The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 108: A disaster in the process

"Holy Shit!"

Friedrich and the others quickly got down to the ground and stared at Kayn who is now pulling his sword from the vine in complete disbelief.

"Did you have all of that planned from the very start?" Friedrich can't help asking.

"With proper use of your Active Skills and applying some creativity to it, you'd be surprised at what you can pull off with them," Kayn smiled.

In the past, he had spent a lot of time just to understand every Active Skill that was recorded by their guild.

He studied and trained day and night for more than a year just to be able to master almost every Active Skill that exists on Earth.

Fortunately, the majority of the Active Skills are slightly similar to each other and some even only have their elements different, which is ultimately what affects their result. Take for example, an ordinary Sword Wave would normally release a mana wave to a target. If a fire element is applied to it, it would turn it into a Flaming Sword Wave, which would have the same effect as the Sword Wave and the addition of a burn effect to its target.

Because of that, all he has to do was get familiar with how an element would possibly or practically affect the Active Skill. Needless to say, he also had to learn all Active Skills first.

"Tell me honestly, does the Hero Academies these days teach their students those kinds of awesome stuff?" Gilbert was intrigued.

"They do, if you listen and understand what they are trying to impart you," Kayn said, but inwardly he responded, "They definitely don't,"

"Cool!" Gilbert swore to enroll in a Hero Academy the moment he returns to Earth.

"Can Mages pull something similar to that too?"

"Even better!" To be exact, Battle Mages could execute even greater showmanship compared to what he did.

"I'll visit a Hero Academy in the future,"

"How about Priest?"

"Every subclass can do it!" That is honestly the truth. Even the Noble and Merchant main classes can pull something similar.

"Nice!" Cedrick made a first bump with Roshan.

"Enough about that," Kayn finally decided to change the topic. "Let's continue talking about that once we are done with our mission. In the meantime, let's see where exactly we are on the first floor,"

"Gilbert, try to scout out the area ahead and find which way we have to go to get to the entrance of the second floor,"

There is no need for them to clear every monster in this Monster Lair just like in a Dungeon Raid. The goal here is to kill what gets close to them and make sure to slay the boss. Once that happens, this Monster Lair Raid would significantly become weaker and would no longer pose that much of a threat to the nearby territories.

That is the main goal of a Monster Lair Raid. Albeit, sometimes, a raid party would clear all the existing monsters.

However, in their case right now, because of how huge the Hanging Vines Cave is, and in addition to that, the countless spiders that are expected to exist in this place, there's no doubt that it's next to impossible for them to clear all of them.

As such, their goal is only to kill the Green Stripe Broodmother and leave immediately afterward.

"Alright!" Gilbert immediately left.

"Roshan, make sure to guard our rear,"

"Roger!" Roshan positioned himself to the back.

"Cedrick and Kimberly, stick closely to Roshan so that he can immediately protect you in case something wrong suddenly happens,"

"Understood,"

"Yes,"

"I'll lead the front, while Friedrich, you stick close to me,"

Friedrich nodded his head.

"Let's proceed,"

While moving, Kayn constantly receives an update from Gilbert on which way they should go as the latter left noticeable marks in front of them.

Along the way, they've encountered some Ordinary Spiders that just so happen to make a nest in their path. They weren't a problem, so they quickly took care of them.

From time to time, Green Stripe Spiders, which is an even bigger and more powerful version of the Ordinary Spiders would launch a surprise attack at them.

After some brief investigation, they've realized that each area is actually under the management of Green Stripe Spiders. In other words, the Ordinary Spiders are like workers, while the Green Stripe Spiders are their supervisors.

Just like the Ordinary Spiders though, the Green Stripe Spiders also didn't pose any threat to them.

Honestly, they've already expected that the situation would turn out like this on the first floor from the very start. After all, the monsters that occupy this space are considered to be the weakest of the bunch.

The real struggle would start on the second floor.

Not long after, Kayn and the others stopped as they reached the entrance to the second floor.please visit

Just like the entrance to the first floor, they have to go down the vines in order to reach the ground on the second floor.

