In a cave somewhere, stood three figures. Two of which were humans, both blond and white skin with blue eyes. The man beared a round shield the size of his shoulder, standing behind him was a woman of roughly the same age who didn't seem to bring any item. She stood in a position that have her hands opened to a kind of cw position, and a spark of light can be seen from it.

  And in front of them were a giant beast of terror, a wolf who's taller than a building, its size can not be properly comprehend during the heat of the moment, but from what they've gathered...

  "Its paw alone is twice my size."

  [Floor Boss]Name: Alpha WolfHP: 446/500

  "Helga, I think we're going to die here..." The shield-bearer said, coughing out blood, "I told you, you should've quit smoking."

  "Come on now, Asgeir." The smaller woman sigh with a cigarette in mouth, "Let me have the st bit of fun."

  The two spoke in an northern accent, the Icendic nguage, which is native to Icend.

  The fight was a hectic yet quiet dance of chaos, the mix of good aerobatic movements and outerworldly skills cast from the duo helped them lower the Alpha Wolf's HP down a good bunch.

  But for the st 5 minutes, they've been tortured left and right, slowly mow down to their st bit of HP by the Alpha Wolf. They've fought til their st remaining breaths, and either they die from exhaustion, or from fangs.

  "We were just looking for a pce to rest... My mom's going to kill us if we die here." Asgeir ughed in the face of pain as.

  "If you have some cookies, I can take the bme, aunt Annessa usually let me off the hook." Helga chuckled.

  "What do you mean take the bme? You led us here."

  "But she will bme you."

  "Touché."

  Before they can continue, the Alpha Wolf lunged upwards into the sky and pounced down onto Asgeir, who managed to jumped out of the way in time, and Helga took that opportunity to cast a skill towards the Wolf.

  After her attempt of trying to the damage the thing, its HP fluctuated...

  446/500 > 436/500

  "We are so going to die." They thought.

  Asgeir fell to his knees first, gasping for air from the tormenting exhaustion weighted on his shoulders. Tears started streaming down his eyes out of desperation.

  "I'm sorry... Helga... I'm sorry."

  He started crying, snots and tears smeared throughout the young man's face.

  The Wolf wasted to chance and swing its cw towards the shield-bearer.

  "Get up Asgeir!"

  Helga threw another fireball at the Alpha Wolf, lowering its HP to 426, and causing it to tumble away from the swing.

  "We'll make it through this." the mage said, before taking in a deep breath "Do you remember... When we were young?"

  "We promised one day we'll reunite with our friend... When we're all 25, under the pear tree, we can not die here. Not when our friend is still out there waiting for us, we'll be 25 soon, we must not die until then. Please, hold on."

  "Helga..." Asgeir hiccuped, trying to work through his tears and fatigue.

  "Asgeir..."

  Helga suddenly sense some hope, she felt as if something was about to change.

  She looked upwards, and from darkness of the tunnel there was a light, she saw a young man, an Asian man standing on a rock faraway from them and the wolf, he had his hands inside his pockets, not doing or saying anything. How long has he been standing there?

  "Rescue came... Someone is here... Help! My cousin's dying!"

  The stranger didn't budge, he did not move a muscle.

  "Can you hear me? We need-"

  The wolf's nail pierced through Asgeir stomach, Helga was stunned, her eyes widen in shock, and the same happened to her.

  Blood and organs spilled throug the giant hole in their stomach, soaking the ground and dirt red.

  In his st bit of breath, Asgeir struggled over to hug Helga.

  "See you in the next life... My dear."

  After making sure they were dead, An slowly approached where they died. Their corpses were gone, reduced to mere EXP for the Tower of Apocolypse. The yonug man gnced over the wolf, who was sniffing around and finally found him, it growled loudly, and started charging.

  An threw a white flower in its direction, and in that moment, the wolf froze in fear, it trembled maniacally, its legs almost give out.
