Chapter 63: Ch 63: Danger- Part 3
"To your left-"
I warned Lynn and he blocked the attack coming for him from his left. I also dodged the attacks coming for
as I defended Klein and Joshua’s unconscious body.
We were currently dealing with the monsters that had attacked us not too long ago.
They ca out of nowhere and there were quite a few of them. I had lost count after a dozen or so but I could not see an end to these huge monsters.
The black mass in my pocket stirred, likely wanting to tell
sothing. But I had no ti for it when I needed to run for my life.
"S-Save -! It’s too close-!"
Klein cried as he saw one of the claws almost reach him. I cut it off using my knife and gave the alpha an annoyed look.
"Why did you even co here if you cannot handle monsters and fighting? Did you think we ca here to play?"
I asked the hunter and he gulped, now terrified.
"I-I ca here because this round was supposed to have humans as opponents, not monsters. My powers are much more apt to use against humanoid opponents and those who have intelligence. I-I am sorry-"
The alpha sounded terrified and I did not bla him. He likely had no training for this situation.
I barely recalled my first ti in a dungeon. All I rembered from that ti was the terror that engulfed
and the need to survive and head back ho alive. Nothing else had mattered to
at that ti.
’In that regard, I guess Klein is doing much better than . He has not lost his mind yet at least...’
Another monster attacked
and I lost my thoughts. I gave my best to clear out waves after waves, but these monsters refused to give up.
"Tsk, there are just too many of them. Where are they all coming from? I have never seen monsters like these in this dungeon before."
Lynn complained and that made
pause.
A sudden terrifying thought ca to my mind which I did not want to acknowledge—what if these monsters were not from this dungeon at all?
What if this place had gotten connected to another dungeon and that’s why these monsters started to crawl out of the dungeon gate like this?
But the only question was—how and why? What caused this to happen?
Finally, I had a part of my question answered as a humanoid shape walked toward us. The creature had a staff and seed to be chanting sothing.
"Huh-! Is that creature...speaking? But what gibberish is it saying?"
Klein complained and I strained to hear what the creature was saying as well.
"Mahskf...lord had returned...to us...we shall...celebrate..."
The creature yelled out loud and I flinched at the sudden high-pitched note that he spoke. The other creatures let out a joyous laugh as well as they celebrated the coming back of their lord.
I had no idea what these creatures were saying, but I just knew that it was bad news.
"We need to do sothing. Otherwise, these monsters would run over the dungeon and find the way outside as well. We need to find where they are coming from."
Lynn ca toward
after finishing the monsters on his side. But I watched in horror as the monsters we had just killed stood up once again and started to march away.
"Lord is calling us back...we shall...answer his call..."
The monsters started to retreat just as abruptly as they had arrived and I felt like I had to follow them.
"Lynn, take care of things around here. I will be back in a minute."
I told him as I followed after the monsters.
"Hey, wait a minute-"
Lynn tried to follow
but I was too fast for him. I followed the monsters and I felt like my body passed sothing like a barrier as I kept moving.
Finally, I reached the small gate that was open. It showed a small but cozy backyard with a mountainous backdrop that made
want to reach out and enter.
An alluring scent also reached my senses, and it felt very familiar. I knew that if not for the fact that this situation was so tense, I would have imdiately recognized it.
Those pheromones made
feel safe and want to relax.
I did not even realize when I took a step forward and headed toward the dungeon gate, but when I ca back to my senses, I noticed that I was in front of the dungeon gate with the monsters all around .
But they were not attacking . They were not even moving.
They were just looking at
with a fascinated look in their eyes.
"Go ahead. Our lord calls for you."
"He’s calling for you."
"He wants you."
"He needs you-"
"Needs you-"
"You-"
The monsters were getting louder and more overwhelming. As they chanted, the air was filled with more and more energy.
The dungeon gate suddenly went blank as a claw-like hand covered it entirely before it pushed toward .
It almost looked like a monster’s claw but I did not panic.
Or rather, I could not panic as I watched the hand coming toward
with a fascinated expression on my face.
I felt my own hand head toward that claw and I touched it. It felt so familiar and the pheromones around
went wild.
Grrrr
The sound that the clawed man made sounded inhuman but soothing. I wanted to reach out even more when the pheromones beca too much for
and I felt like my head was spinning.
No, not only my head, but everything around
was spinning.
"Ahhh. Our lord-! Return to our lord-! S-Stop-!"
The creatures tried to head toward the collapsing gate, but it was too late. They were not able to make it before the light faded and they were all left behind.
I also snapped out of my daze as I recalled what just happened.
"What the hell-! Was I under so kind of trance? Tsk, what just happened to ?"
I held my head as I tried to get rid of the headache I was about to have because of this. The monsters turned toward
with an angry expression.
"You made the dungeon collapse-"
"Our lord is out of reach-"
"You need to pay-"
The monsters attacked
and I felt the black mass in my pocket vibrate. Even before I did anything, the black mass sohow broke free from the bottle it was being held in and expanded to swallow the other monsters around .
After it was done, it went back to that small shape and back in my pocket.
It all happened under a minute and I had no chance to do anything.
Finally, an alarm sounded around the dungeon, warning everyone that an ergency had been declared and the semi-finals were halted. I allowed the tension in my body to bleed out as I recalled what a crazy day I just had.
I went back to join Joshua, Lynn and Klein. But Lynn’s gaze never left
once I rejoined him. I had a feeling he wanted sothing to say to .
