The Train to The Dungeon

Chapter 19: Outbreak

As I was about to exit Hall B, Chika's voice called out. I turned my head and the girl looked pale, clutching my arm tightly.

“Mama, is she at home?” tanyakanya. “I tried calling him but not picked up!”

“It's Sunday, he's definitely at home,” I replied, checking the device. “My message is also not read, even though it has been sent.”.

I took off the girl's grip. “Chika, I have to go there now to make sure Aunt Tara is okay.”

“I'm coming!” Chika almost ran after me but her friends in the back called.

“Chika, where are you going? We were told to gather in Hall A!”

The girl stopped her steps, she looked back, then looked back at me. His eyes looked doubtful and confused.

“Go meet your friends,” I said. “I'll go home first and tell you about Aunt Tara.”

“Please, yes, Arka,” sound Chika vibrates. He must be very scared and worried.

I immediately rushed out of the Jakarta Convention Center. In times like these, finding transportation online is definitely difficult. If you can, not necessarily the driver will take you to the location that is happening Outbreak. It's looking dead its name.

The road immediately became completely jammed. This must be the effect of the Outbreak announcement. People are trying to get out of Jakarta. They did not know the scale of the damage that occurred would extend to which area, so it was better if you were to move away from the edge of the city.

Everyone is like-minded, private vehicles compete on narrow streets resulting in total traffic jams. Public transport was paralyzed instantly.

I saw TNI helicopters flying through the air, they were heading towards West Jakarta. Digital billboards on the streets began to display evacuation warnings, all television shows also aired news Outbreak, the people of—, especially those living in West Jakarta were asked to leave the area.

Since then my gaze has been vibrating due to the messages from the Hunter Association that have been continuously popping up, starting from the latest information on Outbreak, evacuation orders, etc, until the call to Hunter Ranked B and above to help clean up the monsters in West Jakarta.

“If waiting for public transportation can be long.” I scratched my head without itching while thinking of ways.

“Run, it's the only way.” I let out a breath. Lately, I was able to complete a 1 kilometer run quest in less than 15 minutes, supposedly, if I added a status point to DXT, I could run even faster.

While putting up a running swing, I moved my 10 status points to the DXT attribute.

When I put my strength on my footing, it felt like my body was ejected and shot away, like running on the wind. My surroundings pass quickly. This feeling is like driving in a race car. In an instant, I had already arrived at the red light crossroads close to our housing.

Black smoke rose from various locations, and flames were seen burning several buildings. The road was damaged and the cars were in an accident. The impact produced was already this big. While I was searching for the monster that caused it, the corner of my eye caught three ugly-looking green-faced creatures, their height was not up to a meter.

“Goblin?” I cried, not believing.

The three goblins were bald, having pointed eyes with black pupils shaped like stripes. They only wore loincloths and brought wood to beat. Goblins are quite common monsters found in dungeons. They belonged to Class D monsters, so they should have come from a Tier 2 Dungeon.

There had almost never been an Outbreak incident of a Tier 2 Dungeon. The cause of this Outbreak is likely from two things, the group of Hunters who acted recklessly until finally killed by the goblins, or the dungeon was not successfully beaten in three days.

I heard screams from two cars that rolled on the street. It was seen that the three goblins were pulling the legs of the young girl who was wedged in the seat of her front car.

“Please!” the woman screamed in fear. The three goblins were about to tear off his jeans.

This is what I dislike most about goblins. These monsters were indeed not very strong and small in stature, but their appetite for reproduction was extremely high. Unfortunately, there are no female goblins, so they like to kidnap women of other races to serve as reproductive organs. Including humans.

I jumped down from the top of the red light and went straight to the three goblins. My right hand took out a Grasscutter and instantly aimed a sickle blade at each of their necks. One swing from my hand and three heads were severed instantly. The woman screamed to see the goblin in front of her collapsing headlessly.

“Quiet, they're dead,” I said. “I'm Hunter, let me help you get out of the car.”

After hearing my words, the woman became calmer. He followed my instructions very well, so the rescue process was much easier. Eventually the woman managed to get out of the car.

“Here many goblins, please be careful,” my message.

The closer to the housing, the more goblins were seen. There are some Hunters who are fighting against the goblins. My eyes quickly scanned those Hunter-Hunters, most of them being rank D and E Hunters. There were several C Rank Hunters, but it seemed like they were also starting to be overwhelmed from being outnumbered by the goblin army.

I walked over to a group of goblins who were besieging four D-ranked Hunters. From behind, I blasted a few attacks that instantly cut through the bodies of those goblins. Their bodies split in two and fell splattered on the asphalt.

The Hunters looked surprised at my presence.

