From MC's perspective:
I managed to climb up within a few minutes. But the ominous feelings were yet to disappear.
Swish!
So I rushed back without turning around. Thankfully the mine's entrance path was not curved and was difficult. I'm running with the utmost speed.
Rumble!
Suddenly I heard a terrible sound from behind. Like something is chasing from behind. The next moment, I felt goosebumps all over my body.
But unfortunately, my speed was not so fast. Whatever thing is chasing me from behind? I feel it will quickly catch up to me.
While running, I noticed a massive crack ahead. Without thinking further, I entered the gap in a blink of an eye.
Tud!
The next moment, I fell to the ground. But I continued to feel bad. As the seconds went on a small sweat bead formed on my forehead.
Swish!
A dark silhouette rushed past the crack. Seeing the scene, my eyes gleamed and twinkled. No doubt that guy is the bloodline hall's level-6 wizard.
Why is he running for his life? Doubt appeared in my heart. Before I could think of anything else.
Many cave spiders are rushing past the crack. Seeing that my heart turned cold. As I had expected before, the mine was occupied by spiders. It has now become a complete lair.
I stood in the same spot like a motion statue. Thankfully, I made the right decision at a crucial juncture. My physique attributes were not comparable to the level-6 wizard.
If I hadn't found a crack to hide, I would have been caught by the level-6 wizard. And I do not doubt that the level-6 wizard would have killed me using this opportunity.
Then my gaze turned toward the path. I still see the wave spiders moving in the path. It seems there is no end to them.
My expression turned gloomy. If there is no chance, it will be difficult to escape from here. And I don't want the entrance path to be blocked by these spiders.
Meanwhile,
The bloodline wizard Ko looked bloodied all over his body. His injury seems to be getting worse as he is rushing ahead.
At this time he almost forgot about the target. Now he wants to escape from this place alive. But unfortunately, the cave spiders caught up to him.
"Damn you...," He cursed at the monsters. He raised his hand to punch the monsters.
Bang!
The 3rd monster burst into pieces like a watermelon. But it wasn't enough to slow down the speed. The remaining cave spiders quickly caught on.
Ko dragged his injured body to move faster. His attributes were affected due to poisoning. Suddenly one of the cave spiders leaped over him.
The spider reaches Ko's body and bites his shoulder. Ignoring the pain, Ko continues to flee.
Several minutes later,
Tud!
The bloodline wizard Ko appeared outside of the mine hole. He has managed to drag his body outside.
Ko looked completely haggard and sick. The Spider Queen's poison finally managed to cause damage to his inner organs.
Under the bright light, his skin color can be seen. It has turned purple.
The cave spiders let out an angry screech. They are afraid of the light. Seeing that the enemy escaped from them the cave spiders retreated to the mine slowly.
Seeing the monsters didn't dare to appear outside. He signed in relief. Then Ko hurriedly asked for support and medic from his communication watch.
In his current stage, he can't move his body. The poison has penetrated deep into the organs because of his excessive movements.
So he doesn't want to make any unnecessary moves right now. Which will become detrimental to his life.
Meanwhile,
Inside the crack, I continued to observe the surroundings. For a few minutes, there was no movement from the cave spiders. I don't know what happened.
Having no other choice, I continued to wait.
Rumble!
After a few minutes, the cave spiders rushed past again. But this time, it's different. They are heading back to their lair.
Several minutes later,
When the path was clear, I walked out and followed the route to the exit. Thankfully, I didn't exhaust my mana reserve completely.
While running, I thought about the bloodline hall's level-6 wizard. Don't know what happened to him? If he is dead, then I have to thank the spider queen.
After a few minutes, I successfully reached the exit and walked outside.
Tud!
When I landed on the ground. The first thing that caught my attention was the sick body near me.
Seeing the figure, a murderous intent flashes in my eyes. The level-6 wizard seems to be deeply injured. Looking down at his purple skin color, I muttered to myself, "He must have poked the hornet's nest."
Because the poison doesn't seem to come from an ordinary spider. My palms become sweaty all of a sudden. As I had guessed before, the monster must have been stronger than this bloodline wizard.
Then I observed his body. He seems to have lost consciousness. This is a good opportunity to get rid of him. But there is one problem here.
The bloodline wizard appeared before me. I don't know whether he had called for help or not. On top of that, it's too risky to use gravity magic here.
Then I would be caught red-handed. I don't want to make such a simple mistake. After calming down my heart, a trace of clarity appears in my thoughts.
I quickly ly phoned the mission hall's helpline number and asked them for medic and assistance. I also told them about the menace of cave spiders inside the collapsed mine.
After completing the procedure, I found a small rock to sit down on. It will take some hours to reach this place from the academy.
Looking down at the fainted body of the bloodline wizard. I shook my head in disappointment. He was fortunate enough to reach the exit in time.
To be honest, I have to thank this guy for his stupid behavior. He went ahead of me into the ruins and spotted the trouble.
If not for him, I would have gone into the ruins to investigate.
Beep!
When I was lost in thoughts. I received a call all of a sudden.
Seeing the familiar name in the contact. My mouth curves into arcs. He is none other than Senior Gilbert. I sighed in relief.
Glad that he reached out to me in time. I hurriedly attended the call to answer.
[Gilbert Reese: Vincent, how are you doing right now? What about the ruins? Did anyone follow you?]
Senior Gilbert's back-to-back questions reached my ears.
Then I also spoke to him about the cave incident.
A few minutes later,
[Gilbert Reese: So in the end, he dared to chase you alone. This incident is like a blessing in disguise for you.]
[Gilbert Reese: Anyone can see that Ko came to the mine with ulterior motives. So I will report this incident to higher-ups.]
After saying that Gilbert Reese ended the call.
I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulder. The constant bullying pissed off me greatly. Then I shut my eyes and waited for the help to arrive.
A few hours later,
Two massive aircraft landed near me. When the door opened, a team of wizards quickly arrived.
"Medical Hall," I mumbled under my breath. It's easy to discern the medical hall wizards. They have a weak physique.
So in this entire team, no one looked burly.
The medical hall's wizards quickly went to see level-6 wizards.
Upon seeing his violet color skin, they immediately began to use their magic. Seeing that a quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
It reminds me of my parents. Don't know what type of healing magic they are going to use. I watched them with interest.
At the same time, another team walked up to me. Seeing that I frowned but I quickly collected my thoughts.
A male wizard walked up to me and asked, " Are you, Vincent Carey?"
Hearing that I nodded my head.
The male wizard smiled and asked, "We are a response team sent by the mission hall. Can you tell us what is going on?"
"Mission Hall's people?" I said in my heart. Thank goodness, they arrived in time.
Then I spoke to them and revealed the news about the cave spiders.
The response team was surprised to hear the news. Some even looked down at the level-6 wizard. Seeing his condition, everyone looked afraid.
The response team is made up of level-5 wizards. Their power is not enough to face the terrifying existence hiding in the mine.
The male wizard asked, "Do you know what happened to the senior?"
I shook my head in response. "I just found him fainted outside then I contacted the mission hall for help."
I don't want to describe the whole episode. One thing is that I doubt they would believe me. It's better to lie about the level-6 wizard.
Meanwhile, the medical team finds it hard to give first aid treatment. The poison was widespread in Ko's body. Only higher-level healing wizards can do something to cure it.
