"What are we going to do now, eh red eyes slave?" Lady Slave was shifting uncomfortably on the back of the dragon construct, trying her best not to shiver.That strange creature that red eyes slave summoned was sitting behind her and it was making all the hair on her body to stand. It wasn't an u death and yet it was behaving like one! She had never seen anything like that before.Not to talk of the power of the creature. It had killed three third circle Magus as if it was nothing.Maybe...maybe she shouldn't have involved herself with him at all but now they are both In it together and she had to try her best to keep herself alive.Red eyes slave turned to her, his red eyes making her uncomfortable as he stared at her. "What do you think? You are familiar with all of this. So speak!"Lady Slave took a deep breath. "Well...it'll be senseless to keep flying over the city. They will easily track us this way and it will be the fifth circle Magus that will come after us."They will also m

They flew for a while before they dipped down towards the deserted part of city.The next part of the journey would be completely by foot and thus they began to walk southward, fortunately with the war ongoing, they didn't meet any patrols and most people moving around were shifty eyes like them.Because it would soon be day, they decided to run the rest of the way to make sure they entered the mountains before day and the search for them becoming intense.And that was what they did.The distance between the city and the mountains was covered by heavy patch of forest and they used that for their cover and with that, they managed to enter into the cool embrace of the mountains as the sun appeared.Quinn breath a sigh of relief.At least now, they aren't in the open like they were before, but they didn't rest as they traverse the rocky ground eastward. They walk over large mountains, climbing the trails that was nothing more than a little smooth part of the mountain."We are going to re

The guides are more polite than the gang. Than the Gloomspire gang. They even offered them tea and cake, but Lady Slave humbly declined. "So you want a guide not only for hunting in Gloomspire but to cross the mountains into Umbracrypt City? You should know that with the war, there's a high shortage of guides, and that means our prices have gone up. "If you want a quality guide, it's going to cost you a lot. A real lot." From the manager's tone, Quinn could deduce what the man meant. Simply put, Lady Slave and Red Eyes Slave did not look like people that could afford a high-quality guide. Although they wore quality clothes, they themselves looked as if they had been dragged through the mud half their lives, and the manager had seen enough hunters to smell fakes from miles away. Most times, hunters formed into large groups to hunt monsters. That was one of the sure ways to guarantee that everyone at least had a chance at survival. But sometimes, real deals appeared that hunted alo

Raaj soon came back, and he was even paler than before as he stared at them with wide eyes. He told them what he found out. Everything was because of a large hunting team, the Mistwalker. They were the ones that wanted to hunt the Longleg Spiders in a very large capacity, and they needed bait to know the recent strength of the nest. And as it turned out, Quinn and Lady Slave had walked in like goats stretching out their necks for slaughter. The gang had promptly set them up. Quinn was annoyed. It seemed as if people were always trying to kill him everywhere he went, and it was getting tiring, but this time he really could not blame them, because they genuinely thought he was weak. "One thing I still don't understand is what the deal with the Longleg Spiders is. Are they that valuable?" Quinn asked. "Yes. Their venom is precious. It is used in the making of hundreds of poison and healing potions. Also, the venom that can be extracted from each spider is no more than three drops. Th

Raaj couldn't close his mouth as he watched the blind guy drag someone that was dressed entirely in black towards them. Obviously, he was a type of combat Magus himself, but he was weak. Even then, he didn't see him move at all. Raaj swallowed as a theory formed in his mind. ...the blind guy must have a powerful enchanted object or artifact!... "Well? Do you know him?" Lady Slave removed the cloth covering the man's face, showing them what he looked like. Raaj studied the average face and frowned a little. "This is a scout from the Mistwalker group. He's a second circle Magus and his scouting powers are impressive. You... we are going to get into trouble for killing him." Lady Slave looked at Red Eyes Slave and he shrugged. "They already target us. If we leave the nest alive, they are going to come after us anyway. Either way, we are still going to clash with the Mistwalker." Lady Slave groaned and her eyes darkened. "Right. Might as well start. I'm getting tired of this pl

