BXBX NOVEL Chapter 150 Rescue Attempt
After he met with Clyde at Hammer\'s place, Samuel entered a building that looked like a small hotel building.
He entered and immediately knocked on the doors where his party members were.
"Let\'s have a meeting!" Samuel said every time he finished knocking on the door.
The place they usually used as a meeting place was the biggest suite room. Here there is a king-size bed, kitchen, and even a swimming pool outside.
Soon they all came.
Leyan, the Elf came with clothes that humans usually wear on Earth. That is all plain T-shirts and short jeans. Leyan tied his long black hair back in a ponytail.
Kei and Kiara came shortly after. Kei supported Kiara who still looked weak and sat her down as soon as they arrived.
Seeing them, Samuel felt guilty for asking them to come. However, he must immediately discuss this because this matter is very urgent.
"What do we want to talk about? We just came back from the expedition," Leyan said. From the look on his face, everyone could see that Leyan was very reluctant to be there.
"I thought that we could still save Haru," Samuel got straight to the point.
And surely, his words made their eyes look directly at him with a look of disbelief.
"What?" Kei asked with a trembling tone. Part of her feelings told her that she was glad Samuel came up with the idea. However, her other feelings told her that it was a bad idea considering what they had experienced before.
Kei bit her lips and swallowed back her words saying that she agreed with Samuel\'s proposal. Even though she wants to save Haru, she realizes how dangerous the situation is there and she doesn\'t want to see her friends get hurt again.
"I feel the same way."
But beyond Kei\'s expectation, Kiara, who was next to her, expressed approval. Kei immediately glanced at her.
"I actually also want to go back and save her," said Leyan. "But we can\'t just rely on a will to save Haru. And..."
Leyan seemed to hesitate to continue what he said and glanced at Kei. But then he said in a low and sad tone. "Maybe... we can\'t save Haru any more."
Everyone heard it so basically there was no point in Leyan keeping his voice down. Kei bit her lips even harder, what Leyan said was also true and she knew that.
"No." Samuel shook his head. "Haru isn\'t trapped in Hades\' castle but in the forest. In that forest, you know she\'s very good at surviving in that environment."
"But with all the Lesser Cerberus already alarmed, I doubt she can last long," said Leyan.
Samuel looked at him. "That\'s why we have to move quickly."
They all fell silent when they heard his words. They thought the matter over with themselves.
Actually, they of course wanted to save Haru who might still be alive now. However, if they went there and were trapped and couldn\'t come back, what would happen?
Their already little strength will become less and less. And that\'s not a good thing.
Samuel watched them all. He clenched his jaw tight. He could almost hear the doubts in their heads.
"If you don\'t want to go. I\'ll go myself," Samuel said.
"Are you insane?!" Leyan jumped up from his chair. "You want to go alone and kill yourself?"
Samuel looked at Leyan. Her bloodshot eyes suddenly gave off the resolute glint that he - and the rest of the party - had seen countless times. The glint appeared when Samuel had made a decision that was almost impossible to alter.
"Alright, then... I\'ll go with you," Leyan said.
Samuel nodded approvingly.
"I will also go. But I have to drink Elixir first," Kiara said.
Kei gritted her teeth. She didn\'t say anything, just looking at Samuel with a look full of gratitude.
"Don\'t worry. I\'ve also asked someone to help us," Samuel said.
Finally, they reached the same decision. Samuel didn\'t need to spend too much time until they decided to leave. He knew that in their hearts, they always wanted to save Haru.
Especially when Samuel said that he had asked someone for help to increase their number of members.
Samuel came to Clyde\'s quarter that night. He was quite surprised when he saw Clyde sitting on a chair staring at the window. He hadn\'t even changed his clothes as if he was waiting for his time to leave.
As soon as he saw Samuel enter his room, Clyde smiled slightly. It was so thin that Samuel didn\'t notice it.
\'So he really came.\'
"I want to ask you to come with us to The All Territory," Samuel said, to the point.
Clyde stood quietly. "Sure."
They left Clyde\'s quarter and went to the portal. Samuel had asked Leyan to go to Hammer to get the sword he made for Clyde.
Turns out, Hammer works pretty fast. He had already finished attaching the hilt to the sword even though it had only been a few minutes.
Clyde received the sword and studied it. The hilt of the sword seemed to be made from the bone of the T-Rex he killed. Its shape is still not perfect and only plain white like finely polished bone. But the hilt at least fit in Clyde\'s grip.
Clyde was impressed with Hammer\'s ability to bring a sword to this stage in such a short amount of time.
When he finished looking at his sword, Clyde saw scrutinizing looks from Leyan, Kei, and Kiara.
"This is Clyde. The one who will help us," Samuel said.
"Are you sure he won\'t die right away?" Leyan asked with a frown.
Clyde could immediately conclude that he was an Elf. The look in his eyes made Clyde dislike him instantly. To Clyde, he seemed like a man who would suspect you at any time.
"He is still new. But you can trust him." Samuel tried to convince them. Although actually still a bit worried about Clyde.
"Let\'s not waste time," Kei said. Then looked at Clyde while making a smile as friendly as possible. "Welcome to our party, my name is Kei."
Clyde just nodded briefly.
They were indeed still worried about Clyde\'s presence. However, now there was a person they were more worried about.
After all, Clyde must have known the risks he would face when he came with them. So, without waiting too long, they proceeded to leave.
Samuel pressed his amulet into the portal while channeling his Mana. The portal then turned into a dark scenery that made Clyde\'s brow furrow deeply.
Samuel had already told him where they were going. It is the domain of God Hades. So Clyde could tell that it wasn\'t a pretty place.
Of course, Samuel had also told him that he could withdraw from this expedition after saying so many dangerous things about the domain.
But Clyde remains firm with his decision. And here he was, staring directly at the portal that would lead him to that dangerous place.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes." Clyde nodded calmly.
"Good. Let\'s go."
Samuel preceded them to step inside. Clyde and the others followed right behind him.
As soon as he entered the portal, Clyde\'s feet immediately entered a few centimeters into the dark sand which is the most common scenery here.
Clyde glanced around. He was now in a gap between two enormous boulders. It was so big that Clyde couldn\'t see the tips of the two stones.
"Haru - our friend - is in that forest. The last time we saw her, she was being dragged away by a monster called Underspider," Samuel explained while using his spear to point ahead.
From where he was standing, Clyde could see an ugly forest where only black plants grew. Some of the trees in the forest didn\'t even have leaves, only branches that resembled the hands and fingers of ghosts.
"You said spiders?" Clyde asked.
"Underspiders. They have a spider body the size of an adult human with a human head," said Samuel.
Clyde couldn\'t help but wince. Just imagining a spider the size of an adult human is terrible enough. But apparently not only that, but the spider also has a human head which makes it seem even more disturbing.
"Are you scared?" Leyan asked.
"I\'m just disgusted," Clyde replied.
Samuel again led them to move forward. Until now Clyde could conclude that Samuel was the leader of this party. He immediately took them running.
A few minutes after they exited the crevice, an abnormally loud dog roar filled the air.
"What is that?" Clyde asked as he ran.
"It was a roar of Lesser Cerberuses," Leyan replied. "You know what Cerberus is?"
"Dog with three heads?" said Clyde.
"Well, yeah. It\'s just that they are a weaker version than the original Cerberus," Leyan replied. "Even so they are still strong. We have to work together to defeat one of them before we can go home."
Clyde swallowed his saliva. Could it be that, without his system power, he would be able to fight monsters that even these people had trouble defeating?
