CHAPTER 18: SEPARATED IN DUNGEON COLLAPSE

18 Separated in Dungeon Collapse

"We have been surrounded, Leader, what will we do?

Alex tried to use his gravitational authority to repel an undead hunter, but felt resistance as if something heavier than the physical body was holding them down, which was very, very strange.

Before the enemies could reach the four, something unexpected happened, the pulsating veins on the walls acted violently as if they were sucking a quantity of black liquid.

Just as the group prepared for battle, an evil glow filled the narrow corridor, creating a magical circle beneath their feet, spreading through the cracks like a living organism.

The ground shook as if something deep down had awakened above them, the whole place seemed to be collapsing in large blocks, the walls began to move with the thunderous sound, it was as if the gears of a clock were moving.

Barriers have been erected covering everyone’s view

Alex reached out to Felix but it was too late, Joana was dragged to the left by a current of air of complete darkness, Felix screamed for the sword saint before disappearing through a tunnel that opened before his feet, Arnaldo disappeared behind an ancient stone wall.

Alex turned into a new, completely silent room that was eventually broken by the sounds of footsteps.

The shape of the room was circular, but the floor was filled with deep cracks as if countless battles had been fought in that place, inside the air rippled violently, distorting.

Alex clenched his fist, feeling his sword Excalibur call to him from his inventory, in a flash of purple light, the sword took form in his hands, vibrating with lightning energy.

perception attribute to its limit, the environment unfolded in his mind, vibration in the air and the metallic sounds coming from above his current position.

The slow footsteps became more present, dragging themselves along the ceiling just above Alex’s head. At the same moment, Excalibur was raised and the three figures fell from the shadows where they were hiding.

The first to reveal itself was a spectral archer, wielding a translucent bow like a flickering flame in its dead eyes. Its arrows ignored walls and armor, aiming directly at the opponent’s HP .

The second undead hunter was a warrior who wielded a flaming sword, brandishing the sword that emanated necromancy flames that drained and burned the life force of his opponents.

And the last undead hunter was the most dangerous and strongest among them, he was a Bone Guardian, he carried a grotesque shield made of human skull spines, capable of reflecting part of the blows received.

Alex advanced among his enemies

Active skill Lightning Step Lv2

Surrounded by lightning on his body, Alex appeared behind the undead hunter spectral archer, thanks to his perception and luck attribute, he was able to identify the core.

The creature fired an arrow that pierced through the gravitational defense, draining Alex’s HP directly,

(HP -15)

The flaming swordsman charged forward, each strike releasing wave after wave of purple flames that burned the ground and slowed him down.

fucking bastards , I’m going to end you all."

(Gravity Manipulation Lv2)

The weight around the enemies increased due to Alex’s skill, but apparently it wasn’t enough to take them all down, the grotesque guardian advanced despite its weight having been doubled, forcing Alex to retreat a little to recover, the archer fired from an elevated position.

Alex had to expend a lot of his energy and speed to dodge the arrows and flames,

Taking advantage of an opening, Alex used his lightning pace to the maximum, appearing behind the archer, he stuck Excalibur in the core, turning it to dust, then channeled all his strength attribute into a descending blow against the flaming swordsman, destroying his core.

The wounded guardian blocked the final attack and counterattacked, forcing Alex to crush the shield with maximum gravity before delivering the final blow.

Silence returned to the room, but his perception attribute told him he was under observation.

"I’ve finally finished them off, now I must hurry to find the others."

Alex broke the wall of the room, creating an opening through which he exited, giving access to a different space.

His perception stretched everywhere in search of signs of life, but the place seemed like a lifeless desert ahead.

Suddenly several orcs appeared, preventing us from advancing.

The smell of rotting corpses infested Alex’s nostrils, for a moment he wished he had no nostrils. Twenty undead orcs surrounded him, forming a wall of putrid flesh, their yellowed fangs bared, reddish eyes burning with hatred.

Excalibur flashed with purple lightning.

Lightning Step Lv2

Alex disappeared, a purple glow cut through the darkness and the first orc fell headless, before the corpse completely fell to the ground, Alex had reappeared in another spot, he pierced the chest of the second orc like a hot knife sliding through butter, the black core that beat like an unholy heart was ripped out of the orc ’s chest .

With his polished swordsmanship, he struck twice and four orcs fell to the ground, their joints throbbing as they tried to move. Alex advanced like lightning, a precise movement and three heads fell together, separated from their bodies.

A diagonal slash from Excalibur split two undead orcs in half, but with one bounce four were sliced to pieces.

The last orc roared furiously, but the purple blade penetrated its skull, causing an explosion.

Silence returned, Only Alex remained there, his breathing quickened, Excalibur glowing dimly.

Arnaldo opened his attribute window to find something that could get him out of this situation.
