--- Section IV, Abandoned Mines ---

"How should we explore this section... its just..." Annie complained since the moment she and Nuggets entered Section IV, after walking a short distance, they found themselves in a place that branched out into 9 different smaller areas.

"If I'm not wrong, I am guessing this place is where most of the mining operations went down." Annie said to herself before randomly picking on of the smaller areas.

...

Cave I, Section IV

This area was just as Annie expected it to be. There were plenty of different ores and stones yet to be mined and a lot of mining equipment was scattered around. And occasionally, there were also ratmen bones. And of course, Azurite Crystals.

"Nuggets, why don't you explore the whole area first while I pick up these blue pebbles?" Annie said as she picked up the Azurite Crystals scattered around.

Bawk Bawk!!! ("Yes Ma'am!") Of course, Annie did not really understand what she said, so Nuggets just started running all over the place while looking around.

...

After a few minutes later, Nuggets noticed that the area branched out again into three different areas.

"This is so annoying!" Nuggets complained. But before she could even check out where these three different caves led, worm-like creatures came out from them.

The worm-like creatures' head had 6 black eyes, a large mouth with jagged teeth, and their bodies resembled the one an earthworm had.

~Drip, drip...

The worm-like creatures salivated the moment they saw Nuggets and the saliva that dropped from their mouth corroded the stones it touched.

Of course, being seen as a food supply by these worms, Nuggets was infuriated and decided to kill them off quickly.

BAWK BAWK!!! ("Forked Lightning! Forked Lightning!")

Nuggets just used the same skill over and over again. The poor worms did not even stand a chance or even attacked once before getting killed by Nuggets.

...

After that, when Nuggets explored the three smaller caves those worms came out from, she saw that she was back out at the main area of Section IV and the place she came out of was the area leading the the 9th Cave of section IV.

"The caves are connected? Then this makes it easier!" Nuggets flapped her wings as she thought of this and rushed from cave to cave.

An hour later, she finished exploring the whole section and realized that it was what Annie described it as. Nuggets also fought more of those worms while she explored but was easily killed off.

Since that was the case, Nuggets returned back to the first cave, where Annie was busy collecting Azurite Crystals.

...

"Where is she?" Nuggets asked herself since she ran back and forth but did not saw Annie. Then suddenly...

"Nuggets, over here!"

Nuggets looked around but still did not see Annie. But the moment Nuggets looked above, she saw Annie pulling out a spear stuck on the ceilings of the cave.

Nuggets also saw that besides that spear, hundreds of other kinds of weapons were stuck in the ceilings of the cave. Swords, daggers, sabers, etc.

"Woah! I forgot to check the ceilings of the other caves!" Nuggets thought to herself.

"Nuggets, go back to the entrance and check if anyone is back already. This might take a while, so let us ask for help." Annie said since the two hours that Nuggets spent exploring the whole section, she only managed to pull out three of the weapons.

Bawk Bawk!!! ("Yes Ma'am!")

...

--- Entrance, Abandoned Mines ---

The ones present and was waiting here was Bloody Harvest, Abbie and the golden mouse, Jay, and the five ratmen. The moment Nuggets appeared, she immediately spoke with Jay.

Bawk Bawk Bawk!!! ("Jay! Annie needs help.") Nuggets said as she jumped up and down and used her wings to point at the cave leading to section IV.

"Don't worry master. I think I know what she needs help with!" Joe, one of the ratmen said enthusiastically before he and his fellow ratmen went inside section IV.

"Then I guess the only one left is Roselia. Jay, I'm gonna help her out, see ya!" Bloody Harvest said as he went inside section V.

...

--- Section V, Abandoned Mines ---

~Huff, huff...

Roselia tried catching her breath while she hid behind some large rocks. The reason why was because the moment she entered Section V, she found out that the place was just a very wide and empty cave. Of course, there were some rocks scattered around, some Azurite Crystals, and some minecarts and railroad tracks. There were also stone furnaces near the walls.

But the thing that immediately caught her attention was that in front of her, the steel gate that Jay told them to avoid for now, was opened.

Before Roselia could even take a step further inside the place, a gigantic rat-like monster dropped down from the ceilings.

--------------------------

[Plague King - Lord]

Health: 23,690,000/23,690,000

Monster Description: Was once the leader of the ratmen miners, but now, after a thousand years of getting trapped in this place, he lost his sanity and became some kind of monstrosity.

Physical Appearances: A gigantic rat, almost as tall as a minotaur. Has brown fur and jagged teeth. Has an eyepatch that covers its right eye.

---------------------------

~SKREEEE!!!

The Plague King screeched so loud that the walls of the area started to shake. Dust and small pebbles begin to fall of the ceilings.

"Sh*t. Not good." Roselia thought to herself and suddenly moved back towards the entrance of the mines. But the moment she was about to do that, thousands of smaller rats blocked her. And when she tried blasting her way through using the twin silver pistols she had...

~Splat, splat, splat...

The rats suddenly exploded and a poisonous smoke suddenly filled the air.

'Purity!'

Roselia immediately used this skill to make sure she does not get poisoned. Purity was a Tier 2 skill of Demon Hunters that cleanses the body from any kind of debuffs like poison, fear, curses, etc. It also gives immunity to debuffs for 20 minutes. Purity's duration also increases as the tier of the demon hunter that used it increases. As for Roselia, she was currently a tier 4 Demon Hunter so the Purity skill's immunity effect will last for an hour.

After using this skill, she kept pushing her way through the rats as they kept on exploding into bits and pieces. Just as she was about to escape, the rocks from the ceiling collapsed and blocked her way.

"Damn." Just as she thought her problems won't get any worse, the Plague King was already at her back.

~SKREEEE!!!

The Plague King screeched loudly again and went on all fours before leaping towards Roselia. It opened its mouth, attempting to swallow Roselia whole.

"F*ck off!" Roselia shouted before using another skill.

'Vanish'

After using this skill, she suddenly disappeared from sight. But what really happened was that she just turned invisible and moved out of the attack range of the Plague King. After doing that, Roselia ran back towards the main area of Section V.

Vanish was a tier 4 skill that thieves or assassins use to get out of a sticky situation. Besides being a tier 4 Demon Hunter, Roselia also managed to become a tier 4 Thief.

...

While Roselia was hiding behind some rocks in the main area of Section V and was about to ask for help...

"Roselia!" Bloody Harvest immediately shouted. The reason why was because the moment he entered section V, he saw that the cave passage was blocked by rocks.

Then his guild emblem suddenly vibrated and he heard Roselia asking for help. Of course, not only him, Jay and Abby who was waiting at the entrance of the abandoned mines got the message too and decided to head over section V. Annie also received the message so she asked the ratmen who was helping her to take care of looting the weapons in section IV and she also rushed towards section V.
