Flame uses his close space as his advantage killing as many undead as possible while Kashi trying to catch up. Flame trying to keep up the fire as his source of light from his right hand while slashing the monster in his left hand. Kashi who avoiding the bones scattered across the floor while carrying his large backpack. "Wait for me!".... As if Flame can hear me.
Kashi sees a light in a distance. It is light blue and it is shining. With so little intel, this might be a way out or this can be an obvious trap. But this is the only path with no alternative path. So they have no choice but to proceed carefully.
Within the last undead monster been slain by a chain-dagger. As they approach the light, it shows another big room, blue flame showing off the light, with a huge magic circle on the ground. On the front, it's like an old strange symbol on the wall. A black star with one purple wing on the left side…
Kashi's eyes lighten up as his jaw begins to drops. Then he ran toward the crystal that shows off the light. Actually, this isn't a crystal. "M- mythril!" He couldn't believe it in his eyes. It is one of the rarest metals that are better than steel. He uses his gloves as he collects mythril.
While Flame couldn't understand what Kashi is doing, but he doesn't care since everyone came here for a reason. As Flame inspected a Magic circle on the ground. It looks old, as well as carving on the wall. There are countless symbols all over a wall. Is that a language? An ancient one that nobody ever recorded?
"Alright, this is the last one." Kashi finally relaxes after hauling the metal. He looks around as he sees a big Black star symbol. He felt eerie as if it's want to drag him into darkness. He wanted to take a closer look but then as soon he steps inside the magic circle. It lights up showing a space-time warp. Rocks start to lift as his backpack float. Kashi trying to grab the stuff but then he begins to float. "Whoa, why am I floating!?" Flame trying to grab Kashi but he also accidentally step on the circle as he begins to float. Then they teleport somewhere outside of the dungeon. Flame quickly lands on the ground while Kashi fell onto his face. "O-owww..."
Flame looks around only to see the forest and you can see the dungeon where we came from at the distance. Is this a hint of clearing a dungeon? No, they're probably using that as an escape route. Why? Flame thought filled with questions… Well, no matter I can just report my mission.
Kashi scratches his nose, "Ouch! That was clearly unexpected." He stands up. "Hey! Isn't that entrance from the dungeon. That means we got out!." The carriage is still there large enough to hold 8 people, however, people were killed by a mysterious person. Kashi hurried to the horse that's resting on the ground while the leach wrap around the tree. Flame taps Kashi's shoulder demanding a paper and a pen.
"We should go back, "it's getting late, we don't want any more troublesome at night." Kashi nods while patting the horse.
~~~~
While we are on the road, Kashi is driving. Then he suddenly stops moving. Flame got up to see what's wrong as he sees multiple people surrounding the vehicle. As like they're plotting to set this up. Six people? All of them are armed.
"Haha, What's going on sir?" Kashi scratching his head while controlling the horse.
A bandit who appears to be a leader scans the vehicle only to see one person and a gigantic backpack. 'So this blond guy isn't here? This will be easy" He thought to his head. He cleared his throat, "So if you give me the payment, I'll let you go." then he says in his head 'Just kidding I'll kill them' With a smirk on his face.
"I don't remember paying a road fee when we come here. Why do you think I am paying?' Kashi shuttered hoping this situation doesn't get worst. The gang drew out his sword smiling. "Yeah, I made it the worst decision…"
All of a sudden, a chain wraps one of the bandits as they couldn't break free only to be greeted by a kick. "What the.." He noticed Flame was apparently knocked out as he standing on his chest as the person wrapped up by a chain. Then he unwraps the chain.. "You!" All could he think is revenge. Recklessly charging at them swinging him onto his side. Flame ducks as he swings his chain knocking off his sword as Flame does a high roundhouse kick, kicking his head really hard as a bandit knocked off. Four more to go.
"What you're doing there's only one person! Go you two!!" Commands the leader. As three does a side by side preparing to attack them at the same time. Flame hesitated to wonder when to attack. One begins to attack holding a sword up high as the person swings downward. He blocks the first attack with one of his daggers while the other person aims for his back. Ordinary people would die due to many people. Flame, however, trained martial art all of his life. While repelling the first attack, he quickly jumps over on to person's back pushing towards the bandit where the bandit strikes. The second bandit had to dodge to avoid stabbing his comrade. The third person lunges forward to Flame side aiming for his gut as Flame quickly parry using his chain, as Flame immediately using his right kick as swing using hook kick, hitting the person's nose as it breaks. The third person fell onto the ground screaming. Two more..
"H-how!?" The second person fell onto the ground shivering in fear. As the first person unsure what to do.
"We'll do 'that'" The Leader shouted as the anger begins to rise. The two underlings nodded. "Nobody told me that person was that good!" He said in his thought.
The two bandits begin to circle around Flame. What are they plotting? Then the first bandit begins to strike as he doing consecutive slashes. Flame block them all as he took a step back.. As Flame notices bandit smirk. He quickly looks back.
"Now!" The first bandit yelled. While the second bandit holding a sort of item bomb with yellow crystal enhancement as electricity begins to explode. Blasting two of the Bandit as leaving them unconscious.
"Yes!" That should've killed him." However as the smoke fades, you can see the chain is on fire as it heats up. "W-what?" Flame looks at the leader with cold-hearted stares as if he can kill him any second. Then the Leader felt a shoulder tap as he turns around only to see Kashi.
"Pro tip. During the fight, you shouldn't ignore other people." Kashi ended him with a punch as the leader blast him off hitting the trees. "Phew, that should do it." Wiping off the dust on his glove.
Flame is astonished seeing Kashi does a decent punch. He can fight but doesn't really show it. Why?... Then Kashi shows the note "What should we do with them?" I told him to leave it. We need to get back to the Guild first thing.
