It is the same dream again that I get every night since my awakening, me being a mage and battling this terrifying dark creature. I don't know why I'm always dreaming about it but it feels more than a dream, it feels like an experience I have before. I massage my head because comes with dreams are headaches.
I still can't figure out why I'm having those dreams, are those from my past lives or just a dream, if it's just a dream, why it's continuous?
It's been three weeks since the last raid, and the remaining money I have is only enough to last for the this week. While eating breakfast I receive a message from Stephan that a new dungeon is schedule for us to raid today and it feels like an answered prayer for me. I gear up myself, with the last equipment I have. If this gear breaks, I have to go to raids with no gear at all until I can afford to buy a new one. I arrive at the dungeons location and saw that mostly of the raid team were already their including Stephan and Alice.
"Demetri, here I got you some coffee"-Alice.
"Thanks Alice"-Demetri.
"A thanks for yesterday"-Alice.
Another D-Rank Dungeon was assigned for us today. I battle mostly the small insect ones and stay not far from away Alice, in a distance that I can reach her fast if she is in trouble. The dungeon ended nobody getting hurt, beside for me, I get little bruises, not the same life threatening wounds like before, and I'm thankful for that a lot.
"You want me to heal those bruises for you Demetri?"-Alice.
"It's fine Alice, it's just cuts, save up your mana"-Demetri.
We were about to leave when the ground suddenly shakes. I stay close to Alice and cover her from any debris falling. When the shaking stops, we were surprise when the dungeon change it states from a cave into a literal dungeon you see in an old castle.
"It looks like we have entered a Transfer"-Stephan.
"I want to hear all of your opinion if you want to continue the raid or not, we are not obliged to continue and we can call higher teams that can solve this dungeon, but don't worry we will still have share profit but expect it to be less, because most of the profit will be given to the other team, so let's do a vote"- Stephan.
"Do we really have to vote, I know most of the people here wants to continue, besides for the reason that most of us wants to experience a transfer, we all heard that a Transfer dungeon also means double profit"-Tank.
"I agree, and beside a Transfer dungeon only means one level up from the other dungeon then this is only a C-Rank Dungeon we can handle this"-Warrior 1.
Other comments agreeing with the first comment starts to come out from the other raid members. There are others who do disagree too, most are lower Ranks, and I can feel Alice is one too.
"Alice"-Demetri.
"You know Demetri that even I say I don't want to continue, It will not matter, majority wants to continue"-Alice
In the end, we continue the raid even though the others don't want to. This dungeon is full of a skeleton knight type creatures, but something doesn't feels right, these soldiers are too weak for a C type dungeon.
"Stephan, something's not right about this dungeon"-Demetri.
"You're right Demetri, I feel it too"-Stephan.
Fewer and fewer knights are coming at us as we explore this dungeon, when we reach the throne room where the dungeon boss should be, we are surprised to see a beast type monster attacking the head knight. With the aura it emits, it's the same as the strongest hunters of the country, this is a S-Class Type monster, but what puzzles all of us, is what it is doing in a Class C Dungeon, something is definitely wrong.
It's screams are enough to make us all tremble, the pressure is too much for us to handle, its suffocating. After dealing with the head knight, it rushes towards us. We didn't even have time to prepare or even react in the situation. So, this is what an S-Class Monster is. What we are witnessing now is a massacre, its not a battle anymore.
It kills everyone that gets in its way. Even with the full force of the team and full power, we can't do anything about it. Even I know I can't do anything, I still want to do something that's why when I see an opportunity, I exert all the mana I have left to it, but even with all that, it's still nothing.
It slashes its claws right into my chest and throw me right across the throne. I spit out blood and feel like anytime I might die, but I can't die here, I can't leave my sister alone, she needs me. Even though my vision shifting from blur to clear, I can see that the team that once fighting are now all dead, leaving Stephan the only man alive, struggling to get out of the grip of the monster. I can see too that Alice is boosting him and at the same time healing him and because of that, the attention of the S-Class monster is now on her.
The Beast Monster, throw Stephan across the room and now is walking towards Alice, I have to save her, I have too. With the remaining mana I have, I rush myself towards Alice to use myself as a shield for the attack. I came just in time before it slashes Alice. It was about to hit me when a blinding light in a form of human appear in front us, facing me, smiling.
"Found you"-Light Being.
Before even I can say anything, it faces the S-Class Beast Monster and snapped saying the words.
"Time Manipulation; Freeze."-Light Being.
And just like it said, everything around us, stops.
