Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 49 :Trapped In Unknown

DRIP!DRIP!DRIP

The sound of splashing water echoed in the empty place making Lucas's ears twinge.

His eyelashes fluttered, and his face contorted in agony.

A familiar pain accompanied by a cooling sensation spread over his head.

"Haaa..."

A small groan escaped from his lips and as he opened his eyes, for a moment everything was dark and fuzzy.

It lasted for a while and after his eyes adjusted to the dim light, the picture of the surroundings started to reflect on his eyes.

Rooms or some type of worn-out enclosures, incomplete and disarrayed looking more like a ruined place. Blackish walls covered by thick overgrowth of moulds and slime, illuminated by flickering overhead lamps that give one the feeling of something sinister and ominous could creep out of anywhere and at any time. It is more like a haunted place.

Lucas took a moment to control his messy thoughts and open his eyes properly and found his vision dyed in red and soon his eyes started to burn. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

Lucas was about to raise his hand to rub his eyes, frowning slightly, looked towards his right and found his right arm crushed under debris of bricks.

Lucas's mind jolted awake and it was only then he became aware of his situation. The sound of splashing before was not caused by water rather it was created by the blood dripping down from his cracked head.

His right arm had been crippled and the bones were fractured. His back was blocked off by a wall.

Lucas while clearing away the debris over his right arm wondered what was going on.

"If I remember correctly, I was caught up in the explosion accident so how did I end up here?"

"Where is this place? Is this place an ancient ruin that appeared out of nowhere and caused an accident?"

"If it's not then that probably meant this is a dungeon?"Lucas panicked a bit, arriving at such a conclusion.

Because if it is a dungeon and a red type on top of that then he is dead, fortunately, he remembered Miss Ami's words.

Dungeons above 3-Star cannot appear in the Capital.

With ample planning and the things in his arsenal, he might clear a 3-Star dungeon.

There are risks but if he needs to go out alive, he needs to take risks. He was not gullible enough to believe in hunter departments to come here and save him.

Waiting for them was akin to waiting for death.

Another pain coursed through his body. On looking down, Lucas found his ankle twisted at 90°

"Damnnn!"Lucas extended his left arm, bent down, and rotated it.

"KyakkkK!"His chest rose and veins bulge over his neck as he squirmed in pain.

Lucas, after aligning his bones properly, pulled out a lower-grade potion and gulped it down.

CRACKLE!

His bones started to join and the wounds over his head healed. There was still a scratch mark over his head which would be gone if he had used intermediate grade potion but there was no need for that. He should save experience points as much as possible.

"I am good as long as I can move," Lucas muttered and standing up started to walk.

He hardly took ten steps, when he stepped on something amidst the overgrown weeds.

Looking down, he saw bloodied fingers. In his stupor, he tilted his head, and bending down he saw a mound of bricks over the finger.

Lucas nudged the bricks and cleared the scraps.

As the bricks fell with a rattling sound, Lucas's eyes caught the sight of a bloodied human who was buried underneath it. Lucas squatted down to check on him.

His expression became pale. He was not surprised by the man's death but rather by his identity. He was the same Uncle he met and asked about the things going on.

Lucas closed the man's widened eyes and said"Sorry, I can't take your dead body and bury you in the grave."

His storage was of the lowest grade and it had 1m2 space which had almost been filled.

Pulling out his sword, Lucas swallowing his saliva slowly strode forward. He held his breath and surveyed his surroundings but he could not sense any discomfort from around.

It was forbidden to underestimate unknown space. Some monsters knew how to hide their presence, so for them, one needed to have experience or skills to deal with. They are quite weak so because of this they need to hide and lay an ambush.

A few lamps continued to flicker on the wall, seeing that Lucas felt the structure was man-made and the cells look like prison rooms except they have no bars or doors.

Lucas halted his steps and staring ahead, he felt a prevailing aura of uneasiness and scanned his surroundings.

He checked the prison room to search for anyone hiding in it but there was none. He tried to use his sense of smell but everything smelled rotten and putrid.

Even after this, the sense of uneasiness didn't disappear.

Lucas who stood there motionlessly suddenly quivered due to an odd thought. He could still feel his back tingling, a sense of eeriness made his hair stand up in fear.

