Novel Bin Chapter 196: Thank you for the food
"grrr" Theodare growled as he transformed his hands into dragon-like claws and rushed to Amir\'s aid.
"Marie, Contact Alexander!" I shouted at her.
"Huh?" Marie wore a bewildered expression as she picked up a box-like device to communicate with Alexander.
She must have been wondering how I knew about this device, given that Alexander had given it to her secretly. Well, as long as I had the Fairy\'s blessing, I could literally control every animal, even as a Soulless I was.
Spying on others was a simple task.
But what confounded me was how in the world he had acquired these previously unseen artifacts.
"Ms. A-Alysia, it\'s not w-working" Marie stammered with a terrified expression.
"Tsk" I clicked my tongue.
"Let\'s break the bracelet" I shouted at my team members, I started with Tiana, who was standing in front of me, shattering her bracelet first, then breaking mine, and finally destroying Kayden\'s.
\'shatter\'
A sound like shattering glass echoed through the chamber as the bracelets broke.
Just as we hoped that the teleportation would now work, Dungeon Walker\'s tone shifted.
"Oh, So you guys developed this much...ah...and this also.....Interesting \'snap\'" it said with a sly expression before snapping its fingers.
"aarrrrhhhh"
"uurrrrhh"
"aaaarrrrrr"
Three guttural cries erupted, one from each of us.
I gazed down at my hands, which had begun to disintegrate due to the bracelets, only to find that the disintegration had come to an abrupt halt, leaving us all injured.
It dawned on me that the teleportation process had been disrupted.
Not only me but Tiana and Marie were also affected.
\'It stopped the teleportation\' I muttered, realizing the extent of our predicament.
I quickly retrieved a healing potion from my belongings and handed it to Marie and Tiana, keeping one for myself as I sipped it.

We were vulnerable and unguarded, yet the monster didn\'t seem interested in us at all. Instead, it focused on Amir.
"This is your last chance, take your vessel and leave!!!" It threatened.
I....struggled to understand what it meant by \'vessel.\'
It was clear that Amir\'s confrontation with the monster was growing increasingly tense.
"How dare you mere--" Theodare, who was standing before Amir, began to voice his protest, but before he could finish his sentence,
\'BOOM\'
Dungeon Walker delivered a powerful blow to Theodare\'s abdomen, sending him reeling backwards and landing near Amir.
Amir with deadly eyes glared at the monster before glancing at Theodare who had a large hole in his stomach.
"You\'re just a Monster....How dare look down on me? The Dragon Emperor!!!" Amir shouted furiously, his eyes locked onto the Dungeon Walker.
/Dragonification/
Amir\'s body glowed brightly as Yellow Flames wrapped around him.
"Oh!" Dungeon Walker left a surprised look before backing off.
The dragon\'s essence courses through his veins.
His body convulses as scales burst forth, enveloping his skin in iridescent armour. With every breath, his lungs swell, his fingers elongate into talon-like claws, and his wings unfurl from his ba---
"BOOM"
Amir, who was in the midst of becoming the Dragon Form, suddenly crashed to the ground.
"arrhh"
His mind was momentarily clouded, leaving him disoriented and swaying like a drunk man.
He tried to regain his bearings, but before he could, Dungeon Walker pounced, stepping onto Amir\'s head with a malicious grin.
"Do you think I was waiting for you willingly?" Dungeon Walker taunted, its voice taking on an eerie tone. It exerted pressure on Amir, crushing his head beneath its foot.
With a mocking tone, Dungeon Walker continued,
"Even if you change into Lizard, you only delay the inevitable...
Because I\'m more powerful than you sane monsters".
"ggrrrr" Amir\'s growls of frustration and pain were all he could muster in response.
He screamed inwardly, \'Damn you, System, why are you not answering me? and what\'s wrong with these Mission?\' as he glanced at the mission that appeared when he saw this damn Dungeon Walker,
[
Mission: Defeat The H#####.
Rewards: Perfect Domain Realm.

[Am-mi-r R-ru----] The Mechanical voice cut off.
Amir\'s frustration and anger swelled as he continued to endure the pain and humiliation. Blood dribbled from his mouth, and his eyes burned with defiance.
"DAMN!" he cursed vehemently, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He glared at the menacing monster before him, his thoughts a whirlwind of rage, \'Damn it, damn it... DAMN!\' he roared inwardly.
\'I AM THE FUCKING DRAGON EMPEROR!!!!! WHY AM I BEING TREATED A BUG!!!!" Amir\'s mind screamed with fury.
Memories of his past resurfaced, it was the same as before regression, \'EVERYONE LOOKING DOWN ON ME!!\'
"Hey, I ask you.one.last.time....Go.Before.I.change.my.mind" The Monster pressed its leg on his head, its deadly tone demanding his retreat.
\'arrrhh\' Amir\'s head throbbed, and he could feel it being crushed.
Just as Dungeon Walker was about to press down harder, it felt something strike its back,
\'Thud\'
The monster shifted its attention, looking behind, where it saw a large rock and several smaller objects flying toward it.
Ignoring the threat, Dungeon Walker attempted to shrug off the attack, only to be caught off guard as it suddenly jumped to the side.
\'crash\'
\'BOOM\'
The large boulder struck the wall and exploded with tremendous force.
\'Tsk, I forgot about that Fairy\' Dungeon Walker clicked its tongue in annoyance before turning its attention back to the group.
