The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Instructions

While an unconscious pilot and his guardian were being ’kidnapped,’ the people watching the live broadcast started realizing that the situation was dire and was going far beyond the scope of the exam.

Dominic’s live broadcast gave them an idea of what they were dealing with. But everyone felt the gravity of the situation when Xavier called upon a mecha to deal with it, only to end up trapped inside the cave.

However, the commotion happened when the footage was cut off after the cameras were caught in the arachnid’s oozing webs. The viewers could barely see anything except hear the sounds of the thrusters and the particle cannon going off.

The marshal immediately ordered a rescue operation and suspended the exam without consulting the school.

They weren’t privy to the actual situation and wouldn’t have known how risky it was for Xavier, who was in such bad condition.

Duke Leander and the people from the duchy never made progress in fixing the deck, as it was destroyed as soon as the corrupted arachnid appeared before his son.

And when the live stream lost connection, the duchy was in an uproar. Thankfully, their men were close by as the duchy’s representatives and could immediately go to rescue their Lord.

Ollie, for the most part, resuscitated himself by remembering that if he died, who would go get his brother? So, his first order of business was to look for Luca’s people so he could force them to look. Ollie was planning on begging if need be and prepared to bring money, drones, and weapons. He may not be able to use them himself, but surely, if he bombed that spider, something would happen, right?

While everyone was mobilizing to head out to the newly contaminated zone, Luca was trying to haul Xavier out of the mecha. But to do this safely, he had to deal with the black ooze that was now threatening to eat up the spiritual energy of his space.

The goo actually grew thicker as it rapidly absorbed all that it could the moment it came into contact with such energy.

But instead of finding this disgusting, Luca relished in the increasing goo, letting it increase in size a bit before using the dungeon’s inventory to suck it all up.

Without an entity as its Host, the goo could only absorb energy in preparation for an eventual takeover.

D-29 made sure to run a scan in case they missed out on any more contamination. Now Luca had to deal with the bigger issue, which was Xavier, who was lying next to his mecha.

Luca was still frustrated at how Xavier was just willing to sacrifice like that. But at the same time, he was a hypocrite because, at one point in time, he didn’t even attempt to save himself when something similar happened to him.

Luca could only sigh as he pulled over his wooden tub, wanting to place Xavier in but remembering that this guy needed to be guided first before anything else.

Xavier would’ve been writhing in intense pain had he been awake.

By now, the attack on his meridians had begun, and he was without any protection because he was depleted. The attack on the body had also made it difficult for him to absorb energy from the environment, even when there was so much available.

Luca decided to prepare a few pills as well as jugs of spiritual water, hoping to purge everything this time around.

Xavier cannot be brought outside with corruption in his body. If he was only partially guided, he would eventually experience a re-do of the earlier scenario.

"Host, he’s really contaminated now. I wonder how much CP that would give us?" D-29 seemed to have the correct priorities, and Luca remembered how vital that bit was, too.

"!"

If he had been very decided on helping Xavier earlier, he was now even more motivated for his own livelihood. His hesitations about using more invasive methods vanished at the thought of a better life.

Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Luca thought to himself as he drank as much spiritual water in preparation for the most crucial part.
