Haa, haa, haa! this was the sound that trickled through the second layer of the cavern as a man carrying a woman in a piggyback style was running like there was no tomorrow, covered in sweat as he was merely a few feet away from a named monster that wanted to have a taste of his flesh that was hot on his trail!
Walter was beginning to understand what it felt like for Indiana jones during his adventures, especially now that he had a big ass monster, a large bleeding cut along its chest, chasing after him with Trisha in tow.
He was gasping for air as his heart was thumping hard and loudly in his chest from just how fast he was running hell Walter could make some Olympic runners eat his dust, but despite this, the normally slow misshapen was keeping close and gaining on him with every turn he had to make, and dodge from the blocking monsters that also wanted a piece of him!
Unfortunately for the monsters that he managed to slip through, they were immediately killed and also gave him the much needed time to widen the gap between them!
It was just that there were times when the monster would suddenly gain on him then try to attack just like at this moment!
*GROWL*
The snarl-like growl made him unconsciously scream/laugh/cry like a madman before he made a squeal of surprise as Amal made a swipe and thanks to how his body was positioned as he ran Walter's ass was more reachable than the plump butt of the rogue as a slight burning feeling trailed along his right butt cheek!
He was practically in tears from this before the man gained a slight boost in speed thanks to the pain, All while screaming at the top of his lungs.
"I fucking HATE DEMONS!!!"
With a bleeding butt cheek, Walter knew that he had to get away from the headhunter as he wasn't strong enough to handle it yet while Trisha other than helping point the way for him she was useless right now!
Not that she could help it as this Headhunter traumatized many of the rogues so it couldn't be helped one of the reasons why she didn't open up a portal was her stubbornness to find Silvia.
Hell that was the same reason why Walter was enduring the current predicament, other than the pleasant feeling on his back~
There was a light source that attracted Walter's attention before he made that his destination, he quickly summoned Jekyll, and Hairy hopefully to slow the charging tank of a monster down as well as help him deal with the additional monsters that shown up at this very moment to kill him.
Trisha spoke in a fury filled tone as the newcomers showed themselves.
"Vile hunters! You damned traitors!"
Walter was familiar with that name, they were rogues that willingly given their everything to Andariel for more power they were the cowards that gave up the monastery to stay alive, be one of the 'strong' and 'immortal'.
They excelled in traps, poisons, and curses thanks to their changes as other than the missing long ears any real otaku would easily mistaken them for Dark elves, even their tight bondage-like styled outfits was very invigorating, however, those dumb enough to fall for their wiles would suffer a horrible death that they love to slowly brutalize their victims until their last breath which can last for years as they loved degrading their victims before making them into pets as well.
Some of the victims that were brainwashed into loyal pets dressed in rags stained with blood acted as their vanguard or meatshields if they were that useless, the number of these victims throughout the years were over a few hundred as 2 vile hunters were giggling behind the horde of their minions.
Luckily for Walter, Hairy's troops surpassed these victims in quality of their equipment and discipline so they made short work of the blockade while Jekyll was struggling to buy some time for its master who was still running with the minions matching his pace before the Vile Hunters that cared too much for their lives went into hiding as Amal was willing to kill them too if they blocked his way!
He was starting to feel a little relieved before whispering to Trisha his current plan to escape the Headhunter Before the sound of a Goat bleating as Walter recognized it was the elder goat man, and he was really banged up but managed to get here despite missing a leg and a portion of his left forearm with his soul blade in his mouth while the rest of his body was covered in scratches, ruined clothes and lacerations that oozed out his lifeblood, yet he was still more than capable of killing almost any monster.
The bizarre thing though was when Balter saw Amal its eyes turned bloodshot before he showed Walter another application of the Soul blade skill... it can help create temporary limbs!
Balter stood up before making another loud Bleat!
Which actually made Amal stop chasing after Walter then turn towards the goat-man before roaring back at it!
So Walter could only assume one thing that popped up in his head at this very moment as both sides acted as if they were about to...Duel?
Balter looked towards Walter before giving him a subtle nod as if signaling him to run, He was gritting his teeth as hard as he could now as the man felt so helpless unable to do anything other than to rely on his summon to fight his battles for him it was a stifling feeling, but he needed to stay alive so he started running, comforting himself with the belief that Balter will come back just like the others before another message popped up a particular one that made him regret his wishful thinking.

Meanwhile, the two monsters that were having their deathmatch, upon receiving the signal both of them charged at each other, one full of fury and vengeance to protect its master while the other full of greed for more power!
(A/N my dear readers help me decide on what happens as I'll be waiting for two days and by then I'll be posting two or possibly more chapters when the decision is made~)
