Chapter 125: Dungeon Hunt (Part 2)
"Roger that, Commander." - Sarah immediately drew her M4 and then loaded the ammo, she should have loaded it before, Sarah was so inexperienced
"Sir Rigen, what is "weapons free"?" - Reimi asked me, she didn't know this type of military phrase
"Attack at will, stay on highest alert."
"Understood." - Reimi immediately drew her sword out, I remembered that Shera had taught me about the thing called "magic stick", I was wondering if Reimi brought it into the dungeon or not
"Reimi, do you have a magic stick?"
"No Sir Rigen, the students that study to be Knights do not have permission to own magic sticks, now please order me what to do next." - I would take the lead, Sarah and Reimi would stay behind me, I didn't want to see them get hurt
"Sarah, cover me, I will examine the corpses, Reimi would guard with Sarah, alright?"
"Understood, Sir Rigen."
"Roger that, Commander." - Sarah immediately pointed her M4 Carbine around the area cautiously
I immediately crouched down to examine the corpses, I touched the blood on the ground, dried blood, the corpses must have died days ago. I touched the dirty armors and my fingers got dirt, these people had died with some of their weapons had been lost, I think the killer had taken them.
"Find any dot on the map scan, Advisor?"
"Negative, Commander! No dot, the killer must be far."
"Give the area map."
Advisor's screen immediately showed the area map, I saw that we had gone quite deep inside the dungeon, I was wondering where was the killer. I looked closer to the corpses and saw the corpses' limbs had been torn out, this killer must have used Wind Magic to cut these people's limbs though I didn't know if that was true or not.
"Reimi, can Wind Magic cut a human's limbs?"
"If the magic user has strong magic skills, Sir Rigen." - So the killer we were about to face seemed to be dangerous, the Adventurers that came here before told me the killer was a former Adventurer
"Can you use Wind Magic easily inside this dungeon, Reimi? I mean do you struggle to cast magic while inside this narrow space? The killer must have killed the people in this space."
"Sir Rigen, Wind Magic cannot be used in a place without air, this cave seems to have enough air to use magic but the spell would be weaker than outside because of lack of air."
"About difficult to use magic in this space, I heard the earlier Adventurers said the killer owns a magic stick."
"I think the killer only needs to hide somewhere good and head the magic stick out to shoot magic, no struggle at all." - Maybe I could hunt this killer myself, must call my girls to get out
"You two get outside of the cave now, quest canceled, this quest has no mandatory time so we can return here to hunt later, get out."
"But Sir Rigen, what are you gonna do!"
"Yeah, Commander! Why do we have to get out?"
"I will hunt the killer myself, I don't want you two hurt, get out." - I checked the M4's chamber again to make sure the gun had been loaded
"But Commander, I will follow you, I don't want to leave you here!" - Why are you so dumb, Sarah?
"Me too, Sir Rigen! I will protect you...please don't leave me...and Her Highness." - Sigh...fuck!
"If you two want to follow...okay! But stay behind me and run away when you two see I get in danger."
"Sir Rigen, why?" - You are too annoying, Reimi! Stop asking and follow my order!
"I won't leave you, Commander! If you want me to run, I will pull you to run with me...I hate you..." - Sarah turned away to avoid me
"We will head down the 10th floor, follow me, remember to stay cautious...take the order by nodding, not talking, we will use hands to communicate."
"Nod!"
"Nod!"
We immediately moved silently and cautiously through the routes, the dungeon had the exit directions' boards that hung on the walls so we didn't scare of be lost. We slowly headed down the 10th floor, the route was a bit dark because the torches were not enough to light up the entire floor, some goblins' corpses were lying around the place.
We slowly stepped forward and saw there was a huge creature's corpse lying around us, that creature had sharp teeth, brown furs and a huge body, that was an orc. I looked back and noticed Reimi was now looking around while holding her sword, Sarah was heading her M4 forward the road with a bit of sweat on her face, Sarah avoided looking at the orc.
I saw that the orc had been killed by...sharp earth? Its face had been smashed heavily and I could see the brain and its eyes torn out from its face, the face had been smashed by something.
