Chapter 98 - (98) Glass (1/2)

Geth was sitting in the catacombs waiting for Filthy to arrive. He had already emptied the half-full barrels of liquid Mana that morning.

Closing his eyes, he focused on the Rune for ”Gather” that was etched on the upper wall of his Mana pool. There was no way that it was a simple dream.

Mana was constantly pulling in through the spiral. As the Mana slipped in, it condensed into a liquid. The liquid fell gradually into the lake below.

His mind also played scenes of a dream he'd had a month or more back. The sudden expansion of the Earth and the appearance of hundreds of different creatures.

It all seemed to have happened at some point. One thing that Geth didn't understand was the difference in size.

In his current situation, the world had expanded about ten times over. In the apocalyptic nightmare, the Earth had grown at least one hundred times in size.

There was nothing he could do with this information. Albus hadn't spoken to him all morning, as if something was on his mind.

Geth had his suspicions, but it wouldn't make a difference anyway. Albus knew everything that he did.

At the moment, he was looking at the two women sprawled across his covers. His beautiful wife and the young Alise really were eye-catching... Particularly in their current state.

The three had talked the night before. Zolis was elated that Alise wanted to be with them, and she had shown her joy the night before.

Geth was still on the fence about it. It wasn't that he hadn't started to develop feelings for Alise as well.

He was simply worried that she was using them to overcome her recent trauma. Zolis would grow attached quickly. Geth didn't want her to be hurt if the younger woman suddenly changed her mind.

*Sigh*

It was then that a light pounding could be heard on his door. He stood and headed out into the hallway.

A disheveled-looking Farris was waiting for him. The man looked like he had skipped a night's sleep.

”Boss, I found a new Dungeon southwest from here. It seems that the creatures there are the Zombie types that you told me to look out for.”

Geth raised his brow, ”Could you tell what Level the creatures were?”

Harris shook his head, ”I'm sorry, but I couldn't get close. The Zombies were swarming the place.”

He thought for a moment and added, ”They seem to have a long-range of smell, too.”

”The information that I've read on them say that they can detect living beings within 50 yards. Also, they aren't faster than a normal human, but they have an obscene amount of Strength.” Geth replied.

Farris just nodded in agreement. ”The few Zombies that did chase after me were already in the high Level 20's. There's no telling how strong those in the Dungeon are.”

”The only thing we can do is handle it wh-” Geth stopped when he heard the sound of someone approaching.

He turned his head to see that Hulk was walking his way. ”Geth! Filthy made it back!”
