Cheat Awakening-Chapter 754. Screw the Script

"So? You want me to heal her?" Myne, who didn't want to have anything to do with Merlin or his pets and was thinking about how to get away from him, didn't understand why Waffle was telling him about his bird.

"No, I was just informing you. If you don't want to help them, then let's move forward. It's not like she's my friend or something," Waffle shook his head casually, uncaring about Cynesuke's life or death, and flew back to Myne and the others.

"Then what should we do about them? Ignore this idiot and his bird and continue catching this guy's other teammate?" Sylphy, feeling uncomfortable by the awkward silence while watching someone die before her, couldn't help but ask. She didn't know why Myne hated this guy so much, as a supportive wife, sometimes she didn't need to know the reason for doing what Myne said.

"Wait a minute, I'm thinking," Myne closed his eyes and replied absentmindedly.

Although he really wanted to ignore this bastard Merlin, the Chosen One, what he feared was that this move might anger the will of the world, and as a result, his luck would hit rock bottom, causing him to suffer bad luck for some time. After all, by not playing the role of a supportive character as he should in the Chosen One's journey, he was indirectly messing with the world's plans.

"Damn it..."

A minute later, Myne suddenly cursed, jolting everyone as they didn't expect such a reaction from him.

"Forget about those two, just ignore them. Since they didn't care about their life and death before exploring an unknown dungeon, why should we care about them? We are not their parents," said Myne." Saying that, Myne didn't hesitate anymore and walked toward the teleportation crystal.

Although it was true that he didn't want to anger the world's will, this also didn't mean that he would become its chess piece. He was powerful enough to handle any kind of danger in his world, so he could take the risk of getting unlucky, but there was no way he could let anyone control him like a puppet.

"Al... alright..."

The others also looked at each other before following him. Although they felt sorry for Merlin and Cynesuke, since Myne didn't want to help, they weren't going to fight with him for some strangers. And Merlin obviously hadn't left a good impression on them before, when he made trouble during the clan's opening ceremony.

...

After Myne and his gang teleported to the next floor, in the boss room, only Merlin and Cynesuke remained, lying on the cold floor, half-dead. But this didn't last long, as soon after, Merlin lost his breath. His body started glowing with a red light.

With a whoosh sound, his body suddenly vanished from its spot and reappeared at the entrance of the B2 floor. To his surprise, as the red glow faded away, all of Merlin's injuries had healed. The deadly poison in his body was also clear, as if it had never been there in the first place.

"F*ck! It hurt like hell," Merlin cursed with his eyes wide open, holding his stomach. Although he was fully healed, because of his skill's side effect, which gave him pain from which he died for the next 3 seconds, of course, after enhancing it multiple times so he could remember the feeling and learn from it, it was more than enough for him to remember his enemies' seven generations.

"Cynesuke! Damn it, hopefully, she won't die; otherwise, the loss will be unimaginable. I've already lost my two rare monsters; if Cynesuke also dies, I'll have nothing left and will have to start everything from the beginning," Thinking so, Merlin, after recovering from the pain, hurriedly rushed toward the boss room. Thankfully, his memory was good, and he remembered the route; otherwise, he would have wasted a lot of time before reaching his destination, and by then, his pet's body would have long ago turned cold.

"Those f*ckers! Just you wait. If I don't kill every one of those bastards, I'll change my name. And those bastards called their clan 'family,' 'family' my ass. They are nothing but a group of hyenas, ready to eat each other as soon as they find the chance... Even that b*tch was no different from the others, and I thought she loved me, damn gold digger."

While cursing and regretting letting down his guard against those so-called friends of his, Merlin, with some tears in his eyes from receiving such a heartbreaking level of betrayal, quickly came to the boss room. After looking around, he soon found his pet, Cynesuke, a mysterious bird-type monster he found in an inheritance site of a big guy, and who had been with him from the day it was born.

Merlin hurriedly picked up Cynesuke and put his ear near her chest to check whether she was still breathing or had already gone to meet her ancestors.

Thankfully, his luck was good, and she wasn't dead... At least not until Merlin realised that his belongings were also stolen by his dear friends and girlfriend. Now he didn't have anything he could use to heal his pet.

Because he had a skill that made him immortal, he was always very careless about injuries and didn't carry anything on him, just casually throwing some potions in his storage pouch, which he was now regretting. If he had known about it earlier, he would definitely have carried some healing potions in his pocket.

To make matters worse, Merlin, who was barely running to the teleportation crystal, wanting to leave the dungeon, suddenly heard a loud metal object moving sound, and the shining blue crystal before him also turned grey, obviously becoming offline.

"You've got to be kidding me."

He said with a depressed expression as he turned back and saw a giant hexagram magic array appear in the middle of the boss room, and the entrance door had also closed tightly. With an eye-blinding white light, a giant white bee, 5 meters in size, appeared in the room, staring at Merlin with a not-so-friendly expression.

Although usually after defeating a boss monster in a dungeon, it doesn't respawn anytime soon, but because this is a new dungeon and mana density in lower floors is many times higher than above, and it had been nearly an hour since the boss was defeated, and to rub salt on Merlin's injuries, it had respawned again at a critical moment, sealing his hope of rescuing his dear pet.

...

"AHHHH!!!!"

Ten minutes later, Merlin again teleported to a random corner of the dungeon, this time on the B1 floor. Although physically he was completely fine and at full health, there was no longer any light of hope in his eyes. After the pain of being stomach-pierced by a giant sting faded away, he knelt down with tears flowing from his eyes like a waterfall.

"Motherf*cker, I will kill you all!" He screamed at the top of his lungs and started hammering his fists on the ground in anger. Because before dying, he saw Cynesuke taking her last breath.

He didn't stop until he nearly broke the bones in his hands, before slowly getting up. He looked left and right with bloodshot eyes and started walking randomly.

It was unknown how he was walking, but he suddenly saw an empty lion's nest. He walked into it and found that behind the nest, near the wall, there was a dark hole barely big enough for one person to go inside.

Merlin, being too familiar with this kind of situation of finding hidden secret locations out of nowhere, didn't hesitate for a second and jumped into it, without caring if it was a dead end and he was stuck in a narrow hole, with no place to move or get out.

However, with the world's will backing him and providing an unlimited luck buff, he didn't end up in a hell hole and fell into a small pond.

There was a shiny crystal above the ceiling of the cave, illuminating this small space under the ground. There wasn't much to see, except a small pond, a narrow cave leading God knows where, and a shiny, rockish, basketball-sized, egg-like object at the bottom of the pond.

Merlin, after observing his surroundings with emotionless eyes, picked up the egg-shaped rock and walked out of the small pond. He looked left and right, and after making sure he didn't miss anything, he walked into the narrow cave.

It was unknown how long he had been in this dark, narrow path, but when Merlin walked out from it, he was in a forest and saw the moon right above his head. Obviously, he had been wandering in the dungeon for an entire day. After taking a look at the secret exit of the dungeon, Merlin hugged the egg tightly and walked in the direction of the capital city without saying anything, but the fire of revenge in his eyes was so intense that it wouldn't be long before many people would burn to death under it.
