"I don't think these guys are the enemies", Link said to everyone through the mind space.
Hazel and the rest are in a bar house in the town with few seated on a table and the other few on other tables.
"Don't be fooled by them nor their nice treatment, I look closely. The buildings are barely stable with a good foundation, and the construction look like a rush work, and if this was how the town have been, it wouldn't last a week with the strong wind coming from the forest side. So that means these buildings and the entire town itself was just built not really long ago", Ashton said through the mind space as he pretends to sip a tea from the table he is on.
"Oh, I see" link said.
"Well it's obvious isn't it", Noah said as he also pretends to sip a tea.
"Obviously", Mike said.
"Totally", Nicole said.
"pretty much", Darwin said.
"Yeah", Mia said
"Yep", Oscar said.
"Wait, am I the only one who didn't know", Link asked again with a surprised face in the mind.
"Technically", Alexa said.
"Can you guys see them", Hazel asked, his face serious, but yet unrevealing.
All focus turned to Hazel, and Oscar asked, "What exactly".
"Don't worry" Hazel said putting them in confusion.
When Hazel merged with the forbidden eye, he got the power to see things no normal eyes can see, and when others looked into the room and saw demi-humans, Hazel could see demi-humans and human like snake girls moving all about the place, and it would seem no one could see nor feel their touch, because they seem to touch the people and there is no reaction.
The demi-humans also seem to see them, and it would seem like they have been tamed by the snake girls and forced to do their beddings, it is quite obvious since Hazel seem to be able to see their fears even when they keep a happy smile, Hazel can see all these thanks to the forbidden eye.
"What do I do", Hazel asked himself.
Hazel continued to look and see the snakes movement and what they are doing, then he realized there are a total of 4 snacks in this building, and he guessed there must be more all around the town, but then his thoughts were interrupted when he saw a snake about to touch Oscar, Hazel wants to react, but he fears making a mistake that might cost the life of the others, because he could see the snakes status, and they are all level 700 and every one apart from himself are below that number, so taking down the snakes will be a challenge for them and even he himself because he just entered that level in the level 1 dungeon, but Hazel believes he should be able to take one down easily with his skills.
"But still, how can they be this strong, they are even stronger than the behemoths during the time of the apocalypse", Hazel thought in his head.
The snake who was about to touch Oscar leaned in and held his head and was about lick his face before suddenly, Oscar's skill triggered on its own.
Oscar was suddenly covered by flames which burn the snake hand and face. the snake screamed in anger and in pain.
Oscar immediately got up from the chair he was sitting as he realized something is wrong, that skill a skill that only activates when he is around treats of higher level.
After the others saw this, they all got up also, trying to see what is wrong with Oscar and why might have reacted to way he did, but then, they realized that all the demi-humans began to retreat and before long they are gone completely. this put Every one on high Alert except for those who are not part of Hazel's team.
"What's going on, where have all the beautiful demi-humans gone", A man who had been in the Bar for a long while said, a man who is not among Hazel's team. Then suddenly the man turned to stone.
Everyone in that Bar turned to stone except Hazel's team, it was one after the other.
"What's going on", Link asked.
"Petrification" Hazel said.
Then a voice came from nowhere, "How are you not stones by now".
"It would seem we have been tricked to think you were eating the food we provided", another voice from nowhere.
"Just as I thought the foods were poisoned", Hazel said in his thoughts.
Then the snakes came into sight slowly.
Every one of them immediately took on battle stances as they summoned their weapons.
"Is this what you were asking if we could see", Oscar asked.
"Yeah", luckily, we didn't fall into their traps.
"Yeah, and that is all thanks to you once again", Mia said.
"We will all be dead if not for you", Alexa said.
"Don't celebrate too soon, they are all level 700", Hazel said with a serious face as he summoned his scythe.
"Wait what, no way, how possible", they said to themself.
"You, I will kill you", A loud scream from the snake who was burned by the Oscar before the snake went on ahead and charged at Oscar.
"I also don't have a good memory with snakes, I hope you are ready to die", Oscar said as his face hardens as he remembers his first death.
Oscar then jumped forward to avoid getting the rest into the clash.
Oscar then swiftly cut the snake in half. Oscar then went on ahead to throw away the blood stain on his sword by swinging is sword to the ground, and the said as he raised is sword and pointed it to the remaining two, "You are next".
"Oh really" one of the snakes said.
"I think you need to look down", another of the snakes said.
"Like I said, I will kill you", The snake who was just sliced in two by Oscar said as it raised and all injuries and scares cleared off its body.
Oscar then jumped back to get little distance, and then said, "Oh, regeneration, it's not the first time I have faced something like this", Oscar said before covering his sword with black flames and then jumped to attack again, and after cutting the snake again Oscar received a notification from the system.
~System Message~
Warning, target level is too high, your black flame can't cause permanent damage to target of this level
~End of System Message~
"Wait What", Oscar said in disbelief, and as he was about to react the snake had surround him and squeezed him tightly rendering him powerless.
