Chapter 260: Investigating the dungeon. (2/2)

“Wasn’t it Katerina last week?”

“Hah, you're a woman, you wouldn’t understand”

Lobelia’s brows furrohile Ared

“I don’t even want to know, let's just get this over with…”

The others nodded and soon enough they were on the tenth level Luckily for them, the boss chamber was already open and they didn’t need to waste h it they arrived at the s hot lava area that would usually h tiain heat resistance skills that alleviated the stuffy environ seems to be out of place here at least”

While theout of the boss room Lobelia used her enhanced senses to look into the distance There she could spot the usual sala out of the lava puddles as per usual A couple of other adventurers were also here and they were engaging thosewrong?”

“I’m not sure… but aren’t there usually more monsters in this area?”

Jas around Usually, at this tied to respawn It was soh on a daily basis Adventurers would arrive in the e portion of the beasts Their count would go down and only when they returned back in thewould their numbers be restored

“Could the zone boss be a salamander type? It could be able to summon the other ht need ue in annoyance after h to handle an upper tier 2 monster but that was only if it was by itself Soeon creatures as their minions They were sort of commander types that the other monsters needed to listen to

“It could be troublesoence but isn't the area it occupies strange? Wouldn’t a salamander type be more suited for the lake?”

“Hey what are you two doing, we are going to leave you two behind”

Before Lobelia could reply to Jasmine's question she was hollered over by Ar towards their destination The trip toward their destination wouldn’t be that easy and they ht There were several save spots for that occasion and Korgak was stuck lugging a large backpack with a tent inside

Their trip continued and while the men weren’t too concerned about the diminished nuot to their destination the fewer of theroups of adventurers were nowhere to be seen

“I don’t like this, it’s too quiet…”

“It is, isn’t it?”

Arainst a rocky wall, they were at the entrance of the undergroundthis location and needed to get through it

“So you’ve finally realized it?”

“Do you think I’?”

“Was that a rhetorical question?”

Lobelia watched as a large vein formed on Arue At least in situations like this, he knehen to shut up and get it together Wedamir, ould be the tank in any RPG adventurer party, ether the backline to protect the vulnerable archers in the middle Armand remained a bit in the front but soroup

While not h this path it wasn’t supposed to be this e or worm-type monsters crawled out from the mountain or the chasm to attack people The parts from these could be used for potions and tinctures so there was a reason to go through here besides evading the lava lake for large parties

They slowlywith Jas and detection skills but to no avail

“This is really strange…”

“What is?”

The party stopped while Armand asked Jasmine a question after she spoke up

“I can’t feel any monsters… it’s as if they are all dead”

“Is that a bad thing? That’s one less problem for us”

“I don’t know, normally I should be able to feel the presence of far awaywith the at all…”

Lobelia nodded as she also wasn’t picking up anything with her skills While she wasn’t as good of a tracker as Jasmine here she didn’t fall thatthe disappearance of monsters Either they were moved somewhere or someone killed them and they weren’t able to respawn

“If it’s a zone boss that can attract othera large chunk of theeon but if it's not on this side then …”

The adventurers nodded at each other and picked up their pace With thefrom this area there was only one explanation Theyand if they weren’t at the side they entered through then they had to have ht them to the other side of the lava lake and that’s where they were suspecting the boss would be

Yet even when they were rushi+ng they still res Each of theone through situations where things backfired on theht there was always a chance of an a there… watch out”

“Aye!”

Jas washed over her when they passed through an unsuspecting part of this pathway Thanks to her experience she knew that this feeling was always followed by so turned out to be a spear tip rushi+ng through the rock wall

Luckily Wedah to bounce it back with the help of his heavy shi+eld This wasn’t all as the blade of his halberdonto the spear To everyone's surprise, it belonged to a creature that they had not expected to see here

“Watch out, that’s not a Fiery Skeleton!”

At first glance, it looked to be similar to the skeletal monsters on the upper levels but the way itfrom its eye sockets also covered its hands to enhance the power of its weapon The unexpected blazing skeleton wasn’t their only probleer issue was that it was not the only one here

“How are they coh the walls?”

The party of five quickly found itself surrounded by a swarh level analyzing skills but both Jasmine and Elodia had threat detection skills Both of them knew that each one of these was a lower level tier 2 monster

“It ht be the reason why I wasn’t able to detect their presence…”

Jas of her bow The quickly notched arrow made its way towards one of the skeletal eneh it was able to explode its head in one hit, the fallen monster was quickly replaced by another

“shi+t, they got us…”

Ar for battle They were clearly outnumbered and the limited space they could move in was detriroup of five gave out a battle shout and the battle for survival began
