CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: THE ANOMALY 12

[Shadow vail] Vice activated his skill and followed Taylor

********

When Taylor stepped out of the cave the bats saw the stone of life and flew down

"I assume you brought the stone of life here to hand it over" the bat reached out its wing it seemed to be expecting Taylor to put the stone on its wing

Taylor slithered past the delusional bat he was in a bad mood and wasn’t interested in entertaining the bats but as he walked past the bat at front the one’s in the back blocked him

"I was being nice to you, now give it to me or?" The bat spoke as it turned around and looked at Taylors back

"Or what?" Taylor slithered to the bat and stare it down

"...."

The bat said nothing

"That what I thought, we had a deal that we get the core and you get the rats so don’t annoy me" Taylor slithered down the hill.

As he slithered past the tree’s Taylor he felt as if he was being followed but he did not bother to look who was following him he already knew

"Hey everyone Taylor is back" a naga with red scales slithered to Taylor as he came out of the trees

Every naga’s looked at Taylor when the saw him holding the stone of life.

Taylor slithered past the naga that was going to welcome his as it stood there frozen in shock, he slithered to the 8 foot green naga that was looking at him

"Father I found the stone of life" Taylor put the crystal down and back away from it,

The green naga slithered to the crystal and touched it "You told me that the humans have the stone of life" the green naga looked at Taylor

Taylor lowered his head and spoke "That rat man lied to use father"

"Then tell where is the ratman" it slithered to Taylor

"Father I killed it" as Taylor spoke the green naga narrowed its eyes

"Then why does the stone of life tell me that I cannot rule" every naga lowered its heads as their leader spoke and Taylor slithered back moving away from his father

"Before the ratman died" Taylor closed his eyes "it said that the human used their tools on the stone of life"

"Thud"

The naga hit Taylor with its tail throwing him 10 metres away then it slowly slithered to Taylor "did you not think to bring the ratman to me"

"Aghh"

Taylor picked himself up and he looked to his father and bowed "It had nothing useful to tell you father"

"And who are you to judge whats useful to me?" The naga hands balled into a fist

"It said the humans will come to fix the core if it is at the edge of this region" the naga stopped and turned to the crystal

"When will they come?" It slithered to the crystal

"They have entered the forest" Taylor wiped the mud that was on him ’ever since the previous leader died he’s acting like a king’ Taylor clenched his jaw

"Beth go to those filthy bats tell them to fly to the edge of this region" the naga looked at the red naga that bowed and slithered away

"Everyone else go to the edge" The naga grabbed the crystal and slithered to edge of the core region

"All hail king Viper!" the nagas yelled as they followed Viper

********

’So much exp’ Vice smiled as he looked at the nagas

’I know its a bad idea but if I kill 30 nagas I hit level 115 in instant’ Vice then looked to the naga that was at front

’He’s B-Rank, if I wait and they meet the human I’ll get my chance’ Vice grinned as he looked at the free exp

’The plan was to let them fight in middle region while I hide in the core but now’ his greed was in full control, he was using this chance to finish his mission and evolve

’The problem is how do I stop Chris academy from sending people into the dungeon’ with Chris contract terminated he had no leverage to stop hunters from entering the dungeon

’I need to do something that will make them ban any hunter from entering the dungeon’ Vice did not want to spend most of his days defending the dungeon, he saw dungeon as his prison not home

[Dungeon core must remain in boss room until the dungeon is safe]

The notification snapped Vice back to reality, he looked at Viper who was trying to push the dungeon core through the invisible wall

"We will wait here for the humans" Viper gave up and put the core on the ground

The bats were flying above Vipers head looking at the core

"Tsk I need to move a little closer" Vice knew his shadow will be noticed if went any closer to Viper he needed to upgrade his skill

*********

Vice used shadow hop moving from tree to tree to get closer to Viper but when he arrived to the closest tree near Viper

He saw three figures appear from the middle region

"Finaly some monster" Raz smiled as he ran to the nagas with his longsword

’What is he doing here?’ Vice stared at Raz, his plan involved C-Rank hunters the fact that he was seeing a B-Rank hunter in his dungeon told him something had gone wrong

"Raz don’t run off, we are here to destroy the dungeon not fight!" Lilith yelled at Raz while Vice eyes widen as he realised his mistake

’They are not here to fight they here to take the core and leave’ his eyes looked at the core ’what will happen to me if they take the core?’

Vice thought about all the times he saw forced dungeon breaks happen the boss monster was always gone

"The is nothing wrong with killing the monsters, after all it lessens my burden when the dungeon breaks" Vice looked at the man with dreadlocks

"No" Vice took a step back a he looked at Tyson who had the aura of an A-Rank hunter
