As Alex went all-out earlier, half of the hall was demolished. The large door and floors that were used to cover up the stairwell vanished, which was why Alex spotted it easily. He couldn't help but feel curious about the information he received from that young man. He wanted to see what kind of person was able to resist the invasion of Chaos. Shortly after, he descended the
stairwell.
The secret room below wasn't hard to find, especially after Alex wreaked havoc above. He reached the bottom of the stairwell and saw an opened room with the woman he was looking for. Just like other primitive men, she was also imprisoned inside a nourishment cabin. The turbid aura was apparently much stronger than the rest. But what surprised Alex was that this wasn't just the power from that mysterious aura, but from the woman instead.
He thought she was also a half-creature like other primitive men. But after seeing her for himself, he discovered that she was like a perfectly normal human. She had smooth, pitch-black long hair and a fair complexion. Her exquisite facial features weren't any different from humans. At that moment, her eyes were closed as though she were dead. If it weren't for her slightly undulating chest, perhaps Alex would have thought she was just a corpse.
"Hmm?"
Shortly after, he felt like something was amiss. He couldn't help but twitch his brow curiously. Although the woman was right before him, Alex couldn't feel her aura at all. He felt the power of Chaos and the presence of elements around her, but just couldn't sense her presence. It was as though a large hole was in the place she was in and apart from the feeling of nothingness, there was no other physical presence.
"What do you think about it, Sil?"
Alex stretched out his arm, gazed at the woman, and said softly. Upon hearing his doubt, Silveria let out a sigh.
[I'm not sure but this person, well her state is weird.) "Huh?"
Upon hearing her response, Alex twitched his brows. Just as he was about to question, Scarlet's anxious voice sounded in his head all of a sudden.
"This is bad, my lord, that creature is starting to move!"
Alex frowned, he had thought he could achieve his goal here and return without waking up that creature sleeping but not it must be a wistful thinking.
"Relax, I'm on my way." Alex responded to the panicking Scarlett and he was about to leave for now.
Hum...!
At that moment, Alex suddenly heard a strange sound that startled him. He turned around and spotted the woman imprisoned in the middle cabin emanating brilliant rays.
The power of Chaos surged from above to below, surrounding the woman entirely and attempting to devour her as though it were conscious, turning her into a
presence of Chaos. But what shocked Alex was that upon facing the erosion of Chaos, that woman didn't have any reaction at all. On the contrary, the men here who couldn't resist the invasion of Chaos had as though turned into monsters injected by a virus. The surging power of Chaos encircled her violently and yet, failed to take over her body. Not only that, but the woman also erupted brilliant white rays from her body that instantly converted the turbid power of Chaos into something different!
Who is she?
"Do you know what that power is?"
[Not really, I'm surprised she could resist chaos corruption. Maybe she has a special constitution making it capable of accomplishing this feat. My sister might know something but recently she seemed to be busy with something. Silveria responded, her response wasn't what he expected but it doesn't matter.
"Forget it, no matter what she is, let's head out first."
The trembles underneath his feet became even more violent. Alex realized that the situation was turning worse. He no longer had the time to discuss with Silveria about the background of that mysterious woman. However, since the woman was able to turn Chaos into a new power Alex decided to name Order, she would be considered someone on their side. Without much hesitation, he smashed the cabin before him and swiftly rescued the woman. At that moment, he heard vague bellows from ferocious beasts. It went without saying that the creatures completely modified by the power of Chaos were ready to attack. Alex concealed his strength no more. He dashed ahead in a ray of dazzling light, bursting through the steel wall of the tower with the woman in his arms.
"Sir Overlord!"
"Leader!"
The instant he darted out, he spotted the others who were sprinting toward the door. In order not to draw attention Alex came here with a small group, the group was moving quickly. Meanwhile, the lava surrounding them was constantly boiling. The ground trembled and everything seemed like an omen of the end of the world. The group, which was searching for him, heaved a huge sigh of relief upon seeing him. Shortly after, they went up to him.
