["IT IS FUCKING EMPTY!"] – shouted Maparapara via {Chat – Video Call}.
"...Are you-"
["NO! I’M NOT FUCKING WITH YOU! I REALLY FUCKING FOUND IT!"] – shouted Maparapara before Phantasia could even finish speaking.
["AND IT IS FUCKING EMPTY!"]
["YOU HEAR ME?! FUCKING EMPTY!"]
["I’VE FUCKING STARTED TURNING THIS PLACE UPSIDE DOWN! BUT IT WAS FUCKING WORTHLESS!"]
["AND THEN I FUCKING FOUND IT! BUT WHEN I WENT INSIDE!? GONE! I EVEN FOUND THAT FUCKING ALTAR AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE REAL FUCKING DEAL!"]
["I FOUND 3 FUCKING TEMPLES! 3! AND EACH ONE WAS ALREADY FUCKING EMPTY!"]
"...Oh.... Wow..." – said Phantasia as he didn’t knew what to say as Maparapara continued raging.
"..."
(Oh wow. We are fucked.) – thought Phantasia.
(There is fucking seventh divinity user out there and we don’t know who they are... Wow....)
"..."
(Okay. This is fucking stupid.)
(The fact that we don’t know who it is beyond fucking annoying.)
(There could be countless fucking suspects and what nots.)
(Obviously one may think that Apple is 100% the main suspect, but what about the fucking Diamond and Arthur who also had divinities?! They may had fucking found out about the-)
"FUCK!" – shouted Phantasia in annoyance.
"..."
[*Sigh*]
["Please tell me you had found the temple yourself?"] – asked exhausted Maparapara.
"Nope. Still looking." – said Phantasia as he stood on top of the hill made out of blue rocks while a molting purple lava stream.
"Honestly speaking, this place maybe no monsters, but the fucking burn and poison damage here is off the charts."
["Hm? Poison?"]
"Well, despise being fucking place covered in freaking flames, the lava here is extremely poisonous."
"Hell, some of the undeads died from poison status."
"Undeads."
"Well, to be more exact, this place applies debuff known as {Melting}, which not only deals damage but also nerfs all the stats."
"Honestly speaking, if I didn’t had this new body and equipment ready, just entering this would fuck me over." – said Phantasia as he was exploring the dangerous territory in his new body equipment, which made Phantasia look like some kind of heavy armor wearing knight with thick coat that did not resembled one bit his usually equipment.
"...Look... I know this is pain in the ass and everything... But unfortunately speaking, we have to suck it up."
"Both you and me."
"Go to the next targeted zone."
"But please be ready to move out just in case."
"If I find the divinity here, I want you to come here and claim that divinity as soon as possible."
"With things like this, we don’t know if we could possible obtain all 5 divinities."
["...I understand."] – said pissed off Maparapara.
"Wait! Before you end the call."
"I want to ask something."
"Was the altar opened up? Or destroyed?"
"..."
["It was opened up."] – said Maparapara before then ending the call.
"..."
*Sigh*
(Welp, things just got... Fucked.) – thought Phantasia as he continued his exploration.
(Just how many divinities are left for the taking?)
(The altar wasn’t destroyed but instead opened... That probably means the divinity was taken.)
(...For fuck sakes.) – thought Phantasia as he sat down on the rock in order to gather his thoughts.
(There is also fucking problem that we don’t know WHEN the divinities were taken.)
(Expect for the chain related divinity.)
(But what about the two other divinities?)
(WHEN exactly were they taken?)
(Somewhat recently? Or maybe long time ago?)
"..."
"Yeb... This is beyond problematic." – said Phantasia as he stood up and began his search once more.
(Still, we should be thankful for Maparapara at least finding the temple somewhat fast this time, she didn’t needed to waste countless days to just find something.)
"..."
(Honestly speaking, there is a good chance that the divinity here was claimed.)
(There is a good chance that the enemy used the same kind of prediction method I’ve used.)
(If they really did, then we maybe fucked.) – thought Phantasia as he continued exploring the dangerous territory.
"?"
However, while Phantasia was exploring, he noticed something moving in the distance.
"..."
(Somebody is here.) – thought Phantasia as he quickly and quietly headed towards his destination, making sure that nobody could see him.
"Shit! Are you sure this is a place?!" – asked a player A in thick coat.
"It should be! Keep looking!" – said the player B in thick coat as he and 3 other players were searching the area.
"..."
(Bastards.) – thought Phantasia as he dug his claws into the wall and watched from above the players.
(Random ass players searching the area?)
(A group of them non the less.)
(...They don’t wear any symbols or anything....)
(But what are they here for? There are quiet few rare materials here.)
(But... Is it a temple?)
(I can’t be sure of it yet... Then again-)
"God fucking dammit!" – said the player A as he was almost hit by the bubbling purple lava.
"Even with protection, we are slowly fucking dying! Are you sure this fucking temple is here!?"
"..."
(Ah...) – thought Phantasia.
(Oh... That... Huh.)
"For fuck’s sake! Keep your mouth shut! Will you!?" – said pissed off player B.
"If-"
The pissed off player was yelling at his comrade in annoyance... But as he did, something suddenly smashed from above at the man, smashing and crushing the entre area as the cloud of dust instantly kicked up.
"!?" – every single player instantly noticed the scene... But before they could even take out their weapons, they began hearing a sound of something... ’TEARNG’... Before in the next moment a sound of something snapping could be heard, fallowed up with something being thrown out of the cloud of dust.
"?!" – the players saw it... A head of the player B which was rolling on the ground.
The players instantly took out their weapons upon seeing it... But just as they did, the figure from the cloud of dust leaped out of it and instantly pierced right through the chests of two players, making the claws straight up emerge from the other side of their bodies, before moments later the attacker took out his arms out of their bodies and the ripped in half their heads.
"?!"
"WHO ARE YOU?!" – shouted the player A was the last person standing... But Phantasia didn’t responded and instead leaped at the man, ripping him apart before he even say anything else.
"..."
(WELP! FUCK ME IN THE ASS!) – thought Phantasia.
(Honestly there was really no other way around it... But still.)
(I’ve fucking exposed myself.)
(I’ve fucking exposed myself that I’m hunting for the freaking divinity!)
(Still, my current equipment doesn’t really look like my trade mark plague doctor look and what not... But still.... Fuck.)
(Things are really fucked right now, isn’t it?!)
(There are other people here beside me hunting for divinity?!)
(Things... Really are spiraling out of control.)
