The three stepped into the dungeon, and the bright gleam blurred their vision. When they adjusted their sight, they were back on the Northern square in the city area, however, rather than scrutinizing the region. Catherine and Salina swivel around and wait for Tejasv to appear.Daemon, on the other hand, beside them rolled his eyes around to check his surroundings for any hostility or enemy waiting for an ambush. He squinted his eyes and clutched his knuckles, preparing to face off.Catherine and Salina frowned and their brows became wet since the time was over and there was no sight of Tejasv from the portal. They swallowed and almost lost all hope when the timer hit the last second.Despondent in their fate, they fell to their knees and despaired to wail for their leader's no return. However, before the portal could close itself, a silhouette leaped from it with a long dive and swift movements.Catherine and Salina jumped with joy and rushed to the person since he was their leader,
Tejasv and his team concentrated on the incoming voice and clenched their respective weapons in a defensive stance. Daemon stood forward in the front while Salina was in the center, shielded by Tejasv and Catherine from the sidelines.While others still had solicitude over the fight in their present conditions, Daemon was the only one raging to have a face-off with some bastards or monsters. All of them, whether it be Daemon or Tejasv, have difficulty in calming their heavy breath and dismayed hearts.The human scream left them stunned since it didn’t sound like a confident or trance person charging for a fight but felt like someone rushing away from something terrifying. Due to the immensity of fear in the voice, Tejasv and the team felt jitters more and more.Suddenly, a person appeared behind a building beside the cross-section of the road, shrouded by blood and multiple wounds and bruises. He ran towards the Northern square with a loud yell, his wide eyes welling with tears.Tejas
The events happening currently before Tejasv and others were horrendous and terrifying, but due to the charging and raging, daunting beasts incoming towards them, they didn't have enough time to consider or even ponder the causes behind these events.Although everyone in the Tejasv team knew the outcome of these two parties would be a direct clash for survival, none of them took even a step forward to save the man begging them for aiding him who was running towards them.Tejasv had a different mindset in these situations; rather than putting his life on the line for a stranger, he would either stay back or take his time to strike at the foe who was posing a threat to his companions.For such a reason, he stood still in his position and even signaled others in his team to stay back for a counterattack on those two beasts at the right moment. His gesture was directly aimed at Catherine since anyone would notice her hatred. If not halted beforehand, she would've divided out of formation
The vibration reverberated from the steps of Tejasv and Daemon startling the gnomes engaged in thrashing the corpse of the dead man. As their ears twitched due to their sensitive senses, they turned around to glance at the origin of the vibrations.Their eyes widen, and they grind their teeth with groans at the sight of two humans coming toward them with weapons and hostility. They were alarmed by the humans, and because of their instincts, they stood anxiously with their claws out in front with reflex action.The gnomes roared at Tejasv and Daemon while grunting from their anger at how some humans dared to intervene in their lunch. It was evident from their expressions that none of them expected petty human prey to charge towards them for being offensive.Oppositely, on the other side, Tejasv and Daemon grinned and sprint swiftly to the gnomes' position. They firmly clenched their weapons and taunted the beasts with counter roars. Both of them also growled to intimidate and provoke t
Tejasv signaled the Daemon and gestured to him to strike along with him as fiercely as he could muster his strength against those gnomes. Both of them snorted together and glanced back at those monsters before them.Not only did they have a plan and the intention to destroy the enemy before them, but even the gnomes also had enough of these humans. They groaned and grumbled due to the pain and agony in their bodies.The gnomes dived back from Tejasv and Daemon to counterplan something to their advantage. They pulled back the arrows stuck close to the joints of their limbs since they proved a hurdle in moving their bodies.Their movements were swift enough to leave Tejasv and Daemon stunned at their positions. Not only that, but the exhausted conditions of Tejasv and Daemon also aided the gnomes in these actions.Now both sides were prepared to strike back and battle once again. Tejasv and Daemon struggled to compose their heavy breath, while the gnomes also had a hard time enduring th
The gnomes screeched in pain and were left stunned by the attack. Gradually, their expressions paled and the strength faded from their muscles. They felt cold, and the blood splattered like a running stream, mixing with the blood on the floor.Tejasv and Daemon resumed peering at the cold and lifeless figures of gnomes slowly falling to the floor with no resistance or retaliation. It was evident this battle was over the moment Tejasv and Daemon pierced the monster's chest.They snorted and composed their breathing. They swiveled back and signaled thumbs up to Catherine and Salina for the confirmation of victory. They even took a deep breath and slightly smirked at each other.When Catherine and Salina received the signal, a calm and relieved grin appeared on their faces. They smiled at each other and sighed with relief. Both of them were jovial from their victory since Salina bested the enemies in her debut battle.She was overwhelmed and precise as a top sniper. Now, none could point
