Chapter 55 - We Are Fucking Dead (1/2)
Ten minutes later...
*Huff* *Huff*
With huffing sounds coming out of Eddie's nostrils, he swung the iron sword at the last skeleton soldier's neck.
*Crunch*
*Clatter*
Then the pieces of bones fell to the ground with a clattering sound, signifying the end of the third horde of monsters at the right passageway.
There were no congratulating notifications from the system, rewards, or whatsoever.
The things Earthlings received were SP and their survival...
”Finally...”
”Ahh, my arm is so sore.”
”Miss nurse, please take a look at my wound...”
”We won!!”
”Hooray...”
”We did it...”
And the last two things Earthlings received were new friendships and 'new hopes'...
A single human might be weak indeed, but when together, they were powerful, no doubt.
As they finally saw the fruitful results from their unification.
Feeling glad, they were...
After the fight, Mitchell finally called out to every combatant situating at the right passageway,
”Alright, guys. Listen to me, please.”
”...”
”...”
Soon the cheering and complaining sounds died down...
”As we have just won another tough war, but it hasn't really ended yet. The people over there are still fighting. Thus, those of you, who can still hold a weapon and fight, follow after me.”
Upon finishing his short speech, Mitchell and Eddie were the first ones to rush out.
Followed closely by more than ten people, they were ready for another fight...
Not long after, they reached behind those still-fighting people.
Currently, those ten people had been fighting with the leftover skeleton soldiers from Jeremy.
Well, the amount of those monsters were very few, with no more than a dozen skeleton soldiers and two imps. However, the fight was prolonged by some cowardly people such as Greedy Pig, Bad Mouther, and two aunties, namely Claire and Aylin.
That meant only six people really fought with the outlanders; those six were Bob, Joshua, Skylar, Thomas, Lucas, and William. They had to struggle a lot to fend off the monsters, while another four cowards only fought passively and timidly.
Suddenly...
”We've come to help.”
”Take this, ugly skeleton!”
”Dieee...”
The reinforcements finally came to the rescue...
...
After a few minutes, every outlander within the chamber was finally dead...
When everyone saw no more monsters, they started cheering aloud in gratification for real.
This time no one would interrupt their cheers and shouts, so they did the deeds to their hearts' content.
”Hooray...”
”It ends for real, right?”
”Hahaha, that was easy.”
”No one is dead...”
”Cheers!!”
”Woahhh!!”
The cheering and shouting sounds echoed out within the spacious chamber for some minutes...
As more than 30 people were shouting and jumping here and there, the situations were quite chaotic.
After everyone settled down, Mitchell started arranging people to clear the monster corpses littering on the ground.
They gathered all those corpses at a corner near the easy-difficulty door. At that corner, both outlander and Earthling corpses were stacking up on one another like an earthen mound.
Right after giving out the order to clear out the corpses, Mitchell suddenly looked around as if to find someone.
Indeed, he was looking for a certain someone, which was currently nowhere to be seen.
With a confusing look plastered on his face, Mitchell walked towards Joshua, whom was gathering bones up from the ground.
”Joshua...” Asked Mitchell towards the crouching Joshua.
When Joshua had heard the sudden call from someone, he raised his head up in curiosity,
”Oh, yeah? What's the matter, Mitchell?”
”Do you know where he is?” Asked Mitchell.
After hearing Mitchell's question, Joshua got confused,
”He? Who are you talking about?”
Seeing his companion's confusion, Mitchell clarified while looking around one more time to find Jeremy,
”I mean, Mister Jeremy. Do you see him? Cuz I don't see him anywhere.”
Upon hearing the question asking about Jeremy's whereabouts, Joshua blinked his eyes a few times.
Then he frowned and thought back to the fight scene earlier...
...
Flashback...
”Some of them are coming this way. Be prepared!” Shouted the middle-aged man, Lucas, who was holding a long iron spear.