Raaj led them back. The return journey was much faster than when they were going deeper into the maze. They didn't run, but Raaj increased his speed so much it looked like jogging, even more so when they heard a loud screeching sound far in the distance behind them. "Why did the Mistwalker cause such commotion?" Quinn was confused about the reason why they would do such a thing in the first place, as it didn't seem like the most sensible thing to do at all. "Most likely to see the level of strength the Longleg Spiders are since the bait failed. I said it earlier. There are other monsters in the maze, and sometimes they fight the spiders. "The amount the Mother Queen sent would be used to determine their current strength and how far the team should go." Quinn sighed. He just wanted to hunt his monsters and get the hell out of the territory. Why did people always try to get in his way? He knew he had already decided that he wouldn't fight them, but he was dangerously close to changi

"Get ready!" Mayan shouted.Now that he was staring intently, he could see that the thing blasting toward them was humanoid, too much so even, and it perplexed him a great deal.And that speed! It was closing in too fast for his liking, and the only reason he was still calm was because he was sure his shield would hold. That shield was one of his greatest joys, as he had spent a hefty sum to create it, and it could even hold a number of his own attacks.With that thought in mind, Mayan raised his hands, and green light condensed around them, solidifying into a bow and an arrow. "Let's see what type of monster you are. Must be the one that killed my scout and dragged the body here."He put the arrow to the bow and pulled, stretching it past his ears as it began to emit a low groan of vibration. The arrow glowed from soft green to almost blinding.He grinned. "Now we wait. Once the monster bounces off the shield."But surprisingly, as the monster got within thirty feet, it dramatically

Quinn was happy. Very much happy! And it was because of a simple yet strange fact. In the past few months since he entered the Great Dungeon, a lot of people had tried to kill him, and although he had killed them back—most of them anyway—this was the first time he would be striking back immediately after someone plotted against him in the Great Dungeon.Quinn had missed his own pettiness, so he smiled happily at the leader of the Mistwalkers. "Three third circle Magus. Might be tricky, but you lot don't have the power of the head supervisor.""What nonsense are you speaking?" The leader with the bow growled, his eyes dark green like his arrows. "Surrender yourself, and we might forgive you for pointing a weapon at us."Quinn looked at him with amusement. "Is that so? You'll forgive me? But why should I surrender? I can smell the fear in you. This is far from what you expected for your hunter team. It seems you have grown comfortable and lost what it means to fight."The leader stiffen

Leader Mayan grinned. "You fool! How dare you get close to me? Aren't you underestimating me too much?"With the umbrella still covering him, the leader pulled his arrow and used another of his power spells. A large projection of the arrow appeared around him, brimming with power, and he released it without hesitation.With the distance, how could Quinn hope to avoid it? Even his umbrella couldn't block all of the attack!But things didn't go as the leader expected.Because when Quinn landed in front of them, he had already shifted his attention and leaped away—not at the leader, but at the Magus with the poisonous acid!That was his target all along!A lot of things happened at the same time, some much faster than the others. Quinn was already out of reach by the time the arrow was released and was in front of the surprised Magus.The arrow slammed into the umbrella with a cracking sound, the large projection hitting like a mountain and managing to push a hole through.At the same ti

"Come here. Let's see what we can do to the rest of the Mistwalkers," Quinn said and gestured hurriedly at the dragon construct.The construct rumbled as it came over, and it did not come out of the fight completely unscathed. Some of its stones were chipped and some enchantments had worn out.Thankfully, Quinn just had to add more energy crystals to the core of the construct, energy crystals that he had taken a lot of and kept inside his ring.The two entered the nest and found a battle going on. The Mistwalkers were walled off by their shield of yellow light and a woman outside was throwing bolts of red, destructive magical energy at them while she dodged the attacks from the Mistwalkers.Lady Slave had already engaged them and their shield seemed on the edge of collapse while she herself seemed to be enjoying the fight.Quinn waved his hand and pointed, using mental command on the dragon construct. "Go on. Kill all of them!"The construct did not waste time and their shield was not
