System - Entering the dungeon, in 10...9....8...
Kaelion - Okay guys, we're heading for leveling up, we'll meet soon.
Elira - Byee, Kaelion!
*Kaelion blushes again.
Drevyn - You're so, weird, Kaelion. *Blushes too after looking at Celestra.
Renzo - Says who, even you are blushing.
Drevyn - Shut up!
System - 3...2...1
Kaelion - I'll protect everyone, I'll protect my friends, rescue Vaelis, and I'll fight for Elira.
*Flashback
Back then when I first came into this school, everything was non familiar, the teachers, the students, everything felt weird, I was really childish, emotional and innocent at time, even tho I am still childish but back then was something different. I walked inside the class, told my teacher about me, then just sat beside a random guy. Tried to talk with him, but yeah, I was not so good at making friends. Classes started and I was clueless, as I joined the school after summer vacations. The new faces, I couldn't adapt it. But slowly day by day I did start making friends. But yeah I was a kid, the old friend's voices echoed in my mind. Only to notice, I saw her. She was cute. Beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile, and pretty hair. I could see her everyday. Only to realise, I crushed on her. Few more days passed. I could see a guy sitting with her. Slowly my crush started getting stronger and deeper. The jealous in my tears could be seen clearly, but before anyone could notice, I wiped them up. What could I have done? Nothing. Just saw her, blushed, but she laughed while talking to him, then, I was sad, cried. Eye contacts? They killed me. You could hear my heartbeat even without touching your palms to my chest. I might be a half dead person if I sat beside her. But still, few years passed on with just jealousy in my heart. Felt like my blood burns. But to notice after a few years, they didn't talk again like before. I was relieved. As I was happy but still no dare to talk to her. Started to message her, and became good friends. I rarely saw them talking, still I was jealous, it was more than jealousy I think. Tears dropped down.
*Flashback ends
Drevyn - Kaelion? Why are you crying.
Kaelion - Huhh!
Renzo - What happened? Are you okay?
Kaelion - I don't know.
Drevyn - You're sad again it seems. Why don't you propose her? I know you're thinking of her.
Kaelion - N..No, I... I'm not.
System - Entered the dungeon. Task - Defeat the boss.
Renzo - They didn't tell the boss name this time?
Drevyn - Should we move forward?
All of them started moving forward, their footsteps echoing in the hollow silence of the dungeon. The air was heavy, like something unseen was breathing down their necks.
Kaelion - Drevyn, do you think we can end up together?
Drevyn - What has happened to you all of a sudden?
Renzo - Strange… really strange.
The atmosphere turned eerie. The torches on the walls flickered violently as if afraid of what was about to come.
Drevyn - Wait, the ground has started to shake. What's happening?
Renzo - The dust is all over there, see!
They squint through the cloud of dust. Faint outlines begin to form.
Drevyn - Wooden boxes? No, wait—those seem like tombs!
One by one, their eyes widen as the massive crates line up in front of them.
Drevyn - One… two… three… and four! What are these things?
Kaelion - Guys… it seems like the boxes—something is inside it.
The wooden lids creak, groaning like they haven't been touched for centuries. The air suddenly chills, a pulse of mana spreads through the dungeon.
Renzo - No doubt. Those are our enemies.
The lids blast open—shards of wood fly across. Dark auras shoot out like flames.
Drevyn - They all look the same… but their colors… they're different.
Renzo - Black, Red, Orange… and that one—light blue, shining like glass.
Kaelion - …This aura. Something is familiar. The color, the pressure, the feeling… I've seen this before.
Renzo - Don't you think fighting them is a little more important than thinking about those shit?
Before anyone could answer, the light blue one charged. Its blade arm crackled with thunder as it swung down with a terrifying sound.
CLISHHHHH ⚡
Drevyn - What's that?!
Renzo - A fracturite, obviously!
Drevyn - No… his hands.
Kaelion - Thunder? It looks like a huge thunder blade!
The blade slices through the stone floor like butter, sparks flying. The ground trembles again.
Drevyn - How the hell are we supposed to fight this many?
Renzo - With hands obviously! Wait—I've come up with a plan!
The fracturites let out a screech, their bodies glowing brighter. One jumps high into the air, crashing down with devastating force.
BOOOOM!
Dust and debris explode around them.
Drevyn - I'll die before I follow your plan!
Everyone scatters, rolling and sprinting as the fracturites swing their blades down again and again. The dungeon shook with every strike, the pillars crumbling slowly.
Kaelion - Maybe… at least we should listen. Following him is our choice… but running won't work forever.
*The enemies' auras rose higher and higher, the four fracturites now circling them like predators hunting their prey.
*Nyra's Team
Nyra - Elira, Lyraen, and Celestra, you can see the fracturites right? Glass like color, Green and Dark Blue, show me what you've got.
*Lyraen summons a big pinkish black colored scythe, swinging through her body, like the air is cut itself. "You can't run away from me" said Lyraen.
*Celestra summons blue colored gauntlet, big and heavy, she could control her easily. "Let me blast you off!" Said Celestra.
*Elira summons a blade, fast and deadly. "You can't run away from my Kunai" said Elira.
