After being pushed to the 'surface' or the floor of the dungeon, I realized I had to think fast. Surely the assassins that were battling the monsters heard the loud noises coming from over here.
After a few seconds, I was back inside of the dungeon, as I looked down, it looked like the hole in the floor was never there. While staring at the ground, I was woken from my daze after I heard a loud thud. As I looked up, I saw a long saber just an inch away from my neck.
"How could I be so careless to have been caught off guard?" I said to myself.
"So this is where you were hiding huh? I don't know what weird things you were doing back here but you totally gave yourself away! Blame yourself for dying!" A slim man said as he slashed the saber previously aimed at my neck towards my head.
I quickly dodged downwards, well, really, I just bowed so that my head wouldn't be chopped off. After dodging the swift attack, I quickly dashed out from behind the wall in hopes of changing the situation. As I ran back into the corridor, I quickly turned to my left and was met with a horrible stench.
As I looked forward, I was greeted with a pile of bodies, specifically the monsters. I paid no mind to the bodies as I swiftly spun to my left again and aimed at the wall in front of me.
"Hall of Flames!"
I quickly cast [Hall of Flames] in front of the wall I was previously hiding behind without sparing a single second. Even though I was ways stronger than those assassins, I was caught off guard due to my carelessness.
As I cast the spell, a painful cry followed after the flames erupted. The same slim bodied man that previously tried to kill me crawled his way out of the fire with half of his body on fire. As he crawled from in the fire, he began rolling on the ground over and over trying to put the fire out.
"What the h*ll is this?" he shouted at me as we rolled against the ground.
"Who told you to try and attack me!" I said as I cast [Fireball] at the assassin's body that was left untouched. As I cast the spell, the assassin's face became filled with fear as he saw the fireball flying towards him.
The assassin quickly got up and tried his best to flee from the fireball's path, but he was too slow. The fireball planted itself on the assassin's back; lighting his entire backside on fire.
"Ohh...that's gotta hurt..." I said as my face scrunched up and I shuddered. I would hate to have my a** lit on fire, and that's not even the worst part. If he survives this, he wouldn't dare about having any kids!
After 30 seconds, the assassin's body came to a halt and stopped moving completely. Upon seeing this, a notification appeared in front of me.
"Nice!" I said as I read the information that appeared on the window in front of me.
"Oi, didn't you hear Daron screaming just now? Did he maybe find something?" A voice shouted from around the corner. As the voice drew closer, a bulky man appeared from behind the corner while holding a gigantic crude blade on his back along with a slim female carrying 2 daggers.
As they came around the corner, they immediately spotted 'Daron' lying lifeless on the floor with spots of fire burning on his back. Both the faces of the assassins immediately transformed into ones of rage.
"Daron! What happened to my Daron?" the female assassin said as she began to run towards his(Daron's) body. By the way she addressed him(Daron), it seems those two(Daron and the female assassin) were in a relationship.
As the female assassin said this, the bulky man behind here wore a complicated look on his face.
"O, what's this?" I said while staring at the expression of the bulky man behind the woman. It seemed like the bulky man probably had feelings for the female assassin.
As the bulky man stared at the body of the now-deceased assassin, a hidden but noticeable smirk appeared on his face.
'Finally, my chance has come! If I show my power to Casandra(the female assassin) by killing this scrawny kid, surely she'll fall for me!' the bulky man thought to himself as a devilish smirk formed on his face.
He then brought his sword and pointed it at the scrawny kid in front of him.
"There's no way you killed my friend(Daron) that easily, you're probably severely injured and hiding it, so there's no use acting all calm and composed!" the bulky man shouted at the kid in front of him. He(bulky guy) was filled with confidence, there was no way would lose to such a scrawny kid with little to no meat on his bones!
"W-What are you talking about? How could I be injured, impossib-b *cough* le..." I said as I fell onto the floor. I thought that it would be fun to trick this guy and put him in his place. I could basically fill his confidence and arrogance overflowing from over here.
"Look kid, just kneel and kowtow to me 3 times and I'll let you go! Hahaha, how about that!" the bulky man said to me in an arrogant tone. I was already getting annoyed at this point so I just stood up.
"Hall of Flames!"
I shouted as I cast [Hall of Flames], to think I actually thought about suffering through that just to play with this guy. What is wrong with my head, is it the system influencing me or something?
As I cast [Hall of Flames] both the bulky man and the female assassin were caught off guard. Since the woman was lying on the ground and crying next to the body(Daron), she didn't have enough time to retreat, so she died miserably. Even though she managed to crawl out of the fire, half her face was melting and shrouded in dark orange flames.
After a few seconds, she laid on the ground lifelessly and died the same way as her lover. After seeing that, my mood was immediately soured, not because of the gruesome condition the female assassin was in, but how I managed to make both of them died next to each other.
"You brat! How dare you kill Casandra!" the bulky man shouted before dashing at me with immense speed.
Since my mood was already soured, I quickly cast [Flame Blade] 2 times at the bulky man's knees.
"Hah! Do you think a tiny blade of fire will hurt m-" the bulky man shouted while running before feeling a terribly pain in his knees. It felt like someone had split both his knees in two!
As the bulky man felt the sharp pain in his knees, he was immediately halted in his movement as he fell on the ground. His legs had been totally crippled by just two tiny blades of fire! Even though it had happened, the bulky man couldn't believe it himself.
"Now that you can't run anymore, let's get this over with, I'm in a pretty bad mood," I said as I cast [Flame Vortex] and walked away.
As I walked away, I turned around to witness the glorious scene before me. The bulky man was behind sucked into a literal vortex of fire, it was like a tornado had been turned sideways! No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see behind the mysterious vortex of fire!
"Tell your friend, Daron, I said hi in the afterlife for me!" I said as I laughed maniacally while walking towards the exit of the dungeon.
"Wait, don't leave me here! Please! I'll do anything you want, just let me live!" The bulky man pleaded as he was slowly but surely being dragged into the vortex of fire.
"Oh?" I said as I looked back at the bulky man in surprise. Looks like I won't have to go and find the one behind this on my own after all!
"Tell me his name and I'll free you," I said imposingly as I glared at the bulky man.
"Yes, yes, his name is Baron Bolchman! He's the one who sent us on the mission to assassinate you and your friend! We were gonna go for you first and then your friend, but I didn't think you'd be this strong!" The bulky man said. Because he was about to die, he didn't pay attention to how suspicious Axel sounded when he said he would free him.
"Thanks, per our agreement, I shall free you...from your worthless life!" I said slowly before laughing maniacally.
"Wait, Wait! Please! You said you would free me!"
"And that I did. Don't be too greedy." I said before going around the corner and leaving the bulky man to be sucked into an infinite blazing vortex of fire.
