Dungeon Raider System

Chapter 260 Unspeakable horrors

It had been many centuries since the skinwalker had returned to her original form, in fact, she didn't remember what she did look like nor that she was a woman. The sight of her own body after so long was the most painful experience she ever endured and it caused it to fall on a frenzy.

She darted out of the room where Uriel and Charlie were and headed right back to the dungeon after grabbing a snack. She had been trapped for so long in the first world, formless and alone, she couldn't believe she was walking right back to that cursed place on her own volition.

But it was necessary for her survival, she needed to reach that place before she finished consuming the small portion of skin she got from Uriel or she would forget everything about him.

There was no way Uriel could have forged his memories, hence everything she saw had to be the truth, but that only made things worse.

On her true form she was as fast as the wind and as strong as a holy rank hunter, but even with all of her might she just wasn't equipped to kill Uriel and she needed to seek the help of someone who could, or else the young man would most likely destroy the dungeon.

Unfortunately for the foul creature, as she neared the dungeon entrance she realized it was guarded by the stone guardian, the living statue of a woman whose name was long forgotten but was now called the Lady of the Alamo.

There was no point in trying to speak to the lifeless statue, just as there was no point in trying to fight it.

With that in mind, the skinwalker carved a single word on the trunk of a tree that pointed directly towards the dungeon in hopes that it would eventually be read by whatever unspeakable horror climbed out of the dungeon.

'Croatoan'

Charlie froze at the sight of what lied in front of and started shivering uncontrollably. Her eyes flooded with tears as she saw what no human ever should, it was the scene of a massacre so vile it couldn't be put to words.

"Please, don't... don't tell them I cried on you." She said as she wiped the snot and tears from Uriel's jacket.

"As long as you don't tell anyone about this." Uriel said as he went over to the place where he dropped Thunderbolt Iron after being zapped by it.

"Is that what you used to kill the rat things"

"Rat things, huh. At least now I know how to name them when Luna asks me."

"Luna, as in Moonlight? Do you know her?"

"Yes, she lives with me."

"So, you're familiar with the Dungeon Raiders?" Charlie asked one of the questions Uriel wanted to avoid the most, but he couldn't find it in whatever was left of his heart to lie to her any more than it was strictly necessary.

"Yes, I work for them." Still, a half truth was the most that he managed to say.

"Could you introduce me to them? I've asked the Lightbringer several times, but he always refuses saying he's a married man."

"Are you looking for a job or something?" Uriel lifted a brow.

"It's just that I really want to meet Raider, I've heard a lot of things about him and... well... You know, I wouldn't mind marrying someone like him." Charlie said blushingly as they set off on their way back to the city.
