13 Mission of the Tower 2
Paul and Dina continued following Ray's group at a distance. But as soon as they ventured through the forest...
...the ground started shaking.
"Everyone! get out of here and scatter around!" with Rey's shout, a huge crack started to form at the ground that they were standing on.
Everyone avoided the place as a huge green snake erupted from it.

"It's a rare class monster and in level 23!" Celene said frightened. The python, not taller than a three-story building and longer than four buses combined, made a motion on its tail.
[The python will used a tail smash]
"Everyone! Dodge!" Jess shouted.
"Louisa!" Celene screamed in fright, as the little girl whose name is Louisa tripped. She immediately went to her but as soon as she looked up.
"Celene! Louisa!" Jess cried as she jumped towards them.
The tail was just inches to them, Celene closed her eyes as she hugged Louisa tightly.
One second, then two, then it became a minute. She didn't feel anything. She slowly opened her eyes...
In front of her was the sister, with its pure white dress, in all its glory standing there holding the snake's tail. Then with her two hands, she started hammering the snake down violently, left and right.
"What?! I don't know that sisters could be this scary."
Celene was so shocked to utter a word and just nodded her head stupidly with her mouth wide open in Jess' words.
"What do you think you're trying to do with the younger ones huh?!" Evelyn said as she continued to lay waste on the python.
Some green dusts were spread out as the python continues to be hammered. It became smaller and smaller until it was now a size of a worm.
After that, Evelyn loosened her grip at the python's tail. It was shivering as it runs away for its life, diving back at the ground again.
"That was refreshing!" Evelyn said as she dusted off her hands.
"Wow! Sister is so strong. I want to be a sister too!" Louisa happily said as she hugged Evelyn.
"Oh sure little one, the convent is always welcome to those who seeks God's path of living."
"Wow! That's great. Ate Jess! Ate Celene, you should be one too!"
"No thanks. I'm already married and have kids."
"No. I can't abandon my oppas and senpais."
Both Jess and Celene said at the same time.
"That's too bad. I want to be with you both." Louisa said sadly.
Both Jess and Celene were confused about what to do when they saw that sad face of Louisa.
"That's ok little one. It's not good to force people of something they don't want to do." Evelyn said as she patted Louisa's head.
"Really?" Louisa said as she looked up to Evelyn then to Jess and Celene who were nodding their heads vigorously.
"Ok. I'll keep that in mind" Louisa finally said.
Jess and Celene both sigh in relief as Evelyn pat Louisa's head more.
"What ironic advice coming from someone like you." Rey suddenly appeared beside Evelyn.
"Where were you during the fight mister? Celene and Louisa almost got killed!" Jess asked as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
"I looked for a faster way for our destination to not waste any more time. And I know you'll be fine. The sister is here after all."
Both Jess and Celene can't retort back to Rey since what he said is right.
Jess sigh in defeat as she just asked. "Ok. So where are these stairs that will lead us down?"
"It's around in the middle of the forest under a huge unique tree," Rey said.
"Let's keep moving now." Evelyn continued to walk now as she held Louisa's hands.
Paul and Dina who were surprised just one thing after another, quietly followed after them as per Giselle's words.
They continued to walk by, the trees became denser and denser as they ventured deeper and deeper in the forest.
So far, they didn't encounter any monsters unlike the first one. But they could hear a timely echo of screams all over the place. It was surely from other people who ventured first around the forest.
"They're strong. I'll not be surprised if they already knew we are tailing them." Dina whispered as they hid in another tree.
Following Ray's group secretly as they want was not hard due to the trees around.
"The sister is terrifying."
"Yeah. This is the first one in my entire life that I felt bad for a snake! " Dina said.
"Hahaha. Yeah. Also, that guy seems strong too."
"How can you be sure. He looks very skinny to me, compared to Mr. Black?" Dina asked as they move to another location to hide. (note: Dina is referring to Argaux that way since he is wearing all-black clothes. They still don't know his name)
"Well, see that sword on his waist. It looks cool plus he got a harem with all those ladies with him. I'm feeling jealous." Paul whispered.
