Even though Chumo knew the way, it still took them almost three hours to finally reach outside the main chamber.
The group had tried their best to break through the thousands of abyss creatures and believed the time it took them to reach this place wasn't bad at all.
However, as soon as they arrived at the main chamber, Klea froze and almost immediately sulked upon seeing the two figures in front of the chamber.
Annara and Atlas had reached the main chamber before they did, and judging from the two's carefree attitude, it seemed that they did not arrive recently.
"How did you two get here so fast!?" the girl asked in disbelief.
How did those two arrive so fast, when they encountered so many abyss creatures in the way!?
Looking at Klea's surprised look, Annara could not help but smirk in response.
"It's called skill, girl."
Unlike Klea, Emery was not really surprised by this turn of events. After all, his two teammates were also students of the privileged class. Atlas, in particular, had a test ranking of 16. Emery was sure that after his upgrade, the half-machine acolyte now had at least 300 points of battle power and a new ability of some sort.
The two girls were about to start arguing when, out of nowhere, the area faintly rumbled. The group immediately prepared themselves for battle, and sure enough, a horde of abyss creatures came out from the main chamber. Hundreds of stage 1 to 3 swarmed in, and further back, and they saw them: five hulking creatures stood in their midst.
[Ravager]
[Abyss creature - Stage 4]
[Battle Power: 210]
These hulking creatures were five-meter creatures with a body structure that looked like a dark beetle. Each of their steps brought a little tremor to the chamber. Even at first glance, their armored bodies seemed out of the ordinary.
Emery was ready to fight, but before charging forward, he asked Chumo to confirm if there were any hidden dangers within the chamber.
[Eye of Raven]
After a brief moment, Chumo confirmed there was indeed nothing else in the chamber except for the horde in front of them.
"521 Crawlers, 72 Lurkers, 21 Roaches and 5 of those Ravagers."
Now that everything was clear, Emery called on the group.
"All right, attack!"
When it came to charging into battle, Thrax was always the swiftest among them. With just one swing of his prided dark red glaives, he managed to stop the creatures' momentum and simultaneously killed a dozen Crawlers.
However, right after the gladiator finished swinging his glaives, a figure flew on top of him, instantly launching powerful blasts of lighting and fire at the horde of monsters.
[Tempest Flare]
Baaammmmm!
In just a second, a powerful offensive spell quickly melted half the creatures in the chamber, even forming a half-sphere crater as a result. This attack amazed Emery and the others, but unlike them, Thrax was irritated by it.
"Arghh!"
Unwilling to lose against the half-machine acolyte, the gladiator wildly charged forward and rushed towards one of the huge stage 4 creatures in the middle of the horde. With all the power he could put in one attack, he swung his heavy glaives.
[Battle Art: Heavy Smash]
Bammmm!
The three-meter beetle-like creature was instantly knocked down by his smash. However, contrary to his expectations, it only managed to create a shallow wound on the creature's body.
While Thrax was staring at the result of his attack, the creature quickly countered with a powerful blast of poison from its mouth. Fortunately, Thrax was able to dodge to the side, before smashing it another time.
Bammmm!
But he did not stop there. Immediately after, Thrax heavily swung his glaives toward one spot of the creature's armored body over and over again.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Even though it took some time, his barrage of attacks finally opened a visible crack in the creature's thick armor.
On the other hand, Annara flew directly toward another stage 4 creature, knowing it was the real tasty meal that gave a whopping 5,000 points. The moment the red-haired girl arrived above her target, she swiftly used her whip to hold the creature down, as she cast one of her best darkness-element magic spells.
[Desecrate]
The red-haired girl put both of her hands on the creature's back, within a second, the shell of the creature began to crumble from the inside as the creature writhed in pain.
"Curse magic!" Emery exclaimed, when he saw Annara's spell.
The huge creature raged out loud. It heavily flung around its body trying to get the red-haired girl off its back, but it only killed a dozen small crawlers around instead. The girl kept holding the whip tightly, and after a few seconds, it finally fell with dark ooze coming out from all over its body.
While the three were crazily charging toward the hordes of creatures, Klea and Chumo decided to use long-range attacks. With Klea's constant thunderbolt spells followed by her [Little Gungnir] and Chumo's group of 10 archers, the abyss creatures rushing towards them were swiftly killed in the dozens.
Emery himself had sent his [Mineralized Warriors] to support all of his 5 companions to make sure they did not act recklessly and get surrounded or cornered, but he also charged forward to give one of the stage 4 creatures a try.
He took out his savage blade, used [Blink] to appear right next to it, and started to slash at the creature multiple times to test its strength. It took him half a dozen slashes and one critical hit at the creature's eyes, before it finally fell motionless and died.
The group of six only needed roughly 10 minutes to clear up the main chamber.
After the group made sure that all the creatures were dead, they walked and approached the corner of the chamber and found a glowing boulder.
They could clearly sense energy emanating from the 4-meter-tall stone. It was a magical rune, the source of energy that brought these Abyss creatures to this place.
"I guess we just need to destroy this boulder," Annara said with a shrug.
The girl was ready to cast a spell to get the job done, when Emery suddenly gestured for her to stop.
"Don't! This is why we are here."
The red-haired girl looked at him with a visibly confused expression, but she stopped per his order and waited for him to continue.
However, Emery's next words shocked her.
"Thrax, Chumo, I want either of you to destroy this boulder instead."
The group quickly realized what Emery was trying to do and Annara inwardly cursed upon realizing it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Even though Chumo knew the way, it still took them almost three hours to finally reach outside the main chamber.
