Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 206 Furnace time!

"Wait What?!" Lucas exclaimed loudly while looking at the hologram screen in shock.

"There are 10 kobolds in here... and a human!!" Lucas said again, louder this time.

"10 Kobolds... if they are together, can we really defeat them?" John thought aloud while looking at the hologram of his own too.

"We will bash their heads in! Where are the bastards anyway?" Jerry asked with a spiky baton in his hand.

"Stay calm, Jerry. We don't know where they are but a human has come to this place. We have to find him... or her."

"Human already?"

"Yeah..."

"We should ask Bill to find them, he is fast enough and already on patrol even after completing one of the missions."

"I will call him, Lucas. You can start with the productions. The Kobolds can't really bypass our shelter anyways." John stated with a raw grin on his face.

Lucas's eyes lit when he heard him, an inkling of realization formed somewhere in his mind.

"Yeah, there will be no problem. Oh, look at the furnace, I think the process is completed."

Everyone looked inside the furnace only to see the flames diminishing, it was not an automatic process.

Lucas had pushed the button again, meaning it was switching off now.@@@@

Hey could now see that the furnace's wall had gotten darker with residues all around yet on the ground, the main ingredient of the concrete was present.

The greyish ash mixed with the dark chunks of wood that Lucas thought to be charcoal.

Only to test the waters, Lucas made his hand move toward the furnace's mouth and after going just a few inches inside, he retracted his hand.

It was just so damn hot!

"Alright, let's look at the roles again Uncle John, we have to be done with them by the end of the day."

"Aren't we being hasty?"

"Nah, they would be desperate to get what they want which will help in fastening the decision-making process."

"Hm... you are learning fast Lucas, very good."

"I knew you were testing me, Uncle John. I have to be extra careful because of this reason."

"Alright, I am getting bored, you two. What should I do now?" Jerry asked while picking his nose.

"Why don't you practice your tank skills? If the Kobolds are coming, then you would have to protect us all." Lucas asked.

"Hah! See how I bash their skulls in without anyone's help. Oh, for the time till this furnace becomes cold enough, why don't you spar with me?"

"Jerry, enough." John stopped Jerry in his attempt to spar with Lucas again.

Lucas chuckled awkwardly, he wanted to spar too yet things were not certain anymore.

"You know I want to Jerry, but for everyone's safety, I can't right now. You don't know how this thing inside me has started to steam up again."

"Much better, you can blow this steam off with a spar with me." Jerry was persistent in his ways and John had long stopped telling him a piece of his mind.

"Jerry... I don't think it will end with only a spar... you know?" Lucas let some of the darkness that he was controlling all this time come out. It was the only way to make Jerry stop.

Just when it came out, Lucas knew what was going to happen next, the mark on his hand would ache for a second and then he would feel the intent to kill anything in front of him. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

It was not something only he would feel, Jerry felt a chill down his spine by the way Lucas was looking at him. As if Lucas was a predator hungry for days only to see a little lamb like himself to play and eat at the same time.

"Ah... I think I have helped enough for the day. Goodbye!"

Lucas's eyes moved with the running Jerry who went up the stairs faster than how he traveled in that darkness.
