Arcana Mob

Chapter 36 Ch 36 : Problem In The Trip

' Geez.. so at the end, it really comes to this huh…'

Looking at the hand that was stuck out to him, Cade could only shake his head helplessly.

" Hey, you don't need to make such a blank face, okay? I know you are a loner, but…"

" Can you please shut up!"

Quickly trying to hide the embarrassment on his face, Cade turned around to shush Luna.

Well, it was pretty apparent that Cade had pretty much expected this. Yet, he still didn't expect that it would come this fast.

However, Cade still had some thoughts on his mind.

Even though he knew this was coming, he didn't have any intention of joining the protagonist group.

After all, he had his own source of problems, and adding more problems from the protagonist's group would not help him at all.

But just when Cade was racking his brain hard about how to finish this introduction, a warning came from Grigory.

" Sorry, I don't think we'll have the time."

" ???"

Aurum was handsome, exceptional in martial arts, and had a fantastic personality.

Except for the previous weak Arcane Card, he was a bit too perfect, so he felt inhumane.

Rejected by Cade like this, Aurum felt a bit strange, but then..

Right after Cade said his words…

—BOOM!

A thunderous sound reverberated through the area; In an instant, everyone became silent.

The sounds of emergency alarm repeatedly pulsed through the deathly silence.

The sound resembling the footsteps of a giant creature soon led to the sound of something breaking. The atmosphere in the area took a quick turn.

"Kyaaaak!"

" What… what is that Arcane Card!??"

Standing in front of them was an Arcane Card a few meters tall. It had rough green skin and looked like a two feet giant Lizard.

And to make it worse, it seemed to lead a group of monsters to attack everyone here.

" Damn.. it seems we really have no time. Summon Arcane Card!"

Except for Cade, who has been prepared, Alice Senpai was the quickest to come to her mind.

Just like the other Capture target, as the Arcane Card was summoned, a blinding light enveloped Alice-Senpai's body.

Her Arcane Card was also the possession type, and it had given her a beautiful and strong armor that helped her to battle her opponent. This armor takes the form of a beautiful, white revealing gown with a hem sprouting from it and a red collar, being tied with a red and gold belt. The upper part of the dress includes a red and golden wing, which could either be used in attacking or defending.

Following Alice-Senpai's lead, the others also summoned their Arcane Card.

Luna and Eva, with their possession type Arcane-Card, Cade with his Spectre Dullahan, and Aurum with a Tusked Board Arcane Card that he had just captured from the Dungeon.

"H-help mee!?"

Even though most of the people here were a researcher and had high and stable salaries, they were still cowards in the face of monsters and unknown threats.

The unknown led to anxiety, and anxiety quickly led to panic. The researcher screamed and began to run. Some were begging for help.

And in the corner, one could see the monsters were getting nearer, and it was only one step away from devouring a female researcher.

' Will I die here.. Mom…'

The female researcher had closed her eyes as she had already lost faith in herself. All she wanted right now was a quick death, and she hoped the monsters would be a bit lenient for her.

Yet, even after some time, her death had not come yet, and it made her curious.

" How.."

"Stay here! Everyone, gather!! We will break through the monsters together."

Standing in front of her was a Giant Tusked Boar that blocked the monster's advance.

Knowing that it would be dangerous, Aurum had taken action and shouted.

Currently, the whole place was being attacked by an enemy with an unknown goal, so their best course of option was to stick together and not panic.

As of now, led by Alice-senpai, the group of five was still able to manage the horde of monsters in front of them, but it was still assumed that the big enemy Arcane Card had not made its move yet.

The number of monsters was not small, but they were barely able to hold on.

" Hold on! We need to hold on until reinforcement arrives!"

Right after the monster appeared, the group immediately reported the attack to the Uktima's federation police, and all they needed right now was to hold on.

A blue fire rose up around the Spectre Dullahan's sword. From right the beginning until now, Cade had never let go and kept telling the Monster Dullahan to kill as many monsters as possible.

The sword was swung, and three of the monsters lost their lives in an instant, showing the power of the blue fire sword.

Sneaking a glance at Cade, who now had sweats all over his body, Luna asked.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. The consumption was not low, but I should still manage. After all, we wouldn't know when that Big Arcane Card would make its move."

Even when battling the monsters, Cade's gaze was always at the big Arcane Card from the start.

Based on the game, the big Arcane Card would only make its move later, but he couldn't always rely on his knowledge from the game. After all, who knew what changes his appearance would have brought here.

Meanwhile, Cade also sneakily snuck a gaze at Aurum.

If he was not wrong, if the Dungeon was the first time Aurum made his name known, then today would be the day for him to reveal his true potential and make a lot of guilds and family interested in him.

Cade slowly backed off from Aurum's battlefield.

There was nothing he could do here.

Once Aurum realized his hidden power, the monster on the side would eventually be taken care of. The girls would also start to look at him more and admire him.

For him, it would be more effective to try and find the perpetrator rather than putting all his focus on the monsters.
