- Don't get in my way."Don't fall under my spell," I warned.She did not have time to answer, as a growl was heard ahead. We tensed at once, I noticed how Christa hurried to stand behind me.Appeared from the darkness. Dog? Wolf? I don't know what to call this creature. It is similar in build to a wolf, only larger in size, the muzzle is disproportionately huge, instead of wool there is red embossed shiny skin. The mouth is open, showing a row of teeth sharp as steel spikes. The creature has four eyes - two on each side, more like four cuts that open slightly and become visible green iris and pupils elongated like a snake. Xag moves on paws similar to lion's - the same massive with sharp claws. From his back, like the Howls, four long, sharp tentacles protrude, similar to the legs of a spider. It seems that xag can stand on them and walk.- Ready! – commanded Tanchi, threw away the torch, the sword pointed towards the monster.Chaos Hound abruptly, without warning, jumped towards the

Depths of darkness. Part 3- Christa, no! Aki rushed forward with a cry.This cry brought me out of my daze. I immediately threw an ice block at the monster. She punched the creature in the paw. She squealed, turned to me, fire flared in her eyes, and then an arrow hit one of them. Green blood spattered and ran down his muzzle.- She is still alive, we must quickly soak this creature! shouted Mist. - Pounce! Tanchi, come in from the other side, we'll clamp it.The boy nodded, grimacing at the pain in his torn chest, ran around the elite hound, raising his shield. The warriors cut at the same time, which indicates a long team work. Xag tried to answer, but at that moment, a heavy arrow fired from Osh's bow hit his chest, piercing the skin and sinking deep into the body. The beast roared and chose the archer as its target, but Aki and Weasel came from behind, delivered several quick blows. Their hands spattered with blood, the creature squealed, one of the hind legs twisted unnaturally,

- Yes, a metal breastplate. So attacks in the back are most relevant. Also, Tim, don't try to paralyze him. He has 50% status resistance, which means that the chance that you paralyze him is halved, as is the paralysis time. And in order to attack with lightning, you have to get closer and be within the attack radius of the cleaver. Even with stone skin, you might not survive the attack. And one more thing - he has resistance to fire magic, so use mostly ice.- Good. Understood.- Well, I sort of explained everything, you will understand the rest along the way. The main thing is to see how the others act,” said the Fog.“Uh-huh, unless some surprises start again,” Weasel muttered.The guildmaster's gaze turned grim.- Here you are right, today everything is going somehow wrong, not as usual. So just in case... run. Tim, I have a personal request for you. Look after Krista and Rox. You've already proven you can protect them and you have the magic you need, so take them away if you need

The demon punched, but the girl dodged the attack, at that moment my ice block hit my face with force. The demon roared, and gates flared up around the circle of the arena, and then dozens of hounds jumped out of them.- Center! Fog cried out in despair. - Aki, Laska, the hounds are on you. Tanchi, cover the magicians, I'm doing well. Krista, Rox, fuck me. Osh, Tera, help the killers. Tim, cover the healers.The healers and I moved under the protection of Tanchi, while the Mist distracted the demon. Aki and Weasel ran around the site, randomly attacking one hound, then another, but could not distract everyone. Two rushed at us, deftly dodging the arrows of the archers. Tanchi shifted sharply, the xag ran into the shield, the swordsman hit the creature with force in the stomach. She jumped back, screeching and splattering blood. Another one ran into me. More precisely, she rushed towards Krista and Rox, but I got in the way. The claws cut painfully across the chest, but the stone skin

Depths of darkness. Part 4I woke up abruptly, like a man who overslept without hearing the alarm, and suddenly realized it. He quickly jumped to his feet. Looks like I'm still alive. The gaze was focused on the upper left corner. The hit points are full, and the level is now 9. It crunched under my feet. I looked down. Beneath me are a bunch of greenish shards.For a few seconds I did not understand what it was, but suddenly I realized that it was a crystal with the energy of chaos. Apparently falling, I hit the crystal and split it. All thanks to stone skin. I remember watching a video a long time ago in which a convinced jeweler placed a small diamond on a press, and then the broadcaster hit it with a hammer. The jeweler was sure that the diamond would hold up - after all, it is one of the strongest minerals in the world. Only now a blow with a hammer, made without much effort, turned the diamond into powder. Apparently it happened here as well. Only my body, covered with stone ski

But it is not surprising. The dungeon has become stronger, which means that the boss has become more dangerous and tenacious.The saddest part is that I can't get out of here without killing him. Damn, how many hit points does he have anyway?I attacked again. A message appeared that 43 damage was dealt to the enemy. He dodged, the lightning broke from his hand and, striking into the water, scattered to the sides with a discharge. The enemy shook, an op swept through the area, and I was informed that 44 damage had been done. The spread is because lightning deals 35 damage, if you add 25% of the magic attack modifier to that, you get an incomplete number - 43.75. That is why the number 43 appears every three strokes.The mana is over, and the demon, though breathing heavily, is still alive. I dodged another bunch of black flames, staggered. It floated before my eyes. There is heat and closeness around, steam rises from the water. It's hard to breathe.“You will die even if I never hit

I looked up, but above me there was only solid blackness. It will be necessary to get up and take away the equipment and items from the guys, and even take them out and bury them or something.I looked around the area. It's strange, but it seems like it's getting darker. The light from the stones became dim, visibility dropped to a minimum. As soon as I thought about it, the space around me began to tremble. I heard a crunch, and then a huge stone emerged from above from the darkness and hit with a roar a few steps away from me. Stone chips splattered in all directions.I rushed to the wall, grabbed, pulled myself up. It looks like this cave was created using chaos magic, but once the crystal was destroyed, it began to leave the walls of the cave and eventually dried up so much that everything began to collapse.I climbed at top speed. At this critical moment, the great climber woke up in me. All the films, climbing programs immediately surfaced in my memory, where it was shown how pe

Alchemy.At first, I tensed, thinking that my troubles were not over yet, but when I saw Alex among the fleeing ones, I calmed down.Why don't you reply to messages? Where are the others? he murmured, running up to me.Armed men who looked almost the same as some typical celebrity bodyguards - all tall, muscular, with serious faces, in identical suits - helped me out.Just now I noticed blinking icons in the lower left corner, announcing a private message. In general, while crawling in a narrow passage, and then digging the ground, I was so focused that I did not notice such trifles.- Somehow it was not before, - I muttered, shaking off the ground.- So what about the others? The guys were on my friend list, and then suddenly notifications about their deaths began to come.I winced slightly and looked down. Before the eyes again began to flash pictures of the battle, when they began to kill one after another. I felt like I was back in the arena. Again he ran across the monster, but w
