Laura screamed with excitement, "It's been such a long weekkkkk!".

In attempting to go as far away as I can from that beast I'm forced to push my way through the innumerable monsters behind me, looking at the Basilisk as if they have met their arch enemy.Basilisks were no ally to us, monsters, as this proved.Eventually, I get past the worst of the crowd and begin to make better progress. During that time, I probably fled for around thirty minutes. There was a lot of space here, it was truly enormous. It was frightening how an underground dungeon floor could be so big.It would have taken a great deal longer if I hadn't dashed to finish.[Stealth(Mystic)>Stealth(Unique)][Dash(Rare)>Dash(Elite)]About time! It seems like forever since I advanced my skills!It is just when you think you are the strongest monster in the area that something like that lizard shows up!I had thought of ways to kill that monster all this time, but now that I think about it, there is no way I can defeat it.
A thunderous screech blasts the ear of everyone present. As if my eardrums had been punched, the loud sonic wave is so intense.Infected by my command, Gnoll leaps up and raises both hands over his head to hammer down on the enemy with his great axe.The Knight pales in fright when he sees this massive monster burst out, leaping towards them in just a few seconds. As he hid behind a human just arriving, he screamed something in their language.Instantly, I am relieved of the pressure.Hopefully, this will buy me time to hide.Gnoll descends with his massive body, allowing all of his mass to go toward the target. When he hammers down with his axe, a huge impact is made, slamming into his enemies like meteors.BOOM!It is at this time that I am running along with the mix of monsters toward one of the human camps. The main purpose of my attack wasn't to hurt the person who just got here but to buy time to escape.I could nev
It has been two and a half days since the group entered the barrier set up by the sorceress of the Kingdom of Beast."We will make it by night." "We are almost there."It's incredible though, Sir Evans' friend has the strength to build a barrier that makes a journey of just a few hours into one that takes three days.""It's only that she made a shortcut for me to visit her village. Otherwise, we would have been circling the place for days and never get anywhere near it." Evan responded with a sense of pride."That's pretty scary.""My curiosity is: how did you come to know her?""The story is long. I once travelled to this continent with my father as a child. It was a desperate time for the Beastmen. We stumbled upon her village by accident. My father saw that they needed help really badly but was unwilling to request it from us humans. In the end, he helped save a lot of Beastmen. It was at that point that a man
Having my second life become a battle of oblivion wasn't what I had in mind, but maybe not everything works out as planned, so I guess it's inevitable.It isn't my fault that I was born as an imp instead of a human, but hey, no point moaning.When the beast finally grazed forward, I felt a tingle of fear run through my body as the impossibly wide mouth of the basilisk emerged.No denying it, even though the human girl was supposed to be stronger, I am not convinced at the moment.While she might be more powerful and rank than the basilisk, how on earth can she possibly kill a beast the size of a mansion.Both of them evaluated each other, and both knew that a mistake could end everything.However, the rest of the humans stayed as far away from the basilisk as possible, battling the rest of the monsters instead. As a few mages prepare to fire at the basilisk at the far end, another group of mages joins them.That seems to be their leve
Monsters are able to sense it likewise, as I am able to do using my heat sense. Additionally, my monster sense told me there would soon be a larger wave of monsters arriving here than the previous ones.It seems like the walls of the dungeon are glistening more and more by the moment as if they have been transformed into blinding lights. Another thing is that, even without touching my element, my body absorbs mana, hot flowing mana as if I were standing on a warm stream.However, I knew that woman was still here, even though I could not see her. She might have gone to another camp plagued with monsters.Having some rest now should improve my skills, so let's see what kind of skills I have. As for the system box, I still have it after I've finished the objective.It never occurred to me that my hands would be tainted with blood from so many people. Let's just say it's the fittest who survive.It would have been easy to just go home and
Reus had exhausted himself. As the young water mage has been repeatedly rung dry over the last week, he has expended every ounce of mental effort until his mind feels like it is on fire and blood is oozing out of his eyes. In spite of his distress, the legionnaire in charge of his squad merely gave him a cold gaze and ordered him to rest for a while. In his five minutes of free time, he would have relaxed in the mana pool in the camp before going back into formation to help the others. As it was the first time Reus had ever defended a wave, he wasn't sure what he'd seen was normal or not. However, what he'd seen in the wave had drastically altered his perception of the dungeon... This was his first time experiencing dungeons where these many lives were lost; it was not like any other time. Every year, a few people are killed in the dungeons, and that's to be expected considering it is an area full of monsters. It never occurred to
[Infection(Epic): Any being that has been harmed by an infected being will also become infected.-Debuff-Permanent]To be honest, it is a little annoying. Although they hold a unique rank, these monsters do not possess the same power as a traditional unique rank.As long as I destroy their heads, they will die because they are weaker, their bodies can easily be penetrated.What made them so annoying?They have their numbers.Additionally, I cannot be attacked by them even once, or else I will become one of them.The wave just turned into some zombie apocalypse.Right now, it is not about killing these monsters, but rather about surviving.As luck would have it, I'm not alone since all of the monsters on the wave are also being attacked by these abominations. Having so much time gives me enough time to hide and run while the other monsters are distracted.In a maniacal manner, the monster has ripped itself
In the past couple of years, Crystal palace has gained more and more fame. Following Duke Ifrit's decision to exploit the crystal formation in the dungeon, humans have successfully expelled the monsters on multiple floors of the dungeon with the aid of mercenaries and adventurers. Once the area has been deemed safe and sound for human settlement, a team of highly trained warriors was brought in to make the area accessible and built multiple camps.As the dungeon is a connecting dungeon, many waves have occurred up to this day, but none of them was as intense as this one.The floor is stained with the blood of humans, monsters of every kind, making the whole area look more like hell than a dungeon.Human camps were all destroyed except one. Access to crystals for humans will have to be delayed after the wave.Additionally, the humans will have to decide whether or not they wish this dungeon to remain in existence because of the infected.
"Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st
Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for
My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to
A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,
"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou
The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g
The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of
Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br
The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
