BAM
"Ugh."
Feeling a strong impact on his stomach, Aiden groaned as blood spewed from his mouth.
Tak
Taking a few steps back, the brow teddy bear didn't seem to let go as it swung another punch.
'Shit.'
Bam
This time, Aiden blocked the punch in time with his arms, but
Crack
'That didn't work.' Aiden thought as he felt his arm bones cracking. It hurt like hell.
Whoosh
Aiden quickly jumped back before the bear could punch him again, but the bear was stubborn.
'Heh.'
Aiden snickered as he landed on the ground and quickly sprinted towards the bear.
Click-click
The teddy bear's limbs twitched as Aiden appeared right in front of him.
'Time for payback.'
Aiden thought as a thick sword appeared on his hand out of thin air.
Click-click
Whoosh
Before the teddy bear could even react, Aiden swung the thick sword with all his strength, grabbing it by both his arms.
BAM
The sword dealt heavy damage to the teddy bear as it started to break.
Click-click
But the teddy bear was still not done as Aiden raised the sword with both hands and slammed it down to its head.
BAM
The teddy bear's head turned to pieces as it finally stopped moving.
'Damn.'
Blake, who was fighting the other brown Teddy Bear at the side, thought as he was observing the fight all along.
As soon as they defeated one doll, another doll would instantly appear.
It went on for quite some time as the timer kept on ticking.
Clang
'T-this is getting tiring.' Aiden thought as he repelled a brown teddy bear's claw from attacking him.
'Have they not found the key yet?' He thought as he tried to look towards the ones looking for the key but couldn't as another teddy bear attacked him.
Bam
'Ugh.'
[10:50]
'Only ten minutes are left.'
He thought as he hoped the key would be found soon.
Aiden was now currently fighting two brown teddy bears. He was keeping his foothold against them, but slowly he was losing it.
Click-click
As he was fighting them, he heard another sound of clicking.
'Thats!'
A pink teddy bear was just sitting there with its mouth wide open to let out a scream.
Bam
Taken off-guard, he took a blow to his stomach from one brown teddy bear as another teddy bear followed after.
'No. I have to stop that.'
He thought as his grip around the thick sword became stronger.
Whoosh
BAM BAM
He spun as he took both the teddy bears out at once.
As soon as he was done, he dashed towards the pink teddy bear, who tried to stand up and run.
'I won't let you.' Aiden thought as he jumped and swung the sword at its head.
Swoosh
'Huh?'
Instead of hearing a breaking sound, the sword went right through the pink teddy bear's head without touching it. It froze as it started to become transparent.
Aiden's body also went through it, making Aiden more confused.
Tap
'What?' Aiden thought as he landed on the ground.
'Oh no.' Panicking, Aiden turned around to attack, but the pink teddy bear was no more there.
Clack
As Aiden kept on panicking, a sound woke him up as he looked towards the source of the sound.
"I-I found the key."
Standing in front of an opened door, the green haired mage, Noi, said as she looked at her party members in exhaustion.
The search for the key wasn't easy with the dolls constantly attacking.
[8:39]
The timer froze as it blinked, indicating the end.
Flip
[Congratulation challengers. You've found the key.]
The paper flipped as it informed about the end.
Looking around, Aiden realized that not only the pink teddy bear but other dolls had also disappeared.
Whoosh
Suddenly, the scenery changed as the room returned to its original state, that is, being full of dolls.
As the scenery changed, everyone walked towards Noi and just stood there.
"Sigh. Those dolls were annoying." Blake said as Kate and Noi nodded their heads.
"Looking at your condition, it looks like you two didn't even have to break a sweat." Blake said as he looked towards Ben and Ann.
Ben cracked his fingers as he thought about how much he wished the chamber would let him fight that pet, while Ann simply dusted off the dirt from her cloth.
"Do any of you have injuries? I will heal them." Noi offered her help as she observed all the party members.
"Heal these three. We are fine." Ann said as she pointed at Blake, Aiden, and Kate.
"Understood, guild master." Noi said as she nodded her head.
"Lets rest while you heal them." Ann said as she pointed at a space in the middle of the room that was empty and devoid of any dolls.
"You mean sitting in the middle of these dolls who were just attacking us?" Kate said as she pointed at the dolls.
"They aren't attacking us anymore, so there shouldn't be any trouble." Ann said as she looked towards Kate, who hesitated a bit.
"…Understood." She replied as she scratched her head.
'I forgot she was a crazy one.' She thought as they walked in the middle and sat there for rest.
As soon as they sat, Noi immediately went on to work as she walked up to Blake and pointed her palms toward him.
"Thank you," Blake said as he smiled toward her.
"Its just my duty." Noi spoke as she closed her eyes and started to mouth some words.
Her green book appeared and opened.
[Remedium aura]
A green hue left her hand as it engulfed Blake's budy.
Blake closed his eyes as he felt relaxed and energetic.
"Please stay still for a few moments." She said as she stood up and walked up to Kate to heal her.
"…No need, actually." Kate said as she refused Noi's help.
"W-why?" Noi asked as she tilted her head.
"I'm not injured, just a little tired. I will get better after some relaxing. You also have to save energy for yourself." She said as Noi became silent for a moment as she observed Kate's body for any kind of external wound but ultimately nodded her head as there wasn't any.
Turning away from Kate, Noi turned in the direction of Aiden as she hesitated a bit before walking up towards him.
In Noi's eye, Aiden was just sitting there, all silent and staring into the space.
In reality, Aiden was talking with Eden and the window about the dungeon stuff.
"Uh. Young master Aron." Noi called as Aiden appeared like he snapped into reality and looked towards Noi.
"Do you have any injuries? I can heal them." She said as Aiden just stared at her for some moment before nodding his head.
"I do have. Please go on." Aiden said as he closed his eyes.
'Sigh.'
Noi breathed some air of relief as she summoned her book, closed her eyes and started to mouth some words.
[Remedium aura]
Again, a green hue emerged from her palms as it engulfed Aiden's body.
Aiden sat still as he felt his pain in the stomach and face fade away while his fatigue left.
'T-this is enchanting.' Aiden thought as Eden laughed.
'Those punches must have hurt like hell.' He said as Aiden internally nodded his head.
"Uhm. So, is brother Louis your mentor?"
