Everyone was assailed by a montary sensation of weightlessness, and they all disappeared from the room.
A few seconds after their disappearance, the Knight Captain, accompanied by a few of his knights, entered the room. His voice carried a cold edge as he questioned, "Is this where we lost their connection?"
"Yes, sir," a knight stamred in response.
"This is a trap room! How did we not know about it?" The Knight Captain’s anger flared, but he swiftly regained his composure. "Go, find the rest of the children and ensure their safety. This trap must have led them to lower levels of the dungeon. I will go and rescue them."
With those instructions given, Sir William vanished from the room. He didn’t teleport but instead moved with a speed that surpassed human comprehension. As he departed, the other knights followed suit, each carrying out their assigned tasks diligently.
Kelly and the others could feel the atmosphere shift. A mont later, they all fell to the ground with a thud. Kelly groaned in pain as he felt his aching butt, then looked around. Most of his other classmates were still on the ground, but Agawa and Kenji, along with Ayato and the other vanguard fighters, were already on their feet, examining their surroundings. The magic circle from earlier must have contained a teleportation spell.
Kelly and the others had been teleported onto a massive stone bridge. It was around one hundred ters in length. The ceiling also towered a full twenty ters above them. Below the bridge was not a river, but instead a dark abyss with no visible end. The gaping chasm resembled the very pits of hell.
Looking at it, sent shivers inside Kelly’s body; he suddenly rembered the dream that he had long forgotten and stood there in confusion not knowing what to do he inadvertently glanced towards Kei and saw she was grumpily standing up. Shaking his head, he started observing his surroundings again.
Though the bridge was ten ters wide, it had no railing at all, so if soone slipped, there would be nothing to catch their fall. Kelly and the others were sent to the middle of the bridge. One side of the bridge was a passage heading further in, while stairs leading upward were at the other end. After confirming the situation, Agawa didn’t waste much ti and curtly barked out orders. "Everyone, get up and head for the stairs! Now!" His voice bood louder than thunder, and the students hurried to follow his orders.
However, Dungeon’s traps were not so easy to escape. They would not be allowed to retreat so easily. New magic circles suddenly appeared on the side of the bridge with stairs leading to upper floors, accompanied by a swirling torrent of dark red mana. The magic circle on the stairs-side was only one ter each, but there were many. The dark red magic circles resembled pools of blood and gave off an ominous feel. They pulsed once, and waves of monsters began pouring forth. From the countless magic circles near the stairs ca a horde of skeletons wielding swords, Traum Soldiers. Their empty eye sockets glead with the sa blood-red light as the circles they ca from, and they rolled around like real eyes too.
Within seconds, the stairs were teeming with nearly a hundred of creatures, and more were still pouring out. Despite their numbers, Kelly thought what was coming out on the passage-side of the bridge was far more of a threat. Suddenly, bestial noises and sounds of footsteps started echoing from the passageway. Everyone waited with bated breath as they saw the creature. It stood on two legs and had so kind of helt on its head with a big shell covering its whole body to Kelly, the closest thing it resembled was a tortoise from their world.
However, unlike a tortoise, its eyes glowed bright red, it was rather huge about five ters in height, it carried a mighty shell on its back which was very big, tallic and decorated unevenly with very long tallic spikes, whether it was its abdon, back, groin and even it’s head had incredible defense as it clacked its wicked sharp claws and fangs together, flas sprouted from the horn on its helted forehead.
Everyone stared at it in slack-jawed horror, and Agawa’s terrified whisper resounded surprisingly clearly throughout the room.