I immediately headed my mouth very close to Reimi's ear, I didn't know how to describe by my hands what I was about to ask her.
"Reimi...what kind of magic killed the orc?"
Reimi heard I say that, she immediately looked around and then pointed her finger at the ground, maybe she meant the magic that was used to kill the orc was Earth magic. I was wondering if the damage on the orc's face was caused by the killer or dead adventurers.
The area around here only had the three of us, this must be a good time to order Sarah to collect the orc's ears for the quest, I must be cautious.
I pointed my hand to Sarah and the bag that was used to store goblins' ears and then pointed my hand to the orc's ears, I would have to be wise in this situation. Sarah knew my order and she slowly pulled out her M9 bayonet and then stepped close to my position, crouched down and one eye opened one eye closed to cut the orc's ears.
Sarah was very scared of seeing gore scenes, she was very excited when she knew she become an Adventurer, what a stupid and simple mind, Sarah should get used to killing and seeing blood or she would be the threat of my uprising's plan.
Sarah thought she could go to dangerous places to kill monsters like in animes and mangas and now she seemed to want to get out of here as fast as possible because of her scare.
I immediately pointed my hand to Reimi and then pointed behind her, Reimi seemed to know my meaning so she turned her head behind to guard, I turned my head forward while pointing my M4 to guard the road forward.
After half of a minute, Sarah had done cutting the orc's ears so she stored them inside the bag and then went back to her position, I would go deeper inside. I raised five of my fingers above and pointed them forward to let my group know I would go and then the three of us walked slowly with cautious again.
We went to the room and saw a dark purple crystal which had been hung on the top of a stone pillar had been destroyed, that must be the place to spawn monster, the dead Adventurers or the killer had cleared this entire floor. I saw an orc's corpse laid on the ground, that orc must be killed when it had newly spawned, its chest had a lot of sharp things that seemed to be earth stuck on its body but...its blood was still new.
This orc must be killed not less than an hour ago so the blood didn't dry, I must warn Reimi and Sarah...wait! I must be wise and quiet, I would order Reimi to cut the orc's ears while guarding Sarah.
I pointed my hand to Reimi and pointed to the bag that stored many ears and then pointed to the orc's ears, Reimi seemed to understand what I said so she grabbed the bag from Sarah and then stepped toward the orc. I pointed my hand to Sarah to tell her to guard the left side of the entrance while I would guard the middle and the right side, Sarah nodded and pointed her M4 out of the left side while sneaking behind the wall.
I pointed my M4 to the right side and sometimes pointed it to the middle side while sneaking behind the wall, I looked back to see Reimi and noticed that she was a bit struggling to cut the orc's ears. Maybe that monster's ears were so thick and the dagger Reimi was using to cut its ears was a bit blunt, maybe it was not well forged to be sharped.
I pointed my hand to Reimi and she saw me, I immediately pulled out my M9 bayonet and gave it to Reimi, that girl took my bayonet and bowed to me to thank me and then returned to cut the orc's ears. I noticed that I had lost my concentration earlier so I pointed my M4 out to guard, I would take the shot if I see the killer, Sarah was sweating and she used her sleeves to wipe the sweats on her face.
Sarah was scared while pointing her M4 out to guard, I looked behind and saw that Reimi had done cutting the orc's ears so she tapped me, the three of us returned to our previous formation and headed down the next floor. We went down to the 11th floor and noticed that the floor was completely dark, I didn't see anything so I pointed my hand to Reimi to tell me to give me a torch.
Reimi raised me a torch but I noticed that I brought some red flares with me so I shook my head to order her to store the torches. A red flare stick could burn in one minute, I hope we would be able to use it in this situation, I pulled out a small flare stick from my pocket and then pulled out its lid and turned on the flare.
The flare immediately lighted up a red light, Reimi saw that and she was shocked, I pointed my finger to my mouth to tell her to be quiet and the three of us walked slowly inside the 11th floor. I held the red flare in my left hand while pointing my M4 forward with my right hand, I could shoot a rifle with only one hand because my arms were well trained to do that.
