As I started to hear more sound coming from around me and above, I started to move even faster toward the gate, but every a few moments I was being stopped forcing me to change route or deplete mana to fight, at first, I killed everyone brutally trying to deter others, but they kept coming like moths to flame.
-at this point, I won't even be able to support my transformation, I'm not sure if they know of my ability to change forms, but it's better to not show it of course if possible, but I'm reaching my limit here.-
And that's when my human hair stood on end as I used every last bit of mana I had left for defense, I even released my human disguise for that extra mana, but it was all useless.
In less than a second, a massive explosion happened exactly where the creature was.
A few moments later, men holding weapons and wearing masks, moved through the smoke and dust, and reached the creature who was now in his original form.
He was a white, unimaginably white, a face without features as blank as a sheet of paper, probably 8ft (ca. 244 cm) tall, or that's what it used to be, there was a green liquid coming out of his body or what remains of it, as he has lost both legs and an arm.
The creature looked at the solders and screamed as if intended to keep on fighting, but he couldn't finish his war cry before being shot hundreds of times by armor-piercing bullets.
….
In a room that looked to have a very high security, the president of France, Minister of the Armed Forces, and many other highly ranked military officers sat down looking at the many screens when a voice sounded in the room
“we have received confirmation, the target is dead, and appears to be non-human”
There was a silence in the room for a few minutes, as if everyone was waiting for the president to speak, and he did.
“Take the creature's body for study, try to create a test to stop this from happening, and if anyone from now on enters a gate and leave, there will be a quarantine period to make sure those who come back are humans, even if a civilian enters same treatment, I will leave the rest to all of you, I need to make an urgent call.”
The president didn't even look at the other people's reaction in the room as he left, immersed in his thoughts, and remembering the conversation he had earlier today.
….
As he entered his office, sat down, picked up the phone and started to talk
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
“Mr. president, the Chief of protocol, has informed me that there is a time-critical matter to discuss.”
The president of France, president Éliott leaned on his desk, the phone on his right ear, while tapping with his finger on the table
“my apologies president Éliott, however there is truly something urgent, I hope this conversation here will be off the record completely.”
After a moment of thought, he clicked a couple of buttons on his phone and said, “no one is listening, what happened?”
“What I'm about to tell you might be the most ridicules thing you have ever heard, but if it's true, then its complication might be catastrophic.”
President Éliott listened attentively as he heard of Ravenswood, the god that created it, and the last words of Sylvan shade.
“I don't know if all of what is being told in Ravenswood is true or not, maybe it's just some true mixed with lies, my request is to investigate Louis Charles, and if anything comes up tell me because if this information is true, then the other things he said might be true as well.”
President Éliott said with a calm voice, “the extinction of humanity, Mr. president?”
“You saw what's inside these gates just like me, can we survive being attacked from every side if these creatures managed to get out?”
….
As the president returned to his office and asked the Chief of protocol to arrange the call, he said quietly “no, we can't survive”

The 8 newbies stayed for 6 days until they all leveled up and left, they tried to enter the level 1 hallway, but I stopped them, after all, I want them to fuck off so I can buy new things.
The first thing I did was to buy 2 more slime facilities (F rank), for 240 points, however when I bought the first one I was surprised to see that I didn't need to assign a place for it, but it immediately merged with the old one, and I received a message that the slime facility efficiency and defense was increased, so I bought the 2nd one and the same message appeared.
So I found out that when buying the same facility twice, their characteristic increase, and don't duplicate, at least for the current facilities.
Then I spent 95 points to upgrade the dungeon, and currently I'm getting 2.8 points per hour.
-life is good, I'm developing well according to the plan, and honestly, I should thank that dungeon master in Paris, he speeded up my plans quite well, after all if he didn't send a subordinate outside so soon, then I would have to wait 3 months for dungeon masters to be able to send 3 subordinates at once, which will be enough to lead a small army.-
Currently, only one subordinate of level 1 can be sent outside a dungeon, that's the system limit, and dungeon masters aren't stupid, they know that if they sent someone out to kill everyone, then the security will be tighter next time, and if the subordinate go far enough from the dungeon they might just die before they could come back to the dungeon.
Subordinates are too important and expensive to use them recklessly like that. So I haven't seen a dungeon master send a subordinate outside yet except for the Paris dungeon, so some other dungeons probably went unnoticed by me and the humans.
That's when I heard Sylvan screaming while playing on his phone.
I sighed and asked, “hey buddy, do you miss beating hunters?”
He answered me with sadness in his eyes, “I told you before I didn't enjoy beating ants, and I won't miss it.”
I smirked, “for some reason I don't buy it, by the way, when do you think they will come back here.”
Sylvan laughed and said, “have you seen the destruction caused by that trashy Doppelgängers? They lost 124 soldiers and had to use a short range missile just to kill him, They must be scared shitless now, we only have to wait, and they will be eating from the palm of our hand soon enough.”
