Astasia had requested to raid an S rank dungeon alone and Rudolf was quite shocked to hear this news. At first, he didn't want to believe a girl who barely signed up as a hunter could solo an A rank dungeon, but after remembering the training yesterday, his doubts were cleared.
Since she had a date to attend after the dungeon raid, she wore the exquisite red mini cami dress she bought matching it with glittery heels. Overall, she looked befitting for a cruel queen.
'This is the Astasia I know' Jack somehow felt relieved seeing her in such an outfit.
In front of the dungeon, Astasia stood there, ready to go in but Rudolf personally greeted her, "It's nice to meet you. My name is Rudolf, head of the hunters association," he says, eyeing her up and down. Why was she wearing such a fancy outfit when she's about to raid? Though, he couldn't exactly voice that out.
"What's someone like you doing out here to greet me?" Astasia was blunt and was known to have a short temper, but he didn't think that she wouldn't even at least try to be respectful towards him.
"It's a simple greeting. A simple one. In the future, please feel free to come to my building anytime. You are also invited to join the meetings regarding the dungeons,"
"Why would I go through the trouble? I don't need such things. If you want to talk to me, then he will give you my number," she pointed to Jack, who sigh at her actions.
She's always leaving all the troublesome work to him since he's the only guardian, "This is her number. Please contact her tomorrow. She will be busy today,"
Her attitude infuriated Rudolf's secretary, but he could do nothing. Rudolf specifically instructed him to be good, but why? Is she so important to act nice to?
When she came inside, a barrier instantly formed, and the gate suddenly shook, "What's going on??" Rudolf questioned the gate keepers, "I have no idea sir! This never happened before!"
When a person enters a dungeon, a barrier is typically formed after a minute. One cannot leave the dungeon until the boss is killed, but in this case, not only did a barrier form but it's magical energy drastically increased, "What's the rank?" Rudolf questioned one of the gate keepers.
"S-sir... It says it's immeasurable..."
Everyone had a pale look in their face. Immeasurable doesn't mean that the device is malfunctioning. Rather, it meant that the rank of the dungeon is higher than an SS-rank and they can't even begin to imagine what kind of monsters she will face in there.
Alone.
"Fuck. This never happened before. I don't think even she can handle a dungeon like that alone..."
While everyone was panicking about the rank of the dungeon and the safety of Astasia, a man sensed a familiar presence.
"She's here," he smiled to himself, getting up from his throne, "go welcome our dearest guest."
An army of cyclones and golems rushed to Astasia whose face held excitement, "It's about time I get some fun." She took out a sword from her dimensional storage and began an endless battle. She kept destroying everything that came across her way while also growing in power.
"My queen, allow me to help you," Jack stated.
"Don't you dare move from your spot. These are mine to kill," the bloodlust was so strong that even her own guardian trembled in fear.
How did someone as ruthless as her managed to get their hands on the power of guardian?
After defeating an army of golems and cyclones, another wave came. This time, it was a giant being whose body glowed due to the lava inside. His arms were similar to the legs of an octopus, and he had two heads with one horn on each head.
"You sure found yourself a hideous pet, Lucifer," Astasia put her sword away and summoned her guardians. She didn't feel the need to take care of someone's pet, so she decided to let her guardians take care of it.
"My queen! What may we-" Jackie, Jacks sister, and many other guardians kneeled in front of her and humbly asked for a task. However, after seeing the huge creature in front of them, they knew what they were going to do, "She's really as heartless as ever," Jackie sighed.
"You're still a bitch, I see. I thought you had gotten softer after migrating to Earth," Lucifer appeared, a powerful demon who lived in Aether. He ruled over a place called, "The Black Death" and he tried taking over Astasia's land, but he failed.
In Aether, the races were not diverse. There were demons, elves, humans, fairies, nymphs, and many other races. However, demigods stood at the top of the hierarchy then comes the demons and then elves. These three stood at the top and were constantly in a war... Until Astasia changed the course of history over a reasoning that isn't even worth a reason.
She was a human who enjoyed traveling and exploring the secrets of the world. While traveling, she made friends with an elf and tried to live in the Elven kingdom in secrecy, however she was caught within a few days. Elves were the most hateful of other races, so the punishment was:
A banishment of her Elf friend, and a death penalty for Astasia.
She wasn't angry about the death penalty or the banishment of her friend, but rather, at the time she was being taken away by the elves, she was eating her favorite meal. When her food is wasted, especially her favorite food, it feels like she can destroy the world.
Which is why she almost wiped out the Elven kingdom in the map. If it wasn't for her friend and her guardians stopping her, the elf's wouldn't exist anymore. From then on, she decided to make a city for herself where ANYONE is welcome.
It didn't take longer than two years for her to establish a new kingdom for herself, and she named it, "Titan city"
It was the only diverse kingdom in Aether, so when other races heard about it, they migrated to the new city. People of other races fell in love, made half born babies, but most of all, it angered the rulers of every race for stealing their people.
At the time, only the elf's knew how strong she was but the others didn't. They tried to attack her city but every single races miserably failed. Those who dared to attack her suffered from a huge loss, and so her name spread across the world. She became a living legend.
Lucifer, the ruler of the demons, was the last person to attempt to attack her city, and they too, failed. However, Titan city did suffer from heavy casualties, for the first time. It pissed of Astasia so she personally went to greet Lucifer.
At that time, she challenged him in front of his men. In the end, he lost too and that made her feel better.
In the beginning, she never planned on killing him. She just wanted to humiliate him in front of his underlings so they know how weak their boss is.
Ever since then, no one ever dared to try to take over her city again. The demigods were the only ones wise enough to not attack her. Or rather, no one really knows about the demigods since they have their own world that lets nobody in or out. However, Astasia wasn't really curious about their existence so she left them alone.
And that is how Astasia became a legend in Aether.
