I'm The supreme Fairy King

Chapter 229: Getting To The Surface

Jim's light proved to be much more effective than all of their attacks combined. "Good boy," Hector praised.

"Focus on the down below," Jim said, "I can handle that darkness on my own."

Hector seemed to be slightly hesitant before nodding to him. "You heard the man, move and attack anything moving down below now!"

The next instant everyone followed their leader's words to the letter and started to rain down the dark pit with different kinds of attacks.

Landslides, tornados of frost, even gush of salty water rained down over the heads of any monster below them.

"Roar!" and the lizard was dragged forcibly along the way by the bond and that seemed not to please it. It roared, and kept roaring as if it was ordering all of her army to keep attacking Jim.

Under the different lights of the attacks Jim could finally see the entire scene of the pit and its walls. "Holy sh*t! All of these monsters were lying in this pit!!!"

He was shocked to see hundreds of different shapes and sizes of monsters, all crawling over the walls and climbing fiercely towards him.

Yet under this barrage of brutal attacks they had to pause, and even many lost their grip over the wall and falling all the way down.

"Roar!"

But this didn't stop the queen lizard from roaring and stressing them to keep pushing over. "She... looks a bit worried," Jim suddenly felt a strange feeling that didn't belong to him.

"She should be," Hector agreed, "tied up with your spell and being dragged all the way out of her lair... that's the worst situation any king or queen would face."

"Any monster would be terrified to piss themselves if they faced such a boss," one of the disciples said and next everyone laughed, including Jim.

"Then let's drag her fatty ass up to the surface then," Jim said with a better mood.

"Wrong," Hector sneered, "do you want her to get angrier at us? It's more suited to call her ass royal and not a fatty kid."

And everyone laughed alongside the two while they kept ascending in accelerating pace while the darkness above kept retreating faster while suffering injuries.

"Are you ok?" Jim had to check on his pet once in a while. After all, without him he would be vulnerable to only death.

"Roar!" Don roared and Jim felt he was happy.

"Your pet... ``I never thought of dealing with such a forbidden spell in this way before," Hector honestly said in obvious admiration, "I swear to find myself a greedy pet with a bottomless belly just like yours once I get out."

"Don't forget me boss."

"and me!"

"Count me in!"

"Hold on guys, it's not a free market," Hector laughed while adding, "you should all seek your own pets on your own selves, alright?"

"C'mon boss."

"We can't do it without you."

"Just buy a large batch of monsters for all of us."

"That won't be worth a lot, boss."

"Shut up guys and keep fighting," Hector changed the topic, "or else we won't be alive to have this quarrel once again."

"Stingy boss!"

"Our boss is cold hearted."

"How can you change all of sudden?"

"All this for just a few pets? Humph!"

Jim and Hector couldn't help but laugh and others laughed as well. They were joking around and Jim could easily tell that.

"Alright," Hector suddenly put an end to this strange atmosphere amidst the fight, "this is it... the edge is so near and you know what that means."

Jim glanced around and saw everyone was turning far more serious than before. "What's wrong?" he asked with a loss.

"That last step in a mile road is always the hardest kid," Hector suddenly started to act as an old man, "this queen won't stay silent while we drag her royal ass over the edge, right?"

Jim didn't know what he was speaking about but he only nodded as what he heard seemed logical. "Plus those dark hunters up above won't stop until we drag her royal ass outside. It's going to be... a little messy."

"But don't worry," one of the team said, "we will handle the rest and you just keep dragging her fatty ass outside."

"Stupid Kim, do you want her to get mad at us?" Hector laughed, "it's her royal ass, not fatty ass moron."

They all returned to laugh again and this time Jim knew it wasn't out of pure happiness or excitement, but from deep stress and utmost fear.

"I'll do my best," Jim vowed and his words silenced all of them, "as long as you do your best, I'll do mine."

"Good," Hector patted over his head to instantly retract his hand, "damn, that stings like hell!"

And everyone laughed at him.

"Stop laughing," Hector shouted before adding, "we are almost at the edge."

Jim noticed the darkness that blocked any vision to see the rocky ceiling of the cave was finally lifted.

"Is he dead?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Who? That dark hunter?" Hector asked and from Jim's silence he could tell what was running in his mind, "nah, it requires more than that to kill such a mother f*cker."

"You seem to hate them a lot," Jim casually said.

"Well, as someone who lost a girl on the hands of one of those motherf*ckers then I have all the right to hate them."

Jim's face froze when he heard that, but Hector couldn't see his reaction. "S- Sorry, didn't know anything about it."

"It was his sister," one of the disciples said, "not his girlfriend. Our boss doesn't have a girl to like. Who is such crazy to like someone crazy as him?"

"Stop it Wolfen," Hector said while a faint smile appeared over his face.

And Jim got the message and dropped asking anymore about such a topic.

"Be ready," Hector shouted, "once we are up there we'll face a lot of heat coming from all fronts. Be calm and don't wander off away from the main group. The mighty fairies know that I won't move to help any of you if you get hot headed up there, got it?"

"Howl!"

The group howled and Hector howled with them in a way that made Jim feel much admiration for this group. "I want my team to be like them," he muttered while deciding to take drastic measures after coming back.

It was really fun to be part of such a team, even in such desperate and dark moments.
