Chapter 65. Angler fish.

  Shila wakes up later as she finds Jamine still sleeping beside her and Hilda reading a book, something she does only when she is doing something she finds very boring but important

  Shila watches as Hilda is oddly in grossed in the book and decides to annoy her by jumping at her, intending to knock the book out of her arms.

  Shila jumps at Hilda, watching as Hilda doesn’t react before suddenly opening her arms and catching Shila, holding the book with a hand and Shila in her other arm like luggage.

  “The 33rd floor is available?” Shila said, hoping that the information would be sufficient to get Hilda to free her.

  “Yea, no, we aren’t going anywhere until after Jamine is awake anyways so you're stuck here, “Hilda said as she continues to flip through her book, holding Shila as she struggles, attempting to escape but to no avail.

  “Mom? What are you doing?” Jamine said while standing in the doorway as Hilda and Shila both turn their attention to her immediately.

  “Shila, what are you doing there? The one on the bed was a clone?” Hilda asks and Shila aslo looks confused, looking at the Jamine asleep on the bed and the on standing at the door way.

  “Yea!” Jamine shouts, glancing over at Shila who is reaching her arms out for help.

  “Oh, ok, umm.. I guess we can go now?“ Hilda said, dropping Shila who manages to catch herself, her movement experienced from al the times shes been dropped before.

  Hilda looks over at Shila who is clearly annoyed and manually teleports herself and Jamine to the 32nd floor as she reads the notification which mentions the clear requirements this time.

  Notification.

  Collect crops/livestock 564309/10000

  “Oh,” Hilda said before teleporting to the 33rd floor where she finds Shila there, crossing her arms annoyed and herself in a room so dark she would’ve thought her sight was removed if not for the fact that Shila is partially luminescent.

  Notification.

  Escape to the 34th floor.from floor 33th’s maze.

  Hilda and Jamine both stare at her for a moment before speaking at the same time, “Flashlight.”

  Shila continues crossing her arms silently.

  “Hey, are you going to follow?” Hilda asks, trying to pull Shila along as she refuses to move.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  “Alrighty then, I’ll just go first?” Hilda said as she started walking, slowly walking away and glancing back every few moments as she walked into a wall causing Shila to smirk.

  “Nice,” Shila said as she walks past Hilda, buying a flashlight from the shop and throwing it at Hilda who dodges with sixth sense barely.

  Hilda slowly starts walking around as she find the place to be made of stone, it’s passages small moss or some plant similar to moss covering a decent amount of the surfaces.

  After a bit more of looking, Hilda notices a weird glowing bulb but runs in a straight line to it, figuring that it’s better than the darkness surrounding her.

  “Hey Jamine,” Shila said as she pulled Jamine’s collar, not letting her follow Hilda while smiling oddly mischievously and ominously.

  “Hey sis…?”Jamine answered, confused at what Shila would want suddenly.

  “Have you ever heard of something called an angler fish?” Shila asks as Jamine gets even more confused, “Yea? Are we fishing?”

  “Nope, but an angler fish attracts prey with it’s light, the prey in this situation being your other,” Shila said as Jamine thinks for a moment before turning to call Hilda before being stopped by Hilda's shouting.

  “Time to run,” Shila drags Jamine for a moment before she starts running too, glancing back to find Hilda running for dear life, an 8ft tall man with no facial features but an eerily big mouth with man teeth and a long tongue, it’s hands made of flesh and organs with a glowing head.

  “HELP!!!” Hilda shouts, wanting Shila to debuff it or to leech it as Shila ignores her while stopping JAmine from helping too.

  “Mom! Run!” Jamine shouts out as Shila suddenly bumps into something and falls backwards before looking up and finding a monster with a very thin body which form a web-like structure as it tries to spit acid using it’s hundreds if not thousands of heads, all attached to its web-like body at Shila who reacts quickly by using Jamine as a meat shield.

  “Hey!” Jamine shouts out angrily, ‘What?Your resistant to acid and even absorbed it, what’s the problem?” Shila asks as Jamine gets more annoyed,”It's disgusting!”

  Hilda finally catches up as they get surrounded with Hilda panicking and trying to swing her sword the humanoid monster with mana, sword qi and everything at her disposal as a splash of water suddenly sends it flying as White appears, quickly pulling Hilda, Jamine and Shila into puddle of water as he moves them all away , making Hilda dizzy due to having never moved so quickly and around so many corners at once before.

  White eventually stops, at 4 way intersection before pushing everybody out, including his system and creating water shields all around.

  “So black, didn’t know you would get so scared huh?” White said as he starts to turn back to look at Hilda who is in a daze from the situation and her dizziness, much worse than Shila and Jamine with Shila only partially affected and Jamine not even being able to get dizzy.

  White removes Hilda’s mask as Hilda immediately uses mental magic on his head, giving him a very painful headache, preparing to use conversion magic to turn his head into nothing.

  “Calm down okay? It’s not like we haven't seen your face before,” White said while passing over the mask back along with a bottle, “But when your whole body changes from guy to girl, it still looks so weird.”

  Hilda takes the le and mask as she glances at him, “That’s medicine to help with the dizziness, I tried my movement skill on red before, she got very dizzy too, almost as bad as you,” White said as Hilda considers it for a moment before drinking it due to feeling like vomiting.

  Hilda finishes it in one go as the dizziness goes away, leaving her oddly exhausted as her body slumps against the wall and closing her eyes for a moment to calm down

  As she opens her eyes, she finds another monster as she gets scared and instinctively swings her sword at it as the face suddenly moves to the sideth hilda’s eyes following, finding it to be a ace attached to a stick White is holding.

  “Wow, ou really got scared huh?“ White said as Hilda gets annoyed and puts her mask back on, “Tell anybody and I swear…” Hilda said, her breathing calming down.”

  “I don’t think that’s our priority currently,” White said as he turned to a passage where Hilda notices sound coming from, getting closer at a rapid rate.

  ”Nope,” Hilda said while hiding behind White quickly.
