Ryan and Gabrielle tried to hold off some of the Plaguelins as they attacked, but their attacks were feeble as they continued to multiple rapidly.
Ryan knew that there would be no end to this as he told Gabrielle to back off and run.
Gabrielle understood what he meant by that and sheathed her sword as she ran.
Ryan on the other hand continued to shoot at the creatures as they began mutating, taking on monstrous forms. He continued to attack while Gabrielle ran. His defenses was weakening as he couldn't keep them from moving forward.
Suddenly a creature came out of the pile of dead corpse as it swung it's claw at Ryan's face, attempting to end him in one swift move.
Ryan who saw this quickly sidestepped the creature's attack as it left a slight cut on the side of his face.
Ryan knew it couldn't hold them off much longer as he activated his skill and made a quick escape from the hoard of monsters. He quickly caught up to Gabrielle in no time as he carried her and headed for the next chamber.
The creatures were relentless as they continued to charge at him. Though he was fast with his skill, the creatures were not left behind as they quickly caught up to him each in their own desperate attempt to catch their prey.
Ryan knew that he would be at a disadvantage on the ground as he jumped into air and started running. The skill he had acquired from Ren started to pay out as he could walk on air and water making him able to move at blinding speed.
Before long they were at the chamber door. Ryan tried pushing it open but was not able to. He then uses mana to open.
Quickly they went inside, locking out the evil behind them.
Ryan put Gabrielle whom he was carry down as he stop to catch his breath. He raised his head and realized that Gabrielle had a werid expression on her face.
She was a blushing, her face visible red as she wore a cute smile.
"Ding!!"
A mechanical chime rang in Ryan's head.
[You have gained increased affection from Gabrielle
Affection:60/80
Favorability:59/60
You can now proceed to dominate her]
'How can she be blushing in this situation?' That was the first thing Ryan said to himself.
He had to be careful from now on, he didn't want to increase any of her meters towards him. Having a lustful succubus trapped with you was worst than hell.
He knew he would be in trouble if her meter kept going higher. Succubus tend to get 'aggressive' when they are not able to satisfy their lust. Once triggered, it doesn't stop until they have sex with someone.
And the last thing Ryan wanted was to find himself in a fucking session in the middle of a Trial.
"We better get going" Ryan said as he could still sense the Plaguelins behind them.
Gabrielle was suddenly jolted out of her fantasy into reality.
They were now in the fifth chamber, as they were almost close to the final chamber. They kept an eye out as they expected to see S rank monsters. They stayed vigilant as Ryan's eyes seemed to roam the whole passageway as they walked almost piercing through the walls with his gaze, while Gabrielle clenched her sword tightly ready to unsheath it at an moment.
The duo continued as they were met with yet another challenge.
They stood in front of a Dragon Serpet. Ryan hadn't even sensed it's spetra energy as it just appeared from nowhere. They stood before the mighty beast as it raised it's wings revealing it's glory before them before attacking.
Ryan wasn't bothered about the size of the creature in front of him. What worried him most was the fact that he could sense any negative energy from it as it was covered in positive energy.
This worried Ryan as he couldn't understand, he didn't know whether his senses were deceiving or he was right about the creature before him.
The dragon hesitated for a bit before proceeding to attack them. The duo jump backward in order to avoid it's attack.
Ryan could sense a bit of fear from the dragon as it continued to attack.
Gabrielle unsheathed her sword and leaped foward as she the monster down with a powerful blow. The dragon fell down to the ground as it wailed in agony.
Ryan on the other was just sensing mixed feelings from the dragon.
Gabrielle proceeded to decapitate the dragon's head as it laid there helpless.
Ryan saw this and wondered why the dragon didn't get back up even after seeing it was about to get killed. Most monsters and demons often fight to the death as they have nothing to leave for, just to kill and destroy everything in their paths.
The dragon laid there as it awaited it's end. Ryan immediately stopped Gabrielle from attacking.
Gabrielle had a curious expression on her as to why he stopped her.
Ryan walked towards where the defeated dragon laid.
"What are you doing??" Gabrielle said her voice laced with curiosity and anger.
Ryan just ignored her as he went towards the dragon. As he stepped closer he could sense fear growing in its heart.
Ryan bent in front of the dragon as he looked into its eyes. He wasn't worried off it attacking as he would be able to blow apart its head before it could take a swing at it.
"What are you?" Ryan said as he stared deeper into it's eyes.
Gabrielle on the other hand just watched in confusion as she tried to uh understand why Ryan stopped her from ending its life.
Ryan closed his eyes and focused as tried to sense any magical energy from it. Luckily, Ryan was right as he sensed a magical green energy from the beast.
"Show your true form" Ryan said in a cold and commanding tone.
With that a magical green energy began to envelop the dragon as it slowly disappeared and a figure was created out of the light revealing a young girl.
"I was right" Ryan muttered as he stood in awe of the transformation before him.
