Mine cave.
"Seriously. I clearly remembered that I had eaten my lunch in the town just now, but why the hell do these remnants of the giant spiders smell nice to me?" said Sky as he stared at the slightly charred dead body of the spiders.
"It's embarrassing but... Me too." said Maria, who also locked his eyes on the spiders.
"I wondered if this is another trap from the spiders. But anyway, I don't think you should eat this." said Junior, who is trying to keep everything on track.
"Ah... Yeah... Yes, Junior is right. We probably should keep going since the spider web is gone now." said Sky.
The other two nodded.
And so, after clearing the path, the three of them proceed with their exploration in the mine cave...

Alliance Kapis Sub Quarter.
Ai is still watching the intense training of the other three on the viewing platform with C-760 and she looks exceptionally intrigued with Itsuki's training.
"Sergeant."
Ai suddenly called for C-760.
"Yes, Miss Ai? Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked.
"Well, I was wondering... They said they fused a life force that is worth of a thousand people into Itsuki, does that mean I can kill him for nine hundred and ninety-nine times and he will still be alive?" She asked, sounds a bit naive and innocent.
"Haha... Miss Ai, that's not how things work, but you are not entirely wrong. By right he is much stronger than before, and probably worth of the strength of a thousand people." said C-760 a bit joking.
"Does that mean I can go all out on him without worrying that I might accidentally kill him?" Ai asked.
"Ah... I guess so. But why did you even care about that?" C-760 asked, he finally realized that there is something wrong with Ai's questions.
"Well, he and Seito-kun once caused me a great misery and almost get me executed. I always want to give them some small revenge but am scared that I might accidentally kill them in the process." said Ai, a bit troubled.
"I see... That feeling must be quite frustrating huh? But don't worry, you probably be able to get your revenge for now. I don't know about Mr. Seito but for Mr. Enomoto, his power had definitely increased a lot. If I am not mistaken, he is now having a ten percent of the power from the ancient vampire master, Dracula, so, I believe he would not get killed easily." said C-760.
Ai nodded in excitement.
"I could get everyone out of the training room for a while leaving only you two in the room, so you can settle your thing down, if you want." said C-760.
"Well, can we include Seito-kun as well?" Ai asked, who is kind of pleading with her innocent look.
"Haha... As you wish." said C-760.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Training room.
Seito and Itsuki who were having an intense training a moment ago are confused as their training suddenly got halted as all trainers left the training room after receiving some special orders from an upper authority.
After the trainers leave the training room, someone else entered the room. It's Ai, with a rare cheerful smile.
"Ai-chan! What are you doing in here? Are you joining us with our training?" Seito asked as he greeted Ai.
Ai shook her head before bowing at both Seito and Itsuki and apologized.
"Heh? Uhm... Ai-chan, is there anything wrong?" Seito asked, there is an obvious nervousness in his tone.
Ai did not answer his question, she smiled and slowly pulled out her gold dagger and silver dagger.
"Oh dear..."
Despite no magic flow can be sensed from Ai, Seito and Itsuki can clearly feel that subtle yet overwhelming murderous intention from Ai...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine cave.
After leaving that pool of stagnant water, Sky, Maria, and Junior had continued their cave exploration for another half an hour and reached another remarkable part of the cave.
What's so unique about that part of the cave is that, it resembled a mini catacomb that laid countless dead bodies of people as well as the giant spiders. All the dead bodies are well preserved in a weird blueish translucent gel-like material.
"Ah... This is terrifying. I wonder what had happened in here? And what is that gel substance that covered all the dead bodies?" said Junior, rather amazed instead of terrified.
"Well, I guess we are getting really near to our destination. But were there this many dead bodies back then?" said Maria
"At least we know that those spiders were absent before. And damn, this place certainly doesn't give me any good memories." said Sky as he frowned.
"Mmm... Me too. Let's stay extra cautious I guess." said Maria.
"Mmm... Junior, keep a distance from those gel, they aren't just any ordinary gel if you wondered about it." said Sky.
Junior nodded.
After that short talk, they slowly walked through that mini catacomb with careful steps while keeping a three meters distance from the gel-like substance. Even with such distance, the dead bodies in the gel can still be seen clearly. The dead bodies in the gel consisted of people of different ages, genders, and social ranks, the most terrifying dead body within all the dead bodies is a lady with a toddler, from the posture of the lady, she is obviously trying to strangle the toddler to death before getting covered by the gel.
Junior is a bit goosebumped and saddened by that scene as the toddler is about the age of his daughter, uncertain whether he is getting controlled by his emotions or what, Junior tried to reach his hand to the toddler in the gel with his hand, but Sky stopped him just in time...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
