All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins

Chapter 170 Humanity Is In Danger

?

The screams came from a direction somewhat far from the house Damian and Frederic were, but they were so loud it sounded as if it was right beside them!

But they ran toward it and everything became clear after they arrived.

A man was holding the house's door, trying to keep it steady against the creatures that were pounding on the door, trying to get inside and ripped them apart!

"Hold on, Chris. We are trying to find another way out!" a female voice came from inside the house.

It was undoubtedly one person who screamed.

"A party of adventurers. What should we do?" Damian asked.

He wanted to hear Frederic's opinion about it, as despite being a cowardly dragon, he knew things, and was experienced with life.

"The number of beasts does not look like a problem for you, so your strength is superior, meaning we have nothing to worry about if they try to stab us in the back. And if you save them, they will be grateful and share the things they know with you!" Frederic said.

Frederic was not concerned about the beasts themselves — it wouldn't be him who would go there to fight them.

"I see. Wait here."

The beasts trying to destroy the door were big mushrooms of purple color. Just by looking at them, Damian knew they were poisonous, so getting near them was not the best idea.

'Should I do some necromancy stuff? Nah, that would scare them. Let's go with the old-fashioned slime weapons.'

Damian activated his Slime Ring, creating a dark-colored bow and arrows. He was not the best of shooters, but had learned it when he was younger.

Not that it mattered! Damian shot the first arrow and adjusted it using his Telekineses, making it hit the right spot on the mushroom's head.

Purple liquid came out from the mushroom's wound, and Damian hoped it was a good sign.

He shot again, and again, and again. Five mushrooms were trying to enter the house, and once they realized someone was shooting them, they tried to turn around to get to Damian, but it was too late.

The wounds on their bodies were too much, and it was not like Damian was shooting at close-range. All the mushrooms died, and when the situation calmed down, the survivors inside wondered what happened.

"Chris? Did they stop busting the door? Is this a trap?"

It made little sense, and all of them knew how some beasts were smarter than others. Could that be a trap?, and none of them will take the risk.

"Hello?" Damian said, stopping in front of the door.

The adventurers were more than shocked to hear a human voice! No one should be there with them. No one was crazy enough to venture into the lost city of the elves.

Chris, the man holding the door, opened it up a little, just enough to gaze through a gap, seeing the handsome face of a youth.

"An adventurer is here! Are you a superhuman from Earth?" Chris asked, opening more of the door.

"Yes, although it's been a while since the last time I returned."

Chris gaped at his mouth and widened his eyes. The seeing of an adventurer who spend a lot of time inside the dungeon yet was still breathing was something as rare as a phoenix feather.

"Can I come in? This older man is with me," Damian said as he turned around, "Fredericcc!"

Frederic was beside him in no time. "Don't scream or else this will attract more problems."

Just like always, he feared the beasts.

"Chris, who are you talking to?"

Two girls came from inside the house, one looking similar to Chris. It was common for people to venture inside the dungeon at parties, as it was easier to survive.

Sure, they would have to split the rewards, but a group of people had the power to accomplish more arduous tasks, meaning more profit in the end.

"These two adventurers are the one who saved us. Come," Chris said as he opened the door to its fullest.

Once inside, Damian analyzed the three adventurers, seeing how they looked, acted, and what powers they could have!

Chris and Polly were siblings — Damian could tell they looked alike, both being red-heads. Polly had freckles on her cheeks, and Damian found it sexy.

As for the other girl, Judith, she had long curly black hair, and did not look comfortable with strangers.

"So what are you three doing here, anyway?" Damian asked.

Damian had a simple goal in mind: help the elves and try to learn more about the golden key.

But what about those three adventurers? It did not seem right for someone to accomplish such a hard task, like exploring the lost elven city.

"I can't give you too many details, you know, the contractor won't let me," Chris said, apologizing, "but he wants some kind of grimoire. I did not know something like magic existed, anyway."

'Grimoire!'

Could it be like the one Damian possessed? If that was the case, then Damian wanted the grimoire for himself! It would be an incredible addition to his collection.

But Damian did not show his greed, and instead said, "No problem. We have something we want in the main part of the city, so maybe we can help each other?"

"Really? That would increase our surviving potential!"

"So, what can you tell me about this place?"

~~~~

It got dark pretty fast without them noticing, so Damian and all the rest spent the night inside the house. The surrounding area was cleared — Chris, Polly and Judith worked hard for that — so it was the safest place they could find in that dangerous city.

Chris had come with a backpack with some essential needs, like a sleeping bag! He even had spare ones in case the ones they used got destroyed or something.

"Thank you," Damian said, receiving the sleeping bag from Chris.

They put an oil lamp in the middle of the house to make it brighter, and all the sleeping bags around it.

"So I just go inside and sleep?" Frederic whispered to Damian.

"Yes. Don't you have these for dragons?"

"Why would I sleep in a cocoon? You humans are so strange."

"Good night, everyone. And Damian, thank you for taking the watch tonight."

"No problem."

Chris and his party had been inside the city for a few days. They were tired, so Damian said he would take the watch for the night.

Not that difficult for him to stay a few days awake without losing his capabilities, so one day would do no harm.

He placed a chair near the only window the house had, near the front door, and observed everything. If any beast did any move, he would know.

After thirty minutes of boredom, Judith appeared out of nowhere, placing one chair beside him.

"I couldn't sleep. Can I stay here for a few minutes?" Judith said.

"Sure."

Damian saw no problem with that, and the two said nothing, only staring through the window, seeing the night outside. It was gorgeous! The clouds were beneath the city, so the sky was as clear as ever!

Of course, everything was fake — or at least people did not understand how it worked. The dungeon was still a mystery to everyone.

"You said you did not visit Earth for quite some time. Are you also here, on the tenth floor, for the human settlement? It would make sense considering the Earth is about to end… All the people important to me are already on the tenth floor as well!"

The moment Damian heard that, his mind stopped, and he could not concentrate on anything else. What did Judith say? Earth was about to end? Damian did not know about that, and it sure sounded like bullshit!

"What do you mean, about to end? What's this bullshit?"

"You didn't know? Well, this discovery happened five days ago."

"Enlighten me."

Judith gave a deep breath, and then she said, "Apparently, a powerful beast will soon return and step foot on Earth, and that's why everyone is leaving for the tenth floor where the human settlement is!"

"But don't we have powerful superhumans too? Everyone should get together and face this beast!"

She moved her head. "not that simple. The beast is beyond our limits, and maybe only those humans who are in the deep levels of the dungeon have the power to face it. Also, based on the research, this beast will send an attack and freeze every human forever! That's why we need to leave Earth."

What she said sounded absurd, but what if? What if that happened and Damian was not fast enough to return?

Judith noticed his face, and tried to calm him down, "Remember what I said about the tenth floor being where the humans live? All major settlements have a portal back to Earth. That's how they are bringing everyone down here,"

"After we leave this city, I can show you and then you go back to Earth and bring everyone you care about."

"Are they bringing every single human?"

"They are trying, but it is impossible, I guess. The tenth floor is larger than Earth so we have enough space and resources. The only problem is the mess…"

Damian was still shocked and in disbelief!

'I need to get the hell out of this place and go see if what Judith's said is true or not!'
