There were too many corpses, both human and monster, although I had been fighting in the dungeon for so long, and the life I led could never prepare me for this sight…
A young man’s guts were torn and spread across the stairs, with a girl’s headless body under him as if he was trying to protect her… Dozens of students, all with their backs torn apart as if they were sliced down when running away…
I had known the dungeons would come, but I underestimated them—I believed it would be fine because I was useless and got so far into the dungeon…
Yet I had forgotten one thing… That I was no longer a normal human being. freёwebnovel.com
“Quick! Run… there’s more of them coming!”
“Ahhh…. my leg…. where is my leg!”
I rushed forward—Elena and Ayr followed as we rushed towards the young woman, killing several goblins on the way…
I picked up the woman, who was crying in pain, “Please… please… save me… My leg…” she muttered as I looked at her face… Aki and hers were a little similar, but there was a difference—this woman was more beautiful, and her eyes were red and teary.
“Don’t worry—you will be safe soon,” I said before carrying her into a classroom where many broken chairs and bloody remains were littered. This chaos was only an hour or two into their arrival.
The woman clung to me tightly, “Please… don’t leave me… I’m scared…”
Elena approached and healed the woman’s wound as Ayr guarded the classroom door and killed any goblins that tried to enter.
It seems that the dungeon creatures had no intelligence… but these… they were damn smart! Maybe it was just these goblins, or did the dungeon make them dumber to help adventuers?
The woman’s wound stopped rotting, and she slowly regained consciousness before saying, “Thank you… I’m Miyuki, Miyuki Akagi…”
“Rai,” I replied before helping her up, “You need to find somewhere safe to hide… you can’t stay here.”
Miyuki shook her head, “I cannot leave Aki… she is in the principal’s office…”
I froze for a moment—did this woman just say, Aki?!
Elena then looked at Miyuki and asked, “What does Aki look like?”
Miyuki then replied, “She has black hair and is really pretty; sometimes people say we are like sisters…”
Elena then nodded, “She sounds like Master’s lover… we will find her for you…” Miyuki then looked at me, confused, before I shook my head, “I’m not her boyfriend—she is just a friend…” I didn’t want to ruin her reputation at school, but it was a foolish choice.
Miyuki then chuckled weakly, “You must be Aki’s Rai then… Aki talks about you a lot…”
I ignored her words before cutting the tip of my finger and dripping blood into her wounds—with this, she would eventually recover her leg and be like Brian.
It was the only thing I could do as I left her with Ayr.
“Ayr, please keep her safe.”
Ayr saluted and replied, “Roger!”
Miyuki looked at me and smiled weakly, “Thank you… please save Aki…” Elena then looked at me and said, “Master, we should go quickly—the principal’s office is close by, I saw on the walls!”
I nodded—this place was not safe…
“Don’t worry; Ayr will protect you.”
I then rushed out with Elena, leaving Ayr and Miyuki in the classroom—there was a horde of goblins coming, and Ayr could deal with them… Or at least I trusted her to be able to do so, as I rushed through the corridors and classrooms—the smell of death and rotting flesh filled the air, making Elena vomit a little, “Master… it stinks…”
I nodded—this smell was not something anyone could get used to…
“Let’s keep going…”
I then kicked open the Principal’s office door, only to find Aki standing with a silver sword in her hand and several goblins lying dead as her eyes and hair seemed to give off a different glow than usual.
She then turned to me and Elena before dropping the sword—her eyes were red and teary, “Rai…everyone is dead… Mary…. Sally…. Judith…!” she cried out as she rushed towards me and clung to me tightly…
Aki then buried her face into my chest, “I was so scared… the goblins… caught me off guard, and before I could use my powers, they were being undressed… eaten and…”
I hugged Aki tightly—she was shaking in fear… “Don’t cry… I am here now… I will protect you!”
Her body seemed smaller than before, despite being a goddess—I knew they couldn’t use their powers in this world yet… so Aki was just a normal girl with a bit of power. I then picked up the sword Aki had dropped—it was a silver blade with a golden hilt, and runes were engraved on it; it gave off a strong power that I could not describe, “Where did you get this sword?” I asked Aki.
