Villain Is on Vacation - 108 Dragging Into Traps
As the gate opened, shadowy creatures started pouring out like no end.
Ken quickly assessed the situation and yelled out orders to his team. “Luna, Marry, I need you two to use your magic to create a barrier around us!” He turned his face to Noah who had a pale face because of what he experienced just now.
“Noah, I want you to take out any enemies from a distance. Elena, stick by my side.
We will use our swords to protect us!”
Luna and Marry immediately began chanting and waving their hands, creating a magical shield around the group.
Noah positioned himself at a vantage point and began firing arrows at the shadowy creatures. Elena stood next to Ken, her sword at the ready.
The creatures were fast and agile, making it difficult for the group to keep up with their movements.
Ken and Elena were constantly on the move, slashing at the creatures that came too close.
Luna and Marry were holding up the barrier, but it was beginning to crack under the pressure.
“We need to take these things out fast!” Ken shouted as he dodged a swipe from a creature’s claw.
“Luna, Marry, I need you to focus your magic on one target at a time. Noah, aim for their weak spots!”
The team quickly adjusted their tactics, focusing their attacks on one creature at a time.
Luna and Marry directed their magic at the same target, weakening its defenses.
Noah aimed at the weakened spot and fired a precise shot, taking down the creature.
Like that, they started killing shadowy creatures one by one.
The shadowy creatures that the team faced were dark, amorphous beings that seemed to be made of pure darkness.
They were humanoid in shape, with long, clawed fingers and glowing red eyes that shone like beacons in the darkness.
Their movements were quick and unpredictable as if they were constantly shifting and changing shape.
It was difficult to get a good look at them, as they seemed to blend into the shadows, making it hard to discern any clear features beyond their glowing eyes and sharp claws.
Despite their amorphous appearance, these creatures moved with terrifying grace and speed, darting in and out of the shadows to strike at the team with lightning-fast attacks.
Their very presence sent shivers down the team’s spines as if they were facing an ancient evil that had been lurking in the shadows for centuries.
The team barely had a chance to catch their breath before more shadowy creatures appeared, pouring out of the darkness.
Ken’s heart sank as he realized that this fight was far from over.
“We can’t keep this up forever,” Marry exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.
Luna gritted her teeth and unleashed a powerful burst of magic, taking down several creatures at once. “We have to keep going! We can’t let them overwhelm us!”

Elena stood by Ken’s side, her sword flashing as she fended off the creatures that came too close. “We have to find a way to stop them from coming!” she said.
Ken thought quickly, trying to come up with a plan. “Marry, Luna, I need you to focus your magic on the gate! See if you can seal it shut!”
Marry and Luna nodded, their expressions determined. They began chanting, their hands glowing with magic.
The creatures tried to break through the team’s defenses, but the group held firm, buying Marry and Luna the time they needed.
Finally, with a burst of energy, Marry and Luna unleashed a powerful spell that slammed the gate shut, sealing it tight.
The creatures howled in frustration, pounding against the gate with all their might, but they couldn’t break through.
Ken let out a sigh of relief, wiping sweat from his brow. “Good work, everyone. We held them off.”
Noah looked at the sealed gate warily. “But for how long?”
Elena sheathed her sword, her eyes scanning the darkness. “We have to keep moving. There’s no telling what else is waiting for us in here.”
As they were thinking of what to do, Nick appeared.
“What happened?” He asked in a concerned tone.
Luna came ahead and started explaining every detail to Nick,
“Senior, we got a map while exploring the cave a while ago. So after completing our mission – Killing the Red Ogre, we decided to explore the dungeon a bit.
After some discussion, we decided to come here as it was a near and easy place according to the map. This place was marked as Goblin’s nest. However, just when we opened the gate those unknown shadowy creatures appeared…” Luna was talking too fast, however, Nick kept listening.
“Okay. Okay. I got the gist of it.” Nick stopped her. As he felt this girl would keep babbling otherwise.
“I saw that you guys sealed them behind that gate. Good job.” Hearing, Nick’s praise all girls blushed. While Noah filled a bit proud.
Only Ken looked still troubled.
“What happened, Kevin?” Nick noticing Ken’s troubled face asked.
“Senior, I can’t contact professors somehow.” While Luna was explaining things to Nick, Ken was trying to contact Kevin and the other professors. However, oddly he couldn’t contact them.
As soon as Ken’s words fell, other members also tried to contact professors. But to no avail, they couldn’t.
“I have an idea,” Nick said. All of the team members looked at him with expectations.
“After some time, the door will open. I will stay here and keep those creatures at the bay. While I stop them, you guys escape this cave and bring the professors for help.”
“Good idea. Senior Nick is so kind.” Marry said with stars in her eyes.
Luna and Elena also nodded. Noah looked slightly troubled as he felt it was a bit wrong. However, he knew with his strength he would only get in the way if he stayed here, and this was the best idea.
“No, I can’t let you do that.” Ken denied that idea outrightly. He had confidence in his strength that he could help Nick while staying. “I will also stay here.” He said in a firm tone.
“No, you can’t. You would only get in “my way.” And you also have to bring back your team out of the dungeon safely.” Nick said politely in a charming voice. His words sounded like they contained magic.
Ken couldn’t argue back after hearing Nick’s reasoning. “Okay, I will try my best to bring professors earliest.” Saying this, Ken started leading the team toward the way they came.
“Take care.” While leaving he mumbled and stared at Nick.
Nick also stared back with a smile and nodded.
After a few moments, Ken and his team were out of sight.
“Phew, finally those Idiots are gone,” Nick said in a cold tone. The smile on his face disappeared.
Nick tapped the purple ring on his middle finger, and in an instant, a deep purple robe appeared and draped over his entire body, replacing his academy uniform.
The robe was made of a mystical material that shimmered in the light, and its dark color seemed to absorb the light around it, making it difficult to discern the figure beneath.
The robe had a hood that was pulled low over Nick’s face.
The deep purple robe was embroidered with intricate designs that glimmered in the shadows, and its hem was trimmed with a fine gold thread that added to its regal appearance.
The hood of the robe was lined with a soft, velvety material that contrasted sharply with the rough texture of the outer layer. The sleeves of the robe were long and flowing.
There was a symbol drawn on his back. The symbol was a twisted knot made from thorny vines, with a skull, a dagger, a spider, and a bat inside.
[The knot represents the organization’s chaotic and intricate nature, while the thorns or serpents suggest danger and power. The skull, dagger, spider, and bat represent different factions of the organization.]
There was also a skull drawn near Nick’s heart. It looked menacing and eerie.
After the transformation, Nick walked towards the sealed gate. The gate was trembling every moment. It looked like it would break after a few moments.
“It would waste too much time,” Nick thought inwardly. He snapped his fingers.
Dark purple daggers materialized and broke those illusionary chains which were sealing the gate.
In a blink of a second, the gate burst open again, this time it was destroyed because of force.
Nick disappeared before the gate and stood in the corner. Because of his robe’s special features, those creatures couldn’t sense him.
The shadow creatures looked quite angry. Upon not finding any target, they started running in different directions.
As those creatures were leaving. Nick took out two devices. One was the connection jammer, given to him by the organization. While other was an exclusive communication device for the members of the organization.
He sent a message to everyone, “Time to work on the plan.”
At that moment, 14 out of 20 guardians got that message. All of them transformed into their different attire with help of the ring.
“Now I am curious, how will you get out of alive from this hell, Ken?” Nick chuckled.
Soon, every student’s smartwatch started ringing for “Help” notifications.
