Chereads / The Unstoppable Trio: Book 1 / Chapter 9 - Stealing His Lunch

Chapter 9 - Stealing His Lunch

As they stood in front of the cave, the vampire stopped them and tried to look inside to see, probably trying to see if the wyvern was there, but it was too dark to be able to see anything inside. Swara also tried looking inside, but didn't see anything.

Swara looked at him, she was really desperate now, even though he was a baby, the wyvern was still mini-boss, who knows how much time it might take them to defeat it, and then reach the town.

"We have only 25 minutes left to complete the quest. Can we please hurry, Mr. Shinigami?"

"Sure, just give me a second." He said, as the guy picked up a stone and threw it into the cave. The others looked at him, confused.

They didn't quite understand why he did that, except Swara, who was kinda horrified. This world was quite real in its structure, one could even say that this was a real world, other than the unreal stuff like randomly appearing mini-boss caves, people living in peace and someone randomly appearing and killing you. Oh wait, that's actually real.

So, it could be that Rulmo wasn't even here in the first place, but she was definitely sure that it was Rulmo's Lair, she had seen it, she tried to listen for any noises, but all she could listen to was the sound of a stone hitting another stone. She was happy Rulmo wasn't here, but also quite baffled as to how this guy knows all this. Could he too...

"Yup, he's not here. Let's go, we don't know when he'll come back. Hopefully, the town is only 20 minutes away if you ran for most of the part from here. So we can still complete the quest in time." and he went in. They all followed inside.

Soon after going into the cave, they heard someone, probably a woman shout from a bit deeper.

"Help! Help! Is anyone there? Please save me."

They moved towards the origin of the sound.

But found that something was blocking their path.

Swara tried to think what they should do.

"Probably a large boulder." the person next to her said, everybody tried to move it, but it was too dark, so Gagan and Swara ended up trying to move the wall next to it.

Then the vampire guy spoke up again "Come towards where I am standing and extend your hand to try to feel the boulder blocking us from her." Gagan did as he was told.

"Now try to raise your hand upwards while not letting go of the boulder."

Gagan said after he felt the rock end, "I've reached the boulder's end."

Swara heard it all but she couldn't see much, she didn't understand what he was trying to do. Then Shinigami shouted, "Okay lady, hold on to the boulder as strong as you can. I'll count to 3 and we will start moving the boulder."

"Okay." came back a nervous voice.

Then he looked towards Gagan again, "On the count of 3, start pulling the boulder from where you are holding it."

He shouted again, "Aphrodite and werewolf, both of you move away from the boulder." She did as told, overlooking the name thing.

Then he moved away from the boulder as well, "1... 2... 3."

After a few seconds she heard an "Eeeeek", followed by a loud thump.

She understood what had happened, the boulder had fallen.

"Quick, we don't have much time, Rulmo would have probably heard the noise, RUN!!!."

As soon as they all came out of the cave, they saw a large, red creature with two legs lunge towards them from the sky as it growled angrily.

"SCATTER!!", Shinigami shouted at the top of his lungs, as everyone managed to jump out of the way just when the creature landed where they were standing a moment ago.

[-50 HP]

"Werewolf! Let the lady ride you and run on your four legs, you'd be faster that way, we'll handle things this side." Shinigami shouted as he dove to the side with her. Gagan, Himu and presumably Isaella on the other side.

Himanshu looked confused first but after a few seconds, nodded and swung the woman on his back, running towards the direction of the town on all four limbs.

Damn! They made him run away. (Not my mistake guys! I'm just the author, not the god of this world.)

He was so excited to finally fight one.
