Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 196: Meeting the High Orcs
Feeling safe, they finally decided to stay in the wild without any buildings to protect. It's like when they roamed, slept with the earth, and covered the sky.
Ayumi installed a protective barrier that stopped the flow of air, not oxygen. It is intended to lock the scent in place, so that it does not smell from a distance.
Then, they light a bonfire and start cooking.
Of course, stir-fried meat and grilled meat are mandatory foods. Can't be left behind!
Seeing her sisters laughing loosely without any burden, made her very happy. His heart was warm, as if the emptiness he had been experiencing was filled again. He looked back at the sky, sighed and regretted his overly hasty actions. She had only met Calista and Olivia for less than two months, but had gotten that far, and eventually her relationship with her sisters became tenuous.
Regretted? A little, where he was determined to build the Armonia Guild to accept all the human survivors and make them harmonious, but in the end he only accepted female members, instead, and always do activities that are fairly wrong for people his age.
Asking Ainsley to release time-traveling magic? There could be no such magic, even if it existed, he did not wish to do so.
"Maybe I got carried away with lust until I finally decided I wanted to have a child." Nathan took a breath again.
...
All three eat a warm meal at night while enjoying the view of the star-filled night sky. Although this place is only a Dungeon, but it must be recognized that the scenery here is better than the outside world.
When it was finished eating and time to rest, Ayumi and Erina slept on Natan's thigh, with Natan awake. Natan chose to stay awake, keep her around to stay safe and rub her sisters' heads so they sleep well.
A sincere smile was etched on his lips, and this calming feeling of his unstable emotions. There was a feeling that he had to go on an adventure and leave his wives, but there was no way he would do it and just throw the responsibility away.
Natan looked up at the vast horizon. "Should look for another talent for the Armonia Guild."
Nathan sighed. Let it pass, and never regret what it has done. After all, back then he was 100% aware, there was no compulsion.
...
At midnight, Natan was still awake, even he was very careful because the little spies he sent by land or air, caught the movements of a group of High Orcs.
He regulated his breathing and tried to remain calm so as not to wake his younger siblings. Every now and then he would look down on the two, and that made him calm, but also determined to protect them.
Sorry, Vely, Calista and Olivia. The order of the three of you back down, my sisters rise to second.
Natan looked around, and secretly controlled the small skeleton to draw the opponent's attention away from this place. He did not want to be visited while he was resting, moreover the highest level here was 625, and he was still Level 600. The difference is too high, not only the enemy wins from quality, but also quantity.

—The Next Morning—
Nathan yawned and blinked a few times. He hasn't slept all night. If he took out all the Skeleton Squad, he could sleep well, but back again, his younger siblings wanted him to not rely too much on the skeleton, and wanted to adventure like he used to.
Ayumi and Erina woke up, opened her eyes slowly and sat down while rubbing her eyes.
""Good morning, Brother.""
"Good morning." Nathan rubbed his head. Then when the two were still half conscious, he immediately brought the two of them on the left and right like carrying a sack of rice.
This place was too dangerous, and he still did not want to fight when it was still early morning like this.
...
Half an hour later, Natan stops and takes Ayumi and Erina down.
The two looked at Natan with a sullen expression and were a little annoyed.
Nathan knows what makes them that way, because it's obvious. Both of their hair was messy, their faces were still soft, not washing their faces, but they had to be carried away at high speed and against the wind.
Natan was silent for a moment, then he gave up. He sat on a rock, patting his thighs. "Sit down, I'll comb your hair."
Natan took a comb, she combed Ayumi's messy hair. It reminds her of the past, where she feeds Ayumi, brushes her hair every morning and invites her to play around in the courtyard during holidays.
After Ayumi finished, replace Erina who sat on Natan's lap and asked for her hair to be combed.
Natan's nose twitched, then she looked up at Ayumi and looked back down to see Erina in her lap. "You two wear the same shampoo as Mom?"
"Sister just realized it?" Ayumi tilted her head. "It's the second day since we took a bath with Mom. But the smell still lingers."
Natan gave a small nod, and indeed realized that this shampoo still persisted. He patted Erina on the head, and pushed Erina gently. "It's over, get down quickly."
Erina jumped down, then took out a solid bread for the breakfast of them all.
Nathan had eaten before the two even woke up, so he did not join in and looked around. Since he ran fast enough without knowing where he had gone earlier, he had not had time to figure out where he was now.
"This place is almost all the same, troublesome."
Natan turned saw a high slope with a slope of 45°. He climbed slowly carefully to reach his peak, and the moment he had arrived, he stood on a peak that was only four meters wide. In front of him, there was a steep cliff with pointy rocks sticking out of the cliff wall.
Then he looked up, he saw there was a small town surrounded by a red wooden fence, and on the wall of the fence there was a skull that looked like a human skull.
Protected by the fence were tent-like houses made of bark and tree trunks.
"Human? In Dungeon?" Nathan was stunned, then he shook his head. There could be no humans living in the Dungeon, he could only think that these High Orcs had come from somewhere else, in a faraway place. Then because there was a certain event, maybe this Camp High Orc was stored somewhere, and with Ainsley's help, they arrived at the Dungeon Tower.
Natan looked at the watchtower, there were three High Orcs standing guard. When he was watching him closely, suddenly one of the High Orcs turned around and looked towards him.
Immediately, Natan lowered his head even to the point that his whereabouts were unknown. He had not expected the High Orc to be able to detect it with this distance.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Compose."
Ayumi and Erina did not ask any more and immediately dropped down to follow Natan. Then the two crept to the left-right side of Nathan, slowly seeing what could make Nathan cautious.
When Ayumi and Erina saw the Camp High Orc, both of them were stunned with their eyes wide open, even they almost cried out in surprise, but soon their mouths were closed with Natan's hands.
Natan's heart was pounding fast, he had not felt this kind of nervous and cautious feeling for a long time. Admittedly, 750 High Orc Level 601 — 650 scared him a little.
Ayumi and Erina gave a small nod, explaining that they knew they had to stay still, not making any sounds so as not to attract attention that could reveal the coordinates of their location.
Natan pulled back her hand, then she crawled back slowly lest she make a sound. Even though it is more than a kilometer, you still have to be careful.
Ayumi and Erina looked at Natan.
"How, Brother?" ask Erina.
Natan looked back at the cliff, then sighed. "We can only kill one by one. Maybe, it'll take a week here."
"One week?" Ayumi tilted her head left-right with her eyes closed. "Alright, as long as you are with Brother, Ayu doesn't matter even if you have to stay here for a month." He opened his eyes.
Erina nodded her head many times, confirming that she agreed with Ayumi's words.