Tejasv and his team moved around towards their destination, Tejasv's home, where they formed their base for the time being since Tejasv was the center of the team and he was the one who gathered people together. Their focus was directed on the path back to his home.Although reaching Tejasv's home was their necessity and aim, there was another reason behind the cause. Since most of the buildings around them were ruined by something, they rushed to find the location of their base. Whether it was still standing or following these destroyed buildings, their heads were jumbled with these thoughts.Still, before the concern for their base, Tejasv and Daemon were worried about their states after the prolonged battles in the dungeon and afterward. They also realized none of the locations around them were purely secure from threats.Therefore, they decided to hide somehow, at least carefully and safely enough to survive a monster's attack while they could protect themselves with minimal effor
Everyone had a hunch about the strength and brutality of those ogres. Hence, the fear of Tejasv and the Daemon was right on target. Although Tejasv said they had the skills to fight ogres, their current conditions would hold them back.Tejasv continued in his narration, "Don't worry! Even though we noticed the ogres, they were merely the lowest-ranking ones in small groups. Still, they’re out of our league in our current drained state! Let's avoid monsters whom we cannot face by ourselves for now."Catherine and Salina nodded, but Daemon, on the other hand, still had doubts creeping on his expression. They all frowned and asked him about his concerns. He snorted and said to Tejasv, "Have you noticed those monsters stepping into some buildings? None of the humans screamed or anything, why?"Tejasv nodded and rubbed his chin while pondering. He then spoke with his theory: "Actually none of the ogres stepped into the apartment where any humans still lived as if something prevented them f
Tejasv and Daemon both had aloof and nonchalant expressions on their faces as if nothing of concern happened in those few fractions of seconds when some arrows took out those fearsome monsters with ease.Noticing the piercing gazes of the robed duo, Tejasv waved his hands to them smoothly with a soft yet incomprehensible smile. He steps forward towards the duo with his arms relaxed, to drop the tensions in the ambience.The robed duo unaware of the situation cautiously took a stance and firmly fixed their weapons to strike back if necessary to which Tejasv didn't respond either positively or rebelled. He knew his team may seem suspicious to an outsider in such a bloody and ruthless world.On the other hand, Tejasv considered the behaviour and comeback of the duo normal and even better than some blinded people, who would regard others as a saviour after only first glance. To be prepared and counter, these are the basics to survive in most circumstances.Tejasv reigned his steps a few
The robed duo kept an eye on Tejasv to see which direction he was pointing at the snipers. They had their eyes widening at Tejasv’s figure, who was standing still and peering at the robed duo themselves.His eyes weren’t wavering or watching somewhere else, as if his men were around everywhere, prepared to trample them at any moment. The robed duo were shocked by what was happening in front of them.When the robed duo couldn't notice any changes in the area and no one came out from anywhere, they began to be perplexed, and their inner turmoil heightened even more as the seconds passed.Suddenly, when the robed duo rolled their eyes to scrutinise their surroundings, they noticed two silhouettes walking toward them from afar. For starters, they mistook those two for members of another party rather than Tejasv and Daemon's snipers.The only reason for that could be the number of people approaching them and the distance they were from them. It was difficult for the robed duo to imagine th
Tejasv, after a momentary contemplation in his head, blurted out while scrutinising the robed duo. He said, "What is it, now, about that strange behaviour of the spider?"The robed duo stood silently and shook their heads without any word from their mouth. The one with the manly voice stepped up and conversed, "Not here!" He hinted about the surroundings and resumed, "This place is too open for us to talk about anything!"Tejasv’s eyes widen, and a taunting smirk gradually creeps onto his face. He realised the robed duo were wary of the snipers, whom they presumed to be guarding the safety of Tejasv and Daemon from somewhere hidden around the area.Tejasv, on the other hand, remained silent and only glanced at Daemon; both of them understood the robed duo's intentions and concerns. Because Tejasv and Daemon might kill both of the robed men once they have the information they require, they wanted to relocate to a safe and well-known location.Aside from these concerns, Tejasv also saw t
