Chapter 141: This Thing Is So Strong
Leo and Veladra followed her gaze, noticing the faint marks on the ground, crushed leaves and broken branches that hinted at a recent movement. Without hesitation, they turned in that direction.
He led the two demons down the path while readying his Mana Barrier to protect them in case any monsters attacked. While walking, Leo scanned their surrounds and felt an influx of mana that caused his eyes to narrow.
’Seems like dungeon creatures are closing in on me,’ he thought before stopping.
This caught the women’s attention, causing Astra to whisper beside him, ’’What’s wrong handsome?’’
’’Monsters are going to attack,’’ Leo replied while casting Mana Barrier around them just as a mantis-like beast lunged from the underbrush.
Veladra yelped just as the Demon Queen cast a Shadow Blast into the monster’s torso just as Leo arrived and punched the creature, causing it to shoot off into the treeline just as more appeared.
The dungeon beasts surrounded them, but that’s when Veladra acted and sent out a wave of purple fire that turned the attackers into ash. Following that, he quickly used Doomwave that destroyed the remaining monsters.
’They shouldn’t be able to withstand my magic, its too powerful for them,’ he thought with excitement.
Moments later, the jungle fell into an eerie silence once again, the usual sounds of nature fading as if holding its breath. The trio pressed on, their steps cautious as they continued searching for the entrance to the second floor.
Leo’s senses were razor sharp, his mana flowing out in a steady, cautious wave, scanning the area for any hidden threats, but he couldn’t sense anything, so the three continued traveling through the jungle.
They pressed forward through the dense jungle; the foliage surrounded them like a wall. The air was humid and heavy, thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. As they pushed past a cluster of thick vines, the trees thinned, revealing a strange clearing.
