Chapter 9: The Bell of Death
As Jenn had expected, Vilna's mercenaries swept the entire mausoleum, but nothing was found. Aside from the tattered pots and pots and bloodstains, there wasn't even a single gray dwarf corpse here. It's not at all in line with the heavy casualties that the gray dwarves said before.
But the more this happened, the more nervous Vilna became, and Jenn had already noticed the gaze she had cast at him more than once. Obviously, the dark elf also felt that something was wrong, but even so, Werna had no intention of evacuating. She was now like a red-eyed gambler, putting all her chips into the last set. Either make a big profit or lose a lot.
Since Werner didn't take the initiative to ask for her to quit, Jenn naturally wouldn't force the other party to leave. For Jenn, these mercenaries were originally cannon fodder for themselves, and it doesn't matter if they don't, it's better if they do. As for Vilna's life or death, it has nothing to do with herself.
The mercenaries under her command returned again and again in vain, which obviously made Vilna very angry. She kept whipping the ground with a leather whip, making a crisp sound of "popping" to express her dissatisfaction. And those mercenaries didn't dare to take a breath, and rummaged through the cemetery containing the bones, but unfortunately, they just smashed the bones and smashed them, and they didn't find anything valuable.
Jenn had no interest in this farce, he just stood quietly with Enoa. Take a closer look at the hall in front of you. This is the most spacious part of the mausoleum and its centerpiece. But even here, there is nothing but the sarcophagus placed around it.
But with the help of the Banshee's scouting, Jenn has appeared, and there is indeed a passage to the bottom here. He had observed the traces left by the gray dwarves, and it was clear that they had opened Pandora's box somewhere in the first place, and released something they absolutely did not want to see.
And now, the box has been closed again.
But it's not that it can't be opened anymore.
The noise in his ears became louder and louder, and those half-orcs and bear goblins, who had been searching for no avail, had begun to wave their weapons in anger, smashing everything they could see in front of them. They toppled the sarcophagus and roared their weapons, smashing everything inside into pieces. The pain and futile anger of the previous raid had caused these men to lose their minds and once again show their ferocious and violent nature.
Neither Verna nor Jenn stopped the mercenaries from making their moves. The common sense of blasphemy against corpses does not exist in the underworld, for the creatures of the underworld, the corpse is just a prop, no different from the rotting tables and chairs, the worn-out swords and armor.
What's more, once you've smashed these things, you don't have to worry about running into enemies you never want on your way back.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ..............."
Just as another bear goblin pushed an erected sarcophagus to the ground, suddenly, there was a dull roar in the hall. Hearing this voice, the mercenaries who had been frantically destroying before were suddenly taken aback, and they quickly gathered and came to Jenn and Werna's side, looking around vigilantly.
This time, though, there were no traps and no attacks. Amidst the rumbling roar, the walls that had seemed to be tightly sealed began to rise gradually. Soon, a pitch-black, naturally formed cavern appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared.
Pandora's box, opened.
The howling cold wind blowing from the depths of the cave made many people shiver slightly, but for those species with a keen sense of smell, it meant more.
"There's blood!"
A bear goblin rubbed his nose and spoke loudly to Werna.
"There have been battles in it, dead bodies, a lot!!"
"Whoa, oh, oh!!"
At the same time, suddenly, a strange roar sounded, and immediately after, everyone saw a little scarlet light emerge from the depths of the dark cavern. And it didn't take long for dozens of low figures to emerge from it.
"It's a gray dwarf!!"
After seeing the enemy's figure clearly, everyone was surprised. I saw that these gray dwarves who emerged from the cave had red eyes, and they raised their battle axes as if they were crazy, and the whole person pounced on the mercenaries in front of them like a whirlwind.
When encountering the surprise attack of the gray dwarves, the mercenaries also raised their weapons in anger and moved forward to meet the enemy.
Soon, the knives and axes intersected.
As the fiercest race in the underground, the power of bear goblins and orcs should not be underestimated. The utterly berserk orcs roared and swung their greatswords, slicing the Grey Dwarves' ealal-raised battle axes in half, along with their bodies. The bear goblin wielded a flail and swept through the air with a whistling whistle, smashing the grey dwarves besieging them one by one.
