Farming Inside The Dungeon - Chapter 77
The Red Kuntilanak felt the damage in her body.
Crack.
Crack….
Its skin which was previously whiter than snow, began developing cracks all over the place. Half of her body was burnt by the explosion, and somehow, she could not erase this dangerous feeling in her heart.
‘ You dare!!!’
She wanted to scream in her heart, but after discovering that something was approaching it with a super-fast speed, the look of sheer terror filled up on the face of the Red Kuntilanak, so much so that it looked like a child looking at a ghost.
” You have killed our comrade. Now it is the time for you to face your demise. Special move: Shadow blossoming in the moonlight!”
Along with the words, Eve figure who just appeared near the Red Kuntilanak blended into the shadow.
Multiple strikes and cuts appeared on the Red Kuntilanak’s body, and even before the Red Kuntilanak was able to screech and beg for mercy, she could already see that her head had been separated from her body.
‘ Is this the end..’
.
[ DING!!! Mini-Boss Red Kuntilanak has been defeated. DM+ 5000]
[ DING!!! Reward: Red scarf of the dead woman has been transferred to the Host’s storage room.]
[ DING!!! The Mini-boss room has been cleared, the Host can continue to dungeon exploration.]
.
Relief filled Ray’s mind as he heard the notification. With this, the first Mini-boss was finally cleared. Still, Ray’s expression immediately turned gloomy when he realized that more Mini-Boss rooms and the true Boss-room were waiting for them.
‘ *Sigh* Can we really clear this dungeon…’
[ DING!!! After finishing the Mini-Boss room, the system has found that the situation on the Lawang Sewu Dungeon has calmed down a bit. From the system’s calculation, even if the Host was to leave now, there will be another six-month calm period for this Lawang Sewu Dungeon.]
” …. ”
‘ Then, can we leave now?’
[ Affirmative Host, after clearing the mini-boss room, there is an option for the awakener inside the Dungeon to leave the Dungeon first. Conscious awakeners will be given an option to leave the Dungeon, while the unconscious one will be immediately transported outside the Dungeon.]
Hearing this, Ray felt a big burden had been lifted from his heart. He was still worried about Edward’s condition out there, but at least there was a chance to see Edward once again with this function.
‘ Ed, please don’t die on me.’
Without wasting any more time, Ray chose to activate the function.
Golden light enveloped Ray’s and the other’s bodies as a notification popped up on their mind.
[ DING!!! Do you wish to leave the Dungeon?]
‘ Yes.’
” Everyone, don’t ask anything, just agree to it first. I will explain everything on the outside later.”
. . . . . . .
What Ray didn’t know was the fact that they were not the only ones in this Lawang Sewu Dungeon.
When he activated the teleport function, light also enveloped the man in the black robe’s body, and they couldn’t help but curse.
” Fuck, they wanted to escape. Boss, should we go on and kill all of them!”
One of the members asked the leader.
However, contrary to his expectation. The leader was calm and raised his hand with an indifferent expression.
” Just let them go. We have our own channel, and there’s no use to kill them right now. In fact, it would be better to let them go. If all of the awakeners were to be killed here, the government would surely send a stronger batch of awakeners, and we don’t want that right now.”
” We will follow your arrangement, boss.”
” Then, should we go out now, Boss?”
As some of the members asked a question. The leader stopped and pondered for a while.
” No, our resources would let us last for about one year, and I don’t believe that we were not able to find that thing before one year. Furthermore, we might find some surprises here. reject the notification and come with me!”
” Yes, Boss!!”
As the words fell, all the black-robed members rejected the transport request and continued to follow the boss to explore the Lawang Sewu Dungeon.
. . . . . .
– Outside of Lawang Sewu Dungeon –
” Finally outside.”
Numerous portals appeared in front of the Lawang Sewu Dungeon, and Ray and the others got out of it.
Other than Ray, Mira, and Eve who defeated the Red Kuntilanak, Ray could see the figure of Tony and the others who were trapped by the red scarves before.
It seems, even though they were trapped, they were only immobilized, and there was no big threat to their life.
Ray came forward and looked around. He waited for the appearance of another portal with a hopeful look.
