"LET GO!!!"
Kai struggled desperately, but the more he thrashed, the tighter the tentacles squeezed.
Especially the one wrapped around his balls—he could regenerate his body, but that didn't mean he enjoyed pain.
Especially not **there**, in that crucially important spot!
"Where the hell are you taking me?!"
Gradually he realized the thing was leading him to quite a spacious area.
Notably, up above there was a stone throne just big enough for one person to sit on.
'Come on… I don't want to become a sex toy…' Kai was on the verge of tears.
He thought of his little sisters and felt that—if this thing would spare them and only kidnap him—that was actually a good thing. At least they would survive without being tortured.
After a while, it shoved him against the wall, and the tentacles pinned him tightly to it.
'But… my anal virginity…'
The more he thought about it, the more painfully he bit his lip.
Being toyed with by this thing, fucked in every position imaginable… that would truly be horrifying. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to endure those tentacles.
Dear god, what did I do??
And… why me? Seriously.
What's the reason it targeted me? Was it just because I was the closest one? Or does it prefer guys?
Or maybe… there's some deeper reason?
After that, the creature rummaged around somewhere and pulled out a small chest.
"…?"
He felt a chill when he saw that hand-sized little chest. A terrifying aura of calamity was emanating from it.
Then the thing looked at him and gave a creepy smile—even though it had no face.
"…phew, so it's not turning me into a sex toy after all. Thank fuck," Kai sighed in relief, which seemed to confuse it.
Apparently it had been expecting Kai to look terrified or something. Too bad Kai was way more worried about his ass than about his life.
It seemed unhappy with his expression, so it started to open the chest.
Instantly, all of Kai's Gears began vibrating violently.
"Huh?"
That chest was trying to suck away his Gears!!!
Motherf—! So that's the reason! Of course—he was fully equipped with Gears on his body!
Slowly, one by one, his Gears flew into the chest, leaving him completely naked, not a shred of clothing.
It grinned at Kai, then looked down at his cock, covering its "mouth" as if it couldn't believe how big and impressive it was.
"What are you staring at?! Give me back my Hello Kitty underwear right now!"
Then it noticed one item that still hadn't been sucked in.
The snake earring on his right ear.
So it brought the chest closer and sucked with full power.
Yet the earring refused to budge—as if it were completely fused with Kai.
Enraged, it cranked the chest to maximum power.
The tentacles instantly tore apart, and Kai's head was sucked straight toward the chest.
"Huh?"
"?"
Both of them shared the exact same stunned feeling.
And then his entire body was yanked inside the chest.
"…"
The creature stood frozen, staring at the now-closed chest as if it was showing it had become "full".
Its "face" immediately twisted in extreme fury.
This chest devours Gears, and once it's full, it creates whatever the user desires.
The problem? It prioritizes the person who is "closest" to it—and when Kai got pulled inside, he became closer to it than anyone could possibly be.
After raging for a bit, it calmed down. After all, the inside of that chest was extremely dangerous—it contained every kind of calamity imaginable.
There was no way Kai could survive in there.
Because this chest… was Pandora's Box.
BOOM…
It heard something, then turned around.
Snap!
A bolt of lightning shot straight at it, hitting dead-on and causing excruciating pain.
Then a barrage of lightning bolts followed, one after another, without pause.
It tried to dodge, but lightning was insanely fast—it still took heavy damage.
Slowly it turned toward its attacker.
A blond young man radiating incredibly powerful electricity, wearing a sleek mage outfit.
"What did you do to Kai?"
Baron's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Blue sparks continuously jumped between his two fingers, his blue eyes glowing brightly.
A tough opponent—that was what the creature thought about Baron.
"You'd better start speaking human language, because I will definitely turn you into a pile of charcoal if you don't tell me."
Then he brought both hands close together.
"And even if you do talk, it still won't change the fact that I'm going to murder you."
Both hands slammed onto the ground.
Instantly, electricity surged outward in every direction.
The entire area exploded.
The creature moved with the flexibility of its tentacles, stabbing one straight toward him.
And shockingly—the tentacle pierced right through Baron's body… with zero effect.
Right now… Baron was untouchable!
…assuming he had enough mana.
Baron raised his hand. Floating lightning orbs appeared in the air around him.
"I just created a new technique. Might as well test it on you."
More and more electric orbs gathered, lighting up the entire place.
Then he snapped his fingers.
All the orbs fired lightning like guided turrets—straight at the creature.
Thanks to its natural conductivity, Baron had now turned the whole area into an aimbot.
The creature couldn't dodge; the more it moved, the more it got hit. The orbs would detonate on contact with its zone.
Surprisingly, this skill of Baron's was only ranked A.
The situation was clearly in Baron's favor. If he kept this up, it would end soon.
The problem was…
'It's been tanking my attacks this whole time…' Baron thought, watching it stand still and take the hits.
A few seconds later, it inched closer to him.
A few dozen seconds later, it started walking toward him—still being electrocuted.
"Tch, you're no different from those other monsters, huh? You have adaptive ability just like them!"
Gradually, it charged at high speed.
Baron decided to finish this as fast as possible. If it lived even a little longer, it might become completely immune to his lightning!
His hand glowed blue-white.
"RAIGEKI!"
Half his mana vanished in an instant.
His hand unleashed a massive barrage of lightning spears in every direction.
Then they all converged on the creature like homing missiles.
It took the full brunt. Its stomach was torn open by the Raigeki.
But one tentacle still managed to strike Baron in time.
SLASH!
Baron was shocked—a large gash had opened near his left armpit, blood flowing.
"How did—"
Then he stared wide-eyed at the tentacle.
Rubber.
An excellent insulator against electricity.
"Fuck, you actually learned to counter electricity this way?! That adaptation ability is terrifying."
Baron instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and vanished.
The creature looked at its regenerating stomach, then turned around—Baron was standing there, completely unharmed.
His clothes were torn, but the wound was gone.
"Hey, what are you just standing there staring for?"
Baron glanced toward one corner of a passageway. Slowly, several figures emerged.
It was Irelia, Vakoth, and Abaric.
"You were fighting pretty intensely—honestly stronger than any of us. I was scared I'd get zapped by your lightning too, Baron," Abaric said, raising both hands in mock surrender.
"Stop talking and help me deal with this thing so I can go save Kai," Baron growled threateningly.
"Don't worry, I was planning to do exactly that. After all—this thing is the Boss of this Dungeon," Irelia cracked her knuckles, cold air radiating from her.
4 vs 1. It's about to begin!
