"Miss Avery, be careful, behind you!"
"Wind Shield!"
-Plouff!
Gray, who had just shouted to warn Avery of the sneaky attack of one of the six tigers, was surprised to see a red arrow pierce the tiger's skull who died instantly; by the ruthless care of their guardian NPC.
After defeating their first monsters, in the dangerous area, the two have not had time to blow when since they had exceeded one kilometer of the safe area.
"Wind Arrows!!" Avery did not leave Kasel's favor unpaid.
Three wind arrows blew towards Kasel, missing him one centimeter closely before lodged in the body of the bloody tiger who staggered behind Kasel.
At the same time, Gray made a Slash with his sword and cleanly slice the other tiger's head.
"Huff, I think it's finally over." Avery made a gesture with her left hand as if she wanted to clean the nonexistent sweats on her forehead.
"No, it's just beginning. We probably have more enemies in front of us than the fifty corpses left behind!" Kasel responded briefly by looking at the red blade of his sword with a frown.
-I always have trouble controlling my mana with this sword. What to do? Even if its edge has nothing to envy to other weapons, it is still embarrassing to brandish it; given the phenomenal amount of Hydrar that it makes me lose!-
This was one of the main problems that occupied his conscience.
As for the other question, it was the distance from the dungeon that turned out to be longer than it had been planned.
-Sigh, if we continue like this, we will find it difficult to face the following enemies. Gray and Miss Avery have already reached their limits despite having climbed two more levels. This is insufficient to face the enemies we will encounter along the way; we must take a shortcut.- he continued his thoughts as he walked on the corpses of the dozens of tigers who disappeared into black smoke.
"Mr. Fallen, why haven't we arrived so far? Is it normal that it takes us so long?" For the thousandth time, Avery, who was eager to change class... asked Kasel this question.
"Sigh, this dungeon is not only a maze but even to find the entrance to this dungeon is more annoying than solving a "Rubik's cube"."
- Tsk, is it really worth it? If we continue like this, it would take us more than three more days to reach the dungeon. I had planned to use the hidden teleporter that we just exceeded an hour ago. Fuck! She just has to get f*cked. I wouldn't change my plans just because she's watching me. - he shouted in his thoughts, taking his decision firmly.
Then, he stopped in his footings.
"Miss Avery, let's go back. I think we have gone beyond our destination." He said, turning in his footsteps and suddenly sprinting with evasive eyes.
"..."
Gray and Avery looked at each other and then saw the same astonishment in each other's eyes. But finally, they followed Kasel.
...
The journey was shorter than expected and lasted only thirty minutes. They have almost little or no encountered monsters on their way back. Kasel had forbidden them to face the monsters to get to their destinations faster.
Kasel stopped in front of a lake with deep blue waters as if it had been painted by a famous artist of the twentieth century.
The lake had no undulation on the surface, nor living creatures on its in; it was peaceful and placid.
"Don't tell me you came here just to take a shower?" Gray asked with irregular breath.
This was understandable for Kasel, given that they had spent more than thirty minutes sprinting throughout the forest to reach this destination.
Kasel applied his desire to remain silent in the face of some of Gray's silly questions and went directly to the briefing.
"I'm going to be brief. Once you enter this lake, do not looks behind you, continues to run as fast as u can to the temple that will be in front of them five hundred meters away. You can scream if you desire it, but don't do too much; especially you, the muscular idiot." As soon as Kasel finished his sentence,
He jumped into the lake which made only a small wave of "ploc" as if it were a small stone that had just been thrown into a river.
At first, the two saw Kasel's body under the lake. But after only two seconds, he disappeared under the lake!
-!
"I must go too!" Gray commented in an unwavering tone as if he was about to declare himself to the girl of his dreams.
Avery shook her head with disdain before pushing him into the lake with her magic stick.
Gray's horrified cries were stifled by the lake water while his most faithful friend followed him closely; his streaming camera.
"Hmph! It's for my revenge, fool!" After saying these words with a satisfying smile, Avery also jumped into the lake.
But from the moment her body came into contact with the lake water, she suddenly realized something worrying. The water of the lake did not wet her clothes or herself.
But she couldn't breathe! The four of its five senses could not differentiate between the water of this lake and the other normal lakes. (except her touch's sense).
But her surprise had only just begun. Her body, which naturally descended to the bottom of the lake like a stone... was suddenly ejected into the lake and fell on her butt when she reached a depth level under the lake.
Surprised by the sudden ejection, she looked around her in a stupor. Her environment was not only not the same, but she saw Gray running to a bloody red temple; like a girl who was chased alone by a sexual harasser in a dark forest.
