Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player
Chapter 877: Second Circle, Lust (Part 2)

Kaizen felt the heat radiating from his hand as the light grew in intensity, defying the raging storm that surrounded them. The glow, initially weak, quickly turned into an intense flame, illuminating the surrounding space like a beacon in the darkness. As the light emanated from Kaizen, he could feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

This wasn't just an impulsive action; it was a desperate attempt to rally his scattered group and save everyone from the relentless storm that was engulfing them.

"Let's hope they see this," Kaizen said, holding his hand up despite the growing pain in his arm. The light seemed to burn him from the inside, but he couldn't give up now.

Blood Lily, with her watchful eyes, searched the storm, looking for any sign of her companions. "Kaizen, stay strong. If they're around, they'll certainly see this."

In the midst of the chaos, Alina and Jayaa, still protected by the magical barrier, noticed the distant light. "Look!" Jayaa exclaimed, pointing at the glow that cut through the darkness of the storm.

"That... is probably Kaizen!" Alina, relieved and determined, redoubled her efforts. "Let's go towards the light. We can't miss this chance!"

Andrew and Xisrith, struggling to move against the wind and dust, also spotted the light coming from their right. "Andrew, look! That must be...!" Xisrith shouted above the roar of the storm winds.

Andrew, despite his fatigue and despair, felt a surge of hope. "Come on, Xisrith! We can't let this opportunity slip away!" They began to move faster, guided by the light.

Og'tharoz, alone in his struggle, was attracted by the same luminosity. His hard expression softened a little as he realized that his companions still had hopes of reuniting. With determined steps, he advanced towards the unlikely beacon.

Back at the makeshift beacon, Kaizen and Bloody Lily watched the light with apprehension. The intense glow illuminated the surrounding area, revealing the twisted shapes of the rocks and the storm fragments that passed by like dancing shadows.

"Are they coming?" Kaizen asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.

"We'll replace out," replied Bloody Lily, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword, ready for any eventuality.

The roar of the wind increased, mixed with a deeper, more threatening sound. Suddenly, a guttural sound echoed through the storm, a roar of pure agony and rage. The earth shook beneath his feet, and a dark shape began to form in the storm, an amalgam of souls trapped in eternal torment.

"Kaizen, I think we finally have company," Blood Lily warned, her voice tense.

Kaizen, still keeping the light shining, turned towards the new threat. The creature, a shapeless mass of shadows and souls in pain, fell to the ground and, like a five-meter cloud, slowly advanced, its screams echoing like a macabre chorus.

"Get ready," Kaizen said, steadying himself. "We can't let it defeat us. We need to protect that light."

The creature approached, each movement bringing a sense of dread and despair. It was as if the damned souls that formed it were trying to escape their eternal torment, but to no avail. His eyes shone with a sinister light, fixed on Kaizen and Bloody Lily.

Blood Lily drew her sword, the blade glowing with a magical energy of its own. "Kaizen, stand firm. I'll face her."

Kaizen agreed, concentrating on keeping the light alive. He trusted Bloody Lily with his life.

Blood Lily advanced, her sword slicing through the air in a brilliant arc. The blade met the mass of shadows, and a cry of pain reverberated through the storm. The creature retreated, but was not defeated. Instead, it seemed to become even more enraged, charging forward with renewed fury.

Kaizen watched the battle, her eyes never leaving the figure of Blood Lily as she fought the abomination.

"They have to be close," he muttered, more to himself than to anyone else.

Meanwhile, Alina and Jayaa were getting closer. Alina's magical barrier was beginning to fail, its energy quickly running out. "We can't stop now," she said, her voice trembling with effort.

Jayaa, concerned, held Alina's arm, helping her to stand. "We're almost there. The light is getting closer."

Andrew and Xisrith were also advancing with difficulty, using each piece of rock as temporary shelter. "We need to reach them," Xisrith insisted, the desperation in his voice clear.

Og'tharoz, steadfast in his determination, moved with supernatural speed, his eyes blazing with a controlled fury. He knew that time was of the essence and that his friends needed him.

Back at the battlefield, the fight between Bloody Lily and the creature was still fierce. Bloody Lily struck blow after blow, but the creature seemed to absorb the energy, becoming stronger.

Kaizen, seeing this, made a decision.

"I'll help!" he shouted, stepping forward with his hand glowing brightly.

Bloody Lily hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. "Let's end this together."

Kaizen channeled all his remaining energy into the light in his hand, turning it into a glowing spear. With a war cry, he plunged the spear straight into the creature's heart. The light pierced the mass of shadows, and for a moment, everything was silent.

Then a deafening scream echoed, and the creature began to disintegrate, the trapped souls being released in an explosion of light. Kaizen and Bloody Lily stepped back, shielding themselves from the intense brightness.

When the light finally disappeared, all that remained was silence and a sense of relief. Kaizen, exhausted, breathed heavily.

Bloody Lily knelt beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Of course, everything wouldn't be so easy. This was a Circle of Hell, and that creature was just one of many.

Suddenly, the same guttural cry as before echoed from the stormy skies and three new amalgamations of souls began to form a few meters away from Kaizen and Bloody Lily, who exchanged glances and smiled nervously.

"Looks like it's not over yet!" Kaizen said, offering a hand to help Bloody Lily up.

"This place... it seems to suck my sanity away," she said.

"It's your MP."

"What?"

"You haven't noticed. We're losing ten MP every second we're here." He replied, which made Bloody Lily finally look at the blue bar in the top left corner of her field of vision. This bar was dropping rapidly.