"Really Paul. That's your reasoning? Gash! you're unbelievable." Dina rolled her eyes as she said that, annoyed.
"Well, there's also the fact that he acts the leader. So he must be strong for his hare- I mean group to follow him." Paul scratched his head as he said those words, then fixed his glasses.
"That's the good point I'm looking for. Wait! They stopped moving."
"But why are we going down? Aren't we supposed to go up?" Dina said confused.
"I don't know! I'm just following Giselle's words so you should be too."
Both Dina and Paul halted their movements. They were just a few meters away from Rey's troupe. They moved more closely and hid in some bushes. Now they were very close to them and just a meter away.
They can also hear their conversations well.
"So, this is the unique tree you're talking about?" Celene asked.
"Yeah."
"So where are the stairs?" Celene followed up.
Rey moved toward the only tree with rampions surrounding it. He stopped in the middle. He then crouched down as he picks the smallest yet looked the most vibrant rampion.
As soon as he did that. The surrounding started shaking again. The roots of the tree started to come out from the ground as it destroyed the other rampions around it.
Soon the rampions get destroyed from the place where it is planted. A hole was starting to form around the tree. Then after a few more times, there was now a spiral stairway in front of them surrounding the tree. The said spiral stairway is heading downstairs.
"So even this, you know of it," Evelyn said as she tried to grab the small rampion that Rey is holding.
"This one is mine. Sorry." Then the Rampion disappeared in Rey's hand as he stored it on his space ring.
That rampion was not an ordinary one. It's a healing item that can completely heal anyone even with a severe limb compared to fairy tears which he only got one stock.
For some reason, as soon as he was going to buy some items from the FairyTale shop, most of it was completely sold out! If not, whoever buys it, really got some nerves to still leave one stock which is the only thing that he buys.
**************************************
*Achoo!* I sneezed. It's really-really chilly right here now.
"Via! You said we will be fine!" Frea frowned as she continued to ratted on.
"But what now! We're stuck in this sticky web!"
"Well not my fault, in the first place you are the one who puts us in this situation." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, the green mold should always be the right way like SpongeBob says."
I wanted to tear my hair in frustration but I can't since her hand was glued in this freaking sticky web. Just remembering what happened earlier made my veins wanted to pop out in frustration.
(An hour ago...)
I continued to walk inside the tunnel. If not for the golden thread, I would be really lost here. There were just so many other sewages leading to different places. Well, after all this connects the whole city.
Frea quietly followed me behind until we came to a halt. In front of us were two tunnels. As soon as I was going to step on the left one, Frea blocked her way.
"What are you doing?" I asked as she raised her brows.
"That's the wrong way."
"And how can you say that?" I looked at the thread that I was holding which clearly led to the left one. Oh, I forgot Frea could not see the thread.
"Because of that!" Frea pointed out to a medium-sized rock that was illuminated by one of the lights under the tunnel. Half of it was still brown while the other half has already green molds.
"What of it?" Via asked getting impatient already.
"It's facing the right tunnel so we're going this way!" Frea ran towards the right tunnel without further delay.
"?! Wait! You stupid girl!" I tried to grab her hand back but she was way too fast and went ahead in an instant. Then...
"Ahhhh!" With her scream I immediately followed her and now, yey, we are back to our current situation, stuck in this freaking web.
Just then I realized that Frea becomes silent. I look at her but she was looking upward. She was shivering from something or whatever she saw there. I got a hunch about what it is even without looking.
Though, I still look up.
You see if there is a web-like this, then it was really really obvious. Of course! There was a spider living here! And based on this size, it would be really huge. This was still a level 4 dungeon after all! So hooray for our lives!
"Via! It's coming closer!" Frea cried out loud.
Both I and her screamed with all our might. She with a shrilling "Ahhhh!" shout and I with all the one thousand and one curses I know in different languages.
