"Let us keep moving. Better not stay in one place at the same time." A rough voice reverberated.

"One second. I just want to get a lay of the land." A young man shook his head and said.

"And you want to do that by climbing trees? What is that going to do to you? How are you going to understand anything at all?" The rough voice came from a ruggedly handsome man who was holding two twin swords.

And as for the young man climbing the tree, he just smiled.

"Sometimes it helps a lot if you just look at things from another perspective, you know? And these trees are pretty tall. Maybe the pink mist doesn't actually extend all the way up. If it is like that, maybe we might be able to spot something." He said.

"Whatever. Just make it fast. My hands are way too itchy right now. I am in an expedition, and the one thing I have done most is walking around. I really want to start fighting, but there is not a single monster in sight." The rugged man said.

"Whatever, Kierch. Just wait for a while." Myriad Arrows laughed as he started climbing up. As he clutched the trees, climbing up, his eyes darted up.

"Is there a monster up here? That would be quite the surprise, wouldn't it?" He chuckled as he thought to himself.

Kierch wasn't the only one disappointed with the current situation. What was the game without some excitement? And all the pink mist gave them was a boring labyrinth that gave them no choice but to roam around aimlessly.

There was no real danger, with one or two wolves suddenly popping out of nowhere. They were not even remotely strong.

After the fight they had before, this was disappointing, even.

Myriad Arrows held the final branch and hoisted himself up as he stood on the top of the tree.

The rays of the afternoon sun shone upon him, casting a yellowish orange halo on the archer.

These rays didn't reach the ground though, because for the pink layer that swept the whole forest for all Myriad Arrows could see.

"I didn't think this place was so goddamn stretched apart." Myriad Arrows paused for a few seconds.

He could see other tree tops, tops that spread apart for a while. But he wasn't exactly looking for trees. Instead, he was looking at the exact opposite.

He was looking to the left, where there was a giant gap with not a single tree top visible. To the right, there was a small gap without any trees, and beyond that, there was a forest visible without any pink mist within.

That was the boundary of the pink mist.

"We will probably have to go toward the bigger gap. That is probably the road from which we got separated from the rest of the army. I wonder if the rest of the army is still there." Myriad Arrows wondered as he jumped down from the trees, falling straight down, hitting branches on the way down as he landed on the ground with a giant thud.

"Ouch, That actually hurt." He exclaimed as he dusted his elbows.

"Well? Was it of any help? Climbing the tree?" Kierch asked.

"Yup, I know where the army should be, and I know where the pink mist stretches to. I am guessing we don't want to go that way, where there is a clear gap of trees. No monster would leave themselves that open." Myriad Arrows said as he pointed to the right.

"We probably should go straight. That way, we might be able to find a few monsters. That is the goal, after all, isn't it? I mean, the wolves were so weak, so these new type of monsters can't be that much harder to beat. Unless you are afraid, of course." He chuckled as he gripped his bow.

"Me? Afraid? Of what?" Kierch shook his head.

"Afraid that I will show you your place." Myriad Arrows said, laughing as he started walking forward.

"Good joke. Do you want to see what will happen in this round? Fine. Let us look for the enemy lair. And then, both of us will go in. Let us see who will be able to take care of the most monsters. I also want to see how you will be able to match me, especially when I take things seriously." Kerch nodded.

"Alright then. Only one thing is left. Let us walk forward, and hope that we will be able to find this enemy's lair in the first place." Myriad Arrows said.

"It would be a pity, after I got you to agree to a match with me, that we won't be able to find the right playing ground." He said.

Kierch just smirked, looking the other way.

Both of the, were fierce competitors, and rightly so.

Both of them walked forward, the walk as silent as it could be.

Every time they walked a few meters, Myriad Arrows just took an arrow and scraped the trees, making a mark that was a circle, with a cross within.

"Who is going to come this direction? Everyone else is probably trying to find the army, scrambling to find whoever they lost. And then, they are going to be sitting ducks, waiting for the enemy to come to them." Kierch asked, shaking his head.

"Shadow King ran out. If he wants to join the fun, you wouldn't want him to miss this, would you? Or would you actually rather that our guild master not be a part of this match up?" Myriad Arrows raised his eyebrows.

"Don't try to twist everything to try and blame me on something. There's no one else over here." Kierch scoffed as he looked away again.

But this time, he stopped walking.

"Looks like we found something." He said as he pointed toward the right.

"What? That is just pink mist." Myriad Arrows said.

"Exactly. Why is it thicker than everywhere else?"