In the end, Daemon finally ended the misery of the spider with his wild and broad muscles. He gradually stood back on his feet and relaxed his breathing while calming his drained state from this sudden, extensive labour.Then he looked to the front and saw Tejasv standing there with a slight distance and a wide gaze fixed on him. Tejasv was peering at him, while the former responded similarly and paused in those moments.Tejasv even had his eyes slightly wet from the last state he remembered Daemon lying before him. He appeared to be dying at any moment because the spider was about to go into a complete frenzy to eliminate him.However, his friend appeared in front of him after counter-eliminating the monster in a frenzy for him. Daemon also had similar feelings leaking from his eyes because he knew what he experienced, and Tejasv just saved him in the nick of time.Both had enough to say, but not even a word was coming out of their mouths. Tejasv and Daemon both nod and step towards
As the battle between Tejasv and the spider continued with Salina’s backing of arrows, the pressure on the monster intensified from the number game played by Team Tejasv with their vigorous strength.Gradually, Tejasv and Salina’s attacks withered the exoskeleton of the spider. It even fell to the floor with no chance to retaliate against those two. When the spider realises it has no choice but to overthrow this situation, it lashes out in a frenzy.The spider swings the rest of its limbs with ferocity and abruptness while thrashing them all over. Its intentions were clear: to land some heavy blows on Tejasv since it had no other plan but to dash away from this situation.Another cause behind such trancelike behaviour could be defending itself from the incoming barrage of arrows. The spider must have thought that by moving around in unpredictable ways, it could avoid the arrows and prevent the archer from marking the spider.However, the spider had no clue about the skill of the arche
Tejasv and Salina had a short conversation when Salina enhanced her skill to a better one, which was able to use the features of both [search] and [chaser strike].That was the moment to mechanise the way Salina may use the skill, which should handle the use of this skill more appropriately and better than Sally. As a result, Tejasv and Salina talked things out, and Tejasv then suggested a method to her, which elevated her talent as a sniper to new heights.Tejasv suggested to Salina that she may aim for a target and mark him with her skills. Then he asked her to act differently than Sally. Tejasv instructed her to strike her arrow in a different direction rather than releasing it to the target she had targeted with her skills.Because her ability would direct and hover the arrow on its own, it will take a curve and strike the target with a different path after releasing the arrow. Even if someone tried to find the location of Salina, these events would lead to a different origin poin
As the spider began to repeatedly attack Tejasv, Catherine and Salina were rather a in relief since Daemon was now out of danger for a few moments, but when they realised Tejasv had no weapons in his arms, they were frightened.Whether the spider was in his straight head or not, its attacks were enough to paste a human with a single blow on the right mark. Tejasv was in definite danger because he had nothing to fend off the strikes of the spider.Not only that the spider was somewhat in a hurry to end Tejasv, and because of these reasons, it used every ounce of strength within him to stomp him on the floor when facing no resistance from him.The spider gradually realised that Tejasv had nothing with him that could threaten or halt its aggression toward him; therefore, the spider was now on a killing spree for Tejasv. It cackled in rage and resumed attacking Tejasv.However here, Catherine, and Salina, along with the robed men, could see Tejasv wisely moving in Daemon's opposite direct
Salina, when she got a permit from Catherine, aimed for the spider’s front legs since its head and the rest of its body was covered by a tough armoured exoskeleton. She intended to put an end to the spider's frenzy of pursuing Daemon.She shot another arrow for the next limb of the spider as soon as she marked it and invoked her skill while releasing the arrow to definitely stop it in that position and give Tejasv more time in that strenuous task.When those arrows struck the spider, it became stuck in that position because two of its limbs, which had previously allowed it to crawl toward the Daemon, were rendered useless by the arrows, which appeared out of nowhere and attached to the floor.Tejasv sighed with relief and smirked slightly. He was drenched in sweat from the intense and laborious task he had taken over. He had to pull a monster whose mouth had been salivating over a certain target.Tejasv tensed every muscle in his body in an attempt to stop the spider from moving any f
The agitated and perplexed ones were not only team Tejasv but also the robed duo. Though they had no dismay for the spider’s strange actions, they had more concern for Tejasv and his companion, Daemon, who was in a hopeless state.When Dameon fell and faced a sudden attack from the spider, they lost all hope of him surviving, regardless of whether Tejasv intervened or someone else struck the spider, because the monster was intent on eating Daemon whether anyone approached him or not.When they least expected it, Tejasv not only disturbed the spider’s balance but also leapt before it to rescue his friend from the spider’s clutches. Tejasv threw Daemon back and stood in his position in these circumstances.Anyone with such a trained body and mind could assess the situation and its severity. The robed duo agreed that the spider's fangs on Daemon would inevitably bite Tejasv instead and that Tejasv could've known about it before jumbling into the fray.Even then, Tejasv leapt to rescue hi
