Chapter 302 - Devilfish Stomach Labyrinth (III) (2/2)

”So what is our next agenda, Master?” Lucia asked.

”Let's check out those things that he marked on his own map. Our first priority would be killing the Ice Devilfish from the inside then, we can escape after that.”

”How are we going to escape? I doubt after killing this monstrous monster, we can escape by making our way out?” Tina asked.

I pull one scroll out of my inventory and show it to Tina.

”A teleport scroll?”

”I had set up one teleport point before we entered the cave. This scroll is not the normal Teleport Scroll, this is the Force Teleport Scrolls and can only be used on areas where Teleporting is not possible. In case the normal Teleport scrolls don't work, this will allow us to properly escape without trying to tread our way out from the body.”

After explaining, I took back the scroll and opened the map that was made by the deceased guy. I didn't forget my own map since we don't know how long it has been since the map was created. There might be some inaccuracies here and there so it's a good thing to have a new map than rely on the old one.

”Let's check this red circle he put on the far end not too far from us.”

Everyone nodded and we left the snow-covered area and we went straight to the red part of the map. I didn't forget to continue creating the new map too. As we further explore the way, the hallways that look like a hallway from ruins started to look more fleshy and the liquid that we are stepping in is already red. It was bloody red and although it didn't smell like blood, it was a scarlet red crap.

”Looks like the map is indeed right to color it red. This place seems to be an inner area of the Ice Devilfish.”

Not only that, but for some reason, we can hear a pounding sound echoing in the surroundings. It was near but it felt far too and it is pretty confusing if you don't have any navigation tools. We decided to follow the map and continue to venture into the area. The more we venture, the lesser the walls look like bricks but more like flesh now. There is also the distinct smell of seawater and a bit of fleshy smell that I can't properly describe. The reverberating sound is also getting stronger too.

”Ah...”

The three of us were stunned seeing the thing before us when we arrived where the map labeled it with a big red circle. It doesn't look like a heart but it looks similar to a beating flesh. The pounding noise we keep on hearing is also coming from this thing. I inspected it and even though it wasn't looking like a heart, I was wrong with that assumption.

[Corrupted Ice Devil Heart]

HP: ????/?????

Type: Foreign Being

”It's another foreign being...” I muttered to myself.

We didn't approach it carelessly seeing how big it was. It isn't just a big lump of flesh, and although it was smaller compared to the lump of flesh I defeated back in the underground laboratory, it isn't small enough to just disregard it as a small lump of flesh.

”Guys, prepare. We will go altogether in my signal.”

It's time to continue the battle.