However, this time, there are plenty of cobwebs all over the place. Moreover, there's a huge number of Green Stripe Spiders acting as sentries.

"This time, we have to be careful to not be spotted by any of them," Kayn reminded everyone.

Unlike the first floor, the security on the second floor has noticeably increased. It's clearly because this floor is considered the last line of defense of their queen.

Kayn quickly took out the map of the second floor from his Storage Ring as he grabs a pen in the process.

"We'll be using the pillars as our resting points and cover to reach the entrance to the third floor," Kayn hastily marks all twenty-four pillars on the second floor. Apparently, all three floors have twenty-four pillars to support the ceiling, and each of them is separated by one thousand meters. Needless to say, there's a possibility that the number of pillars has changed considering that the cave has now increased in size. Nevertheless, the distance of each pillar should have remained the same.

"I was planning on taking the long way by going to the edge of the cave and sticking to the wall as we travel to the entrance of the third floor. In that way, we'd only have to pay attention to three different directions," Also, the other reason is so that they can quickly use the tunnels as a cover if ever they encounter a huge group of spiders.

"But if the same situation is happening on the second floor as well, we'll still be taking the long way, but this time we won't be sticking to the walls, but to the pillars instead,"

"Any questions?"

"No," Friedrich and the others immediately replied.

"Let's go,"

By following the route that Kayn draw on the map, they soon reached the pillar closest to the edge of the cave. They could already see the wall of the cave from their location.

On their way there, they made sure not to get spotted by any of the sentries and also hide from the Green Stripe Elite Spiders and Green Guardian Spiders they've spotted.

Those spiders were no longer an enemy to scoff at especially if one just consider their sizes.

Even though they can still kill them easily. But there's certainly bound to be consequences as the fight would no doubt turn messy. Once that happens, other nearby spiders would definitely come in their direction. And by then, it's going to be a never-ending battle until they clear all spiders in the Hanging Vines Cave.

"Our goal here is just to kill the Green Stripe Broodmother, always remember that," Friedrich reminded Kayn once more.

Although Kayn wanted to avoid getting spotted and would like their existence not to get compromised, he was thirsting for a fight. As a matter of fact, he had killed a few sentries already with the assistance of Gilbert and Cedrick.

"It's just like what I expected," Kayn spotted countless Ordinary Spiders working on enlarging the size of the Hanging Vines Cave.

"Now that I've seen this, I can't help but wonder what exactly is their goal?"

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Yeah, I am curious too,"

"Perhaps their continuously growing number is now becoming a problem to them?"

"Spiders are known to live in clusters to the point that they don't mind hugging each other,"

"There's definitely a conspiracy here,"

"Perhaps a possible spider invasion to the surface,"

"Maybe. I'll report this to Old Chief George once we are done here and hear what he has in mind,"

"A disaster in the process," Natas whispered to Kayn's right ear.

"Can the Green Horn Village deal with them?"

"Definitely," Friedrich replied confidently.

Contrary to Friedrich, Natas shook his head and said, "They won't be able to, and unfortunately, no one was able to deal with them,"

"Are you sure?"

"As long as the four squads of the Green Horn Knights are present, we can do almost everything in 'The Bridge', am I right?" Friedrich looks at Cedrick, Rosha, Kimberly, and Gilbert while the four express their agreement.

"Everyone was only saved from the disaster when someone reached the door of the 'Tower'. I don't know anything more than that as I've only paid attention to 'The Bridge' whenever something major or serious happens in here,"

Meaning, the disaster never ended.

"Can we solve this problem ourselves?"

"I don't recommend doing so," Friedrich and Natas coincidentally said at the same time.

"Why?"

"Everything must go through Old Chief George first, especially if it is a matter in his territory,"

"I said it before, let history repeat itself this time around. Just pick up the fruits that it would be dropping on the ground,"

"Alright," Kayn understood. "Since this is not related to our mission, let's continue our journey to the entrance of the third floor,"
