Arcana Mob

The inside of the Dungeon was covered by dense darkness. That even turning on a flashlight would not help that much. Cade grabbed Miss Elizabeth\'s hand and guided her. Ignoring the blush on her face and kept going.

The two walked through the Dungeon with the only lightning they have was from the Spectre Dullahan\'s aura.

"It\'s kinda creepy."

"*Mutter* Hand….."

" Ah, sorry I can\'t really hear you. It\'s dark here."

" ….. "

" Kyuu…."

After a few minutes of walking, Cade suddenly stopped and widened his eyes.

It was almost gone unnoticeable, but for Cade, who knew the history of this Dungeon from the game, he saw something that shouldn\'t be there.

There was a used cigarette slipped in the corner. If it was any other dungeon, then it wouldn\'t be strange to see that thing here.

But this should be a not yet discovered Dungeon, and to see such a thing, means..

" Be wary. There might be ambushers around us." Cade warned Elizabeth.

They stopped, and their eyes surrounded the Dungeon.

And right, not long after, two people were walking forward from the pathway.

\' *Sigh* Haven\'t I said this before? You should take out that cigarette first."

" Oh please shut up. Wasn\'t it you who threw that cigarette there?"

Ray couldn\'t tell who they were from their faces.

All he could see was one had a bigger stature, while the other one was pretty small with a bald head.

But considering the feeling he got from them and the tattoos on their faces, they should be some bad guys.

At this point, Elizabeth was more than ready to act. But Cade had another idea.

"…Wait, stay quiet for a moment."

" Why?"

Miss Elizabeth whispered.

She was about to summon her Arcane Card and burn those two into cinders. But Cade\'s words stopped her.

He clenched Elizabeth\'s hand tighter, which took her by surprise.

" ??? "

" Don\'t worry, I have a plan."

As he walked toward the two men, he introduced himself.

"Wow… Hello, my name is Cade. I did not expect to meet people in a place like this. My girlfriend here and I discovered this place by accident, and we decided to explore it a bit.. Haha.."

Cade pretended like he was a clueless boy with his girlfriend, who accidentally delved into the Dungeon.

" ??? "

The man with the tattoo was also surprised by this development, but he quickly said..

"I\'m Gran, and this here is Glenn."

"Nice to meet you."

The short bald headed Gran smiled. Glen was a bit confused, but he still followed Gran.

" *Pstt* Hey, what are you doing?"

" Hehe… just follow me. If things go as I wanted, we could brought him deep into the Dungeon, kill him and later get the girl for ourselves."

" Damn.. you are smart, Gran!!"

Ray\'s face was just way too young, and the two didn\'t believe that a girl would be that strong. Therefore, they thought that there would be little risk to this.

All four people except Elizabeth had big smiles on their faces as they had their own motives.

But unknowingly, it had turned into a war of who could utilize the other party better.

"This Mountain range is no place for people. You have come a long way…. what brings the two of you to these remote lands?"

"Well, we actually…."

Cade went ahead and replied.

"Hahahah so that\'s it? A pair of lovebirds who looked for a place to snu-snu?"

*Blush*

Elizabeth\'s face was beet red.

Her grit on Cade\'s hand tightened, and Cade could feel a murderous glare from behind. It was as if her eyes were saying:

\' I\'ll make sure I will remember this, Mr. North.\'

Gran had a wide smile. Glenn also was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Anyway, this dungeon is a really dangerous place. You could call this meeting fate, so from here on, we are going to be your escort. I think the road we offer is in good faith. There is no reason to refuse. We would be grateful to accompany you, haha."

Obviously it was a suspicious offer. But Cade pretended that he didn\'t notice anything weird and displayed his brightest smile.

"Haha! If it is like that, why should we refuse?"

As the two groups reached an agreement, they began to explore the Dungeon together.

Nonetheless to say, Ray knew all the traps of this Dungeon from the game.

But sometimes, games and reality might differ, and he couldn\'t be more than try to be safe.

The path to the boss room was wrought with monsters.

Currently, there were six ghouls in front of them. They were intermediate rank grade (V) undead monsters.

While summoning their Arcane Cards, the two separated and gently surrounded the ghouls.

Gran\'s Black-horned Grizzly acted like a tank, while Glenn\'s Goblin knight dealt the finishing blow.

\'Not bad. They should be at least at rank (V) or higher. Glad that I didn\'t make a rash decision.\' Cade judged.

It wasn\'t just their rank. They also had good reflexes and judgment. They knew where and what to attack and how to properly strike an opponent.

So these are the people raised in this harsh adventurous world, huh?

Though Elizabeth couldn\'t really understand Cade\'s meaning. From the start, she kept looking at Cade suspiciously.

And since now the two bad guys were battling, they finally got the time to chat.

" Hey, what are you thinking? I could just burn them into cinders.."

" ..."

" What??"

" Are you always this fierce? No wonder that you…"

Not even able to finish his words, Cade could feel a huge amount of murderous aura leaking from Elizabeth.

" Okay okay… I\'m just joking, okay. Geez.. where is that girl who was blushing just now just because I held her hand.."

" ….. "

" Back to the topic, the reason I have them by our side was none other than to check for traps.

The two of us alone. Though we are more than enough to get through this Dungeon alive, there were also some risks. But with them, if anything goes wrong, we could always use them.. Hehehehe…"