Though the flare caused a bit of sound but I think it would not be a problem, we walked slowly forward and then I stopped, the thing that blocked our way was...a bunch of dead orcs. I immediately pointed my M4 to Reimi and the bag that was hung on Sarah's belt while keeping my ring finger away from the trigger to avoid stupid friendly fire.
Reimi nodded and fastly took the bag from Sarah and then headed to the orc, crouched down and cutting its ears. I noticed that the red flare stick I was holding had turned off so I pulled out another one and then turned it on, Sarah fastly guard behind while I was guarding forward.
After a few seconds of cutting the ears, Reimi had done cutting the orc's ears so she stored them in the bag and stored the M9 bayonet into my knife holster and hung the bag back to Sarah's belt. Our quest had been done here, now we must return to report to Cily, I would stop hunting the killer, my lovers' and my subordinates' lives would be higher than mine so I must protect them.
I immediately pointed the burning flare stick near my face and then walked away from the floor, Sarah and Reimi immediately formed the previous formation and followed me out of the dungeon. Sarah immediately stopped tense and then walked freely without guarding with her M4 while Reimi held her sword and looked around cautiously.
"Advisor, have you scanned and seen something suspicious? I forgot to ask you earlier."
"No, Commander! The scan has no problem, I didn't see the killer, you must go fast outside quickly before bad things come."
"Reimi, Sarah, follow me, we will head out fast."
"Understood, Sir Rigen."
"Roger that, Commander, hehe." - Stop smiling, we are not out of danger yet!
"Stop fucking with me around, Sarah! We are not in the safe zone yet."
Stolen novel; please report.
The three of us immediately headed out fastly while cautiously on guard, we were now on the 4th floor of the dungeon, only three more floors until all of us get out, we must hurry.
"Commander, I scanned and saw a red dot that is running toward your group from behind, that dot is running quite fast, away from your group about 482 meters (527 yards)."
Shit, the killer was chasing us, we would not be able to escape, the dungeon's exit way was still a long road ahead, we must fight back.
"Reimi, Sarah, the killer is stalking us, he is behind us, take the cover, we will ambush and kill him at once."
"You used detection magic, Sir Rigen?" - Reimi, this is not the time to ask!
"Yes!"
"Reimi - chan, take cover over there, that place is safe, I will take the lead with John." - Sarah pointed her hand to a corner that seemed to be good for cover so Reimi nodded and ran there
"Commander, do we have to kill?" - Of course, we have to kill! Don't make that nervous face anymore, we have to kill to survive!
"Now follow my order, you stay behind me while I point my gun out to kill, okay?" - Sarah nodded and sneaked behind me while I pointed my M4 out to the road forward, I will kill the killer
"Reimi - chan, what are you doing?" - Sarah asked Reimi for some reason so I also looked behind
Reimi was pointing her right palm out the road forward like us too, what she was doing?
"Sir Rigen, Lady Sarah, I will fight too, I can cast a maximum of 8 spells but I will do my best." - Reimi, thank you...though I threatened her earlier but she was still kind to me
"Remember to keep your head low." - Reimi nodded
The three of us kept waiting for the killer, I looked at my Advisor and noticed that person was very close to us, we would kill him right away when we see him.
I kept looking until I saw a figure of a black cloak man who appeared on the road forward, that man seemed not to notice us and his chest and his arms were exposed, I would shoot him right away because he was close to me.
I pointed my M4 to the killer's chest, always shooting to the chest to make the most accurate shots. This is how shooting works in real life, not in Hollywood, headshots kills would be impossible and most depend on luck, I would take a shot to the killer's chest.
"Bang!" - I pulled the trigger and shot the killer but when the bullet was about to hit him, a thing seemed to be a small earth wall appeared from the ground and covered the killer
"Ahhh!" - My head suddenly got shot and I fell to the ground, that was hurt! What the fuck shot me!
"Commander!" - Sarah saw me injured so she pulled me closer to the wall, I saw many sounds of cracked things that hit the wall behind me while some small pieces like earth fell to the ground
"Sir Rigen!" - Damn, Reimi! Stop running toward me!
