Chapter 29 - Slaughter Phase

Three Rank 1 Fallen Regulators could be seen running down the corridor, all armed with their Fallen Relics.

Recognized as the assassins who had left Lenny in such a dire state.

The identified Transformer led the charge with the Space Bender, and the third Fallen Regulator followed from behind.

Due to his heightened sense of smell, the Transformer was the perfect entity to track down the wounded Lenny.

They were currently trailing Lenny's blood scent.

"How far is Lenny from us?" The Space Bender asked, his eyes flickering with determination.

Ready to chop Lenny into pieces.

Meanwhile, the third Fallen Regulator, who was with Crystal the entire time, remained quiet.

Not uttering a single word, his face hidden under the mask he wore.

The Transformer exhaled a soft sigh, "Not too far from us" He reported, the Space Bender nodded, "I'm still surprised how that brat was able to get this far"

"Was he holding back against us?" He curiously asked.

The Transformer shook his head, "No, I doubt that...it must have something to do with a technique taught to him by the Great House Night"

"That Great Clan is known for their mysteries and devious activities, known to be unpredictable," The Transformer explained.

"And merciless" The Space Bender added, "Don't forget what those bastards did to our people"

"The Cult of Greed suffered immensely because that family existed, even our princess lost her siblings to them" The Space Bender gritted his teeth, just remembering the horrors caused his blood to boil.

The third Fallen Regulator finally spoke, "We can never forget the sins of the Night, this is why Lenny must die tonight" He declared.

They were moving fast, not wanting to give Lenny any chance to recover even an ounce of energy.

They needed to get their hands on him as quickly as possible.

Resuming their chase through the maze, the Transformer noticed something strange.

His eyebrows furrowed, and his movements slowed for a moment, prompting the others to notice it.

"What is going on? Number 504" The Space Bender asked. The Transformer raised his head, sniffing the air.

He frowned, "Something is distorting my sense of smell, something's wrong," He answered. The third Fallen Regulator slowly took off his mask.

Revealing his face, he was bald-headed with a symbol of a three-horned goat head engraved on his forehead.

His eyes flickered, "We have to leave," He spoke out. From his tone, they could all sense fear.

He was panicking, the Space Bender raised an eyebrow, "Number 500? What's the problem? Did you notice something?" He asked.

The third Fallen Regulator gulped, swallowing his saliva, his body shuddered, "No, I didn't see anything, but I could feel it, it shouldn't be alive anymore," He whispered with shaky breath.

"We…we…we…we…we have gravely underestimated the Nights," He stammered, his eyes scanning through the corridor.

The Transformer raised an eyebrow, "What the hell are you talking about…" before he could complete his statement.

A maelstrom of unearthly shadows coalesced into existence, spreading vast across the corridor.

His eyes widened in shock, staggering back with a heavy heart.

It came so suddenly, a pair of ghostly pitch-black hands sprouted out from the vast, suffocating darkness.

They grabbed the third Fallen Regulator before he could even react, dragging him into the darkness.

A loud horrifying scream followed suit.

Lasting for minutes and when the scream died down, blood splattered across the scene, they saw it….

The third Fallen Regulator was ripped apart.

His blood stained the stone walls, and the torn parts of his body were sent crashing across the walls.

Painting the walls crimson.

Fear gripped the two Fallen Regulators as they fell back quickly, avoiding any contact with the vast clouds of shadows that engulfed the scene.

Their hearts raced vehemently, "What is going on? Ho…how…how the fuck is Number 68 dead?" The Space Bender whispered with shaky breath.

The hands of the Transformer quivered, his lips twitched for a second, "Sha…. shadows, wasn't that brat the last living Night?"

"Was it all a trick?" He drowned in his sea of thoughts; he tried to move, but his body defied his orders.

What he was witnessing was something so sinister.

Before them, a maelstrom of shadows engulfed the scene, and their flesh burned.

They felt it, the tyranny of darkness.

"AH, FINALLY…..THE BREATH OF FRESH AIR" A distorting monstrous voice resonated through the air, and the sounds of approaching caused shadows to ripple.

The Transformer's body shuddered, "We need to runnnnn" He screamed out, "We need to run as fast as we can"

"This is a Titan...."

***

While the three Fallen Regulators grouped themselves together and chased after Lenny's blood trails.

Crystal was heading straight towards the Level 7 Wanderer rank High Orc.

Although her primary goal is to kill Lenny Night, this was why she came here in the first place.

She still needs the Dungeon to be cleared if she must return back to the Fallen Realm.

She had to kill the Level 7 Wanderer rank High Orc alone or wait for her assassins when they returned with Lenny.

Crystal exhaled a soft sigh. She was running through a corridor. "They must have located him already. An injured man shouldn't move that fast." Her eyes flickered.

Clenching her fist, "His death should be enough to appease father, after all my siblings had died during the tyrant Lex Night and his twin's raid of the Hein Sundan Region"

She increased her pace, noticing something strange, her movements slowed down.

Halting her movements, she slightly tilted her head, "They're dead, someone killed them" She uttered.

The Tether bracelet was an excellent device that worked in both the Fallen Realm and Earth.

But all connections were immediately blocked when they entered the D-tier Dungeon.

She couldn't directly contact her team, but she was certain of it; they had linked their souls to her.

She would be the first to be alerted once they died.

Crystal closed her eyes, she breathed in deeply "My brethren, I apologise that there will be no proper burial to appreciate your servitude to the Cult"

She clenched her fist, "Whoever is responsible for your demise will surely pay the price, that is a promise" She stated.

She was about to move an inch when she noticed something, her eyelid twitched for a second, her eyes quivered "This…this presence, A Titan?"

"What the hell is a Titan doing in a D-tier Dungeon??"

***

Everyone in the Labyrinth of Ashura felt it, the emerging presence of a Titan; they feared its horrors.

All Apocalyptic creatures that were constantly attacking the K&B party fled the scene.

"What is going on?" Benita screamed, "This horrifying presence, another Titan?" Fril quickly covered her mouth, dragging her closer.

"Shut up, do you want to kill us all?" Fril frowned, even the Level 1 Wanderer rank High Orc they were fighting had also fled.

Jay was trying his best to stay calm, "This is indeed a Titan, but what exactly is a Titan doing in a classified D-tier Dungeon?" He mumbled.

Kennedy clenched tightly onto his spear, despite his brave face, he was shivering deep down.

Meanwhile, the young boy glanced down at them with his arms folded, still sitting atop the stone wall.

His lips curled into a faint smile, "A Titan huh?" He chuckled, "It seems Uncle Lex has made his move"

"I'm still suprised Lenny hasn't figured it out yet, he's really dumb" The young boy jumped down from the stone wall.

He made his landing in front of the K&B party.

But he still remained unseen by them, the young boy glared at Kennedy, "This pathetic trash mocked the name of the Nights"

"Lenny may have let it slide so as not to blow his cover, but I have no reason to suppress myself, right?" the young boy grinned.

His eyes flickered for a second, "Now let's get this slaughtering party started"
