We pressed on towards the dead carcass of the black blood burrower. On the way we encountered a few more ordinary burrowers but they for some reason immediately avoid us when we draw near towards them.
I just shrugged it off probably because of the death of their leader.
Anyhows, the trip was pretty uneventful. A couple of minutes of walking and we were there, although I did have a couple of migraines it wasn’t that bad so I just ignored it. When we finally arrived their lying in front of us was the carcass of the black blood burrower. I immediately ordered them to butcher it up and collect every drip of blood available.
A few hours pass and we were finally done sacking the last piece of meat, though I don’t know how long it would last without any preservatives on it, probably a day or two, four tops. Gathering the bottle full of blood and sack full of meat we pressed onwards towards the last gate guardian.
A huge door. A fricking huge door! And I’m not just talking about 5 to 7 meters huge. I’m talking about 20 to 35 meter huge door. It was intricately carved out of natural stone and placed skillfully along the sides of the wall.
It appeared totally natural that If you didn’t intently try to find the door you could have passed it up and miss it, though the way we discovered it was purely by coincidence. But before we entered the room we prepared ourselves and rested for a couple of hours before finally having the courage to open it up.
AS the door slowly budged open. A noisy creaking sound came from it. That’s strange , it was made entirely out of stone so how come it can produce sound like that, nevertheless I still ignored it and slowly entered the room.
There was a foul smell in the air and one can tell what the smell was from the first sniff… It was the smell of the dead.
“ Be careful.” I warned the elves as they huddled closer to each other while rattling noises keep on ringing from their shields clashing.
The place was far darker than the outside. Even with my night vision I could only see faint in here. It’s like darkness has totally consume this place.
RUMBLE
An eerie sound came from the front, we immediately halted and steeled ourselves for whatever may come with weapons at the ready. Clutching my steel rods tighter the rumbling became louder and louder as the elves felt tenser and tenser.
Suddenly a huge gaping mouth shot open towards us. Jumping to the sides I narrowly dodge it by a margin of inches. The others also managed to avoid it. One however wasn’t so lucky. As it was totally taken by the giant jaw and then quickly disappear back into the abysmal darkness. It seems that even the elves natural darkness affinity even they couldn’t see much in this place.
Clutching my rods I quickly changed them to katanas and barking at the elves to huddle up and make a circle to protect each other. The rumbling noise rang throughout again this time from west of us. I quickly activate flare tempest and direct it towards the rumbling noises. The bits of flame illuminated the room and A giant serpent appeared.
You have uncovered information about your enemy.
[td3]Name:Azgalor the Hydra[/td4]
Lvl:150
It’s the same creature I first met outside of the ravine and what the hell! It was the last guardian and not only that It even increased its level by 25!
HISSSSS!
Its long whip like tongue flickered in and out. As it eyed each and every one of us. Its predator like eyes shoned golden light in the pitch black room.
Shit! I thought and wait what the hell! Why is it named Hydra? I thought hydras had multiple heads. But I guess Looks can be deceiving and I learned one thing in this place that names aren’t just for show.
Taking an iron grip on my katana I charged directly towards the serpent followed by the elves on my back. Taking a jump and quickly slashing downward on its neck It easily evades my strike with its flexible body. The serpent quickly retaliates by constricting at me.
With a quick jump I barely manage to evade it.
“Human! In this pit? How interesting. And yet you seem distinctly familiar?” It hissed in a serpentine voice. What the hell! It doesn’t even remember me when it’s all his fault for me being in here. Gritting my teeth in anger I quickly activate Warrior’s instinct and Body strengthening.
While I was activating my skills the elves were busy on their business as well. They’ve surrounded the serpent and lashing out strikes at it with their spears. However it seems the natural armor of the creature is far more sturdy as the spears can’t even penetrate through it.
HISSSSS.
It signaled in anger as a pool of green slime quickly jolts out from its mouth drowning an elf in green slime.
“AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!” The elf shouted in pain as his body dissolved with the green liquid. Shit! It can spit out poison? And not just ordinary poison Corrosive poison!
“group together and use testudo formation when it spits out that liquid” I order them quickly. They immediately clash together to form the testudo with shields above and front. Clutching my swords tighter than ever I immediately dash towards him and making one giant leap before him I activate Dark pierce and focus it to attack his head. If its natural armor can shrug off slashes then how about penetration moves.
