Free Web NovelChapter 15: Liam and Rock
"Wha...
What the hell was that?" one of the adventurers yelled when the spell had ended. His face was pale, and sweat trickled down his neck and forehead.
’Oops, seems that went too far.’ Kael thought. He did not regret it though, that was pretty awesome.
The adventurers had never seen such an attack inside a dungeon, and so they were scared and stunned shitless. They looked around all at the same time, wanting to know if it was some mage that had cast the spell.
"Stop looking around, it was me, I did it. Tch, I get no credit here," Kael said.
"Someone must have set a trap here, but why?" one of the adventurers asked.
"There is no trap, you stupid bunch of buffoons. I did all that," Kael yelled at them, and his walls hummed in response. Seeing that they were not willing to know that it was him, he immediately unleashed a second explosion spell that shook the entire floor right in front of them.
This second one had somehow stunned them more than the first.
"We have to get out of here. Whoever laid this trap evidently made more than one," one of them yelled as they rushed to leave as fast as possible.
"Tch, they still don’t know that it’s me. Well, whatever, not like I care," Kael said. He was pretty stoked that he now had an actual attack to himself. He was a mage now, a mage dungeon.
"Now to wait for the second skill I’ll absorb, hahah. I’ll get even stronger," he spoke and laughed like some sort of evil villain.
Since he was done with the testing, he finally decided to go and watch the most important thing that was happening now. The day was slowly drawing to an end, which meant many adventurers would have made it to the fourth floor, and it would be time to see who could make it to the fifth floor.
As soon as he looked at the fourth floor, his heart dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The fourth floor was not what he had expected it to be. It was a war zone.
The very moment he looked in, he saw a ton of hobgoblins locked in battle.
A swordsman charged at three hobgoblins alone. He leaped into the air, sword pulled to his back. The sword erupted in flames as he swung down with all his strength.
"Die, you critters!" he roared and swung down. His blade cut through the first one and then proceeded to hit the floor. A massive explosion of flames erupted in every direction and blasted the other two away, killing them instantly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The swordsman stood there, breathing heavily like his chest was about to collapse. It was evident that they had been doing this for long.
"Rock, we have to pull back and try again another day," a dude rushed close and said. He had a massive shield and full body armor as well. He tried to pull Rock back.
"No, Liam. This is our opportunity to hit it big. Did you not see what that other party got from the first floor? Imagine what will be on the fifth," he said with greed glowing in his eyes.
"Besides, you see that other party? They moved faster than us. They are heading to get the treasure. If we don’t move fast, we will lose it," he said and then turned to look at his team. There were two other party members, two ladies. One was dressed in nun-like clothes and had even her hair covered. She held the metal rosary around her neck that connected to a gem like it was some precious item or something.
The other lady was dressed like a seductive mage. Her outfit reminded Kael of Violet. The mage had a staff with a gem at the top of it. She stabbed the staff into the ground and leaned on it. It was evident that she was tired, very tired.
"Mira, use Heal and Revitalize on us, and let’s keep going," Rock said to the nun.
"Rock, we have used Heal almost twenty times now. We can’t keep pushi..."
"We are not stopping!" Rock snapped. "I’ll not let someone else have what is mine, never!" he barked in anger and then glared at Mira. She looked down, evidently she was tired as well, but she had to cast the spell.
She grabbed her crystal tighter and began casting a spell. A massive magical circle formed under them, green and glowing. It revitalized and healed them of every wound. When she was done, she let out a breath of exhaustion and stumbled. Liam rushed and grabbed her, stopping her from moving.
"This is enough, Rock. We can’t keep moving," Liam said and looked at Rock. freēwebnovel.com
"We keep moving."
"We can’t!" Liam yelled and got to his feet. He steadied his shield. "If your greed will not allow you to see that even with the healing spells our bodies are at their max, then maybe you are not fit to lead the party anymore," Liam yelled at him.
"Who the hell are you to tell me that? I built this party from the ground up. We do what I say, and right now I say we go and get that treasure."
"Damn, this Rock dude is a serious ass. I don’t like him one bit. Greed is good, but at the detriment of your closest people? That Mira looks like she is about to pass out.
Either way, this is pretty interesting. I want to see where this goes. I wish I had some popcorn to watch with," Kael commented as he watched.
"I’m sorry, Rock, but this treasure has taken over your mind, and if you cannot see that, then I guess you can’t lead. I’ll not allow you to drag us to death," Liam took a stand.
"Liam, do not do this," Rock said.
"You pushed me to this."
Rock gritted his teeth and then entered a stance, while Liam steadied his shield and got ready.