Tiana extended her arms, calling upon her power,
/Moon Eruption/
A vibrant blue light emanated from her tiny hands, enveloping the hovering boulders.
Marie, standing beside Tiana, moved her fingers in a rhythmic pattern, chanting her spell.
/Earth, heed my call, shape and bend to my will/
The ground around her trembled and quaked as a massive block of rocks and stone emerged from the ground.
And....I, who stood behind them, also readied my spell.
/Entangle/
Roots rapidly snaked around my legs and spread throughout the chamber, awaiting my command.
My lips curved upward when I saw it avoid taking an attack from Tiana\'s power.
\'I guess, there is not much difference between Holy Power and Fairy\'s Power....both are born to destroy the Dark\' I muttered inwardly as my eyes lit up with the thought that we could defeat this monster.
Glancing at Marie, I couldn\'t help but shake my head, \'Damn, they are calling me, \'A Cruel Puppeteer\', When someone already has it....I guess, I understand now, why Alexander either wants to have her or.....Kill her.
She\'s far too dangerous to leave unchecked\' I pondered whether Alexander was already aware of her power and seduced her or he was just fucking around.
"Hmm, A Fairy who can harness the Pure form of Nature\'s Wrath, An Elf who was blessed by Forest\'s....No, World Tree and You are using Psych----"
Before Dungeon Walker could finish its sentence, a blinding flash occurred behind it.
"arrrrhhh"
The monster growled in pain and quickly moved away.
Its attention was drawn to a particular green-haired boy who clung to his swords, moving unsteadily with closed eyes...like a puppet attached to strings.
"A Puppeteer" Dungeon Walker muttered in furious.
"Hehe..." Marie couldn\'t help but let out a mischievous chuckle.
I glanced at the girl who was struggling to control Kayden.
\'Let\'s finish this quickly\' I thought with an enthusiastic smile, preparing to call Amir and Theodare.
"Amir, Theoda---" But,
"I wish you a peaceful death" Amir suddenly said and broke two golden beads.
The glitters sparkled around Amir and Theodare, and...they disappeared.
"""Huh?""" All three of us wore dumbfounded expressions.
"Oh, another strange powerful Artifact...hmm, I guess, your people must have reached the pinnacle of your knowledge" Dungeon Walker mused, acknowledging the power of the artifacts Amir and Theodare had used, \'Powerful enough to overcome my space cutter...hmm, it\'s getting interesting\'.
\'B-Bastards!!!!\' I screamed inwardly with bloodshot eyes, cursing our lost opportunity.
\'Here I was thinking they won\'t run off, hurting their pride\' I thought, my red eyes glaring at the place where Amir and Theodare had disappeared.
"A-Alysia" Marie called me with a strained face.
Snapping out of anger,
\'I guess, controlling even an unconscious human is difficult for her current state\' I thought and wondered what course of action should I take now.
"Keep firing" I ordered my team members, contemplating a way out of this trouble.
Golden beads only work on Transcendents Only so....
\'arrrrhhh\' My mind aching to find the answer to this predicament.
\'As for Tiana she won\'t because she believes, \'Death is a part of our life, and when the time comes, we shall return to our Mother\'.....urghh...fuck it\' I screamed.
While they were firing at Dungeon Walker, I carefully extended my roots to trip the Monster, but it managed to maintain its balance.
"Ms. A-Alysia?" Marie called me.
"Hmm?"
I looked at Marie, her face contorted in pain, her finger bleeding.
"Kayden is waking up" Marie\'s voice started to falter.
"It\'s good, we need his Holy Power--"
But just as I finished speaking, a loud cry erupted in front of me.
"aaarrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
"M-Marie??"
All I saw was Marie\'s arms being torn off involuntarily...My eyes automatically focused on Kayden, who had finally regained consciousness and was forcibly tearing apart the invisible threads that had controlled him.
"You Bitches!! How dare you control me!!!" He shouted in anger.
And just as I was about to help Marie,
"You lost your supporter Elf" Dungeon Walker appeared in front of us in a split second. It smacked Marie, sending her flying into the wall....her leg torn off.
\'Thud\'
She fell on the ground, motionlessly.
But the horror didn\'t stop there.
Dungeon Walker next punched me in the gut, sending me sprawling backwards before slamming into the wall.
"AALLYYYSSSIIIIAAA!!!"
"N-No T-Tiana run a-away" I muttered, blood flowing from my head, making it hard to think as my mind went blank for a moment.
"Oh, little" Dungeon Walker said amusingly as it caught Tiana with just two fingers like a butterfly.
"Y-Y-You!!"
Tiana struggled to move as Dungeon Walker used its index and thumb fingers to crush her....slowly.
"N-No!! -cough-cough-" I forcibly moved my body and called upon my power,
/Sylvan Strike/
A massive wooden stake formed behind me and shot toward the monster.
\'showsh\'
"Kayden, cut his hands!" I shouted.
"...." There was no reply. I looked in the direction where Kayden stood, but now.....only two of his legs remained.
Wh-When did the monster....?
As if it were reading my mind, Dungeon Walker answered in an amusing tone while easily dodging my attack,
"He already left using the Dimension Rift.
Tsk, tsk, I wanted to kill him but he was faster than I expected in escaping truly....\'A Hero\' and never thought a Hero could use Space Element...
Truly unfortunate...for you!" The Dungeon Walker\'s voice slowly turned sinister.
".....Thank you for the food" it said as it swallowed Tiana like a fish.
"NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