BANG
The now slender and pointed katana hit his body squarely. It eyed me and let off on what I can describe a sly grin. Shit! Even that move was useless? It immediately counters by slamming its tail at me like a whip while the other elves were dragged along with me.
They flew like birds, I did as well actually. We all toppled to the floor in heavy dusts.
HISSSSSS!
It let out another hiss as another spray of green liquid quickly flew from its mouth. The elves were quick to react as They immediately stood up and jump sideways trying to evade the spray. However another one wasn’t lucky enough to dodge. Shit! Another one gone. Quit killing them! There my living proof to present to the village you know! I screamed in my head not trying to reveal my intentions to the elf that I actually didn’t treat them as comrades but rather as tools, well more like camcorders actually.
Stolen story; please report.
I changed my swords into spears as I threw the dark spear flying towards the creature. It’s black streak couldn’t be seen due to the darkness of the area.
BAM!
It struck the serpents tail as he tried to deflect it. It sunk itself to it that the creature screamed in agony. Well that was surprising, the spear actually managed to penetrate its body. I immediately dashed again activating Ethereal Blade Swarrms.
RAAAAGGHHHRRR!!
I dashed towards it while evading the green liquid it sprayed towards me. I slashed its body horizontally as It inserted itself to the body and re-emerged on the other side while tearing through its skin on the other end . Blood dripped as I continued to slash at him.
HISSSSSS!
It screamed as the serpent flailed and struck at me with its whip like tail while the spear is still imbedded at it. You know it king of reminds me of a dinosaur. I casually avoid it and counter attack by slashing at the tip of his tail. The spear penetrated slicing down the tail from the body.
“What are you doing you fools!” I screamed at the staring elves. “Quit staring and start attacking while I distract him!” I screamed at them angrily while I avoid the jaw of the serpent as it tried to gobble me up once again.
They immediately snapped out of their trance and started to strike at him. Swords and spears clashed at its body while the creature just shrugged him off not bothering at them since their weapons can’t even penetrate its natural armor. It instead focused on me finding I was much more threatening than them.
I quickly take out the spear stuck on the tail I just chopped off and immediately changed both spears to axes. the serpent once again charged at me but this time I stood my ground and activating Ethereal blade dance. The creature got closer and closer until it was only inches away from me did I sidestep with a spin and then with a downward motion I gave a huge slash to its head severing it from his body.
Blood dripped from the creature as I changed the axes to the normal rods. That’s strange? Usually when I kill a creature I get a notification on exp and the likes, why didn’t I get one? Was what was going on in my mind only thing is flames spewed out towards me as I quickly rolled to the sides.
I quickly looked at the body of the serpent only this time there was another head on it now. What the fuck! So that’s what the name meant, a hydra that can regrow its head, actually its pretty common on games and movies but I didn’t think it would actually happen to me.
SHIT! I took a look around to see that the elves were still okay not fearing the now regrown hydra. Shit! I changed into my katanas again but then an agonizing headache stuck me.
AAAAAARGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Bloodshot red enveloped my vision as my consciousness vanished.
Black blood drawback will now take effect

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Unknown elf’s P.O.V+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The redeemer, was what we called him. We followed him all the way from our village to the last gate to take up his promise of escaping this damnable place. And he was making good on his promise as we were making progress. Yet at the last gate guardian battle something strange happened.
The redeemer had a cold and deathly aura around him as His eyes were red and veins were popping around his muscles. And then an agonizing scream came from him. It was so loud that even the Hydra that we were facing flinched from him.
He ran towards the hydra and started to recklessly slash at the guardian. We quickly followed on his lead as I slashed at the creature with my sword only to be deflected back again by the natural armor. Damnnit! I can’t even penetrate its skin. Yet the redeemer struck at the creatures skin like butter easily rendering it’s flesh.
The redeemer seemed different with it’s cold and deathly red eyes along with the chilling aura that came from him. It seemed like he was a…beast. We fought for a couple of hours and 12 severed heads were rolling on the floor. 7 of which came from the hydra who was now dead with no more heads to regenerate. But the others, they weren’t the heads of the hydra…It was my companions.
He killed countless of us not even regarding his allies and here I am following him thinking that he could lead us into a better future but now I am kneeling before what I thought would be our savior but rather our… executioner. This was my last thought as his swords cross strike at my head severing it from my body.
