Chapter 370 - 370: Mystery Behind Doors
"That doesn"t look like much of a plan, but we"ll go with it," Uzuki agreed. "Let"s see how it goes."
Lucifer pushed the golden doors open and stepped inside. The others followed him closely.
The silence of the Dungeon broke with the creaking sound of the door, even though they were slowly pushed open.
"These doors make too much noise!" Alicia exclaimed, not pleased with these doors. She wanted them to enter stealthily, but just the doors alone were making this more complicated.
The ma.s.sive doors completely opened to reveal the other side.
Stunned, Lucifer stood in his place with confusion spread thoroughly on his face.
Alicia and the others were also shocked at what they were seeing. When they entered, they had imagined thousands of scenarios, but none of them looked like what they just saw.
They were inside the ma.s.sive hall that was as big as a football field. Since the group of five was shocked at what they saw ahead, they didn"t bother to look up.
If they looked up, they would have realized that there was actually no roof. They were standing under the star-filled sky.
Krrrr...
With a creaking sound, the door again closed behind everyone.
"Are you seeing what I"m seeing?" Uzuki asked Lucifer softly.
Lucifer nodded his head, not moving his eyes.
...
Completely unaware of the turmoils in the dungeon, Kellian was focused on the tasks he was given. He had called all the Guild Leaders to meet him. And they were already there.
"All the Guild Leaders are waiting in the meeting room. Are you coming?" An Uprising Warlock asked Kellian, who was immersed in his laptop screen.
"Let them wait. I"m busy with something," Kellian answered, refusing to budge. He was busy with the a.s.sa.s.sination plan of his. He was keeping an eye on the jet of the Warlock Council. The timing was important to him, and he didn"t want to miss it.
"Now...."
"Tristan, the jet has entered the airs.p.a.ce of Alekia. Stay prepared! Within five seconds, it"ll pa.s.s by you. You can"t miss this opportunity!" Kellian reminded Tristan, who was immersed on the call with him.
"Don"t worry. I promise you; the plane won"t land safely," Tristan answered as he stood up.
He opened his bag and brought his Katana outside, prepared for the timing.
His eyes remained in the sky, waiting for the jet to reach him.
Soon, he heard the sound of the jet. It was coming from a distance, and he could see it as only a tiny dot in the distance.
Tristan kept his hand on the grip, prepared to attack.
"Three... Two... "
The jet kept coming closer and closer, and soon, it was going to be right above Tristan.
"Now!" He let out. He was just about to attack when he heard a shout.
"You"re still here?! I talked to security! They said you don"t work here! Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"
The sudden shout distracted him. Even though he had attacked, his attack missed.
Within this time, the jet left his reach. Tristan missed the opportunity.
"Arghhh!" Enraged, Tristan roared at the top of his lungs, watching the jet leave.
"W-what was that? That light? Did it come from your Sword? Are you a Variant?!" The voice again came.
Enraged, Tristan looked in the direction of the voice, finding the same lady he had seen having s*x on the roof before.
"You crazy lady! Do you know what you have done! You screwed everything!" Tristan roared in anger. He was agitated! He had one critical mission, and he failed that!
"I-i didn"t do anything. Calm down. I just... I"ll leave!" The middle-aged lady said as she turned to go downstairs again; unfortunately, she couldn"t.
She dropped to the ground, being killed by Tristan, who wanted to scream in rage again.
...
More than twenty people stood at the end of the hall with their backs facing Lucifer, who looked shocked at what he was seeing.
All those people in front of him were the Hunter Union members, but at the moment, they didn"t look like they were in any good condition.
A ma.s.sive beast was standing in front of them, whose body was full of spikes.
A lot of those spikes had extended and stabbed the bodies of the Hunter Union members who now stood there, unmoving.
No one could see what expressions were on their faces, but the Uprising team knew that their expressions shouldn"t be pleasant.
Lucifer could see blood droplets falling on the ground, under all the Warlocks. That wasn"t all. He could also feel that the beast was sucking their blood.
It was a frightening scenario. The Warlocks of Hunter Union were like insects that were caught in the web of a spider, but they didn"t even move. It was as if they were hypnotized to sacrifice their blood for this ugly creature.
As for the beast itself, he was as ugly as a beast could get. It has a human-like body mixed with the legs of a spider. Throughout his body, spikes could be seen. His back, his chest, his stomach, and even his cheeks and nose were covered in sharp spikes.
As for the face of the beast, it was also similar to a human, but it looked swollen. It was like the face of a chubby man who had been bitten by poisonous bees thousands of times. His face was completely circular.
There was no hair on this creature"s head, but there was something similar to antennas of ants on his head.
As for his eyes, they were pitch black. The creature had no nose, but he had four eyes on each side of his face.
"It"s the ugliest creature I"ve seen. What is it? I never heard about something like this?!" Alicia asked.
She had studied a lot about the dungeons and the creatures that could be found inside, but even he didn"t remember hearing about a person like this.
"You"re asking us. Who should we ask?" Uzuki asked, shaking his head. "Whatever that thing is, it"s too powerful if it was able to bring all the Warlocks of Hunter Union down without any battle."
" I think we should just leave. Let that thing kill them all. In any case, we were here to kill them. So no problem at all," he added.
As Uzuki talked, he didn"t realize a strange creature had appeared behind them. It was a creature that looked the same as the one they were watching. The only difference was that it was standing on the wall behind them instead of standing before them.
