Chapter 67: Widow’s Crypt III (2/2)
There were sothat it would work out fine, and that I could handle it Was I treating this life I had right now for granted? Being fortunate enough to have this ae definitely ree
No longer a king, tied down by rules and politics as well as my own physical capabilities, I'd become careless In this world, the lie or even further wasn't a drea that appalled me the most and what I hated to admit was that I was, in a sense, a bit like Lucas I was nowhere near as much of a jerk as him and I had people I actually cared for besides ant to the extent of carelessness
"I-I don't knohat you just did, Arthur, but I feel great I think I'll be able to go intothrough as he began to transition into his first phase
Mana fluctuated erratically around him as he released his beast will I jerked my hands back in pain as Curtis released his first phase Confused, I tried transferring ain but the rejection froer than the first time
Did the mana from his beast will reject ain, Curtis began gathering mana for his World Howl technique
He crouched, lowering his center of gravity to withstand the recoil of the spell, the athered in front of his open jaw
During this time, I rushed to where Tess was curled behind the front line and scooped her up Getting Tess out of here was first priority I was partly to bla so in the first place
With a beastly roar, Curtis unleashed his powerful breath attack, but thebecause it iet from the wounded Professor Glory to Curtis
"Oh no you don't!" Bellowing at the top of her lungs, Professor Glory leaped up and grappled theCurtis
With a thundering explosion, Curtis' spell blasted a large hole through the rubble, clearing a path to the now visible stairway entrance back to the surface
"Everyone, head to the stairs!" I roared through the sound of rocks falling and snarlers growling
"Go now!" Professor Glory shouted as well as she struggled to hold her own against the queen snarler
The exhausted class made one final push towards the entrance as Professor Glory held the queen at bay, the wall of snarler corpses obstructing the ones alive for a briefTess to you" I handed Tess to Claire, who seeht now
"You're not planning on staying, are you? You can't be serious As your co leader in the disciplinary coo…" With the li intent to gether flinch backwards in surprise
Helping the drained Curtis back to his feet, I pushed both of my disciplinary committee tea back to where Professor Glory was fighting
"Why the hell did you come back, Arthur?!" I could almost feel the amount of frustration in ritted teeth
"We're going to need both of us to kill this thing" Taking Dawn's Ballad back out fro, I unsheathed it
"You better hope this thing killsa blow from the queen's sharp claws
"Hey, I'ave her a weary s with ood, Arthur" She s her head The situation didn't seeood as the mana transference had made me use most of my otten backlash already
While battling the queen and keeping her busy enough so the rest of the class could get out safely, I noticed that the last one here was Lucas Our eyes locked for a brief moment before he turned his head back and disappeared into the entrance
I could've sworn I saw hiht continued, I s so it wasn't capable of flight any longer, but its thick fur was preventing us fro it shalloounds This s, was filled ounds from both Professor Glory and I, but it didn't seem to bother it at all
"I don't think we can kill this thing!" I shouted to Professor Glory, as on the other side of the queen snarler
"We'll need to at least bind it somehoe can escape I don't think the queen will follow us out of the dungeon!" she responded as the queen howled in anger
"I need you to keep it busy for five seconds, Professor" I repositioned myself so Professor Glory was in view
"Okay" She didn't question what I was about to do as she unleashed another burst of mana out of her core
As Professor Glory leaped toward theand grasped one, I used the last ofinto Dawn's Ballad
Without then and empower my movement, my dash toward the queen snarler felt like a crawl
"Move!" At nal, Professor Glory leaped out of the way as I stabbed ed to inflict just earlier between its shoulder blades
The crackle of electricity prying its way in through the seah-pitched shriek as she began to spas able to pull rabbed me by my waist and carried me toward the front entrance
As the hordes of h until we reached the front entrance
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed over us "H-How?" Professor Glory could only gasp as both of us looked up The queen, with h to
"Hurry!" I was currently dangling on top of my professor's shoulder as I tried to snap her out of her shock With the ed to avoid its sharp claws before she landed hard on the ground
Without the luxury to even look back, we made our way past the minions and into the hall when I spotted the uess e because it wasn't freelyits claws to drag its body
Reaching the end of the hall where the stairs began to ascend, I noticed so odd about the queen snarler that was just a couple meters away from us
Every bit of that mutated queen was odd, but this was different As it reached closer and closer to the top of the staircase, where ere, its face and body began pulsating Tu sporadically in random parts of its body and face
Don't tell ht, the queen burst apart in an explosion of guts, blood, and shards of exoskeleton
Before Professor Glory could even turn around, the force of the explosion pushed her forward, and she lost her grip on h, the explosion caused by the queen opened up a large hole beneath it
"Arthur!" Through gritted teeth, I heard my professor's desperate cry as she reached her hand out forweaker from the force of the queen's last desperate attempt
"Save Tess!" I called back out weakly before using the last bit of ment my body
