Chapter 39: The Secret Dungeon Part 3
Suddenly, in a radius of 10*10 meters, everything moved slower than usual by 4 times. Although my skill had a minimal effect over that huge monster, it managed to buy us one second.
Shin and Grendy were about to enter the tunnel, but at the same time, those sky pillars were about to hit all of us. I raised my spear and jumped without hesitation yelling:
"Dragon head skill."
Suddenly, my spear tip had enlarged to form a big dragon head. In comparison to these huge arms, my dragon head looked like a baby, but I needed this precious baby of mine as it could stop all of them. I pierced with my spear into the incoming arms to hit one of them rapidly.
My spear didn't manage to cause any scratch to this huge monster, but this hit was enough for me. The collision between the two of us caused my body to move with the utmost speed backward.
The great difference between my and this monster's strengths was clear, but I had another card up my sleeve the absolute defense. This strike didn't cause me to lose even one point of HP.
On the other hand, that collision made my body enter the tunnel rapidly as I tried to balance myself more than once until my body lost its momentum and stopped finally. I crossed over 500 meters with this strike. My breaths were accelerating faster than my heartbeats, as my whole body was drenched in sweat. Everyone else was looking towards me with stupefied looks.
'What are you standing here for? Run.'
I moved rapidly backward while ordering them in the chat. As their leader, I was the calmest, as my main job was to lead them in moments of life and death like these. I moved rapidly while my eyes kept tracking them.
They had already moved with their highest speed away from the end of this deadly tunnel, but that monster didn't give up that easily. I could hear the roars of that monster, accompanied by the frequent vibration of the tunnel. It seemed that the monster was trying to collapse the tunnel over our heads. This was a crazy monster, what the hell made us meet it?
'Watch out, that monster had released many smaller forms of it to attack us here.'
Grendy's words appeared suddenly in the chat. I looked far beyond Grendy, as he was currently the last one in the team. I found many unclear silhouettes coming from far in the dark tunnel.'Grendy, try to keep up. Shin and Goda try to stay near him, if these monsters reach him, start to act to delay them for a bit.'Shin replied at once:
'Ok, but anyone here has a long-range scout skill? We need to know more info about these new monsters.'
'I have a skill, but these monsters didn't come into the range of it, yet. Once I get any info, I will share it here.'
Snad, the archer, replied at once. We were moving back to the original place where we appeared first in this crazy dungeon. The good news was that our speed was higher than the speed of these monsters, except for Grendy. Tanks seemed to me very slowly, but his speed was enough to keep him away from harm.
'Snad, can you move to Grendy's location and scout those monsters?'
I ordered Snad to move. Snad's speed was higher than mine, so he could go there and retreat safely. What I hated most was to face unknown enemies, especially when we were running with our lives like this. Snad glanced silently at me. Then he, reluctantly, moved back to Grendy's place.
'I can't scout them from here; I will decrease my speed for a bit. Cover me please.'
'Heda, be ready.'
Heda was our only long-range attacker beside Snad, who decreased his speed a little. After a few moments, he accelerated again as he sent in the chat:
'Cragen Special Elite monster.LVL10 Special Elite monster. Unique class monster. HP: 30k/30k'
The data he sent caused all of us to have gloomy faces.
'What the hell is this monster? How can just level 10 monsters have such thick HP?'
Mony, the healer, was the first to speak with great shock in the chat. Shin started to explain:'That monster isn't like any normal monster; it's a unique class monster. That explains its high HP.'I didn't get exactly his meaning, as I doubt any of us did. I asked in the chat:
'How many monsters did you manage to count back there?'
I directed my question to Snad, who replied:
'I counted over 100; they were stretched over the tunnel.'
'This much!!'
Heda exclaimed in surprise, while Shin added:
'I didn't see all that number before, are you sure? The tunnel is dark and you might miscount them.'
Snad confirmed his previous claims as he said:
'I didn't count them by my eyes; I used my skill to do so. That's why I'm sure about their high number. And I'm sure there are more than that behind my skill range.'
Snad words had raised everyone's depression, so I started to act as a leader again as I instructed:
'Snad, your job is to keep tracking all these monsters. Heda, I want you to use your long-range skills and try to hinder these monsters' movements. We need to buy Grendy sometime every once in a while. Mony, keep an eye over Snad for me, I don't exclude the presence of long-range monsters between them.'
