Chapter 130 - 127 : This Is Not Mercy (1/2)

The news of Lucy's team clearing the first floor was soon made public. All kinds of journalists and important figures such as CEO's of popular companies or famous individuals wanted an audience with Lady Sinyu, who is the leader of the team.

The mansion gates were almost broken as countless people wanted to enter and possibly take some pictures of this famous team. It is said that the team was only C-class yet they managed to achieve the impossible for a team like that, after all, it was only a C-class team.

A team of this caliber should only roam in the 5 or 6th floor, not clear one out of the blue. Nevertheless, this incident attracted a lot of attention, whether from the public or the IHO itself.

Many journalists wanted to sneak in but Lady Sinyu dispatched an A-class guard who also was the head of the guards to detain and block the journalists as they were too stubborn and troublesome to deal with.

For two whole days, the gates were filled with journalists, even late at night so Lady Sinyu could not rest properly. Not that she was angry, in fact, she was pleased but curious and a bit confused.

It's to be expected, after all, no one but her knew her team's capabilities and by no means are they capable of doing that, the only reason is... the two new recruits.

On the third day, when the news was still spreading, another bomb fell in and the same team cleared the 12th floor. This caused an uproar, some calling it a fraud and blaming the team for lack of evidence and some were jealous.

The S-class teams did not admit the achievement of team's achievement and were rather arrogant, calling the team 'a bunch of liars' or 'pretending newbies'.

When they were clearing the 12th floor, something unexpected did occur. Two people followed the team inside the dungeon, the first one was Lady Sinyu's S-class guard, who was a bit more sneaky and hard to detect. The second was the same guy that was following Lucy the other day. His skills were not bad and if it was a Lv20 or Lv30 person, it would have been hard to sense his presence but it's his bad day to be following the wrong person.

On the 4th floor, the second invisible person was met with a flaming beast who appeared out of nowhere, he was dumbfounded and confused on how he was detected by when he saw the beast's level being '???' he knew he should run.

Unfortunately for him, the beast was not so merciful and it ended up with him being ripped to shreds. The man screamed for help but no teams were around and if there were some, none would be brave enough to face such a horrifying monster.

As for the last man, when they were about to enter the 12th floor, Lucy turned around, facing his direction and coldly said

”Isn't it time you show yourself? It's basic courtesy after all.”

Despite hearing that, the man remained silent and immobile, he didn't know if he was sensed due to a mistake he made or the woman just randomly said that to check if there is anyone around and IT happened to be his direction she turned to.

Saku, Alin, and the dared Guan Gi were puzzled about Lucy's behavior, Saku even thought that Lucy was feeling a bit tired and probably hallucinating.

From the first floor until here, no monster appeared in the vicinity which was rather surprising. Usually, swarms of lizards or gnomes would be patrolling or randomly going around but this time, there was not even the sound of a monster.

Even the guard was confused and didn't think much of it at first but then, it got consistent and it seemed as if they were taking a stroll and not in a dangerous dungeon, he took note of that and kept following. Lady Sinyu instructed him to keep a close eye on Delia and Lucy but didn't seem them fight for even a second.

The truth is that Lucy got rid of them before they managed to show themselves, with her fire, she burned every last one of them and only black ashes blown by the wind remained. She did it because she didn't want to expose any of her abilities yet, she could use simple Earth Magic but she refrained and used this simple method instead.

Hearing no response and no reaction, Lucy lifted her hand and instantly, the ground, ceiling and even the air itself froze from her feet all the way to where the guard was.

Being an S-class guard, his reaction was pretty quick as he tried to jump away from this 'Absolute Zero' but his body didn't bulge when he commanded it to. The reality was harsh and life was cruel, by the time he looked down, his left all the way to his stomach was frozen by ice. He could feel the chilling coldness, his body shivered on its own and his senses became a bit dull due to the very cold atmosphere.

The floor transformed into a beautiful crystalline ground and small snow particles fell slowly on the ground, it was a breathtaking sight ruined by the man in the center who was trying to move around but it was futile.

Delia put her hands on her waist and stared at him with an annoyed look then said

”Are you deaf? I'm not as kind as her, you better talk or I'll not be kind anymore.”
