These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 253: Completion percentage
When it was all over, the number of Abyss Demons had been greatly decreased.
There were still more Abyss Demons in the distance and it seemed like there were more that were appearing out of thin air, but it was far less than what had been here this afternoon.
At the same time, there were far more sand people that were here since they had also been spawning.
Seeing them spawn like this, it really sunk in that this was nothing more than a virtual field of the final battle between the sand people of this world and the Abyss Demon when they had been invaded.
This was nothing more than a game at this point…
It was also the reason why the village was able to exist.
There were boundaries in a dungeon and since the battle was restricted to this battlefield, it meant that the Abyss Demons would never reach that village. It meant that they really were the safest as long as they remained in the village.

Though it did seem like things could change in this dungeon.
After all, there were far more sand people than there were Abyss Demons on the battlefield now.
With the advantage in numbers that they had, the sand people were able to surround the Abyss Demons and push them back even more. It seemed like the sand people clearly had the upper hand in this battle with the numbers advantage that they had.
If we continued helping, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the sand people would be able to completely push back the Abyss Demons.
Though in this dungeon that had infinitely spawning NPCs, it wasn't as if this situation would continue forever.
At the same time, there was nothing to gain from us continuously killing the Abyss Demons.
We got the loot that we wanted and we had vented our emotions, so that was enough for now.
What was more important was figuring a way out of this Hidden Dungeon.
And we already knew what that way was since it was already offered to us when we entered this dungeon. It was the quest that had appeared after we encountered the sand people.
As such, we should continue deeper into this dungeon to see what else was in this Hidden Dungeon.
But we were surprised when we came back to the sand people village.
That was because it had changed from the last time that we had been here.
"It's bigger, isn't it?" I asked the two following me.
Both of them gave sounds of agreement in response.
The village of tents had clearly gotten much bigger and there seemed to be far more sand people that were wandering around now. At the same time, it wasn't just women, the elderly, and children that were wandering around the camp now.
There were far more male adult sand people that were wandering around in the camp.
It was clear that something had changed during the time that we had been gone.
When we asked around, we quickly figured out what it was.
"Because of the changing situation on the battlefield, we were able to return. The tide is completely in our favour now, it's only a matter of time before the Abyss Demons are completely pushed back."
"I'm just glad that you're back, I was so worried about you…"
"Dad, you have to keep your promise. You told me that you would play sandball with me tomorrow."
The sounds from the happy families came after I asked them what was happening.
It seemed that we did have an effect on this Hidden Dungeon with what we did on the battlefield. It seemed that this was part of the scenario as there was a notification that appeared.
Completion percentage: 5%.
While we weren't certain what this meant exactly, we did have a clue.
The quest that we had been given was to put the king of the sand people out of his misery, but there was a second part to that quest. It was to help the sand people kill as many Abyss Demons as we could.
It seemed that this quest wasn't just the way to leave this Hidden Dungeon, but also seemed to have an effect on the entire Hidden Dungeon.
Though we didn't really believe that doing this would have a permanent effect on the Hidden Dungeon.
At the very least it seemed like we were able to change the dungeon in some way while also completing our quest.
So I had a thought…
But before I could say this thought out loud, Wang Rong was the one that said, "What if we kill more of the Abyss Demons?"
He said what I had been thinking before I could say it.
I looked at Iris after Wang Rong said this and she nodded in agreement to this.
So we turned around and headed back to the battlefield.
I wanted to see if it was possible to completely save the sand people. If there was, then it might provide a clue as to how we could save our own world from the invasion of the Abyss.
Since we were determined, we didn't hold back anything.
I had the Echo Bat controlling the Abyss Demons to fight each other while Wang Rong and Iris wreaked havoc on the lines of the Abyss Demons while having the ones that I controlled cover them.
Along with the illusion ability that I had, it was easy for us to wipe out the Abyss Demons.
But the real reason was because there were the sand people there holding back most of the Abyss Demons.
We certainly wouldn't have been able to slaughter the Abyss Demons all on our own.
We just continued slaughtering the Abyss Demons into the night without a single moment of rest and when the sun finally came up, it seemed like the Abyss Demons were done.
The Abyss Demons had been almost completely wiped out, but there were still some that were spawning and it didn't seem like it would stop.
This was just how the dungeon was set up.
But at least the sand people that spawned were enough to take care of the Abyss Demons that spawned before they could do anything. It was fine to leave the rest to them.
Only when we came back, we were disappointed…
