Elaine, Zack, and Josh were sitting in the planning room talking about the next event that was going to happen.
Zack said seriously, "The next event is very important, we need to get a lot of life points from it anyway so we can go to the next city. And that boy is also and we need to talk to him about this, we need to know how much he is He has life points, and if his points are low, he should increase them in this event."
Elaine confirmed Zak's words.
"Right, I'll explain everything to him when he comes back from guard duty."
They were still talking about different issues when suddenly the underground space plunged into deep darkness and the little light that flickered there disappeared.
And the earth began to shake, as if an earthquake was taking place. The deep cracks on the wall got deeper and the wall opened and was collapsing.
Elaine, who was standing next to the collapsing wall, suddenly encountered a hand that was pulling her towards her, it was Zack. He pulled Elaine to him and hugged her tightly, making his body a barrier to protect her.
A few pieces of that debris hit Zach's back, causing him to vomit a little blood.
"Uggh..."
He felt a taste of iron in his mouth and it made him feel disgusted. Everything was lost in that darkness and only the surrounding sounds could be recognized. So they were put together with the help of sound.
Elaine asked how Zack was with a worried voice. "Zach, are you okay? You're not hurt?!"
Zack, not wanting Elaine to know about his condition, tried to smooth his voice and answer Elaine so that she wouldn't notice his injury. Anyway, his body would recover very soon, so he didn't need to worry Elaine unnecessarily.
"Um. I'm fine, don't worry."
After making sure Zach was okay, Elaine called Josh. They should go after Kareena. She was resting in another room. And she may be trapped like them.
Josh had a lot of physical strength and could easily lift several large rocks weighing more than 200 kilos, so if the path was blocked by debris he could easily push them aside.
********
Karina was resting in the room when she felt a vibration, which made her wake up and when she opened her eyes, she only saw darkness that covered everything and heard the sound of something crashing.
She was alone at this moment and had no one by her side. So she had to rely on herself to be saved.
Because of those vibrations and sounds, the walls around her were cracking, so she went to a corner of the room and took shelter there so as not to be harmed by the collapse of those walls.
"Krakkk...KREKK"
After a few minutes, she suddenly felt something behind the debris. Because she heard a sound and a dam of debris that blocked her way out was falling.
A little later she heard a familiar voice. It was Joshua's voice calling her.
"Karina....Karina, are you there?! Are you okay?"
Karina answered happily when she heard Josh's voice. "I'm fine. I'm not hurt."
After a few moments, the whole barrier disappeared and Josh went towards where Karina's voice was coming from.
"Karina you can see. So lead me, we need to go to the planning room, Elaine and Zach are there."
"Yeah, I can see. So let's go."
Karina's ability was complex, her eyes could see everything well even in the darkest places. Although Josh also had strong eyes, he could not see anything well in such darkness.
And that Josh's ability was eagle eyes. He was like an eagle who could watch his prey at the farthest point. But it was different from Karina's eyes.
Karina's eyes could see the truth of everything, she could see the inside of beings, their true form. Of course, this ability also had disadvantages that made her unable to use her eyes for a while. Of course, she didn't need to use it at the moment.
And she could walk through the darkness with ordinary ability.
They reached Zack and Elaine after a few minutes.
At the same time.
Tahel who was standing alone in front of that blackness and thought to himself how he could resist that creature.
The aura emanating from that darkness was transfixing. And there was a lot of anger in it. The creature was very angry that its prey had escaped. So he wanted to capture Tahel and torture him.
That aura put a lot of pressure on the walls of the building and caused it to collapse. Tahel was afraid that the collapse of the building would harm the rest of the group who are underground. So he should have tried to attract the attention of that creature and buy some time for the group to get out of that situation.
He still did not know about their strength and ability, but surely they know better than him how to survive in this world. So he had to trust them.
So he tried to take a brave action.
Will it work or not, would you know later?
"Hey, ugly creature, you didn't come after me, so why don't you try to play with me, you don't think it's any more fun than trying to trap me all of a sudden."
Tahel didn't know if this would work or not, and if that creature would understand his words or not?
However, in a moment he heard a shocking sound.
"Kekekekeke....kekekeke."
The sound of insane laughter echoed in the entire atmosphere of that place, and every living being trembled with fear upon hearing that sound.
Even the mobile tentacles moved and trembled when they heard that sound, and in a moment they bowed down as if they were facing a superior being, and if they behaved against his will, they would cease to exist.
Tahel and others were no exception to this. After hearing that voice, Tahel's knees went weak and he fell to the ground and could not move.
Even Billy, who was approaching from a distance, was startled by that voice and stopped moving for a moment.
The darkness that covered the entire space began to gather at one point.
And it was taking shape.
