Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I didn't stand still watching all this going on without doing something, and also Diana reacted as fast as me. my spears might be partially trapped, but I threw them towards the direction of the tails nonetheless, making the monster's huge body twist over its own, disturbing its current momentum.

The next attack came swiftly when Diana's sword, covered in a layer of fire, appeared on top of these tails, cutting them from the roots, one by one.

"Roar!"

The monster lost one of its deadliest and most annoying weapons, and it lost its tails in the most painful way. I didn't stop there, as I snapped my finger again, freeing more spears out of this monster's abdomen, and making it much more twisted over itself.

"Attack with every skill you have!"

"Attack with every skill you have!"

I suddenly shouted over my players, while I threw my spear once more towards the nearby ground, adding more twist to this monster's large body. The next moment, many skills fell upon the monster, making it lose Hp constantly while roaring, without the ability to do anything.

Every time it tried to bite me or my demon, a violent fist welcomed its head, smashing it to the ground, while our attacks fell heavily upon its body. my spears acted as a trapping force to its body, twisting it more and more with each attack I made.

Just as there were only a handful of spears left at its abdomen, I stopped attacking my spears, and left the rest of the job to the others, calmly watching the ongoing fight, and catching my breaths.

This fight was really sudden, hard, and strange. I didn't yet know from where this monster came from, or what the story was about.

However, in less than half an hour of constant attacking, this monster finally fell on the ground dead, declaring our victory; a hard earned one!

"Sigh, is this the boss of this dungeon or what?" one of my players said out loud, while I also felt his question was reasonable. I glanced around me, but the darkness only retreated for a hundred meters, before it stopped.

"It's not the dungeon boss, it's just a minor boss," I said with a depressed tone, as this wasn't the good news everyone, me included, was waiting to hear.

"What is that? is that a swamp?" one of my players pointed to the ground, where the darkness retreated from. I glanced and I managed to see it clearly from my high position.

"It's a small pool of filth that looked like a swamp," I replied, while I felt logic now. this monster was an aquatic one, a one that couldn't live in air for long.

This small piece of swamp was very bad news. It was so small to be easily hidden anywhere around us without even knowing its presence. I took a deep breath, after all this win was a hard earned one.

"Rest for a while, we will continue to walk after five," I said, as I was the most tired one of them. At the same time, Diana looked exhausted, as this fight had its great toll on her.

We all rested, while my players kept whispering from time to time, asking themselves about the dark future this dungeon was carrying for us. I didn't comment or judge on their fear and doubt, as it was normal to be afraid of such an extraordinary dungeon.

"Is this dungeon looking normal to you?" I suddenly asked Diana, and my question silenced everyone around the two of us. My players seemed very interested in the answer Diana was about to give.

"It's not," Diana simply gave this short answer, without adding any more. I just nodded, as I had a strange feeling about this dungeon, as this wasn't a normal dungeon at all.

"Alright, let's keep moving."

I gave the order, as I was the first to stand up, headed towards my demon, which looked slightly angry and upset. I knew why it felt this way, as it had it tough against such monsters. I patted on his shoulders as I said:

"Don't worry, this monster was strange, so don't feel upset."

He just glanced and nodded to me, before I jumped to stand on his shoulders, took out one pearl and ingested it. my hunger value kept depleting fast each passing minute, and we were inside this dungeon for such a long time already.

"What monsters are we going to fight next?" one of the players asked, and no one here had a clue about the answer.

We passed by the swamp, and when we passed it, my mind had retrieved the recent memories of that brutal fight with that monster.

"Roar!"

Again this cursed roar appeared, which made everyone had a little scare, me included. "Alright, it will be the same as before, ready up your deadliest skills, and be ready!" I shouted, as I sent my spear towards the direction of that roar again.

Another brutal battle erupted between me and that monster, as I and my demon took most of the pressure, while Diana acted as the head of the spear, and we all were supported by my players from behind.

This fight wasn't as stressful as I initially thought, and we did great this time. it might be due to our knowledge of what we were facing, however that didn't take anything from the credit for me and my team.

"Alright, we know we will face this monster for the next hour, so be ready and do as you just did right now," I said, trying to encourage and praise my players.

Their faces were really a delight to my eyes, as they were looking like the veterans I always dreamt of having. This dungeon might seem nightmarish, however it was a great chance for my players to grow and mature.

The next hour was stressful, as we kept facing this kind of monster for five times in a row! After we passed the first hour, I waited for any change to occur, but strangely nothing happened.

The second hour passed like that, and the third one. Gradually we had developed an understanding on the strategy to fight, as we started to act in great synchrony without making any mistakes at all.

Just as the fourth hour ended, we were heading straight without the need to rest towards the next monster to kill when a change suddenly occurred!

The previous group of monsters we had fought before this fish-like one appeared again! packs of werewolves appeared in greater numbers than ever! I counted hundreds of them howling loudly and tens of them appearing in my sight.

With them, the bats appeared in greater numbers, and the moment this happened, Diana didn't hesitate to use her AOE skill, to push many assassins to appear from the shades!

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

We really were lacking this monster, and it wasn't only one, but five at least! With it the whole monsters we fought so far had appeared, in greater numbers, without any warnings, making the fight right now really stressful.

And that wasn't all!

The darkness around us started to march, step by step, slowly and silently like a veteran killer, heading straight to our location!

Inside it, I could see the shades of many trolls, the shadows of moving branches of these awful trees, and the shadows of vampires sleeping on the ground!

The whole dungeon literally woke up at this moment and decided to join the fight to exterminate us!

That would happen over my dead body!

"Muster up your courage boys, I want you to do one thousand percent better than usual! This dungeon wants us dead, and we won't let that happen! not after we reached this far! Let's kill them and clear this dungeon, once and for all! After me!!"

My sound appeared like a bright sun in this darkness, calling forth all their courage and desire to prove themselves, and I led the charge with my demon.

"You go and kill those trolls, then come back to me. be wary of those trees, and these dirty fishes!"

I then jumped, to the back, while my demon ventured alone into the darkness. I didn't wait to fall on the ground, as I started sending my spears towards the trees around us, killing them all, and killing many monsters along the way as well!

Their numbers were big in a very narrow space, which gave my spears the chance to really prove their worth! Over thousand spears were enough to kill a troll from one attack, not a mere werewolf!
