Chapter 135 The lonely fortress and the Crawler
Katie took up the job of librarian, a job that most students thought was boring. But Katie didn't mind, because compared to the complicated interpersonal relationships at that academy, she preferred to enjoy being immersed inside the library.
Until, a young man appeared.
Watching Kain meticulously select each book, Katie thought back to five months ago, when she first met Kain.
At that time, rumors about a stupid student named Kain had spread throughout the first years. So much so that even Katie had heard of him.
She didn't pay much attention until he appeared in this always deserted library.
"I want to borrow a book on magic, do you have any recommendations?"
Kain asked her so.
Katie felt strange at first, but out of curiosity she helped him.
And that's how the two became friends.
The longer Katie was around, the more she felt the rumors out there were just baseless words.
Kain was not only not stupid, but he was also very intelligent, if not extremely learned. What impressed Katie was Kain's amazing memory. So much so that after just a few weeks, he had memorized the locations of all kinds of books, even better than Katie. Read new chapters at empire
But what really attracted someone like Katie to him was his purity.
Kain never tried to show off, nor did he show off to anyone. When he went to the library, his eyes were always focused on the words, steady and surprisingly attentive.
Katie lifted her glasses slightly, while Kain sat in his usual position, starting to read.
To tell the truth, her goal was to make good use of these three years of study to improve her magical abilities, in order to achieve her goal of becoming a teacher at Kanzax Academy. Katie didn't think she would get involved in something like teenage love or anything like that.
But then, she had the thought that if it was the guy over there, it would be worth a try.
Katie gathered her courage and approached the table where Kain was reading intently.
Sensing someone approaching, Kain raised his head.
"Do you have something to say, Katie?"
Kain spoke calmly. As for Katie, her words were almost stuck in her throat.
That's so shy.
"He must be upset to be bothered..."
Such a thought crossed Katie's mind.
In some ways, at least when immersed in knowledge, Katie thought she and Kain were quite similar. And whenever she was interrupted while concentrating, she would also be less friendly than usual.
However, when Katie looked into Kain's eyes, she only saw his calm golden pupils, without any hatred or annoyance directed towards her. This helped Katie regain some courage.
"Well... I was wondering if you were free next week..."
"Sorry Katie, I really didn't have time then, thanks for asking."
Kain replied politely.
This made Katie's eyes dim slightly. She was not in a bad mood, and had obviously noticed Kain's polite aloofness. However, when her eyes glanced down at the book Kain was reading, something else appeared in her mind.
"Kain, are you planning on going to the Misty Dungeon soon?"
"Oh, how do you know?"
"It's a book, and right now the students in the combat department are recruiting Magus with [Life Magic] in a big way."
Even Katie was invited, she just hadn't decided yet.
"That place is dangerous Kain, do you really want to go there?"
"Some friends needed my help, so I had to be there."
Kain spoke in an unusually resolute tone.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Katie also couldn't continue to advise, she could only wish him well and return to her position as librarian.
Kain continued to focus on the book, which recorded the information on the first floor of the Dungeon.
Even just the first floor, the vastness of the Misty Dungeon was already beyond dispute.
Gray mist enveloped the entire floor structure, starting from the transition all the way to the entrance to the guardian monster's room.
The terrain on the first floor is mainly dense forest, sometimes flat plains with nothing but grass.
Because the fog causes disorientation, a complete map of the first floor of the Dungeon does not exist yet, only rough directions.
Still, it's not without good news.
It was at the upper middle of the first floor, there was a place that belonged to humanity.
A lonely fortress.
Dungeons are always reconstructed after a period of time, not only monsters are restored but also the terrain. However, the Dungeon will not touch the architectural structures built inside.
However, the conditions to maintain a fortress in the Dungeon were too expensive, so this place was abandoned.
Kain thought that he and the students would be dropped down to survive there. Because the fortress itself was a necessary condition to add to the ability to survive. Accommodation, defense, gathering place... this fortress had everything.
Next, it's about the types of monsters that appear on the first floor of the Misty Dungeon.
Zombie, Skeleton, Slime, of course.
In addition, Reaper also reappears in this Dungeon.
But the four monsters above are not the main point.
Because there is another kind of monster that anyone who dares to step foot here must be aware of.
That's Crawler.
Crawler, a monster that looks quite similar to a human but is slightly taller. It has a tall and thin body, is good at hiding, and is also good at sneak attacks. This type of monster is extremely fast, and can take the life of its prey with its claws in an instant.
So, if you see a human figure looming in the fog, it's best to be careful, because it may not be human.
This crawler was truly a terror to the soldiers who had been stationed at the lonely fortress. The ability to hide and sneak attack of this monster was too terrifying. Many times, when people woke up, they only saw other soldiers on guard duty, now only half of their bodies were hanging from trees.
Brutal, bloodthirsty and cunning.
