Chapter 216: Raid dungeon (8)
Since we had to protect the supply group as they made their way forward, we had to spread ourselves quite thin to cover a larger area.
However, when facing these mummies and scarabs, that wasn't a problem at all.
As soon as these mummies came forward, I pasted a fire talisman on my sword and there was a faint layer of flames that appeared around it.
With a single slash, I cut the mummies in half.
The flame from my sword spread across the bandages of the mummy in an instant and they turned into a ball of flames.
This ball of flames fell backwards from the force of this slash and landed on the ground as a ball of flames.
I just ignored this and moved on to the next one.
With my flaming sword, I didn't even need to boost myself to take care of these mummies.
They were just too slow to match me after I had gone through Su Chen's muscle training.
As for the scarabs, they were even easier than I thought to take care of. They didn't use any strange flight patterns, so I was able to cut down the scarabs with ease.
It was so easy that I was able to split my attention to look at the others in my group.
I found that they too had it easy dealing with these mummies and scarabs. After all, we had fought much stronger enemies before, so there was no need to mention slow and weak enemies like these.
But this was also just the beginning of the dungeon, so I didn't let myself get complacent.
These were the weakest that the dungeon had to offer, so it wasn't as if this was all that we would face. From now on, it would only get harder for us.
Seeing that they were fine, I turned my attention to Kaito's group.
We hadn't worked together before, so I couldn't help feeling a bit worried about them.
But when I saw them fighting, I learned that my worry was unnecessary.
This was a group that was as talented as our group, so they wouldn't be weaker than us.
As I watched them, I finally learned why Kaito called himself the Black Flame Dragon.
It was simply because of his ability.
He had the ability to control black flames that he used to attack his enemies.
These black flames were deadly as they instantly burned all of his enemies to ashes.
Whether it was the mummies or the scarabs, they were all burnt to nothingness by Kaito's black flames.
The flames raged on, even seeming like the breath of a dragon.
It made sense that his moniker was Black Flame Dragon.
As for the rest of his group, they all showed incredible power. They all had no problems dealing with these mummies and scarabs.
It was almost too easy.
The supply team led by the central flank easily made their way through the path that was created for them and they were able to get right behind the vanguard.
Once they were through, there was no longer any reason for us to stay here.
So I pushed back the monsters in front of me and shouted, "Let's go! We're moving to the next point!"
Blaze and Kaito were the ones that took the lead in this.
They went to the front and back of the group and released their flames.
Blaze was in the front with a wall of flames pushing away the monsters that came at us and Kaito was in the back with a wall of flames pushing away the monsters that chased after us.
With the two of them working together, we were able to catch up.
The main group had left us behind after the supply team had gone through since we were the ones that protected the rear.
Once we caught up, we immediately took the place of the vanguard holding the path and they continued forward to clear out another path.
Once we secured the path, the supply team moved forward again.
Again and again, we moved forward just like this.
It wasn't hard, but it was definitely tiring having to keep fighting monsters like this.
It was just a good thing that the closer we came to the safe zone, the fewer monsters there were.
The less monsters there were, it was easier for us to hold that path and clear them out.
Otherwise we would have lost all of our energy eventually.
An hour later, we finally reached the first safe zone.
This was a rest area that was in the middle of the pyramid base. It wasn't right at the center, but it was close to that.
Since it only took us an hour to get here, it didn't seem like this raid dungeon was that big.
Once we arrived, it was time for us to rest and for the supply team to get to work.
They would set up the camp here and then we would use this camp to clear out the surrounding area. After clearing that out, we would make our way to the second safe zone and secure that to create another camp.
Clearing out this raid dungeon wasn't something that could be done in a day or two, it was something that would take at least a week if not more.
So we were here for the long haul.
I could see that our group was tired after that continuous fighting, so we went over to the tents that had been prepared for us.
I had to admit that the supply team really worked fast.
Inside of the tent was some food and some beds for us, so we could eat and rest up.
But there was a problem that we had to deal with first after arriving in the tent.
It was the sleeping arrangement.
Since this was a rough temporary tent, the beds were just laid out all over the floor and arranged in a circle.
That meant that we would have to sleep very close to each other.
This wouldn't be a problem if not for Claire and Long Shui Ling…
