Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Race against time.



Soma, with swift movement, closes his distance with the senior male while the other is still absentmindedly trying to process the information they received in their head.

"Exactly how many people and how much time has passed since the disappearance?".

Seeing Soma, who suddenly asked him with a firm tone, made the male senior face twitch in shock, but unfortunately, after seeing the serious eyes on Soma's face, the male gulped his saliva and spoke.

"It was captain Ryuu and one of his members, a first-year boy, Team B captain Serafina, and many more first and second-year students from Team B; they were gone for about thirty minutes or less."

"Tch!".

Soma began to move his feet under the watchful eye of everyone. They weirdly see his figure drafted toward the gate that will lead them toward the boss's room, which makes the other face pale.

"Wait, Soma!".

"?!".

Everyone in the place was taken aback as they began to question his daring action. Akane and Kaori, who hold a commendable position in the club, dashed away and managed to arrive at his side. Akane extended her right hand to grab his hand.

However, Soma's instinct activated without his conscience as he deflected the extended hand, and then he put his palm on the massive door that led to the boss's room.

"What is he doing?".

"Is he nuts?".

"Someone stopped him".

Every senior and first-year student stared in horror at what Soma was about to do. Even many of the second-year students didn't dare to challenge it recklessly, but Soma shamelessly dared to risk his life in a situation where they were in distress.

"Will you quit it, Soma!".

"Back off!".

Soma's strong tone and outburst caused Akane to back away slightly. The atmosphere in the room turned heavy; as for Akane, the one who was near him, her body started to tremble uncontrollably, and the menacing visual, at that time, began to replicate in front of her eyes.

Akane's sight was filled with burning anger that tried to swallow her, and not just her, but the other students who heard that shout felt that the current Soma was dangerous.

Soma brushed away the complaints that were directed at him and looked toward the translucent window in front of him.

[Do you wish to challenge the Boss Room?]

[Yes or No]

"Yes".

The door started to shake, and it let out a menacing rumbling that shook everyone's hearts, for it was made from stone, raising a cloud of dust toward the air, completing the heavy aura that enveloped the camp.

Everyone in the place gulped their saliva for the opened door, and their gaze simultaneously turned to Soma, who suddenly changed his demeanor.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

[Drawing the Devil's power within the user's body]

Soma's body was clad in crimson aura, and many other students who saw him trembled in fear because of the sheer overwhelming pressure he exerted. However, for Soma, this kind of strength was still not enough.

[Martial Saint First Technique Three Steps of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation]

"First Step - Lightning Scatter".

A roar from the shrieking crimson bolts that appeared around his body began to spread its veins to the atmosphere, making the students who saw him gulp in awe and fear.

Many of them, especially Akane and Kaori, who stand near him, feel the terrifying energy from this technique Soma unleashed.

"This is?!".

"What is?".

Akane and Kaori's bodies were stoned because the pressure that hit them was becoming more intense, making their body drenched in cold sweat. They never thought Soma had concealed his full power all this time, and it could have exerted this much power when he released it.

Meanwhile, Soma, who is at the center of the attention, was. "Fuu, Another change in the plot, huh? No wonder. Also, the current victims were not just two Main Characters, but multiple people that got transferred into the depths of this dungeon".

In the story Chronicles Saga, the only ones who will be transferred in this situation are Xiao Lian and Leon, but the situation turns much worse.

The door was completely opened, and it was covered with a thin layer of darkness that gave off an eerie feeling for the students who saw it. However, Soma tensed the muscles in his body and entered the room.

"What, hey, Soma!".

"Akane, let's go and follow him!".

"Tch".

Akane and Kaori decide to follow Soma inside; as they pass the layer, they see a bipedal monster standing in the middle of the vast space, surrounded entirely by rocks, and in the center above, there is a huge crystal chunk that lets out light to brighten the space.

"That was".

"Gremlin lord".

Stood in the innermost part of the space, a Gremlin lord, a monster with thick red fur and almost the same height as a teenager, holding a wand with a red sphere on its tip.

"You're in the way!".

Soma, with his merciless tone, closed his distance with the monster, and with a single swing from his leg, the monster's body blasted to the side wall before it disintegrated and turned into a mana core.

[You Gained Exp!]

He ignored the killed monster before proceeding toward the appearance of another hole that would lead him toward the deeper floor.

"He defeated it easily".

"...?!".

Akane, who saw it firsthand, opened her eyes wide in shock, and Kaori covered her open jaw while they witnessed Soma had already proceeded toward the next floor.

"Akane, we have to hurry and catch up".

Kaori's sense of kindness began to sprout out as she couldn't let herself see one of her juniors entering his death door.

On the other hand, Akane, who is slightly curious about Soma, shifted her perception to become suspicious. Her brows knitted as she also slightly agreed with Kaori's plan, but they were currently lacking personnel to deal with this problem.

"I know how you feel about Kaori, but let's regroup with the other first, get as much information as possible, and form a team to catch up to Soma".

"But, but…".

"Let's go kaori!".

Not wanting to delay any longer than this, Akane dragged Kaori toward the earlier room where they were regrouped with the other. "I will investigate him thoroughly later. For now, I have to do something about the missing students first…". Her steps halted as she realized something that finally caught her attention. "Wait, where did Soma go anyway? Does he know where the missing people go?".

With more dubious actions Soma had done, Akane began to be more convinced to start her investigation thoroughly at him, searching out if he was an ally or a foe.

***

Soma, who saw the light in front of him, braced himself as it pierced his eyes and got used to a dim place.

"So it's still the same as in the story told".

He began to recall his memories of this incident. The newfound dungeon in Okinawa had more than twenty floors. It consists of the first five floors as a beginner area, and from the six and more, it is an intermediate area where the structure and geographies are a bit different.

In front of him was a blinding light that shone above the ceilings. Soma was welcomed by the smell of grass and the scene of lush greenery that filled his entire eyes. The rustling sound from the leaves swayed by the wind and a towering tree that filled the entire field narrowed his vision. He knitted his brows as he couldn't waste any more time than this.

He kicked the ground, creating a web crack that made him soar to mid-air, and began to accelerate on it, using the atmosphere as a foothold and giving him a broader perspective to search for a way to descend to the next floor.

"Please hang in there, girls!".
