201 Fiends and Shadow Ghosts (1/2)

”I don't think so”

Knight shook his head and walked towards Don to grab the shield from him.

While Don was holding the shield, Knight opened his jaws and tried to grab the shield using his mouth.

However the moment Don let go of the shield, the shield fell on the ground with Knight's lower jaw under it.

”Oooh, hek...it...aack”

Knight struggled with the shield and put his full strength to free himself from the shield.

”See, I told you”

He lifted his shield up as Knight quickly stood up and stepped back from the shield.

”Let's see what's my shield does”

Arrora took her shield and threw it at Knight to see if he could lift it up.

After getting his jaw pinned down by Don's shield, Knight did not underestimate Arrora's shield. The tigress and Arrora leaned forward towards Knight and watched him.

Arrora's shield was indeed a bit heavy but unlike Don's, Knight simply lifted the shield up and threw it at the tigress.

Seeing the shield flying towards her, the tigress jumped in the air and caught it in her mouth and landed on the ground comfortably.

”Sorry, girl, its seems anyone can use your shield”

The tigress threw the shield at the three cubs and the three cubs held the shield with their small heads as they ran around the place with the shield on their heads.

”But that doesn't make the shield any inferior to mine”

Don calmly said and Arrora nodded at him with a smile.

”So now we have taken care of that, what's our next plan? And before that, we need to know what's the next level of this dungeon?”

Knight asked Don and turned his gaze towards the tigress because she knew much more than them.

”We have two more levels, and the next level is the most dangerous of them all, according to my uncle, only a handful would survive in at the end of it”

Until now many of them lost their lives in the hands of the golems that Knight and Don brought down on them. While a bunch of them lost their lives in the arena but seeing the tigress's gloomy look on her face, the next level would not be as easy as the others for them.

”So if you want these little buggers to stay in the ring, feel free to tell us”

The tigress looked at the three cubs who were playing in Arrora's hand for a moment and shook her head.

”I think it's better if they stayed in their caves, the next level is not a place for cubs like them”

The moment the cubs heard her, they stopped playing with Arrora and growled at her like they were not happy with her decision.

”No, I don't want you three to come with us, it's too dangerous and you three are just cubs”

The tigress stared at them and said with a firm voice but the cubs didn't seem to back away from their decision to go with them.

”ROAR”

However unexpectedly, the cubs didn't fear her as the three of them roared at her even though it sounded more like meowing to Knight.

”You three are staying here, I let you take part in the arena because you needed some real battle experience, but the next level will be too much for you ”

Still, the three tiger cubs shook their heads.

”Excuse us for a moment”

The tigress said and suddenly grabbed the three cubs by their neck and walked away from the campfire. The three cubs tried to free themselves from her mouth but the tigress's clutch was too strong for the cubs to break.

Arrora waited until the tigress and the cubs to reach behind the trees and then she turned her gaze towards Don and Knight.

”So are you going to pretend like nothing happened?”

Knight and Don sighed and looked at each other.

”I put the hot red nails through your chest for god sake, you at least owe me an explanation why did you make me do that”

”Sometimes it happens, in the divine continent, healers called this as cerebral episodes”

Hearing Knight, Arrora was afraid thinking that it might be something incurable like some deadly diseases.

”We don't know when it will happen, but every time it happens, we need to stab him with the nails to break him from the episodes, only extreme pain like this could bring him back from the episodes”

”It can be cured right?”

She was freaking out as Don shook his head

”I don't think there's one”

”How many times?”

Arrora stuttered and looked at the both of them

”Too many times”

Knight said.

”Don't tell anyone about this, it must stay between the three of us”

”But they might be able to help you”

”NO”
