Realising what was going on, the man tried to stop himself only to realise that he had lost control over his body.
"Have you gone mad? S-STOPPP…" his friend squealed but it was already too late as the sword was already swung towards the defenceless him.
CHIII… the man watched in horror as blood sprayed out from his friend's neck, their hatred filled eyes and their head which rolled down onto the floor.
"AHHHH" the adventurer screamed in fear, he wanted to run, he wanted to deny everything that happened today, he wanted to escape from this goddamn dungeon. However, it seemed that fate had some other plans for him.
"Im sorry…" he heard the voice of that woman again and realised why she was apologising so incessantly. She was apologising because it was already destined that they would die at her hands. even the way she looked at them was as if she was looking at a corpse.
"Haha.. ahaha" the man laughed, his neck slowly twisting a full 360° like a screw. CRACK and finally his neck made a cracking noise and hanged down losely.
"Im sorry… [Marionette Play]" Emma said mourning at their death.
Remaining Humans- Ten.
"FUCK.. FUCK… FUCK… I knew it, it was a huge mistake to dive inside this ominous dungeon. I told you we shouldn't have accepted that commission from Benny Beckerman".
"How is that my fault? Didn't you say that we can't defy that guild and make an enemy out of that man?".
Two humans were bickering with each other as they hurriedly moved under the cover trying to hide from the calamity class beasts they thought would come after them.
"Shut up everything is going downhill… if only I never accepted this commission". The two of them hid underneath a foliage and tried to hide their presence as much as possible.
CREAK… at this moment, they suddenly heard some twigs breaking and their bodies immediately became alert.
"Do you think it's those golems or is that calamity class beast?"
"Don't speak so loudly, what if they hear us?" the two of them talked in a hushed voice.
When the latter peeked from the foliage only to see a maid standing there, he sighed a breath of relief. His heart almost came out his mouth thinking it was those annoying golems or those powerful calamity beasts.
"Who is it?!"
"Relax, it's just a maid. I don't think she has noticed our presence. This is our chance let's slowly move away from here"
"Wait… I think this is a chance, we should capture that woman"
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Think carefully, our survival out of this dungeon is already very low that it is almost 0. But what if we capture this woman and use her as a hostage till we get out of here? Once we are out, the demon wouldn't be able to do anything to us".
Hearing his plan, the other person too thought that it wasn't a bad move. In fact, it might really be their one and only opportunity to get out of this dungeon. The two of them nodded their heads and came out of the shrubs.
"What a coincidence, if it isn't one of the maids of the master of this dungeon. What brings a beauty like you here? Don't tell me that you have fallen for one of us?" the humans tried initiating a conversation, slowly creeping closer towards the maid so as to not alert her.
They thought that the maid would react by either running or trying to call for help. However, when they saw that she did not even react, they felt like something was wrong. Nevertheless, they did not stop their advance and just when they were a few meters away from her, they started charging towards the maid not intending to give her a moment to react.
"Got you!!" One of the humans dived towards her trying to pin her down while the other blocked her way. However, contrary to their expectation, the maid still held onto her emotionless expression even in the wake of their assault.
Just when they were only a few inches away from her, she performed a simple punch followed by a roundhouse kick in a swift motion. These movements of her might seem simple but to them who were the recipient of the attack, it was anything but simple.
BANG...
BANG...
The punch and the kick that the maid performed packed enough power to easily shatter the defensive gears the humans were wearing and send them flying back. What was amazing about it was that the maid moved so fast that up until the point they were hit, the two people did not even see an attack coming.
Bianca approached the two people who were lying on the ground squirming and puffing out blood. Amongst the Valkyrie sisters with the exception of Mercedes, she was the most powerful when it came to pure physical abilities.
Coupled with her level, these humans who were trying to pounce on her might as well be as good as ants. Additionally, amongst the sisters, Bianca had the least emotions due to her race being a homunculus and also because of her settings which made her to be a little dunce.
Thus when she was using her black glossy heels to step on the part frightened, part disbelieved face of the two humans and smash them like watermelons, all the while, her face was the very definition of calm and emotionless.
There was not even a single ripple in her eyes when killing these people.
Remaining Humans- Eight.
On another corner of the forest far from the mountain where Simon and the others were, an assassin was sprinting around the trees at an incredible speed dodging the bolts of lightning coming his way.
He criss-crossed around the place and on numerous occasions tried to outsmart the Lightning draconic serpent and rush towards the distant mountain where his target was.
By now, Boris knew that he wasn't a match for the Lightning Draconic Serpent and more so of that demon who was able to single handledly defeat his former teammates. He knew that it was impossible for him to avenge his little brother but even then, he did not want to give up because if he did, he would no longer have a reason to struggle.
"That fucking demon doesn't even know who my brother is…at the very least I must at least kill someone dear to him. that way, he will understand the pain I'm going through" Boris cursed hiding behind a tree.
His state right now could only be said as wretched with blood and wounds covering his body. His reserves of potions were already out and he was on his last legs.
"Do you think you can hide from me? Your petty tricks can only buy you so much time" the Lightning Draconic Serpent hissed. It was starting to get a little annoyed with the puny human that was trying to continuously avoid him instead of fighting directly thus extending the battle.
If not for that, it would have already closed this fight and by now it would be near his lord.
Seeing that the man was still not coming out even after his warning angered the Lightning Draconic Serpent even more and thus it decided to use the skill it was hesitating up until now.
RUMBLE… all of a sudden, wind started picking up and dark clouds loomed over the sky for a few kilometres. The mana around this part of the forest was set in turbulence as they raged around haphazardly.
Sensing the danger in the air, Boris' face became ugly. He did not know what the beast was trying to do but given the mana and thunder that was flooding out of it, it knew that it was bad news. He weighed his option and decided to run away instead of trying to stop it from conjuring whatever attack it was trying to conjure.
He thought that given the intensity of the attack it would take quite a while for it to complete and given his agility, by the time the attack was complete, he would already be out of its range.
Boris was not wrong in thinking so but he had underestimated one thing and that was the range of the attack the Lightning Draconic Serpent was conjuring. It was trying to use a skill called [Weather Manipulation] and conjure thunder clouds in a few kilometres of area.
Boris wasn't even half the way out of the forest when a loud boom echoed out from the clouds above. Following that, the clouds started churning and turning red from the numerous bolts of lightning that were brewing in them.
"Thunder Rain" With the bellow of the Lightning draconic Serpent, the entire forest lighted up as crimson thunder like bolts of snakes dropped down from the sky.
BOOOMMMM... the land trembled and the sky cried pouring thunder like rain. The forest for a few kilometres was burned and devastated with no presence of life to be found around. The same was true for Boris the assassin whose entire body was turned into ashes by the thunder rain.
Unlike Berigard who had numerous resources and cards at his disposal, Boris was just a second-rate assassin in a third-rate kingdom. Even up until the moment he died he had an unwilling face that was unresigned to his fate.
After finishing the annoying assassin, the Lightning Draconic Serpent flew over to his master's side only to see that the others have already finished their task and were now surrounding the six humans who dared to attack their master.
All nine of Simon's subordinates excluding the [Helpers] were gathered around his side at this moment.
