Chapter 274: Entering The Monster
Jim didn't hesitate to accelerate the next instant. He knew he had to find out the weakness fast. Not only to get into the monster and get himself rescued, but for the later clashes.
After all he was pretty much sure that the inside of that monster was filled with such strong Bulltors.
He moved in an arched path to bypass them. He feigned his desire to avoid the group. And that was instantly noticed by the group of Bulltors.
"As if we'll let you evade us!" one of them shouted while the entire group ran towards the side to block the path in front of Jim.
"Slow," Jim felt at ease the moment he assessed their speed. In fact he wasn't using his full speed yet. But even so he was moving much faster than them.
When they moved to intercept him, he changed his path abruptly and headed directly towards the protrusion. This sudden change startled the group who couldn't stop their advance and change their direction as easily as Jim.
"Stop him!"
"Someone close the opening!"
"Don't let him in!"
"Too late for that!" just as they realized they were tricked with this simple and childish tactic, they started to shout with all their might. However Jim was already using his full speed this time and he was already upon the protrusion.
Jim snorted while watching his three warriors killing everything in their path and dominated the opening at last.
"Get in," Jim shouted when he became closer, "clear the path inside for me!"
He didn't know what waited for him inside, but he had an idea about the situation there. His warriors seemed strong and capable, or else the group of strong Bulltors would attack them instead of targeting him.
He was the leader, but he wasn't the one closest to the protrusion. Their movement seemed like they were aiming for the head of the enemy forces, but he felt they just feared clashing with his warriors.
His warriors acted in such terrifying ways that would shock anyone. Jim didn't find it strange for the Bulltors to have doubts regarding facing his warriors.
And that meant he still had a good chance in clearing this quest. Right now he started to see why the dean insisted on this quest.
Jim thought the dean was going to send him to a group of his men acting under the umbrella of the resistance. But now Jim realized he was mistaken.
The dean simply sent him towards one of the toughest places of the resistance. Just the idea of having the base hidden inside such a flying monster was something unbelievable to Jim.
The presence of such intact Bulltors meant this group wasn't easy. Despite that Jim didn't feel much worry as he had a plan.
But he first needed to enter the monster and secure his place there.
"It looks lively down there," as he reached the protrusion, he could see it was like a spiral tunnel heading for some distance to the center of that gigantic monster. Deep there he could see flashes of bright light and many sounds of brutal fighting.
He knew his warriors couldn't be stopped. Who could stop such a race fighting by just absorbing the soul power of those around them? It was simply scary though and he was glad he had more of these warriors under his command.
"I still have a minute to spare here," as he found out the monster didn't flip over its side totally, Jim started to work upon summoning more of his warriors here.
"Go, help your brothers in there," he said to the five warriors he summoned before the group of Bulltors arrived on top of his head.
"You'll die here!" one of them said in threat while others started to wave their hammer like heavy weapons.
"Sorry, I have a meeting down there," but Jim didn't stand in his place and instead he jumped inside the opening.
He could have stayed and fought a little with them. He knew they were strong, much stronger than Deno.
But he wasn't weak either! His strength wasn't that low compared to them or even slightly better.
Plus his sword could slash against anything, and with the ice energy he could freeze any enemy in front of him.
But fighting against them here was pointless. He had to enter the body of the monster and see things there with his own eyes.
As he rapidly fell through the spiral tunnel, he landed heavily on soft ground. To his surprise, he landed on a piece of land covered in green grass.
"They can plant things here?" He was surprised to see trees carrying fruits all around. It was like he was inside a garden, not the body of the monster.
The area he landed inside looked spacious and extended beyond the reach of his eyes. The light came not from a single spot but from many places, acting like stars shining brightly with yellow and red light.
That added a tinge of brutality to the world here. It wasn't a surprise for him to see the bodies of the Bulltors and other races he didn't know around painted in red and brown colors.
"Kill him!" one shout appeared from one direction before a group of attacks landed in a domineering fashion on the top of his head.
"You really live to your reputation of warm welcoming your guests," despite the sudden attack, Jim simply moved fast using his wings and boots to evade them all.
His voice echoed amidst the chaos that was caused by his eight warriors. However as he came here, he realized eight wasn't enough.
The number of his enemies extended till the end of his sight! For him it looked like he just drowned into a sea of enemies.
"Come forth now!" As this was the case, he didn't waste anymore time in fighting and kept summoning more warriors while evading the attacks.
His speed and agility provided total security for him. Despite him being trapped and cornered like this, attacked from all directions with various spells, he didn't get hurt even once!
