"Sorry for the inconvenience, girl. But, bear with it for a while."
With those words, Sylvie suddenly felt flying.
SWOOSH!
Following that, she almost lost her eyes. The moment the instructor dashed forward with Sylvie on her shoulder, the speed was so fast that the wind cut the corner of her eyes.
As Sylvie was being carried by the instructor, her mind raced with a flurry of questions and concerns. She felt an adrenaline rush as the instructor swiftly made her way through the corridors, heading towards dungeon B-3.
The urgency in the instructor's movements and the gravity of the situation sent shivers down her spine.
Breathless and anxious, Sylvie finally mustered the courage to speak. "What's happening in dungeon B-3? Why am I needed there?"
The instructor's voice was tight with worry as she responded. "We've received reports of suspicious activity in the dungeon. The signal interference is a significant concern. There's a possibility that the lives of students in that dungeon are at risk."
Hearing this, Sylvie couldn't help but remember what happened in the joint dungeon exploration and the berserk-going monsters.
Students almost lost their lives because of that, and that experience was something she had never wanted to go to again.
"Does that mean-"
"Yes. There might be demon contractors. Even though we normally can teleport the injured students to the healing room, right now, the dungeon [B-3] is not working properly, and neither can we teleport inside, nor can students teleport outside."
As they reached the entrance of dungeon B-3, Sylvie's heart raced with a combination of fear and anticipation.
But before the instructor could enter, they were met with the sight of other combat personnel already moving inside, accompanied by a group of vigilant guards.
"Senior Rachel."
The guard immediately acknowledged the instructor as he bowed his head.
"We have been informed that some students were in a dangerous situation."
"Can you locate them?"
"Yes. GPS and surveillance are working properly. Only spatial teleportation is disturbed."
"Situation?"
"There are no deaths, but some students are getting pushed back by the horde of monsters."
"Potions?"
"You may leave. I want no deaths, am I clear?"
"Clear."
"Good."
SWOOSH!
The instructor wasted no time and immediately rushed towards the location where Astron Natusalune was last seen.
And the personnel and guards followed the instructor's lead.
As they entered the dungeon, the first thing Sylvie felt was her insides turning up and down. And because she was getting carried by the instructor at a rapid pace with a weird posture, it was very severe.
"Burghk!"
On the way, she couldn't help but throw up.
"Bear with it; we are almost there."
Just as the instructor said, in almost two minutes, they had reached their destination. They didn't encounter any monsters on the way because the instructor was way too fast for them to follow their lead.
They reached the location where the last signal had been detected, and the instructor came to a halt. She seemed to be trying to sense something, her expression tense.
"There's a barrier here. I can't sense anything inside it."
Sylvie's unease grew as the instructor mentioned the barrier. It was clear that something unusual was happening, and they needed to proceed with caution.
"S-should we enter here?" She slightly stuttered as she felt the fear once again.
"Yes, we should."
"B-but…."
"Don't worry. I am strong."
With those words, the instructor extended her hand, and a soft, pale light emanated from her palm. With a gentle push, the barrier began to shimmer, and they could now see what lay beyond.
"Huh?"
And the scene that unfolded before them sent shivers down Sylvie's spine.
As the barrier dissipated, the sight that unfolded before them was one of horror and despair.. There were signs of battle all around the place.
Blood was everywhere. Bodies of monsters were scattered around, and even though Sylvie didn't know what they were, the arrows stabbed on their body made it obvious that they were dead.
However, the thing that got their attention was none of them.
