"Yuck! We are stepping in this mass of flesh all this time?!" Shana writhed in disgust as she lifts her shoes and sticky liquid sticks on the sole of it causing her to rub her arms as goosebumps are showing up on her skin.
"I see. So we have been deceived since the beginning that we are in a proper underground hallway, we are in fact in a place where a combined flesh and bones are covering the whole walls and floor. Disgusting bastards..." Lucia can only curse as she was supposed to be detecting anomalous activities and yet she failed on doing so.
"I didn't know you have an illusion destroyer spell, Tina. That saved us a lot of time," I handed Tina a mana potion which she immediately chugged down.
"No need to thank me, Master. It's just a pure coincidence that my assumption is indeed right and I never expected anything like this would happen either."
"Still, it was great, Tina-san. You have allowed us to see the true nature of where we are, allowing us to avoid getting close to the walls. We would have fallen prey to these walls if we get too close to them," Gin complimented Tina.
"Let's all hurry. Whatever is causing this has a big intention of spreading it up to the surface. I can assume that the reason it hasn't spread out that far just yet is because of the maturation state of the fleshy things. It didn't reach full maturity which is why we have to hurry up before this thing fully matures and it won't be long before it will engulf the whole city!" Atlas pulled out his greatsword and rush deeper.
We followed suit and despite having a hard time running due to the floor made of flesh, we at least managed to keep on walking on its surface without being stuck on it.

We soon arrived in a bigger room where a big chunk of flesh is currently standing up in the middle of the room. Judging from the shape, it looks like they are cocoons, and perhaps my assumption is correct as the tracker is beeping wildly on those flesh cocoons.
"Lucia! Burn that fleshy mass!"
"Got it!"
She gathered a large set of flames on both of her palms and her red hair started to glow brightly red.
"Turn into ashes!"
The flames engulfed the cocoons and the burnt smell of flesh emanated around us. The flesh cocoons also fell to the fleshy floor with burnt covers. Gin was about to approach it when Atlas stopped him from getting close and Tina immediately swipes her hands, releasing mana threads similar to Cotton's web threads. They might be similar but it wasn't similar in strength as Tina's threads are slightly weaker compared to Cotton's threads. But it works so who am I to complain?
All of the threads immediately bind something that fell after Lucia unleashed her flames. Soon it was revealed what she tried to bind as that "flesh" stood up and broke off through the burnt flesh that seems to be covering the bodies. Two more flesh stood up and did the same thing.
Now I know what they are. The three targets that we are looking for are these guys.
"You all have disturbed our sleep! How dare you all disturb our sleep!"
Their heads soon popped off the burnt flesh and the girls can only feel disgusted seeing what the three are.
At first, I thought the main reason they are a bit bigger than usual is because of the fleshy cocoon that covers their bodies. Turns out, they were much thinner and were basically just a small layer of flesh, covering a much larger mass of flesh that I didn't expect to even see,
The three targets are now a big lump of flesh. They also have faces that differ a lot. If I describe how they look, they closely resemble the creatures you see in Silent Hill but are less disturbing and more on the gross side rather than the horror factor they gave.
I also noticed that all three of them have different looks on their faces and although their bodies are basically looking the same, they don't have the same features on their faces, making them easily distinguishable.
One of them has complete features of a normal human but is just corrupted by the flesh and the ears seem to be covered with a mass of flesh, looking so disgusting to look at as they look like an ear that has been neglected in being cleaned. The other one has the same features as the first one, but his mouth seems to be tightly shut. It was like it was sewn like that or had been welded shut. As for the third and final one, the only difference it has is that the eyes are currently covered by a mass of flesh.
As I try to still understand what they are, the ground shook and another set of flesh started to merge and seems to attach the three separated targets together.
"Tina, let them go from your mana threads!"
Since we failed to interrupt them from joining, they have formed together and I think they fused as one single entity now as the tracker is no longer beeping three but only one big tracking sign.
The three joining together fused up a disgusting giant creature that you would likely see in horror movies and some movies that involve extraterrestrial life enemies. It is now so big that it made the look of them more disgusting than ever.
"Come and join us! You will all feel good here with us!"
After that, the official name of the targets fused together finally appeared.
[The Blind, The Mute, and The Deaf]
Level 125
HP: Trait: Humanoid, Construct
"Prepare for battle!"
I pulled out my Versatile Weapon as the fusion monster has appeared and has fully developed its body.
"Oh my goodness... if I have known things as this exists in the game, I should have already logged out and stayed back in the real world for a bit!" Koji is clearly panicking now.
"Don't back out Koji! We already came this far, let's finish everything up!"
Gin then pulls out his katana and assumed a combat stance. "We will fight until the very end so quickly and pick up your weapons!"
