Chapter 45 Ella- The danger solver
Chapter 45 Ella- The danger solver
"Hehe~ Would you look at that, I can't believe someone would fall for this," Ella said with continuous giggles. It was as if she had become a kid who got his first lollipop.
Ella moved further and at this point, the duo behind had the confidence to let her go on her own. She had proved her proficiency.
Ella moved her hand at the walls, there were small holes that were too obvious to be shot from. But in truth, just a minute ago, they were hidden and Ella was the one yet again that made it come to light.
When Lucas and John asked her how she was doing this, her answer was very surprising yet disappointing at the same time. As she was a housewife back on Earth, she was getting a lot of free time since her kids had become adults and could live life on their own, it was difficult for Barney and Sean but they had still become more mature than a child.
Ella had left her job when both of them were young in order to provide her full support for her kids. But with time, it was like she was getting a lot of free time. She was thinking of getting a job to support the household just like John but thought of getting a bit of free time just for herself after all these years.
She had started reading novels, playing games, and going out with her friends after years. And one of the games she played was 'Find the Hidden'. It was a puzzle game that had honed her skills at deciphering very few details for clues.
It had come to the point that she completed the whole game and went on to others until the whole market's popular sellers were cracked by her easily.
Now, she was inside a dungeon. With dangers in every nook and cranny. She was laughing and solving traps that were extremely lethal with no fear.
At first, both Lucas and John were reluctant to let her do all this, thinking that it was too dangerous but with every second. It had become hard for them to not put the whole responsibility of keeping them safe on her shoulders. But she didn't care, she picked the responsibility up without even a speck of trouble.
It was the 9th trap that she had deciphered, each unique in its own way. Till now, the trio had found no creature other than the ones at the first hidden danger. Since then, there was nothing but walking and stopping for Ella to decipher the danger and then again start walking.
But Lucas was not bored for one bit, unlike John who had totally given the whole responsibility to Ella. Lucas wanted to learn and be self-sufficient. He tried to find these traps before Ella but had not been successful these 9 times.
But it did not make him disheartened, the excitement inside him only increased. Lucas had a bad habit of obsessing over small things. In the previous world too, he had the need to do things he liked with no shortcuts and with complete concentration, to also do it before others and win even when there were no competitions.
This was one of the reasons that he was called the 'Weird one' at his back in his school but that didn't bother him from being himself at all.
Now these habits of his were making him excel in this world, he was already a leader of a pack of five. A frontline fighter for the pack and had just erased the food troubles even before his mother sent the dead body.
It had been a few hours and Ella was not done at all. She was continuously finding hidden dangers and just activating them from afar so that there were no mistakes or mishappens anytime soon.
During this whole time, John had already called Barney for updates and was told that the dead body was done halfway. He was told that in order to not attract anything dangerous, they had made a hole and had thrown all the unwanted insides of the animal in it so that the smell would fade with every layer of soil they placed over the insides in the hole.
Five more minutes passed yet this time around there were no traps that Ella found. According to her, there weren't any that she could find. Another five minutes later, they could finally start seeing the corridor's other side.
They vigilantly reached the exit of the corridor until finally, they were right a few steps from crossing it.
Ella got back as she knew she was only going to get in the way, her spearmaship may have been better than Sarah and her two sons. But it was nowhere near where she could actually fight with it.
RUMBLE RUMBLE
The ground started to quake which made Ella take the support of the wall while Lucas and John grabbed each other's shoulder.
The runic circle with unknown symbols written in abundance started shining in white and before they could know it. A silhouette was getting materialized in front of their naked eyes.
The sight was mesmerizing, first, there were white shining particles, then they started forming a shape when finally, the creature formed completely.
It was white in color when finally, some color erupted from it. Lucas started feeling that the room had become warmer and it had been only 10 seconds since the creature arrived.
In the end, there it was. A flying bird was right in front of them with its eyes closed. The bird flapped its wings continuously in a pristine manner. Lucas couldn't help but inspect what the majestic creature was.
It was as if the mythologies in his world had formed themselves inside this realm of the dungeon.

Firebird
level 5
Origin- Plain of Amaeron

The bird was about four feet in length, its whole body was on fire as if its whole existence was made of flames. Its eyes which had opened a second ago were emerald green in color that shone in the bright flames. It looked like a 'Phoenix' but was called a Firebird.
"Holy cow... how do we defeat this thing?" Lucas mumbled but was heard by the duo.
The thing looked way above there level grade but they had no choice but to fight. As it was the only way they were going to leave this hellhole.
