The Extra's Dominance

'Ugh, he looks like shit...'

Raven thought to himself with disgust written all over his face while his eyes are closed.

He's currently sharing vision with Yuki, and he can see Blake bathed in blood and small chunks of rotten organs of the buffed undead.

That sight made Raven frown.

Anyway, Raven also saw the last part of Blake's battle against the buffed undead...

And that reminded him that Blake is really a monster than can be on par with the main characters sooner or later.

'Where the hell did Blake come from..? He wasn't in my novel but why is he strong?'

Raven thought, he feels like he's really missing something...

'Any idea?'

Raven asked in his head.

[Nope, no clue.]

And Sariel answered.

'Gah! I'll just think about it later, his existence is beneficial to me anyways.'

Raven thought with a slight annoyed face.

Meanwhile...

Alec, Curtis, Eve, Adelle, and Aoi who are resting a few meters away from Raven...

Saw that Raven has his eyes closed for some time now and is making weird expressions.

"Is he sleeping?"

Alec asked in a low voice.

"Looks like it, seems like he's having a bad dream too."

And Adelle spoke in the same manner.

The others thought that Raven is sleeping 'cause he's so relaxed. His heart beats in the same pattern of someone who's asleep too.

(Raven's just that calm because of <Calm Thinker>.)

"He have a nerve of steel to sleep inside a dungeon."

Aoi said.

"Or he's an idiot."

And Curtis followed.

"..."

Eve just watched Raven for a few more seconds, before opening her mouth.

"Maybe he just have that much trust in us... Enough to be able to sleep inside a dungeon."

Eve mumbled unconsciously, just like she's giving a normal opinion.

"Eh?"

Which caused the others to look at her in bewilderment.

They didn't expect Eve to say something like that...

"..."

And after thinking about it again, Eve got embarrassed too at what she said.

"..."

"..."

The group became silent and they started looking around aimlessly.

They all think that Eve's statement just now is highly possible.

And thinking about it made them all embarrassed to some extent.

"Tsk..."

Curtis suddenly clicked his tongue...

Then he started looking around to see if there are enemies nearby.

And the others did so too.

They don't want to admit it, but their opinions about Raven improved to some extent.

'So he trust us huh...'

Is what's in their heads even though they all wear different expressions on their faces.

(Raven's not sleeping tho...)

Well, they aren't practically wrong, Raven can freely close his eyes and relax because he thinks that the others can take care of any enemy that go nears them.

"Wow, how can he sleep while sitting..?"

Adelle whispered.

'Because he's a weirdo.'

And everyone have the same answer in mind.

***

After a few minutes...

"Hey! I'm here!"

Blake reunited with the others, he followed Yuki to where Raven and the others are.

"Ugh, what's with his appearance?"

"What the hell happened to him?"

And immediately after seeing Blake, the others didn't miss that he's covered in blood... And smells like shit.

"Hehehe"

Blake didn't notice their expressions so he carefreely approached the others with a stupid grin.

"!"

"!"

And seeing that made Alec and the other four opened their eyes wide.

They all looked at Raven.

And feeling their gazes...

Raven looked back at them.

"<Improved Cleanse>"

Then Raven casted a magic to clean up Blake.

Seeing a magic surrounding him, Blake suddenly stopped walking.

Swoosh-

And just a few seconds after, Blake's whole body became clean!

Even the foul smell covering him was gone!

"Thanks Raven!"

Blake expressed his gratitude as soon as he was cleaned, he felt refreshed.

""Phew...""

And the others sighed in relief.

They also looked at Raven with gratitude.

And seeing that... Raven frowned a little.

'What's up with these weirdos...'

Raven already intended to clean Blake even without the others asking, just for his sake.

He can't stand it when someone or something so dirty and smelly is near him.

"Yuki, come here."

-Kyuu!

Anyway, shaking all the unnecessary thoughts aside, Raven called out for Yuki.

And with his call, Yuki cutely flew toward Raven and rested on top of his head.

"Here, drink this."

After that, Raven casually threw a small vial full of yellow liquid to Blake.

"Huh?"

Blake caught it and looked at Raven, seemingly want to ask a question.

Raven already know what Blake wants to ask...

"It's a stamina potion, we already rested enough while we were waiting for you."

"We need to move now, we already wasted so much time."

So he answered in advance.

"Okay."

Blake nodded his head after hearing Raven's explanation, then he chugged down the stamina potion.

"Anyway, how can we move to the deeper floor of the labyrinth?"

Alec then asked a question.

"There should be an entrance or path somewhere.."

And he was answered by Eve.

"Based on the structure of this floor and how dungeons work, it should be around there."

Eve added while pointing at where the army of undeads came from.

"Then that's our next destination, right?"

Raven suddenly asked.

"Then let's go."

And without waiting for too long...

Bam!

Raven dashed to the direction where Eve pointed at.

Raven doesn't know where is the entrance to the deeper floors as he didn't put much that details about dungeon layouts in his novel.

So he just trusted his main characters that had already experienced and studied a lot about dungeons.

"He's really impatient huh..."

Eve mumbled.

"Let's go."

Then she added.

""Okay!""

And with that... The others followed Raven.

The group encountered some undeads on the way, but it wasn't really worth mentioning them as they all got annihilated easily.

And as Eve said earlier, Raven was really impatient...

***

(20 hours later after Raven and the others entered the labyrinth.)

"We should rest here."

Raven calmly suggested as he looked around.

There's no monster nearby and the place is pretty well hidden.

Meanwhile, the others are just looking at Raven weirdly without saying a word...

They all wear complicated expressions on their faces.

The group is inside a swampy forest, that's the theme of the floor they're in.

And most of the monsters in this floor are Mud Golems and Swamp Monkeys.

Both are <E+> rank monsters!

Anyway...

Raven and the others aren't in the 2nd floor of the labyrinth.

They're already in the middle of the 3rd floor!

"We made a pretty good progress today, right guys?"

Raven asked the others with a satisfied smile.

The others looked at Raven, he looks like a demon in their eyes.

'This is just a 'pretty good' progress?'

They all nervously thought.
