So, this is the last part (not chapter!) of Volume 1 and, frankly, I'd like to know how do you expect I'll finish this~ 

If you are curious, I have all planned out till the end of Volume 4, so for now there's no shortage of ideas lol

Also, thanks to pally320 now I got Hyria's map lol:

I decided to show where all the queendoms of the eastern part of the continent are cause those are spread around, even though I still haven't decided on their name and they will not be mentioned till next vol or vol 5/6

----------------------------------------

Every 5 meters or so a lit torch hung on the wall, leaving only a bit of darkness in the paths of this floor. The ground was barely visible as it was covered in sand, but you could see the occasional broken bones, pebbles and severed (and dried) limbs. On the sides there were two rows of "resting places," which went from one end of the wall to the other, with various bodies placed in. It was not possible to distinguish the corpses' gender nor the age at which they died, but you could clearly know who was an adult and who was no more than a kid at the time of their death.

Every path was 6~7 meters wide and the estimated measurements of each floor was 10 km X 7 km with an height of 4 meters. It was a really big labyrinth and fortunately Bathory and Kaine knew the right way, but the disconcerting thing was the amount of corpses present. An entire civilization was resting in this catacomb.

Aisha and Matagi formed one party, while Bathory and Kaine another. They weren't divided like this only so that the two high-leveled players wouldn't get what little exp the mobs could offer them, but also because the difference between the two groups was to great to make a party.

While they walked around the first floor of the crypt, they could see the members of Oblitus Mori working hard on milking the dungeon dry. Almost every mob was busy fighting them, and the few mummies (they weren't really mummies, as they weren't mummified, but just dried moving corpses, really close to skeletons) that Aisha and Matagi managed to get, would die in one or two hits.

Bathory was maintaining her calm, but she still was a tad annoyed at the situation on hand. Matagi instead was grinding her teethes, she was angry about the fee thingy and now what was happening seemed to her like the Oblitus guys were taunting them. Kaine had nothing to do, as the traps were seemingly already all deactivated. With half-closed eyes Aisha observed her companion.

'I suppose, this is what I should do.'

Aisha brought a hand on Matagi's cheek, making everyone stop, used that to bring her face closer and then Aisha kissed Matagi on the forehead. Matagi was totally surprised from this, not only because of the situation, but also because she didn't expect Aisha to ever take the initiative in their relationship. Kaine remained unfazed while Bathory let out an "Oh my!"

After the kiss, Aisha walked to the nearest group of Oblitus Mori members.

Players and mobs alike froze. The guys from OM tried to see who or what caused this situation, and only some managed to see as they were mostly facing toward the mobs. As they tried to speak or contact the other players they were surprised to see that they could not.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Aisha didn't waste time, using Sprint she used her daggers to efficiently cut the throats of the nearest 7 players. Two didn't die on the spot, but they had the hex bleed so Aisha dismissed them. She had a tight schedule, so she ignored the mobs that would stay frozen for only another 15 seconds, and ran to the remaining 4 players. They glared at her, but she didn't care and just cut their throats too before using Sprint again to distance herself from the place.

When the mummies began moving again, every player they were previously fighting was already dead. Matagi and Bathory were slack-jawed while Kaine was mildly surprised. An hard man to please.

Above Aisha's head, her level flashed red, the sign of a PK.

"Let's go Matagi. We now have some mobs to kill."

At her uncaring attitude, Matagi replied with a slight bow of her head saying "Yes, Milady."

This time, it was a bit harder to kill the mummies, since they had more health left, but they still managed to wipe them out and ding some level in the process. Afterwards, Bathory and Kaine helped looting everything, players included.

The group didn't go out of their way to clear the entire floor, staying only on the right path, but they did not make a distinction between players and mobs as they mowed down everybody. From the second group onwards, it was not Aisha but Kaine who killed them all. Using stealth, he didn't even take one minute to kill every Oblitus Mori guy. Even if you were over level 200, if you killed another player, your level would flash red above your head, meaning our level would be revealed to everyone. As to why he was doing this, Bathory just used the same excuse she used while they came here, only adding that this time it was Kaine's turn.

By the time the group began to kill the players of the second floor, it seemed like they were somewhat warned, but it didn't matter as they all were below level 100. They were divided in two, one group would attack Aisha, Matagi, Bathory and Kaine, while the other desperately tried to kill every mob.

On the third floor there were fewer members of Oblitus Mori, but there were no mobs, so Bathory just let Aisha and Matagi be the ones to kill them. This repeated for another two floors until on the sixth there were no more members of OM, thus they calmly proceeded to kill all the mobs that were on the right path for the staircase to the next floor.

The seventh and eighth floor were the same, so Bathory decided to stop with Kaine in front of the staircase to the ninth floor with the reasoning

"Originally, us two would've remained outside while you two cleared this dungeon, so we are going to stay here and prevent any other people to continue forward."

And so Aisha and Matagi descended to the next floor alone. On the ninth floor they had to deal with the sneak attack from Shadows, the head on battles with groups of skeletons and slimes. The slimes weren't a threat, but the fact that they stayed spread out on the ground, that they were almost, if not completely, transparent and that once they stepped in it, the slime would render them unable to move from that spot as either skeletons or Shadows attacked them.

As the two neared the staircase, they too knew the way, a message popped up in front of Aisha.
