*Change of POV*
Liu approached the labyrinth's exit and found other people preparing to leave. It was a surprise since they hadn't seen anyone in the area. They thought the people in the area had all been killed by the army of monsters.
When Liu approached silently, the four men and the woman preparing to leave the labyrinth turned to him.
"Huh? Are you alone? Has your group been annihilated or something?" The man who seemed to be the leader said mockingly. Liu narrowed his eyes at the woman. The woman looked afraid.
'What happened?' Liu thought.
"Yes, my companions were killed by a huge group of monsters that suddenly appeared." A tear ran down Liu's cheek. His acting was unconvincing, but the men believed him.
"I'm sorry." The man who had previously been mocking looked sad for Liu. "We also encountered a large number of monsters, but we managed to escape. We were going out to report what's happening inside the labyrinth."
"We've never seen so many monsters walking around together. What's more, they were all faster and stronger than they should have been. I don't even know how we managed to escape." Another man in the group said.
"I was so scared. The only thing on my mind was 'I have to survive'."
"Merylin still hasn't recovered from the shock. She was very good friends with Reda."
"Was this girl part of your group by any chance?"
"She was a childhood friend of Merylin's." The man looked at the traumatized woman and squeezed the handle of his spear. Liu expressed his condolences to the group and decided to leave with them.
As soon as they left, the gate began to close.
But before that could be done.
"I'm sorry for this." Liu spun his body, and his golden sword passed through the guard's neck. A clean body was made.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The leader of the group shouted, taking his sword from his waist. Liu raised his sword and blocked the man's sword. Then the leader jumped back, and his group got into battle position.
The only one who couldn't react was Merylin.
"Hey, what's going on here? Who did this?!" Then, the other guards began to act.
The group of enemies began to increase. Liu clucked his tongue and wondered if he could handle it. But this was his job. He had to do it. 'I'll be careful. I don't want to die here yet.'
Although he was only a familiar, Liu still wanted to live.
He advanced towards the group and started swinging his sword. One by one, all the guards began to succumb.
Before long, only Merylin's group remained.
The four men were scared, terrified. Liu began to walk slowly towards them, and the group leader raised his hands. "Please let us go. We won't tell anyone about what happened here."
Liu continued walking towards them without listening to what the leader had to say.
Tsk!
The leader clicked his tongue and then turned around. He grabbed two of his friends and threw them towards Liu before running. "Get out of the way, you bitch!" He shouted at Merylin, throwing her to the ground. Merylin's staff rolled across the dirt floor.
ARG!
SHIT!
The two men thrown in Liu's direction were cut down and fell to the ground. Liu then began to run. He ran past Merylin and the other paralyzed man to follow the leader.
Liu quickly found the man, who was not far away.
"Stay away! You monster!" The man shouted desperately. He tried to fight Liu but couldn't. Liu's sword pierced the man's chest, and he fell lifeless.
Liu turned and ran to where Merylin and the last man were. When he arrived, he found the man trying to do everything he could to make Merylin recover.
"Mery, you need to recover, we have to get out of here immediately before he comes back!" The man shouted, but Merylin remained silent.
"Damn it, Mery, come on!" The man grabbed Mery by force and began to carry her, but Liu approached before the man could start running.
"Let her go." Liu raised his sword towards the man.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to kill her?"
"I'm not going to kill her. She hasn't done anything against me."
"Then why did you kill my friends?! They didn't do anything against you either!!!!" The man shouted, but Liu seemed unconcerned. "Why did you do that?!!! You damned monsters! Uuuua..uuu..." The man began to cry as he looked at Liu.
But Liu didn't feel the slightest bit sorry or remorseful for his actions.
"I'm sorry, but these are master's orders."
"Master?! What mast-"
The man's throat was cut before he could say anything else. Meryril's body fell on top of him, and a pool of blood began to be created. Liu approached and pointed his sword at Merylin, who was trembling.
Merylin closed her eyes, awaiting her fate. But strange sounds began to be heard inside the dungeon before Liu could do something with her. From there, many monsters started to appear.
Merylin's eyes flew open, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
"No... No... NOOOO!!!" She screamed while protecting her head with her hands.
Within seconds, the wave of monsters began to advance on all sides. And seconds later, two spiders emerged from the dungeon. And from one of them, an evil aura was emitted—the aura of someone who would bring chaos to this world.
