Besides, it doesn’t matter now—the die has been cast. So why not let you in on the secret~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen carefully, human——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At midnight, exactly one day from now, all dungeons in this region will erupt in a massive uprising simultaneously. Every single one of them will be destroyed by then. Every single one—and that includes the very dungeon you’re standing in right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! How does it feel to hear that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does patching up the seal matter now? I’ll only have to wait less than a day more. I’ve already waited for centuries—do you think I’ll care about such a short time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spend your last day and a bit getting your affairs in order. Or run away if you want—it won’t make a difference. No matter where you flee, I’ll hunt you down and kill you......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karimal’s voice faded away into the depths behind the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost all interest in taunting Hulim further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he only wanted to wait for the final moment to arrive—so he could step outside and unleash a bloodbath......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pant, pant...... Lady Farna—are you still with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agh...... Barely hanging on. Dammit—how many of these things are there?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag stared at the endless horde of magical beasts surrounding them, letting out a helpless sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like we’re never going to make it out of here......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t say such depressing things! I’m not ready to die yet!” Farna gritted her teeth, her voice fierce with resolve. “I still plan to become a High-Rank Adventurer and live a lavish life of luxury in high society!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ROAR!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A skeleton soldier raised its rusted iron sword and lunged at Farna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you’re dead, stay buried where you belong and stop bothering people—!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of searing flames erupted from the tip of Farna’s wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton soldier was sent flying in an arc, disappearing into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna poured more magical energy into her spell, her flames growing fiercer by the second, forcing a gap in the encircling horde of beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could widen the gap enough to break through, her strength gave out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raging flames died down gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrow opening she had carved out was quickly filled by the surging tide of magical beasts closing in from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna clicked her tongue in frustration, steadied her breathing, and began chanting another incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, dozens of magical beasts with long-range attack capabilities unleashed a barrage of spells and projectiles at the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna made no attempt to defend herself, focusing solely on her chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she knew those attacks would never reach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of swordlight streaked across her field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every incoming attack was intercepted mid-flight. A massive shield rose up in front of her, blocking the full force of the explosions that followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m ready! Terrag—move aside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna shouted, finishing her incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag, who had been standing guard in front of her, stepped aside at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn to cinders—all of you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent inferno erupted from the tip of Farna’s wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast area around the two of them was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless magical beasts were incinerated where they stood, their bones turning to ash in the searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames burned so hot that even Rank B Magical Beasts dared not step foot into the blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pant......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna’s face was pale as she let out a shaky breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Farna—are you alright? Can you keep going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag asked, his voice laced with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agh...... Farna nodded firmly, her jaw set. Don’t worry—I’m not dead yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag nodded and averted his gaze from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the wall of fire, the magical beasts launched wave after wave of attacks, slowly but surely weakening the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fire begin to flicker, Terrag frowned beneath his helmet, his voice low as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......I wonder how Lady Hulim is faring right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to worry about her. Her strength far surpasses the both of us combined!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......You’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’ll probably escape this place without breaking a sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ROAR!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical beasts’ attacks on the fire intensified, growing more frequent and ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea of fire began to waver, and some of the stronger beasts dared to step into the flames, enduring the burns as they advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a shame. If she were here with us, combining our three strengths, escaping would be a piece of cake......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first magical beast to breach the fire wall emerged, staggering toward them through the flames, its body charred but still moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s no use dwelling on that now. The gods rarely answer the prayers of adventurers like us.“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first beast collapsed halfway, succumbing to its burns—but behind it, more and more magical beasts poured into the fire, and the sea of flames began to die out rapidly......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”Prayers, huh......“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag let out a bitter chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”You’re right. Prayers are a luxury for us adventurers. We carve our own paths out of despair with our own two hands.“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Terrag fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, he spoke again, his voice heavy with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Farna......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hate to say this—it might kill what little morale we have left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at Farna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how many potions do you have left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna said nothing in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her silence, Terrag let out a long, weary sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his backpack and pulled out two vials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only have two Mana Potions left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna stared at the potions in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, she let out a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......How lucky. Looks like it’s time to fight like our lives depend on it~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag held out one of the vials to Farna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cork of the vial popped off with a sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna stared at the last Mana Potion in her hand, but she didn’t drink it right away. Instead, she lifted her head and met Terrag’s gaze squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we don’t break through this time...... we’re as good as dead, aren’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......We are.” Terrag nodded, his expression grim.“ If we fail this time, we’ll definitely die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stared at each other in silence, then raised their vials in unison and drained the last of their potions in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurled the empty vials to the ground, shattering them into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farna raised her wand and pointed it straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. ”Terrag nodded, lifting his massive shield with one hand. “I’ll clear the path this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, the sea of fire died out completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ROAR!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless tide of black-cloaked magical beasts surged forward once more, closing in on them from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag gripped his shield tightly, planting it firmly in front of him. His body blazed with a fiery red light, and he charged forward like a battering ram, crashing into the front lines of the horde at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn to ash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Farna held her wand high, unleashing torrents of flames to either side, leaving only a narrow path—barely wide enough for one person—directly in front of Terrag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charging shield collided violently with the vanguard of the magical beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless skeletons were crushed instantly, their bones scattering into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HYAAAAH——!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrag roared at the top of his lungs, charging forward relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more magical beasts piled up in front of him, forming an impenetrable wall of claws and fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged forward for nearly a hundred meters—but then the sheer number of beasts blocking his path became too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mountain of monsters piled up in front of his shield, and finally, his charge came to a grinding halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not take another single step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1377,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","3329ee4ed15a80b7afa1cf3294a9ee8c8bdcafffaf1f2921960947782fc5f95d","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-340","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-377",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