“A–I didn't see it coming earlier,” whispered one of them.

I looked towards the Hunters. “There are some residents who belom displaced, you better help them out of this place.”

“We understand!” replied the Hunter wearing black armor. The four of them immediately went and looked for the residents who were still left behind in the residential area.

While heading to Aunt Tara's house, I will eradicate the goblins that are roaming the streets. From the residential gate, goblins were seen running around the security guard post. They chased two security guards who looked frightened and panicked.

I immediately ran towards them and killed the two goblins. Not stalling, I set foot and jumped on the roof of one of the three-story houses. From above, I can observe more.

The houses look broken. The goblins broke the door, broke the glass, and even destroyed the fence. Several Hunters were seen fighting on the streets. Not a few residential residents are still trapped inside, surrounded by goblins.

I went to one of the courtyards crowded by a group of Goblin Paladins. These goblins were one caste higher than ordinary goblins. They were goblins dressed in iron armor, carrying perization and sharp weapons like swords.

I attacked the goblins. Goblin paladins have gaps in their heads that are not completely covered in armor. I thrust the tips of the Grasscuter scythe into their eyes. The puncture penetrated all the way to the back of the head and destroyed their brains instantly.

The other goblins instantly realized my presence. Their little legs ran towards me while raising a sword. However, I was moving much faster than them. In an instant, I had already finished off the remaining fourteen other Goblin Paladins.

[You have leveled up!]

“After four days of idle, finally leveling up again,” muttered me while looking at the system notification screen. It is more efficient to level up by killing monsters. Then I'll kill all the goblins here.

I ran away from that house. During the trip to Aunt Tara's house, I slaughtered every goblin in sight. I didn't give them a chance to fight at all. Every time I meet a goblin, I jump right in front of him, cut off their bodies or stab them in the head.

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

I killed countless goblins. The roads I went through must have left the bodies of goblins that had become corpses.

Just one more turn and I'll be home. Suddenly a familiar scream was heard. Not far away, saw Mang Asep porridge cart that toppled over. Mang Asep was behind his overturned wagon, while in front of him were five Goblin Paladins.

“Please, no! Please eat the porridge, but don't kill me!” said Mang Asep who was frightened.

I immediately jumped into place while preparing an attack with Grasscutter. Three stabs and two slashes landed on the bodies of the goblins. They were killed instantly and fell in front of Mang Asep.

“Arka!” Mang Asep exclaimed with a happy expression. “Thank you! You can eat porridge for free for a month!”

“These four are still thinking about porridge,” my response with a small smile. “See that leg Mang Asep.”

Mang Asep looked at his right ankle. Looks like he was hit by a goblin sword. His ankle was torn until his bones were visible. Mang Asep shouted again in fear at the sight of blood pouring from his wounds.

I close my hand to Mang Asep's wound.

“Heal,” my murmur and the wound healed instantly.

Mang Asep gawked at the sight of the wound on his leg disappearing without a trace. “Arka since when was a shaman?”

“This is not the power of shamans, Mang,” reply me while laughing small. “Already yes, near here there is a Hunter who again checks the houses, Mang Asep come with them only to be assisted evacuation.”

“Where are you going?”

“To home, find Aunt Tara,” I replied while standing.

By the time I got home, the building looked partially destroyed. My face turned pale. If the destruction is this severe, like the condition of Aunt Tara. The door of the house seemed to be broken down from the outside, I went inside and found the wall of the house that had been hollowed out. The furniture fell and the glass shattered, like a horde had run out of this house. How appalling.

“Tante Tara!” I called out to him, but no one answered.

My feet scoured every room, there was no figure anywhere. Switching to the second floor, there was also no one. When I checked the kitchen, I found Aunt Tara's phone lying on the table. I saw on the screen many incoming calls from Chika, as well as messages from me. None that he could read.

I was hoping when Outbreak happened, Aunt Tara was going shopping or something, but seeing her phone left in the kitchen, it was clear she was at home when the goblins came attacking.

“Oh, no,” both my legs go limp instantly. My hands are holding on to the table so that my body doesn't collapse. My head feels dazed. “Where is Aunt Tara?”

I have an assumption, but this is a bad assumption. These goblins probably caught Aunt Tara and brought her to their nest to serve as a means of reproduction.

“No, no!” Just imagine it has made my stomach churn so nauseous. “If that's true, it means I have to come to their place!”

My resolve's rounded. I also stepped out of the kitchen. However, in front of the entrance stood a one-horned rhinoceros-like monster. On top of the monster was a 1.5 meter tall goblin, sitting while carrying a spear-like weapon.

“Goblin Raider,” I muttered while throwing a gaze filled with anger.
