Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht could hardly understand how someone could have such a monstrous physical strength without using soul force. It was true that humans in this world had way better physical constitutions than other humans on earth for example.

However, that by no means means that what Uli did was something that is possible. So, there were only two choices to look at at this point.

Either Uli used soul force but Acht couldn't sense which is the most unlikely one since that is impossible to happen and Acht is unable to sense it.

Or, there is a kind of power hidden inside Uli that Acht did not know about.

'He's a walking mystery.' Acht thought to himself.

They didn't meet for longer than a few hours and he could already see that this seemingly unknown seventh member was by far the weirdest out of every Nightingale's members.

But, the boy knew that this was not the time to think about such a thing so he shook his thoughts away and focused on the matter at hand.

The group then continued their journey deeper and deeper into the mountains chain.

Two hours passed with them walking at a rather normal pace with Uli walking slightly ahead of them.

Lein clicked her tongue and glared at Uli.

"How long are we going to walk for? My fucking legs are wet now." She said in a grumpy tone.

"We are close, Lein. My lowly senses are telling me so."

Then, suddenly, his head perked up and he looked at a certain place before running like a madman there.

Everyone looked at each other before following him quickly through the thick trees covered with tons of snow.

Their steps were agile and silent but they left a deep trace in the snow.

Then, they reached another place where they found Uli standing in front of a normal tree. His head was looking down.

"Here. It is here. I can't believe that I was able to find it. That scared me." He said.

His words made Weltz look dumbfounded.

"So you didn't know the fucking place and you found it by coincidence? Are you fucking serious?" He shouted.

Uli heard him and he shook his head frantically.

"Nooo!! I didn't say that! I swear."

"I will fucking slice your head off." He said as he pulled out his spear and walked toward him.

However, he was stopped by Lenny who had an extremely serious face.

"Calm down and focus. Can't you feel this?"

"Feel wh-"

As Weltz was about to say something, his senses finally picked up what the others felt before him.

His angry face turned serious immediately and he looked at the place where Uli stood.

"This is…" Jack muttered.

"It's insane. How could so much energy accumulate in one single place? Is this even possible?" Torn questioned confusedly.

"I don't have any idea," Lein answered with the same shocked face.

Lenny was the first to recuperate from the surprise and he looked back and said.

"Let's go in. Be careful and don't touch anything no matter how normal it looks. We already are aware of the danger inside and we need to be careful." He then walked to the hole they were standing in front of.

It was barely the width of an average person with no light inside to show how far deep into the ground it was.

He then tapped with his cane once and his body immediately disappeared from its initial position.

Everyone didn't take long to follow him inside.

One after the other, they jumped inside the hole. They didn't know how deep it was but it wouldn't pose any threat to them except if it was kilometers long for example which was very unlikely.

Acht was the last one to go inside.

He was aware of the danger that was inside but for some unknown reason, he didn't feel any fear or stress. In fact, he was actually attracted to the place as if it was calling for him.

It was a very soothing feeling that made every pore of his body scream with joy.

'What is this? Is this the effect of that creature's heart inside of me?' He thought to himself as he touched his chest.

Then, with a small sigh, he jumped inside the hole.

The darkness soon engulfed him as he used gravity to lessen the impact of the landing when he reached the bottom.

However, much to his surprise, the hole wasn't that deep as after a few seconds of free-falling, he found himself near the ground so he tapped his legs once and he landed very quietly like a feather.

When he stood up again, he found that he was in front of a tunnel that was eerily similar to the one he found inside the other hole in the other dungeon albeit bigger.

"Damn, this place looks creepy. The energy is also pushing me away." Lein said as she tapped her clothes to clean the dirt from them.

"That tunnel will lead us to the chamber I was talking about. Sigh, I will have to bear with looking at those beautiful men that were obviously way better than me. What a world of suffering indeed!" Uli said in his now usual dramatic self.

Lenny then approached the tunnel and inspected it, it was not that weird as it was made out of stone and dirt.

Then, with calm yet cautious steps, he wakes inside the big tunnel.

"Be careful, boss," Weltz said.

The old man didn't answer him and kept walking till he reached the end of the tunnel.

"You can come now. It's safe, for now at least."

The group nodded their heads and followed him inside.

What awaited them at the end of the tunnel was a scene they had never witnessed before.

"What in the actual fuck? This is more messed up than what you described, Uli." Torn said.

Everyone silently agreed with his words as the scene was genuinely creepy and chilling to the bone.
