Chapter 112 Rescue

"how could you have let this happen Dexter?, I thought you were watching the kids..."

"me?...., we were all assigned to watch them, so do not put the blame on just me".

"you were closer to them, while we were further away from them. You had a better grasp sight on them, you could have put it to good use".

"enough the both of you, arguing amongst ourselves won't solve anything now. What we need to focus on is finding those kids before anything bad happens to them".

"damn it, and I made sure to warn them enough to not venture out on their own, why won't they just listen".

Dexter said, disappointed that the children he thought he had lectured and gave a thorough bearing to, went behind his back and disobeyed his warning.

Even the date he had sealed with miss Aletta is now on the brink of collapsing thanks to their irresponsible actions.

After discovering that two kids were missing among the kids dealing with the rabbit, the Dire Hammer members quickly sprung into action.

They decided on going in to find the two missing, but while they were doing that, miss Aletta had to take the remaining children out of the dungeon.

Reasons for that being, the three members going further into the Dungeon while there would be no one left to watch over the kids except miss Aletta.

They couldn't take such chances of leaving miss Aletta alone with the kids knowing fully well how dangerous and unpredictable dungeons could be.

Thus they came to the decision of miss Aletta taking the kids out of the dungeon, while the three go search for Dana and Nadea.

Miss Aletta at first was not on board with the decision. She wasn't ready to leave the kids behind and prioritizing her own safety first. But after much convincing done by Dexter, she had no choice but to give in knowing it wasn't a decision made especially for her, but to assure the safety of the other kids.

The Dire Hammer members, left the safety of the students at the hands of miss Aletta with plans of putting an abrupt end to the exploration and immediately evacuating the Dungeon, while the three track down the missing kids.

Running hastily down the stairs leading to the lower floor with not a minute to be wasted, are the Dire Hammer members.

"damn it, I can't believe they came down this far without us noticing anything".

"its not entirely our fault, children of nowadays are just damn nosy and rebellious, thinking they know better than us when in fact, they know absolutely nothing. They deserve to be whipped till their butt bleeds out, only then will they learn".

"they can only be punished if they are safe. If something happens to them, the situation will not be a laughing matter, especially for us, this could ruin our records".

"we are not going to take the blame for this are we?...., I mean, we did warn them not to stray away from us, but they did not listen, we are not at any fault here".

"for someone whose beliefs in God is the foundation of your ability, you sure do care an awful lot about yourself more than anyone else".

"that's a given. I won't let some brats drag me down when they refused to listen to simple instructions".

"!!"

"what is it Dexter".

While they were running as fast as they could, Dexter suddenly stopped and stood still, with his face frowned.

"i can sense them, they are near and are in danger".

"what, then we have to hurry".

"It will be too late if we all match our pace, I will be going ahead first".

"wait....., going alone is not a...."

Dexter did not allow Riley to complete his words as he took off leaving the two behind.

"that blockhead, does he not know how dangerous it is to wander alone in a Dungeon".

"don't judge him too much. Let's run along and catch up with him".

The two continued on their pace with Riley taking the lead, and Caren not too far behind.

"what the hell do you kids think you are doing?, wandering away from the group and coming this deep into the dungeon".

With his speed, Dexter was fast enough to get to Dana and Nadea in time, saving them from being harmed by the monster by blasting its head off with his fist.

When he had taken care of the monster, he turned to Dana and Nadea who had their body shriveled up in fear.

"see, this is exactly why we didn't want you going somewhere else without our supervision".

Dexter couldn't bring out the harsh words he had thought of in his mind. When he saw the fear radiating off of the girls body, their face looking very pale and lifeless, covered in sweat that made it look like they had fallen into a stream.

Seeing them in such condition, Dexter threw away whatever harsh words he had earlier prepared and took to trying to console them.

"sigh...., kids really are troublesome to deal with".

Dexter couldn't move the girls due to the sensitive state they currently are in. The only one who can help them reverse their current state is Caren.

As a White mage, she can buff their mental strength to a point where they can withstand the bloodlust they had been exposed to.

He moved away from the kids, and closer to the monster to see what sort of monster it was that had them scared out of their wits.

"an Orc?".

Dexter looked at the monster's figure layed dead on the ground, and it matched the description of an Orc, a monster he was really familiar with during his early days of adventuring.

"no wonder you were rendered immobile. Orcs are one of the very few among the low ranking monsters with bloodlust toxic enough to render an E rank adventurer dead, and a D rank adventurer immobile".

"you should all be grateful you met with a kid Orc, if it was an adult Orc or higher, I would have met you both in an irreversible state".

"Dexter....."

Riley called out to Dexter from afar after he and Caren had gotten to his range of view.

"good thing you guys came early. Caren...., cast your buff on them to relieve them of the fear".

"i am not blind. I know what to do in a situation like this".

Caren moved towards the kids, ready to take away their fears with her skill, while Riley went ahead to meet with Dexter.

"what sort of monster is it".

He asked while walking his way up to where the monster laid.

"it's a Teen type Orc, probably around level twenty-three or lower".

"hmm..., that is close to it evolving to an adult Orc?....., these kids were lucky you came to them in time".

Riley bent his body down, matching the Orc's position and checking its body out.

"exactly what I told them. Caren, how far are you with the buff".

"i am done, but they won't be able to speak for a while".

"that's good enough. Let's get of out here".

"are you not going to dissect the body for its core".

"I don't have time for that. Their teacher is probably worried sick about them, I need to get them to her in time to calm her mood".

"someone is trying really hard".

"make fun of me all you want. I am just trying to give a presentable result on the job we are assig..."

The heat barged itself abruptly into the floor, embracing the members of The Dire Hammer. The hair on their skin that had fallen deep into slumber, suddenly arose with an heavy warning, personally dragged up by the bad omen encompassing the three adventurers.
