Shadow And System | Chapter 51. Ready to die and Cindy outside the Dungeon

... Chapter 51. Ready to die and Cindy outside the Dungeon....

"Human, welcome!" lich.

Upon hearing that, the Hunters panicked and were astonished while giving his comments.

"An Orc just spoke human language!"

"How can an Undead person speak English?"

"Is this magic?"

....

Hearing that, I could only let out a long sigh because the Hunters couldn't keep their mouths on this kind of situation.

"Our leader wants to meet you. Follow me!"

Facing this unprecedented event, not only Atha but all the hunters in the attacking team fell into confusion.

"A monster wants to talk to a human?" mummy Tanker.

"There's never been a report of such a case before" another hunter added.

“Chairman Atha, I hope you don't listen to the words of monsters!" exclaiming girl Healer.

“Please, you should ignore it!" connect the male Summoner.

"Chairman Atha, this is a trap. Whatever happened?! We should try to finish it here!" connect the Healer girl.

Although the Hunters expressed their opinion however, Atha had her own thoughts.

“But still. If it's Lich we can talk to, maybe we can-"

Before Atha finished the words, the Healer Girl tried to persuade her.

"Chairman Atha, don't be foolish!"

In less than a second, their opinions split.

Then, Atha strengthened his resolve and asked.

"Before that, I wanted to ask. Is your leader blocking Goa?"

"really so. Our leader is a great Black magician and Necromancer" Lich replied.

Hearing that, I smiled faintly as this would be the meeting of the other two Mancer figures.

Then Atha asked another question.

“Is there a stronger figure than your leader in this cave?”

"none. He's the strongest!" The lich was angry when asked by Atha, "You talk too much! Die here or follow me!"

"We'll come along."

Atha's immediate answer prompted the Hunter's eyes to grow wider.

"Sir Atha!"

"Chairman Atha!"

"The right choice! Now, come with me!"

Understanding the situation, I suspect Atha wants to negotiate however, her interlocutor is a monster.

Can it? Or maybe it ...

A basic thought, Atha wanted to kill the Dungeon boss.

Understanding that, I put Greed back in the inventory and continued to follow Atha and her team.

On the way, Atha slowed down and walked parallel to me.

"Rizal?" greet quietly Atha.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Once we meet the Dungeon boss, we will directly attack. When that happens, regardless of whether our attack is successful or not. But, at least the Dungeon boss shouldn't be able to maintain the magic spell blocking the way out."

Hearing that, I also analyzed that Atha and the others had a very low chance of coming back alive.

"Then, when their attention is on us, Rizal, please run away from the boss room! Once you get out of the basement, you have to warn the main invading forces" Atha said.

Even so I managed to get out then the chances of them living were slim and Atha who understood that, she was getting ready to die with her comrades.

“Are you thinking of dying with a Dungeon boss?” ask me.

"Our task is not to get out of this Dungeon alive, but to close the Dungeon. A lot of people outside paid us a lot of money for that purpose" Atha replied with confidence.

Then, the Healer girl near us connected Atha's words.

"We will do our job according to what we have trained. But you are different. There is no reason for you to die here. I hope you can get out of this place alive."

Fransiska who was near me also said something.

"Rizal, forgive my mistakes in school first" Fransiska said with a desperate expression.

"It's just the past. I never had a problem with her."

Hearing my answer, Fransiska gave me a small smile. "Thank you, Rizal and I hope you can live in peace just outside of this Dungeon and ..." Fransiska took a small note and gave it to me, "Rizal, I want help too! Not many. But, this means a lot. Please take this note to my family if you make it out!"

"All right, I accept. But, I'm not the one who dropped her off" I replied as I received the notebook and put it in my pocket.

"No problem, thank you" Fransiska said with a small smile.

I smiled and nodded my head.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

On the other hand, Cindy who knows friends and neighbors join the team of miners, she decided to stop her work which according to will endanger Rizal.

Then, Cindy was already at the location of Dungeon Rank A for Team B. The first thing he did was look for a mining team.

Some Hunters walked past Cindy and glanced at her a few times, but they all kept working for the Guild and none of them paid much attention to her afterwards.

Until Cindy sees the head of the mining team from a distance.

Buk, buk!

