Chapter 253: Raid dungeon (45)
In the end, I had no choice but to follow the mummy and the rest of the group all followed me.
The other three groups were confused about what was happening, but my group had grim looks on their faces as they recognized that this wasn't a good thing.
The fact that we were being called by this mummy and in such an urgent manner most likely meant that something had happened. If something happened, it was very likely that this was related to the mummy leader.
Right now, we wanted to stay as far away from the mummy leader as possible to draw as little attention as we could.
But now it didn't seem like we had a choice.
So we had no choice but to follow the mummy to the floor boss' room.
As we headed over, I went forward and moaned a few times, using the Suggestion skill to ask this mummy what this was about.
However, all the mummy did was shake its head.
The gestures that it made seemed like it was saying that it didn't know what was happening either. It seemed like all it knew was that it had been told to bring them over as soon as they came back.
I couldn't help deeply knitting my brows when I saw this.
The other three groups were still confused, but they were slowly starting to understand what was happening.
As they did, they began to feel more and more tense.
The looks on their faces even made it seem like they were preparing to fight their way out.
So I quickly turned around and gestured with my hands for them to calm down.
They looked like they weren't willing, but I was able to get them to calm down in the end.
That was until we made it to the floor boss' room.
As soon as we arrived in this place and the pressure came from within, all of them tensed up again. They all reached for their weapons as if they were trapped and wanted to fight their way out.
So I had no choice but to use my Hypnosis on them.
I didn't really want to since there was the risk of exposing myself, but it was better than the other option of having to fight my way out.
So I said in a soft voice that they could hear, "Calm."
As soon as they heard my voice, their tense expressions slowly relaxed.
But this was also heard by the mummy who turned around to look at me with a strange look.
It moaned and gestured, as if it was asking me if I said something.
I quickly shook my head and moaned to deny this.
The mummy looked at me with the same strange look for a bit, but it dropped it in the end and waved its hand for us to follow it in.
When it pushed open the door, the pressure that came from within was even stronger.
This was a pressure that we hadn't felt before…it was as if the mummy leader was facing off against something or…it was preparing for something.
When the mummy on the throne saw us come in, the pressure that it released suddenly stopped and it stood up to come over to me. It took me by the shoulder and pulled me over to the stairs to the third floor before saying, "The time has finally come. It's time for us to invade the third floor and take down that tyrant ruling over this place."
I couldn't help revealing a shocked look when I heard this.
The mummy leader felt the tremble in my body and even though it couldn't see my 'face' through the bandages of the illusion, it knew what I was feeling. So the mummy leader said, "I know that this surprises you, so let me tell you why I'm doing this."
It let go of my shoulder and walked over to the stairs, staring up towards the third floor.
I slowly came up behind him and stared up too, but I found that we weren't able to see a single thing other than the roof. The stairs were so tall that we weren't able to see the third floor at all.
After a moment of silence, the mummy leader said, "I believe that the lord gave me this power to liberate us and bring us into the outside world." Then its eyes turned sharp as it said, "However, the tyrant up there believes that this power was given to us to defend our lands and to ensure that no invaders come again. Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l'e|m,p-y r
Instead of using the power given to us to invade the outside world, it insists on staying in this place and ruling over this small piece of land."
The mummy leader gave a sigh before continuing, "I have tried many times to convince that fool, but it just wouldn't listen. So I've had no choice but to gather my troops and fight it out with that fool. I hope that it will come to see reason once I beat some sense into it."
I couldn't help knitting my brows even more when I heard this.
Just from this, I had picked up several clues.
It seemed that the dungeon boss had also been affected by whatever it was that affected this floor boss…
It seemed that the two bosses were currently at odds about the power that they had been given and what they should do with it.
And it seemed that there was a war imminent between these two sides.
This was all very important information that would completely change what we were planning to do.
In fact, this made our jobs much easier as long as we used this information against them…
So the first thing that popped into my mind was that we should go back.
We had to report this to Tie Gang and come up with a new plan.
But the question was, how were we supposed to go back?
