Chapter 70: Failed Mission (2)
The demon’s loud voice sent chills down everyone’s spine. No one wanted to stay behind to find out how ruthless and powerful the demon was.
’This mission was a complete failure!’ Jess thought with gritted teeth, bypassing the many obstacles in her path with swift and agile movements. ’It had to be a freaking demon of all things!’
Turning to look over her shoulders, she noticed the sinister aura literally morphing the atmosphere. The weather had completely changed, turning a dark and ominous purple.
’Tsk! It’s a survival of the fittest now.’ Jess realized, turning back to focus on the path ahead of her. ’The adventurers from earlier made the right decision in leaving first!’
Of course, she wasn’t the only one to feel that way. However, with the demon leisurely taking its time, it was all good.
Reaching the gateway, Jess and the others wasted no time diving into the swirling vortex. The brief but expected disorientation didn’t hinder the adventurers and knights, bolting forward for the next gateway.
However, the remnant monsters on the floors didn’t miss the opportunity to attack the adventurers. Unfortunately for them, the adventurers and knights were not in the mood to play.
They unleashed their spells and abilities without hesitation, swiftly changing their surrounding terrain in an instant.
The explosions shook the floor, uprooting plants and sending debris and monster parts flying everywhere; this followed in a straight path towards the exit.
Kennedy and Captain Reeder were the last to go through the gateway, thankful the demon was deliberately letting them go.
’But is this okay...?’ Kennedy considered their options, looking back at the gateway. ’This dungeon is close to the capital. With nothing in the demon’s path, we could be facing our greatest challenge yet. Tsk, I have to hurry!’
