Wait... This thing isn't trying to kill us...
"What the hell," I muttered as the slis tried to corner us against the wall of the cavern.
Is it trying to lead us sowhere?
I glanced at the leader, who stood firm, a face full of determination after seeing try and save him.
It looked as if I moved sothing within him, so I, of course, was going to take full advantage of this…
Squish
The wall of toxic sli suddenly moved forward, causing us to step back once more, but this ti we hit the cavern wall.
Our backs were against the rocky surface, and I could feel the toxic slis getting hungrier and hungrier… yet it never even tried to make a move, despite how helpless we were.
Co on… Eat … Eat …
The sli reverted to a more normal form, and this ti I couldn't see the end of it when I stared deep into its slimy body.
It felt as if I was staring into the abyss… a slimy abyss.
Suddenly, black and green tendrils shot out from the sli once more, latching onto my ankles and wrists and then pulling deep into its body.
I caught a glimpse of the leader trying to save by reaching out his hand desperately, but it was too late as I was inside the sli… of course, I didn't die, though.
I pretended to be screaming in agony while trying to dive farther away from the leader's position, so he lost sight of .
Eventually, it worked out perfectly as I escaped from the other side of the sli, who just ignored .
"*gasp*... *gasp*..."
I had held my breath for at least one minute, and I wasn't the best at it, so I was fighting for my life in that damn slimy ss.
"*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*... That should be enough," I muttered, and just as I had thought, the leader blew up into an angry ss.
His blood-red aura shot out from the top of the slimy wall, so I made my way behind a tree before seeing the sli slowly shrink.
But, it wasn't doing anything while being absolutely destroyed as it kept closing into the leader until I saw it press against the wall of the cavern.
And all of a sudden, it stopped.
Silence.
The blood-red aura was completely gone, and the sli began to shrink rapidly.
I was confused for a bit until I realized the sli had disappeared entirely, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of the cavern wall.
"Huh? How is that possible," I muttered.
Breaking the shell of a cave-like dungeon is impossible, and you could say the sa for an open dungeon that actually has a sky.
If you dig down far enough, you'll reach rock or a material that is impossible to mine, break, shatter, lt, or do anything to… It's literally impossible.
So then, how did the dungeon wall break? Or maybe… Just maybe... the cavern wasn't the entire dungeon…
I walked over to the gaping hole and stared down into the massive cave below where the leader was fighting against the toxic sli.
But, now that he had so much more open space, he was able to make quick work of it, but his anger continued to rage.
I almost felt a bit touched by how angry he was for .
As soon as the entire sli had been cut down, my eyes began to roam the walls of the open cave, below trying to find a way to get down.
In order for the next part of my plan to work, I needed to keep this guy around… and gain his trust once more.
But why would I do that? Wasn't I just trying to kill him? Yes… and so?
Before, I wanted to kill him as we had the rest of the raid mbers, and after we killed the boss, I could easily kill him in order to up my reward at the end of the raid... And he was the only one in the way.
But now, the raid team is in shambles… I guess it is slightly my fault, but at least I got two stat points out of it... and I guess I did underestimate and overestimate both the leader and the raid mbers... So I'm at fault for this...
Though… this actually might work in my favor once again.
Suddenly, a massive wave of toxic slis appeared in the cave below , and I could see the leader's face instantly pale.
It looked as if he had seen a ghost.
After regathering his lting mind, he ran in the opposite direction of the wave, and I assud the slis calculated this.
But, slis are incapable of thinking of such things.
They only have three things on their mind: Eat, Attack, Sleep. That's it.
"So it must be the boss," I muttered upon thinking back to the articles I had read on the boss of this dungeon.
After breathing out a long breath, I glanced back at the trees behind , which had toxic vines slithering up their trunks.
I walked towards them, ripped them off the tree, and quickly tied them together into sothing akin to a rope.
As I was only about one hundred twenty pounds, I didn't have to make sothing very strong, but it still had to be sturdy enough to not rip.
After tugging the makeshift rope a couple of tis, I tied it to one of the large boulders that were the rubble of the massive hole in the wall.
It looked to be kind of sturdy, but that wasn't enough. I wasn't about to die because I wasn't careful enough.
If I die in my area of specialty, I'm going to kill myself in the afterlife.
After placing a few more stones near the bottom of the boulder, where the rope was, I gave it another tug, allowing the elasticity to bounce my arms back slightly.
"Perfect," I muttered before grabbing onto the end of the rope and then tossing myself with the rope down into the cave.
Once the rope had reached its lowest point, the elasticity allowed to travel a few feet further down.
And after hopping off, I saw the rope get shot back up into the air.
It was like bungee jumping, but I let go at the lowest point.
"Alright, let's check out what the hell is going on here," I muttered.
