The entire room erupts into jumbled words and mixed conversations all going on at the same. I keep hearing the same words pop up and stick out through the noise of all the voices.
"One-hundred times?!"
"Does that make him stronger than us?"
"But he's just a child?"
"How can anyone have one-hundred times physical prowess?!"
King Arthur slams his hand down on the table, cracking the table and the floor beneath it.
"Enough! Yes, he's powerful, but he lacks the experience to utilize it! But this meeting isn't to gawk or be blown away by his strength, or anyone's weakness! It's to find out how we can use OUR strength to overcome the X-Class dungeon!"
Arthur speaks loudly and clearly.
"Now, if anyone has any suggestions or ideas for the dungeon, you may say what you must."
He quickly pops his shoulder and looks around the room. Lamorak quickly stands up alongside a man with dark blue armor with a large black shield.
"Galahad and I should be able to defend the front of the party. His shield and my defensive skills should be enough to hold off an enemy or two while everyone else tears them down, but bosses would be the hard part."
Lamorak says as everyone but my guild, and Alesti, nods. Merlin stands up next.
"I could supply healing and buffs for the party. I'm sure I could keep us all alive, but we would need to move slowly and carefully."
Merlin looks to Arthur and several other knights. Arthur stands up and looks to the other guilds.
"Our guild can hold our own in a fight against one creature in the dungeon, but we need to treat each other as though we're all part of the same guild. And as incentive, every guild that helps us will receive fourty-Million gold."
Arthur says as Azeroth and Vex quickly look to me and smile. I immediately can tell exactly what they're thinking. The man with the black mask sighs and stands up.
"The Reapers are masters of assassination and killing things quickly. If the main force can distract them, our items can bring the enemies down to our level."
He says as 2 others beside him stand up and nod. 5 other men quickly stand up and nod.
"The Chosen are masters of healing and supplying aid. We have two members that have <
Arthur nods and smiles.
"Well, what do the rest of you have for your ideas?"
He asks while looking at those in his own guild that haven't stood up yet. A few stand up and look at us. Lucan speaks up.
"Lancelot, Safir, and Modred can all take up the front of the attack force, alongside Arthur. Galahad and Lamorak will defend at the front of everyone. Percival, Gareth, Gawain, and Lionell will all supply support and assist the main attack force. Tristan, Bedivere, and I will all defend the healers and support. The Reapers will attack our enemies from the shadows while we all hold their attention. That only leaves five people unaccounted for."
She says while looking to us then Alesti and the woman with the veil. Alesti stands up and pops his neck.
"I'll play scout, I'll make sure to look ahead and keep an eye out for more enemies. I'm sure Erita will be with me considering how fast she is."
He replies while looking towards the woman with the veil. She quickly nods and stands up as everyone looks to us. I slowly stand up with Vex and Azeroth.
"Uh, we will assist the main attack force. I think Azeroth shouldn't go into the dungeon."
I say as King Arthur nods and looks to my fellow guild mates.
"And will they be hanging back as well?"
He asks as I nod. Mia laughs and quickly jump onto my back. One of The Reapers quickly speaks up.
"Poor kid, probably doesn't realize that we may all die from this. Wish I could see the look on her face if we all do, I imagine losing someone would be pricele-"
Alesti appears in front of him with his dagger pressed against his throat.
"I don't believe you want to keep talking, looking as though you seem to be the most likely to die."
Alesti says while squatting on the table. Out of the corner of my eye I see Arthur smiling and trying not to laugh. Arthur quickly clears his throat and speaks.
"That's enough. The X-Class gate is a few days from here, so we'll be relaxing today then heading out tomorrow morning. You all have time before we head out, so get supplies if needed."
Arthur says as he waves his hand.
"Dismissed."
His words signal everyone's quick departure from the room. While I'm starting to leave, someone walks up to me and grabs my wrist.
"Dante, was it? I wish to speak to you in private."
His soft voice doesn't bring any attention to us. I wave to my friends to wait then follow him. As we enter a room he quickly closes the door and removes his helmet. He has long black hair and dark red eyes.
"I don't quite believe what I've heard about you. I want to see your strength for myself."
He replies as he pulls over a table and sets his arm on it, clearly to arm-wrestle. I sigh and sit down and put my palm to his.
"Go."
I see him struggling as I slowly and easily push his arm to the table. His sharp metal gauntlets cut me slightly, but it doesn't change the result.
[-100 HP]
[+100 HP]
"Wow, you really are incredibly strong. My name is Modred, since introductions are in order."
He says quickly shaking my hand and smiling. I stare at him blankly before pulling my hand away.
"Well I need to get back to my friends."
I quickly stand up and start to leave, but Modred sighs.
"All that potential, really sad that you're walking straight into a trap."
I quickly stop and look over my shoulder.
"What?"
