The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 68: Raiding an E+ Rank Dungeon Part 15

Kayn twisted his body and brandished his sword. As simple as that, he severed the head of another Undead Soldier.

After doing so, he quickly grabbed the shoulder of that Undead Soldier and swing himself back to the ground.

He cannot remain mid-air as that would make him vulnerable to the Undead Soldiers.

Upon landing on the ground, he didn\'t waste any time to make a roll as he noticed the other Undead Soldier clawing toward his direction.

"That was close," Kayn breathes a sigh of relief. He stares at the Undead Soldier and the other stares back at him.

"Luckily, the other Undead Soldier can no longer see right now," Because of that, it lost its sense of direction and started attacking randomly. In other words, it\'s no longer considered a threat to him.

That was also the case with the other Undead Soldier that Rys is fighting right now. It\'s even in a much worst situation as it started walking away from the fight.

"Let\'s stop switching and focus on the Undead Soldiers in front of us," Rys suggested. He can\'t allow Kayn to continue jumping from one place to another since he is worried that he might overexert his body.

"I thought the same," Kayn also has a similar idea in mind. He had thought of doing so ever since he noticed his arms are shaking. Moreover, he would be able to quickly finish dealing against these Undead Soldiers if he focuses on one group only and won\'t keep on switching to the other.

With that being said, Kayn launches himself forward.

Bang!

The claw of the Undead Soldier landed on the ground as he evaded just in time.

Arriving beside the legs of the Undead Soldier, he brandished his sword directly at them.

Whoosh!

Bang!

One of the legs of the Undead Soldier was instantly severed. Albeit, he noticed that it was considerably tougher compared to the previous Undead Soldiers he had been dealing against. As a result, his arms were shaking even more.

"I should have thought better before thinking of doing this," Kayn felt slightly regretful. But there\'s no use regretting now since he is already close to defeating these Undead Soldiers.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, two fireballs landed on the two Undead Soldiers, causing the one-legged Undead Soldier to fall on its knees while the headless Undead Soldier dropped down on the snowy ground.

"Finally!" Kayn can\'t help but exclaim. He had been waiting all this time for Alice to attack. To tell the truth, he even thought that she had abandoned them already.

"I was thinking of leaving you alone after seeing your marvelous performance, but I noticed that you are starting to feel fatigued now," Alice explained.

"They went beyond my expectations," Kayn could only use that as an excuse. Albeit it was also the truth as he had thought earlier ago that as long as Rys, Alice, and Diana assisted him he would be fine.

"You can take it easy now," Alice assured.

With Alice\'s assistance, Kayn no longer had to overexert his body to deal with the two Undead Soldiers.

The moment the one-legged Undead Soldier was eliminated, it didn\'t take long for the headless Undead Soldier to follow suit.

Not long after, Rys was also able to take care of the two Undead Soldiers on his side.

With all of that done, Kayn sat on the snowy ground and started recuperating. Rys also sat beside him as the two of them watches the ongoing battle over the distance.

"It seems that they are about to finish over their side as well," Rys muttered.

"The Ice Dread Queen was already very weak, so it\'s more surprising that it took this long," Kayn said a remark.

With Echo landing the last critical hit, the Ice Dread Queen\'s body started falling apart like the Undead Soldiers.

Arghhh…

The Ice Dread Queen bellowed for one last time as her soul slowly diminished to oblivion.

As soon as the Ice Dread Queen was defeated, no more Undead Soldiers climbed the cracks. Because of that, the Black Panda team soon cleared all Undead Soldiers.

"Glad that it is finally over," Victor said as he wipe the sweat on his forehead. Although the Ice Dread Queen is already gone, the cracks around them and the magma underneath still didn\'t disappear.

"Good work landing the last hit Echo," Alex smiled at Echo who is walking toward them.

"Likewise," Echo replied.

"That was really awesome what you did earlier mister Echo," Joshua expressed his great admiration at Echo\'s dancing maneuver in mid-air a while ago.

"Although we\'ve seen it dozens of times already, you still don\'t fail to amaze us," James quickly added.

