Chapter 41: Mystery Box
Randy entered another broken building, one floor building. This place used to be a restaurant? or pub? Randy looked carefully at the detail.
Many set table and chair decayed, about 7 seven set tables, also there were seven closed doors. 2 doors on his right, 2 on the front: one behind the counter another door was twice in size than the others, and 3 doors on his left.
He walked slowly, less there was a monster inside the room he didn't want to alarm it. Even though he could kill easily the Demon Kolor Ijo but a sneak attack was more easy to kill the Demon Kolor Ijo and less risk.
He walked to the first door on his right and pulled out his sword from its sheath, then he opened the door slowly. No monster inside, only a decayed table, and a broken couch. Maybe he was right, this was a restaurant in the past. Afterward, He headed the next door, also empty.
Later he checked the 3 rooms on his left side, also empty. Just when he exited the last door on his left side, he heard the sound of footsteps from inside the twice size door.
He approached the door slowly, in front of the door the sound of footsteps became louder. Randy held the sword and waiting the monster went out and did his sneak attack.
5 minutes later the monster still did not go out but the sound of footsteps didn't stop. 10 minutes later, still the monster didn't go out. Based on the sound of footsteps, there were about 2 monsters inside.
"Should I enter the room?" An idea popped out in his mind.
"Just wait for 5 minutes more, if the still monster still not go out from the inside room then I will going inside," Randy decided in his heart.
5 minutes later the monster still inside and the sound of footsteps still could be heard in his ears. He could not wait for the monster to go out if the monsters didn't go out till late afternoon, impossible for him to keep waiting.
He took a deep breath, opened the door slowly and tilted his head to taking look inside the room. He swallowed his saliva after he saw inside the room. The monsters also noticed him and the monsters inside was 5, not 2.
This room was a kitchen and two monsters walked way back and forth, he didn't why this both monsters do this and three monsters lie down on the kitchen counter. They looked at him when he tilted his head.
The monster immediately took their weapon after saw the intruder and rushed toward the intruder, Randy.
Randy became nervous, most he only fought against two Demon Kolor Ijo at past in the past yet this time there were five Demon Kolor Ijo. He immediately ran to outside because inside was to narrow to fighting against five at once.
The five Demon Kolor Ijo chased after Randy bringing their weapon. Of course with his stat now, his speed faster than this 5 monsters. Outside, he waiting for the monsters at the entrance door, he wanted to kill one of the monsters with a sneak attack.
Not long after, the 5 monster exited through the entrance door, Randy immediately swung his sword to its head, one down. The other monster shocked, one of them died so suddenly.
Randy attacked another monster again when they were shocked, two down. Finally, one of the monsters reacted after he killed the second monster, it aimed its bat to Randy. Randy raised up his sword, blocked the bat, but another monster hit him on the back.
He fell, but the monster attack didn't stop, another monster held one of his feet and thrown him. The monster threw Randy to inside the building.
Randy stood up again, thanks for the training he did this two days with Zhen Yi, the pain was nothing compared when Zhen Yi hit him. Luckily the monster only threw him, he could be freed from the besieged too.
The monster already in the front him when he gained his footing, three bats aimed at him. He raised his sword to block the attack, even though he has high strength now but he could not hold the three attack at once from the three Demon Kolor Ijo.
He raised his foot, kicked one of the monsters and freed himself by stepped to the right side before he stabbed one of the monster head and kick the another one, while the monster he kicked at first was flying back 4 meters back.
Randy didn't stop here, he immediately rushed toward the monster he kicked at first. The monster already stood up, it saw Randy rushed toward him and it immediately swung its bat to Randy. Randy easily evaded the attack by bend down his body then stabbed its chest until the sword penetrated to the back its body.
With his fast speed, he pulled the sword from the body of the monster and rushed toward another monster without checking this monster, died or still alive. The monster that kicked by him just stood up but still staggering. He took this chance to slashed his sword to the neck.
The monster kneeling on the ground, clutching its neck after getting slashed by Randy sword while Randy didn't stop his attack, he stabbed the monster forehead. The monster died instantly, aimed his attack on monster head became Randy habit since he was hunting the Demonic Rabbit.
