Chapter 394 Running For The End!

Both of them knew who this voice belonged to and Eon especially knew what those weird words spoken in the native language of the evil spirit's time were.

The angry emotions were clear in that loud voice that rang out throughout the tomb was a clear sign that they had to change their slow plans.

...

"Celes! Special command line 2!"

[[ Yes! ]]

Eon knew just what this enraged voice meant, so he didn't waste even a second and started putting the confused and suddenly horrified cute looking povpoi into his white crack.

He didn't even have a second to explain anything, so they were even more confused. But he didn't say anything to the young ones and just gave a quick glance to their mom, Mave.

She understood it too, so she did not say anything and went into the white crack after her children were safely placed in.

[< Whyyyyyy! You both should have died! What the hell were those fucking weaklings doing! Not even able to block two fucking children?! >]

-Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaamble!

The evil spirit was still just shouting and with every word it uttered, the whole cave, if not the whole tomb, shook like a high degree of earthquake!

He was doing his best to quickly leave this place, and he still had to safely store the lizardman, his newly acquired sword, warrior, and person.

He had to get out of here and reach the place with this evil spirit as soon as possible.

And the same was true for his friend!

[[ "What are you doing?! Have you taken care of the lich or not?!" ]]

His voice was filled with concern and even though he seemed angry, she understood that he was worried about her.

She was fighting a creature who can give hard time to his lizardman champion even after being a mage.

A lich had almost eternal life and she might have to destroy the lich's whole physical body to do any damage.

It would still be alive because of his immortal soul, but it wasn't something that can threaten her.

She could have very well cleared the lich and reached the trap zone, but he had to confirm things. He hadn't talked with her throughout his fight, after all.

His voice contained fear as he asked her through Celes's connection too, and she understood that the gravity of the situation was denser than she had thought.

[[ "I didn't need to do that! I freed the lich, and he is some crazy darkness fanatic. He is also old. But he is now my faithful follower! His name is Morris! Maybe you have heard of him!" ]]

[[ "Morris Orpheus?! How the hell is that person here?!" ]]

[[ "So you do know him! Well, it's a long story, but he is with me now! I'm finished here so I will use shadow's travel and quickly clear the trap zone! You quickly reach to the core too!" ]]

[[ "It's crazy! Ok! I'm off... don't get hurt! I will punish you if you do something stupid!" ]]

[[ "There's nothing stupid to do! I will reach there before you, so take care of yourself and be on time!" ]]

[[ "We will see that!" ]]

Their small conversation ended, and he didn't waste any more time and reached the lizardman.

[< "Let's go!" >]

Unlike the povpoi, he asked the lizardman before pushing him into the white crack. He was too big to easily push, anyway.

-Traaaaaaaaaamble!

[< Master! Allow me to carry you! I can at least do that much! Save your strength! The small traps and the long ride are nothing for this strong body! >]

The cave was going to fall, and he had no time to save anything else here. It will crumble down soon, so they had to get out of there as soon as possible.

The lizardman had just recovered from that attack and wasn't in his best condition, but he still offered himself and the Eon didn't deny the help. He agreed that the lizardman's superability and recovery power will be better.

He also had his last trump card, [Berserk ], unused. His speed and mobility would be much better, so without hesitation, he climbed the green scale-covered back of the lizardman champion.

[< "Ok! Let's go!" >]

The lizardman confirmed that his master had adjusted properly and used his berserk skill.

It was a skill that increased his physical ability and decreased his sanity or just left him with a single objective.

It was a dangerous ability in normal raids and monster fights, but right now, the lizardman only had the safety of his master as his priority.

His goal was to cross the path ahead of him as quickly as he could.

"Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

So he didn't delay any longer!

As soon as the red aura of madness covered his body, he took a running stance and, with a sharp roar, shot his body forward!

The cave was falling because of the evil spirit's anger. This whole place was that bastard's territory, after all.

Just like how the lizardman and the magma golem could exert their authority in their fields, this bastard could also control the whole of the tomb.

