THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Chapter 116: A human village?



After finishing the monster, Ivan and his cohort explored the small village.

There wasn't much to explore about the village since it was very small and one could easily see everywhere at a glance from a high point, though they did find something interesting in the village.

In a small structure that was slightly more spacious than the others and looked like a hall, a single half-statue stood straight at the forefront of the hall.

The statue appeared to be a statue of a warrior in medieval armor and carrying a shield beside its leg; the statue only has up to its waist remaining; its upper body seemed to have been smashed off by something, considering the jagged edges on top.

Dust and cracks riddled the statue and spoke of its age, in front of the statue were stone slabs that looked just as old as the statue itself. One the stone slabs were delicately carved letters that seemed to have been carved by humans, the carved letters were too neat and exquisite to have been the work of a clawed creature.

Was this really a village of humans? Were there humans from the dreamscape, or had they escaped here after the mirror gates appeared in their homes?

These questions rose in their minds as they tried to guess what might have been the case.

Staring at the words on the stone slabs, none of them were able to make sense of what whoever had carved them was trying to communicate; they were unable to read the language on the stone slabs.

"What language is this? I've never seen such characters before," Ralph mumbled with a frown on his face; he had spent much time in the library back at the training center, but he had never come across such letters before.

"It's no use thinking; we'll return it to the tower after we get back; they can decide what to do next." Ivan stared at the stone slabs and said, for some reason, he felt that the characters were familiar, as if he had seen them before but was unable to recall.

After storing the stone slabs, they checked the remaining part of the village. They found nothing worth noticeable so they returned to the hall to rest and chatted on how their fights with the monsters had gone.

"She was incredible! We wouldn't have been able to kill it if not for her, her strength was frightening!" Glen stated as he explained how his fight and Karin against the monster had gone.

"You must be joking, it almost had me if not for you. You're so fast in that form, now I envy not having a beast companion talent like you; I won't mind being a black sheep in a family that prioritized weapon talents" Karin laughed before adding "Even if you were unable to defeat it, escaping back it would not have been a problem for you."

And that was true, with the kind of speed Glen had when he assumed his transformed form, escaping from anything below the true Lord rank would not be a problem at all.

"What about you guys? We thought we were pretty fast with our fight, we didn't expect you guys to be even faster; how did you guys do it?" Karin turned to look at Ivan, Ralph, and Clint; Glen also turned to them as well.

"Clint held it down while my undead knight finished it off; it was pretty easy, to be honest," Ralph stated while smiling lightly.

" Dang, it seems like I have the least cool talent in the team; you all have cheat talents." Karin faked a tear.

Glen laughed at her reaction while Ralph let out a slight chuckle, the girl joked too much.

" How about you, Ivan? How did your fight go?" Karin turned to look at Ivan, everyone turned to stare at him as well.

" I stabbed its neck till it fell off"

Ivan's answer was straight and simple, not adding any other details.

"I just knew you would say something like that, boring!" Glen said with a chuckle, and everyone laughed; what Glen said was funny but also true.

Ivan always gave straightforward answers wherever he was asked such questions, they were not surprised when he said he stabbed the monster's neck till it fell off.

They chatted for a bit more before resting for the night, Ralph was on night duty today and would wake them in case something happened.

Morning came quickly and the group resumed their mission, clearing deeper into the tunnel.

They encountered a nest of red-eyed rabbits after just moving five hundred meters from the small village.

The red-eyed rabbits were monsters with bodies of rabbits but were as tall as children between the ages of ten and eleven; they had masculine builds and strong legs that were about to jump up to five meters into the air.

In their mouths were rows of razor-sharp teeth and two large fangs that poked out from their lower lips; these fangs had paralyzing effects if they bit a target.

The rabbits built their nest on the wall like bees, and the most funny and, at the same time, scary aspect about these rabbits was that they were able to use weapons; each and every single red-eyed rabbit had a stone battle axe, which they used to hack at their opponents.

Imagine a group of tall muscular rabbits running toward you with red eyes and each of them waving a stone axe in the air. The scene was comical and frightening at the same time.

During their fight with the rabbits, Glen's snake had gone on a rampage. It did not fuse with Glen but kept its original form; it went about swallowing and biting one red-eyed rabbit after the other.

Karin had also displayed the greatness of her mallet once more. Every time her mallet landed on the ground, a number of red-eyed rabbits would be sent into the air, making them easy targets for Clint's shadow spikes.

Ivan wasn't staying idle either; he danced through the ranks of the red-eyed rabbits and cut them down like grass.

The battle was exciting for them, and as soon as they finished all the red-eyed rabbits within half an hour, the ground was littered with their corpses and blood at the end of the fight.

"What's that?" Karin suddenly shouted and pointed at something ahead of them.

Everyone looked over and saw a single red flower with white petals lying in one of the rabbit's nests; they moved closer to take a good look.

"Impossible!" Ralph was unable to hold himself and exclaimed after getting a close look at the strange plant.
