Chapter 216 Accepting Death

After twenty-three hours, Jack and the team were still walking.

"Jack, for how long?"

Faneel asked with his eyes narrowed and his nose raised up in annoyance, He stopped at the place and fell down on the ground. His clothes were soaked in sweat and his breathing was ragged. He felt as if thousands of bees were stinging his legs and his back was also not in great condition.

Feba and Rebecca also stopped when they looked at Faneel falling on the ground, their condition was no better than his. Feba's clothes were also wet with her sweat and her face looked pale as if she hadn't eaten for days. Her legs were trembling as she rested a hand on the wall to control her posture and not fall down like Faneel.

Rebecca was carrying the most weight of them all, however, surprisingly she was still standing on her legs. She looked at both of them and moved towards Feba to help her she held her hand to give support. Rebecca's face was also dull and her hair was sticking to her forehead because of sweat.

"Jack we are walking and fighting those ghosts for so long, I think we should rest a bit,"

Feba said as she looked at Jack. She looked at him with hopeful eyes. She could tell that neither she nor others were in a condition to walk anymore and she knew that she wouldn't be able to deny Jack if he insisted on them to walk. She could only hope that Jack would let them rest a bit.

Jack looked at their condition and took in a deep breath. He could see that Faneel's and Feba's legs were shaking and although Rebecca was better than them, her condition was also not good. He closed his eyes and remembered what he read in his book. He knew that they would be dead if they didn't walk continuously.

He didn't want anything to happen to them and he was ready to risk them getting hurt while walking, he would rather have them bleed their legs walking than let them die. His eyes narrowed on Feba and a serious expression appeared on his face. Moving his body he turned around and started walking.

"I am sorry, I will not rest no matter what."

He said and started walking he didn't even look back at them. He knew that if he became soft in front of them then they could convince him to rest. That is the reason why he was so adamant about walking.

Rebecca looked at him walking and a worried expression appeared on her face. She looked at Feba and then at Faneel. She could tell that they were in no condition to walk anymore. However, she also couldn't let Jack move alone. For her, Jack was more important than her two new friends.

"I am sorry..."

Rebecca said as she looked at Feba with an apologetic expression on her face. She could tell that she was being heartless by leaving them alone. However, she had no other option. She was Jack's slave now and she wanted to stay with him.

Moving her hands away from Feba she walked forward while giving them a final glance. After that, she didn't look back and continued to walk. Soon enough she reached near Jack, she saw that Jack was walking slower than normal.

'He is waiting for them.'

Rebecca thought and looked back and when she did her eyes widened in surprise and her heart skipped a beat. She could see a giant rhino behind Feba and Faneel's tired bodies. Her mouth stayed open and then her gaze moved above the Rhino. She could see a lady on the animal.

The lady was wearing a long black robe and her eyes were hollow and her lower jaw was broken and hanging from her mouth. In the lady's hand was a giant sickle and at the end of the sickle blood was dripping from it. The lady's face was pale white and she was wearing a long back nose pin that gave her a ghostly aura. She looked like death herself.

"Jaa... Jack!" Rebecca murmured her voice stuttering, she was so stunned by the horrifying appearance of the Rhino lady that her breath got stuck in her throat. Although she had been facing ghosts for the past twenty-three hours the Rhino lady's aura was different. Rebecca could feel a piercing fear in her bones.

"I will not rest no matter what."

Jack said in a serious tone. He was not stubborn and was not ready to give in to their persuasion. His voice was firm just like his gait and he even more steps without looking back at Rebecca, leaving the behind.

"Jack!!!" Rebecca yelled from behind, her voice filled with terror. Her body was shaking in fright. The aura she was feeling was extremely bone-chilling and she could tell that the Rhino lady in front of her was not like the other monsters she had faced till now. And she has never heard mentions of Rhino lady in her Boseman notes.

Jack when heard Rebecca's panicked voice turned around. He first looked at Rebecca and could see her standing straight as her body shivered. His brows furrowed when he saw her condition and he was about to move towards her. However then his gaze landed on the demonic Rhino lady behind her.

His eyes suddenly widened and he could feel his heart palpating. His breath turned heavy and his eyes blurry for a moment. His legs begged him to step back and run away from here. However, he somehow controlled himself by gritting his teeth. He gulped his saliva and raised his gun.

'This demon... She is dangerous...' Jack thought.

Feba and Faneel on the other hand when looked at them furrowed their brows. They could see Rebecca standing still with terror visible in her eyes as she looked at them, while Jack raised his gun towards them. Feba narrowed her eyes and then she quickly understood about their situation. Raising her gun she also turned back and looked at the Rhino Lady.

lightsΝοvel Faneel was a bit slower than Feba, however when he saw her turning around he also looked back and his eyes widened in terror too. His hand moved in panic to find the gun that he had just dropped on the ground, and he also wanted to stand up, however, he could feel no energy in his legs. It was more of terror that stopped him from standing than his energy.

"Run both of you!"

Jack yelled and moved his gun near his chest and started looking for the green panel and soon enough he started shooting, his hands were shaking, however, his aim was still accurate and always it was the forehead of the Rhino. He decided to kill the Rhino first as it was an easy target and it would give Feba and Faneel a chance to escape.

"Raaa...!"

The lady on the Rhino hissed and anger appeared on her face. Her hollow eyeballs started glowing red and she raised her sickle in the air. She then points it towards Jack and the others while yelling and leaning her body a bit forward. Her posture looked like she was about to wage war on Jack and the team.

The Rhino below her was even more enraged. Blood splattered from its head, however, it didn't even make a noise. Instead, it stood on two of its back legs and stomped down making the earth below them shake a bit. The Rhino then started walking forward at first it was slow, however soon enough it became fast and moved towards Feba and Faneel quickly.

Feba also began shooting as she gritted her teeth to maintain her composure. Her hands were shaking from fear just like her legs, however she still continued to shoot, although her aim was not as good as Jack, her bullets still hit Rhino and even the lady.

Jack continued to shoot and although the rhino was moving fast, his every bullet landed on the same spot on its head again and again creating a deeper and deeper would. Veins popped up on his forehead as the Rhino got closer and closer and he even started moving forwards while shooting.

Soon enough the Rhino was a few meters away from Feba and Faneel and it finally jumped towards them with a big roar. Its giant body created a huge shadow on the two of them and its roar sent shivers down their spine.

Faneel gulped his saliva as he could see death in front of him, no words were moving out of his mouth as he glanced at the Rhino descending and he even stopped struggling to get his gun, he could see that it was pointless now, he couldn't run and now this Rhino will stomp him to death. Closing his eyes he accepted his death.

Feba also stopped shooting and looked at the giant thing above her in disbelief. Tears formed in her eyes and memories of Jack and her began floating in her mind she wanted to spend some more time with him. She also closed her eyes and almost dropped her gun on the ground.

However just before they could feel their bodies crushing under the giant body of rhino they felt a pull on their clothes and their bodies rolled forwards.