"Overlord, those people are being contaminated by the power of Chaos..."
Before the Regent right hand man could finished her sentence, Alex extended his arm and interrupted abruptly.
"I know, retreat immediately! Our goal isn't to fight. It doesn't matter to us what happens to this place. Everyone, head to the door now. After Marybeth opens it, we will leave right away!"
Alex tossed the woman on his shoulder over to Erie. Erie caught the seemingly-asleep woman and couldn't help but feel shocked.
"This woman is already dead. My lord, why are you..."
"There are some interesting secrets about her. Bring her along. We're leaving this place now!"
Upon realizing the terrible situation, Alex gave his command and dashed toward the door.
The situation was horrible. It went without saying that thing sleeping in the depth of the magma now awake would stay idling and let Alex's group leave. He had to buy them some time and as if to confirm Alex's guess, it happened.
Boom!
All of a sudden, yet another wave of violent rumbles sounded. In an instant, gravel and sand fluttered in the air. In this enormous impact, the underground cave began to show signs of collapse. Alex grimaced as he witnessed the white walls turning black under the erosion of Chaos. He was familiar with this scene because not too long ago, that creature also used this method to forcefully open up the door. And now, he wouldn't be that foolish to think that the creature was kind enough to open the door and let him escape.
Indeed, as darkness penetrated deeper, the runes appearing one by one and circling the door became slower in speed, where some had even come to a halt. Marybeth closed her eyes and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. It was obvious that she was facing a huge and stubborn resistance.
Looking at this scene, Alex grunted and turned to Scarlet quickly.
"Will you be able to hang on?"
"We're trying, but it is really strong!"
"In that case, stop restraining it and begin to attack!"
Upon hearing Scarlet's answer, he gave a decisive command. He initially decided to let them manipulate the lava and restrain the creature until Marybeth opened the door for them to escape.
"Got it!"
Although Alex's voice sounded rather unclear, at that moment, Scarlet displayed their great camaraderie with him. She yelled in unison and raised het arms, extended forward! Along with this movement, the surging lava lake split to two. Then, the true identity of that mysterious shadowy creature lurking in the deep lava was finally revealed before their eyes!
"What in the world? That thing is so damn disgusting!"
Although he had witnessed several types of tentacles and was more or less mentally prepared, after seeing the creature for himself, he couldn't help but feel nauseous. Fortunately, he didn't have any food earlier. If not, he would have thrown up by now.
What displayed before everyone was an enormous, black, slimy creature. At a glance, it was like a puddle of melted jelly that coagulated again. After being left untouched for a long time, it turned into rotten trash. It was so revolting that one had a hard time looking straight at its huge body of layering black and deep green colors. Not only that, but all sorts of eyes had also covered its body. The innumerable eyes widened from the slippery body, glaring at the group. The Chaos aura dispersed, causing their hearts to palpitate with terror.
"Ooo---!!"
In an ear-deafening roar, tentacles shuttled out of its body and lashed at the group standing around the door.
"Half Dragon Mode!"Novel Fire - novelfire.net
Dark crimson aura surrounded Alex's body as uttered those words. He turned into a humanoid dragon. Two horns appeared above his head, his hair elongated, vivid crimson, his pupils turned into a golden slit. He had a dark tail sprouting from his back.
The others were shocked by the sudden transformation but Alex didn't give them the time to question him before opening his mouth.
Boom!
The exploded dragon breath blasted the body of that massive Chaos creature. This formidable might was so unbearable that it forced the creature to screech in retreat. Several tentacles that were about to attack Marybeth were burned to bits by the blazing heat.
Countless dragon breaths were fired at the creepy tentacles monster reducing it to miserable state. Using this opportunity Marybeth created the portal which the group used to leave before everything crumbled.
Alex was the last to pass through the portal and before he completely vanish he extended left arm and summoned Nyx, and fired a death bullet.
"The End!"
Bang!
The creepy monster who thought it might survive died under the Death bullet.
