From MC's perspective:
"Wow, look at this place."
"Why are there rotten corpses here?" the level-6 wizards are curiously looking around the surroundings.
But they failed to notice the eye of the level-7 wizard who was beaming with joy.
"I was right. That b@stard has been here," He said in his heart.
There is still a distance away from the actual spot. After looking at the surroundings, he understood the monsters might have lived here.
Otherwise, it's difficult to find the corpses of the same kind of monsters in one place. When the surrounding investigation was done.
The level-7 wizard then started to guide them towards the location. But when they appeared in the center of the ruins,
They saw a huge opening leading to the underground passage.
"Hey, what kind of place is this?"
"Are the foreigners hiding here?"
"If it's true, then they have found a good job."
The group jokingly spoke to each other. But they didn't know it was the actual truth.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's enter inside," The level-7 wizard said.
Hearing that, the rest of them were surprised. They are just now poking fun at each other. But never thought to be true.
The level-7 wizard saw through their thoughts.
"Mark's cause of death is unknown. It might not be related to foreign wizards," he said to everyone.
Since Mark's last appearance, I found it here. Then he must have triggered something unknown in this ancient site.
As a level-7 wizard, he had several life-and-death experiences. So the death of Mark was not surprising to him. The ancient world is so old.
Who knows what kind of danger is hidden here? But still, the level-7 wizard has thoughts about secretly collecting treasures here.
Then the team entered the hidden passage and started walking forward in the tunnel. They don't know what kind of existence is waiting for them at the end of the passage.
Time flies,
Soon the team reached the unknown metal room. Which made the team pause and look after the room.
At this point, the level-6 wizards seemed to have guessed something. Their friend Mark had stumbled upon a great chance.
But unfortunately, he fell here. The group of wizards have a tacit understanding between them. They didn't raise the question with a level-7 wizard.
They started to check the room one by one. Seeing their activity, the level-7 wizard didn't stop them.
More than finding Mark's corpse. He is more interested in seeing anything valuable here.
But soon everyone faced disappointment. Apart from the strange walls, ceilings, and floors. There was no secret compartment.
"Harumph" After knowing that he wasted time. The level-7 wizard snorted.
"Let's go inside," He added.
Hearing that everyone continued their journey.
Meanwhile,
In the Gregior Mansion, I noticed the sound from outside. I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror.
"The monster was awake," Seeing that I sat upright.
Then I saw the Giant Centipede monster again looking at the entrance with one eye. Like a child waiting for a candy.
Seeing that I instantly felt goosebumps all over my body. This is going to be an unforgettable experience in my life. Even better than Tolu Country and No Man's Land.
Even there I hadn't come across such a weird and powerful monster.
After pushing down these thoughts, I started observing the monster. If the monster is awake then it could be only one thing.
"The support is coming," A faint smile appeared on my face.
I hope they are level-8 wizards. If not they are going to end up with nothing but dinner food for the monster.
I see the space itself is distorting around the monster. Which shows the horror of the monster.
I couldn't help but think how much force of gravitational pressure was needed to crush these moments.
I hope I will be able to reach such a level soon.
On the other hand, the level-7 wizard and the team members started approaching the end. But they are encountering weird corpses on the way.
"Look at the corpses. Someone has smashed their monsters into pieces."
"Mark also loves to use a fist. Could he have killed all of these monsters?" the level-6 wizards started to speak.
The level-7 wizard's eyes flickered. He is leading their team at the front. But as the team went deeper, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
But he calmed down himself by saying it's confusion related to Mark's death.
Apart from looking at monsters' dead bodies, he is also looking for Mark's corpse. Only after finding that corpse, he can sigh in relief.
Soon the group saw a bright light flashing ahead in the tunnel.
"Hey, what's that light?"
"It might be an exit."
"Wow, we found the exit. This place disgusts me more. I couldn't stand the bad breath," A female wizard said in an annoying tone.
The group is also affected by the smell of unknown gas. However, the unknown gas was not strong enough to enter their body.
"Okay, stop talking and walk faster," The level-7 wizard said.
Hearing that everyone increased their pace. When they saw the bright opening ahead. Everyone sighed in relief.
But outside, the 8th-order monster rose above from the ground. Its whole body appeared in mid-air. The space can be seen distorting around the body.
But the monster's eyes kept staring at the opening.
In the Gregor Mansion,
"It's coming," I stood up from the chair.
I don't know how many unlucky birds are going to enter the monster's mouth.
Outside,
Swish~
The level-7 wizards and others rose from the ground and appeared above the mid-air.
"Ah"
"What place is this?" The female wizard cursed out loud. As the extremely bad breath attacked their nostrils.
Hearing that everyone saw the place was full of dense unknown gas. The breath is similar to those in the tunnel.
The level-7 furrowed his eyebrows. When he turned around. He saw the pool of blood on the ground.
Seeing that his pupil shrank. He tried to retreat backward. The next second, his expression changes drastically
He found he wasn't able to move his body.
"Aah"
"What's happening?"
"I'm stuck" The level-6 wizards realized their situation. Everyone's expression turned pale with fright.
