Chapter 38: Under The Heaven Devourer Mountain Range — 2
At the same time
"Hold your ground!!"
On the other side of the tunnel, where Leon and Arian were, a heated battle had also begun.
"Die!!"
At the front, the silver death knight Kilian could be seen swinging his sword and cutting through several large cave wyrms.
These creatures had started appearing little by little, first it was one, then it became two and now there were dozens of them popping out from the cave walls.
They had entered a wyrm hole, and getting out was becoming harder the deeper they went. But for some reason, Kilian didn't order their retreat.
He just went on killing As many wyrms as he could find.
"Wind work: Wind blade"
He wasn't the only one busy fighting, though. Arian and Dorian were at the very back, taking down the pockets of Wyrm coming from the back.
As the only level mages in this group, they had to fight. This was only natural.
"BloodSerpent work: Wind Snake Arrow"
Leon too was present and abet being in chains, he was still able to help Arian from afar, with the occasional wind snake arrow spell.
He was already getting good at it, even being able to summon up to four at once. There was enough time to practice, so it was only natural for him to improve vastly.
"Metal work: Tempered steel"
Opposite Arian, Dorian activated a spell that engulfed his body in a metallic glow. Just then a volley of arrows came flying towards the wyrm in front of him skewing it instantly.
"Nock your arrows!!" From behind, Anan directed the members of the death squad to assist those on the front line. Of course, this didn't include Arain and Leon.
They were left to fed for themselves.
"These guys are increasing, what the hell is he thinking!!" Leon screamed in his mind while slowly stepping backwards. The deeper they went, the more corpses appeared on the floor courtesy of the sliver death knight. But could they keep this up forever?
Contrary to their panic, Kilian the silver death knight was pretty clam. There was a principle, most experienced fighters of their level knew that low-level fighters wouldn't.
It was the same as the principle of GU creation. Wherever there's a gathering of monsters of the same type, there is bound to be something special.
And from this distance he could already tell that it was close. He wouldn't give up now because he cared for these weaklings. Worst turns to worst, he could just take Anan Dalriss and Arian finlay before escaping.
"Keep pushing!!!" He screamed at the top of his voice before proceeding to take out a potion and downing it.
"Roar!!!!" His eyes became blood-red then he continued slashing through the Wyrms.

30 minutes later
"Hmm, this should be it"
In front of a cocoon wrapped in a white Web-like substance, Kilian looked on with a smile on his face.
He had taken off his helmet, revealing red luscious hair on his head and a face that didn't look to be above 30.
"What's that? Some kind of life-form" Anan squinted his eyes while with some confusion.
This man had gone full maniac mode and cut down at least a hundred wyrms for whatever this was in front of them, so he wanted to know what it was.
"No, it's a treasure that's about to ripen. If it had gotten ready before we got here, they would go at each other until one of them remains"
"The victor would then proceed to eat it and see whether it can evolve"
Monsters in this world were willing to do anything and everything to evolve and become greater creatures. And most times they relied on naturally occurring treasures to achieve this. It made sense that this congregation was because of such a treasure.
"So do we just take it and leave ?" From behind the group, Leon asked with some skepticism.
They had killed so many wyrm but Leon couldn't pinpoint where they came from, there was a big possibility that more of them were coming.
"No, we can't leave now. The treasure isn't ready yet...." The silver death knight commented casually before proceeding to take a seat next to the numerous wyrm corpses.
"At least let me defend myself during the next wave" Leon looked at the Silver death knight with some annoyance before proceeding to ask for his release.
"Know your place, filthy warlock, we have already done away with the Monsters." Anan looked back at Leon and snorted.
Leon thought he could give commands here? He was just a good for nothing warlock slave. They would not release him.
However,
—Clang Clang
In the next second, Leon's chains fell to the ground. He was uncuffed.
"You...." Anan felt some momentary shock. Even Arian wouldn't dare to free Leon in front of sir Kilian so who would dare.
He slowly turned around and looked towards where the strike that release Leon came from, and surprisingly, his eyes landed on Kilian figure.
"He's right, the second wave his coming. Do well to keep them at bay" The sliver death knight said causally before turning around to look at the treasure on the wall.
The treasure wasn't gone, so it would continue to attract wyrms. Naturally, they had to fight them off.
"Hmp." Leon sneered at Anan before pulling out his two daggers from his waist.
—krrrrrrrrrr
From the sides of the walls, more and more Wyrms started emerging from the walls. This fight was far from over.
Unknown to them, most of the new wave of Wrym didn't actually come here for the treasure. No, in fact they were just running for their lives because, deep underground a massive creature was currently throwing a tantrum.
Its rage alone scared most of the lifeforms away while it chased down the blood serpent clan members.