'I hope it's just my illusion.'Lucas hardened his heart and clenched his sword tightly preparing for the worst possible scenario.

In robotic motion, Lucas's neck turned up emitting a small crackle, and as soon as his gaze landed on the ceiling...

KYAAKKKKKKK!

Lucas's body reacted as if he had already been prepared, so he immediately swung his sword in the air.

The sharp edge of the sword sliced the thing that came at him.

Blood splashed and a round object flew which he avoided by squatting down.

The monster spat out a pained cry on landing away from Lucas and fully came into Lucas's vision.

It was a monkey that had sharp claws and it had its tail missing. It shrieked furiously and wriggled the remaining portion of the tail.

Lucas did not know the name of the monster nor did he waste time observing it. This was the perfect opportunity for Lucas to kill it as it was caught up in pain.

Lucas ran forward activating his flash step.

Throwing his body like lightning, he came right before it and before it could react, Lucas chopped it down with his sword.

The creature's head separated from its body and fell with a thud.

"Khkkkkkk!"

The monkey spat out a final wail before stopping its breath.

[You have killed a peak 1-Star monster. You have gained 1900 experience.]

Lucas shook his sword and took a moment to observe the monster.

The monkey looked thin and malnourished. It had sharp claws and a pair of bloody eyes. However, what surprised him was the tail.

Lucas searched for the object that flew before him and on finding it, he stood there stupefied for a moment.

It was a round metallic ball with spikes on it with a portion of the tail linked to it.

"Is this man-made?"

Lucas's eyes flashed in horror after concluding.

"Are these experimented monsters? There were several cases where humans experimented on the monster to produce more deadly ones."

Lucas's heart skipped a beat for suddenly ending up in such a situation. Now, he wanted to scream and ask Fate what was going on.

'Shouldn't it be Frederick who should be in a place like this so why the hell did he end up here?'

He searched for this place and events similar to this in the plot but he could not find any.

There were instances but nothing came close to this. The dungeons Frederick got trapped in were forest along with the desert type and a high-ranking one on top of that.

"Damn, that lady was correct. Not only am I unlucky, but the world is also trying to kill me."

"Just what crime did I commit? I didn't beg to transmigrate so why?"Lucas hit his hand on the wall with frustration.

A loud sound vibrated which was followed by roars and shrieks.

Lucas being alerted turned his gaze and saw many pairs of beastly eyes glowing in the darkness over the ceiling far away from his place seemingly waiting to a bus him.

"There is a whole pack."Lucas gasped heavily.

"Fortunately, they are at a low level."

Lucas raising his sword spoke in an infuriated tone"Come here you shithead and became the source of my exp."

"I need a good outlet to vent my anger. You all came at the right time."

"Now come here and get killed."

Lucas's expression distorted in anger and he lunged forward at them fearlessly. The tension he felt disappeared and was now replaced by sheer frustration.

They bared their claws and jumped at him.

Lucas chopped down the one at the front in half and threw a fireball straight at another one's face making its face explode.

His fireball could kill a 1-Star monster if it did not have hard fur or scales.

These malnourished monkeys without a tough thick protective layer were just cannon fodder for his attacks.

Lucas who rotated his body to increase his momentum cut down another in half horizontally but in doing so his sword was stuck into the gap between the brick of the wall forming a crack.

"Shit!"

Lucas cursed as he saw one of the monsters jumping at him swung his tail containing the iron mace at him.

Lucas ducked low and the mace flew over his head and struck the floor.

BANG!

The ground shook, and a crack formed instantly on the hard floor.

'Man, I would be crushed if I got hit once.'

He did not have the leeway to stay there and admire the scene as one more monster was running toward him.

Since his sword saw no sign of coming, he gave up on it and threw a hard punch toward the monster by hauling towards it.

WHOOSH!

Accompanied by a bone-crushing sound, his fist tore through the air and slammed against the monkey's face, blasting it away with a bloodied face.

Lucas sensing the danger, swayed his body and gave a round bottom kick hitting the other monster whose tail was struck on the ground.

BANG!

The monster flew and hitting the other wall bounced off against the wall after the collision and then it was greeted by a fireball that was hurling towards it making his vision filled with bright orange light.

POPPP!

That was the last color it had seen before its soul departed to heaven or maybe to hell.