However, these gray dwarves are not easy to mess with, their short stature allows them to dodge most attacks, and when they reach the enemy's side, they can cut off their legs with a single axe, and then the mercenaries who fall to the ground will not even have the slightest chance to resist, and they will be completely smashed and cracked.
For a time, the two sides fell into a scuffle.
"I knew it......... There will definitely be trouble. ”
Looking at the gray dwarf who pounced on him with his battle axe held high, Jenn even sighed leisurely. Of course, he saw how difficult the gray dwarves in front of him were, and the bloodshot, almost dazzling red eyes of his opponent also proved the true identity of these gray dwarves. It is clear that they have completely turned into puppets of others.
"It seems that this time, you need some strong medicine........."
As he muttered to himself, Jenn stretched out his hands, and soon, two strange symbols appeared on the back of his hand, and then, the beating thunder and lightning suddenly exploded, roaring forward and slamming down on the gray dwarf's body. In the blink of an eye, countless arcs of lightning erupted from it, binding the gray dwarf's body like ropes. Then a raging flame rose from the ground, engulfing the gray dwarf in an instant.
After hitting the target, the jumping thunder flew to the side without the slightest stop, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that Jenn's eyes had completely turned into a sea of thunder and flames. All the gray dwarves were struck down by lightning and then burned by the flames until there was nothing left left.
However, this did not make the other attackers retreat in the slightest, and the gray dwarves, who had been transformed into undead, rushed forward without fear. Seeing this, Jenn frowned slightly, and then took a few steps back.
Unlike the magic of this world, Jenn's magic comes from the dungeon system, and although it has the benefit of being powerful and widespread, it is not completely without flaws. As a mage with only two spells, Jenn had to endure the constraints of cooldowns. The cooldown of a spell is ten seconds, and it can be said that during this period, Jenn himself has no combat power to speak of.
Fortunately, however, he was not alone.
As Jenn retreated, Enoa appeared in front of him, the thunder whip in his hand turning into an indestructible power grid, stubbornly resisting the further attacks of the gray dwarves.
Elsewhere, the fighting continues. Naturally, the dead gray dwarves are not afraid of death. But it's not that difficult for strong bear goblins and orcs either. They relentlessly brandished the heavy weapons in their hands, smashing everything they saw in front of them to pieces. For a while, all kinds of crashing sounds, roars and screams filled the hall in front of him, stirring up all the chaos. And almost no one appeared, and at this time, the dark shadow in the originally open hole began to gradually distort and deform.
"Huh?"
Just after releasing the flames again to wipe out the gray dwarf in front of him, a strange shadow suddenly swept into the corner of Jen's eyes, and he hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the black shadow, and then suddenly startled.
At the same time, in the heavy shadow of the cave, four or five thin tentacles suddenly stretched out, and they rushed towards a half-orc. The half-beast mercenary who was fighting the gray dwarf was completely unaware of the attack from overhead, and just as he swung his greatsword again to swing away from the enemy's attack, the pitch-black tentacles had already flown down from behind, wrapped heavily around his neck.
Sensing this sudden attack, the half-beast mercenary was also taken aback, but before he could struggle, he hung down as if he was anesthetized. Then the dark tentacles lifted forward. The next moment, the half-beast mercenary was quietly grabbed and flew towards the depths of the cave.
Want to run?!
Seeing this, Jenn's eyes also lit up, and then he quickly stretched out his hand and waved it forward. Soon the next moment, a dazzling white lightning whistled through the air and slammed down on the pitch-black tentacles. With a strange and miserable cry, the dark tentacle curled up under the burst of lightning and retreated, and it just threw down the hapless half-beast mercenary, and then quickly disappeared into the depths of the cavern.
"Master? What is that? ”
At the same time as Jenn attacked, Enoa also saw the monster. It's just that because she wants to protect Jenn, she can't deal with the other party. Seeing the black tentacle fleeing at this moment, she asked with some concern.
"I don't know."
In the face of Enoya's inquiry, Jenn shook his head.
"But, I believe, it's at the heart of this adventure."
As he spoke, Jenn looked at the system in front of him again, where a line of system prompts was floating quietly.