Fyuuhhh
Randy let out a cold breath. "GROAARRR GROAAARRR..." Randy suddenly heard a scream from a monster. He looked back and saw the monster he stabbed at the chest still alive and screamed yet he still lie down on the ground, struggling to stand up.
Randy walked slowly to the monster and stabbed the monster head. Afterward, He sat down on the ground, adjust his breath. He was so nervous when he fought against five Demon Kolor Ijo, but look like the monster didn't let him adjust his breath because he heard screaming from many monsters from the building near him.
He immediately ran back to the two floors house in the opposite this restaurant that he entered early. He didn't stay on the first floor and rushed toward the second floor so he could see the situation outside through the window.
Outside he saw many Demon Kolor Ijo rushed toward the restaurant. At first, only eight Demon Kolor Ijo came to the restaurant but later more and more Demon Kolor Ijo came. Randy counting the Demon Kolor Ijo, after finished counting the monster, he swallowed his saliva.
At first 3 minutes only eight monsters. 5 minutes later ten more coming, 10 minutes later thirty monsters coming. Fortunately, he immediately ran back to here, if not...
Randy body shivering when he imagined it. He shook his head, dispelled his imagination and took a rest while waiting for the monster outside disperse.
20 minutes later, the monster starting to disperse. This place so dangerous, Demon Kolor Ijo should be killed instantly, so the monster could not scream. If he let the monster screamed, more Demon Kolor Ijo would come, it would be dangerous for him.
He should check from the smallest building before going to check the big building. Maybe in the small building only one or two monsters, if so he could them instantly.
He took a deep breath before walking out of this two floors house. He decided not to go deeper, he chose to check the house on the outer perimeter of the ruined city.
...
The sky getting dark, Randy looked at the sky. He just went out from the north gate the ruined city. He explored the small broken building in the outer perimeter of the ruined city, from the east to the north.
He managed to level up, didn't know how many the Demon Kolor Ijo he killed. Usually, he could count the beast he killed because the carcasses stored in the System Storage, but he could not take anything from Demon Kolor Ijo, only weapon. Yet, most of them used bat so he didn't take it, he only took a weapon like Ax, sword, hammer etc.
He checked the stat window for the next level up. 7,075/409,600 Exp shown in his window stat, he needed 400k Exp to next level up, afterward, he walked back to Jakarta city.
Arrived at Teleportation Site at Jakarta city, he didn't see Zhen Yi so he just stood up in the front of Monument, waiting for her. 5 minutes later Zhen Yi appeared, they went back together.
...
Meanwhile, in the Forum East City, Auction House post another announcement about the last item for the monthly auction which was held 3 days later.
"Mystery Box Item Already Have Been Determined, The Mystery Box Would Be Auctioned For The Last Item,"
People didn't respond like the Legendary weapon, not intense like before because they didn't know the item.
~Mystery Box? What is it? Is not the Legendary weapon for the Main and Last item?
~Mystery Box? Interesting. I think I would buy a ticket to join the fun.
~Maybe the item inside the box is better than a Legendary weapon? because it is the last item for the auction.
~Possible.
~I am curious about the item inside the box? maybe it's a weapon higher grade than Legendary grade?
~Impossible. The legendary grade is the highest grade. Maybe it's the rarest ore or maybe rarest ore.
Most of them discussed the item Mystery Box but no guild fight over that Mystery Box like the Legendary weapon.
Randy kept read the comment while waiting for dinner.
"Mystery Box? It's my [Black Wildcat Essence Bloodline], Right?" Randy guessed in his mind.
"Hey, it's time for dinner, stop read the forum," Randy heard Zhen Yi voice in his ears.
"Oh!?" He closed the forum. At the table, the food has already been served.
"What you read in the forum?" Zhen Yi whispered to his ears.
"Post from the Auction House, Mystery Box. What do you think the item inside Mystery Box?" Randy answered and asked Zhen Yi at once.
"Maybe your [Black Wildcat Essence Blood]," Zhen Yi answered casually.
Randy nodded his head, afterward they start their dinner.
