372 You wanted more action, you're going to get it !
Once everything was picked up Kevin asked Axel : “How many rooms are there ?”
Axel then used his mother’s bloodline which was much more powerful than before since he had evolved into a divine Werewolf and he said to Kevin with a frown : “Just one more before the dungeon boss, I still can’t feel the presence of the summoned creatures but there are 7 summoners in the next room so there should be a lot of them… Has the number of summoned creatures increased yet ?”
Kevin shook his head and he told him : “Not yet … Axel, we’re still too far away from them, I can’t use my Chains of Restraint from here to block them, we’ll have to move as quickly as possible.”
Axel shook his head then and he told him, reminding him : “The tunnel to go there is very small so we won’t be able to move very fast, and by the way, your men are still not used to run like us, so we need to adapt our speed to them.”
Mykael, who had been standing close to them then said : “Axel is right, we can’t go too fast in this tunnel. Let’s go, we have already emptied this room anyway, and if by any chance there’s high grade Verarium in the next room, it will take you a while to get it out and for once we don’t have much time.”
[0)ᴠʟ Kevin nodded then and when Axel saw that everyone had regrouped around them he told them to follow him and just after they had entered the tunnel that was leading them in the next room, Kevin received warning messages from his system..
[ WARNING ]
Number of summoned creatures increased by 200, Optional Quest 2 update : 76 / 1 200
[WARNING ]
Number of summoned creatures increased by 150, Optional Quest 2 update : 76 / 1 350
Kevin swore and he then said : “Theo, you wanted more action, you’re going to get it, their number has just increased by 350 and I still can’t block them, damn it !”
Axel then said to him : “You should be able to feel them soon, we’re getting closer, get ready.”
And as he said this he stood in front of him and said through their telepathic link, ‘Get on my back, it will be easier for you to focus on them… And if I don’t carry you as usual it’s only because your men are there and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.’
Kevin immediately climbed on his back and he gave him a quick kiss on the back of his neck he said to him then, ‘Ya, you would better avoid doing this while my men are there or it’s going to really piss me off.’
And then he deployed his senses to the fullest, and as soon as he spotted the 7 summoners’ energies, he unleashed his Chains of Restraint that went full speed to imprison them.
Kevin then said to him still through their telepathic link, ‘It’s done, too bad we couldn’t move faster in this narrow tunnel, they wouldn’t have had time to summon other creatures if we had been faster.’
Axel said, ‘In any case your men are not used to moving at the same speed as us, and even if they adapt rather quickly they are far from being able to follow us.’
He then added, ‘But that’s not a bad thing, as Theo pointed out, a few more summoned creatures won’t hurt us after all we’re nine to fight, and it’s a good thing that my father doesn’t participate in the battles or it wouldn’t even be fun anymore.’
He heard Kevin’s laughter in his head and after another 10 minutes they finally arrived in front of the largest room he had seen so far, he immediately asked Kevin : “How many are there ?”
And Kevin immediately read them the summary that the system had just sent him.
[ SUMMARY ]
7 Warrior Wizards
224 Dead Wizards
643 Dead Knights
Mathias whistled when he saw the huge room that must have been 5 or 6 soccer fields and that was filled with these summoned creatures, and he said : “This time, we won’t step on each other’s toes, we’ll wait for your signal boss.”
And Kevin before giving it to them, looked at Mykael and when he saw him nod his head he immediately felt reassured and he knew he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to anyone, so Kevin ended up saying to them : “This room is big enough for everyone, so spread out a little bit so you won’t get in each other’s way.”
And as soon as he said that he rushed into the room followed immediately by Axel, Alan and Erik, who had passed again in Stage 2, and Brice then held back Mathias and the others and he said to them forgetting his promise to keep his mouth shut : “And if we made a small contest just between us, the Dead Knights count for 1 point and the Dead Wizards for 2 points.”
Mason then said to him at once : “I’m in, but we better follow them quickly because they’re not kidding over there, they’re exterminating them.”
Everyone nodded and they hurried towards the remaining spaces, while keeping a good distance from each other as Kevin had suggested.
And Mykael, once they were all gone to fight, nonchalantly leaned against the wall of the entrance while remaining vigilant and as he was watching them fight he really felt like he was a baby-sitter.
He still had to intervene several times by creating shields around them when their bodyguards weren’t quick enough to stop all the fireballs coming at them, but overall, despite the sheer number of the summoned creatures, they had all done very well.
Kevin’s men were already starting to use their chakra when they were fighting which was really surprising because using chakra was really new to them.
But thinking about it, and now that he knew his son-in-law a little better, he knew that he wouldn’t have wasted his time training men if they didn’t have exceptional skills and huge potential.