Aki wiped her tears and replied, “It’s our soul weapon… there are two, but I cannot summon both yet… the Mana is not thick enough, that’s why only goblins have entered… we have to shut the gate, or they will never stop coming.”
I nodded—this was a dungeon gate…
“Can you lead me to the gate?” Aki nodded before saying, “Mary and Sally died protecting Miyuki and me… please help me close the gate before more people suffer…”
Elena then looked at Aki and said, “Master saved Miyuki… she is waiting in a classroom not far from here…”
Aki looked at Elena and nodded, “Thank you… Rai…” Elena then smiled before Aki turned to me, “Please… Rai… let’s end this gate… there is a goblin king at the gate—I can’t deal with it yet… Only you…
have the ability… there is one woman who is strong enough, but she is alone, and that woman… Midori cannot defeat them all.”
It was a little awkward hearing the woman I spent sleeping with last night mentioned… but with her strength, she might last a while but not forever… I imagine Haruka and Elizabeth were there, too.
“Let’s go!”
Elena and Aki followed me as I rushed out of the Principal’s office with the sword in her hand—Ayr was fighting against many goblins, with Miyuki hiding behind her as she killed dozens of them… I couldn’t waste time and had to harden my heart as I transformed my right arm, tore through a huge part of their group, and nodded to Ayr.
“Ayr, Elena, you keep this girl safe and protect as many students as you can if there is danger, no matter how small. Abandon them and take Miyuki with you!”
“Yes, master.”
Ayr looked at me before I winked at her, “If you do well, I will do what you always beg me to do for an entire weekend.”
Ayr then blushed and nodded, “Roger!”
I then rushed ahead with Aki—it was not like I didn’t care about Miyuki, but Aki was more important… because Aki was my wife and irreplaceable.
Aki held onto my arm and said, “Rai… I am sorry I am weak… I can’t be the goddess I used to be…”
I then smiled at her, “You are not weak—just focus on becoming stronger from the start. Enter the dungeon with the other girls in the future and work hard. I will support you all until you are strong enough.”
Aki nodded—we then reached the gymnasium, where goblins were everywhere, tearing apart corpses and eating young women in groups like beasts… the sight made me angry—these bastards!
I rushed forward, tearing through dozens of goblins, decapitating and dismembering them as I swung my greatsword, appearing like magic—the sword cut through them like butter, and the flames in my right arm burned them to a crisp…
This sword was powerful… unlike the dungeon.
Some of the girl’s eyes were dull… lifeless, and would never recover… I couldn’t watch anymore and ended their lives. When I was about to crumble from the guilt and feeling powerless to save these innocent women and men, Aki hugged my back, and a feeling of warmth and divine energy flowed into my back.
“Don’t lose hope… Rai…” Aki then smiled at me, “You have saved far more by the goblins you killed, and there was nothing you could have done for these poor women…”
Aki’s words calmed me down—she was right.
“Let’s finish this!”
****
Upon reaching the huge gate, wading through the city filled with fire, broken cars and destroyed buildings, we were forced to fight and kill dozens of goblins before finally reaching the main issue.
I think this battle is going to be a long one… If I don’t go all out.
Standing on a huge stone stairwell was a large goblin with a muscular body and huge staff sitting on a stone throne outside the dungeon doorway—beside him were two massive, deformed goblins with huge axes and metal armour looking down the stairwell, a huge group of over two hundred goblin warriors all growling and sneering at the female wearing a tight bodysuit and holding a black modern great axe…
It was Midori, with Haruka, Elizabeth, Kana, and many other ability uses behind her.
There they are… but it looks like telling them to go back is impossible… with those women hanging on those stakes.
“Aki, we need to win fast… Even if my true colours are discovered, right?”
I asked the woman I trusted the most in the world—her cute face looked at me with respect and a serious gaze.
She knew that although it might not happen this time, eventually, people would like my werewolf form with me, and it would become annoying.
“Mmm… once the gate closes, all remaining goblins will vanish.”
