There was simply no easy way out of this.
The very next second, the four feral vampires began their assault on Gerald and Juno!
Watching as their claws extended toward the duo, Gerald quickly summoned his Astrabyss Sword before slashing the first feral vampire that got too close!
And just like that, the feral vampire that was slashed was cut clean in half!
With blood spewing out of their dead brethren, the other three feral vampires instantly began backing off.
After all, they now knew that Geraldâs sword was not to be taken lightly.
âCome at me if youâre not afraid to die!â growled Gerald as he glared at the remaining feral vampires.
Seemingly understanding what he had just said, the trio then turned around before bolting off.
While the crisis was now lifted, Gerald had come to learn that those feral vampires were actually rather timid. After all, they were easily scared and fled so quickly.
Regardless, Gerald then put away his sword before saying, âAlright, letâs leave this place before those feral vampires come back!â
With that, the duo resumed their journey with Gerald taking the lead⦠and half an hour later, they finally made it out of the forest.
Once they were outside, Gerald immediately took his phone out. Finally, some reception!
He had earlier planned to contact Ray and the others, though the forest naturally prevented him from calling.
Whatever the case was, there was reception now so it was high time he finally tried to contact Ray so that they could regroup.
To Geraldâs dismay, Ray wasnât picking up. Frowning slightly, he then tried a few more times. In the end, however, the result remained the sameâ¦
The fact that there was beeping as the call tried to connect meant that Ray definitely had reception. So why wasnât he picking Geraldâs call upâ¦?
Thinking about it, there were only two possibilities as to why this was, the first being that Ray and the others hadnât noticed the call.
The second, however, meant that they could very well have gotten themselves into trouble and were unable to answerâ¦
While it was unfortunate, Gerald had a hunch that the second possibility made more senseâ¦
After all, Ray was addicted to gadgets, so there was no way he would ever ignore his phone.
The fact that Ray still wasnât answering even though he had reception only solidified Geraldâs theory that something must have happened to them.
Seeing that Gerald was still trying to call Rayâafter quite a whileâthe concerned Juno was prompted to ask, ââ¦Do⦠You think somethingâs happened to them, Geraldâ¦?â
Furrowing his brow slightly at the thought of it, Geraldâs expression darkened as he nodded while saying, ââ¦Thatâs very possible, especially since weâve bumped into feral vampires here.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Ray and the others must have encountered them as well!â
ââ¦W-what? Then, theyâ¦â exclaimed Juno, her heart feeling heavy.
âDonât worry, Old Flintâs with them. If anyone knows how to deal with feral vampires, itâs him! With that in mind, the feral vampires shouldnât be able to hurt them that easily!â replied Gerald, attempting to reassure Juno though he wasnât all that sure about their safety either.
Still, he simply didnât want Juno to worry too much about them at the moment.
After all, the important thing now was to try regrouping with them.
With that in mind, the duo immediately began searching for their party members at the edge of the forest.
Not long after, they managed to come across a bag that looked strikingly similar to Rayâs⦠Upon rummaging through it, they found his mobile phone.
With that in mind, the bag undoubtedly belonged to Rayâ¦
No wonder he hadnât answered any of Geraldâs calls⦠He had been separated from his bag and phone!
While they at least knew why he hadnât been picking up now, Gerald and Juno were also much surer that something terrible mustâve happened to their other party membersâ¦
