Damian ran out into the corridor, and with his shield, he was pushing through the rocks and dirt, but nothing was being effective. Even though he had spent a considerable amount of stamina and mana, it was obvious to everyone that there was only one way for the group to go. Sighing, Ryan said, "If you guys want to dig, you can stay with the whiny tank. I'll finish this challenge." The group just nodded, "This facility must have another escape route" Kodiak concluded, as he followed Ryan.
When Damian turned around, he found none of the group members. Tired and dirty with dirt, he took off running towards the rest of the group members "I'm not going to die alone in this shit". Leaving the initial room of that underground dungeon, the group of travelers found a room that looked like a place where the guards of that facility were supposed to stay. There were wooden beds chained to the walls, next to rusty iron spears of dubious quality.
However, the whole place felt a bit strange, the beds were smaller than a normal human bed. The largest bed must have been at most five feet long, the clothes and armor were evidently smaller and wider as well. "A dwarf base..." Kodiak said, as he rummaged through the room. There was some spoiled food and leftover meat on top of the table.
"Ice regions have several crystals, this must be a mining outpost" Nivia said, as she rummaged through one of the bags on the floor "If it's a mining base, it won't be a problem getting away from here" Ruri concluded, as she pulled the wooden planks off one of the beds that were stuck to the wall.
'Really? Dwarven boxes are considered junk loot'
At that very instant, Ryan's eyes were filled with hope and dreams. 'If you know how to use this... We can make unimaginable money' These kinds of items are sold in large quantities and usually only serve to have their mana extracted or to be used for decoration.
The shaman Ruri was watching Ryan's behavior closely, with a confused look on her face, she wondered 'Why is he so happy with magic dwarf boxes?' Giving a small laugh, she found his behavior a bit cute 'What an interesting newbie'.
There were only two doors in that room. The first led towards a room of chests, the door was open and that looked like a large warehouse, the other door led towards what looked like a much larger hall. A crude iron double door was ajar, making it impossible to fully see what was in front of it. "The room is empty, we can move forward" Ruri said, as she ordered the ice elemental to move forward again.
The group nodded, but Roy took a different choice. The red-haired boy entered the warehouse, and in the same instant, received an arrow in the shoulder. The shot was so fast that he had no time to react, only feeling the hot blood flowing out of his body, as his armor was painted an intense color of red.
Within seconds, an iron cage descended through the door. Causing Roy to be trapped in that room, the panther Snowy was biting the iron bars, trying to cut with her own teeth, but this was not being effective.
Another arrow was shot, this time it hit the hunter in the middle of his belly. The arrow pierced his body from side to side, causing him to spit up some blood. Then another arrow flew towards Roy, hitting his arm from side to side and piercing part of his elbow. Tears were streaming down the red-haired boy's face, and he fell to the ground. He was panting, and his eyes were beginning to mist over from the loss of blood.
Within seconds Ryan appeared in front of the iron bars. And activating his demonic wings, he grabbed the two iron bars and pulled them with all the strength he possessed, taking advantage of his flying ability, he managed to free Roy.
*DUUUUM*
Ryan's body hit the other side of the wall, he had flown wildly across the room. Looking forward, he saw Roy lying on the floor, as a pool of blood poured out of his body.
*Another arrow flew, through the door, but this time it went straight out, hitting the wall. The arrow came at least two feet away from Ryan.
"GO!" Ruri shouted, with all his energy. The ice spirit ran and was increasing in size, the creature stopped in front of Roy, protecting him from the arrows that kept coming out of that room.
The white panther Snowy was lying next to that hunter, licking the boy's face as tears came down from that archer's already clouded eyes. "Snowy, I'm fine" he said, *cof* some blood came out of his mouth as he coughed almost choking.
Across the room, Nivia ran towards Roy, the girl knelt down and pulled out the arrow that was in his chest. "I'm going to have to deactivate the mirror. Everyone stay at your posts, I'm going to channel the healing into it" The group nodded and then, she began to conjure healing magic into him.
Ryan stepped forward and knelt in front of him, placing one of his hands on the hunter's shoulder, he activated his 'Healing Hands' skill. "I'm not such an efficient healer, but maybe this will relieve you a bit kid"
Roy's blood and wounds and his bleeding improved a little. Kodiak looked into Ryan's eyes, and the two understood what they should do. Activating the teleport, they sent the hunter and his panther back to the guild base.
