'Heh, I win.'
Raven's words after killing most of the enemy in a single strike got imprinted to everyone's mind.
His face and smug smirk when he said it bothered them and made them frown.
Even Alec who's not really trying to compete with anyone got riled up...
Anyway, as Adelle, Curtis, Eve, Alec, and Aoi were in that state.
"Hey guys."
Raven called out for them, which made them look at him.
But their eyes immediately got attracted to Yuki who's cutely resting on top of Raven's head.
"What is it?"
Eve asked Raven in behalf of everyone.
"We lost Blake."
And Raven casually responded to her.
"..."
"..."
As soon as everyone heard what Raven said, they became silent.
They all looked around...
...
...
And indeed...
Blake is nowhere to be found.
"I didn't notice too, it was Yuki who told me."
Raven said.
-Kyuu!
And Yuki proudly tweeted.
"What the hell..."
Curtis mumbled in disbelief.
He can't believe that Blake ran off somewhere without him noticing.
It's not just him, everyone is, including Raven.
With their superhuman senses and surrounding awareness skills, it was absurd to not notice immediately when someone disappeared...
Though, even with that, the group aren't really worried at all.
Because they know that even though Blake is an idiot, he's someone who wouldn't be defeated by some undead.
"So, what should we do now?"
Alec asked the others.
"Should we all split up and search for him?"
Then he added.
At his suggestion, Raven shook his head...
Then he pointed above his head, or to be specific, he pointed at Yuki.
"It'll be much faster if Yuki do the searching."
Raven said.
"And while she's searching for that idiot, let's all get some rest."
Then he added.
(He's pretty tired after showing off and using a powerful attack...)
"I agree."
"Me too."
Eve and Aoi voiced out their agreement to Raven's suggestion.
And after that, the others nodded their heads, agreeing too with Raven.
"It's decided then."
Raven said.
Then he took Yuki from his head using both of his hands carefully.
"You understood us, right?"
Raven asked, looking down at Yuki.
-Kyuu!
And Yuki energetically replied while nodding her head.
"Good."
Raven smiled and patted Yuki's head.
"Off you go."
Then he made Yuki fly up in the ceiling of the dungeon.
"Don't forget to use your stealth skill, some undeads are still lurking around."
-Kyuuu!
Raven reminded Yuki as he watches her fly away to search for Blake.
'He's like my dad sometimes...'
Eve, Aoi, and Adelle thought as they witness Raven and Yuki's interactions.
***
Meanwhile...
A few hundreds of meters away from Raven and the others...
BAM!
-GRAAAH!
BOOM!
"Keuk..!"
Blake is battling a 3 meter tall-buffed undead!
"Man... Where's everyone..."
Blake mumbled as he distanced himself to the undead.
"I can't believe them, I'm their tanker and they left me behind."
Blake grumbled in disbelief...
The undead that he's battling is also keeping his distance against him.
The buffed undead is wary and displeased at Blake.
They're both fighting each other for quite a while now...
Blake's shallow but many wounds are the evidence of it.
The undead also accumulated some damage too from Blake's attacks, it's not just that easy to notice because of its already shit appearance.
How Blake do damage to the undead when he's using a shield, you ask?
Well, Blake is using his shield to do blunt attacks, like bashing and other else he can think of.
And by imbuing mana in his shield, Blake can do some serious damage to the undead...
Now, how did Blake end up in this situation, you ask?
Well, when Raven took off somewhere alone and the others followed him.
Blake got a little left behind as he's the slowest in the group.
(Not slowest in stat, he have much heavier equipment so...)ραпdα `n?ν?| сom
But Blake can still follow the others by following their tracks.
Though, as he is doing so, he encountered a different group of undeads.(24 undeads to be exact)
The undeads saw him and ganged up at him, keeping him in place and completely being left behind.
Well, Blake took care of the undeads without even sweating with just blunt attacks so I didn't write it.
(I'm just actually lazy...)
Anyway, after taking care of the undeads, that's when a huge-ass buffed undead came out.
It ambushed Blake!
Fortunately though, even with Blake getting ambushed by getting his back slashed with the undead's disgusting claws.
He was fine. Why?
It's because Blake's defense is disgustingly high that he just felt a scratch on his back...
The buffed undead, who have some intelligence way above the other undeads...
(The buffed undead is actually a mini boss...)
Was baffled as how Blake took his attack like it was nothing, resulting it to be wary of Blake.
-Kraaaaah..
Though, the undead's patience is running out.
He had been attacking Blake again and again, but Blake is not even showing any sign of fatigue or getting hurt!
"Ugh, your breath stinks... I wish Raven was here so he could cast a silence spell on you and make you close your damn mouth."
Blake rambled with a frown.
If the undead could fully understand his words, it would be fuming by now and wanting to kill Blake even more.
Though, it's not actually needed...
-GRAAAHHH!
Bam!
The undead rushed at Blake without a plan, its patience really ran out when it saw Blake talking without care about him.
"I should really finish this and follow the others."
Blake calmly said as he looks at the undead getting close to him.
"<Absolute Defense>"
Then, Blake activated one of his skills.
It's a level 4 skill that multiplies Blake's defense by 10 for 10 seconds!
The undead reached Blake in no time.
Swoosh-
And it punched out toward Blake's head, with the intention to smash it!
The undead's buffed arms seems like screaming as it got bigger!
The undead is using its all strength for this attack as he wants to finish it all now!
BOOM!
The undead's fist then hit Blake's face!
Swoosh-
And a shockwave followed after his punch!
-!!!
But the undead was surprised...
Blake... Didn't budge at all.
He was just casually looking up at the undead's unreadable face.
"God, your attacks aren't that much different from the other undeads."
Blake mumbled in disappoinment.
The undead didn't really understand Blake's words, but it did know one thing... He's in trouble.
He gave his all and it was still ineffective against Blake!
So the undead was about to back away from Blake and flee.
But before even doing so...
Boom!
-??!!
He felt a strong strike on his face!
-GRAAAHHH!!!
And the undead felt it in the same place he punched Blake!
This is Blake's another skill, <Damage Transfer>!
It's a level 2 skill that allows Blake to transfer the damage he received within 5 seconds to anyone he's in physical contact with!
Though, the force and the damage transferred would only be halved.
Anyway, because of surprise too, that was enough to knock down the buffed undead butt first on the floor.
-Krrrghh...
The undead was confused at what just happened.
He looked up to face Blake.
-???
But he only saw a big-ass shield in front of him.
And behind that shield is Blake with an emotionless expression.
"<Shield Bash>"
Blake mumbled.
And immediately after doing so...
Swiish-
His shield shone brightly!
Bam!
And Blake dashed forward with full force!
BOOM!
SPLASH!
Blake's shield collided with the floor and dug a small hole on it!
And after that, Blake stood up and fixed himself(appearance wise).
And the undead... Its upper body was crushed beyond recognition.
It was killed without even a chance to let out a sound.
Blood of it and its rotten organs splattered everywhere, even all over Blake.
"This is disgusting..."
Blake mumbled.
-Kyuuu!
Then he heard a familiar cute sound above him.
Blake immediately looked up...
And he saw a white cotton flying in circles above him.
"Oh, it's good to see you, Yuki."
Blake said with a smile.
