Chapter 08

“Let’s not follow the road, they said,” Jimmy muttered, slamming his staff into a Demon’s gut. Hit points exploded, but the thing didn’t go down and he was out of mana. “It’ll be so much fun, they said,” he grunted and brought his staff down on the Demon’s back as it snarled up at him. “Oh piss off and die already!” He managed to get enough mana to do a Life Drain and the Demon collapsed, dead to the ground at his feet.

“Will you stop bitching already,” Maverick muttered as she shifted back.

“No I will not, because I still don’t understand why the hell we split up!”

“We split up because the map didn’t give enough detail to show exactly where she is and we don’t want to waste all day searching.”

Jimmy muttered under his breath. “Fine, fine, but I still think it’s a stupid idea.”

“You can think all you want, but I believe we found her.”

He perked up and looked to where she pointed through the trees. She brought up the map and pinged the location then sent a message to Bishop and Trajan. Jimmy crept closer, peering through the branches. A fire crackled outside the small cabin and a black cauldron was set in them. Yet, he couldn’t see the Red Witch herself, or anyone.

“We’re waiting for the rest of them,” Maverick whispered. “I’m not sure if she’ll treat us the same as she will Bishop.”

“You still think he’s acting weird?”

Maverick shrugged. “He was weird today. The fact that whatever Demon Lord is here is creating an army out of humans didn’t seem to matter much to him.”

“You think he’s getting tired of the game?” Jimmy would hate to see Bishop up and quit the game when they were barely halfway through but then, again, this game had put him through some crazy stuff. “Or maybe he’s tired of us?”

“No, he’s not going to quit the game,” Maverick argued. “It’s something else. It’s almost like he’s numb, or acting numb. But on the bright side, he hasn’t said anything about Valen talking to him the past few days.”

Jimmy knew it bothered her more than she admitted, but he let it go for now. Bishop and the rest of their guild would be there soon enough and he wanted to get going on these quests to save Chesterville and the rest of the territory from Demons. He checked through his inventory to see how low he was on potions since they hadn’t been able to stock up while they were in the last town. Not with Demons watching them constantly.

“Who do you think is doing this?” he asked Maverick, watching the trees behind them for their group.

“I’m going to guess one of Valen’s generals. Demon Lord number five?”

Jimmy heard rustling behind him and whipped around, but there was no one there. The birds stopped singing and it was utterly silent. He frowned, gripping his staff hard as he did a slow turn all the way around. Maverick started to shift when suddenly she stopped and fell to the ground.