Cindy's heart started beating faster.

Standing some distance away from them, Cindy scanned the faces of every miner present. However, he could not find Rizal.

"Where's Rizal?" muttered Cindy while looking around her.

"Has he stopped being a miner? Ah, I'd better wait for her," said Cindy.

A few minutes later, Cindy still could not find Rizal and made his long sigh.

After a long sigh, Cindy turned to leave. But, only after taking a few steps did he turn around again and return to the forging before his self stood up.

So inevitably, Cindy decided to approach the head of the mining team to question Rizal.

Then, Cindy took off her hat and took a deep breath several times before walking towards the Chief Miner and the gazes of the mining team members were directed at her.

Knowing the presence of Cindy, the head of the mining team suddenly ran over to Cindy.

"Vice chief Cindy? I thought you were taking a break today?" greet the head of the mining team.

"Hello."

Cindy shared a simple greeting with the head of the mining team and after making sure no one eavesdropped, she carefully asked him a question.

"Is there a Hunter named Rizal working for you?"

Hearing that, the Head of the Mining Team was shocked because Rizal's name was uttered by Hunter Rank S, Cindy.

"Rizal yes ... If you're looking for Rizal, he replaces the porter's job in the Dungeon."

Upon hearing that, Cindy gasped in shock.

"A porter?! Are you saying he really got into the Dungeon?!”

"Yes, Vice Chairman. That's what happened," replied the head of the Mining Team while nodding his head vigorously as if to show that he couldn't believe it either.

Hearing that, Cindy also analyzed herself which one F rank Hunter volunteered as a porter and entered an A rank Dungeon? And, he doesn't even have dozens of lives or anything.

"What is he really thinking?" mumbling wonder Cindy.

Apart from that, all Cindy thinks about is the kindness and hospitality of Rizal who never looked at her as a Hunter rank S but rather a friend.

Cindy decided to help him.

"I have to help her" Cindy muttered as she bit her thumb.

Then, Cindy informed the decision to the head of the mining team.

"I'll go in the gate myself."

The head of the mining team was shocked by Cindy's decision.

"Huh?! Was there an accident? Should we ask the Guild for additional personnel?" ask Panic Chief of the Miners Team.

"No, there's no need. It's a personal matter. I just wanted to talk to her about something personal, so you don't have to worry" Cindy replied.

"Oh, I see," replied the Chief Miner.

Then, Cindy spun towards the Dungeon. However, his side felt a bit empty.

‘Ah. My weapon.’ Cindy said as she felt her waist, only to be late considering that she had left her sword at home. Because he had never imagined that he would enter the Dungeon on his day off like this.

Although Cindy thought, Atha is someone who is truly trustworthy, and the rest of the team consists of a talented Hunter. Even so ... It was inconceivable to enter the basement without a weapon in hand.

A brief consideration of that made Cindy turn to face the Chief Miner Team once again.

"Is there anything else, Vice Chairman?" tanya astonished the Chief of the Mining Team.

“Minner Team Head, can I borrow a weapon from you?”

“Sorry?” tanya astonished the Chief of the Mining Team. Then, he thought of something and called his partner to bring a tool that is a pickaxe.

Then, the Chief Miner gave the pickaxe to Cindy.

Seeing that, Cindy's expression looked disappointed.

"Excuse me. Don't you have anything else?" ask Cindy.

"Uhm, like?" reply Head Team Miners.

"For example, a sword or a spear" Cindy replied.

The head of the mining team smiled widely while holding his back head. "We are just workers. Not carrying a gun like that."

Cindy sighed softly, "I understand."

Cindy also carefully rejected the pickaxe given by the head of the mining team. Then, he quickly walked towards the Dungeon

The head of the mining team anxiously asked Cindy when he saw Cindy from a distance.

"Cindy, is it okay to enter the dungeon empty-handed?"

Hearing that, Cindy suddenly stopped her steps and stood there for a moment.

After which, he walked back to pick up the pickaxe from the Chief Miner Team.

"I think it's the best, Vice-Chairman. I mean, it would be dangerous not to have a gun in the dungeon, no matter what happens there," said the head of the mining team with a big smile.

"All right then" replied Cindy.

Then Cindy entered the Dungeon.
