CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: THE ANOMALY 6

[Shadow hop]

"Swoosh..swoosh..."

Vice was training completely oblivious to the rain outside until

"Drip"

Water dripped onto his head, it made him stop training he looked to the cave exit "why is it raining?"

He walked to the exit "did Chris die?" He closed his eyes to sense if Chris mana was still in his body

"Chris is not dead then why is it raining?" He stood their trying to think of anything that would help him then he remembered Chris last word before leaving the dungeon

’He said"I hope the bats and nagas give you a horrible death" so that what he meant I thought he was just being a bitch’ Vice smiled as he realised the loophole in contract

"But how did bats and nagas get out from their dungeons without their cores? it shouldn’t be possible" he walked back into the cave "the only way they can their dungeons without the core is a forced dungeon break but that only happens when the core has been removed for two weeks unless.." his eyes widen at the realisation "so the moment a dungeon core is consumed by another dungeon the dungeon is destroyed"

He walked back to the cave exit and looked at the forest "now that explains why the forest felt a little family its was a replica of the C-Rank dungeon combined with the rat dungeon" he walked back into the cave but then stopped

’Wait doesn’t that mean bats and nagas know this place as well, I need to leave this place before they arrive’ as Vice was about to turn around and leave, the cave suddenly turned dark.

"Axel you were right this place looks like our old home but a lot smaller" Vice heard a voice behind him but did not turn to look who the voice belonged to

"Yes and water systems of this place is the same as that of those damn nagas" Vice felt eyes looking at him but he did not turn to look

’It’s bats they bit first and listen later in need to get out of here’ Vice turn around to see three bats blocking the axit

"But Axel that doesn’t make sense the humans took our core after kill the boss" Vice looked at the two drooling bats at the back

"Yes they did same thing to the nagas" the bat at front stared at Vice " You wouldn’t know any thing about that would you?" Axel spoke to Vice

Vice crouched down and reached into his shadow space "I just found out from you my lords"

’Non of you fuckers are going to bit me this time’ Vice gritted his teeth as he held a scroll in his shadow space

"Thats odd a few days ago we got a human tool from you rats then after that we were attacked by humans it’s almost as if you rats are working with the humans" Axel and the other bats walked closer to Vice

Vice stood up and instantly hid the scroll behind his back then stepped away from the approaching bats "are you accusing the rats of selling you out to the humans? How?"

"I know it sounds strange but its the only thing that makes sense, why don’t you show me what you hiding" Axel smiled as he approached Vice

"Thud"

Vice’s back hit a wall

"I won’t hurt you just show me what your hiding" Axel stop moving when he saw a familiar paper

"I know you won’t me because you going to die here" Vice tore the scroll[Shadow hop] he reappeared behind the two drooling bats and ran for the exit

"Ru.."

"BOOOM!"

Axel was speaking when the scroll exploded destroying the cave as Vice ran the explosion threw him out of the cave

"Why is everything in two’s" Vice was a little woozy from rolling down the hill he was struggling to walk straight

He took out a healing potion and drank it as fast he could

"Bleh"

"I will never get used to that flavor" all his wounds healed up fast, once was at peak conditions he looked around [Shadow vail] Vice hid in the shade of a tree when he saw multiple bats in the sky

’if I go to the lake the nagas are probably there the best thing I can do now is hid between the tree’s and wait’

"THUD!"

Vice looked to the top of the hill to see what made that noise

"SRCEEEECH!!"

"How is it even alive" Vice looked at Axel who had broken wings screech loud enough to be heard by the whole forest

After that screech Vice could see Axel look straight at him ’no it shouldn’t be able to see’ he stepped back ready to run if Alex attacks

"NAGAS AND BATS!!!" Alex yelled from the top of his lungs

’Wait why is it not moving’ Vice walked a little closer to see, then he grinned ’that bastard lower body is trapped he must be screaming for help’ he crouched down

’it does look painful ,let me help you go to sleep’ Vice took out his dagger and ran up the hill to kill Axel

"THAT RATMAN IS WORKING WITH THE HUMANS AND HAS THE STONE OF LIFE!!!" Axel dropped dead after screwing Vice

Vice eyes widen as he stood in the open on the hill, he looked up to see every bat looking at him he look to the ground to see the nagas moving throw the trees to his position

His eyes were looking for anything that could help him then he looked at a cave ’the caves are interconnected if I enter it the bats will have a home ground advantage but if stay here..’ he didn’t to finish that thought he ran for that cave like his life depended on it because it did

The nagas at the bottom frowned when they saw Vice enter the cave but the bats they grinned as they all entered different caves closing every exit Vice could use

Vice had now entered his tomb