"Ahh!" - Reimi had been shot by a piece of earth or something, the earth cracked into pieces when it hit the iron plate that covered Reimi's chest, Reimi was still fine but kept running toward us and then lay down when she reached our place
"Reimi, are you okay! Bang! Bang! Bang!" - I pointed my M4 out and fired some shots to avoid the killer from moving close to us
Reimi lifted her body and I saw the iron plate that was covered Reimi's chest had been broken a bit but Reimi was still safe, I was so glad.
"Commander, let me check your wound." - Sarah pulled the thick leather helmet out of my head and dropped it while checking my wound
I looked at the leather helmet, it had been broken completely and the piece of sharp earth that shot my head was still stuck on the helmet, only away about 17 inches before penetrating my head. If I didn't wear this helmet then I must have died for so long, I must visit Sallad next time to thank that old man for saving my ass.
"No wound, Commander!" - Good, Sarah!
I immediately pulled out an M67 grenade, I didn't want to waste the modern weapons, I wanted to save the ammunition and explosion weapons as long as possible but seemed like I had no choice but to use it this time.
I immediately pulled the M67 pin and then threw the grenade out toward the killer's position to let it roll to him, I hope the killer would not be smart enough to know the dangers of a grenade.
I waited for a few seconds and then.........
"Boom!" - The grenade had exploded, I hope the killer would not be survive
I immediately stood up and then headed my M4 out again to check but Sarah kept pulling me back because she was scared I would be shot again. Reimi seemed to be fine but I must check on her before heading to check the killer, I would let Sarah guard in this time.
"Sarah, stay guard, here, use it when you see any movement from the killer." - I gave Sarah the last M67 grenade and then stepped toward Reimi to check her wound
Sarah seemed very unpleasant about my decision but she obeyed and then headed her M4 out to check for the killer, I immediately touched Reimi's chest to check her wound though she didn't want me to do that.
"Are you hurt, Reimi?"
"No, Sir Rigen! I'm fine...but please get your hands out of my breast...I'm very embarrassed." - Reimi seemed very embarrassed when I touched her breast
I checked further and saw Reimi's chest didn't have wounds, the pieces of sharp earth only penetrated the chest cover plate but not her body, I was so glad to know my lover didn't hurt.
Sarah didn't notice us and was guarding, should I kiss Reimi?...Let's do that later.
"Everyone stay behind me, I will take the lead." - I patted Reimi's head and then stood up and changed my M4's magazine and then stepped forward on the road
I immediately walked fast forward while Sarah and Reimi were staying behind me, I immediately headed fast to the corner and then held the broken leather helmet. I pointed the broken helmet out of the corner to make it a decoy but didn't see the response from the killer, he must have died or he was pretending...
I immediately pointed my M4 out and exposed my head to see the killer, that man wearing a black cloak. The killer's body had been heavily injured by the grenade's pieces, both of his hands had been torn out a bit with blood drained out non-stop.
That man was still alive and was trying to head his magic stick to me!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" - I shot 3 gunshots, 2 to the chest and the last one to the killer's head, Reimi and Sarah were shocked and shivered because they didn't think I would do that
"Wait for me here, do not move without my order." - I slowly switched my M4 to safe mod and then headed to the killer, that man had died
The killer had carried a dagger, a sword and a magic stick when he died, I immediately took his magic stick and then stored it in my pocket, this magical thing must be useful to me somedays. Should I grab this corpse to show the guards to take the bounty? Maybe I should but I was wondering if these guys would have the money to pay me or not, importantly, would they be willing to pay?
I checked the corpse and saw there was no strange on it so I immediately pulled the killer's corpse out with the surprises from Reimi and Sarah, both of them were terrified? Tch!
"Sir Rigen, what are you doing? Why did you take that corpse?" - To exchange this corpse for money, Reimi!
"Commander, that's gross! Please stop!" - Shut up, Sarah!
"We will take this corpse to show the guards to earn money." - Reimi and Sarah didn't say anything anymore and slowly followed me out of the dungeon, maybe they were scared...or they have changed their looks at me, they must be very hated me right now
We slowly stepped into the dungeon, we had already stepped to the dungeon's exit so I immediately pulled hard and then used my very much force to throw the killer's corpse toward the Warsaw guards who were guarding outside.
