Chapter 132: Floor Nine
“Monster up ahead, get ready!” Rabyn yelled after several minutes of running, causing everyone to skid to a stop. I spotted what he had already seen: there was a giant, blue blob-like creature sitting at the bottom of the path.
“Maud, hit it with lightning. I’m going to do the same,” Elicec said before they both unleashed arcs of electricity into the creature, causing it to split into four separate smaller creatures that now looked a lot angrier—time for a different idea.
Focusing on the center of the four creatures, I reversed the gravity at an angle, launching them from our path. It wouldn’t kill them, but it would at least get them out of our way for now, and considering how badly the first attack had gone, we didn’t have time to waste figuring out how not to multiply them further. “That good enough?” I asked, pretty sure it had been.
“Probably going to be a problem in the future, but we can deal with that when it happens,” Elicec replied as we continued our sprint toward the screams below. Worried about that, I quickly pulled my chat window up as I ran.

The forces arrayed against the village have tripled in size. Glorp has already nearly depleted himself. >Dave: Got it. Elody should be on her way. >Alpha: Silver bird here. >Dave: Is that Elody? >Corey: Yes, she just landed. Apologies there is a delay before I can process exactly what the cores’ experiences are. >Dave: No problem, you’re doing great. We will be there soon.
