Noah stood there without moving as he blinked and took a deep breath. Fear crept up in his heart, gripping him, and making him frozen like before. All of a sudden, he clapped his cheeks and shook his head, "No, I can't continue to be a burden on you anymore! System, just see how dashing I'll look!"
"Eh?" Shane had just opened his mouth when he saw his host swinging the sword in a random direction. Rather than being cool, this boy looked more like an irritated drunkard who couldn't even walk in a straight line but still managed to act in a violent manner.
Shane was surprised to see such a scene. He didn't think the character developnt of this stupid host would happen so soon. He had made up his mind to scold his host a few tis before forcing the boy to perform the tasks, but it seed he wouldn't have to take everything on his shoulders this ti around.
He watched as the eyeball fell to the ground and scattered around, breaking other small eyeballs at the sa ti. This indeed gained them a few more seconds to run off. So, Noah wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled, "Did I do it right?"
Shane sighed and said, "Instead of asking for praise like a little kid, you better run now. Or you would have to repeat what you just did."
Noah cursed under his breath and said, "You have a knack for ruining the mont for !"
As he said this, he turned around in an instant and dashed towards the Northern direction without looking back. He knew for sure that this ti, the size of that eyeball thing would grow much bigger than he could handle. So he couldn't waste any more ti here.
His speed grew more and more as he got exhausted from running so fast, but Noah didn't stop.
Shane could feel the emotions of his host through the sense perception and he was amazed after seeing this scene. It was too bad that this person was a fake human created by the virtual portal. He sighed as he watched his host running at full speed. anwhile, he glanced at the radar only to see that the space was getting closer.
Up at a distance, he could see a staircase covered by shadows. Only the first few steps could be seen faintly with railings. Noah's voice echoed in the background, "What the heck? We found it so soon?"
"Talk less. Just head over to the staircase before that eyeball catches up."
As soon as he said this, the eyeball that had finally beco a bigger thing vanished and reappeared in front of Noah, stopping him in his steps. The eye was so big that there was no end to it. Just the orbs were enough to make Noah feel like the entire place was shrouded by darkness. The black orb seed like a sky above his head.
His face paled as his body trembled, "Ho-How the heck am I supposed to defeat that?"
"Don't think of defeating it," even Shane didn't feel good after watching the eyeball beco so giant. He gritted his teeth and suppressed traces of fear deeper into his veins as he said, "I said run, SO RUN, damn it!"
Noah was woken up from that scolding as he dashed forward. Even though his limbs were weakened, he still ran forward.
A sticky substance fell on the top of his head, making his entire body wet. A stinky sll wafted around him as he wrinkled his nose, "What is this?"
Shane knew what was happening. The eyeball had probably opened up his mouth to swallow the host entirely. If Noah were to tilt his head up to glance at the eyeball now, Shane knew that his host had a chance of fainting. Even he didn't want to see a giant mouth hanging up above his head. So he said, "Don't think about it. Just go to the staircase."
Noah was frightened to death, and he even knew that the sticky thing might not be good, but he still listened to his system as he rushed forward without speaking. Soon after this, he walked over to the first step. The killing intent instantly vanished without a trace as if it were covered up by so invisible wall.
Only then did Noah turn back to glance at the scene.
The giant eyeball that had covered up the entire sky had opened up its mouth as two tongues fell out, close to where Noah was standing just now. At that mont, he felt that the tongue wanted to press forward, but it couldn't because it was constantly hitting an invisible wall in front of him.
Noah fell to the ground as he stared at the scene with his widened eyes.
Never had he imagined in his mind that eyes could be so scary!
Shane didn't react as badly as Noah, probably because he had expected this to happen. But still, the thing had turned out to be bigger than what he had originally expected. There were still a few small eyeballs scattered around the floor. If they were to be broken and rged, he wondered how much bigger this thing could get.
He shook his head and said, "Let's get out of here. We have two more floors and a boss room to get the weapon."
"C-Can I rest for a while?"
Since there was no ti limit, Shane nodded, "Do you want to watch sothing?"
He had just noticed an entertainnt option in the tool section just now. And it was also available for free. So they could watch anything and everything for however long they wanted.
Of course, the livestream was still on. So Shane knew that he couldn't afford to waste ti sleeping here. Otherwise, he might not get as many Crana as he was getting now. His account had already reached a large ten thousand Crana, and the numbers were still increasing.
Good. Keep giving gifts. This was basically money given to him to go through misery. He glanced at the host's dashboard that showed five thousand Crana in the boy's account.
At this ti, Noah said, "Can you find an ani movie? I want to watch it while resting."
"Take a healing potion. Your Crana has increased. You might as well make a few purchases."
"Okay!" Noah instantly opened his nu as he turned his face away. He even climbed a few steps to get away from the tongue. That creepy thing still scared him every ti its tongue hit that wall.
Shane watched as the host got busy as he frowned. This dungeon was supposed to be easy. He had watched all the monsters and knew that the ones below level five should have been similar to that wolf he had killed in the corridor.
Then how co the difficulty suddenly increased?
He rembered how he would often read about dungeon difficulties changing abruptly in the middle, and realized what had happened. For so unknown reason, the monster level seed to be higher than ever.
That creepy eyeball was a never dying monster that grew bigger and bigger every ti it was attacked. Sothing was definitely wrong here.
So he opened the help section and asked this to Dirt. He also ntioned the sword, Kinslayer, which he had accidentally obtained a while ago. He hoped his intuition was wrong. Otherwise, he was in big trouble.
