Chapter 5 - Dungeon Baron

The phantom wrapped his hands covered by the dirt rag around the archer. Covering his mouth.

"Mmmm-MMMMM," the archer tried to scream but his teammates didn't look back and even if they did there was only fog.

The stealth goblin snuck up to the archer and stabbed him in the heart. The phantom quietly put the dead elf on the ground.

'One down,four to go,' thought Bright.

"Hey there's burn marks here," the burn marks left from the Skeleton was noticed by the elf next to the leader.

The Mage noticed that the archer vanished not being able to sense his presence anymore.

"Hey, where's the boy gone?"

"Shit,he's gone," said the elf stood by the leader.

The remaining four elves went into formation two on the front and one on the rear. The Mage in the middle.

Bright ordered the goblin to use [invisible] and sneak up to the mage.

The goblin raised his two daggers ready to behead the Mage but a sword came swinging down. The goblin lost his right arm

and was losing blood fast. The leader held a double sided axe in his hand and swung round his body. The axe connected with the goblins neck.

[Your stealth goblin has been killed.]

Bright was now even more worried. It was now a 3v4 and in terms of both experience and skill. He was now losing.

The leader elf was big and muscly.He was not afraid of the fog and continued forward. They were about to reach the end of the fog and step into the recently built narrow pathway.

But Bright casted [Commander's roar]. A Loud echo of a roar that sounded like its from a dragon bounced off the walls.

The skeleton, the phantom and Bright had a new found strength.

The phantom jumped onto the elves face on the rear and Bright cut his body in two at the torso.

The smoldering skeleton ran into the mage wildly swinging his scorching hot sword around. The mage casted [Nature's barrier]

and many green vines rose from the ground blocking the skeletons path but the Skeleton was scorched to the bone.

It's bones and sword burnt the vines to a crisp. The skeleton without hesitation ran to the mage and wildly cut him apart leaving him in cinders.

"AHHHHHH," screamed the Mage in his last moments.

The leader used [whirl wind] and spun around with his axe trying to smash the Skeleton apart.

The massive axe missed and swung into the fog. Bright charged into the leader ducking low to dodge the sword. The phantom ran behind the big elf man and charged into him.

The smoldering skeleton just charged into the man and got sliced apart by the big axe.

[You skeleton has been killed.]

Bright swung his sword up and the leader was going to bring his axe above his head and swing down but a phantom grappled onto his arm. Immobilising his right arm.

You wouldn't think the phantom would be that heavy but the weight of the darkness was heavier than the elf expected.

Bright's sword connected with the leader's chin and pierced through to the top of his head. The end of the sword poke out of the muscly elfs head and was covered in blood.

Bright removed the sword and crimson rain infected his eyes. He stood in the same position and looked at the sword hole in the elf man's head.

A wide smile plastered onto his face and he grinned into his creation showing off his blood red teeth stained by the crimson rain.

Beams of light rose from the four victims and entered the dungeons core.

[Converting 132 life energy into corruption.]

[Your stealth goblin and smoldering skeleton may be revived for 7 corruption each.]

'Wait, four. Wasn't there five.'

Bright swung his head around and saw the fleeing elf. Bright threw his sword and it scraped the elfs arm causing him to start losing blood.

Unfortunately the elf managed to escape.

[Intruder has fled from the dungeon.]

Bright found it rather annoying his prey has escaped and that his dungeon will now be known by others.

But Bright now had 179 total corruption gained from slaying his prey.

"Only seven corruption to revive each monster."

[The revival will be half the amount of total corruption spent on the monster]

Bright then spent 14 corruption to revive the stealth goblin and smouldering skeleton.

Bright now had 165 corruption remaining.

Bright used 50 corruption to upgrade himself and another 50 corruption to evolve the phantom. Bright gained 10 stat points and a new skill. The phantom evolved into E+ trickster.

Bright then had 65 corruption to spend and corrupted 2 spiders for 15 each. Then he corrupted 4 skeletons and 3 goblins.

Four regular skeletons and three regular goblins appeared in front of Bright. Bright now has 12 corrupted monsters in total and he needed them to stay somewhere.

On the other side of Snowblood mountain the old professor scoured the entirety of the western border of the Reinfall Kingdom.

He wasn't able to find a trace of the children and so venture round Snowblood mountain into the elven kingdom of Avaloria.

He quickly found a shattered elven arrow. He found a trail of blood and decided to follow the trail of blood but mysteriously the trail stops at a tree in the woods.

The professor quickly fled back to where he left his students and returned to the academy to report the situation.
