"NEVER AGAIN!" [Charlotte]

"I wholeheartedly agree with you" [Diana]

"Muse, they're there no more" [Rean]

"Don't let go of me my dearest husband" [Muse]

(Somehow, I can imagine Muse not even bothering about it and just use the opportunity to cling harder to Rean) [Ash]

With Farhah keep begging for forgiveness as she fail to detect the numerous giant leeches and centipedes of various species crawling inside the ancient tunnel that we were using, the girls (and boys of course) still get the feeling that those slimy crawly monsters creeping through our skins. It helps that we were inside the sturdy camper van golem at that time, and as such, we can just ram through most of the monsters with it, and that's exactly where the problem started

You see, if it is one, or maybe ten, it wouldn't really be much of a problem to the camper van golem, but hundred upon thousands of those, keep getting ram by camper van golem, and the problem starts. The tyres started to become slippery, with the mirror start getting dirty by all those slime mucous with centipedes legs stick to it, and not to mention all the bloods and viscera flying around, with the pungent smells that causes the beastmen group start having serious nausea. Plus, with each kill, they release like some sort of pheromone I suppose, that attracts their own kind, signalling please, revenge our deaths.

"Fresh air... Fresh air" [Singa]

"It still stinks..." [Elise]

"You guys rest first, we will clean the camper van golem" [Karon]

"Appreciate it" [Sachmis]

"I don't think we can even approach the camper van golem" [Savel]

"I'll just use my water magic from a far to help" [Charlotte]

And thus, we started to clean the camper van golem. We exit through a random tunnel and end up just shy away from top of a hill. Like the name, mountain dungeon alpha comprises of multiple hills and mountains stretching far and wide. Since we are not on a very tall hill, oxygen wouldn't be an issue, and even if it become an issue, those with wind magic (me myself, Rean, Kara, Mara, Lara, Nara and Singa) can just supply some oxygen using our magic

"This spot here is a bit hard to wipe" [Zerolith]

"Indeed. I should use earth spell to clean it out" [Karon]

"Just make sure the exterior is clean, and I'll start cleaning the inside once it is done" [Aries]

"Yes!" [Ash]

Rean, Zerolith, Karon and I (with Charlotte pouring her water magic from a far) work hard on cleaning the exterior, and once all four of us achieve a satisfactory results, Aries, Qis and Farhah start filling the cabin with some sort of natural perfume. With the high altitude that we will traversing through, I think it will not be an issue should they put extra flower or two since our sense of smell will be affected

"Hmm..." [Lara]

"It's there isn't it" [Nara]

"Do you detect something?" [Linda]

"Don't tell me it's the homunculus?" [Mara]

Lara and Nara simply node

"Bet they're using the natives of Mountain Nation" [Alaric]

"That will put us in a difficult situation" [Kara]

"Meow" [Behe]

"They're coming?" [Qis]

"My scan magic say otherwise, they're cautious but that mean..." [Ash]

"They're already aware of us" [Savel]

"I hope they are beastman among them, that way we can just show this emblem from King Leogris, but..." [Singa]

"I don't think it will work out that easily" [Farhah]

"Plus, they're doppelganger, so I don't think they care that much" [Charlotte]

"And with how they're having the terrain advantages, we are in deep trouble" [Muse]

"Proceed carefully and deliberately, all of you" [Diana]

"Roger" [All]

And thus, after the short break, all of us (minus Zerolith, Farhah and I) went back inside. The three of us can fight at long range, and so does few others but for now, we decided to get in the roof, get in some fresh air of the mountain and start scanning with our power

"There's hardly any plant at high altitude, although if there are, they're quite unique" [Farhah]

"Yeah, never saw some of them before" [Zerolith]

"It will start getting cold, and the oxygen saturation will drop, so whatever happen, cling to the camper van golem like your life depends on it, got it?" [Ash]

""Right"" [Zerolith, Farhah]

I can tell that those inside already activated their magic, couple with the self adjusting autonomous magic core of the camper van golem, they're comfortable inside. The magic core of the camper van golem even went as far as comforting us on the roof, which is nice

"Is this high enough?" [Karon]

"I think it is" [Kara]

"Let start calling them and see whether we can get through anyone" [Elise]

"Based on the principles, doubt it will happen" [Diana]

"But if somehow we can get a signal, then we should take full advantage of it" [Muse]

Based on the maps of Achalasia (a cube like world with countries interconnected with dungeons), we should be able to get signal around here as right above us is somewhere on the Ice Dungeon. Just when all of us are about to give up

"I got a signal! From Serpie!" [Charlotte]

"""Really!!!""" [Ash, Zerolith, Farhah]

The three of us couldn't help but to shout.

(I see... Basically, since Serpie is a kind of golem made by Charlotte and I, it would make sense for her to be able to get some sort of signal) [Ash]

Charlotte quickly update Serpie (the sea serpent magic core),

"I'll relay it to the other through multiple Housey and Calypso Tree" [Serpie]

"That's good, any updates on Estel?" [Charlotte]

"I detected some sort of barrier that try to prevent any outsider from..." [Serpie]

And the line disconnected... That's worrying

"I wonder what will happen to Estel" [Farhah]

We can't help but to feel worry as well. Just as Karon about to start the engine

"Wood magic: Wood arrow" [Farhah]

"Sniper of dark abyss" [Zerolith]

"Thunder spear" [Ash]

We detected an armies of sort approaching us
