“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
It's a little short.
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
I wonder what's happening on Glenn and Retto? They are both dragged away from me and I have a bad feeling about it. This might be the thing they called gut feeling. Before the danger comes you have this uneasy feeling lingering on your chest. Opposite to that feeling. The room where I was dragged into was rather comfortable looking. I grow up in a house mostly constructed with woods. There are walls everywhere and no windows. I can’t even imagine how the air goes inside this facility. I seat on the chair. In front of me was a table. Opposite to my chair was a young red-haired girl named Hikari. “Is the tea not into your liking?” She asked. “No… No… That’s not it, the tea is very great.” “I see, I’m glad about that… This is my first time having a human friend so I’m very happy.” Hikari smiled. There is no sign of hostility in her actions. I can’t even think of Hikari as a bad person at all. I thought all of those t
“Retto… what takes you so long?” “Save us Retto…” “Save us…” I have a bad dream. Everyone in the village, the knights, and my comrades are all drenched with blood. They constantly called my name and asked for help. They pulled my body down to the lake of blood. I’m drowning… … … … I woke up chasing my breath and having cold sweat. “You woke up… Seems like you have a bad dream.” “Yeah, it was a nightmare. We’re back in the 16thlayer, Misty lake. Elaina and I are both exhausted after escaping from the Laboratory. Glenn’s body regenerated back to normal but he is still unconscious for some reason we don’t know. Elaina was so troubled she didn’t let go of Glenn’s hands. She keeps on holding it as she looks out for him. “Aren’t you sleeping? We already traveled a long way. 16 hours already passed… You must be really tired?” I asked Elaina. “I’m
Looking at Velrum with bloodlust eyes. I harshly kick the ground. I held my sword tightly as I can. Causing me to transform into my armor form. Charging at him with my sword in front. I slashed him.“Stellar Armor Grand Chariot? The relic already chose its new master…”He catches my sword with his bare palm.My strength was multiplied ten times from my normal. Why I’m not able to pull my sword away from his grip? Just how strong is his grip?I continue to struggle pulling my sword.Behind me, Elaina and Glenn made their move. Elaina launched a magical attack. Pushing him back. He lost his grip and focus on another sword going for his head.Glenn’s sword lit up in crimson red color. Magical force channeled on his sword. His sword was attempting to strike Velrum’s nape. But the sword before reaching his nape. Was blocked with Velrum’s arm armor.“Arial!”Velrum chanted.<
It doesn’t take too long before the platform was standing stopped. The three of us stepped out of the platform. We took our first step to the 81stlayer called Nature Coliseum. The surrounding area is full of giant thick roots encircles around forming a dome. The roots around sprouted little buds that can glow. There is nothing much around. All I can see is the plain and the cave that might lead us to the 82ndlayer. “?!” I immediately sense the presence of people coming on our way. There is a countless number of them. Hiding from the giant roots. Knights covered with gray steel armor came falling one by one. I put my hand on the handle of my sword immediately. Getting myself ready for battle. “After the battle between Velrum… We have to face another fight. I’ll be counting on you again. Glenn, Elaina…” I turned my head around and saw Glenn and Elaina already unconscious. Their body facing down o
