Chapter 5 (1/2)
The priest and e watched me approach from far away, fortunately they were not yet aware that I was a skeleton because the only light down here was emitted by the moss on the walls It was very hard for them to see well, so I only appeared as a human surrounded by shadows
Gwyn quickly hid inadventurers
”Don't come near me! I'm unable to be close to people”
It was funny to hear Gwin try to pass her voice off as h , it was a situation that could only be found in soe movie
”I'm sorry, I didn't know…”
They shi+vered and stopped advancing
”Please save our friends!”
”I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you earlier, but you should return to where you came from, this place is not safe”
Gwyn's tiny voice escaped from my skull but the adventurers didn't see back
”We don't kno to get back, the door we cah”
That ht just started, but it was good to get a confirmation
”I don't know of any way out so take care of yourselves”
Gwyn struggled to squeeze out those last words and I quickly headed off to the s the ht lead to a troublesome situation It was afterall quite difficult for such a sh she couldn't keep it up for long, I was glad to have Gwyn talk in my stead because otherwise, I could only run away immediately which would be even more aard
Shortly after a few es appeared in front of me
[Acquired ｟title: Savior Lv1｠]
[Acquired ｟title: Irregular Lv1｠]
'Huh? Was that supposed to be a co with my actions?'
The i but I chose to focus on the problem at hand
I was now back in the toh the Tyrant's pile of spoils I searched for many clothes so that the next time I meet people I can better hide s the most so all the clothes he had collected had soloves and shoes all enchanted with durability spells to stand the test of ti” I looked more like a hip-hop warrior than ever before I wasn't interested in covering s so I used a full helmet to cover my skull
”Choet in?”
Having soandthat she had no way to access the inside ofprobleo in, I can si she be let inside The problem hether I'd be able to hunt those tomb rats with such stiff movements
After separating from the two humans I decided to further explore the Catacombs
Maybe I would get lucky and find an exit somewhere If I hadn't found the Tomb Tyrant's treasure cave I wouldn't have found the path to this floor so the possibility existed that there were other hidden paths
'Aha!'
Eventually I discovered another new path, half hidden behind a large rockSurprisingly, it was located nearby the pit I had originally fallen down through
'I had been trying to find an exit so badly but it was in front of me the whole time!'
”Chompy! I can smell some water in this cave!”
I would have never known because having no nose, I had no sense of s hopeful because if you are trapped underground following running water is usually a good way out
Boom! Boom!
It was the sound of an incredibly large beast reverberating along the cave floor
”Chompy! What's that sound? I'm scared!”
Gwyn struggled to push upinside my skull But really what's the difference, it's not like being in there guarantees her safety
Looking around I realised that the walls of the narrow path were glossy and smooth, almost as if the rock had been melted
'How hot must the fire be to melt walls?'
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The tre
'daet out of here!”
Running at top speed I went back the same way I came
”Hey… where are you going? Are you going to help them find a way out?”
Gwyn had coure out my intentions
Gwyn looked at , proud of my selflessness but I shook my head
”Oh oh oh then what are you doing?”
I grabbed Gwyn and stuffed her back into my skull
”U to eat?”the priest asked as I got closer
It see me the whole time, fortunately I had throyn inside just in time and tapped my skull to re close so I reacted quickly, Gas upset that I threw her in without any warning, but when she heard his voice she calmed down and understood
”Hmmm…nope I have no food”
Gas definitely useful in these kinds of situations
”We really have no food at all, could you give us just a little bit?”
I crossedGwyn and the humans understand that I didn't have any food
”Sorry but there really isn't any, I said before that you shouldn't have come to this place
”Sorry I have to ask because Ian is is dying of thirst, do you have any water?”
I again showed the X sign with ers
”Sorry I don't have any water either”
”How is that…? How could can you survive without water?
He was visibly angry,to share
”I don't knoyn's si away, anxious to distance myself from the newly explored cave
Kuwoong! Kuwong! Kuwoong!
Looking across the hall I could see an ied monster which seemed to be the boss of the area
'Is that a dragon?'
With such long legs it must be nearly 10 meters tall if it were to stand up If I face him head on I'll definitely die
Push
'What?!'
The priest had approached from behind on and hadn't been aware of s, it was my mistake
”Ha! You wanted to eat alone and live well! Also ere in danger with the gargoyles you didn't exactly rush in to help You can consider this as our revenge Ha ha ha! We will soon die of thirst but you will join us!” He cried as he ran away
I rolled over and saw his back running away, I had risked oyles and yet this is hoas repaid
I realized I was on death's door, on approach as I stayed sitting down
It had a gigantic grayish-brown body, its countless scales were hard like turtle shells in hexagonal shape It's height from its toes to the top of its head was approxi nostril face of a crocodile but with bigger andIt also had a short neck, ator
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It quickly closed the 6 e nostrils to smell me
Sniff! Sniff!
