The Cardboard Explorer

However, even if Cade wanted to do something, there was nothing he could do. He was extremely tired. His body was full of injuries. He had no energy left to fight.

He can use a potion and healed himself but the Boarman would not allow that to happen. Even if he succeeded in healing himself, he stood no chance against the Boarman because there were too many of them.

The only thing he could do was watch and wait for the Boarman to end his life. Cade sighed in his heart as he never thought he would die but he was happy that he can hold on that long.

"Any last words?" said the Boarman with the brown robe. He admitted that Cade was strong and if not because of their numbers he was afraid that he cannot kill Cade.

"Why are you guys attacking us?" asked Cade. If he were to die it was better if he at least knew the reason the Boarman was attacking humans.

Not only the Boarman but also possibly the other race too. Cade had already resolved his heart and accepted that the humanoid toad might be from the toad race. It was highly likely that the other attacks on other planets were led by another race.

Cade wanted to know why they were doing that. He was curious about that.

When Cade asked that, the Boarman with the brown robe looked at him weirdly. Cade then remembered that he can appraise the Boarman with his system. Not like they can see the system so it was fine.

Cade used the system"s appraisal and finally knew the Boarman variant in front of him. The Boarman with brown robe was a Boarman mage. Looking at his attire and the type of skill he used before, Cade concluded that the mage specialized in ground and rock skill.

However, knowing that won"t change the situation in front of him. Cade stared at the Boarman mage waiting for an answer but he saw the mage looking at him weirdly.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" thought Cade. "That face… it is like he is saying "you don"t know?""

"Monkey. Are you joking with us right now?" asked the Boarman mage and he frowned. Cade became much more puzzled by that sentence.

"What did he mean by joking?" thought Cade. He was serious when he asked that and, in his condition, why in the world he was joking around.

"Kill him!" said the Boarman mage. He was annoyed by Cade"s question and decided to not waste any more time.

Hearing the order from the Boarman mage, one of the Boarman raised his axe and swung it straight to Cade"s neck.

However, the sky suddenly turned dark. That Boarman stopped his axe and everyone looked up at the sky as they wondered what happened.

The dark was not the type when it was almost rain but it was similar to something solid covering the sky. After everyone looked up, they were shocked to see something big was hovering in the sky.

"Is this another Boarman?" thought Cade and the thing in the sky was huge. All the Boarman around was worried looking at that huge thing but Cade did not know why he was not feeling like them.

He thought that maybe because he was at the end of his life, he was not scared of what he was seeing. However, he also felt a bit of familiarity with the thing that was hovering above their heads.

While everyone was focusing on that thing, suddenly, someone tapping Cade"s shoulder. Cade was shocked when he saw a familiar face by his side. He tried to talk but that guy covered his mouth.

That guy took out a piece of paper, no, upon closer look, it was a photo. The photo shone lightly and a huge gorilla monster appeared.

At the same time the gorilla monster appeared, the thing floating in the air disappeared. All the Boarman presents were shocked and before they could react, the gorilla monster attacked them.

"The monkey"s reinforcement!!" thought the Boarman mage. Everyone was sent flying by that gorilla monster"s attack.

That was not all. When they looked at the other side of the camp, they saw more humans there and among them was a man clad in blue full body armor.

That man in blue armor took out his greatsword and rushed forward to attack. Not only him, but all explorers with him also rushed forward too.

The second battle started. However, this time the situation was flipped. Before the arrival of Jonathan, the Boarman was dominating the fight but now, the explorers dominated.

"Why are you always in this state?" said Shihoon while he stopped Cade from standing. Cade looked at Shihoon weirdly as he was sure that Shihoon said he did not want to enter the world dungeon.

"Why are you here? I remember you said you wanted to stay with your family," asked Cade as he was curious. He took out a potion from his storage and wanted to drink it when a delicate and white hand stopped him.

Looking at the owner of the hand, Cade saw Viola. "I will heal you," said Viola while smiling. She started using her skill and healed Cade.

"I do want to stay with my family but when the time limit of this dungeon increases, I just felt like I should go too. I want to know what is inside this dungeon and what changes happen here that made the time limit increase and I want to contribute in saving our star sector," said Shihoon.

"For real? I don"t think you are that type of person," said Cade as he cannot believe what Shihoon was saying.

"What do you mean? Be grateful that I am here. Do you know how many times I saved your a.s.s? What is wrong with you always ended up in this kind of situation?" said Shihoon.

"… Well, thank you… Miss Viola too," said Cade as he had indeed been saved by Shihoon a lot. He was not too fond of Shihoon but he did not hate him.

"Luckily we arrive here right on time," said Viola while she was healing Cade.

"Miss Viola, there is no need to heal everything. I can move now and I want to join the fight," said Cade. He wanted to join the fight and he was worried about Jonathan fighting by himself there though Jonathan was not alone.

"No need to worry. He will be fine. Trust me. Someone who can destroy an accompanying core with only a small group of explorers won"t lose to the Boarman," said Viola with a smile.

"… Jonathan destroyed an accompanying core?!" Cade was shocked to hear that and at the same time disappointed with himself.

Jonathan once again did something big. The toad and now the accompanying core but Cade had not yet made anything big like that. He was ashamed of himself.

Looking at Jonathan killing the Boarman one by one. Cade"s confidence fell much more than before. Shihoon was staring at Cade and he knew what Cade was thinking.

"Cade, stop comparing yourself with Jonathan. He is someone with bloodline power. It is common knowledge that everyone with bloodline power is strong," said Shihoon trying to console him.

However, those words made him lose more of his confidence. He was someone with bloodline power but he was useless.

"Why is he more disappointed than before?" thought Shihoon. He tried to console Cade but it looked like it did not work.

While they were talking, they suddenly felt someone used a huge amount of mana. When they looked at the direction of the source of that mana, they saw the Boarman mage pumping out his mana.

"He is going to use something big!!" said Shihoon and he got ready to summon a picture that can protect them.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark and everyone was shocked to see a ma.s.sively huge rock floating in the air. A second later, the rock fell.

Shihoon immediately took out a picture and summoned it. What came out of the picture shocked everyone including the Boarman mage.

A giant toad appeared and it held the falling huge rock with both of his arms. The ground was shaking and the ground below the giant toad was breaking from the ma.s.sive pressure from the huge rock.

Looking at the situation that might turn bad for the Boarman, the Boarman mage decided to retreat. However, before he could retreat, the air around him was moving weirdly and suddenly, a fire was shot at him.

The Boarman mage tried to evade but what shocked him more was that, before even the fire reached him, it suddenly spread and became bigger. The fire immediately trapped him and he was unable to run away.

However, he had more skills up his sleeves. The Boarman mage forcefully got out of that fire and he was fully clad in rock armor.

At the same time the Boarman mage got out of the fire, Jonathan was yelling at Shihoon, "Mister Shihoon! Can you hold it much longer?!"
