'Weird why did Osfor say that no student was allowed beyond the fourth floor …there was no teacher there anyway…well I'll just have to leave this place putting my magic signal here will let the dungeon acknowledge me as a conqueror and let me teleport away from it.'
Right before I touched the crystal it crumbled and broke.
'Well, this is not good…it seems that I am hated by expensive looking crystals…'
Before I could finish that thought a black magic circle appeared beneath the empty throne.
Then a hand appeared…big burly and red…it was large and with claws to make it seem even scarier.
It grabbed the floor and pulled itself up.
What was next to appear were two long horns curving at the end Placed on top of an ugly looking face
The face looked intimidating with sharp fangs instead of teeth and long pointy ears…red eyes and a sharp nose. It looks like a monster of nightmares.
The creature pulled itself completely up from the black Mahojin.
It stood 4 meters tall and was ridiculously fit. With muscles bulging everywhere. On his left hand was a long and heavy looking spear that seemed to have been made from an unknown metal. An eerie aura seeped from it further increasing the pressure from this thing…it was undoubtedly demonic. And it gave the exact same feeling that my sword gave.
'Good. a lesser pure demon.'
The creature spoke with an incomprehensible tongue.
But I clearly understood what happened…it seems that this entire dungeon was made ages ago with the control of the teachers it was tamed. However, when the crystal broke it seems that the dungeon regained its freedom and recalled its former guardian…why did this thing have to happen is for me to find out after I defeat this thing?
The creature seemed to have lost its patience because I failed to answer whatever gibberish he was spouting and decided to go for the offense.
The demon took a pose where he moved the spear with his right hand horizontally behind his side and taking a forwarded step with his left leg aiming with his left hand toward me and preparing to lunge himself toward me.
Time slowed down. With a speed far surpassing anything I ever witnessed the spear was in front of me.
Immediately using Shunpo to move away from the piercing blow the demon seemed perplexed because I dodged its initial charge. Repositioning itself it took the same stance.
Not falling for the same trick I activated the second form of my sword. He must have felt a connection to the sword because when I changed its form the Demon flinched.
Charging again at me I took note of his speed and sidestepped his lunge. I slashed diagonally from down left to upper right. The slash connected and took down his left arm. Screaming its lungs out the demon jumped backward and reposition itself. It drew more aura from its spear and started spinning it with one hand. The second he stopped the spinning he slashed with his spear horizontally directing the slash at me.
The aura that was gathering earlier formed a horizontal slash and traversed the distance in a blinding speed. Again taking the easy way out I used Shunpo and closed the distance between me and the demon cutting away at his other arm and fully ignoring the slash that went past my original position and crashed on the door entrance behind me caving it in.
I have to admit that this new technique is almost similar to short distance teleportation it feels too easy to fight using it.
The demon still not believing what just happened. Kept wailing and screaming in the same incomprehensible voice. Kneeling down the demon brought its head close to my eye level. Perhaps giving up. The demon only groaned from pain losing all of his fighting spirits.
Ending its short lived life I brought my sword down on its neck. Where its head rolled a few meters away from its body. The demon took on fire after it was decapitated announcing its departure from this world.
The spear as expected was not vaporized.
'Good it's been long since I fed this blade'
"Feast."
My blade changed its form into its scimitar form then the tip grew and shaped itself like a mouth and fully covered the spear munching and crushing it. My blade 'ate' the spear and added its demonic energy to its own.
"A good find. It's been years since I last fed you. These type of demons are very hard to find. But I wonder why would it be here of all places?"
"Asura-Kun where are you… it's getting out of hands here we can't hold on any longer we need to use stronger spells and if you are still under the dungeon it might crash down on you I can't seem to find you here tell me did you leave the dungeon yet?." Osfor said with a concerned tone.
I answered rapidly
"Well some complication happened and the crystal broke before I could leave…a pure demon was summoned here. But don't worry I took care of him…although the exit is blocked I don't think I can leave back that way…"
"A pure demon!!? My boy how did you even beat it…well considering you are my and Greetman's disciple it should be normal ke-ke-ke….well try teleporting out of the dungeon it should work now even if the crystal is destroyed, the dungeon guardian is killed, so it should be no different from a normal cave."
"Alright, I will try teleporting out of here."
"…"
'Hmm, it seems to be hectic up there… well, no time to dawdle around let's just leave…ah, wait…hehe, why not try that…"
I walked back to the entrance where the four statues were standing. At first, I hesitated to complete their circles fearing that they might attack but now that I can teleport away even if worst comes to worst I can just leave.
Finishing the magic circle on the chest of the closest statue the female elf.
At first, nothing happened….but after a moment its eyes shone blue and the statue looked at me then knelt.
A link was formed between me and the statue and I was able to immediately understand what they were.
These statues were supposedly sentinels assigned to this dungeon. They are ancient war artifacts that used to guard the life of their benefactor, in this case, the life of the one that granted them life.
They represent four heroes that have aided a great king in taking down a mighty demon. They lost their lives as to give the others a chance to live…true heroes in my opinion. Yet why elf? Aren't elves supposed to be a myth…there never was an evidence of them ever existing…perhaps this was just the imagination of the sculptor who made these statues.
Adding features of his own…he must have been smoking some weed.
These statues somehow were placed here in order to keep the demons from leaving the throne room. If a summoned demon ever was to step closer to them they will automatically activate and attack it. To keep it from leaving this room.
Activating the other sentinels I telepathically ordered them to get closer to the middle of the hall which they complied with without a problem. But before they could group they stopped working as I noticed that my mana was instantly depleted…they require an enormous amount of mana to move around …
Activating mana flux the sentinels were brought back to 'life'.
This time however numerous runes were shining on their bodies.
Remembering the teleportation spell that Osfor-sensei usually uses. I added a bit of tweaks and modification to it to make it larger and enable it to teleport greater masses. In an instant we were all teleported away from that dark cave.
