Cheat Awakening-Chapter 757. A Gentleman

"Should we go?" Sylphy asked nervously, seeing the bloody trail continue down the staircase. She was obviously not fond of the dark passage leading into deeper darkness.

"Otherwise, do you plan to stand here? Don't you want to go home? The faster we deal with this shit, the faster we can go back," Myne put his arm around Sylphy and led her down the staircase.

"Should we use something to light up? It's a bit too dark here; I can barely see anything," Aisha asked. Her suggestion was refused by Myne, who, after getting the Nightwalker's bloodline, could see in the darkness as clearly as in the daytime.

He didn't want to attract random monsters by illuminating the surroundings and becoming a target. Since he was powerful enough to handle anything, his vision was more than enough to ensure everyone's safety, so they just had to follow him and leave the rest to him.

"Is this the fourth basement floor? So far, I have never seen such structures in any of the other dungeons I've been to," Sylphy said with a frown, looking at the pitch black darkness around her, giving her a very creepy vibe.

"Neither have I. Is this some kind of hidden place? Otherwise, there's no explanation for why we're here. We should have gone directly to the boss room or a teleportation point to move to the next floor or get out of the dungeon," Aisha said, looking around while explaining.

Unlike the previous floor, this time a vast scene lay before them, so vast that even the endpoint couldn't be seen. There was only one straight line, going from one end to the other. The only thing that existed on this floor was this passageway. There was nothing else.

"Maybe it's another maze-type trap. There should be a hidden door somewhere on this floor, similar to how we found the door on the third basement floor. We can only move forward after finding it. This is going to be a pain in the ass again," Myne said, annoyed, while rubbing his forehead.

He quickly wanted to complete this mission and go back home so he could enter the gaming world and visit Cosmic Arena or play another dungeon, but now he was stuck in this never-ending dungeon.

"By the way, the blood trail continues deep into this passage. Do you think someone deliberately left this so we, like idiots, would follow it and jump into another party's trap?" Myne, who was the only one who could see crystal-clearly, spoke while taking out a magic lamp and illuminating the surroundings.

Since there was only a single passage on this floor, he didn't have to worry about a sneak attack. As long as he walked in front, everything would be fine, so there was no need to let everyone continue to be blind. God knows if he missed the hidden door because of overconfidence, and since the others couldn't see in the darkness, wouldn't they be stuck on this floor?

"Finally, some light. Now I feel much better," Sylphy breathed a sigh of relief as she was able to see again.

"Wow, that's a lot of blood. I don't think the person who lost so much blood would be able to see tomorrow's sun," Aisha said, kneeling down to observe the bloodstain before shaking her head.

If not for the fact that everyone in her team was very powerful and she knew Myne could teleport them out if things went wrong, she would have long ago fled from this dungeon just by seeing all those creepy things along the way. She cared about her life more than some illusory reputation.

"Let's move on; there's no need to waste more time," Myne said, leading everyone into the dark, creepy passage that looked like it was leading them to the abyss.

"...Ave...Me..."

Thud!

"What was that?" Suddenly hearing a noise out of thin air, Myne and the others, who had long ago lost their vigilance after walking for forty minutes without finding anything, jolted awake. They began looking ahead with focus while taking a defensive stance.

"Myne, I think there's something ahead," Waffle said, narrowing his eyes and speaking seriously.

"I can see that," Myne didn't take the thing in front of him seriously because, in his eyes, whatever was ahead was just small fry that could be dealt with easily; there was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

"Gurururururuuuu!"

"So...meone...sa...ve...me"

"Ah, I see it. It's a Chimera. No wonder it was making so many weird noises; for once, I thought there were a lot of monsters ahead."

F*ck! So many abilities. It's my first time seeing someone with more than three abilities. Even divine beasts don't have this kind of privilege. This motherf*cker definitely has some unspoken relationship with Lady Luck. Myne's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the Chimera's status.

But come to think of it, I shouldn't be so surprised, after all, this creature is a super hybrid of who knows how many different beasts, so it's bound to gain some of their abilities. And it also has an 'Experimental Body' tag, which means someone has messed with its already messy body, giving it even more weird abilities." Myne mused, rubbing his chin.

"Myne! Over there!" Aisha suddenly shouted, pointing at the Chimera's mouth. Myne looked and saw it eating someone's arm.

"H...el...p..."

They heard a voice coming from under the Chimera. It seemed to have been saving food for later instead of finishing everyone immediately.

Myne looked closer and saw a middle-aged man with thinning hair lying beneath the creature. His right arm and left foot were torn off, and his entire body was covered in blood. Only God knew how he was still alive after sustaining such large, deadly injuries and losing a huge amount of blood.

"Hey, you guys there, I can see you... Are you the ones who defeated those Gargoyles? Can you please save me? I'm willing to give you anything. Please save me, I don't want to die. My wife and seven children are waiting for me at home..."

"How is he able to speak so calmly?" Sylphy wondered, becoming wary. "Isn't he feeling any pain? That Chimera looks very heavy. If it sat on me, I wouldn't be able to breathe properly, let alone pretend to be calm and act as if I'm just asking for a glass of water."

"Then should I just blast both of them and clear the way? It seems pointless to help him and waste our time, Myne asked, not having the same thoughts as Sylphy. To him, every strange event could be explained with one word: "Skills." There were so many weird skills out there that it was no surprise this guy could still be at ease despite losing half his body.

"Don't be so cold-blooded, Myne. We need this guy to know what's going on with him and his friends, whether they left the dungeon or are still wandering around, and most importantly, how they found this dungeon."

"Fine, fine, you're the boss," Myne said, rolling his eyes as if he didn't expect such an answer from her. He walked forward, ready to send the Chimera on its way and, of course, steal its two juicy unique skills. He hadn't expected to be so lucky as to get three unique skills in a single day.

But he had only taken a few steps when a man with long black hair, pale white skin, and crimson eyes, wearing a red tuxedo, emerged from the darkness. The most unusual thing about him was the two hard, pointy horns on his head. He stood beside the Chimera, which now looked nothing like a mystical beast but more like a pet dog, caring only about the food in its mouth and ignoring everything else as if it were invisible.

"Hello, everyone. How may I help you?" The horned man spoke with a smile, his hands behind his back like a gentleman.

"Are you a demon?" Myne asked, looking at the horns. But the man's modern clothing style made it difficult for him to relate this guy to the demons he had heard about in stories, who were nothing but barbaric killers.

"Ah, it's as you guessed. I'm one of the random guys from the Demon race. The name's Xanadu. Nice to meet you," The horned man turned out to be surprisingly polite, completely dumbfounding everyone on Myne's team.

"I'd like you to hand that person over there to us. We have some questions to ask him," Myne, although shocked, quickly returned to business.

"Hahaha, you seem to be quite a rude person, huh? Even though I've given you my name, where are your manners, young man?" The horned man said with a faint smile, seeming to be in a good mood and not minding wasting time.

"When did demons start having a sense of courtesy?" Myne rubbed his head in confusion and looked back at his wives, who were also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it. My name is Myne, and now give that idiot to us." Myne shrugged and waved his hand. As for apologising, there was no way he was going to do that; it wasn't like he had asked for the other party's name in the first place.
