Book 10: Chapter 2 (6)
Upon hearing that Marino had been kidnapped, Shin rushed straight to the specified location.
He didn’t even spare a thought about the monster invasion event being a coincidence or not.
Using one of the monsters prowling the streets as a foothold, Shin jumped on the roof of a building. Any bird monsters trying to blow him away would get swept away with skills, but Shin ran forward without even glancing at the items they dropped.
What filled his heart and morphed his expression was worry.
The piece of paper Luca had showed coordinates and Marino’s condition. What worried Shin was that Marino’s life was in danger.
The paper said that Marino was affected with “Bloodred Poison”. If that was the truth, he had to reach the specified location as quickly as possible.
Unlike a normal Poison status, which would leave at least 1 HP, the Bloodred Poison would continue consuming the player’s HP until it was healed or enough time passed. The continuous damage it caused was also much higher than regular Poison; with Marino’s HP, she would not survive long.
“Please let me make it in time…”
Even though Kalkia was a medium sized hometown, it was rather wide. There were houses for tens of thousands of players, after all. With monsters in the way, not even Shin could traverse it quickly.
