"Glad you all could make it."
Sylvia walked back and forth between the 19 children in front of her. They each had a set of armor on with different weapons.
"The Tempest Forest is known for its apperance of low E Rank Dungeons. We would have put you against F rank dungeons, but that would have been too easy.."
"You all will go into the same dungeon at different times with a max of 2 people, making one group into 3. We'll send in drones to record and monitor your progress. Do you understand?"
This time, she let them answer to see if she could find any fear in their voices.
""Yes.""
Everyone seemed to have overcame what fears they had over the past day. Sylvia smiled at this and began forming teams of two and one with 3. Daemon ended up being partners with the only 11th grader here, Sebastian Jewels.
Sebastian was about the same height as Daemon and had brown hair and hazel eyes. He had a normal build of that of a teenaged boy as well.
Sylvia then called out the team group names, but none but one group mattered. Lucifer and Lily. They happened to be on the same team, making Daemon happy. 'That reassures me.....' Daemon then saw Sylivia wink at him.
'Oh. I see. Thank you Sylvia.'
After that, the other S ranks talked about rules and regulations. Like to leave behind a teammate if you can't save their life. Or if you find artifacts, hand them up.
"Alright. Sarah and Jake. Your up. Your goal is to kill 10 monsters each. Do not defeat the boss. If you don't know what the boss looks like then let me explain. The boss would usually be bigger than the others. The boss would also probably have on more items than the others as well."
""Yes ma'am.""
The two bowed slighly and Sylvia nodded. A huge curtain which was blocking something moved out of the way to reveal a singular door.
The two weren't surprised by this as low ranking dungeons are recorded in books. Its B ranks through S rank dungeons that aren't revealed to the public.
Phantom then opened the door and the two soon walked in it. He closed the door behind them and we all waited. 'This should be fun..' Daemon layed against a tree with his head down.
They had a huge screen and on it showed Sarah and Jake. They were walking in a rocky tunnel, each on guard. 'Jake has earth magic right? Should be more destructive since hes surrounded by it..'
If your at a certain level in skill then you could manipulate the elements around you and use it for attack/defensed. If you do then your use of magic goes down and you can store it for a later time.
"Hey. Are you fine?"
Daemon recognized the voice as it sat down next to him.
"Yeah. Your going to protect her right?"
"Of course I will. I feel like I got closer to Lily in the past couple of hours. I sort of see her as my little sister now."
"Oh really? That's...nice to hear. Especially from you Lucifer."
Lucifer was wearing black spandex up to his neck. On his spandex, he had a strap that went from his right shoulder to his left hip covered with knives. Around his neck, he had a red scarf that went down until the back of his knee caps. He had a small sword under his cape as well. On his face, he wore a black mask that covered only half of his face.
"You look good by the way."
He was surprised at Daemons sudden switch in topic. He still managed to answer however.
"Thank...you. I made it myself."
"You did? Well it looks nice. It brings out features that shouldn't be brought out."
"Haha. Feature that shouldn't be brought out huh? Like what?"
"Like..."
Daemon placed his hand on his thigh.
"These.."
He moved his hand around while laughing. 'M-My legs?..' Lucifer looked at his own legs with intrest. 'My legs are skinny, but this skin tight suit makes them stick out...'
"I'm just kidding. Well not really, but you understand right? The suit brings out small things like this that could make someone...act up."
"Act up huh?...."
Lucifer kept starring at the hand on his thigh. 'Hes sinking into them..' Daemon kept playing around on then with Lucifer sighing. Sarah and Jake eventually came out and another group went in.
That repeated a few more times and it was finally time for Lucifer and Lily to go in.
"Be safe."
Daemon looked up at him as he got up and dusted his suit off.
"Yeah. See you later.."
He waved to Daemon as he walked away. 'Please protect her..' Daemon was still worried after all this time. He thought he prepared himself but seeing it in person actually made his worries come back.
Daemon looked back down and waited. He waited and waited without ever looking up at the screen. What Daemon was missing was his sister easily killing the skeletons. She was as fluent as water as she moved around the battlefield.
It surprised everyone but Sylvia. 'I taught her well. She could easily take on a dungeon like this..' She nodded in approval then looked towards Daemon. 'Oh lord. Your..missing out on your sisters first fight. Are you really that worried?'
She shook her head and looked away. 'For a God, he worries too much. It's honestly sad. Well...to be fair though, he may have God like powers, but he hates to use them to spoil himself..'
After about 10 minutes, Lucifer and Lily came out. Lily was giggling with a huge smile on her face while Lucifer was sighing from hearing that the whole time.
"Daemon! Did you see?! Did you see me?!"
Lily stood over him with with her hands on her hips. 'Go on big brother. Praise me!' Daemon slowly looked up while getting up in the process.
"You did...."
He placed his hand on her head and smiled.
"Amazing! You were so elegant Lily!"
Daemon was truly happy. While he had his head down, he was still looking at the fights. He saw his sister easily defeating the monsters which surprised him. 'Lily. Lily. Lily... You surprise me everyday..'
"Thank you! I tried my best!"
She then hugged her brother and planted her face into his chest. 'From now on, I won't be afraid anymore. I've seen your prowess and understand now that you don't need someone to worry for you. Your...perfectly fine now.'
"What about me?"
Lucifer stood in front of them, looking away at times.
"You did good too. Yeah, when fell face first into the ground, it caught my attention real good.."
"I..know it did. I did it on purpose because I knew you would be worrying too much about your sister."
"R-Really? Maybe I should worry more then.."
"Ha. Your..a weirdo Daemon."
Lucifer laughed while walking next to Daemon. As he did, he whispered something with a smirk that made Daemon gulp. 'Lucifer...your a freak aren't you?'
"Daemon and Sebastian! Get your asses over here!"
Sylvia yelled out from the across the small field. Daemon nodded and Lily slowly let go of him.
"Good luck Daemon!"
"Thank you Lily.."
"Have fun Daemon.."
"Yeah.."
Daemon then walked away while tugging at his crotch. 'Dad. You made it too tight. Just because you ain't got nothing down there doesn't mean I do too.' Daemon shook his head as he stood in front of the door next to Sebastian.
"Your group has to defeat the boss. Good luck."
They both looked over at Infinity. He had that same smug smile on his face with his head slightly tilted up.
"Why?"
"Why? Because you two can handle it. Your the strongest students here after all."
"Hm. Okay. I'm fine with that. You?"
Daemon looked over at Sebastian who was grasping at the air in a timed manner. 'Oh yeah...he doesn't talk does he?'
Sebastian nodded, making Infinity open the door. In the door way, there was purple and black fog that gave off an ominous aura.
"You two may enter. And please, don't die. It would be a shame to lose such valuable pieces.."
Daemon eyed infinity as he walked in. 'Peices huh? What do you mean by that?' Daemon shook his head as he slowed his brainwaves down.
'Alright. I'm...ready..'