"Tsk, this guy exaggerates everything!" She said, getting up from the ground while massaging her butt with a placid air. At the moment, the pitiful scene that Gray had shown her had made her forget Kasel's warning, which was strangely untraceable.
But soon, she froze on the spot when she saw the inside of the lake in which she had just gone out.
IBLIS, Sea Snake (LVL 90)|
HP: 900/900|
"Dr...dragon?!!" Even if she could see the notification that was in front of her, she was not ready to believe that the monster...no, rather the ferocious beast that occupied half of the fantastic Lake was a (simple sea snake).
The sea snake, whose length was about a hundred meters and three meters thick, had two black horns above her head and black scales like the wet feathers of a raven. Her two pointed white fangs were soaked in a purple liquid that could not be other than poison.
But what prevented Avery from believing that this...beast was a sea snack, was the two huge bat wings of jet black that were in the middle of her back!
-Ssss
The snake's dark green eyes stared at Avery who was frozen by fear, while occasionally pulling her bifid tongue with predatory air.
-Grab!!
At that very moment, Kasel who had mysterious appeared lifted Avery's body and placed her on his shoulder like a bag of potatoes before running back toward the temple with all his strength.
As for the sea snake, she will not naturally let going the two that had just appeared in her lake; it was as if she had just seen her lunch suddenly appear on a plate.
Her giant body slipped stealthily on the grass with a speed that could not be seen by Kasel.
Then, a moment after, he intervened between Kasel and the temple!
-Teleportation? No, it's just that my eyes are too slow to be able to follow her movements!
Kasel, who is known for his thirst for combat, did not draw out his sword this time. Even better, he instantly changed the trajectory and sprinted towards the forest, which was ten meters from his left.
But at present, this distance seemed to be the greatest distance he has ever traveled since his birth. The only reason for the survival is because of the snake that seemed to play with them by constantly blocking their road with her giant body!
-SSSSS!!! SSSS!!!
'Fuck! She wants to choke me with her hands or what?' Kasel was not addressing the sea snake, but rather the human snake he had taken on his shoulder.
Avery's thin hands were firmly wrapped around Kasel's neck, almost preventing him from breathing. The fear that hypnotized her not only prevented her from shouting, but she could not leave her eyes the playful eyes of the snake who seemed to be in her happiest moment.
By being strangled by Avery, Kasel's mask fell on his face at the same time as he constantly tried to flee.
But when his scarlet pupils fixed towards the temple, a Machiavellian smile adorned his lips, making his face more 'beautiful' than before.
After increasing his Stats while being in his own body, it was not only his height that measured 180cm, but his facial features were now more exquisite and immaculate; making him a more charming man than most female models.
-Now that this idiot has reached the temple, it's time to go there, too!-
He suddenly stopped in his flight and held heroically in front of the sea snake with his erratic eyes that could only be described as crazy!
"!" Even if Avery had forgotten how to articulate words with her tongue, she did not seem to have forgotten how to articulate her muscles to get away from the madman who tries to fight with this beast.
He bowed his knees while picking up his mask and putting it on his face. The time had not yet come to reveal his identity to the world.
"Trust me, Miss Avery, I'm not someone who intends to commit suicide unnecessarily here!" As soon as Kasel spoke these words, he saw the snake encircling him with her gigantic body!
But at the same time, Kasel unlocked one of his hands that were catching Avery and took out an egg that was the same size as his head in his inventory.
"!"
The snake suddenly stopped moving as her happy eyes switch to hateful eyes that contain an insatiable bloodthirsty
-Smirk,
"Even if you can't speak yet, I'm sure you understand what I'm telling you. So if you even blink, I'll drop this egg on the ground!" Kasel pronounced.
But at the same time, he dropped the egg to the ground!
Alerted, the sea snake pitifully tried to cushion the fall of the egg, but without success.
-Pouff!
-SSSS!!!! Miserable instinct!!!" The hateful snake who seemed to learn to speak in human language, Opened her mouth to sprinkle poison and kill Kasel.
But while he was about to kill Kasel in the most ruthless way he knew, he froze once again, when he saw Kasel make another of his eggs appear!
"What did I tell you? Blink again, and I would crush this egg!" Once again, Kasel retorted.
Hearing Kasel's words,
It was not only the snake that was mad with rage, even Avery cursed him for being so ruthless towards the "poor beast".
The cause of their hatred towards Kasel was justifiable. Snakes are known to be one of the few creatures that do not have eyelids; as a result, they cannot close their eyes or blink them... even if they wish!
"M. Fallen, please, even if you are so envious to die... don't involve me!" These were the first words Avery was able to say after regaining her quiet which happened only after she remembered that everything in front of her was nothing more than the imagination's manifestation.