He could destroy, remove, shuffle, and recreate any part of the tomb.

But this ability, as known by humans, requires tremendous energy and resources, and the creatures only seldom use it.

And right now, this evil spirit was so enraged that the whole of the place was getting affected!

-Tremble! Tremble!!

Both of the caves the two of them were in were falling, and they knew they had to move as quickly as they can.

He had already started moving with the berserk lizardman, who had his agility, strength, and stamina enhanced after using his skill.

He was riding him, but not that way! Reinelle would kill us if she hears this!

But talking about Reinelle...

"Oy! Morris! Come here! Let's get out of here!!"

[ "Master! Wait for a minute!" ] He shouted with confidence and started chanting a spell.

"Oyy! What the fuck are you doing!?" she shouted with an angry voice, but the lich didn't say anything and continued chanting.

She didn't know what he was doing, but she was fucking angry at this bastard who was doing this chanting shit at this crucial time!

They can escape from here quickly and reach that place with her skill, but this bastard was doing something shitty thing and wasn't even answering her anymore.

She thought that he was still working for that evil spirit, but she wiped that thought as soon as she noticed the kind of spell that he was chanting.

She had a deep knowledge of common magic, so she could tell just from the chants that this spell, this weird long chanting he was doing, was a true (Teleportation) spell!

He was a lich, so it wasn't surprising that he could use a teleportation spell.

And from how smart he was, she believed that he knew the coordinates of the core part where the evil spirit was and was preparing a spell to directly go there.

Which was a fucking genius idea!

"Finish quickly!" she shouted and looked around the place.

She knew he would take a bit. And if he was doing this important work, she couldn't just stay still and just wait for the spell to complete.

-Traaaaaaaaaamble!

The ground and the ceiling were shaking and...

[< You fucking witch! What the fuck did you do to my lich and knight! >]

The evil spirit can exert its authority in this place, but even it couldn't use its actual skills when we weren't in its range.

It was using its power to destroy its own home... which it can definitely build back later, but the destruction of the intruders was the only thing on its mind.

The place they were in was getting destroyed and this was the place that belong to this lich until not long ago.

There were things that were important to the rich as well as some things that were usable, unique, and interesting. Books were one of the things she coveted the most.

There was a whole fucking giant shelf filled with old books here! She was, no way in hell, going to miss them now that she had the chance to get them.

So!

-Traaaaaaaaaamble! 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

The trembling continued, and she moved from place to place, opened her skill, [Storage of brass coin], and started storing anything that was grabbed by her hurrying hands.

-Suuuuuuuuuuuung.

Her storage skill was special. As soon as it manifested in the form of a blank brass coin, the coin expanded and became a loop with a dark void in the center and she started throwing things inside it.

'The skill uses up too much Mana, but it is worth it!'

The skill was so convenient that she could move the hoop at her will. And she took the advantage of this ability and moved the complete loop above the bookshelf and moved it down from there!

The hoop ate the whole bookshelf, and she moved to the next things!

-Traaaaaaaaamble!

-Crack! Crack! Crack!

The solid ground had started cracking, and the area had almost been devastated!

[ "Master...!" ]

And by the time he stopped his chanting and turned back, she had almost cleared out the entire area, including all his dear plants and watering can.

His nonexistent heart was moved once again as he saw her tired face and once again swore to serve her to the best of his abilities.

"Let's go!" She shouted at the blank lich as soon as she heard his voice and moved to his side.

-Booooooooooom!

The area was almost destroyed and only the ground beneath the barrier protecting the two of them was intact. But it was alright... he had finished the teleportation spell and now there was a dark gate before him.

The barrier was also almost destroyed, and it couldn't hold on much longer. Both of them knew this fact, so they just looked at each other and nodded.

She believed in him and they just jumped inside the gate without any other word and vanished from the place...

-Booooooooooom!

