The Demolish This Story
10. Nick Cod's.

Silence, everyone froze, unable to say what. The scene that had just happened before their eyes was terrifying.

The corpse of the monster was completely charred without a remnant. Likewise with the body of the tanker that was burned.

"Well, I'm great."

Nick Cord, the perpetrator casually rubbed the sweat on his forehead. He even had time to praise himself, as if doing a commendable act.

"What did you just do?!"

His voice echoed in the narrow passage of the labyrinth. The man angrily grabbed Nick's collar.

"Hmm, let me think... I saved all of us? " Nick answered. His voice was light, not containing the slightest bit of guilt.

"You just killed someone, you know that?!" His anger is growing. He lifted Nick's body with both hands.

"Then? Sometimes life takes a sacrifice."

"You....!!! " The man's emotions can no longer be contained. His fist was already in the air, ready to land on Nick Cord's annoying face.

But just before touching his face, a huge hand stopped his punch.

"Monsters will come if you're too noisy." Kevin Patron stared coldly at the two of them.

The man who intended to hit Nick could only grit his teeth. He looked at Nick, who now had a triumphant smile on his face.

"Curtain!"

He releases a grip on Nick's collar, throwing it until Nick's body hits the wall.

The other hunters could only take their eyes off. Just shut up and do nothing.

They also have the same feelings, but they know nothing good will happen if they vent their emotions.

...o0°0o...

"Want to drink?"

The man was sitting pensively on a rock, before someone offered him a bottle of water.

"Ah, Thank you."

The man accepted it with pleasure. He patted the empty spot next to him, gesturing to sit beside him.

"My name is Jimmy"

Jimmy, a non-member of the Wolf Fang Guild. A Hunter without a Guild that followed the raid became a freight carrier.

"My name is Ash, Ash Elliot." Ash replied with a smile.

Jimmy looked at the rested Hunters.

"Is it usually like that?" Jimmy asked Ash.

Ash looks in the same direction as Jimmy, and finds Nick Cod, who is leisurely sitting eating meat.

Ash Elliot is the one who will hit Nick before.

"She was indeed an arrogant person from the very beginning I knew her. But after he grew stronger and his position within the guild grew higher, his arrogance grew more and more." Ash replied with a wry smile on his face.

"At first there's someone who can control it" Ash looks at Kevin, who is currently eating not far from Nick's position.

Kevin Patron is a Hunter C Rank. Besides being strong, he is also a responsible man and has a leadership spirit. That was why he was well-liked by the Hunters below him.

Previously, if Nick went too far, Kevin as his senior will punish Nick.

"But a few months ago, he suddenly changed. She starts following Nick and defends him unmistakably, and it makes Nick take even bolder actions than before."

Ash's voice is disappearing. His hands clenched, a sign that he was holding back his anger.

Threatening, extortion, physically hurting, even murder. Nick's sin has been piling up ever since Kevin was by his side.

"All the members wanted him to leave the Guild, but the investors and shareholders did not allow it."

High people don't want their gold diggers to disappear. All the actions of Nick are always handled by them.

The reason the Wolf Fang Guild lacked members was also due to Nick. Because of his nature, many people were unwilling to cooperate with him.

Ash was one of the people who built the Wolf Fang Guild a few years ago. Seeing his struggle tainted with stains, anyone must feel unacceptable.

"I'm sorry for showing you that awful sight." Ash said, he bowed his head to Jimmy.

"Ah, no. To become a Hunter, such a sight seemed necessary." Jimmy replied, a smile displayed on his face.

'So so... '

Jimmy shifted his eyes. He looked at Nick with a cold gaze, different from the previous one looking like a friendly man.

"Ah, Age... "

...o0°0o...

The journey continues.

Raid on a labyrinth-type Dungeon like this does tend to be long. The forked and uncharted path, required the party to venture into the Dungeon first.

That is why the carrier, a profession that is usually not needed, becomes necessary.

Along the way they continued to fight the wandering monsters. They also obtained some items from the chests scattered within the Dungeon.

Unknowingly, 2 days have passed.

"Hey, wake you up, you lazy snails."

Nick's shrill voice echoed within the labyrinthine passage, forcing all the sleeping Hunters to wake up from their dreams.

"The worst alarm ever." One said, accompanied by a long breath

"Damn, but among others, he slept the longest." This time a sign was thrown.

"Right, keep my night extended because of it." The others replied in a low voice.

Some of them were already grumbling in the morning.

Hearing the same horrible voice for two days, they might have been mentally exhausted.

After a short time, the journey resumed.

"What about the mapping?" Kevin asked in the middle of the trip.

"Ah, right. We've been exploring long enough. Given this was a level 4 Labyrinth Dungeon, there should be little more area to explore."

Hearing that information, Kevin nodded.

...o0°0o...

"Oh!"

Nick shouted loudly. Likewise with the Hunters who were amazed to see the scenery in front of them.

After a few hours of walking, they arrived at a large room. Where they found Mana Stone plentiful, stuck it on the wall of the room.

The light blue crystal emitted a dazzling light, tempting the Hunters to touch it.

"Give me your sword!!"

Like a child given a toy, Nick without hesitation began to hit Mana Stone using a sword. Greed was clearly visible in both of his eyeballs.

It had been 4 hours since they last stopped moving. Kevin ordered the party members to rest.

The Hunters accepted with pleasure. Some began to do the same as Nick, regardless of how to carry the stone.

They enjoy leisure time, up–

Zzururu

The ground started to move, the walls trembled, some Mana Stones stuck in the sky sky falling to the ground.

"Damn it, what's going on!"

The earthquake that occurred made the Hunters panic. The earthquake stopped a few seconds later, and fortunately no one was injured.

"Oh no, if an earthquake happens inside a Dungeon..."

ZUZUZU.

The earthquake happened again. The second wave came stronger and clearer.

BOOM!!

A loud voice echoed, an explosion occurred on the Dungeon wall. Something came out of the explosion.

Zzzzttt

Red eyes, black scales, and a very large body size.

One of the Hunters who was in front of the monster could only silently freeze. His body was too afraid to move.

The monster moved closer. His mouth was opened as soon as he got in front of Hunter, then–

HAP!

–the body of the Hunter was cut off, devoured by the monster.