"Hey, what the hell!" - One of the two guards yelled at me
"Why did you people don't tell me about the killer? This is his corpse, we killed him, we almost died down there."
"We forgot to tell you people and the other Adventurers told us that they have reminded you people about the killer so we didn't follow you anymore."
"Thank you for the help, young man, we will give you a bounty later, please show us your Adventurer's card again to let us have the information."
I immediately took my Adventurer's card and then handed it to the guard, he looked at my Adventurer's card and then took a small pen below his belt and dipped it in a small ink box and wrote something into a small piece of paper.
"We will have to check the corpse to verify if it is the killer or not and then we will reward you 12.000 Gels by giving that money to the Adventurer's guild and they will hand it over to you."
"The check progress would take one to two days, please patience, Sir."
"Thank you for the information, guard." - Reimi and Sarah seemed tired now, maybe I would do it quickly to let them rest, a guard was examining the killer's corpse and he stood up and looked at me for some reason
"Anyway, Sir! Do you see any magic stick from the killer? We only saw the normal weapons, this killer was told to have a magic stick." - Well, I must try to lie at once, I wanted to keep the magic stick
"No, guard! I didn't see that thing, what's wrong?"
"That's so? Then this guy must have dropped his magic stick somewhere in the dungeon, or his magic stick has been broken."
"Sir, the reason why I asked you about the magic stick is that when the owner of a magic stick dies, their magic stick would be owned by the one who touches it after its previous owner dies." - So I'm now the magic stick's owner...good!
"The magic stick when its master dies, it would not have the owner's contract, that means strange people can use the magic stick when they touch it."
"If someone can own this thing without the government's surveillance then that would be very dangerous for society."
"Anyway, you can go with your people now, Sir! We will solve the other problems from here, thank you for serving the people for killing this killer." - The guards that were guarding the entrance made a military salute toward me
We later walked together back to the Adventurer's Guild, all of us were very tired now after a long quest, I saw that the time had gone to 11:00 AM, this time was quite late for us now. After a long time walking, at about 11:21 AM, we finally got back to the Adventurer's Guild, I saw two Adventurers get out from the guild, this time maybe the rest time of the employees.
I later saw a little girl who wore in red uniform, which was the school uniform of the school Shera was studying, that brown-haired little girl seemed familiar to me.
But that little girl ran so fast away from the guild and joined the crowds on the streets so I didn't have time to remember who she was.
"Oh...why did Eris - chan go to the guild?" - Heh? What the hell did you mean, Sarah?
"What do you mean, Sarah?"
"I and my sis met this little girl in a day we were shipping, she said she is studying in the school that Princess is studying, Commander."
"That's so?" - I said to Sarah and then noticed Reimi was still looking at the crowds
"Reimi."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Sir Rigen! I have the feeling to see that little girl somewhere..." - So the three of us knew about that little girl?
But we later ignored and opened the Guild's door and headed inside the guild, inside was empty except there was one guild girl who wore in black blue uniform and a black cloth to cover her mouth.
That was Mili - the mysterious woman who told me we had known each other before though I didn't remember her, she was now storing something that seemed to be a cloth that was covering a box below the stall.
We stepped toward Mili with our tired faces, she saw us and then she opened a smile, I felt happy when she smiled at me for some reason, strange!
"Good noon, Sir! Please hand me your quest paper and the proof to show you have finished it." - Mili said to me so I pulled out the quest paper, which had been battered after staying inside my pocket for too long
Sarah later pulled out a bag that was used to store the monsters' ears and then put it on the stall, Mili later checked the ears and the quest paper, after checking, Mili held the quest paper and the bag and turned her body to the door behind her.
"Please, Sir, Ladies! Wait for me a bit." - Milch said that and she opened the door and went away
"So tireddd...yawn!" - Sarah immediately sat on the floor and yawned non-stop, maybe she was sleepy
"Reimi, get here." - I told Reimi so she nodded and headed toward me
I immediately looked at Reimi's chest again to make sure she was not wounded and then patted her head. Reimi's face seemed to be shy and scared of me mixed, I would not hurt you but would make you happy, my love.
