An Extra’s POV Chapter 483 The Unexpected Shift

Chapter 483 The Unexpected Shift

“LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU INSOLENT HUMANS!”

With a flap of its wings, the Skeletal Dragon Lord screeched, sending a massive gust of wind flying all around him.

A dark surge of energy burst out of its body, though none of it affected the assaulters.

Still, the violent winds seemed to push them back, allowing all of the assaulters to group up with the Mages.

Even the Assassin who had been attacking from his distance was nearly blown away from his location, so he ended up rendezvousing with everyone else.

As all nine of them, alongside the rabbit, stared hard at the flustered Skeletal Dragon Lord, they could sense its unease.

‘I was beginning to get worried that our attacks were doing nothing, but thankfully that isn’t the case.’ Adonis thought to himself with a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Skeletal Dragon Lord had taken heavy damage from their barrage. If that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be so flustered.

The colossal creature flapped its wings and ascended high above the reach of everyone, much faster than they could hope to catch up.

Before long, it was about a hundred meters in the air, staring down on them with furious eyes—though something about its gaze also rang with caution.

Adonis smiled to himself as he tightly clenched his blade.

‘The three minutes are now up. I’m sure it’ll try to attack us ferociously, bombarding us with all sorts of attacks.’

If it poured all its attacks in offense, it would give them the chance to charge forward and surprise it with their strongest moves.

‘I’ll have to use my Divine Sword for this, though… just in case!’

There was no telling if they could ever get such an opening like this again, and Adonis knew they couldn’t just keep chipping away at the health of the Dragon until their time was up.

‘Its bombardment is bound to create a cloud of explosion, which will impede the vision of everyone present. I’ll use that as a chance to strike with all my power.’

With everyone’s assistance, and him dealing the final blow, everything was bound to work out splendidly!

… Or so he thought.

~FSH!~

In one brief whisper, almost as if something just flashed in all of his senses, Adonis found himself in a completely separate space from where he previously was.

“H-huh…?” His eyes blinked a few times as he looked around him in confusion.

The flooring in his immediate area was the same as what existed in the Boss Room, but the rest of the flooring was different.

‘What just happened? Where am I?’

Adonis found himself within a relatively smaller place, filled with tons of Undead Mobs that surrounded him with malevolent eyes.

There were tons of B-Tier and A-Tier Monsters that filled his sights; including three Liches and two Death Knights.

All of them watched him with an evil presence, and before he could even let out another thought, they rushed at him.

~VWUUSH!~

He swiftly cut down the ones that charged at him, but as his sweat sprayed, his heart began to race. The pace climbed at an abnormal rate and his thoughts were in shambles.

‘Why am I here? Why am I the only one? Where are the others? What happened to the Skeletal Dragon Lord?!’

Adonis didn’t understand.

It all felt instant, like he was somewhere at one moment, and somewhere else at another.

… Almost like the Zone shifts from earlier.

‘D-don’t tell me…!’ Adonis’ eyes widened as he realized what had just happened, and why it had proven to be fatal for everyone.

“The Dragon Lord… it must have used that Skill he uses on this Dungeon!’

He had previously thought it was a mere Dungeon Function, since he never saw the Dragon Lord use it once on them. But… if this was indeed a Skill, then they were all doomed.

‘He bypassed my defenses by simply switching the space around me with this new place.’ Adonis suspected that the same happened to the rest of his comrades.

‘Shit! I have to hurry!’ His mind echoed with worry and deep fear.

All the confidence that he built up immediately collapsed as he slashed through the horde of Undead.

‘The time limit… once it’s up, everyone will be vulnerable, and none of us will have a chance of beating that thing!’

More sweat prayed from Adonis’ face as he felt despair close in on him.

‘I… I can’t let this happen!’

He could feel his heart race and tears nearly welling up in his eyes.

He had no idea where he was and how to return to the Boss Room. He had no idea how long it would take, or if he was ever even going to be able to get there.

If the Zones began to change yet again, and the Dragon was in control of every change, then there was no way he was ever going to escape.

‘Am I going to be stuck here while it slaughters all the Adventurers?!’ Adonis felt so frustrated.

He felt so frustrated that tears began trickling from his eyes as he felt his entire muscles ache and his heart nearly bursting in pain.

“NO! NO, PLEASE!”

Screaming so loudly that the room shook, Adonis realized something.

‘After he’s done with them… we’re next, aren’t we?’ His eyes turned bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and let more hot tears flow.

‘It’ll pick us up, one after the other… killing us at its leisure.’

There was nothing they could do to stop him! It was a mistake to even think they had a chance, to begin with.

“I-if only… if only Sir Ralyks was here…” Adonis sobbed, finally looking around him and seeing that all the Undead surrounding him had been defeated.

His blade of light vanished and he collapsed on the floor, amidst the rotting flesh and shattered bones in the room.

More tears fell from his eyes and he powerlessly made a soft whisper while closing his eyes.

“He could save everyone… if he was here.”

[A/N]

Thanks for reading!

At first, we see Adonis as one overpowered and confident character, but the further into the story we go, the more we see how inadequate he really is.

He really is one of my three favorite characters in this book.
