Chapter 75
Jarka stood on the front, prepared to defend while Durza shot a few bolts in their direction. However, before the charging dwarfs could ram in them, they were halted by a barrage of <Mana Missile> and <Flux Missile> spells.
<You have killed a 2nd-rank dwarfs 3 times>
<10.86% experience is split according to talents Subordinate and Parasite>
<Stone gained 9.77% experience>
<Lucifer gained 1.09% experience>
<You have gained 3.50% experience from Lucifer>
However, a dwarf with a messy beard and embroidered armour, that could only belong to an Army of the Abyss captain, conjured a 4th-rank skill <Runic Shielding>, effectively stopping the missiles that just harmlessly broke upon the contact.
"Forward!" The captain ordered and the line of 6 dwarfs moved slowly stepped forward safely hidden behind the shield of pure refined mana with runic words.
"See, Stone? No spells are weak," Lucifer muttered as their spells were not able to even dent the shield.
"I can't," Stone replied.
"What?"
"I see only the blue wall, but anything behind it is blank."
"Fuck!"
"Luci, what now?" Stone asked. This was the first time he was in such a situation. Before, it was always easy. Hide, ambush, kill. Now? The meatbags knew how to defend themselves. Problematic. He thought of using Firey, but the little spark refused. It was on cooldown or something. Maybe it was just lazy… Who could ever know?
"We run," Lucifer flexed his <Weak Fluxkinesis> and easily picked up Stone who did not try to struggle. His refined mana reserves had run out anyway after five 25-RM <Mana Missile> spells. He began to use his nigh-endless ambient mana, but when the refined mana failed, how could ambient mana work. At least it slowed the dwarfs down.
The captain was visibly sweating from the pressure. Still the spell held firm as another missile broke at it.
<Spell: Mana Missile levelled up>
"Druegars never run from battle!" Jarka yelled, her eyes filled with lust for battle. Her bloody mist surged forth, slowing them even more.
Durza stood next to her, his bolts flaring up with brown rays as he cast a skill over them. It was for nought. He knew it. They never stood a chance against a bonafide 4th-rank. Still, he would stand with her. Forever.
"Don't be an idiot! It's a fourth rank runemaster!" Lucifer yelled back at her from the shaft entrance.
"Jarka. You should retreat and inform the shaman," Durza said as the dwarfs were a mere 10 metres from them. Luckily, they could not attack from a distance. The shield worked both ways.
"Ye bastards! Ya killed dur brothas! I'll hang yar intestines on a pole! Captain! Let us go!" One of the forefront dwarfs screamed, his eyes red with wrath. The others joined in yelling profanities, but captain Baelgin did not flinch and instead, he flashed his aura, "silence! Six of you are already dead!"
"For hells…" Lucifer rolled his eyes and sent his last missile at Jarka's head, stunning her. Before she slumped he caught her with Dori's arms. "You stay here, Durza."
He glanced at the strangely familiar dwarven captain in the back.
"Dori? Eriv?" The captain gaped and his shielding flickered a bit as he hesitated. Stone did not miss the opportunity and the <Mana Missile> hit another dwarf in the chest, wounding him.
"Yea, I planned for this. I'll hold them off. Run! Save her!" Scout-Durza pulled out a silver, circular amulet and deeply cut his hand. A small eye opened in the middle and drew the blood into itself. His whole arm slowly dried up as it sucked the blood out of the wound.
Then the amulet broke in a flash of cold-blue rays and icy droplets appeared in the air. He raised his healthy arm and tens of small <Ice Bolts> surged towards the dwarfs, stopping them in the track.
Meanwhile, Lucifer with an unconscious druegar female on his male shoulder and Stone carried by Eriv's body, was running as fast as he could.
"Luci, I don't like running," Stone proclaimed after an hour of their frantic sprint.
"Guess… Huf.. huf… what! Me too!"
"No, I mean the movement. It feels unnatural. Like flying. I don't like it."
"You… " A person would say that he would already be used to Stone's annoying view on life and new experiences. The person would be wrong.
They were blindly running around and after an hour Stone asked, "Luci?"
"What?"
"Where are we?" Not like the pebble cared too much. He had already refilled his refined mana reserves and was covered by <Mana Shield> yet again.
Lucifer slowed down and looked around. As he was kind of panicked, he completely forgot to watch where he was tactically retreating.
Jarka was still unconscious so she could not lead. Which was, after Lucifer calmed down and was able to think clearly, quite a problem. Being lost in the first layer…
"I would say we are lost."
"Oh… And who are they?" Stone innocently asked.
Many red-glowing eyes that belonged to blue-skinned goblins, druegars and animalistic Monsters, from snakes to spiders, turned to them as they heard them.
"Those are Myceliar drones, Stone. They scrounge after meat."
"And that's why we are running away from them, again?"
"Yes, Stone. I don't want to be eaten alive. Again."
"Again?"
"Shul-Gahat," Lucifer did not even lie… Still, it was not what he had in mind.
"Oh… Why don't we kill them?"
"Because, if you didn't notice, there are around five hundred of them,"
"But I have Firey! We could set them all on fire… Phhuuush!, and they are ash."
"You won't gain any experience from them and doing that might anger the powerful being who controls them."
"Oh, in that case it's not worth it. Run faster!" Stone changed his mind and Lucifer facepalmed.
"Darkul ass…" Jarka groaned as her head hit the wall. For the seventh time.
"Finally! Wake up, woman!"
"Minion! Wake up!" Stone said and added a blue mana wall slapping her.
"Minion? Who're ya? Who am I?"
"Luci? Why is she so confused?"
"Why're those odd people chasin' us?"
"Why me? Seriously. Universum, Gods, gods… Anyone. Why me?" Lucifer asked into the void while tears streamed from his two sets of eyes. He picked up the pace as he felt a cold hand almost grab ex-Eriv's shoulder.
