In the 12th stratum outside of the town. The three of us started to move to save the kids in danger. After meeting the stranger named Ron, he gives us the intelligence about the route where the slave traders will take to get into another city to sell the slaves within their carriage. Ron told us that he has some kind of favor he needs to pay to the beastman tribe. That's why he wanted to find people who will help them. Saving beast man made his heart at ease.
At first, I was suspicious of Ron but seems like his a kind-hearted person.
Our team hides behind the rocks waiting for an ambush.
Taking a peek behind the rocks.
The carriage is guarded by four adventurers. In front was an Extraterrestrial with eight legs. Its physical appearance was like the small dragon with rough scales. Behind it was three carriages said to contain the slaves or the beast-man who were forcefully taken from their loved ones.
Fire burns in my heart as I think about the suff
“So sweet… She smells so nice…” Ron sniff Elaina’s neck while her arm warped around her neck. The strength of Ron’s was making Elaina have trouble breathing. One wrong move for Elaina will be her death. While the sword points on Elaina. Glenn and I need to be cautious in our actions. “You both seem to be worried… I will feel the same way if my fuck toy will be taken away from me. Do you fuck her? Did the two of you fuck her at the same time? I bet you did. You’re not a man if you endure sleeping with a beautiful woman without doing anything to her. Someone as beautiful as her will sell lots of money despite being used many times.” Elaina trembles in fear. It looks like she got trauma in men touching her body after the incident with Zeno. I didn’t notice it till now. She is a high-ranking adventurer, but it doesn’t mean she’s strong enough to face her fear. She is still a fragile woman after all. Physically and mentally. “Th
After the battle with the slave traders and dismantling Ron’s true motive. We are invited by the beast-man who aided us in the battle to visit their tribe. Since our party is planning on going down the layers of the dungeon. We happily accepted their invitation.Unlike the normal path. We took a path only beastman knows. It s a shortcut going to the 14th stratum. As usual, it was complete darkness in this area. Walking shortly we reached the main beast-man tribe.Giant towering treehouses are attached to it and a bridge connects each tree. Hang up on the trees were a number of lamps containing ores that can glow. Those lamps are the prime source of light in this place.As I look around. I started to wonder how these crops and trees grow up with the blessing of sunlight. Compare surface It's near impossible for trees to survive the harsh condition of the dungeon.Arriving the little girls saw their parents. They first made an emotional fac
Our discussion is over. The feast arrived on the table. The aroma let out from the food alone gives me the feeling of being full. We enjoyed ourselves with the plenty of food served to us. While eating a pretty girl with cat ears serve me another round of roasted meat. She took a glance at me and give me a sweet smile. My heart race after seeing her. It's truly inappropriate for me to look for another woman, but her cuteness is just different from humans. They have fluffy ears and tails. They have the face of a human and overall they are as human. Still, she’s very cute. Sorry, Yunis for my sin. I closed my eyes and repent. Elaina and Glenn still distancing themselves from each other. Elaina is still affected by the truth that Glenn would never gonna fell in love with her because of the curse he has. This truth truly hurt the heart of the maiden in love. But this distance between them irritates me. If we're going to travel toge
“I remember something like this from my master’s notes.” Elaina said. She then turned her head to her bag and took out a note. She rushed herself and searched for it. Reaching the page she presented it in front of us. “Be careful in the flower field of the 15th layer. If you spot one of these insects among the petals, you’ve found their nest. They disguise themselves as flowers and attack and implant their larvae inside organisms that come near them.” After reading, we heard a voice coming from the victim. “Who? Who? Who are… you? Save… me?” We’re disgusted and at the same time pity the man who falls victim to this insect. “They're dangerous. The larvae entered the head and created the perfect living meal for themselves. Innumerable extraterrestrials have been turned into living food sources, as well.” “If that’s the case then this place was supposed to be off-limits.” “They’ve already created a massive next within t
Diving down on the water, I hold my breath. A knife on my mouth and continues to swim downward to find the prey I’m looking for. Resembling the creature on the surface called fish. This extraterrestrial can also swim and breathe underwater. Its face is no different but it has eight legs with it and six eyeballs circle on its face.Beside me was Glenn who also dive down together with me. On our body was a rope tie to each other and the other end was held by Elaina. Its purpose was to make it easier for us to track down each other and void getting lost. It's already dark in the 16th layer. Diving down under its voided water body made it darker.Were able to see underwater because of the tool I got from Glenn. It serves as a lamp underwater. It's a glowing stone inside a glass. The glass was tightly made water can’t go inside of it.I was on my limit. After two minutes I will lose my breath. I need to go up.Before I go up.The
On the day, the knights attack the demon king castle. The shining stars appeared up in the sky. The star created a huge disturbance in mana around the continent. Overflowing it made an unexpected reaction. Like lightning, light struck down the whole continent. After the mana accident, The continent starts to have many missing people. Not even a trace of them was left. The effect was unknown but the star shone transparently still above the sky. The reason was unknown. Year after the knights fall. The kingdom grows weaker and weaker. Leading to the royal family stepping into the war zone. The reality wasn’t all pleasant. The royal family was defeated mercilessly by an unknown force. The only one left in the kingdom was two royal bloodlines. The coward prince Justine Lightcrest and Alina Lightcrest. The prince did his best to protect the kingdom. Will power is not enough. He's not brave enough. Like everyone said. He's a big coward. Living a luxurious life until
“I don’t sense any hostility from her… I guess it's good to be friends with her.” I muttered. Elaina was currently having a second thought. Looking to the girl's hands. She turned her eyes back to the girl's face wearing a beaming smile. After taking a deep breath inside her lungs, He made it out heavily. Elaina took the handshake. “Fine… I’ll be your friend. My name is Elaina, what’s yours?” “Hikari… My name is Hikari.” Hikari that name is a little odd. I feel like I heard that kind of name before. I just can’t remember it somehow. Thinking about it right now. Is useless, I better think of some useful things instead. She then turned a glance at me. She offered her hand and said: “Be my friend?” “Of course.” I replied and shake her hand. She then goes to Glenn and did the same thing. But Glenn held her hand tightly. Grabbing it and pulling her to his body. He stares directly into her eyes. “Gahhh
I remember Hikari for being surprised to see what humans look like. She referred to Elaina and us like her. I should expect Glenn to tell me something important. But it's also my fault for not using my brain thoroughly. This monster took my sword attack directly. No blood was seen gushing out on its body. His cut flesh formed back to its original state as nothing had happened. From his waist, he gets two daggers and wield. I go back on my sword stance pointing my sword directly at him. Surprisingly, The black robe has its body already bent down and hastily charged forward. He continuously slashes his dagger. While I focus myself on defecting every attack he threw. Waiting for the perfect time to strike. “Need a sample to have a human body.” I dodge its next attack. Turning my body on my left side. I turned my sword tip pointing to its head. Thrusting forward to its mouth. The blade goes behind its head. Like earlier, nobody's fluids we
