These Familiars Are Strange

"Is that what will happen to us if the Abyss invades Earth?" Wang Rong couldn't help asking as we walked away from that sand person.

Iris immediately narrowed her eyes to look at Wang Rong, but he didn't flinch as he looked at me.

I didn't say anything at first, but eventually I said, "We're not going to let that happen."

Both Iris and Wang Rong revealed determined looks before nodding in agreement.

After exiting the camp, it didn't take us long to arrive at where the sand people were currently fighting the Abyss Demons.

The camp itself wasn't that far from the battlefield, which was why it was strange that a camp like that even existed in the first place. But even if we questioned the existence of the camp, it wasn't as if that would solve anything.

We couldn't even understand the meaning of this Hidden Dungeon, even if we had found some clues.

We just stood on the sand dune, looking down at the sand people and Abyss Demons fighting in the desert in front of us.

I was about to step forward, but both Wang Rong and Iris stopped me before I could head towards the Abyss Demons. The two of them stood in front of me to stop me from approaching them, but it wasn't that they were protecting me or the Abyss Demons.

"You had your turn last time, it's our turn now." Wang Rong said with a smile.

Iris didn't say anything, but she did nod in agreement to this.

I didn't say anything either, but there was a trace of a bitter smile that appeared on my face.

However, I also didn't refute what they said since it was the truth.

I had taken that group of Abyss Demons before entering this Hidden Dungeon because I wanted to test my abilities, but now it was indeed their turn to fight the Abyss Demons.

So I just stood back and let the two of them do what they wanted to do.

Of course, I also summoned a skeletal wolf for Iris as her transport.

The two of them didn't go together, but rather they split up so that they attacked the Abyss Demons from other sides. It seemed that they were planning on fighting separately so that they didn't get in each other's ways.

But I knew that they were doing this so that they could get the Abyss Demons all for themselves.

It didn't take long before Wang Rong's great sword was cutting through the Abyss Demons and Iris was shooting her lightning bolts at them.

It really didn't seem like they were struggling, it even seemed too easy for them. It even seemed like the Abyss Demons that were here were easier than the ones that were outside the Hidden Dungeon.

That was because they didn't have the same intelligence as the ones outside of the Hidden Dungeon. The Abyss Demons that were in this place almost seemed like puppets with the way that they moved.

It made sense since these were just mob monsters that were created by the Hidden Dungeon.

They didn't cooperate like the Abyss Demons outside would, so it was easy for Wang Rong and Iris to split them up and pick them off.

I was quite bored watching them and wanted to join in myself, but I held back in the end.

But then as I was watching, there was something that suddenly popped up in front of my face that completely caught me off guard.

It was a minimap.

However, it wasn't just the minimap alone that caught me off guard, but also the things that were on the minimaps.

It was a bunch of green and red dots that were there.

Looking carefully at the green and red dots that were on the minimap, I was able to figure out just what these things represented.

Naturally there were two green dots that represented Iris and Wang Rong, but I was surprised to find that there were also green dots that represented the sand people that were there in front of me.

It seemed that whatever system this was, it also recognized the sand people as allies.

I couldn't help wondering just where this minimap came from, but I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw one of the green dots disappear.

Looking down, I found that it was because one of the sand people had been taken down by the Abyss Demons that surrounded them.

Even if Iris and Wang Rong were rampaging among the Abyss Demons, that didn't mean that they had enough power alone to actually stop all of the Abyss Demons. There were just too many Abyss Demons in the first place since this was a large battlefield.

However, I did just obtain an ability that would allow me to manipulate the battlefield on a large scale basis and I was technically helping our allies by doing this.

It wasn't as if I was directly taking part in the battle…

That was the loophole that I used to start fighting the Abyss Demons as well.

Though I mainly just used illusions to stop the Abyss Demons that were about to hurt the sand people. With the illusions stopping the Abyss Demons, the sand people were able to easily take down the Abyss Demons, though they did seem confused about what happened.

All during this, I made sure to send the skeletal rats to pick up the loot from the Abyss Demons that they killed.

Just like this, the three of us continued to slaughter the Abyss Demons as the sun continued to set.

It was only when it became dark that we finally stopped with satisfied looks on our faces.

Part of killing the Abyss Demons was because of the quest that we received.

But the bigger part of it was that we had been venting the emotions that we felt.

The revelation of what this Hidden Dungeon was and what it could mean for our world was quite big…

It wasn't good to keep those feelings trapped inside.