However, Reality was often cruel.
After more than ten minutes of waiting, there was no sign that another portal would open, and only seven of them were survivors of this Lawang Sewu Dungeon.
‘ No way… this can’t be..’
Bad premonitions filled Ray’s heart.
Edward’s figure appeared on ray’s mind. His confidence, his smile, and his memories with ray.
But the more Ray thought about it, the more he couldn’t brush off this bad feeling.
Ray’s hand trembled.. He had some idea to rush and entered the Lawang Sewu Dungeon once again to look for Edward.
Fortunately, Eve was there to stop him.
” What are you doing!?”
Eve looked at Ray’s face and noticed something was wrong. She held his hand, and even though Ray was strong, he wasn’t able to shake his hand off from Eve.
” Let go! I must return to the Dungeon.”
” No, not before you tell me the reason!”
” I….”
Because Eve wouldn’t let go, Ray had no other choice but to tell her about Edward. But the more Eve listened to ray’s explanation, the more frown appeared on her beautiful face.
” No! You are not going back to that place anymore!”
” No, I must go back! If I don’t go back, what if Ed is still trapped there?”
” No means no! I am your leader, and I have the final say on this!”
” You!?”
Ray cursed at Eve. He tried his best, but He still wasn’t able to take Eve’s hand away from him.
In this desperation, ray suddenly thought of a bold idea.
‘ System, put all my available points to strength.’
[ DING!!! All remaining points have been put into strength.]
All of a sudden, ray felt a huge amount of energy flowing through his body.
His aura changed, and Eve was caught off guard.
When Eve was unguarded because of the shock, Ray utilized this chance to release his hand from Eve’s grasp.
He used the few seconds delay, which Eve was not able to react and immediately rushed in the direction of the Lawang Sewu Dungeon Entrance.
*Swoosh*
However, things were always not going as planned.
When Ray arrived at the Lawang Sewu dungeon entrance, he suddenly felt a big wall was blocking him.
He tried a few times to break the wall, but it was all useless.
Under such situations, Ray could only ask the system.
‘ System, what the heck is this?’
[Host, after what you have done in the Lawang Sewu Dungeon, the Dungeon now entered a slumbering state, and there is no way for a person to enter the Dungeon.]
Ray’s eyes were full of shock as he heard this.
‘ Then, I…’
[ Yes, the Host could not enter the Lawang Sewu Dungeon anymore. Please wait for six months so that the Dungeon could finish slumbering and the gate open once again.]
‘ Fuck!!!’
Ray could only curse inwardly. Could not enter the Dungeon. Didn’t this mean he had no way to save Edward?
He blamed himself for not giving Edward any holy props, and for not being one group with Edward.
If he was with Edward, at least he could ensure each other survival.
The eyes which he used to look at Eve were now a bit complicated.
If Eve just didn’t choose him at that time, then he would surely be in one team with Edward.
But after getting along in the Dungeon, ray now has some trace of affection for Eve and the girls, and he couldn’t bear the thought of the girls dying in the Lawang Sewu Dungeon.
All this complicated emotion blended in Ray’s mind, and without him knowing, it had given birth to a seed of doubt.
As there was no use in staying here anymore, Ray went outside and came to the hotel.
His mood was so complicated right now that he didn’t even realize the bloody massacre happening around him.
When the group of black-robed people entered the Lawang Sewu Dungeon, they killed each and every one of the Government agents. But they didn’t clean the area and just let them rot like that.
Now that Ray returned to the hotel, Eve came at him and questioned him. But maybe because he started to doubt everything around him, Ray was not in the mood to answer and just walked past through Eve as if nothing had happened.
‘ Ray.. I hope you wouldn’t be misled by something like this.’
After Ray left for his room, Eve was still looking at his silhouette with a worried expression.
She has been an awakener for so long that she had witnessed many awakeners walk in the wrong path.
Most of them were triggered by the same cause. the death of their loved one and their inability to protect their teammate.
When Ray walked past her before, she noticed that ray had the same familiar eyes as the one she had seen before.
That gaze gave her a slight chill, and she somehow could feel the danger behind those eyes.
