Versatile: Alternate World

591 Sacrificial Cult (III)

The surge is not instantaneous but the traffic of monsters trying to get to me is getting bigger and bigger. I managed to kill most of the monsters that are trying to block me since they are low-level monsters but that doesn't mean I will not encounter stronger monsters. I also felt the ground shaking, meaning some of the bigger bosses around are also just around the corner, ready to attack.

I didn't focus on the monsters and focused on the second secret base's location. The surroundings are surrounded by large unknown structures, making a maze-like path for me to take. Smaller monsters can follow through but monsters who are big can only stay above as they won't fit on the pathways. Thankfully, the unknown structures are strong enough that even if the monsters try to break and bash them, they still remain intact.

As soon as I arrived at the second ruin entrance, I didn't bother to think whether it was the correct ruin or not. If it was correct, I have to proceed, if it isn't, then I will have to circle around and then escape.

[You have discovered the entrance of the Underground Laboratory IV]

Good, it's another laboratory, and although it wasn't the second laboratory the fourth, that doesn't change the fact that it was still a laboratory. Nothing changed.

Compared to before, the entrance is different as it was located right in front of me as a hallway. I don't care whether there are traps present there, I have to get through the hallway and reach the second lab.

With the monsters in pursuit of me, I continue running until I heard something click when I step on one tile which means I triggered a trap. I immediately slide down to increase my distance as fast as I can. The moment I did it, the trap was triggered, releasing a guillotine blade down my path. The trap's blade missed me but the monsters in pursuit didn't and they got killed. Still, that's only a few of them that got killed, I still needed to outrun the other monsters that are on the trail.

I triggered another trap and I jumped into the hallway immediately before running again. The trap sprung and the walls started to close each other, crushing the monsters behind me but the walls continue to keep crushing behind me which is why there is no time to keep idle and continue running.

The Crushing Walls trap that I sprung earlier allowed me to prevent the monsters from chasing me any further though that is clearly a temporary thing. Once the trap resets, the monsters will continue to chase me down until I get rid of this cursed item.

Reaching the hallway, I managed to reach the laboratory. I didn't waste my time and started killing the angels situated there one by one. I don't care if I triggered anything at all. This is already akin to a monster invasion already so there is no point left in staying quiet and doing it silently. That is obviously not going to work well at all.

I used the Pain Delivery this time around as I wanted to keep the Versatile Weapon as my main weapon just in case the enemies were to attack and I can't just keep the Pain Delivery to keep them at bay.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

CLICK! CLACK!

BANG!

The sound of the gun cycles as I continuously shoot anyone on sight. I continue doing this until the final angel left behind died. None of them fought as they were focused on escaping which I made sure they cannot escape. Now that all of them are dead, I immediately begin my search for the second core. Compared to the first one, the second core was displayed in a single case. I didn't bother to care about what would happen after breaking the glass and just break it open. After obtaining the second core the same message appeared before me as what the first core did.

[The Dark Core is currently in your possession. As long as it is in your possession, the monsters around the vicinity of 50km will come and attack you. The effects will only disappear if the Dark Core is removed from your possession.]

However, this time, there is an additional message for me.

[Because you already possess one kind of Dark Core, the effects of the first core will be added to the core you just obtained. Currently, the monsters around the vicinity of 100km will come and attack you.]

I wanted to curse as the vicinity indeed doubled but that is really bad already. So bad that the distance it already covered is enough to cover all the monsters in the surrounding areas. I can already tell that the angels and even the cult are already aware of what is happening. I doubt they are going to take matters to stay like this forever.

But that's fine. Now that the monsters are all causing turmoil, they will be more focused on defending themselves from the monsters and that is already good enough for me to stall more time and their main focus will not be on me who is carrying the Dark Cores.

I didn't forget to turn off the traps before I escaped. I am quite sure the monsters are already crowding over there so I prepared a few stuff that I am quite sure they will love especially those monsters that are very susceptible to explosions.

And it didn't take too long for the monsters to appear at the entrance. Due to their numbers, the enemies are all stuck in one place trying to get out from the entrance.

"You guys are so excited to meet me, huh? Then, perhaps I should give you all a welcome bang to signify our meeting?"

CLICK!

BOOOM!

The bombs that I prepared are enough to blast through the horde of monsters. But I didn't stop there. I grab one of the corpses of the monsters and throw them at the monsters that are expecting my next actions.

"Let's see you guys survive this! [Corpse Explosion]!"
