"groan!!!...."
Dexter's hand reached the opening of the well, and he strained it down trying to drag himself up.
"kids, go ahead first. I am losing strength and don't have much of it to lift all three of us up".
While Dexter was hanging unto the well's opening, Dana and Nadea crawled from his back, passing through his head and when they were almost to the top, they stood up and jumped off of his back.
With Dana and Nadea off him, Dexter now has the strength to pull himself up the outer space of the well. Once he got out, he layed his body down to rest.
"mister, the wound is bleeding".
Nadea called Dexter's attention to the open wound at the side of his stomach that is now bleeding.
"it must have opened up after the heavy strain I put on it while climbing my way up".
Dexter drew his attention to the wound to see that its surface had enlarged than it formerly was, and droplets of blood was now coming out from it.
He forced himself to get up despite the pain throbbing in his sides.
"mister, you should rest some more or the wound wil....."
"i don't need to repeat myself to you kid, I already said I will live. Warning the city is a much more important job than how I feel right now".
"come on kids, I need your help".
Dana and Nadea moved over to Dexter and rested his hand on their shoulder to assist him in walking.
The three sluggishly headed for the Dungeon's entrance with Dexter hoping to get to the city in time.
'The guild has to know about this. Dexter thought, readying to sacrifice his life to the wound as long as it gets him to the city in time for him to explain to them what lies within this dungeon.
With endurance and dedication, they safely got to the entrance without encountering another monster along the way. Dana and Nadea, still had to help Dexter as he was now unable to walk by himself due to the wound getting worse.
They helped him walk down the entrance stairs and headed in the direction the city was.
"mister, I think there is someone at the front".
Nadea said, pointing in the direction they were walking to, and at the figure that just stood still like a statue.
Dexter raised his head to where Nadea was pointing to, and truly, he did see a figure.
'how weird. Dexter thought after seeing a dummy figure standing in the road leading to a Dungeon.
A figure that wasn't there to begin with back when they were headed into the Dungeon.
"come to think of it, where is the man that checked your passes when you all were entering the Dungeon?...."
Dexter asked, turning his head backwards to look at the building outpost at the side of the dungeon.
Normally, the man should have come running to him after seeing the condition he is in, but none of such happened.
"i will go and check".
Dana, left Dexter alone with Nadea as she ran over to the outpost to confirm if the man was there or not. She went into the one man sized building and came running out not long after.
Dexter already got his answer after seeing Dana making her way to them alone.
"no one is there".
Dana said, after she had gotten closer to Dexter.
"It seems so. It looks like everything isn't right in here".
Dana took hold of Dexter's hand, and walked him over to where the dummy was standing.
"that isn't a dummy".
It was not until Dexter had gotten closer to the dummy that he was able to make out the figurine and saw that it was a real life person standing there.
They got even closer, and this time Dexter could tell that it was the guild leader of Edevin that was standing still, with the body of four other men laying on the ground beside him and all blacked out.
"why is the guild leader here?".
The guild leader has absolutely no reason or cause to be here as a figurine much less the outside of a low level dungeon. If he wanted to go into a Dungeon, Dexter was pretty sure that Edevin city is surrounded by higher level dungeons than the one they entered.
"unless....., take me closer to the guild leader".
Dexter urged the kids. There was something he wanted to confirm by having the guild leader in an eye to eye range.
"as I thought. He is trapped in his subconscious state of mind. That must mean?..., the monster, it has made his way out the Dungeon".
Being up close the guild leader, Dexter was able to discern what sort of condition he has been put into. He clenched his fist and punched Ricus right in the face.
Its one of the easiest way to wake up someone trapped in a self made illusion, by making them respond to an external stimulus, much like when one is in a deep sleep.
Ricus was pushed back by Dexter's punch, and his eye duct that had gone lifeless was restored back to its color.
"urghugh....., what happened".
Putting his hand on his head and trying to recollect his memories of why he was sitting on the ground.
"we should be the one asking, why are you here and where is the monster".
"Monster?!!...., that's right, the monster. We planned on going to scout out the Dungeon when I blacked out?., the rest of the troops?...., what happened to them".
"what troops, you and the four men on the ground are the only people we have seen so far since coming out of the dungeon".
"no..., there are more. About five thousand of them, dispatched to stop the monster".
"five thousand?....., if it's true, then where are they now?..."
Ricus turned his head backwards, both straining their eyes to see further in front of them.
"no...., it cannot be....., that is impossible".
Where the only words that could come out of Ricus's mouth as his gaze was layed upon the layers of body stacked on each other on the ground.
"all five thousand of them......, all down".
