At World's End Entry 91
(Daryl’s POV)It was unfortunate.Truly unfortunate… for the cadet that I just kicked though, not me.Hehe, the idiot thought he could outsmart me?He must be crazy!How dare he think to come for me?Which was why as my heel connected with his jaw, I had a bright smile on my face.Of course, my leg had screamed at impact since I was still hurting but I didn’t care.As long as the tar monster was occupied, I’d be able to escape.The bastard had a wrong expression on his idiotic face as he fell into the arms of the tar monster.He seemed on the verge of tears but before he could let out a sound, the creature impaled him through the chest.A pained scream rang out from the fool as he held the black stake protruding from his chest.I blinked at the scene at which point I caught from the corner of my eyes the bewildered expression of a fellow cadet.I recognized her.She was the one that had come up to me to inform me how I was the reason they managed to survive the crevice.Now not only d

It was hard to keep running for hours on end without being able to catch your breath for even a single moment with danger on all sides.But that’s exactly what we were experiencing at this moment.At first, it was exciting…No, what the fuck am I saying?It wasn’t exciting.From the start till now, we have been chased with our lives on the line.Just a single slip up and we’d all end up dead.We couldn’t even bother to worry about the others as our own lives were at stake.Honestly I’d have preferred if it were only the spider monkeys.It would have been so much better but then again, the Dreamer doesn’t want us to escape, no matter what.I didn’t expect it to react so strongly to us escaping but come on, where the hell is it getting so much energy from?Ugh, this is driving me nuts.BoomJust then a rough sound exploded at the side, revealing the walls changing again.Due to the abrupt change, we were forced to take an abrupt turn and it was at that moment that everything went to shit

With a broken heart, I slowly raised my head up to look at the one that struck me.A female cadet with brown hair cut in a bob and a boyish physique.Her skin was fair and her eyes were brown.Of course at this moment, her fair skin was quite red, especially her face and her brown eyes were bloodshot.It looked like she had been crying.I pursed my lips unsure of what to say as she glared at me.Her breathing was heavy and her arm was still stretched out, having not drawn it back after hitting me.Just like that we stood facing each other with our eyes clashing.Several seconds passed before I attempted to speak but just as I opened my lips… smack… she struck me again.This time it was the back of her palm and it hit harder than the first.In fact, I think I tasted blood.Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself and pulled myself together to face her.“I…”“Bastard!” she screamed at my face.“I…”“Liar!”“I…”“Betrayer!”I kept silent as it was clear she wouldn’t allow me speak.But even

Leah walked up to Justina and went on her knees before wrapping her arms around the latter.It was a touching scene… it was also a very painful one.I’d have never thought I’d hate myself as much as I did at this point.But I felt that way and it was all because of my stupidity.I led these guys into this place and caused the death of several.I can’t take that back and no matter what I say now, it’s pointless.I made the mistake and now I have to pay for it.That’s how it’s meant to be.Taking a deep breath, I made my decision and without hesitation, gazed at the crowd.From 120, we had reduced to a little over 90+. It was crazy.Absolutely crazy.From… wait, how many first year cadets went on the excursion?I glanced at Richard. “Hey.”“Is there a problem?” Richard still seemed shook at how Justina had shot him down.I guess he wasn’t used to such things happening.Oh please, suck it up!No need to be such a drama queen.Hmmph… oh yeah, I wanted to ask something just now.What was i

“Jerry, watch out!” Lincoln’s voice broke me out of my sensitive state as I quickly turned back tofind a tar monster rapidly approaching.Before it could strike at me however, a blue haired figure rushed past me and struck away the tar monster’s attack before slashing at its arms, effectively detaching it from the rest of it’s body.As the hands fell to the ground, they turned into ashes and quickly dusted away.The other tar monsters let out low growls, seemingly annoyed by the fact that they had lost their prey.At this point, Not only Isabella, even Reginald, and Leah as well as the other Council members had stepped forward.It seemed most of them opted for far range artilleries instead of close range, most likely because they were too terrified to face the monsters in close combat.Understandable however, it’s bit my place to judge them.The only reason I didn’t conjure up a gun as well was because I was more familiar with the sword and I hadn’t really trained up my gun wielding s

(Trina’s POV )When I saw them, I could clearly tell that the situation was tense.Judging by the reduced number, I could only guess that they had suffered a setback in trying to conquer this place behind the wall of fog.It was to be expected but right now, I saw them as my last hope at survival.This here were the best of the best when taking into consideration the first year cadets.So if they couldn’t protect me, then who could in this godforsaken nightmare?So I gulped hard to try and call out to them and at that moment was when I sensed something.I turned to find that the tar monsters had also followed me across.I thought if I came across I’d be safe but I guess that was my mistake.A terrible mistake if I must describe it.Yes, that was when I blacked out.Of course, it took my brain a bit longer to process me fainting but all in all, I didn’t die.I still recall being saved so why couldn’t I wake up?Or was it because I was scared to wake up?No, I can’t be scared now.Even

(Trina’s POV)Was he always this kind?“Are you feeling okay?” Jeremy Walker asked as he knelt before me, using his right hand to hold mine.I instinctively gulped at the sudden skin contact between us.For a moment, I wasn’t sure of how to respond but I knew that I had to so mustering the little courage within me, I nodded before answering. “Mn, I’m alright. Thank you.”He quickly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing my reply.This… was he really that worried about me?It seemed like a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulder due to my response.It made me feel bad.This guy was just another cadet.Sure he was one of the better performers but at the end of the day, he was just another cadet like me and every other person here.But because of fate or destiny, he finds himself carrying the hopes and expectations of every single one of us.I’m sure it must be terribly stressful.It’s a miracle he hasn’t caved under the pressure yet.How does he do it?“Can you stand?” just then, he ask

( Jeremy Walker POV )Six days had passed since we returned from the maze, passing through the wall of fog.Six days since the group was disbanded and every cadet went their own way to look out for themselves.Six days since I turned into a recluse, picking a certain spot to brood over my sins.Obviously no-one dared to return to the valley and so we were forced to hide in the surrounding woods.Unfortunately, it wasn’t good enough to hide us from the terrors.Every two night, three cadets would lose their lives.How did I know this?Well it was easy for sound to travel through the forest area.I can still recall the screams that echoed in my ears at some point in the night.So far, six cadets had died to the Dreamer.I actually thought I could save anyone.Unfortunately, I gave them false hope.I’m a terrible person.I shouldn’t be allowed to leave but regardless I stayed alive.As I hung down from a tree branch from a tree that was quite tall, I overlooked the area below.During the
