CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: THE DAILY STRUGGLES OF A BOSS 6

"I been waiting for a while where is she?" He was pacing up and dawn "I’ll have to find Jones my self" he walked to the middle region.

The forest reminded him of the C-Rank dungeon he came from but the mana here seemed odd, as he kept walking he saw two figures wait at the edge of the middle region

"Can you tell me how you become a ratman" Jones looked up at Valeria waiting for an answer

"I told you already I don’t know it happened" she shrugged her shoulders and smiled

"You always smile when you lie that’s why you suck at it" Jones spoke making Valeria look away from him

"Ok I won’t ask but what did you call me for?" He spoke in a serious tone

"...."

She opened mouth the shut it this was the hundredth time she tried to tell but failed

"I called you here" Jones and Valeria turn to look at the approaching silhouette

When Valeria saw who was approaching her nostrils flared as she crossed her arm

"You must be Jones" Vice spoke as he looked down

Jones looked a Valeria who seemed to be in a bad mood then looked up to Vice "Yes how can I help"

Vice crouched down "Jones you know that everyone is in danger from the nagas and bats?"

Jones nodded his head then Vice continued "they can come any time they want kill everyone we love..."

Jones looked to the ground and clenched his jsw as Vice spoke "...but I think you can save everyone"

"How?" Jones looked to Vice waiting for answer while Valeria leaned closer

’Good fool’ Vice smiled when he saw how eager Jones was to die and he didn’t mind helping him out.

He took out a purple crystal and few scrolls and put them in front of Jones

"All you have to do is touch the core and you be in a different place with glowing red rocks do you understand?" He looked at Jones waiting for answer

"Whats the core?" Vices eye twitched when he head that question.

"This is a dungeon core" he pointed to the crystal with a fake smile on his face.

Valeria and Jones spoke at the same time "that’s the stone of life"

"...."

’Im trying to save your lives and your greatest concern is what I call a damn rock’ Vice paused and looked at them.

"Ok you touch it and you’ll be in a different place do you understand now?" Jones nodded his head seeing this he continued

"Once your in this place the will some green thing in front of you, you understand?" Jones nodded his head and he continued

"Ok when you see the green thing ignore it and run in the opposite direction until you see some rocks that have gaps between them, you un.."

"Yes I understand" Jones spoke

’This little shit if didn’t need him motivated for this suicide mission’ Vice bit his lip before continuing

"Ok then you squeeze your self through those rocks then once outside you tear this paper" he pointed to the scrolls on the ground

"What does it do" Jones walked closer to the scrolls

"It explodes" when he said those words Jones and Valeria stepped back

"he’s going to die if he does that" Valeria looked at Vice

"No its a noble sacrifice for our people" Vice side eyed Valeria

"....."

’I can always find the person he loves and threaten to kill them if doesn’t do it’ he thought as he waited for Jones response

"I’ll do it" Jones word put a smile on Vice’s face

"Good your a hero I will make sure the next generation knows about your greatness" Vice lied with a smile on his face

"All I have to do is tear it and it will explode?"Jones asked as he looked at the scroll

"Yes that all" Vice eyes narrowed as he looked at Jones ’why is he asking questions he’s not having second thoughts is he I guess I have to threaten to kill the people he loves’ he looked at Valeria

’Will he do it if I threaten to kill her lets find out’ he crouched down put his hand in his shadow taking out a dagger

"All I need is a vine" as he was about to attack Valeria, Jones spoke

"Yes a vine" he put the dagger back and smiled ’why does he need a vine? No its a good thing he’s willing to do it’

"Ok I’ll go get the vine" Jones ran back to the middle region leaving Valeria and Vice in silence

.....

...

After while he returned holding three vines with his mouth ’this little shit better not fuck up my plan’ Vice smile as Jones arrived

"Ok lets start" Vice spoke as he took out a pouch give it to Jones "open it and put everything you’ll need inside"

Jones nodded and put in his vine with three scroll ’why is this basted taking three scroll when he’s going to die on the first scroll’ Vice smile as his veins engorged

"Ok I’m ready" Jones went to the core and touched it

[Exit use request(Y/N)]

"I’ll be ba.." Vice pressed yes before Jones could finish speaking

"let’s hope he doesn’t fail" Vice said as he walked back to the core region

"What is going to happen when he’s done?" Valeria asked as she walked behind Vice

"He is going to get support" Vice didn’t bother turning back

Valeria smile as she heard he words "so you have friends that are stronger than the nagas and bats combined"

"No" he kept walking

She stopped smiling and walking "are they not your friends or are they not strong than the bats and nagas?"

"They are not my friends" he kept walking

She smiled and ran to him "ok if they are not your friend who are they?"

"Humans" when he answered she froze and watched him walk away

Luttecity

"Ms Luna we captured almost all the beast that got out of the destroyed dungeon" A man with a scruffy beard and a navy suit spoke

"What do you mean almost all Raz?" Luna stood from her chair and walked around her table

"The pantig is hard to locate, originally it seemed to be going to the mine" Raz took a step back as his boss walked closer

"Then" she spoke

"We intercepted it but it used the shadow hop skill and vanished" Raz took a another step back

"Where did it go Raz?" her arm turned to fire as she walked closer to Raz

"We don’t know but we confident it didn’t enter the mine" Raz gritted his teeth as Luna raised her burning hand to touch his face

"Knock..knock"

"Saved by the door" she spoke as the flames on her hand vanished

She walked back to her chair and sat down "Raz find out what caused the dungeon to be destroyed and find someone to train those embers wolves, now leave"

Raz left the room and a wrinkled face with a beard entered

"Yule what bad news do you bring this time" she looked at Yule waiting for a response

Yule looked at the exit before speaking and the door was still open "The has been three explosion near the mine"

"Sigh"

She made a heavy and leaned back on her chair "you can leave I’ll contact the academy to clear those dungeons tonight or we’ll do it ourselves"

Yule nodded and left the room

Luna press he watch

"ring ring"

She called the academy