"Hmmph! Hentai!" - Sarah yelled at me and then looked away
Then I saw Mili stepping outside while holding a large bag that seemed to store money inside it, Mili later put the bag on the stall.
"Thank you for doing the quest, Comrades! Here are your reward." - Mili smiled at us and I took the money
"Sir R-, I mean Sir, are you hurt? Do you need a healer?" - Mili seemed to notice the dirt in my armor and Reimi's broken chest plate, she had been concerned about redundant things...sigh!
"No, madame! We are fine, just only tired...sigh!" - Maybe I should tell Advisor to help me to calculate to divide the money to share with Reimi and Sarah
"Advisor, I take 1.000 Gels, Sarah and Reimi would take 2.500 Gels, now help me to count the money."
I grabbed the other bags from Sarah and then grabbed the coins out, after 10 minutes, I had taken divided the money so I gave Reimi and Sarah the money bags.
Ladies first, bad ladies later, men after treating well with ladies, bad men for the last, what a fair deal.
"Thank you, Sir Rigen." - Reimi thanked me when I shared with her the money
"Thanks, Commander." - Sarah took the money and then sat on the floor and...she wanted to sleep right this time?
Wait...I forgot to give Shera and Reimi these things, I must call Reimi to give her the letters.
"Reimi, get here." - Reimi heard my order so she headed to me
"Hey, I forgot to give you and Shera these things." - I took the letters and handed them to Reimi, she held the letters with her confusion
"These letters are from Lerer, he wrote them to you and Shera, read them when you have time..." - Goddammit, I wanted to kiss Reimi right now!
"Now you can go back to Shera...go now if you want."
"Reimi, I love you." - I patted Reimi's head slowly and then kissed her a sweet kiss, Reimi's face seemed so cute when she was scared and shy, it made me want to...ahem! Ahem!
"Oh...so you two are lovers, I didn't guess wrong at all." - Mili grabbed the box that was covered by a white cloth and put them on the stall, she later pulled out the cloth and opened the box, a box lunch with full of good food
"The guild is in its rest time, right, madame? Is that your lunch?"
"No, Sir! I have been ordered to guard in the noon so I would not be served lunch but I'm allowed to buy food from outside or take the food that is brought by my relatives."
"Before we got in here, I saw a little girl run out of the guild, is she your relative, madame?"
"Yes, Sir! She's my daughter, my daughter said to me the school's food is served free so she always runs here to give me lunch after has done her meal."
"That's so?" - I patted Reimi's head after kissing her, this Knight girl is so cute!
"Sir R-, I mean..."
"Call me Rigen or John as you like, Reimi."
"Sir Rigen, I will go back to H-, I mean Lady Sarah now, please let me go."
"Alright, remember to give Shera the letter...don't be scared of me, I won't hurt you or your master...I love you and her, I will make you two happy." - I whispered to Reimi's ear to let only I and her know
"Understood...Sir Rigen..." - Reimi slowly pulled my hand out of her and bowed toward me and then got out of the guild with her shy face
"I will go now, Mili! I will rarely do the quest but I will get here when I have time, I want to see how beautiful you are when you become the official employee, madame." - Why I can't be faithful with 3 women? How many wives did I want?
And why my dick cannot stop getting hard when it sees MILFs? Want Shera to cut you off my crotch or what? Good...my dick had lowered down after being threatened.
"See you next time, Sir." - Mili waved her hand to me and I also waved my hand to her to say goodbye
I later noticed that I didn't see Sarah, I saw a figure on the floor and I looked down. Sarah was now sleeping very well with her tongue...exposed and drooling, it made the floor wet...holy dog shit!
"Wake up, brown-haired Princess." - I carried Sarah on my back and noticed that her drools were still draining out from her tongue when I was carrying her, her drools were about to stick to my face...sheesh!
But at least Sarah's boobs were pressing my back and they made me have a good mood to...so happy! I just want to carry Sarah into an inn and...no! No! No! What the fuck I was thinking!
"Brown-haired Princess, if you dare to sleep in front of me again, I will make you have my baby...that will be your reward if you play dumb with me, you know?" - I slowly carried Sarah out of the guild, end of the noon
