Lucas kept looking at the changes that happened to the original screen.
'The stone part and mana core one are changed too! But where is the stone?'
Lucas looked back and saw some toward the 200kg something stone boulder, the small rocks that were around it were moved near the camp to have some support.
'The texts are taking it as the stone needed for the upgrade, which means the stone part is easy. Now only the planks, plant fiber, and mana are cores left....' Lucas thought.
Alas, it was too dark, aside from the thin spears acting as defense, Lucas couldn't tell if the enemy was hit by anything as it entered.
'After all that hard work, I can't believe something entered the defenses. Fuck...' He thought.
Lucas's gaze went toward John who was at the other side, their eyes met and after a brief nod, Lucas's gaze shifted to Sarah who was coincidentally looking at him.
"We need fire.." Lucas muttered slowly making Sarah nod in understanding. Lucas was waiting for her to pull on the fire when she closed her eyes, her left hand moved upward and a small ball of fire materialized and started hovering over it.
'Oh no, she can't hold it for long...' Lucas realized late that Sarah couldn't hold it for a long time. He was going to say something again yet Sarah brought the blunt side of her spear and lit it up with the fire.
It only took around ten seconds for her to light the other side of the spear. The shelter had already lit up with her fireball and everybody had to adjust to the flashing light.
"There is dead silence outside..." John spoke while looking out the entrance. Lucas took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He couldn't be reckless as there were too many people at stake this time around. With Ella, Barney, and Sean who didn't have much of an ability to fight, he had to be careful.
'Fuck it' Lucas thought and went outside with quick steps. The spear that had now become a fire staff blazed aggressively lighting the outside by a little.
Lucas moved it in all directions, at this point, John was also outside with him holding the end of the spear on the fire to help with the lighting problem too.
They both looked everywhere yet couldn't find anything, Lucas's eyes fell on the leaves they left before going to sleep. They were placed in a very symmetric manner but now, they were crumbled on only one side as if something set afoot inside yet didn't go any further cause of the sound.
"I think we are safe, whatever came here didn't get inside the territory," John said while patting Lucas's shoulder.
The area may have been illuminated with the two torches they were holding yet it didn't go much further.
The forest around them was filled with darkness and they didn't know what was there to haunt their minds forever...
