ELDER-RAIN CORE

Memory 1.3: Your Friendly Neighbor

「What happen to your friends? 」

The fire crackled in the fireplace, the log slowly turning into charcoal. The blurred woman placed Oblivion on the couch.

「They left you?... They aren't good friends. You shouldn't hang out with them. 」

Oblivion looked down a bit upset before looking up, replying to her. Their voice still inaudible and no matter what they say, their voice couldn't reach this world. It's all quiet with the sound of the fire. The scene continued to play out like a script.

「Bad friends should not be your friend. You'll end up hurt... 」

「Now is not the time to daydream. The vessel is in danger and now is not the time to peek into their thoughts. They must continue to reach their goal. 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「The vessel stood on the stable stone bridge, rumbling as the gray serpent coiled around, his red eyes glare while the yellow tongue flicker out. They seem hostile toward them and ready to strike and end this memory. 」

(Deep Snake Voice) ???: "Time to feast on the sound of crunching glass~." The snake hissed as he prepares to lunge at their target.

「In a panic to save themselves, they raised up their hand and flash, using [Purify] in hopes of calming down the serpent. However, the bright flash didn't affect the elite creature and only annoyed him a bit. 」

◇ ???'s Turn◇

(Deep Snake Voice) ???: "Trying to blind me? How cute~. I wonder how loud you'll scream~."

「The serpent lunge forward in an attempt to bite the vessel. However, they managed to jump over and on top of the serpent to avoid his attack. When this happened, the scale on the snake started it raise up and pop out inner sharp scale as a defense mechanism. It slowly accelerated from its tail to up the head. 」

「They noticed it quickly and hopped off its head before their feet would get impale. 」

◇ Oblivion's Turn ◇

「Instead of attempting to use [Purify], they [Check] the creature, in hope of learning something about them. They started quick scanning the serpent! 」

[] Grayfool // A serpent that guards this bridge. His taste bud is sensitive, so he like to devour anything. Even rocks... Don't question his diet. // High Resistant, 25% A.A.P (Average Attack Power) []

◇ Grayfool's Turn◇

Grayfool: "I want to see my prey run away~!"

「The serpent spewed out a few inner scales and had them float using magic. The sharp blade-like scale tossed at the vessel! 」

「With quick reaction speed, they kept walking back to avoid the scales before one got them by one of their legs. It went through, hitting the ground behind them. Although with the mana, their leg regenerated but they've taken some damage. They didn't feel so happy about it, and it had numbed their movement a bit. 」
