Chapter 34: Chapter34-The Arrival of the BOSS?
Not only did the eerie red light blink, but a frantic ringing also began to resonate.
"What's happening?"
"Not good, there's danger, quickly protect the lady!"
The many servants quickly came to their senses, hastily shielding Caitlin and Howard.
They weren't fools; they could see clearly how much Caitlin cared for Howard.
Rather than being scolded first and then rushing to protect Howard, it was better to shield him outright.
However, as everyone was in panic, a thunderous noise echoed.
Turning their heads, they saw that where the stone door had originally been open, a gate forged of steel had descended, completely sealing the exit.
"Damn it, the button activated a trap!" Glyn lost his composure, regretfully saying, "I shouldn't have pressed that button!"
"It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, we would have tried to take the potions inside," Caitlin spoke without blaming Glyn. "These potions are the most important things here, anyone coming here would think of taking them away. We must break this mechanism!"
Hearing this, Howard couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows.
Caitlin didn't blame Glyn, showing her mature worldview and psychological readiness. n).0velbIn
Yes, Caitlin spoke the truth.
Whoever came here, as long as they intended to take the potions, would have pressed the button.
It could be said that this was not a trap, but a test for taking the potions.
The only concerns were the difficulty level of this test and... whether the Extraplanar creature had infiltrated the vicinity.
However, while Howard and Caitlin could understand this, some of the students who had been looked after by Glyn before cast blameful eyes upon him.
Although they masked it well, Glyn was over thirty levels above them and had experienced numerous battles; how could he fail to notice?
This left Glyn feeling deeply chilled, yet he was somewhat grateful that not everyone was blaming him.
Just as Glyn was pondering how to break the deadlock, a crisp noise abruptly rang out.
Everyone was given a huge scare, lifting their heads to see, starkly visible, the glass containers in the room shattering one after another.
As liquids of various colors poured out, dense smoke began to billow from the ground.
"It's not good, those liquids have a strong corrosive capability."
"Quick, find higher ground, or get away from those glass containers!"
At this moment, Glyn's leadership abilities were brought to the fore.
Regrettably, the fluids flowed exceedingly quickly, and moreover, the bodies that fell from the glass containers astonishingly struggled to their feet.
A monster resembling an octopus, its body covered in tentacles, lacking skin and exhibiting only flesh, and smeared with those liquids, rapidly charged towards Howard and the others.
As it dashed furiously, it flung the liquids in every direction.
"Ah!"
Witnessing this scene, many of the female students, save for Abby, were terrified to the point of losing their color, screaming and retreating.
A few servants furrowed their brows, just about to step forward and block the tentacled monster with their bodies, when a fierce blaze suddenly erupted.
Accompanied by a resonant dragon's roar, a fire dragon, under Howard's control, spewed a jet of flame, instantaneously engulfing the tentacled monster.
In the blink of an eye, all the liquids were evaporated by the intense heat.
Even the fluids flowing on the ground not far away were giving off smoke.
As the flames dissipated, the tentacled monster lay on the ground, its body blackened, but its tentacles were still writhing; it wasn't completely dead.
"Phew, that was close."
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Howard there, it seemed that the liquids couldn't threaten them.
For a moment, numerous students, both male and female, gathered around Howard.
They all wanted to survive!
Several female students even looked as if they were ready to strip off their clothes, revealing their fragrant shoulders and pristine arms, exhibiting a pitiful demeanor.
Caitlin couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger, yet at this moment, she had no time to concern herself with that, her gaze firmly fixed on the shattered glass containers.
Sure enough, it wasn't just one or two corpses that had resurrected; whether humanoid or bizarre monsters, all that had fallen to the ground from the containers were reviving.
Seemingly sensing the strength of Howard and the others, they did not launch a direct attack, instead gathering together.
Moreover, crisp sounds continued to resonate one after another, as more and more glass containers shattered.
"We can't just sit here waiting to die." "Once all the monsters resurrect, it will be dangerous."
Caitlin gritted her teeth, saying, "We must kill the monsters here before all the containers break. Darling, it seems there is a need for you now."
Hearing this, Howard nodded slightly.
He wasn't foolish; since the team was in danger, it was time to act.
Now wasn't the time for disputes or arguments.
After everything was over, he could always ask for more spoils of war!
Seeing Howard nod in agreement, Caitlin no longer worried.
With a light shout, she fiercely swung the blade in her hand.
Instantly, a silver-white wind blade emerged, resembling a tornado, charging towards the group of monsters at an extremely fast pace.
"Roar!"
Feeling the crisis, the group of monsters roared, launching their attack as well.
A monster resembling a hyena leaped out fiercely.
Just as it was about to collide with the wind blade, its mouth split open violently, gaping wide as it swallowed the wind blade in one gulp.
However, as soon as it landed, before it could take another step forward, its entire abdomen was torn apart like fabric, blood splattering in all directions instantly.
Clearly, although these monsters were bizarre, their attributes weren't particularly strong.
They were no match for Caitlin and Glyn.
Witnessing this scene, Glyn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Howard had already commanded the firedragon to fly out, and in a moment, the entire room was flooded with a blaze of firelight.
It morphed into fireballs, resembled meteor showers, or took the form of a sea of flames, ceaselessly scorching the swarm of monsters, eliciting shrill cries of agony from them.
However, they were astonishingly resilient.
No matter how many monsters were killed, even more would rise, launching themselves into the fray like moths to a flame.
What surprised Howard, Caitlin, and Glyn even more was that as the glass containers shattered one after another, the monsters that were subsequently released grew increasingly powerful!
What initially were easy kills for the trio turned into adversaries able to withstand several attacks.
Especially towards the end, the physiques of the monsters began to swell noticeably.
This discovery brought Howard, Caitlin, and Glyn together in close proximity.
They had a premonition that perhaps, the ultimate boss guarding these ruins was about to appear!
