Chapter 12: Battle Inside The Cave



Chapter 12: Battle Inside The Cave

"Alright, since everyone has entered, we will release the monsters you will have to fight against."

Then the lightning mage, activated some kind of mechanism inside the room after he closed the entrance. And then, the wall on the other side opened and I can see many monsters ahead.

Those are the same type of monsters. And the numbers is about 300 of them! It's more than three times the number of the people.

The monsters are called Giant Mantis. They look like a praying mantis, but their size is about the same as human if not bigger. On average, they are about two meter tall. And those two blade like hands are dangerous. The sharpness of those blades can split a human body from head to toe.

"Those are your enemies you have to kill. As long as you survive, you will be accepted," said the lightning mage.

He and the other mage still staying here. I guess it means that they are confident in their abilities. I don't care why, but this gave me an opportunity to kill them as well. If they decided to leave, I might lose my chance to kill them.

Luckily, the monsters that appear is Giant Mantis. I can transform Blobby into a blade similar to the mantis' blades and when someone outside checking on what happened here, they will blame the mantis.

The battle began, and Bob and I just watched everyone from the sideline. So are the two examiner.

The two looked at us from time to time, but they didn't care whether we're fighting or not. And when the battle got harder for everyone, the two examiner stopped caring about us and only looked at those with strong potential.

300 Giant Mantis is difficult to handle. Usually, they need to be defeated by at least 2 intermediate level mage. Now there are more than three times the number of the people. But from them, there are some who shows great ability. They are already reached advanced level and can take down several mantises at once.

And I found my target among those advanced level mage. A fire elemental mage. There are some advanced level fire mage, but the one I'm aiming is the one farthest from me in case someone suspicious of me if I targeted the one close by.

What will I do? It's the time for my air element to shine!

With air element magic, I can change the chemical compound of gases around me. I still don't know much yet, but that was what Victoria told me. Where does her knowledge come from? Maybe when she have more time, she will told me everything. I hope it won't be something terrible.

Victoria told me several things she knows during each time she appears. One of them is the fact that air is a mixture of gases. Like what we breathe in and needed for us to live, is Oxygen. And when Oxygen enter our lung, it change into Carbon Dioxide we breathe out. I don't know how she comes with such knowledge but I know that she can be trusted. Maybe it was something common in the past?

Anyway, that's why I'm looking for a strong fire mage. All I need to do is to change the mixture of gases near that guy into a highly flammable one that may end up hurting himself. Victoria said it was Ethylene. A slightly sweet smelling gas which extremely flammable.

My air element is still in basic level, but I can change the gas around him enough to kill him and several people around him. So I activate my magic without anyone knowing.

"BOOOOOM!"

"Uwaaah!"

"What the hell!"

"Did he just die by his own magic?"

An explosion happened. And everyone stopped to see the situation. And someone who saw what happened, speculate that a man is killed with his own magic. That's half-right. The other half is my magic, but that's good enough for a passing grade. Since that's all you need to know.

Then I did it one more time with a smaller scale to another fire mage. This time, my target is an intermediate level one. There goes another 'Boom'.

"What happened? Is there some kind of explosive gases here?"

"There shouldn't be any! We just finished building this place last month and there's no explosive gases at all!"

The two examiner got confused with what happening. Well, that's good for me. Now that their attention is at the center of the explosion, I can stealthily approach them without anyone knowing. Not even Bob who is close to me. Just like I thought, he's stupid.

I transformed Blobby into two blade with similar shape to the mantis' blade. The two blade are connected with a string since Blobby can't split her body. When I'm behind the two examiner, I raised both blades high and swung them downward!

Just like the Giant Mantis. Their attacks are mostly by using their blades and swung them downward. Sometime, they will caught their prey with the prey's head in between the two blades, and the mantises would eat their prey like that. I can't copy that, so I only imitate their downward swing.

"What?!"

"Both examiners got killed!"

"Traitor! There's a traitor among us!"

"Alejandro! Why did you betray us?!

Seems like I gained everyone's attention. Now I just need to take care of them all.

"Sadly Bob, I'm not Alejandro. I'm Carlos!"

Again. I used another fake names again. Then I announced my intention to everyone.

"You. All. Bad. Guys. I. Kill. You."

Now even someone as stupid as Bob will realize that I'm their enemy. That explanation is too easy to understand. If there are some who doesn't get it, their intelligence is much lower than a baby who doesn't understand language yet.

Now then, in an enclosed space, between enemies both monsters and humans, I will show everyone how scary a fighter can be!

I swung my blades down again to Bob who is the nearest one from me. Goodbye, Bob. I will send everyone with you so can have friend in the afterlife.

"Kill the traitor!"

"We can't let him live!"

"Wait! There's a mantis behind you!"

"GUWAAAH!"

Heh. Another one died by the mantis. Using two blades is really a good idea.

Then I killed them one by one with the same method. Downward swing like a mantis.

In front of the cave, there are 85 people. Now it has come down to 30. Although most of them are killed by the mantises, I still kill a lot myself. And I will keep killing until everyone died.

Well, not everyone. At least I will keep the mantises alive. I'll just dun away after killing every cult members. But thirty enemies is not a small number even with the help of hundreds of Giant Mantises. Good thing I just slept with Sophie. We didn't do anything that would tire me out today.

"You little! Earth Wall!"

It's Jo! He's actually an advanced level earth mage! So you actually hiding your real power. That doesn't matter. His earth wall are blocking me, but I can take care of them! Although it will take some time.

I transform Blobby into a shovel and dig up an entrance.

I opened up a hole the size of a small window.

"Here's Pablo!"

"Aren't you Carlos?!"

"It's difficult to remember if I picked up too many fake names!"

"That's stupid of you to only open up a hole this size. Now die! Fireball!"

Oh shit! Turn out Jo is also a fire mage! I quickly backed away before he finished his spell, and activate my own magic as well.

This time, Jo went Kaboom. And the wall got destroyed.

I was too careless. Again, I got too cocky with my power that I almost died. If I don't have air element like in my previous life, I would have died long ago.

I need to do it more carefully even if I have to spend more time and energy. As long as I'm alive, even if I fail, I can just return at a later time. Dying because I overestimated my strength is stupid of me. Especially when everyone here is my enemy and I have secured the escape route.

That's right. After I killed Bob, I opened the entrance again so I can leave anytime I want but I forget about it the next second. Turns out I was so much wiser back when I was weak.

I need to regain those wisdom back! Time for another Shameless Survival Arts!

Distraction Skill: Screaming!

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Ugh! What the hell?!"

Slash! He died.

"Stop Screaming!"

Slash! Another enemy fell.

"He's distracting us with his scream!"

Slash! Another one bites the dust.

Now there are about fifteen human enemies, while the mantises have dropped to fifty. Seems like there are more advanced level mage than I expected.

I keep distracting the enemies while killing them. And finally, there is only one enemy left with the numbers of mantises is about thirty.

"Why did you kill us?"

The last man asked while being surrounded by Giant Mantises.

"I can't stand the cult."

As I finished my sentences, one Giant Mantis grabbed him and eat his head.

Everyone has died now and I'm extremely tired. I need to leave quickly before someone finds me.
