Chapter 42 42 - Hell

As the Kill Streak increased, Ryan could feel his mana recharging, as well as his demon energy increasing. The more of those kobolds he exterminated, the better it felt.

His chest was racing, it was as if he was happy to see those creatures being exterminated. In a sword fight, he might not have been able to face that large amount of enemies, but now that he was in a better place, it was easy to eliminate those creatures.

A kind of dark energy began to flow around Ryan's body, and he felt more and more influenced by this power. A giant goo of dead flesh was spread over the village street, with pieces of armor and swords scattered on the ground.

As he finished killing one group of crushed kobolds, another group piled on top of the dead bodies, ready to be annihilated.

[113 - Kill Streak]

Ryan was so focused on exterminating those creatures that he forget one important detail, his focus was not on eliminating all the waves of monsters, but rather, eliminating the main boss.

With a smile on his face, Ryan walked down to the street and headed towards another wave of Kobolds. He would advance to the top of the village, where he supposed the portal boss was.

On the other side of the mountain, the group coordinated by the Guild was having trouble with the Superior Rabbits. Dozens of rabbits were appearing every second, jumping up from within the earth and attacking with bursts of mud soil. So far, no warriors were seriously injured, but some of the hunters' pets had already been eliminated.

The arrangement that Damian Smith suggested was simple, perhaps even overly basic. The hunters were launching their pets to attack the rabbits, while the mages and hunters were shooting at the vital points of the monsters. When a rabbit had already lost both eyes, an assassin or a warrior would approach to exterminate the monster.

This was taking too long, and it was perceptible how tired the group was. The tanks were holding their shields in front of the news crew, preventing any civilians from getting hurt. The employees of the adventurers' guild just exchanged nervous glances; after all, this was bad publicity for the guild.

At the back of the team, two men in suits were talking.

"I think we'd better move on, we can use a group evasion cleric skill," A younger man said, while removing his sunglasses.

"I don't know if that will work. Let's go like this, have the paladins use an Area Stun. Then we'll use the two druids to cast blessing of disguise and run away from here, invisible" The other, the visibly older man concluded.



"Yes sir!" He said, heading toward the teams.

Damian Smith was at the head of the group, a little further away he jogged back and forth killing those Superior Rabbits. All the adventurers were embarrassed by that situation, after all, as much as those monsters were far from cute or likable, they were peaceful creatures who were just defending their territory.

The prodigy had a smile on his face, but because of the distance, he couldn't hear the orders of the guild members. Until then, all the rabbits fell to the ground, asleep.

Two of the paladins activated the sacred sleep skill. Causing the monsters to sleep with the chanting of the blessing of the light. Those two warriors were glowing, casting a burst of light on all the creatures around the group.

That flash irritated Damian's eyes, who, confused, headed toward the group.

"What happened?! I was exterminating those pests!" Damian shouted, irritated.

Everyone on the team just ignored his speech and went on with the plan, after all, in a short time more rabbits would appear. Damian then ran towards the group, confused. Two of the Druids began to cast an invisibility spell on the team, causing them to vanish from sight.

Another horde of rabbits emerged, but none of them attacked the guild's group. Then the monsters started digging holes and went into retreat.

"Did you guys manage to track where the center of the portal is?" A paladin said.

"So far, nothing. But I imagine there must be some village in those mountains, maybe it's best to keep going up the mountain" A dwarf hunter said while running his hand through his long white beard.

*WWWUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

The group heard a terrifying sound, it wasn't just a scream of pain, it was the scream of dozens of kobolds agonizing in pain. All the travelers exchanged confused looks.

"Lupis Kobolds are common monsters in green portals, they must be the creatures of this challenge," A druid said.

"Yes, but if they are eliminated so easily. And at the same time..." One of the paladins said as he started to conjure a Buff Skill.





"It means that there is something inside the portal that is much stronger than them, perhaps stronger than the Portal Boss" The old man in a social suit said, as he stepped forward in front of the group.

"The regional guild officer..." One of the younger warriors said, surprised.

That group moved on, and in a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance to the village of Crystaldrift. As soon as they found the entrance gate to the village, everyone in the group was faced with a terrifying sight.

Several bodies of Lupi Kobolds were strewn close to the ruins of that village. The grass in front of them was painted red, from a river of blood flowing in between the stones of the main street of the village. There were arms, heads, and legs rolling down the mountainside.

Some of the reporters began to vomit, while others were apprehensive and afraid. All the guild warriors began to set up for a fight that could completely change the fate of their lives.

The group moved forward with apprehension, stepping over that river of blood and moving on. The path was difficult to travel, not only because of the blood that made the stones of that place slippery, but also because of dozens of tree roots that prevented the passage on foot.

"What's that? It was the trees that killed this group?" One of the warriors said.

"Those roots were controlled with nature magic, someone is killing the kobolds with it" One of the druids said, while looking at a kobold head stuck in the thorn of a root.

Another noise of pain arose, this time it was not in sync. It was just several screams of pain close together, as if an army was being eliminated one by one, and not all at once.

"What the fuck is happening here, this place looks like a living hell," One of the druids said in fear.

"That's a great word choice for using in here. Maybe you are right about it..." The regional guild officer said, crossing his arms and looking seriously at the sequel of the village path.

"What do you mean?" One of the officials said, confused, with his voice trembling.

The look on that old official's face, was serious and thoughtful, looking at the group. The regional guild officer said,

"This place is a living hell. So we might face the demon."