And as soon as they vanished, the barrier-covered place they were in, the only place remaining that wasn't destroyed until now, was crushed down under the sharp-hard rocks of the ceiling of the open cave area!

-Swiiiiiiiiish...

The area became desolate after that, almost a barren land with no life.

Maybe a similar scene was taking place throughout all the paths of the cave, but the possibility that only the two caves with the intruders were being destroyed was higher in comparison.

But she was safe now. Her faithful servant-, her faithful follower had taken her to the place where the evil spirit can't exciter the territory authority even if it wanted to.

Maybe that bastard can see everything happening throughout the tomb, but there would definitely be a gate, the so-called boss gate, to his chamber. And that was the place that it wouldn't come out of even if it knew the intruders had reached there.

It was arrogant, lazy, as well as crazy, after all. It was also underestimating the two intruders, even to this moment.

It will soon change though...

That being wasn't a fool.

It had conned a sane lich and masterfully destroyed half of the island they were on.

It would soon calm down and go back to its cunning, evil self. And it would be the creepy thing when they meet it.

And they were going to meet soon.

Very soon...

Welp. For now...

Eon was being carried by his new follower and the two of them were breaking through the countless traps like it was just a normal road.

The lizardman was moving at a pace that was hard to believe considering he had just finished a spar and as the duration of his berserk skill was nearing its end, their speed, instead of decreasing, was getting even faster.

The path they were following was straight and full of different physical and magical traps. Even so…

The lizardman possessed senses that could even detect an ant in an empty room, so the traps were a small thing for him.

Still, even he couldn't avoid all the traps. At least not his berserk self.

Some were activated, and some also hurt him, but he didn't care about his own body at this moment.

These small traps were nothing compared to the near-death experience he had felt just a moment ago when his body was holed by an arrow.

He was defeated by an arrow far stronger than the lowly arrows that were used in the traps on this path.

The traps were nothing for this team, so they cleared the path and reached the core in a time that would be impossible for even a high ranked experienced adventurer party.

They reached this place in minutes... and still; it was strange that the other group, the lich, and his dear Rein, were already there, and were engaged in a battle with a swamp of mad monsters.

She had arrived here before him but the monsters throughout the tomb, all the remaining small fires had gathered here and were now attacking her and her newly acquired slave-, her newly acquired follower.

Their opponents ranged from the normal (Red) rank skeletons to the three mad creatures with similar strength as the troll mage that he had defeated.

There was also one on the same level as her lich and his lizardman, but that one wasn't attacking them and was just watching from the side.

It was surprising, but this creature... was a ghost.

It was a humanoid ghost who was clearly analyzing the opponents and planning on how to deal with them.

The girl strangely possessed a weapon with the power of light and the lich was a being that could most certainly do damage to a creature like this ghost.

It was destroying the attacks even now, with its special plant undead which were unnaturally more powerful than the regular undead creatures.

He was an undead himself, but he was helping a living... and this fact didn't go well with this ghost.

He was analyzing the two of them and now, two new intruders had appeared from behind them.

He wanted to keep analyzing the two of them, but among these two new intruders, there was something concerning.

One of the two new intruders possessed the power of light. The ghost was sure that this person possessed the actual power of light and not just some weapon like the girl.

This new intruder was more dangerous, so the ghost had to take care of this one before that girl.

And Eon, after talking with his dear friend through their glances, also knew that this ghost was a bigger problem than the other creatures which were just mindlessly rushing toward his Rein and the lich.

He was prepared for the fight with the ghost, so he sent the lizardman away to fight the troll mage-level beings.

He looked at the ghost, which looked different from the one that he had faced in the past, and took out Asta and an attractive white bow with an eye-catching design and three mysterious golden jewels embedded in it.

This was his seventh favorite bow. The white bow of light, the nemesis of all undead, Don.

And just as its name, as soon as he took out this bow, all the stronger undead, including the ghost flying towards him and the evil spirit watching from behind the gate of this place, were... frightened to their soul and bones.
