Chapter 106: Lance’s thoughts
They all walked into the depths of the first floor, and though their weapons were out, they were relaxed. The first floor was not a serious threat, so they weren’t too worried.
The first Lizardman spawned and rushed toward them. It was a seven-foot-tall lizard with slightly longer hands and legs compared to the average lizard. It was only able to take a few steps before an ice lance pierced through its chest and killed it.
Chloe stood behind her brother with her hand stretched out. They were all shocked at how quick and easily she had taken down the monster.
For some reason, Chloe glanced at Riven after she killed the monster. The monster decomposed and left behind the crystal, but before they could pick it up, they heard a loud screech, and in the next second, over fifty Lizardmen rushed from the depths of the dungeon.
"I don’t think that’s supposed to happen," Noel said, already getting into a fighting stance.
"It isn’t, but we still have to fight through it," Robert said.
Riven had the feeling that this should have been the moment they left this place and never looked back, but his desire to fight those Lizardmen was greater.
Everyone got ready to fight, and when the monsters were in range, they all moved. Riven charged in, moving in a straight line. He was about to unleash a flame attack, but Lance spoke.
"Remember, we can’t use mana," he said, his gaze pinned on Riven. Riven immediately stopped the attack he wanted to use and went for a normal slash. His sword cut through the monster and killed it, but immediately after, he retreated along with the others.
"Don’t you think right now is not the best time to follow those rules?" Riven asked.
"If you use your mana, I’ll be the one to tell Mr. Quin. If you can’t take out such monsters without mana, I guess you aren’t worth your rank," Lance said. He attacked the incoming Lizardmen, swinging with extreme precision. His sword cut through two in one slash and killed them.
