Chapter 377 - 377: Battle inside the forest dungeon part 1 (1/2)
[Forest Dungeon]
[True Beastman Group, Dark Lion Simba point of view]
The Avery, the heroes, and the Fairy Queen, Titania, they're late, and they aren't signs of them showing up any sooner
The people of Kiserre shouldn't be here any time soon, and even if they were, mobilising an army and group of adventures to fight against us, when they themselves are having an internal religious conflict will be suicidal. On one hand, they wanted to help this people captured by us as soon as possible (that's if they even notice something amiss), but on another hand, should they leave the country, a single spark of religious conflict (which is almost always there, every single day), can turn into a catastrophic devastation.
”Please release us”
”Please, at least let my pregnant wife go there. She's about to deliver a baby soon”
”SHUT UP! Ice magic: Ice spear!”
”DON'T!”
”KYAAAH!”
”DEAR! DEAR!”
”HAHAHAHA, such wonderful husband, shielding his wonderful and lovely wife. I wonder should I...”
”THAT'S ENOUGH!” [Simba]
”But boss!”
”Then we will run out of valuable hostages” [Simba]
”Right... I'm sorry”
This new group, getting hypnotize by us from the meddling third party through a special stone, almost akin to the portal stone used by Agnes and the other. Unlike the portal stone that leave one senseless and devoid of any thinking in term of pure raw strength and magic, this one heightened almost every aspect of one parameter (though the strength and magical power aren't increase as much as the one Agnes used), however, it also leave them almost in a state of hyperexcitability and constant state of euphoria, as well as craving more for the stone.
”30 minutes passed”
”Time for another round of guess who's gonna die!”
One of my man, with voice brimming with ecstatic, scream, and of course the response will be as usual
”No!”
”Please don't!
”Then beg for the Avery to help you!”
”And scream at the top of your lung, for the ten heroes to come!”
”Fairy Queen Titania as well! We wanted to meet them and stole all their power!”
”But they aren't here!”
”SHUT UP! DO YOU THINK WE ARE WRONG”
And that young teenage boy get beaten one by one, until he's in a limping state, and to finish him off, a poisonous arrow is fired onto him, but
~Clang~
An arrow from somewhere save him
”Now! Light magic: Flash bang” [Elf teenager]
”Neutral magic: Explosion arrow” [Cat beastman adventure]
”Earth magic: Ground shift” [Dwarf trader]
”Can you run!? Even if you can't, do so!” [Black hair human girl]
They are... Who? It looks like they aren't the one we were looking for, however, for a group of civilian, they have a good sense of battle, as well as quite a good judgement. They coordinate with the fairies inside this forest dungeon effortlessly, almost like the fairies knew who they were. Plus, while they're obviously weaker, their magical knowledge is superior than the one we recruited through hypnotism
”Chase them!”
”RIGHT!”
”Don't be careless...” [Simba]
”No problems! Kyaaaa....”
