Chapter 699 - Ares Dungeon 3
Meanwhile, back to Alex's location. Together with the girls, they followed the lizardmen running away until they stopped a few meters away from the lizardmen who stopped before a cave; after making sure that nobody was following them, they snuck into the cave.
Alex did not immediately follow them in; he first used his Divine Sense to check whether it was a trap or not; fortunately, it was not a trap; it was safe.
''Let's go in.'' He suggested, and the girls nodded. They walked into the cave to be shocked because there was another world on the other side; it was as if the cave entrance was a door to the other side, to a new world.
There saw mountains in the distance, flying beasts in the sky; the sky was a beautiful blue.
''Where is this?" Eris asked, confused, one moment they were running in a forest, they saw a cave they entered it and the next moment they were inside this wonderful place. The others were also shocked as she was only Alex, and Lilith frowned, the former aimed his gun in a certain direction before letting a bullet loose.
BANG!
The crimson bullet tore through the air destroying everything on its path, and soon there was the sound of something breaking apart followed by a wail.
''!!!!!!!"
Gracier, Eris, Eris, Maria were startled; they hurriedly looked around them, they were horrified by what they saw, the beautiful scenery was no more, it was replaced by a graveyard, a graveyard of bones, there were even some fresh ones sparkling like a gem.
''Those are the lizardmen's bones?" Gracier asked while stepping back.
Alex calmly nodded; the group finally understood; those lizardmen who attacked them and the remaining that entered this cave were under someone else control, and that scenery they saw earlier was an illusion, a high-level illusion that could even affect Maria. It should be known that she was immune to most illusion-type magic, so for an illusion to work on her, it must be a high-level one.
Finally, the culprit of the situation emerged from under the bones.
''Rarr! How dare you to run my beautiful face. I will kill you.''
The thing that shouted those words was none an Arachne; half of her face was in a mess because of the crimson bullet.
''Tch! I hate spiders.'' Gracier spat out the moment she saw the spider, the Arachne.
The Arachne was furious, she shouted furiously.
''You whole family is a spider.''
Lilith and Maria, even Eri and Eris exchanged a look; they had the same thought.
'She is will suffer hell.'
As expected, the Arachne's comment angered Alex; he knew he shouldn't but being compared to a spider was not something nice. As the others thought, he would make this arachne suffer.
''Please take care of the other monsters,'' Alex instructed before disappearing. As he had said, a few monsters were lurking in the darkness, spiders and others monsters.
The arachne was about to sneer when her eight eyes opened in horror.
Alex appeared before her and caught her head, nailing his knee into her face.
Bang!
The arachne immediately felt dizzy, and before she knew it, the other side of her face was already kissing the ground; Alex dragged her face alongside the ground; he held her face against the rough surface of the ground filled with spikes.
The pain surpassed everything she had ever felt in her long life; she couldn't defend herself at all. Just as the arachne decided to blow herself, dragging Alex together with her into the netherworld, a silver bullet penetrated through her chest, erasing her mana; she was left empty. Having her mana erased, she was not different from a newborn; Alex crushed her brain shortly after. He finally decided not to drag the fight more than he should because he could feel that their troubles weren't over.
As expected, immediately after eliminating everything in the cave, the cave began to shake.
Boom!
The cave exploded, blinding everyone's sight; when they opened their eyes again, they were in the middle of monsters, werewolves.
''Kill the invaders and capture the women for breeding.''
The leader of this group of werewolves, a huge werewolf sitting on a giant black wolf, raised his lance and announced.
From a rough estimate, the number of werewolves surrounding them was around two hundred; their level was not extremely high, only the leader was really strong.
The women frowned upon hearing that they would be turned into breeding machines. They decided to massacre everyone, to search for their village, and slaughter every werewolf inside it.
''Hurry, those damn lizards caught two humans; we must not fall behind. The ancestral battle will begin soon.'' The leader of the werewolves urged them to act faster. From his words, two humans were caught; Alex wondered if there was someone he knew among them. He quickly shook his head; he must first deal with these werewolves before thinking of something else.
Boom!
A single bullet curved through the air blowing three werewolves' heads. Silence fell on the battlefield; the leader frowned; even with his sharp eyes, he could not see what blew his men's head. He could see their confusion, the fear that began to settle in; he must not let this happen; they have the number; he needs to swarm them with numbers to win.
''Don't falter, charge, kill him, avenge the fallen.''
The leader's words seemed to have worked as they charged toward Alex simultaneously. Seeing this, he grinned; they were only making things easier for him. Eri summoned her sword and rushed forward; Gracier stayed behind but readied her bow; her arrows killed the werewolves Eri couldn't deal with. Eris also charged forward like a tornado; her rapier tore through the werewolves' chest like paper while Maria would turn them into an ice sculptures.
''What is this?" The leader of the werewolves watched in horror his men getting slaughtered; he had never seen something like this.
''Don't worry, you will join them soon.'' Lilith's voice echoed behind him. He felt goosebumps rising all over his body as alarm bells rang in his heart; he jumped off his mount and escaped into the depth of the forest in the blink of an eye. Lilith was dumbfounded.
''Seriously?"
