran towards the stairs while Avenger7 is attracting the enemies. My heart is racing right now as I feel so much nervousness. “HEY!” he called onto me but just ignored his call because if I look back. It’s over for me. I don’t want to know that there is something chasing me. I really don’t want to know.  “HELP ME!” he said and i just continue on running.

I heard some footsteps going after me, and I continue on running and running, my eyes is turning in every corner possible, finding a good place to run into so I can hide.

“Hey!” I heard him calling onto me again and my nerves are about to explode on this guy right now. His unorthodox way is strangely keeping him alive and he is taking me with his bad luck. Why don’t you die? I mean don’t die yet... Die when I successfully hidden myself from the enemy because they will chase me after he dies.

“Go away!” I shouted at him angrily because my reach with the card is getting farther when he is behind me. I think that I should showed myself with Anonymous and cooperated with him since I can make his work easier, and I don’t think that he will reject my offer of helping him with his work since it will just produce the same outcome when he successfully opened the door.

I don’t know what are his intentions of winning but it is much better than being chased by this moron and dragging me too with death.

Not winning that card means death for me.

“GO AWAY!” he shouted as I am about to shoo him away again. If the developers decided to put a stamina bar in this game before we play this game. My situation right now is pretty much doomed right now. I am really thankful that they decided to not put that feature in the game but after seeing this gameplay they will probably add that but will remove the difficulty raiser as time passes by because it will make the game hard for the players to finish.

“THE LAST PIECE IS WAITING!”

Another text appeared in front of my screen I don’t know what it means but it distracted us from the chase which...

“Avenger7 is killed.”

Killed the annoying guy... Oh no, this is not the ideal situation for you to die. You are really pissing me off!

I want to punch this guy hard in the face, because thanks to him! I am chased by two terrifying enemies right now! AHHHH!

“THE DOOR IS NOW OPENED!”

Another text appeared in my screen again and this time, it’s like a blessing to me. Now time to escape this place. Now where is the door located that will head outside.

“Anonymous has escaped hell.”

Another text appeared again and that bastard made it harder for me to escape as I saw in front of me, that other demons are appearing chasing me and the sfx music became more intense and I think I am showering with my sweat right now!

So that is his plan! To make it harder for us to escape by escaping when our location is favorable to him. I can say that is a great plan but not for us!

The adrenaline rushed to my finger and my awareness became more sharper as I take unoccupied sharp corners but the sudden appearance of other enemies, inflicted damage to me but not that great. I looked at my mini map and the door is marked there.

But... the corners I took earlier made myself far away from those doors of salvation. Only 79 health points remain in my health bar, that’s a small price to pay to escape their grasp. I now have my path towards the door and I am assured that I will not end up with a dead end since the sudden appearance of this mini map and the marked location, is helping me a lot.

If this is real life, I can do parkour but the game’s programming don’t have such things. So I need to struggle. The character’s speed is fast enough to barely escape them. If this is intentional, I can say that this is brilliant outside of the tournament.

Oh please lord of game bless me with luck that I will be needing. I continue to run away from them and I am closing my distance to that door. I can hear the god of games favoring my side and I am such a blessed creature to receive that kind of blessings to me.

Later on, I saw a glimpse of the opened doors. I pressed hard on my W button and I remained concentrated with my surroundings so I can avoid enemies popping up out of nowhere. I don’t want to be killed...

Wait why? I can’t move my character. I repetitively pressed W so I can move but it did not happen. I looked below since there is an indicator and there, I saw a demon appeared from the floor grabbing my feet. HOW!? WHEN?!

Press E to escape.

I smashed the E button multiple time so I can escape. I am just meters away from that door. I successfully escaped its grasp but Lucifer is in front of me right now.

Oh no you don’t.

“warfreak101 is killed.”
