I am the only one here who got off with just some scratches. This is one deep basement where stronger existence claims territory. Not to jinx it, but I am going to expect things like minotaur since someone is selling some above. We will be strongly relying on Selene's plant's extra skill on enemy detection. We are in no form for formation. Lucky for us, we found a wide space, we can rest here without worrying a pincer attack.
Hmm, something smells familiar? Slime incense? That is for parties who wanted more monsters to kill…. But wait, the only human I see here is just the four of us! I wanted shout: RUN!
But, to where? "Selene, we've been staged. Prioritise searching a way to go up. It is a bad idea to stay here for long."
Strange, a slime incense should be quite potent. It is rumored that a dungeon boss will even move out of it's room for it. But, this is just too quiet.
Creak, creak. Stones are falling…. No, the dungeon walls are moving. What a timing for the dungeon to shape shift. I tried to rush back to the trio. But the walls separated me and them.
It is known that dungeons are kinda living, some changes layout yearly, monthly etc. but the worse one in record is every hourly, go in, have a slightly extended combat, and one might not make it out on time.
Purple wall, an iconic color for floors of 5s or 10s. Great timing, just great timing. Since I am now alone, I just gonna do it myself, right?
Extend mana to the ground, feel the outline of dungeon. Any upwards way…. Yes there is, and I can make out four human form. Human or goblin, I would guess it is human. Goblins don't hang around with just four, they will run around to find other group of goblins to regroup.
Humans, right at the up staircase but not moving? I already highly suspect our party got staged, but who?
My contributions to kingdom are not yet made public, the only reward that word got out is our land waiting for citywall to be built.
Selene and Mira is known as exceptional student like me. The three of us did skip a bit compared to other students. But does that warrant something like this? No.
Hanbo is the mysterious one. As students we are unable to pry if he has something else other than being a lecturer with fire.
So, the target is either me or Mr. Hanbo.
I slowly approached this only way out. But I am not going to let them know of my presence.
"Mother, I ask for a silenced glock with flash light. Fully loaded ready to fire."
The next thing I know, my hand holds the delivery from mother earth. Something that is less than 3kg but denser than 3kg.
"Sorry, I don't know who you are, but I can't risk it." I muttered to myself. I took aim. As expected, like when I am holding a bow, a game like crosshair appeared. P- P- P- P-
I shot all four of them on the legs. I shall see if there is anymore of their's around.
At the same time, loud scream echoed the area. The shot are going to be painful for them. An arrow wound is already very painful. Let alone this which does a bit of something similar to drilling.
Nobody came for them, but they are not even trying to crawl up to the upper level. This is definitely unusual.
