227 Rage 3 (1/2)

Just when the Level 5 host serving as the keeper of this branch of the organization was engrossed in her laughter, another woman appeared by the staircase of this basement level.

Her long glossy hair on her back blended with the darkness behind at the same time that her impossibly fair and smooth-looking face got shone upon by the flickering candle lights.

The beautiful reddish glow gave the beautiful face an ethereal look. It made her look a bit more sensuous and mature than usual.

When her right high heeled shoe made contact with the steps of the stairs, she immediately looked around.

If her guess was correct, this was already the lowest floor. And Wendy should be somewhere in here.

When Sofony went past the wall of the staircase and stepped into the hallway, it was revealed that she was actually dragging a bald muscular man with her.

The face of this person looked so pitiful. There were many bruises. His face was swollen and the eyes looked like a panda's. His burly body too was so bloody and miserable.

”This is the last place, right?”

She only heard muffled grunts in between sobs and incomprehensible mumblings as an answer.

Her face hardened.

The place was dark so she had the system enhanced her vision.

”Left or right?”

In fear of what she would do if he didn't answer immediately, the incapacitated man hurriedly pointed his trembling fingers to the left.

That side was where important host prisoners were held, while the left was where huge prisons meant for slaves were, and since the woman was looking for someone who seemed important, he didn't hesitate to point to the first direction.

”Sure?”

Sofony grew disinterested with the person when he repeatedly nodded. That was what frightened the man the most.

When he began to hear the scary and hair-raising sounds of ants and insects coming down to their location and she started walking to the left without dragging him off, his face paled in fear and he grabbed onto the woman's fair legs.

The man did that because his own tendons were cut off!

He wouldn't be able to walk anymore!

Which means if the woman doesn't carry him with her, the army of man-eating insects would catch up to him and devour him alive!

He, despite being a baldie, doesn't want to die yet, no matter how irrelevant his baldness was to the current situation!

”Iiiiinnnnggggghhhhh!!!! Hnnngggh! HHnggg!” His desperation manifested as unknown words which only served to worsen the irritation the unnerved woman was already feeling.

Sofony evaded the baldie's hands. She quickened her steps in order to get to the first room, leaving the man crawling.

However, no matter how fast he crawled, it was still nowhere as fast as his normal walking pace.

Shortly, the sounds of man-eating bags got nearer and nearer until when the bald looked back to the staircase, the insects were already there, inching closer and closer until they were already at the hallway.

He sobbed. And backed away to the corner, hugging his knees.

”Gnnnngggg aaannnnnhhgggg! Nnnnnggg!”

Yet the creatures have no mercy and only view him as their prey and food. Anyway, he reeked of blood and sins. It should be okay for them to eat him and erase him from the world, right?

And so a minute later, when the sobs and cries of pain stopped, and when the few layers of the armies of insects left the spot where he used to be, only bones and some non-chewable muscles remained, telling anybody who would perhaps pass by in the future that a life was lost there.

As for the insects and bugs, this was already the last floor the moving blank blanket would be able to gorge themselves at and so they didn't let a single minute be wasted away. They eagerly searched for new victims to feast upon.

Meanwhile, Sofony saw the man who came with her to this place panting and kneeling on one knee.

Her brows rose up a bit, but she immediately left as she didn't see the person she was looking for.

Finally, when the girl came into the biggest room in the underground dungeon, a man in black came into sight.

A second later, she saw a huge glass cage where the red-faced Wendy was seen slumping next to the wall, slowly and madly gasping for breath.
