"This... Is impossible right?"
"I don't think so... Our luck has been run out since we part ways from Syura after all..."
"Fak!"
Kujo, Kuro, and Shiro were now facing a huge problem, literally.
A monster 20 meters in height, 100 meters wide... And in the center, there's a humanoid silhouette covered in diamond.... No... The entire thing was all in diamond!
"Now... Where should we run again? Kuro?"
"....."
"Are you sure that the voice in your head telling us to go into the 70th floor, and not telling us to just die?"
"This time even I'm feeling unsure about this situation my self..."
"Or maybe it's because of the curse?"
"..... Possibly" Kuro approved.
"... I've told you... Going into an ant nest is a freaking' suicide!" Kujo this time actually raised his voice.
"..... Let's just get out of here... Or let's just meet Syura and let him defeat this diamond monster first..." Shiro suggested.
"Too late! " While pointing at the monster, Kuro glanced at Shiro.
The monster has now noticed the whereabouts of the trio, as the humanoid figure in the middle has made eye contact with them.
".... Shall we run? Ku..." Shiro didn't even finish his sentence when Kujo grabbed his neck and bear-hugged him and Kuro while running at the same time.
"Fighting is useless, our stamina has almost run out, that includes me... Right now escape is our priority. Kuro can you feel any way out?"
"No, I... The voice only knows the shortcut way... As for the way out..." While pointing at the exit that's surrounded by thousands of plant monster.
A glob of fluid suddenly dropped in front of Kujo, the land, and plants that touched this fluid suddenly withered immediately.
And the suspect was none other than the plants that Kuro pointed.
"Damn!" Kujo and Shiro cursed at the same time.
"It is useless... We could only wait for Syura." Kuro said while shaking his head.
"Then... Quick! tell me the shortcut!" While placing Kuro and Shiro on his shoulder, Kujo shouted.
- - - - -
Syura's now was running like a madman! His left hand was as if holding a certain cloth, and his right hand already unsheathing his Zanpakuto, revealing an otherworldly grey-colored sword.
His hoods were broken, and the sleeve has long been torn apart, and his robe was full of blood! His energetic red eyes were now dull in color as if he didn't care about life and death.
*Slash! *Whoosh!
With just a slash, hordes of monster got killed in an instant! Be it from the slash itself or the shock-wave it produces.
Right now his purpose is to save his little party!
Right now, he already in a maze, even if he uses his max speed, it would only be more troublesome to do it... As it would get him crashed to a wall and fight against the dungeon defensive mechanism... Or a trap?
But fortunately, he got a certain magi in his head.
"Blood Curse: Locate!"
The way for it to works is also quite convenient, by splashing the victim blood to any kind of fabric, you can easily locate the one who kills them. Of course, it needs a certain chant, rune, and all... But, hey! With (not) so many mana on you... Why bother for such troublesome things!
At least, the consumption isn't as much as a "Pocket Dimension" magi.....
And to use it, he just needs to hold it in one hand and let it flew towards the killer. Of course, you also need to channel your mana into it.
Even with all this convenience, Syura's face didn't have any cheerfulness like before, there's only solemness. Because there's a fire burning on the piece of fabric! Meaning, that either of the three of them is in a life and death situation!
"Wait! For! Me!" Whispered Syura to himself, reassuring his own heart.
- - - - -
The boys now have already come out from the shortcut, and what comes into view was something like a view of outer space!
Dark azure blue sky, with a little tiny bit of light in the distance, that looks nearly the same as that of a star brightly lit at night.
But you can tell that it is still in the earth by its gravity that seems... Perfectly normal?
Now, the party was sitting above the big stone from many scattered stones around.. its as if a meteor that struck this land and becomes a stone-like what it is now.
The party was now looking at the sky... Feeling, as if a burden just got off from their shoulder.
Kujo: "Didn't think that there are no more hordes of monster again... "
Kuro: "True, but either way... We must be grateful for what we got right now..."
Shiro: "True..."
"Let's just rest for a while shall we?"
"Sure"
- - - - -
The very next day, the boys were now waking up by a crazy tremor they felt.
Even though they've nearly reached their peak once again, but this tremor somehow made them feel uneasy.
"This... Is this another horde?" Kujo asked.
"Finally, the ants has come!" Shiro said excitedly.
"I don't think it is a horde or something... It's as if a big guy stepping on the land because the sounds are only once in a while... And not continuously!" Kuro tell his logic.
And before long, the source has come into view...
A humongous arachnid was slowly crawling towards them... Its height is more than a hundred meters! And that's just an approximation! It's width... Don't even ask how many buildings in the modern world it could crush by basically sitting on it... Hundreds!
"Guess we're the real ants then... Fak!" Shiro face-palmed.
While at the same time In Kuro's head:
• Floor: xx/70 (completed!)
