Dungeon Workers - Chapter 4 Chaos 2

Karel was surprised sitting on the ground with gaping mouth- couldn’t find any words to speak.

He thought he was really a goner back then if it weren’t for this young lady’s help- His both hands are sweating cold while looking at the goblin’s corpse lying down at the ground motionless.

“Hey-Are you okay?”

The soft lady’s voice made karel back to his normal senses.

“Y-Yes… Im fine.”

“phew im glad that you are fine”

After she had checked karel if he was doing fine-karel exclaimed when he suddenly remembered his mother.

“Tch!”

“ah?”

Karel immediately stood to his feet and begun sprinting.

“W-Wait… Where are you going?”

The young lady hurriedly followed karel behind- while trying to make sense to the boy’s behavior.

They went left, left and right through the alleys running without resting for a few breaths.

While the lady just following him- Is fending off monsters and spells left and right.

Karel took one glance behind him- only to be surprised by the lady’s strength and power and he couldn’t help but be impressed.

huff huff

huff

“Are we there yet?”. The lady spoke in a hint of a bit exhausted.

“…”

But karel didnt respond.

A few moments later… karel stumbles to his feet and fell to the ground flat- due to the exhaustion, experiences and pressure a few while ago started making him feeling weak.

“Ugh-”

“Hey! are you okay?”

“I-Im fine…”

“You are not fine- Why don’t i just carry you and escort you outside th-”

The lady couldnt finish her words when karel exclaimed suddenly interjecting her words.

“NO!”

The lady was surprised and thought maybe she was being hasty and couldn’t even think of the reason why the boy is being stubborn.

“My… Mother is still there…”

Karel spoke while trying to get up on his feet.

At this moment, The lady finally understood the situation this boy has been all along- and she was a bit surprised.

In the dark cold sky, drops of rain hits off the ground while making the familiar sound.

Karel starting running again- when to his surprise the lady before suddenly carried him to her hips with a very desperate look on her face.

“Wh-What! are you doing?”

Karel blushed.

“Is’nt it obvious?-Its faster this way…”

“Now tell me which way to your house.”

Karel was touched by the kind lady before him and tears are starting to form in his eyes.

“I-It’s that way!”

“Good kid.”

The lady’s speed was even more amazing- In a single second she leaped and covered a bit large margin of distance than before and started climbing and jumping off some houses.

‘Wow… this lady is amazing…’ Karel said in his mind.

After just a min- Karel was able to immediately point his finger to a certain House.

“T-Thats the one!”

“Alright!”

The lady took a one last huge leaped upon landing on the ground- just in front of karel’s house.

Both of them are soaked wet from the pouring rain.

But Karel suddenly noticed the front door was open and some shattered window- which made him gulp’d a mouthful of saliva and nervously sweating.

The lady also understood the situation which also made her feel a bit tense and nervous.

“Put me down! Hurry!”

“Uh…yes…”

She puts him down gently to his feet while trying to scan the surrounding for any monsters.

Karel immediately dashed forward to his house’ front door while shouting.

“Mother!”

“Mother! Where Are You!”

“Answer me!”

His loud voice reached to the lady’s ear outside the house while still scanning the area.

When suddenly-a scream was heard coming from the house.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

It got the lady surprised and she hurriedly went inside the house to be even more surprised at what she saw.

Infront of her is karel on his knee crying and just further ahead was a green small goblin with destroyed ear eating something on the bed.

It was karel’s mother’s gut being opened by the goblin and its hands were still digging up and eating the intestines and organs with a look of delight and pleasure smiling.

The lady clenched her fist with a sword and a gaping mouth…she started to make a step to kill the goblin when suddenly-karel cried and grabs a sharp wood just laying besides him and furiously dashed forward while pointing the sharp wood infront of him.

The lady was about to stop him in his reckless move when suddenly she felt emphatic which stop her from moving to stop the young boy.

STABS!

“Kreukkkaa!!!”

The goblin was stabbed on its side through its heart- And screamed in excruciating pain and fell off the bed to the ground motionless.

