"Hey, asshole," Ryan said. "What were you waiting for here? A dungeon break is going to happen, isn't it?"
"Don't talk to me, worm," Bolvath said. "If you were alone here, I would be feasting on your entrails right now. Be thankful that you are not alone."
"Sorry, Alissa," Ryan pulled his bow and then began to charge one Power Shot. "I am going to start the interrogation myself."
After a few seconds, just when his mana and stamina became empty, Ryan fired his bone arrow. At that exact same time, Bolvath summoned several skeletons in front of him. The monsters got destroyed one after another with ease, but in the end, the arrow lost a lot of power after hitting so many targets, and Bolvath stopped the bone arrow with his right hand. However, he paid the price for underestimating Ryan. The arrow stopped before it reached his face, but it passed through his right hand.
"Interesting… even worms can cause this much damage if they are given a chance," Bolvath said. "But as you can see, you can only do this much."
Ryan picked several other potions, but then Alissa stopped him. She let him do what he wanted once, but that was enough. Even if it was temporary, they were a team, and they couldn't just do whatever they want without considering the others.
"Answer his question," Alissa said.
"I thought you weren't interested in other humans," Bolvath frowned. "Well… if you need to know, I will answer it. It won't change anything on the grand scale, after all. Your little friend is right. Dungeon breaks will happen all over the world when the dungeons that have been cleared yet complete one month of existence."
Ryan was left speechless after hearing that. He couldn't even begin to imagine what else would be left of the earth if the vast majority of the world dungeons break at the same time. Dozens of demons like Bolvath, T-rexes, would roam free on Earth for who knows how long. Although a good number of humans cleared dungeons, Ryan was certain that most of them were working together. So, things weren't looking good.
"Why do you look so surprised?" Alissa asked. "If you are that worried about humans, you shouldn't always try to work alone."
"This and that are different things," Ryan said. "You are right. I plan to work alone until the day of death, but that doesn't change the fact that I am fighting on the human side. Those dungeon breaks will deal a massive force to our forces."
"You are right, but so what?" Alissa frowned. "What can you do to prevent that? Absolutely nothing. So, I don't understand why you look so troubled."
That was an understatement, but all in all, Alissa was right. In two or three days, the dungeons will break. Even if Ryan plans to clear some dungeons or alert other survivors, he won't be able to change the overall severity of the situation. Besides, even if he wanted, he couldn't. Ryan owed Alissa, and he didn't plan to go back on his word. It was just… the situation got so much complicated that Ryan couldn't help but panic for a second.
