Chapter 81: The Slumbers End. (1/2)

In a split second, they had gone from the third floor to the outside. During that moment, only one thought echoed in the back of their heads.

How did he do it?

The city was in ruins. The buildings destroyed, the air damp and polluted from all the smoke. The clouds above their as dark as anyone could imagine. It was nothing like what it was in the past.

Especially the stench generated by all the corpses lying around the roads. With flies swarming the area, it was enough to make both Aurora and Violet almost puke.

The horned princess on the other hand didn't seem too bothered by it, neither did Gray. The zombies which roamed around were the only thing which caught their attention.

They roamed around with their heads hung with no real objective in mind. The fact that anyone could turn into a mindless being such as that from a bite would be enough to freak anyone out. Fortunately, their weren't any hordes around them, only a few moving.

Most of them had probably fallen into the labyrinth's hole so the numbers were quite thinned down. They wouldn't be a problem to deal with and none of them seemed to be mutated.

After glancing up, Violet noticed a few birds mutated zombies flying around in the sky. Although they wouldn't pose much of a threat, it would be good to keep an eye on them.

Still, she couldn't get her mind around what had just happened. As she glanced at Gray she couldn't help but notice the change in both his presence and aura.

'Come to think of it, I've never asked him about his ability, have I-'

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted however, by someone who broke the silence-

”Are you crazy? Why would you use that again when it almost killed you last time?” The princess asked, staring at him with narrowed eyes.

”I'm fine.” Said Gray as blood could be seen flowing out of the corner of his lips.

He proceeded to fall to his knees before placing his hand over his chest, even after evolving his insides and organs felt as if they would burst.

With a slight giggle, he pulled out a closed flask from his pocket before gesturing at them to wait,

”What's this?” The man asked as he glanced at a head which was placed on the floor ahead of him.

Ahead of him stood a shadow manifested into the shape of a humanoid being. He was on his knees with his head bowed and ahead of the shadow was a pair of red horns stuck out from the head; a familiar face could be seen on it.

”Isn't that Baron Hart's son? What happened?” He asked.

”Your majesty, you are correct. He was slain by a hyuman.”

”Did I not order the nobles to sit tight?”

”Yes sir... But you see, the nobles are growing impatient... It's been long since we've arrived but we've yet to conquer any Labyrinths. The hyumans also seem to be getting stronger, they've formed squads which have successfully managed to take out many of our middle to upper ranks.” He muttered.
