Chapter 49: Killing Two Boss Monsters Part 2
Every step I took was accompanied by an echoed sound in this dark creepy empty tunnel. I walked for half an hour till I reached the place of that boss monster.
I calmed myself as much as I could, after all this confrontation was detrimental to the fate of my team. If we fell right here, there would be no future for us.
The novice village was full of players who were trying to kill me. One misstep here and I would wake up in the village resurrection point, where I would face a dark fate.
On the contrary, if I succeeded here and managed to exit this dungeon, I would be at level 10 at the least. So, I could move on to the town, where my safety would be ensured and my team would have a chance to grow.
All of this depended on this little distance that separated me from entering into that monster cave. I took a deep breath as I walked slowly towards that end.
My mind was full of many scenarios, I wasn't trying to act cool here, but in fact I was terrified.
I had used this method since I was in my kingdom where I tried to distract my shaky mind away from fear, after all if I faced this monster with my overwhelming fear then I would lose no doubt.
I drove myself into thinking positively hoping that would actually work. The cave I stepped in raising my spear high up was still dark, but once I walked a few steps inside it, the ground shook violently as a huge monster appeared in front of me blocking my way.
It was so huge; with very long 15 arms that were moving alongside his huge body like huge pythons.
This time I blamed myself for taking such a risk, and I thought seriously about running back to the team with my life. The fear of death was the most hideous feeling I had in my entire life.
"You bastard, you killed all my siblings and now you came to kill me? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
A strange strong sound appeared coming from that monster accompanied by a blow of air like a huge storm that pushed my body back a few meters from its violence.
This time, I didn't think of any scenario at all, as one thought possessed me at this single moment… running away from here.
I didn't wait for my body to stabilize, as I turned around and used the momentum I got from this monster's explosive words and started to run.
"Do you think you can escape from me? You are delusional; I will kill you all, you and your little bastards that killed my boys. "
I didn't care about this threat; as if it wanted to kill me then it had to catch me first. I looked back over my shoulders to check if it was about to attack me with its huge arms, but I didn't see any arm moving from its original place.
What I noticed, though, was the shaking that huge body had. It was reverberating strongly that even its surface was bulging out and caving in like it was dying.
I didn't know what this monster planned to do, but I didn't intend to stop even for a second to check it. Curiosity sometimes would kill, so I looked straight forward and continued to run as I entered the dark creepy tunnel again.
I didn't stop except after a few minutes to catch my breaths. Just I rested for a few seconds; I felt a soft tremble of the ground. It was as if hooves of huge horses were causing it, which was kind of weird to me.
I listened closely to hear faint sounds coming from that end of the tunnel. That sound, accompanied by the trembling, increased in intensity second after second.
Whatever that monster did, it was coming near me, and it was coming fast. I made up my mind, whatever was coming towards me I had to face it.
My teammates are resting in peace behind me; at least I need to know what the danger was threatening them. I stood firmly on the ground raising my spear upfront and waited.
My wait didn't last long, as in a couple of minutes I saw the nature of this incoming threat, they were small cragen monsters like the ones I and my team killed before.
The difference here was that their numbers were huge, much more than the monsters we faced from before. The secret of this dungeon hit me suddenly like a tornado, as a crazy thought popped up in my mind.
'Shin, listen to me and act rapidly. Go to the dragon boss cave. Don't ask about reason as I have no time at all to explain.
Go there and return to the team when you have more dragons chasing you. Tell me when you are close to the team. Don't delay, move now or we are all going to die.'
I sent this message to Shin privately and then I ignored anything else as I totally focused up ahead. Shin would need roughly one hour to go and return from that dragon boss monster's den.
My plan was simple, which was to fight darkness with fire like we always did. The issue here was in the time needed for Shin to do his role. I hoped he moved faster than mine, as I doubted I could last all this time in one piece.
The first thing I did was to use the most valuable skill from the start. Although I would need it later to delay the advance of these monsters, using it early on would make it the first skill to cooldown.
These cragens reached me in no time, as they started to hit me with their arms. I got a lot of experience dealing with a group of them, although I dealt with 8 not 50 like now.
My high agility coupled with my old experience at evading any incoming attacks helped me to sustain all the pressure coming towards me. At this time, I used my first skill.
"Gravity skill."
