12 Consequences

I crawl away from the prison cells after I had chosen my decision on what to do with the dying knight who begged me to kill him. It was something that would stay with me forever. I still had a hard time processing what I had just done. So, for now, I forget about it and follow my squad out this hellhole of a hideout. I still wondered why a knight would ask a tentacle monster to end his misery? Nevermind...what I did was already done. The past is the past.

As I take a closer look around the hideout I spot a rather familiar marble building structure poking out from the ceiling of the cave. Mana crystals stuck around the edges of the marble structure. The Romanesque of angels and gods rasing up their battle weapons on the marble structure was a great indicator of what building it was. This had to be the lower section of the pantheon I first saw when I was reborn.

So this bloody hideout was under the pantheon the whole time? A network of goblins tunnels, a brick fortress filled with slaves, and a small army of beast ruled by an unknown higher power existed under this dungeon. It begs the question, what if there are more dungeon hideouts? And how powerful was the one who had created this hideout and lead the orcs, goblins, and other beasts to enslave elves and humans? I stare at the dead ghoulish slaves who I had put out of their misery.

It boggles my mind on how such horrible acts were performed without anyone to help these slaves. There was no one to save these slaves. No one but me. A human who was reborn as a tentacle monster.

"Ssssssss" Hisses a kobold dragon as it runs over my way with a spike baton raised up in its hands in a striking position.

I don't have time for this. I swiftly wrap around my tentacles on its scaly neck, arms, and legs then I absorb its whole body inside of my suction cups.

[Kobold Dragon Evolution gained!]

"Hurry up Zed, are you going to follow us or not?" Says Sira as she goes into a tunnel ahead of me with Healer Maiden who carried her injured teammate in her hands.

I discard the kobolds boney remains and went to follow my squad.

In the distance, I sensed a powerful presence. A strong force was calling to me. It beckons me to come its way. The aura was alluring. This force was coming from one of the three tunnels ahead. Sira, Healer Maiden, and Parisa took the far left tunnel. The powerful presence came from either the right tunnel or the middle tunnel.

Sira turns to face me, "Zed what are you doing? We don't have time to-"

"OH!OH!AW!Rowarrrrrgggggh!" An apish roar thunders across the hollow middle cave tunnels.

"By the gods, it's a Frost Yeti. Everyone be quiet and stay low to the ground." Sira instructs as she kneels down.

"What do we do Zed? Should we attack?" Says Healer Maiden as she dearly holds her injured elven friend like a baby.

"You guys escape and take another tunnel. I will hold back the Yeti." I bravely said as I crawl over to my squad.

"No, I won't leave you behind Zed. You are gravely injured. There is no way I will let you fight alone." Interjects Healer Maiden with worry in her violet eyes.

" Don't worry about me. I can handle this by myself. Just get your friends to a safe place." I charge up and arrange my skills for combat.

Healer Maiden nods and runs off with Parisa in her hands. Sira follows her as well. All three of them blitz out of the cave tunnel they were in and went over to the tunnel on the right side.

Sira passes by me and coldly stares me downs, "Don't ya die," Her face for the first time showed a bit of care for me.

The girls all disappeared in the darkness of the tunnel, none of them dare turned back to face the yeti.

I now focus on the matter at hand. With my mana almost drained to the core I only had enough to use one or two tentacle clone summonings. I try to devise a plan in order to take down the yeti, but nothing came to mind. After all, that had happened and all the fucked up things I've done my brain was dead. So I decided I would just go with the flow.

I go over to a pile of dead goblins and tear off one of the goblins legs straight out from its socket. I then skin the leg only leaving bone. I hit the boney leg against a nearby rock making a sound wave that vibrated throughout the tunnel caves. I keep on hitting the rock with the goblin bone until I hear, "Roawrrrrgggggh!" The yeti stomps over to my direction.

I was smacking the boney leg against rocks in order to get the yetis attention and to attract it towards me by making as much noise as possible.

A gorilla humanoid beast with snow-white fur and bluish skin thrust and stomps out of the left side tunnel rumbling the ground below me. The beast was searching for who was making such a tumult noise.

Nice, at least I get to see my stats before I freeze to death. My mind goes completely blank and I stare endlessly at the icy cavern walls. Cryostasis overtakes me.
