War Grounds

The boy was no longer shocked by the presence of the black dragon and the other summons. After all, he already knew about the skills of the Six Purgatories. "SARS, I"ll go help Lidar. I"m also gonna tell Nisha about the danger that they"re in. They"re gonna lose this fight!" Al seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually conversing with the sentient robot.

[ The sewer is the best way to help, Lidar. Stop being a brat and get moving. Now! ], SARS reprimanded.

Al hesitated. Although he could not see Lidar"s figure nor Nisha"s, he was sure that they"re just near in the plaza amidst the sea of players. He gritted his teeth as he finally pulled the hidden handle for the trapdoor among the gra.s.s.

Creak. The secret pa.s.sage opened. Maybe because of the ensuing chaos, no one paid attention to Al before he disappeared in the plaza.

Inside the cramped sewer, four Level 5 undead soldiers were hacking GreyWitZ and X-1 to death.

"Udil! Help us!" GreyWitZ voice was lit up with hope when he saw Al"s character.

The light from the surface pa.s.sed through the dark tunnel as the hidden door was opened. It was the signal that someone has arrived to rescue the two swordsmen from their imminent death.

GreyWitZ and X-1 were in a dire situation. The former was already in a critical state while the latter was barely holding on.

Piston Lungs!

Rave!

The silver-blood flamberge in Al"s hand suddenly blazed, illuminating the underground as he jumped inside the sewer. Without delay, he gracefully danced around the four corpses. With each slash of his weapon, a head or two fell off.

GreyWitZ and X-1"s eyes were filled with admiration as Udil quickly dealt with the four undead soldiers that previously gave them a hard time.

"Senior Udil, thank you for rescuing us. You"re our savior! Take us under your wings." GreyWitZ fell on his knees as he wors.h.i.+pped Al.

"Eh?! My level is just higher than those monsters; that"s why it was an easy task for me. Hehe. Anyway, I have something important to do. Here"s a salve, GreyWitZ. Take it after you"re free from the combat state. Can I trust the two of you to continue guarding this area for me?" Al was a bit embarra.s.sed. He was not used to receiving a servile att.i.tude from someone.

"Sure. We"ll send you a message if something terrible happens. After all, we made a promise to Master Lidar to protect this place," GreyWitZ obediently answered.

Meanwhile, X-1 was still confused with his feelings. His pride and awe were clas.h.i.+ng in his heart. Before he could even speak his side, Udil was already rus.h.i.+ng towards the end of the tunnel. The swordsman was left hanging, unable to express his praise.

Tsak! Tsak! Udil"s footsteps echoed through the dark and long tunnel as he stepped on the wet surface of the sewer. "Where are we going, SARS?" He"s been running for almost a minute already.

[ This sewer will get us out of Alistor. ] SARS calmly replied.

"Huh? I thought that we"re gonna get a good view after this and be able to help Lidar?" Al was confused; he suddenly stopped moving.

[ Lidar and his team are gonna lose this battle. I"m saving you from an unnecessary death. ] SARS" tone was cold.

"SARS?!" Al"s pitch suddenly became sharp. He felt betrayed as he quickly muted the A.I. in his interface and madly ran back to where he came from.

"Done already?" X-1 was surprised. He finally managed to speak as he saw Udil running back. However, he was ignored by Al as the latter brushed through him in a rush.

"Senior!" GreyWitZ called out too. However, he was also ignored.

Al quickly pushed the trapdoor, but it was unexpectedly heavy. Someone was stepping on it from the outside. He tried hacking it with his flamberge but to no avail. Using Blink would not also help as the ceiling would simply block him.

The boy gritted his teeth. He kept on pounding the trapdoor that was made from solid wood. After a few more hacking and pounding of swords with the help of GreyWitZ and X-1, a blinding ray of light finally came through a small hole.

"What"s that?" GreyWitZ asked. A black figure could be seen through the crack.

"Let me clear it out," X-1 offered but Udil signal a "wait" upon hearing the distant sound of weapons" clas.h.i.+ng and slaughter.

The group of three quickly got the answer to their question when the black figure was quickly replaced with a huge feline sapphire-blue eye.

Kroaaarrr! It was one one of the Moonfrost Panthera!

A huge black paw suddenly punctured the trapdoor, destroying the entire secret entrance. Fortunately, Al was able to dodge before it reached him.

"What the-!" GreyWitZ fell on the floor due to the shock and force of the unexpected attack.

"Run!" Al immediately issued a warning as he saw the ma.s.sive paw was retracted. The panther was about to pounce again.

Al immediately regretted his decision in muting SARS. The latter no longer replied to his concerns as he and the two swordsmen ran for their lives.

"Why is there a panther inside the city, Senior?" GreyWitZ asked as he tried to catch his breath while running. He was still in a combat state and was not able to use the salve that Al gave him.

"Not good. What happened up there?" Al was getting a bad feeling.

The Swordsmen were completely unaware of what was happening on the streets of Alistor as they chose to stay inside the sewer when the war started. "It"s a summoned creature from one of the Six Purgatories," Al answered GreyWitZ"s question as he shot a glance to the entrance that was slowly becoming wider with the Panther"s ongoing attacks.
