Infinite Origin Summoner:Rise of Good for Nothing Extra-Chapter 33: fighting for freedom

"Will be transported..." Brian repeated Zarek’s words with a dazed look in his eyes. He instinctively knew Zarek was not lying, but what he could not understand was why only Zarek was being transported—why not him?

Soon silence enveloped the surroundings. No one spoke.

Seconds stretched to minutes. However, at the ten-minute mark, footsteps resounded from behind.

Zarek didn’t even bother glancing in the direction of the footsteps. He knew who it was. Alexander and White Death moved vigilantly forward. However, if Zarek had spared a glance, he would have been surprised to find Alexander, not White Death, at the front.

Meanwhile, unlike his calm and indifferent appearance, Brian Dreamwalker’s eyes lit up upon seeing the duo, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He immediately called out in an excited voice: "Fellow awakeners, here!" Brian was practically beaming.

Zarek also happened to look at this scene and couldn’t stop himself from rolling his eyes. To others, Brian might be a stranger, but not Zarek. He was familiar with Brian’s behavior to know this guy was probably acting.

After all, considering how cold and ruthless Arthur Dreamwalker was, how could his elder brother be any different?

At this time, Alexander and White Death also noticed Brian and immediately turned vigilant. However, soon they noticed the figure of Zarek and Misery in the distance. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A complicated expression appeared on White Death’s face. The defeat from few moments ago was still clear in her head.

Suddenly a sense of pity rose into her heart for all the people waiting outside the dungeon.

"I can’t, something’s blocking me..."

"Me neither..."

One by one, both Alexander and White Death poked the rift gate with their hands only to be blocked. The scene surprised both of them. After the initial greeting, Brian had immediately asked them to try out the rift.

"You cannot enter as well..." Brian muttered, the smile on his lips growing even more wide.

"It appears this young brother from the Silversword family is truly a gifted individual..."

Maybe it was Brian’s tone or maybe the temperature had fallen sharply, but the chill that Zarek was feeling suddenly intensified.

"What is it, my guy?"

The two new arrivals also seemed to have realized something was wrong.

The final boss was cleared but they still weren’t given the option to move out of the dungeon—something was definitely wrong.

Alexander’s intelligence was still questionable, but White Death wasn’t stupid. In just a few minutes she pieced all the clues and finally had an idea.

Their exit had something to do with the rift in which no one other than Zarek could enter.

Meaning, whether they would ever be able to get out of this dungeon depended on Zarek. If he failed, they would be forever trapped here.

As soon as this thought occurred to her, her beautiful face hidden behind the mask turned ugly.

No, I have to go out. I have yet to find my sister.

The three of them present had their own thoughts, but they knew their fate was now tied to Zarek.

Without even realizing, one side of the hourglass was completely empty.

All three of them looked at Zarek with solemn expressions.

There was no telling what would be at the other side of the rift, but it was bound to be dangerous. This was clear to everyone, especially Brian Dreamwalker. After all, he was the only one who had faced monsters from the other side of the rift.

Several new blue windows appeared in front of Zarek once again:

[The time is up!]

[Teleportation will begin in 6, 5, 4...]

Just as Zarek’s body was about to disappear, suddenly he saw a flash of white in the corner of his vision followed by a voice:

"Take this... it might be of some help to you."

It was Brian who had spoken.

"Huh!" Zarek raised his hand and caught the silver sword that Brian had thrown.

Brian even seemed to have something more to say, but Zarek was not able to listen. His body was completely gone, devoured by the rift.

Meanwhile, in a dark space filled with fog, countless spectral faces came to life, a reverberant voice eating in the space:

"The final battle to decide your fate will now begin."

"If you are able to defeat the challenger, you will be given complete freedom, and if you were to fail..."

The spectral faces paid no attention to the voice. They murmured among themselves with mad looks in their eyes:

"Finally the time for the battle has come!"

"This time we must prove ourselves and win!"

"I don’t want to be trapped anymore in the bodies of others, dying again and again under the hands of others!"

"No matter who this challenger is, he must have to die!"

"We will tear him into pieces, show him the might of the high goblin race!"

By the end, a collective voice of thousands of individuals caused the surroundings to quake.

When Zarek was able to see again, he was in a completely different world. Thick dark fog as far as his eyes could see, the temperature so incredibly low that ordinary individuals might be frozen to death almost instantaneously.

Even with his enhanced stats, Zarek felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

Suddenly his body froze. Just at this moment he felt countless gazes land on his body, each filled with wild evil intentions.

"Who!"

Zarek jerked his head around only to see a six-feet-tall goblin on steroids was coming running in his direction at full speed, its eyes filled with thick killing intent.

"Kill... I must kill you!"

The goblin hatefully announced.

The proclamation left Zarek stunned. Why would you want to kill me? Did I steal your wife or something?

No matter how much he complained, the situation was not going to change.

Zarek didn’t even need to think—the absolute combat mode activated on its own, and in the next moment he swung downwards in a clear arc.

The fog was cut apart and the goblin running toward him was not spared either.

[Ding! One high goblin killed, kill the remaining to close the dungeon once and for all]

Zarek looked at this prompt with a stunned expression.

Wait, even this was possible?