And karel let out a loud cry again in a deep sorrow while snots are dripping down from his nose- hugging his mother’s lifeless head on the bed.

“WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

“MOTHERRR!!”

“PLEASE DON’T LEAVE MEE!”

Large tears are dripping off to his mother’s face.

The lady currently watching the scene couldn’t help but feel weak and feel sentimental to the young boy crying while hugging his mother and she decided to leave him alone for awhile before going outside the room.

And yet screams are still heard from outside the house- Under a dark looming cloudy sky and pouring rain..

-Inside the Alliance Tower-

Syvit an old elf wearing a green long robe with a sharp of a face appearance in charge of the military barracks inside the tower shook his shoulder violently, and the words he could no longer hold back exploded forth:

“—-Is this a joke?!”

He smashed the wooden table as he shouted and broke.

They were inside a large room with military equipment found in every corner and some military officials sitting circling around the wooden table that got broken a few while ago.

“At this rate- The city will crumble!”

“…”

Silence filled the air as the person in charge is berating every personnel inside the room.

The looks of the officials was filled with anxiety and nervousness just thinking threat is just lurking around the city corner.

“I think im gonna quit and leave the city now.”

A human official spoke in a voice of uneasiness.

“Me too.”

“Same! i don’t plan on dying here!”

Until out of 20 officials- only 3 are left inside the room.

“Sigh- They dont fit the role of the protector of this city…”

A young draconic-human with bulky body build and sharp claws with a set of leathers worn from the top to the bottom…spoke in a helpless tone, he is called ‘Karuvak’.

“I agree, In this kind of situation should be the time when we finally show our vows and our promises to the people back then.”

Another one spoke, this time it’s another elf in his look of 30s with an innocent look on his face and spiky blond hair wearing an expensive tonic, he is called ‘Self’.

“Tch- At this point… we couldnt really do anything.”

At this moment- a nervous personnel barged inside the room with sweat on his forehead to report something.

“What!- who are you to barge in without asking for permission!”

“Calm down self, Just looking at that person’s face… he’s here for something very important.” Karuvak spoke.

“Alright-You can speak!” syvit exclaimed.

“Yes!- Sires… We must hurry evacuate this tower! Volrom and the others just died in battle! and the legendary monster is current slowly making its way towards the tower!”

“WHAT!”

“HOW COULD THIS BE!”

“Hurry prepare our carriages!”

They hurriedly run off outside the barracks together with some workers and other personnel in disoriented movements.

Until they finally got outside the tower and saw a large and very tall monster with flames surrounding its body still smiling with its sharp teeth looking at them a few hundred meters away.

Their faces immediately turned ghastly face upon seeing it.

“Sirs! Come! the carriage is here!”

a man panickly gestured the 3 officials to enter the large carriage.

It is a large and spaced carriage with 3 horses infront of it.

The three officials hurriedly went inside and saw a young boy sleeping at the young lady’s lap and another young lady sleeping while leaning on the other young lady.

“Oh Filia!”

The officials took a seat and immediately recognized the young lady.

Unexpectedly- she was the daughter of the highest official in the barracks, Syvit!.

“Who are these two people?”

“I rescued them earlier and they have gone through quite a lot so please let them rest for awhile.”

The officials nodded in agreement.

And finally the carriage started together with some other carriages moving and away from the tower and finally leaving the city and through a forest without encountering any trouble.

Hi… It’s me gararoo,

I am planning to take a break and maybe forfeit the contest for now… the reason is I’m not sure whether I wrote my thoughts of my original story correctly since English is just my 3rd language xD

So I’ve decided to forfeit and study, learn how to write a novel properly cause I’ve been writing directly everything that comes from my mind without a rough sketch or line of my story and I’m skeptical to my own writing xD

So… to those who are reading this flawed novel, I thank you from the very bottom of my heart!

And this is only a “break” im planning to revise everything once im done with studying the elements or ways of a professional writer so wait for my return! -.^( i wrote my thoughts in here because it exceeds the 500 max of the author’s thought box).
