White Online
chapter-67

Isaac and Black Arrow Guild had waited for Darth to come back for almost half an hour now. Few of them got nervous, but soon, running footsteps echoed in the darkness.

Everyone aimed their bows towards the noise, but then they saw Darth appearing.

''Darth-chan!'' Queen Diana smiled, ''How did it go?''

''They apologized,'' Darth replied with a nonchalant tone.

Queen Diana clapped her hands and stood up, ''That's excellent! I guess it's time to return to the Guild. Here is nothing to hunt anymore, unless we enter other territories, but that can cause a Guild War.''

Everyone nodded. Golden Crown had already left to prepare for Duo Dungeon.

''Wraith, you coming?'' Darth asked.

But Isaac shook his head, ''No, it's fine. Thanks for letting me tag along.''

Darth nodded and patted Isaac's shoulder, ''Tomorrow morning, come to the Black Arrow Guild building, sell your items to us, and after that, we can start our journey to the Duo Dungeon.''

Isaac nodded and watched as Darth and others walked to the darkness.

The campfire which lit up the surroundings died down, and now Isaac was left alone in the darkness.

He started aimlessly walking in the forest, trying to find one or two monsters for easy XP, but chances were slim.

For some, the dark forest could be a terrifying place. A monster or another player can pop out from anywhere, but Isaac wasn't afraid even slightest.

He walked for another 20 minutes, and then... A bright blue light came from the distance. It was like a beacon in this darkness.

Isaac curiously walked towards the light, and soon he saw the reason for the light.

There was a beautiful river, which was glowing! It was like there were hundreds of stars on the surface of the water. It was one of the most beautiful sights Isaac had ever seen.

He exited the forest and stopped in front of the glowing river.

''Camera mode,'' Isaac said calmly. A small camera appeared in his hand.

*Clank*

He took a picture of the river and said, ''Camera mode off.'' The camera instantly disappeared.

*Clank*

Isaac perked up his ears. He turned his head towards a mountain with a waterfall. He thought he heard similar noise of camera shuttering.

He stood up and made his way over to the waterfall, but gladly there was an easy path there.

Isaac arrived in front of the waterfall and narrowed his eyes.

He put his hand forwards and started moving closer to the waterfall.

His hand went past the waterfall, but it didn't hit a rock wall, which means there might be something behind the waterfall...

Isaac took a deep breath and ran through the waterfall, he was prepared to accidentally hit a wall, but instead, he entered a cave.

The cave was very dark, but there was similar blue light coming from the interior of the cave.

A sound of water dripping and a sound of Isaac's footsteps were the only things heard in the cave.

But Isaac was sure that he heard something here.

He exited the cave corridors and entered a large cave with blue crystals hanging from the ceiling and a lake in the middle of the cave!

''An underground lake!'' Isaac exclaimed and looked at the scene with sparkling eyes.

The glowing lake colored the cave walls in bluish colors.

''Camera mode.'' Again a small black camera appeared on his hand.

*Clank*

*Clank*

*Clank*

He took multiple pictures from the lake, walls, and about the blue crystals.

He smiled at the sight and was about to turn around, but then, he heard distinct footsteps nearing this place.

'Someone is coming here!' Isaac anxiously looked around him but only found one hiding spot.

Without further ado, he slowly started diving inside the lake, and soon his body was completely submerged.

Three figures entered the large cave.

The first individual was a young man with pale skin and a sicky-looking face. He was wearing baggy robes with pair of daggers on the side.

[Turmoil]

The second individual was a young woman with green robes and auburn hair styled in a ponytail. Her face was above average, with small eyes and a pointy nose. She was holding a greenish wooden cane with the tip slightly glowing.

[Luck]

The third figure was crouching and touching the ground. He had short brown hair with a leather shirt, but it also had fur of some animal, but that also gave the man an animalistic vibe. He had a wooden crossbow strapped on his back, while pair of axes was strapped next to his waist.

[Chase]

''Chase, where is he?'' Turmoil asked with impatience.

Luck looked around the cave with a narrowed gaze.

''The scent disappeared.'' Chase said, he clicked his tongue and stood up, ''The footprints showed that he entered this place but didn't leave.''

''Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?'' Turmoil asked with annoyance.

Chase looked at him with a dangerous gaze, ''Watch out, Turmoil, I am very close being tired of seeing your fucking face.''

''Hmph!'' Turmoil snorted, not showing even the slightest fear on his face.

''I think the Player that came here is still here somewhere...'' Luck suddenly said.

Their gazes turned towards the lake.

Chase grabbed his crossbow and pointed it towards the lake.

Turmoil unsheathed his daggers.

Luck was ready to heal these two if anything happened.

Isaac was trying to hold his breath, but his vision was getting blurry. Notifications kept popping up in front of him, signaling that he was about to die.

[You Lost -2 HP]

[You Lost -3 HP]

[You Lost -1 HP]

[You Lost -2 HP]

'Think Isaac... Think!' Isaac heard the footsteps coming closer.

The shadows already became visible, but the only way for anyone to notice him was if they walked all the way to the edge of the lake, and he was sure that they would do that.

Isaac quickly opened his Interface and took his Flintlock Pistol from the Inventory.

'I won't go down without taking one of you down.' Isaac used his legs and started swimming towards the surface.

Soon his head popped out of the water. He took a quick breath and aimed his Flintlock Pistol at the Player nearest to the lake.

*BANG*

He pressed the trigger with strength and hoped for a headshot.
