Meanwhile, Tiona, Tione, Riveria, and Gareth weren't in a much better position. They were all scattered and divided up into several groups before being attacked by a group of Evilus.
"Dammit! Where's everyone?!"
Tiona was depressed since they were all separated. She looked around the passageway, but only confusion appeared in her eyes.
Where is this place?
Where should she go next?
She didn't know what to do at all!
"Tiona, what should we do next?"
A girl's voice came from behind, making her even more confused.
"Ahaha... Anakitty, why don't you take the command?"
Tiona turned around and gave the cat girl from the Second String group a smile full of anticipation.
"No, no, no, I can't do it!"
Anakitty waved her hand several times. "Now we can only depend on you, Tiona!"
'Don't say that!'
Tiona secretly complained.
She was the type who could move her fists faster than her brain when she encountered a problem. She understood that she wasn't that smart, and she basically left all the decision makers and all the things that used the brain to the other executives.
As for commanding or whatever, she couldn't do it at all.
"It would be nice if I fell with Riveria..."
Tiona felt bitter in her heart.
When they fell into the hole, she saw Riveria fall, but it was a shame that the two of them didn't fall in the same place. If they fell in the same place, she could leave all the decision makers to Riveria.
"But it is impossible now..."
Tiona glanced at the people behind her.
They all fell into the hole together, and at the moment, they had all put their trust in Tiona.
'Tiona, we depend on you.'
Those words were clearly expressed in their expression.
Honestly, Tiona was flustered, and she didn't have an idea of what to do.
"No, I have to do something! I am the only executive here!"
Tiona patted her cheeks hard.
Even if she was nervous and wasn't sure what to do, it wouldn't help her if she continued like this.
She was an executive, so she knew she had to take responsibility!
"Okay, it's best if we can meet everyone, especially Finn or Tsukasa!"
"OOOH!"
The reliable image of Tsukasa and Finn had already been planted in their minds.
Their only regret was that they had to be separated, which made them unsure of what to do.
If possible, they wanted to meet either Finn or Tsukasa, but in the worst case, it was okay to meet either Riveria or Gareth.
Still, if they knew Finn was hurt, their morale would be worsened.
Fortunately, they didn't know what happened to Finn, showing that ignorance was blissful.
Anyway, they knew they had to group up, or else their situation might be worsened.
However, suddenly...
"Tiona! Tiona!"
"What's wrong, Anakitty?"
Tiona followed the gaze of Anakitty, whose tongue was trembling, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
They saw a monster about a meter, covered in disgusting mucus, without any limbs or face, like a maggot, wriggled from the ceiling, walls, ground, and everywhere.
They came in as a group, and their target was Tiona and the rest!
"Poison Vermis!"
"A poisonous monster in the Lower Floors!"
"Calm down! Take out the magic weapon!"
They quickly reacted and took out the magic weapons that were given by Tsukasa. They felt relief and started to shoot those maggots!
Yet there were too many, and they decided to run while killing them.
Poison Vermis was a terrifying monster, and they had experienced it beforehand.
If Tsukasa wasn't there, the group of Poison Vermis would almost kill most of the members of the Loki Familia.
They kept running and hurried to the other side of the passage.
"Shadow?"
Tiona, who ran fast in the passage with everyone, noticed several figures in the black cloaks that appeared before them.
"For Thanatos-sama!"
"Cecil, wait for me!"
"Michelle, I am coming for you!"
After watching a group of people that ran in their direction while shouting frantically, even ignoring the magic weapons that shot toward their direction, Tiona felt strange.
"Those guys!"
However, Tiona glanced at the Poison Vermis and everyone who was busy killing a group of monsters. She thought to should smash the group of people with black cloaks with a fist.
However, a blazing red light suddenly came from the body of the people in the black clocks.
*BOOOOOOM!*
*BOOOOOOM!*
The fire spread everywhere, and the sound of the explosion resounded throughout the passage.
After the dust dissipated, several black clocks' figures disappeared.
"It hurts..."
Tiona was blown away by the explosion, with burns all over her body, and her expression became hideous. Fortunately, Ganryuu, the weapon given by Tsukasa, was wide enough to be used as a shield, so her injuries weren't so bad, but they still hurt!
"It is a suicide attack!"
"Tiona, are you alright?"
Anakitty and the others quickly took out their recovery potion.
They were familiar with the red light that came from the group of people in the black clock.
It was a special drop item called "Kaenseki," which was only dropped from Flame Rock, a monster in the dungeon. Once it detonated, it became how it is now.
"Sorry."
Tiona could imagine with her not-so-smart brain that their enemies had already treated them as mice in the trap, which could be killed anytime, making her heart heavy.
Meanwhile, Tione cursed after they were separated from Gareth's group by the Oricalchum gate.
"Damn, Poison Vermis! Damn, suicide attack!"
Tione didn't stop her mouth and kept cursing. She has been moving around the man-made dungeon, trying to search for the others. If possible, she wanted to meet Finn, especially when she felt foreboding inside her heart.
However, as soon as she walked, she found many Poison Vermis in the passage.
She thought to run away, but with a "bang," the passage behind her was blocked by a new Oricalchum gate.
She didn't have any choices and could only fight them. Fortunately, Tsukasa had prepared a magic weapon for everyone, or they would be troubled.
Killing Poison Vermis.
Killing a group of men in black clocks.
She kept killing without stopping and became the incarnation of madness since she had had enough of all of this!
"ARRRGGG! Get the fuck away from me! "
While the others were slightly scared by Tione's state, they kept supporting her by shooting the magic weapons in the opponent's direction.
No one was Tione's opponent until a group of men on the clock did something different. They didn't approach them. Instead, they raised their hands and shouted in unison.
Instantly, some kind of blood-red wave was released from this group.
The other people in the black cloaks kept chanting something and waved their wands, attacking Tione with magic.
"This?!"
Tione felt her body become heavy, and she couldn't help but scream in surprise.
It wasn't gravity magic, and she didn't feel she was held by something, but she felt there were many problems in her body that made it hard for her to move.
"It's a curse!"
'Those guys!'
Being attacked by a curse which put her body in an abnormal state, her speed slowed down, and she was significantly weakened.
"Go and attack her!"
A large number of people in the black clocks came from all directions and rushed toward Tione.
The others were desperate since they also had to kill the Poison Vermis, but now, Tione was also trapped by the curse.
"Go back!"
However, the next moment, an angry shout spreads throughout the passage.
"Tione is my prey! I won't let you interfere with our battle!"
The men in the black cloaks suddenly stopped and looked at each other in dismay.
"This voice..."
Tione looked at the person in front of her.
A beautiful Amazoness appeared from behind a group of men in black clocks. Her sandy-colored hair was tied into a snake-like braid, and her beautiful face was full of surging fighting intent.
"Argana... you have joined Evilus!"
"Stop the curse. I will fight her without it."
Argana walked step by step in front of Tione. Her eyes were burning with fiery intent, ready to pounce on Tione anytime.
"I don't care what the Evilus, or care about them. My purpose from the beginning to the end is only one, and that is to defeat you! Tione, if you want to pass here, then defeat me!"
