Capítulo 24: A Small Game Of Position

When Kairos was taken up on the tree by Irosa, the ground started to shake. The monster they were about to face was called Ground Worm or known as night Worm.

They are called night warms because they don't come up until the sun goes down. And they are level 20 monsters with high resistance to fire. They aren't big, but once they can grab your leg or any parts of your body, that man is a lump of dead meat.

The prince looked like he was an idiot, but his reflexes were greater than any other adventurer he travelled with.

As soon as the ground started to shake, he screamed and told all of his adventurers to climb on a tree.

The people who didn't listen lost their life in just a few seconds.

"You knew about it right? Kairos." The prince asked while standing on a branch of a tree.

"You trust your gut too much, prince. In this wild, gut feeling is defeated by logic and nature." Kairos replied.

All the knights and hired adventurers who heard him were on a tree looking at the people who didn't listen or refused to listen to his words were all eaten up by the warms. They were all vicious monsters. 

What a view from here. Good thing that Irosa made the platform small enough to fit only two people. Now, I just have to see who demands this seat for the prince. This is going to be quite fun. 

He chose the tallest tree for that very reason. He wanted to see the leader, the main leader of the team who holds the highest authority. Because they can't hang or stand on the branch for a long time. Sooner or later, they will demand a seat. 

The prince isn't the real leader here from my perspective. Isn't someone inside the adventurers or the knight? "Irosa. Who do you think the team leader is?" Kairos asked.

"I am pretty sure it's the masked man." She replied and he mumbled that he had him on his mind too.

But how long is he going to hide the fact that he's the leader?

Kairos took out a red fruit he found in the dungeon and gave half to his bond to eat. "I don't think I can ever find this kind of fruit in this jungle." 

"Me neither," Irosa replied.

The prince climbed up the tree and said, "Listen, people, we are in a difficult situation here. So try to be cooperative and kind. The sun will come up after 10 hours, so we will make 5 teams. Each team will take two hours of sleep on the platform and the others will have to stay up."

Kairos looked down and said, "You are talking about this platform? What makes you think that I will share?"

"Kairos, I don't want to turn this into the hard way. So, as a reward, I will give you first to sleep for two hours and then you have to give up the seat."

"Our prince here is so delusional. Right masked man?" Kairos said.

"I do not have anything to say." He replied.

But the prince didn't show any reaction to his insulting words. He just turned his head to Kairos and said, "If you knew about this forest, why didn't you warn us? We could've moved to a different location."

     So, the masked man doesn't want the prince to live ha? That's really interesting. 

"Why would I dare to order the prince to move? I love my neck." The way Kairos smiled at the prince gave him a chill down his spine.

The clock was ticking as the night became deeper. Everyone had a strong grip on the tree they were standing or sitting on. But they were so tired. It was their first night after they came outside of the dungeon. Everyone had a deep sleep in their eyes. They missed the opportunity to eat their meal. Instead, they watched their comrades getting eaten by the monsters on the grounds. Some of them puked out everything they ate in the morning. The hunger was also getting worse. 

Only 30 minutes passed and the argument started to happen between the teams who were too sleepy.

"Hey!! Aren't you going to sleep? If you're not going to sleep, give up the seat. We need to sleep!"

"It's up to me whether I want to sleep or not on this. Only 30 minutes have passed. 1 hour and 30 minutes more to go." Kairos answered.

"You piece of shit!! Get your ass off from there. I am coming up!" 

"Hey!! Who said that you are next? We are going next. You stay quiet for the remaining time." Another knight speaks up.

"Haaa? You? Who said that you are next? It's up to us to decide that!" Another adventurer speaks up.

     It's already starting. 

Kairos and Irosa were watching the ongoing drama from the tip of the tree.

Soon, the argument took the form of a fight. The adventurers were fighting between them. They weren't right in their mind because of the lack of sleep, hunger and stress. They forgot that they could've just kicked Kairos out of the seat. Instead, they started to fight and no matter what the prince ordered them to do, they didn't listen.

The masked man tied him to a tree branch and fell asleep in that noisy environment as if he didn't give a damn about it.

    The masked man is sleeping, 8 of them are fighting like monkeys, and the monsters are gathering under them because of the noise.  The prince is trying to calm down the crowd but failing. Heh!

I just hope the monsters are unable to climb the tree.

Suddenly, a knight pushed a man off the tree and the worm ate him in one bite. That was the moment they realised that about a hundred monsters were under their feet waiting for them to fall.

The expression on everyone's face was the same. "When did all of them gather under our tree?" The words were written on their faces.

"Heheh! You people prioritize small things over a person's life. 

So, tell me Mr, Knight, why did you push that adventurer?" Kairos asked the man.

"Shut up!! Just get your ass down there!!"

"Rules are rules. One more hour to go."

 He intentionally made them argue more because he wanted them to waste their energy. The night isn't 10 hours long. It was a winter night, so the sun will rise 13 or 14 hours later. So, it would be a great slow.

The argument went from a fighting mood to a life and death situation. Everyone started to attack magical attacks that made Kairos so interested. It was his first time seeing such a view so he started to clap his hands. But none of them died because they adapted to the situation. 

5 minutes left until the next person takes the platform to sleep. And they finally came to a situation after wasting lots of energy for no reason. It was a knight, the best knight among the group who won the fight. 

The prince had nothing to say, so he copied the masked man and tied himself to a tree and fell asleep. 

"Hey! Kairos! Your time is up! Get down from there!!"

"Okay!! Come on Irosa, it will take only a few seconds anyway!" Kairos said and jumped to another tree with her.

"Hah! At last! I can shut my eyes!"

The knight and the other man jumped on the platform at the same time from another tree and the supporting branch under the platform leaned all the way down to the mouth of those monsters like elastic and it came up again. Both of them died in just a second. The rest of the people were shocked to see what just happened. 

The tree they used to make a platform on was a tree that didn't have hard branches. It was a flexible tree that can bend its whole body without breaking it. 

They jumped on it unknowingly and the cost was their life.

A second after they were killed by the monsters, Kairos and Irosa came back on the platform but the tree was standing still.

"Who wants to come up next?" Kairos asked.
