[29th floor dungeon]
*Tremor*
'Hm?', William stopped in his track as he felt the disturbance in the dungeon.
Looking around William could see all of the plant monsters which were attacking him a moment ago, shaking in fear.
*Tremor*
William faltered a bit as the intense tremor was felt throughout the dungeon floor.
Suddenly a dangerous glint passed through William's eyes as he remembered about a particular monster mentioned in the Guild's archive.
Ignoring the monsters around him, William turned around and dashed towards the upper floor.
Tightening the grip on his sword, William mumbled in a small voice.
"Juggernaut..."
-
'What kind of a monster...',Lily thought as she blankly stared at the pair of red eyes in front of her.
"Die",Emile who was standing closest to Lily shouted as she hacked at the bone monster.
*Clank*
A disbelieving expression came over Emile's face as she saw her weapon bounce off from the steel like bones not even leaving a scratch behind.
'Huh?'
For an instant Lily thought that she saw the bone monster's figure flicker.
*BOOM*
A loud noise rang out as something crashed into the nearby dungeon wall.
Turning her head in a hurry Lily saw Emile who a second ago was in front of her, was now embedded in the wall without showing any sign of movement.
With a shaking body, Lily turned looked back at the bone monster.
Lily blankly stared as a giant bony hand hovered above her head.
As she looked at the bone like hand, A single thought passed through Lily's mind.
'Am I going to die?'
Suddenly the world started moving in slow motion for her.
The giant hand slowly descended upon her.
Perhaps it was the fear of death or maybe Lily's survival instinct as she desperately tried to move her body.
'MOVE'
Shouting loudly in her mind, Lily tried to get out of the way.
'DAMMIT MOVE'
Unfortunately her efforts were useless as in this peculiar world she was the slowest.
'No....'
The giant hand was right above her head.
'Not yet.....'
She wondered why
'I haven't even found him yet.... '
Why did she even at this moment of life and death she thought of that boy?.
*BOOM*
Dust flew everywhere as the world returned to normal.
*Cough*Cough*
Lily coughed violently as dust came out of her mouth.
As her vision cleared, Lily looked ahead to see what happened to the bony monster.
'!!'
Her eyes enlarged as she looked at the large and powerful back in front of her.
'Is he....'
Expectations filled Lily's eyes as she looked at the face of the person.
'No that's....'
"Are you okay",Eldest Lackey asked without looking back.
"Yes",Lily said as she thought in her mind,'It's not him'.
"Mhm then take her and run away",Eldest Lackey said as he pointed at Emile who was still struck in the wall.
"What are you---"
"...."
Lily stopped mid-sentence as she remembered the bony monster.
Looking at Eldest Lackey's unmoving figure with his greatsword handing by his side, Lily gritted her teeth as she said.
"Don't try to act like you are some kind of hero or something you damn pervert"
"....."
Eldest Lackey didn't said anything as he quietly stood in place.
"Stop showing your stupid self-sacrificing bul*shit"
"This type of thing dosen't suit a big orc like you"
"You are just a big idiot and you should act lik---"
"Don't make me repeat myself"
Eldest Lackey turned to face Lily as he said in an unmoving tone.
"Leave"
Eldest Lackey's voice was like thunder to Lily's ears as she trembled a bit.
"Fine then",Lily said as she ran towards Emile.
"Go and die you big pervert"
Picking up the unconscious Emile, Lily went towards previous floor.
Eldest Lackey didn't said anything as he kept staring at the place where the dust has still not settled.
"Eldest.....",Youngest Lackey who was standing beside the Middle Lackey said in a trembling voice.
"Leave",Not turning to look at his younger brothers, Eldest Lackey said in a serene voice.
Tightly clenching his hands into a fist, Middle Lackey dragged Youngest Lackey away with him as they followed behind Lily.
As he saw his brothers leave, The corner of Eldest Lackey's mouth lifted up forming a small but subtle smile.
*Boom*
A small explosion happened as the dust cleared up revealing the figure of the monstrosity.
*tremble*
Feeling the intense bloodlust coming from the monster, Eldest Lackey's left arm started shaking.
*grip*
Tightly gripping his trembling left arm with his right hand, Eldest Lackey said in a small voice.
"It's fine"
The Monster in front shifted it's attention towards Eldest Lackey, A pair of blood red eyes looked at him as if ready to devour him whole.
"I just need to buy enough time for them...."
Eldest Lackey's trembling arm stopped shaking as he remembered about his younger siblings.
*shree*
With a slow movement, Eldest Lackey took out his great sword from it's sheath, Tightly gripping the sword's handle, He positioned it's tip right at the monster in front.
Perhaps noticing his movement, The monster turned to face Eldest Lackey.
For some reason, As he faced this life and death situation, The figure of his young yet strong boss came to his mind.
He didn't knew why but just imagining his figure silently staring at him from a distance, filled him up with a new found strength.
'Yes.....'
Eldest Lackey took a step forward.
'I have to be the one to do this...'
The figures of his party members flashed across his mind.
'Why?...'
Eldest Lackey tightened his muscles.
'Because I am the oldest....'
Putting all of his strength in his feets, Eldest Lackey jumped at the monster.
'And....'
A smile appeared on Eldest Lackey's face as he was mid air.
'So that I can face you with my head held high...'
William's expressionless face came flashed pass his mind as he hacked at the monster.
*Clank*
A clanking sound rang out as the sword in Eldest Lackey's hand flew out.
Just as Eldest Lackey was looking at his empty hands.
*Swish*
A white light passed through with an incredible speed.
'Everyone....'
Eldest Lackey's vision tilted as the dungeon's ceiling came in his vision.
'I'm sorry...'
*Crash*
Eldest Lackey's lifeless body fell to the ground.
-
William stopped in his track as a frown appeared on his face.
For an instant an omnivious feeling struck him.
Shaking away the bad feeling, William started using wind magic to go even faster.
-
Juggernaut turned his head and looked at the human lying in the ground with both of his legs severed.
Seeing that the human was showing no sign of movement, Juggernaut turned his head and looked at the direction where the humans from before escaped to.
Just as Juggernaut was about to follow behind those humans.
*Clank*
'??', Juggernaut slightly tilted his head in confusion small rock hit it's leg.
*Clank*
This time the rock didn't even managed to hit it as it landed a distance away from it.
"I am not dead yet you bastard....",Eldest Lackey said in a trembling voice as he thre another rock at Juggernaut.
Lifting his hand, A bloody smile on Eldest Lackey's face as he made a middle finger towards Juggernaut.
"Come and get me"
A dangerous light passed through Juggernaut's eye socket as it went towards Eldest Lackey.
