Chapter 8 - Hydra arc - The throne king

I understood everything—me, Alan, Aon, and Kerion had been teleported into the same place. So I could assume they were teleported like that intentionally.

I told Alan about it.

"For now, we have to go for the main boss fight room, and we can just hope that they will reach there as well," Alan said.

Everyone agreed.

On the other hand, Leo was confused about what had just happened.

"I guess we got teleported into separate places," Ozwa said. "As bad Shadow used a teleportation ritual."

"How did you know that Shadow used a teleportation ritual?" Leo asked.

"Don't you see? He said 'teleportation ritual' before unleashing the ritual," Ozwa replied.

"Ohhh, I didn't notice that," Leo said. "Whatever. What should we do now?"

"I guess we should go for the dungeon boss, because Alan has told us if we somehow separate from each other, then we have to do that," EMA said in a light voice.

Leo didn't hear her properly.

He came toward her.

"Hey, what did you just say?" Leo asked in a high voice.

EMA became afraid and covered behind Ozwa's back.

"Hey, Leo, please talk in a low voice. EMA is not comfortable with a high voice," Ozwa said.

"I was just asking," Leo said.

Then Ozwa explained to him what EMA had said.

Leo agreed.

They started moving straight ahead.

The dungeon was full of light, and blood was dripping from the floor and walls everywhere.

It looked like someone had already come here and defeated all the monsters.

Leo became disappointed because he wanted to fight stronger opponents.

He grew irritated so much that his voice became very loud, and EMA became afraid and uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Leo asked Ozwa to fight him.

"What do you mean?" Ozwa asked.

"If I won't get any opponents, then you will be my opponent," Leo said.

"No, no, I won't fight here," Ozwa replied.

"Then I will fight with you until a monster appears," Leo said, running toward Ozwa with anger and his cleaver.

Ozwa started running away.

"What type of person is this?" Ozwa muttered while running. "I would prefer an enemy rather than this teammate who wants to kill his own teammates."

Leo chased Ozwa relentlessly.

"Hey, you come here, or I will kill you right here!" Leo shouted.

"EMA, do something, or this man's gonna kill me!"

EMA tried to speak, but she was too afraid.

Then suddenly, a monster appeared.

Leo became excited.

"Yeah!!! Now I'm gonna kill them all!" Leo shouted.

He ran toward the monster, but suddenly, the monster was killed by someone else.

It was humans.

They were unfamiliar to Ozwa, Leo, and EMA.

There were five of them.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you kill that monster?" Leo asked.

Ozwa and EMA approached Leo and asked the same question.

The group replied,

"We are coming here for the Hydra boss. But our teammates are trapped in a room of monsters. Could you please help us rescue them?"

Hearing that, Leo immediately agreed.

Ozwa and EMA also agreed.

Then that group, along with Ozwa, EMA, and Leo, went toward a room.

They entered the room.

Suddenly, the room closed behind them.

They were confused about what to do.

Ozwa noticed a big, giant statue sitting on a throne. Around the room were many knight and soldier statues.

Seeing the statues, Ozwa became slightly uncomfortable.

The group tried to find their teammates, but they found no one except themselves.

Suddenly, five bodies dropped into the room.

The group saw them and became afraid.

These were the death bodies of their teammates.

One of them was the strongest among them.

The five-person team started to panic, crying out in fear, and begged Ozwa, Leo, and EMA to save them.

Ozwa was confused about what to do.

Then, suddenly, the statue knights started to move. Some held axes, some held swords.

The battle began.

Leo attacked the knights with his wolf cleaver, swinging straight and killing one statue in half.

Other knights attacked.

This time, Ozwa also attacked with his fireball ritual. EMA joined the battle as well.

The five-person team joined in. Now everyone was attacking the knights.

Leo cut every knight he faced in half. Ozwa burned every knight he faced. EMA froze some knights and destroyed them with her water ball ritual. The five-person team also helped.

After some time, they had successfully killed all the knights.

"I guess we killed everyone," Ozwa said.

"Now we are safe," the five-person team said.

"I want to fight more," Leo said.

"Wait, if we killed everyone, why doesn't the gate open?" EMA questioned.

Then suddenly, a powerful, mysterious aura began flowing in the room.

The throne statue started to smile in a creepy way.

He stood up.

His aura was powerful and dominating. Everyone experienced fear of death.

EMA and Ozwa froze, standing silently, looking at the figure.

"The Throne King," they whispered.

Leo ran toward the king.

"No, Leo, don't go there!" Ozwa screamed.

But it was too late.

The king's eyes glowed.

He unleashed a powerful laser beam from his eyes.

It hit Leo.

Leo was pushed into the wall so fast and hard that his chest and stomach were extremely damaged. He bled heavily.

Blood surrounded him.

Suddenly, the king attacked the five-person team.

He killed one member in half.

He held another person and scrambled him.

Another group member attacked, but the king used his laser and destroyed his head.

Another member tried to escape through the door, but the king destroyed his entire upper body with the laser.

One member was left.

He bowed his head, begging for his life.

The king held him and ate his underbody completely, in a brutal display.

Ozwa and EMA were frozen in fear and shock.

Seeing that chaos, blood, and the king's overwhelming presence, they could do nothing.

The king looked at them and smiled.
