Chapter 152: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Town Part 4
Not long after Kayn went inside another cave, the Molten Lizard swiftly passed by Natas and followed closely behind. It completely ignored the Storage Ring on the ground as it assumed that it was another trick.
After the four times it was fooled, the Molten Lizard believes that the Storage Ring where the Molten Magma Core can only be in the hands of Kayn and he would certainly never drop it.
Boom!
The Molten Lizard jumped into the cave where Kayn went to.
"Great," Kayn can't help muttering after glimpsing his back for a brief moment.
Although he had bought himself some time, the Molten Lizard is evidently able to quickly catch up to him and is now just a few meters behind him.
Fortunately for him, the path inside the cave was just a straight line so there's no need for him to consider where exactly Friedrich and Chastine are. However, the downside to it is he has to do his best to run as fast as possible because his distance with the Molten Lizard is only going to continue decreasing from here on out.
"Let's try this again," Kayn prayed deep inside that the same strategy would work.
Waving his hand, Kayn dropped another Storage Ring on the ground.
Regrettably, what Kayn hope to happen didn't take place as the Molten Lizard crashed the Storage Ring with its food and never even bother to check whether its decision causes it to lose the Molten Magma Core or not.
It wasn't all that bad though as that action exhibited by the Molten Lizard also further solidified Kayn's thought that it didn't notice the Molten Magma Core inside the Storage Ring that Natas was carrying.
That was a good boost in morale for Kayn, so his sprint became faster, thus slowly increasing the distance between him and the Molten Lizard.
After a few minutes of running around, Kayn finally spotted some traces of Friedrich and Chastine on the ground.
Strangely enough, many traces of magic spells being used, and some broken weapons were scattered on the ground.
As he continues to run deeper, he started seeing blood on the ground, albeit there were no bodies, but he is assuming that it's either because the owner is still alive or that their bodies are now stored inside a Storage Ring in order to clean up the mess.
"It seems like a fight broke out," Kayn muttered. He doesn't know why nor does he have a single clue about how it even happened.
"Maybe it's a bad thing that I am bringing them a Molten Lizard right now," He thought inwardly. He is hoping deep inside that their situation isn't bad.
On second thought, "Or perhaps this is a good thing since this Molten Lizard would no doubt disrupt whatever is taking place right now,"
With that thought in mind, Kayn no longer hesitated as he vigorously run to find Friedrich and Chastine.
As soon as Kayn reached a wide open space, he was immediately greeted by a battle between dozens of adventurer parties.
"Did a lot of people got inside that cave without me knowing?" Kayn felt shocked at the scene.
"Kayn?"
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice at the side.
As he look around, he immediately spotted Friedrich and Chastine standing at the side as if they were just casual bystanders watching a movie of some sort.
It wasn't strange why they don't feel the need to join the fight. After all, they are way beyond the league of these people, and not to mention it would be bullying if they indeed participated. But what's crazy is that no one actually dared to come at them and pick a fight, especially considering that there are only two of them, a mere warrior and a healer on top of that.
"Don't be surprised, some groups actually tried to pick a fight with us, but…" It was very obvious from the look on Kayn's face. Chastine took out a badge that shows that they are members of the Green Horn Knights. "I simply showed them this and they immediately understood. Quite an understanding bunch, I must say,"
"As if," Kayn rolled his eyes.
Only insane people would dare pick a fight with members of the Green Horn Knights as it is common knowledge that members of their group are known to be one of the best in 'The Bridge'.
Even though there are only two of them, only a fool wouldn't know that there are only four healers and a few warriors amongst the Green Horn Knights and all of them are scary people, and moreover the leaders of all squads are healers and warriors, hence they don't want to risk the chance of finding out if one of the two or either two are leaders of a squad, because if they are, the outcome is not something that anyone here would want to see.
"As for why there are so many people here; actually, only we came from that tunnel, the rest of them were already here when we got out. So, I asked some people in order to satisfy my curiosity," Chastine waves her hand. "Remember the three paths at the entrance, one of the other two apparently leads to this place,"
"I suppose this is where the path in the middle leads to," Kayn immediately understood.
"That's also my guess. But how are you so sure that it is,"
"Just a hunch,"
"Okay," Chastine could only choose to believe Kayn.
"By the way…" Kayn almost forgot.
All of a sudden, everyone felt the ground shaking.
"What did you do," Chastine stares at Kayn, obviously knowing that this was caused by him.
"I had to do what I needed to do in order to get what I came here for,"
"It better not be something that would endanger our lives here,"
"Does that include the rest of them," Kayn referred to the other people who have now decided to momentarily stop fighting each other to see what the shaking is all about.
"Whether they live or die in this place is entirely up to them," Friedrich finally spoke after choosing to remain silent ever since Kayn arrived. He waves his hand and immediately took out his sword. "So, what kind of monster is it?"
"A Molten Lizard. Something we could definitely handle,"
"Okay, I'll take care of it," Before stepping inside the tunnel, Friedrich glimpses at a bunch of guys that reeks the aura of dangerous criminals and quietly warned Kayn and Chastine, "I will ask you later as to why you led the Molten Lizard to us, but in the meantime, make sure to watch out for those guys,"
Kayn and Chastine immediately understood why.
