98 Chapter 98

Acht looked at the substance that got stuck to his leg and touched it carefully. It didn't seem to be harmful or poisonous so that was not a problem at the moment. What caught his attention, however, was the fact this substance was eerily similar to the saliva of a human.

It wasn't even a similarity in a few components or forms. It was as if he literally stepped inside the mouth of a…monster.

The realization hit him hard as his eyes widened like two full moons and he looked at Leislet agitatedly.

She also seemed to have thought of the same crazy theory he had in his mind. It was so weird and unexpected that many would consider it stupid. But, what they were seeing at the moment might actually be the first even dungeon that is the boss itself.

Acht then shifted his eyes to look at the horizon as he enhanced his eyes to the maximum. His blue soul force made it even easier to see far into the distance.

That's when another realization struck him like a rushing bullet train. He immediately shouted.

"The ground is inclining in the distance. The dungeon is not the boss but the monster is as big as this dungeon!"

"How is this possible?" Leislet muttered.

"We have no time to waste. Pick up everything and let's go. We might get eaten alive!!"

Leislet didn't waste time and immediately put everything in the spatial ring and ran in the opposite direction

As they ran as fast as they could, the ground behind them was going steeper and steeper. And while that made it easier for them to increase their speed, it also made it hard to keep their balance with each passing moment. Not to mention the saliva that kept sticking to their legs and made them exercise double the effort to be able to move quickly.

The problem is that they don't know how big this monster's mouth is. It could be hundreds of kilometers long and they wouldn't even be able to live to see that if it was the case.

"Leislet. Can you feel where the densest energy force of the dungeon is?" Acht suddenly asked with a clear urgency in his voice.

She nodded her head and tried to sense it. Since she was way stronger than Acht, her soul sense was tens and even hundreds of times bigger than his.

As her senses spread across the dungeon, it didn't take her long to find what Acht was looking for. A huge amount of soul force was particularly accumulated in a certain area a few kilometers away from them.

She then looked at Acht and told him her finding.

"We need to go there. I have an idea but I don't know if it will work or not. We should first get out of this problem alive!" He shouted as he changed his direction into the area of the dense soul energy.

A few minutes passed as they ran like that and the ground had already bent by at least 45°. They were now basically climbing down a mountain rather than actually running which slowed them down considerably.

But, luckily enough, they were somehow close to that area from the start so it didn't take them that long to reach it.

When they were there, Acht had to pierce the ground with his sword and hold Leislet with him so they wouldn't fall down into the big hole in front of them.

Yes, what they found in that area was a huge hole that was the size of ten times Leislet's mansion. It was akin to an oblivion that sent them to hell. There was also an extremely foul scent coming from it that would make anyone throw up.

Leislet grabbed tightly into Acht's hand and looked down at the hole and then up to see the mouth of the monster closing up on them.

"We need to jump inside that hole. It should probably send us to the monster's stomach. Stay close to me since I would make our landing more gentle with gravity manipulation."

Leislet nodded her head and then she hugged his neck to get a good grip on him.

Then, Acht released the sword and they started free falling into the hole.

"This better fucking work," Acht said as he closed his eyes from the strong breaths of the monster.

Eventually, the light from outside disappeared and what they were left with was total darkness that didn't seem to let them see anything.

Acht had to rely on his senses and guts to predict when they would reach the stomach so that he could time their landing perfectly.

Seconds passed as they fell down, Acht could feel the bad stench get stronger and stronger as they went down. He made use of this information too since it was very crucial.

Finally, 40 seconds in, he finally felt the change in the atmosphere around them. The weather became hotter and some kind of steam was touching their bodies.

"Leislet, make a light ball and throw it down. I will hold you tight while you do it." He asked her as he started channeling his soul force to the maximum. This was the first time he was using gravity on two people at the same time so he needed to be extra careful. He was gambling on his new blue soul force to make it work.

Leislet did so and threw the light bulb at his signal. The ball illuminated its surroundings and enabled Acht to see his surroundings for a brief moment. It was more than enough for him to locate what he was looking for.

"Get ready!" He shouted as he used his gravity manipulation.

A second later, a loud splashing sound echoed inside the monster's stomach and his stomach acid was perturbed.

The acid of this monster's body was so strong that it could turn a full human into nothing but bones in a matter of moments.
