Chapter 31 30. The Eyeballs!
Noah's steps paused at this moment as his face paled. He had seen how his system had ended up killing a monster just like that. He would never be able to do it in his lifetime!
And now, he was told there was a herd of those beings?! He quit!
He was not playing this game anymore!
Noah's Adam's Apple bobbled as his lips parted, "System, do you have any suggestions?"
Shane thought for a moment as he glanced at the radar. There was no way he was going to spend another five hundred Crana for killing those monsters. He would only use that method unless and until it was a life and death scene. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
At this moment, if they could save themselves easily, Shane wouldn't have to worry about anything. He opened his mouth and said, "Run in the opposite direction."
Noah didn't have to be reminded before he turned around and sprinted. He tried not to glance at the corpse of the monster, but how could he not take a peak when there was a headless monster lying in front of him with all of its blood and vessels visible to the naked eye?
At this time, Shane could also feel his host's emotions that were spreading around his body. A feeling of nausea climbed up his throat, struggling to get out and fall to the ground. Just then, he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you waiting for? Do you want to be trampled by those monsters?!"
That's when Noah woke up from a daze and nodded, still sweating. A stench of blood permeated the surrounding at this time as his nose wrinkled. He finally gathered his courage and crossed the corpse and ran for his life. His face was still pale, but he managed to run as fast as he could.
Sure enough. The life and death situation often made people do things they wouldn't do. Shane could almost tell that this was probably the first time his host had run so fast. When the host stopped, he was already standing in a dark hall filled with brick color walls, dark red carpet, and a circular staircase leading upstairs. There was a closed door in the middle of the staircase on both sides. Shane saw as his host tilted his head to look up only to see a few floors above.
The topmost one seemed to be the smallest with only one room. Shane's eyes narrowed at that. Could it be similar to a tower game where they would have to climb above to pass through the level?
Since they didn't have any other choice, it was a better option to just go ahead with the current plan. In any case, they would probably end up getting more hints at this moment. Shane didn't think much of it as he said, "Walk upstairs. I guess we have to pass through three towers before reaching the topmost room. We can safely assume that it will be the boss room."
Noah nodded, "I also agree with you. This seems more like a game. So I'll get my weapon there?"
"Probably," Shane didn't want to promise anything at this moment. He felt like things were too simple until now, but then again, this was their first dungeon. He didn't know anything about the level, but he had learned about what kind of dangers he would face in portals of varied colors.
For instance, light blue portals would have a boss of level five, which might be easily killed with the help of his ultimate weapon. Shane pursed his lips thinking of it. He would have to practice using it more because, at his level, just a swing would drain his life force and cosmic energy both completely.
He should save it as an emergency weapon then. He glanced at his inventory. All the weapons he obtained were powerful enough to kill the monsters and giants above level five. So, Shane was confident that even if his host wasn't able to finish his mission, he could take over the host's body and do it in his stead.
At this moment, he didn't know the dangers that had been waiting for him and Noah in the boss room. Since the color of the dungeon changed from light blue to dark blue, in an instant, he would face a monster of a higher power than himself.
But right now, Shane was unaware of these changes, and he naively believed that he could solve this dungeon and get out of this world without any life-threatening moments.free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om
The two people were pumped up as they climbed upstairs. As soon as they reached that place, darkness spread all across the place. A sense of foreboding spread across Shane's heart as he stared at the screen with squinted eyes.
As Noah took his first step, they both heard the crisp sound of something cracking beneath the boy's feet. The sound echoed in the background, making him shiver. Shane continued to stare at the scene and also glanced at the radar at the same time.
Nothing changed.
Noah took another step forward. Another crisp sound was heard. This time, the host was completely scared. He gulped and asked, "System, what's beneath my foot?"
"Don't you have a torch? Use it."
The host nodded, but for some reason, the silence on this level made him feel nervous. His hands trembled as he opened his menu and pulled out the torch. As soon as he turned it on and looked down, his entire body froze.
What lay beneath his feet were two human eyes broken into multiple pieces. It could be said that these two eyes were just now crushed by his feet, and the inside of these eyes seemed to be hollow with nothing inside. But that wasn't the creepy thing.
The torchlight moved around the room only to find millions of similar eyeballs lying on the ground, staring at Noah's face. The pupils seemed to have been stationed at his face, and the eyeballs that weren't facing him originally turned toward him in a creepy way, making a small creaking sound.
A room filled with strange eyeballs, staring at you in a ghastly manner….
No matter how strong one was, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. Shane was also the same. His heartbeat quickened as he stared at the strangeness of this current tower.
Was this supposed to be the easy level?
His host had already broken two of the eyeballs. Would something happen if they continued to break some more?
As he was continuing to think about it, the broken parts of two eyeballs gathered together and merged into one another, forming a bigger eyeball that fell on the ground with a thud.
A few small eyeballs broke from the impact as their pieces merged into the bigger ball, increasing the size of that creepy thing.
Shane and Noah were stunned and frightened as they stared at the horrific scene in front of their eyes. None of them wanted to imagine what the monster would look like if all the small balls would transfer into the bigger one!
No! Shane looked at the scene anxiously. He would have to stop the bigger ball from breaking other eyes. He had a feeling that the last form of this monster wouldn't be something he wanted to see.