"It was nothing," Echo just casually waved Joshua and James\' compliment. He had already heard their compliments multiple times, so their words are like passing wind to him.

"So, is everything taken care of?" Frank suddenly interrupted.

"More or less," Victor replied, but he quickly added, "Why you\'d ask though?" If Frank is thinking that he had forgotten what he did, then he is hugely mistaken.

"Nothing," Frank turn around and started walking toward his group.

It was quite evident that Frank has another goal for his question.

"Echo," Victor called out. "I know that you are tired, but I want you to check the boss\' room and see if there are any people over there right now,"

"I understand," Echo already expected that Victor would send him to check the boss\' room once they are done dealing with the Ice Dread Queen. After all, this wasn\'t the only time that Frank did something like this.

"Bring Joshua and James with you," Since the twins are carrying light armor, they should be able to keep up with Echo.

Although he trusts Echo\'s capability, it is still much safer for him if he doesn\'t go alone. There\'s no telling what Frank and his men would do in desperation. They might even just ignore the fact that they are part of the same guild and team out of greed or whatsoever the reason they went to the boss\' room.

Frank quickly noticed Echo, Joshua, and James suddenly leaving toward the location of the boss\' room.

Seeing that, he could already guess that they knew of his plan, or at the very least, suspects what he had done. Unfortunately, he can\'t do anything to stop them at this moment, because if does anything, he\'d be leaving himself with no way out once his men are discovered by Echo\'s group.

He could only hope deep inside that his men has already gotten out of the boss\' room right now so that Echo and his group won\'t be able to discover them once they arrive. Or if they are unlucky and got caught, they won\'t snitch on him right away. At least by then, he can try to do something to save himself.

On the other side, Kayn already noticed Echo, Joshua, and James setting off toward the direction of what he assumed to be the location of the boss\' room.

"It seems like things aren\'t over yet," Kayn said.

"Serves him right!" Rys felt excited. "After what he has done a while ago," Nearly causing more casualties in their team, "— he deserves to be punished once we return to the headquarters,"

He already plans to report to his father what Frank has done so that he would finally be kicked out from the Black Panda team. He\'d make sure will happen this time around as he doesn\'t want something like this to keep on repeating.

Alice and Diana approach Kayn and Rys.

Before that though, they\'d have to brace themselves from Alice and Diana, as they can already expect that they would be receiving a piece of their minds and an earful of words.

"You two!" Alice called out angrily. "What were you two thinking that you actually lured four powerful Undead Soldiers?"

"What you two did was very dangerous,"

"We know…" Rys said in a low voice.

"You, Kayn!" Alice pointed her finger at Kayn. "I thought you said that you\'re only going to stay at the edge?"

"I did…" Kayn also replied in a low voice. Although it hurts his pride to be treated this way, he also has to understand that Alice and Diana are simply worried about him. That\'s not something that he has to make into a big deal just because he was the number one Hero on Earth.

"But we did stay at the edge though," Rys tried to reason out.

Kayn immediately elbowed Rys to signal the latter not to talk back.

"Yeah, you did! But that still doesn\'t change the fact that Kayn went in the middle for a moment. And also, weren\'t you supposed to be making sure that he doesn\'t get himself in danger? Yet, you allowed that to happen?" Alice scolded Rys.

"I…" He finally understood why Kayn wanted him to shut up. It\'s because there is no doubt that be blamed for everything if he dares to speak up. He turns to look at Kayn with eyes asking for help.

Looking at Rys tearful look on his face, Kayn could only shake his head in response. He already warned Rys about this, albeit it was after the latter did something stupid. Regardless, it should be common sense not to talk back to Alice and Diana right now.

Honestly, if there\'s anything that he doesn\'t want to do right now, that is further adding annoyance to Alice and Diana. Once he does that, there\'s no telling what will happen to him next.

Rys could only lower his head down after receiving Kayn\'s response. He muttered silently, "You traitor…"

"Forgive me brother, but I can\'t help you deal with this problem," Kayn thought to himself after hearing Rys calling him a \'Traitor\'.
