There’s a chance for any monsters in Alorexa to drop essence crystal after they die. If they are going to leave essence crystal, their chest will rot in high pace. But unlike any other monsters out there, these zombies are a bit different.If the slain zombie doesn’t leave any essence crystal, they won’t be rotting in high pace. However, if any of them is going to leave an essence crystal, they will rot so fast. Not only the chest part, but also their entire main body will rot and releasing a green poisonous gas.“So, what is the trial? Killing them all? If we kill that many zombies, there’s no way we can survive from the poison,” Dino whines with an awry face.“No, we only need to find the Boss of this dungeon,” replies Azzim.Meanwhile, Leia is still so quiet observing the entire condition of the cavern. They can still be relaxed considering there is not a single zombie near them. Some of them seem to be walking closer with staggered steps. But there’s no way those zombies can climb
As they reach to that narrows path, Leia issues Hannah to release his arrowless powershot once more, to keep that monsters away before leaving that place. Azzim keeps running between stalactite to check on the situation. Until he reaches the other huge cavern which is still empty. “It’s safe here!” he shouts informing the others. However, right after that shouting, more undeads are also emerging from the ground. Dino reaches to him first, not hiding his worry. He even tries to get back, but Leia immediately holds his back. “Where are you going? Everywhere is the same. The dungeon is like having a certain theme in it. With that many zombies we found earlier, it’s 100 % that the entire dungeon is full of them,” says Azzim. “It’s like testing our survival ability before advancing to the second stage. If you are scare like that, it only means you are not worthy to go to the next stage,” says Leia. As Hannah reaches to them, she finds several dark tunnels in a far. She immediately info
*******************[Alert!][You’ve been marked with Flammability Curse, and it will last for 15 minutes]- Your resistance to fire elemental will be decreased by 25 %- The burning effect done to you will last longer and the damage over time will be doubled*******************That Skull-headed Witch is laughing again while raising one of her hands high. In a second, a sudden burst occurs on the flame of her burning hairs.“It’s coming!” Leia shouts giving a warning.That monster casts a ball of fire. It’s not too big, but it flies fast toward Hannah and Dino. Hannah reacts fast, and releases her arrowless powershot. It casts that fire aside, but it doesn’t extinguish it completely. They both still feel the hot and a few parts of their body are still burnt by some small fires. Albeit they are small fires, they are still feeling so hot, and start running erratically and making those fires bigger.Both Azzim and Leia hold them and prevent them to move around. They force Hannah and Din
Azzim and Leia immediately get away. When the zombies die, some of them begin to decompose and leave some life crystals. But their decomposed bodies also released a dense poisonous gas.But there is no place for them to escape the poisonous gas. Because the room is closed, while the door is currently being pounded by the undeads from outside.Seeing their reaction, again that skull-headed witch laughs in a devilish laughter. She excels at summoning, bringing more zombies out of the ground.“Azzim, just kill that bitch immediately. That’s our only way out of here!” Leia shouts.Azzim spins the dagger in his left hand, and is ready with one sword in his right hand. He runs so fast aiming for the boss. But the monster chooses to keep its distance away, deliberately waiting for all those inmates to be poisoned and turned into zombies.Hannah can only try to keep the poison gas away from her by using her arrowless powershot. After that, he and Dino rushes over to Leia.“What now, Leia?” as
Meanwhile, the color of the portal gate in Gurdat Town has also started to change. Some of the inmates who are on site immediately rush to inform the others about the situation.“It’s changing!”“The color is changing!”Zircho immediately ran towards the dark room. As soon as he opened the large door, no one appeared in the sleeping pod.Some of his friends from the same group came over, followed by other inmates who came later.“Shit, he really did it. They survive for four hours inside the trial dungeon and clear the trial?!” Zircho mutters so lowly to himself.“Not only about surviving in the trial dungeon. We also found the trial dungeon in just three days, with Gordon and his gang hunting us out there,” says Zack who is just also coming over to that place.Gordon who is currently sitting at the end of the corridor hears Zack's words. Of course, he feels so ashamed currently. In fact, he intends to avenge what Azzim had done to him, believing that Azzim and his group would die in
The next day, the same figure comes to them again, bringing to replenish their Vitality.Dino, the only one who happens to be awake, lights his fire out so that he can see that mysterious person. But then he is shocked right after he sees the look of the mysterious figure, and his fire suddenly burst out and empties all of his mana supply.It wakes Azzim, but he didn’t get the chance to see that mysterious figure’s face.“I’ll see you later again,” says that mysterious figure as he leaves them.There is hardly any light coming in from outside, making it difficult for them to track the day. They don't know whether it is night or noon. The conditions in that prison are always damp and cold. Some of the wall has also been covered by mosses.Dino has consumed so much mana just to keep them warm by creating a small flame on his palm. When his mana is completely depleted, they have to endure the cold and dampness of the prison room again. At least, until Dino gathers his mana again from his
Now they are forced to restore their vitality first by consuming the food brought by that Toto guy. “It might take another two days before we can get back to our best condition. That’s only if we can get enough food every day. Azzim,” Leia explains. “Three days with this kind of food?” says Dino, looking uninterested with the food on the plate he holds. “If you want to eat meat, why don’t you just catch those rats and grill them,” says Azzim plainly “Rat? Nah, I’m okay with this,” Dino replies. “Don’t you know, rat meat slightly improves your mana regeneration for half a day, especially if you grill them with the fire you create using your own mana,” Azzim explains. “Really?” asks Dino curiously. “Wanna try?” Azzim taunts him. But Dino seems unsure for a moment, and then he starts eating his food. Of course that information attracts his attention for a bit since having a high mana regeneration is something that he needs right now. But if it has to be a rat, he can’t imagine him
Now, that hypothesis is also leading them to the background reason behind the trial they are undergoing. They start to doubt, if they are really inmates who are being sentenced with death penalty for being criminals, why would they have to undergo such kind of trial.Everything makes nonsense the more they try to understand it.“Hold on! Could it be that we are indeed criminals with this kind of abilities?” asks Dino.“Anything is possible,” replies Leia.It makes Dino and Hannah turn so quiet with that potential. Deep down, they still want to believe that they are not criminals, just as anyone else wants to be considered as a good person by others.Until suddenly, Azzim is chuckling and attracting their attention toward him.“Being criminal doesn’t always mean you are a bad guy entirely. Just like what is happening to us at the moment, to be put into prison for no reason. Those guards out there will see us criminals. And I’m telling you, don’t chicken out yet. We have the reason to k
