44 Chapter 44 ~ The Silent Predator of the Dungeon (1/2)

[ ...! ]

The ground shook and the spikes hanging on top of the ceiling fell after another - making large and loud impacts as they crash to the ground.

Not a second later, smokes of dust hid everything that can be seen and fills the room, making the group anxious as the enemy they're anticipating to come is now hidden.

[ Nina! ]

[ Hai! ]

With Sarah's signal, Nina used one of her magic.

[ Wind Shield! ]

An invisible yet solid wind was unleashed from Nina. It throws and blows away the clouds of dust that surrounds them, giving them the chance to regain the view of the entire room that was just taken away from them.

One of Nina's support magic - Wind Shield.

Its original purpose was to shield herself and her allies. But with Vlad's creative thinking of how one can use magic in many ways, he was able to teach Nina some other use for it.

[ Prepare yourselves! ]

Again, Sarah gave the command as the quake that was shaking the ground disappeared and silence took over.

They guarded each other's backs to have eyes on all corners of the room. And as what she told them to do, she also prepared herself and gripped and the long sword she's equipped with.

[ ... ]

A cold sweat ran through her cheeks as she waited for the enemy to show itself.

( This enemy is clearly on a different level than the enemies we fought before...! )

Experiencing the intensity of the presence of the yet, unseen enemy, Sarah had reached this conclusion.

[ ... ]

Silence...

A minute had passed yet there was still no sign of an enemy coming. It was not just Sarah who was thinking there's something wrong; everyone in the group was not letting their guard down for a single moment - their eyes were all focused and their muscles are all tense.

[ Lumi! ]

[ I... It's still here... It's waiting for the chance to attack...! ] Lumi replied with fear written in her eyes.

Her instinct and very body are telling her to immediately run. But as she looks at her allies that are currently experiencing the same fear as she is, she was able to resist doing so.

[ Tsk! Don't break formation! ]

[ Sarah-san... It's here... It's close... I can smell it... I can feel its presence... ] again, Lumi trembles as she warns them.

Lumi felt on her skin that the enemy was just a swing of a sword close to them. It felt as if death is standing close to them.

*Hiss...

[ ...! ]

Sarah, Caiden, Nina, and Lumi were all focused on each corner of the room, particularly, in both the entrance and exit.

They did not expect in the least...

[ Above! ]

[ Shield! ]

Nina cast her strongest shield spell above them. A green and transparent, orb-like shield caved them and protected them from the large fangs that attacked them from above.

*BAM!!! Tch...

A total of six fangs longer and sharper than swords bit the shield that was cast. And only a second and it was able to penetrate it like a needle, and after that, it didn't take long for the shield to crack by itself.

[ Everyone! ]

There was no need to say it. Everyone already knows what they need to do.

*Crack...

...

*Crack...!
