Capítulo 26: Escape Unleashed
I jumped around the platform to avoid the flying undead that Brass made. I didn't need to kill any more monsters since I gained what I wanted, but there was a problem.
"Entwine, STOP!" I said loudly.
The old man looked back at my face with a lot of anger in his eyes. He surely wanted to kill me, but I didn't want him to do that anymore.
"I found a way to get out of here," I said.
"Heh—where did those things you said go? I thought you wanted me to kill you, and now you're scared?" said Brass.
"I'm not scared. I found a way to save all of us." I tried to look as serious as possible with every word.
"And why should I help you again? Weren't you the one who talked about abusing an old man not too long ago?" Brass seemed perplexed, yet I gained his interest since the attacking undead stopped their movement.
I showed Brass the scroll I got from Dalv and said, "This is a [Short-Distance Teleportation Scroll]. With this, everyone could get out of here easily."
"Sadly, that is not possible. We are currently sealed inside, and I do not have any undead outside to use my [Vision Sharing] and teleport us out."
"I know. But I can. I can use this scroll without needing any."
"That's impossible," he said in shock.
"Don't you think it was a bit odd for a 15-year-old child to know the exact mapping of a dungeon full of Dark Mages? It was my Special Skill that allowed me to scout and guide everyone," I said without being fazed. I knew that the words I was muttering were partially lies, but I didn't have anything to say except lie.
Who would believe a child saying that he can travel back in time indefinitely and gain knowledge beyond a living being?… I wouldn't.
Brass thought for a minute and then replied, "…Fine… I will believe in you this once. But after we get out of here, you're going to pay for your stuff."
Great. Everything was turning smoothly, and that was the only thing I wanted in this [Event]. With that, we could easily get out—!
"ACTION. WE NEED HELP," said Mark as loud as he could.
The ground below their feet was submerging into lava, and there wasn't any other platform for them to jump onto.
"GEAAAAAA!" suddenly, Ben began to shout openly. Each scream implied the intense amount of pain that he was taking willingly.
"Oh sh*t. We need to move quickly," I said to Brass.
Ben's body was emitting visible black lines, which shouldn't have been possible for a person who didn't have any mana-detection ability like me. We didn't have a lot of time before Ben's Awakening.
I scanned the area to find the quickest route to reach Mark and the twins to save them. There were a lot of materials scattered.
I looked at Brass and said, "How many undead can you summon?"
"Three at max. After that, I won't be able to use my magic for a day," said Brass.
"Then do it."
[ Brass Entwine Used "Skeleton Summon" Skill ]
Right after Brass used his skill, he dropped down in exhaustion. I began to command the dead and move them to the closest platform to Mark and the twins.
The distance between us was wide enough to make it impossible to cross by a sheer good jump.
"H-hey guys. How are you doing with the adventure?" I said to calm them down since what I wanted them to do was outrageous.
"We are okay, but Mark has been panicking like crazy," said Kevin.
"Kevin is right. We know that we might die, but isn't it part of an adventurer's life? Dying on their journey… that sounds hella cool," said Carl with a coolheaded smile.
"W-what are we going to do?" said Mark… in panic.
"… Um, I want you to jump over the lava and reach me," I said.
"What? But how?"
"I'm going to use these skeletons to make a jumping path for you guys. But after I do that, there will be approximately 5 seconds of time for you to cross it before the bones completely submerge in the lava. Say 'ready' whenever you're ready."
"… We can do this," said Kevin.
"If I die, tell my story," said Carl.
"J-just do it," said Mark.
"Okay, I'll count to three, and when I hit one, I will drop the skeletons. One, two,… three."
FIZZZ— I grabbed the rib bones of the undead and tossed them onto the lava layer. In order, Mark, Carl, and lastly Kevin crossed it. I sighed in relief, and the happy looks on their faces were quite heartwarming.
"Hey Mark, you are on fire," said Carl.
"O-oh no." Mark put out the fire on his pants as fast as he could.
We were ready to get out of this place, and the only thing we needed to do was reach Brass. Brass passed out due to excessive use of mana, and he couldn't wake up.
The others and I began to rush towards Brass since the cave was crumbling down. We reached Brass, but right after we reached him, Ben woke up.
"GAEE, Boom—! Ugh, that took sooooo long," said Ben with his newly undead face. He began to walk towards us as he was adjusting to his legs.
I quickly grabbed Brass and took the hands of the others and shouted [Map] to see where we could go. The screen that opened in front of me showed the room we were in. I looked around to see if I could find a close yet out-of-this-place location on the screen, and I found it.
Ben was one platform away from us. He was turning even uglier with each step.
"I'm. Going. To kill. YouuUUU," said Ben in a strange manner.
After he said that, I decided not to use the scroll and instead pulled out my Vandal Essence from my [Inventory]. I grabbed the bottle and raised it towards Ben.
"You know what this is, right? This is the reason why you turned like that. I am pretty sure that you could kill at least half of us, yet you're an undead due to your incompetence. Now die in this mountain and regret the chaos that you've created."
I spilled the potion and ripped the Scroll as soon as possible.
[ Item "Short-Distance Teleportation Scroll" in use ]
[ Teleporting the User to the designated area ]
We found ourselves near the top of the mountain. The mountain's top was stone gray, which was one of the signatures of the Gray Tip Mountain. After our teleportation, Brass woke up and turned quite confused since he wasn't dead yet.
I was about to say something, but the ground began to shake violently.
RUMBLE—!"We need to run NOW," I said.
"What is happening?" said Kevin.
"… The volcano is about to erupt. We need to go, or we will turn into cooked meat."
We began to run as fast as we could. Our situation seemed desperate, but I was happy. I tried to hide my smile from the panicking looks on my back.
[ Event: Unexpected Rampage Completed ]
[ Visit the Guild to receive your Reward ]
'To think I cleared an [Event] before reaching Lv 50,' I thought. This was a joyous journey for me.
