The Last Human Returns.
Chapter 32 - Ymir Tomb

Hiding their whereabouts, Li Mei and Kiaa tailed from a safe distance.

Li Mei looked at Kiaa who was right behind her. "Reverse until the farthest distance your bow can reach. I'll follow them up front."

Kiaa nodded. Unlike Li Mei who had the [Blurred Human] skill that was able to reduce her presence by 90%, Kiaa did not have the camouflage skill. So, he only relied on his natural abilities that were prone to being detected by skills.

This monster inside Tomb Ymir was at level 100. The two Oni penetrated with incredible destructive power ignoring the difference in levels. The side effects of making a breakthrough from such a front, of course their stamina would be drained.

The other party, Li Mei and Kiaa did not fight at all and just waited for the two Oni to get exhausted and become disheartened. Killing both of them would increase the experience point needed to level up a few levels.

The deeper they go, the more Monsters. In addition, there are traps that are installed randomly in this tomb. However, Oni's incredible physical abilities were strong enough to ward off some of the traps.

Once inside the innermost part of the tomb, a lizard with metallic gray scales that looked like metal opened its eyes. The lizard has unique eyes that look similar to narutomaki with white and pink spirals.

"Entering Her Majesty's tomb .. is not at all forgivable."

Blood stopped flowing and the faces of the two Oni turned blue once they realized what Monster was before them now.

"Damn. It's Basilica! Let's run!"

The two Oni attempted to escape from the tomb. However, the Basilica had absolutely no intention of allowing them to escape after entering the tomb of the Goddess it served. Opening his mouth, the Basilica shot a breath of poison closing the doorway to the outside.

"Ck!" Oni clicked his tongue and turned around preparing to fight.

The basilica did not let the Oni take the opportunity to prepare and lunged very quickly. He intended to pierce the body of the Oni with a pointed horn located on the forehead.

Clank's!

Oni one managed to change the direction of the Basilica's attack with his greatsword. The second Oni who was holding a long sword, attacked the Basilica's back with his sword coated in purple flames.

"!"

Clank's!

The full-energy slash from Oni two, bounced off as it collided with the basilica's metallic scales. Oni two were pushed back and her body trembled from being recoil from the attack.

Basilica turned. At that moment, their eyes looked at each other. Oni two bodies begin to experience petrification at the start of the toe.

"!"

Oni one tried to attack the Basilica's own achilles with blades coated in bright white flames.

"Kieeek! It hurts!" The basilica cried out in pain.

The Oni one attack was successful. Unfortunately, his sword was stuck in the Basilica's flesh and could not be drawn.

The basilica swung its tail violently against the bodies of Oni one and Oni two which began to partially petrify and were unable to move.

Jem!

"Glut!" The basilica suddenly screamed painfully as its heart was almost pierced.

Li Mei, who was waiting, attacked the heart of the Basilica, which was the weakness of the Basilica. However, with the attack already very deep, Li Mei had not been able to kill the Basilica.

"Who!?" How dare to attack secretly!" The basilica looked around for the perpetrator who attacked him. However, he could not find it at all.

Jem!

"Aragh!" Another attack came right at the same place.

Li Mei immediately retreated and ran towards the Oni. He'll hand over the final murder to Kiaa. His task is now to get rid of external distractions like the Oni.

Looking at Li Mei who was getting closer, the Oni looked as frightened as seeing the Lifeless Angel in Li Mei.

"Tu– Wait! Stop–"

The splash!

The heads of the two Oni were detached from their bodies as Li Mei's dagger passed through the necks of the two.

[You killed Kukuru, Oni Warrior.]

[You get 78,000 Experience Points.]

[You get 85,900 Experience Points.]

Li Mei turned around to see if Kiaa had already finished the fight or not. His ability gives instant death if he attacks unwittingly the enemy.

"You lowly creature! Now die–"

Jem!

The basilica which was already furious at Li Mei, was unaware of the arrow containing the level 3 fire magic rune, [Magic Bomb], floating towards her already wide-open heart.

Bam!

Explosions are created inside the wound. The basilica felt her vision become blurry. No matter how powerful the Basilica was, if its heart exploded, the Basilica would naturally lose its own life.

"Ran Majesty .. forgive me."

Tears dripped from the eyes of the Basilica. With his remaining consciousness and love for Ymir, the Basilica intends to kill Kiaa, Li Mei, and the two dead Oni. At least he didn't want to die alone.

Li Mei felt her back suffer an electric shock seeing the Basilica open her mouth. A very big attack is coming.

"Kiaa, hurry up and hide!" Li Mei shouted loudly and moved as far away as she could.

Woooshes!

A highly corrosive green breath filled the room where the fight took place. All that were touched by the green breath melted and dissolved into one with the breath.

"Huh .. Hah …."

"It's really very dangerous. I don't like it at all."

Li Mei and Kiaa who survived by hiding inside the treasure room, slumped and sat on the floor because they were too tired. Who would have thought the Basilica launched a break-up attack there was finished it at the last moment.

[You killed the Basilica.]

[You get 140,000 Experience Points.]

[You level up.]

[You level up.]

[You–]

The notification of the level rise did not stop at all. The experience they have gained is amazing. Seeing that made them excited.

[You are in the Ymir Treasure Room.]

[You are only allowed to bring 3 Artifacts from the Treasure Room.]

Another System message appeared, only then did Li Mei and Kiaa realize the pile of treasure in their eyes. A mountain of gold and a high-tier weapon, it was impossible for one to withstand the feeling of greed.

However, Li Mei and Kiaa who had already trained their hearts and minds through the Unweaving Heart technique, kept them rational. There was no desire of them to bring more than 3 Artifacts.

Choosing weapons that suited their fighting style, Li Mei picked up a dagger, a black coat, and a mask. Kiaa, meanwhile, chose a white bow made of wood, a necklace with a pale yellow jewel, and lastly the Golden Horn of Galleus.

"Are you seriously taking the item?" Li Mei asked as she looked at the item Kiaa had chosen.

"Although I don't know the function of this item. However, I thought it would be troublesome if this item fell into the hands of others."

Kiaa has no interpretive skills. Even so, for the upper-floor residents to sacrifice two epic items for the sake of an item, Kiaa believes this is an item that will be very helpful if it is in the hands of colleagues.

Li Mei nodded at the logical answer from Kiaa. So, he did not ask Kiaa's decision anymore. Li Mei turned her gaze to the gate of the treasure room.

"... The problem now is, the breath of the lizard, right?"

It is not predictable when the breath actually disappears. Li Mei and Kiaa who were racing against time, felt a little regret for coming to this place first instead of looking for a way out.

"Looks like we're not gonna finish on time."

Both can only apologize and pray in their hearts, hopefully their friends on Earth are able to withstand the stampede that occurs throughout the World.
