Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 462 Exiting The Hellish Underground

The unexpected outcome is just something else to think the boss without HP would just be yeeted to the oblivion of the portal wherever it will be opened up. That alone is big and for Guts to suddenly do that, was something else too.

"I didn't expect you to kick the giant back to his own realm."

"Eh, it has to be done. How can we pass through if he just remained in a corner and keep on crying without leaving? And seeing that he is not even injured from our attacks just made me quite sure that he is invulnerable. You just hit his weakness and he was "defeated" which I would say to be quite lucky of you. Now close it before the guy come crashing here once again.

"Alright."

Chaotic energy still cycles around the portal. It was quite a big swirl of dark energies that anyone entering it would be drowned by the dark powers around it. As for the giant, I don't know what become of him but it's not necessary for me to know. I don't care what happened to him, now time to close the last portal.

Extending my hands, I started to transfer the chaotic energy to a bottle just like how Lina and Lucia taught me to do how to contain. Compared to the time I was just starting out, it seems much easier for me to absorb the chaotic energy right now. Perhaps I am learning the way of properly doing it since the last time.

A few minutes after transferring all of the chaotic mana one by one into a container, the portal that is currently blocking our way slowly disappeared and has been able to clear the path to the exit.

"Well, it seems this is where we part ways, Bladeheart. As much as we have a chaotic first meet-up, it was a good thing to tag along. Despite the satisfaction of fighting the enemies here are not enough, I enjoyed it a lot."

"You are not going to come with me up to the surface?"

"Haha, no. I don't think the noisy civilization is good enough for me and besides, fighting against the monsters around is much better than staying in a city or a kingdom."

"So you do come from a civilization before!"

"Well, of course, I am. Did you think I just pop out in here and randomly grow old here?"

Uh, yeah, I did think of that. You were like the Tarzan of the Freezing Region instead of being in the forest, you grew up here in the world where only hostiles and ice are existing.

"Anyways, I will be going back and maybe look for any other fun things to look underneath here. You would have enjoyed this place if you have fully explored it 100%. There are lots of monsters that are much tougher than the monsters that we faced up until we climbed up to the exit."

"Nah, I will pass. As much as I want to explore this place, I would rather reunite with everyone rather than delay and find myself looking for enemies to kill. Perhaps in the future but now, no."

Guts didn't linger there for long and finally, we part ways. It wasn't that long but I am quite sure I won't be missing him. We might consider ourselves friends, but not to the point of being called very close friends that I will treat him as a brother. I still didn't forget about him trying to rip off my body into two. That is how troublesome and a bit dangerous Guts is and if he just suddenly got his fuse burned off, who knows what will happen.

As for me, it's the moment of truth. The light outside is just so different than the light under this place and it sure is awesome to bask under this light once more which felt like a decade or so already.

Then, a message appeared before me the moment I stepped out of the exit.

[Disabled Functions are now restored. You can now use them again. We apologize for this gimmick but it was meant to do to make the adventure worthwhile.]

Adventure my *ss, this entire f*cking underground experience is one of the worst things that occurred to me. It would have been exciting if I was the one who volunteered to go but no and even though I managed to get some cool stuff, I still love to be on the surface and do my own quests and point of interests investigations rather than being forced to investigate on a place you can't escape until you find the exit yourself.

Stretching my body, I opened the menu to the chat call, and to my relief, the communications are back and it is no longer labeled as a crossed-out phone. And I think the Teleport scrolls are back to being functional again which is also good news. But right now, I have no plans to use that. With the Versatile Weapon being strong now, why not try them out on some monsters on the surface?

I didn't have enough luxury to test out the new power levels of the Versatile weapon since the last enemy is akin to an immortal and cannot die which is why it is gonna be great to test it on someone that can really die and has no gimmicks.

Goodbye to the hellish underground despite not being quite a hellish place but it sure is one of the most problematic places I have ever explored and I haven't even covered and seen half of the place which Guts bragged to be much more dangerous compared to our journey to find the exit of the place.

Ha, who cares about that, time to look for a prey I can kill!

...

...

...

Deep in the snowy mountains, the silent mountains are no longer bearing the silent treatment with the chaos happening between a group of humans fighting a giant beast that is trying to kill them all. Although everyone seems to be handling the situation quite well by controlling the aggro of all the attacks coming from the monster, it was clear that they are already having a big struggle on how to finish the whole incident before they get wiped out instead.

That group is none other than the ragtag group of players that Sigma currently leads. She remained steadfast and observed the situation with a calm look on her face while controlling the gold chains to limit the movement of the enemy.

Despite this, there is still a limit to what they can do. Sigma clearly knows that they would be easily defeated if they tried to rush on forward, however, due to the nature of their quest in trying to get all the items, they have to kill the specific monster. Now, the target monster is something an extremely hard monster to kill. Despite that, Sigma ordered to kill the monster as she has thought of a good plan that might take a bit long but will guarantee the kill.

And currently, an hour already passed by and the battle has barely even progressed much. The HP of the boss has already been reduced quite slightly but it was nowhere near the middle. It was like just barely reducing the HP bar at all.

Even with this, everyone believed in Sigma and continue to fight without stopping despite their weary bodies of theirs just to finish off the boss.

"Iron!" Hagane is gritting his teeth as he catches the attack of the giant ice crocodile that they are fighting against.

"Got your back here!" Iron charges and helped Hagane receive the attack head-on. The two shielders are gritting their teeth as they saw their HP slowly drain in front of them and yet they didn't run away and instead pushed themselves forward.

But before their HP fell to the last point, a green aura enveloped their body in a warm glow, which in turn, helped their HP return. They both looked behind them and saw Chase still chanting as the spell is operating its functions.

"Preparations are ready! Preparing to fire!" Dolly shouted as she raises her staff with a giant red magic circle swirling so fast that sparks of electricity is being produced every spin. Something similar is also happening to Topaz, who also raised her staff and aimed it at the charging monster that Hagane and Iron are stopping.

Then, a pair of golden chains fell to the ice crocodile and pierced its thick skin. The ice crocodile howled in pain as the two paladins managed to hold off the crocodile. That's when Harmless Sparrow comes charging in with her blazing sword as she leaps into the air and slammed down her sword on the ice crocodile. The attacks were not done yet when Bladeheart's mother pulled out multiple potion bottles and doused them on the two buffed men.

The two men slam their fists together before charging together to roll a punch as they hurl the ice crocodile in the air, the magic that has been charging is now released and fired at the hurled crocodile.

Of course, this spectacle is something quite amazing to look at, and someone grinned when he saw the situation happening before him.

"Time to hunt, I guess."
