Chapter 6 - Four day Part 2

"Guys! What do we do?" Kedra asks in panic.

"I have no idea! But my passive is almost ready," Max says.

'Kill! Kill! Kill!' Voice 1.

'Give up, Kedra, and let them kill you.' Voice 2

'More blood! Don't give up! KEDRA!! LISTEN AND LET'S DO IT LIKE IN THE COLOSSEUM!!' The first voice says, laughing like a maniac.

'Put an end to this nightmare! You've done enough. Please, Kedra, just support me!' Voice 2 says, almost crying.

'What the hell! Who are you?' Kedra asks, surprised and panicked.

'We are YOU!' Both voices say in unison.

'Now do you want to die? Or will you let me take control?' Voice 1 says, laughing.

"Kedra? Are you okay?" Max asks.

"Kill them! I don't want to die here!" Kedra shouts, rushing into the monsters.

"What's happening to him?" Ella asks, frightened.

"I don't know! But I don't like it," Selena says, amazed and scared.

"I think the survival instinct kicked in," Max says, following him.

"You're both crazy!!!" The girls shout as they defend themselves from the dogs.

~Time: 1 hour and 19 minutes. 

 Hellhounds: 103/500.~

"Max!! How much time until your passive is ready?" Kedra asks.

"I just used it! Are you stupid?" Max says, annoyed.

 Everyone seemed to have started working better, fighting more efficiently. Selena began coordinating with Max, who would retreat next to her every 2 minutes to protect her when Ella attacked with Kedra.

Kedra keeps attacking continuously, and when his passive is inactive, he withdraws and reenters the formation.

"Kedra, behind you!" warns Ella.

"Thanks!" says Kedra as he defeats the spear into the dog behind him.

~Time: 1 hour and 9 minutes.

 Hellhounds: 165/500.~

"We need to find a way to kill more!" Max says, barely catching his breath.

"Exactly!" says Selena, looking at the revolvers reloading.

"Is there something wrong?" Kedra asks.

"What?" Ella responds.

"Alphas aren't attacking! Why?" Kedra says as he reaches Ella.

"Now that you mention it... I notice that," says Max, looking nervously at the HP bar.

| HP: 35/195 |

"Guys, I have very little HP left!" Max says, worried.

"Now that you mention it... I'm not doing too well either," says Ella.

| HP: 56/134 |

Kedra assesses his HP, revealing the effects he's dealing with:

| HP: 83/135

- Burn effect active: 5-11 hp/3 sec

- Burn effect active: 5-11 hp/3 sec

- Massive damage: Bleeding: 10-30 hp/20 sec

- Burn effect active: 5-11 hp/3 sec

Passive Cooldown: 1 min

HP: 68/135 |

"Check the effects on yourselves! Nowww!" Kedra says in a panic.

"Burn effect? What the hell? Is that why I'm losing HP all the time?" Max says, frustrated.

"I noticed, but I didn't want to panic you," Ella says, annoyed.

"Mine just disappeared a few seconds ago. I think it works for a certain period," Selena says, slightly relieved.

"Good for you... I have a Bleeding effect with 3 Burns... It took 30 HP from me a few seconds ago. I have 42 seconds until the passive activates," Kedra informs, irritated.

~Time: 58 minutes. 

 Hellhounds: 198/500.~

"We have less than an hour to kill 300 hellhounds," Max says while crushing the head of one.

"Be careful, the big ones haven't entered the game yet," Selena warns Max.

"Ella, cover me!" Kedra shouts.

"Kedra! Are you crazy?!" Selena shouts desperately after him.

"You idiot, what are you doing?" Max says as he runs after him.

'Do you want to do it?'Voice 1

'Suicide!' Voice 2

'Shut up! I'm not a coward to die now!' Kedra says with the second voice.

'Kill! More!

Kill! Kill!

Slaughter! And more!' He exclaims in macabre enthusiasm with the first voice.

'No, no, please… don't kill anymore!' The second voice says, crying.

They all kill hellhounds on the left and right, trying to reach Kedra who heads towards the Alpha. Kedra creates a massive massacre with his spear, like a true warrior, reveling in their blood.

"Can you see? Kedra is massacring!" Max says, amazed.

"What happened? Look at his fighting style… it's completely different," Ella says.

~Time: 49 minutes and 21 seconds. 

 Hellhounds: 241/500.~

"He killed over 30 hellhounds on his own!!!" Selena says, astonished.

'More!

More!

More!

Blood!

Blood!

Kill!

Kill!

More!

Show them your true face!' Voice 1 urges.

"Max! I...need...help!" Kedra collapses to the ground.

"Damn it! What the hell..." Max exclaims as he defends him.

"What are you doing, Kedra?" Ella asks.

"The shop!!! I forgot about it. I need a life potion," says Kedra, accessing the Shop.

"Good! Max, Ella, I'll cover you…buy potions!" Kedra says cheerfully.

"Looks like your plan worked," Selena says with a smile.

"Barely! I've almost spent all my silver and 15 gold coins. I only have one Medium effect potion and one Mega left," Kedra says nervously.

"Gold?! You got that much gold?" everyone exclaims in surprise.

"Oh, yeah! Why?" Kedra asks while trying to fend off hellhounds.

"We'll discuss it later," Max says.

"Selena, how's your HP?" Kedra asks.

| HP: 18/101 |

"Not great... I need a potion too," Selena says in panic.

"Are you ready, Kedra?" Max asks.

"Always!" Kedra replies, jumping back into the fray with Max's passive protection.

"Why do you deal so much damage?" Max asks the girls.

"Damage potions," Ella explains.

"That makes sense!" Max replies.

"Keep the discussion for later... The big boys are coming in," Kedra says, looking off into the distance.
