"If that is so then let's get moving." The huge leader said as he stands up and easily picks up his broadsword as he swung it and placed it on his shoulder.
The rest if the team stands up as well as they all walk out the building with Aion following right after.
...
No one spoke or said anything until they got to the entrance of the reeking cavern. They had boarded a carriage and that drove them to the transferral tube which they used to go down, after that they had trekked for about six kilometres before they them got to rocky barren lands and mountain range which was where they found the cavern that was dug out by some Koboles, as they it was called on their mission slip.
It was apparently the crossbreed between Kobolds and Moles, because if that their appearance is altered from their original not looking like one or the other, as it is written in the slip that they have the regular Kobold body that is humanoid, thick red skin, but then their head is where the abomination lies as it is like the forced mixing of a Kobold face to have the tentacled nose, ears and teethes of a mole. Then also it's hands are or a moles, but because of their Kobold side, the hands are muscular making the regular sloppy nails of a mole harden with muscles as it is now dangerous claws.
Reading the description of the beast alone is more than able to make a weak minded person faint in disgust, but as it is like this they all knew the reason it is called the reeking cavern.
As they all stop in front of the cavern entrance, the leader finally broke the silence as he spoke.
"I'm Grad, leader of the sparrow team, and these others are my team members..." He points at the girl that still doesn't seem to be concerned with anything around as she continues looks on with bored eyes.
"... That's Daizy, not her real name but nobody knows and nobody dares to ask, just keep it that way." Grad then faces the twins as he grabs them both by the shoulder.
"This is Rack and Rill, Rack is the one wearing brown robe he is a earth mage, while Rill is the one in blue, a water mage. They share almost everything... Including their likes of woman."
Aion shivered at the thought of two brothers sharing the same woman. Only an equally sick woman would obviously do such.
Grad seeing Aion shiver, he then laughs. "Just kidding, although they same some things like ideas, thoughts and stuff like that but not women, they aren't crazy enough for that, hahahaha!"
Aion laughs as well as he then looks at the last person with an eye patch, Grad noticing his gaze pulls him into a hold.
"He doesn't have one, doesn't talk, doesn't do anything except from following and fighting, although we just act like he is invincible but he is counted in with each and every plan we make, and we also depend on his crucial high damage when in battle. So you can just do the same." Grad advices as he whispered to Aion, with Aion as well nodding his head in understanding.

'like I said I will only trust and believe myself more... Now now now, what is an Ifrit doing here, and not just any Ifrit but a fatally injured one that was once a Crazed beast almost entering into the ranks of Watcher beast, but is now a tier 3 Boss beast' smiling and waving at all of them Aion introduces himself as well.
"I'm Aion, and you can all call me that..." Saying this he takes notice of the eye patched guys sudden intake of breathe and squinting if his eye.
'Now my suspicion has been confirmed... Hehehe seems like this mission won't just end with clearing the reeking cavern and fighting for gods field slots... Hehehe!'
After concluding the introductions and short group bonding, the team moves into the cavern while equipping and wielding their weapons.
Entering into the dark cavern, they had initially prepared for it's darkness but they did not know it was actually murky enough for their sight to not even see their own hands.
"Shit this is dark as fuck, you can't expect me to fight like this, it is too dark." Rill was the one who spoke but it was in a audible whisper enough for the team to barely hear.
"Yeah bro, this is dark and scary and we don't have any fire mage or fire sorcerer, except for some dim torches." Rack supports his twin words as he pulls out a torch and lights it on fire.
Immediately the torch cast it's flaming brightness into the murky cavern, they all could see clearly and with that they could as well see that they were already surrounded by a group of Koboles. All of them holding rusty swords and straw shields.
"Oh! Seems like they were sneaky enough to have surrounded us without knowing, but they are not fighting us when they could have used the darkness to assassinate us in the dark." Grad says as he drops his broadsword from his shoulder to the ground causing a slight crack on the ground from the impact.
"Seems like we'll be starting our clearing from here. Attack!" Grad commands as he pulls his sword with both hands into a giant swing. Successfully hitting three Koboles on the chest and flinging them to the cave walls, causing two out of the three to die.
The third one was about to jump back on its feet but an arrow found its way into its skull hanging the Koboles on the wall.
Water bullets suddenly sprays out in one direction at where the Koboles were running from. Taking five shots each was enough to kill them but the bullets stopped a Rill prepared another spell, while rack came up to take cover as he casted an earth bullet spell, continuing from where his brother left.
The man with the eye patch, was a gauntlet user so h got in close combat with the Koboles, others won't notice but Aion who was actively watching the man notices, every place his fist hits on the Koboles body turns slightly black and singed, and with his sensitive nose he was able to pick up the burnt spell from it.
'Dind't Rill say they didn't have any fire user, so even they don't know... They wouldn't have guessed the were fighting alongside a beast .' Aion studies him more s he chops down heads with his dual wielding.
'So the gauntlet is not there as a weapon but as a power blocker,it secretly blocks out there from his fist and only releases it after being hot enough to cause damage. That means he must have called it his gauntlet imbued skill to them so they wouldn't be suspicious, but that can't happen since Grad had mentioned that they couldn't speak with the guy... This is really confusing!'
Aion dashes to the coming Koboles, and faces all five alone. The first one strikes at him after jumping into the air but Aion uses his sword to parry it off making the Kobole to lose balance, that few seconds of being distracted Aion swiss up that chance and jumps to the next Kobole using the first one shoulders as a launch pad.
The force at which he uses to jump off from the Kobole shoulder caused the Kobole to crash hard on the ground, it's two knees getting stuck in the ground.
Going to the next one a fake slash was sent forth, in reaction the Kobole puts up it's shield to block but in the process it also blocks it's own view and Aion takes this moment to run up behind it, and the next slash unscrews it's head from is shoulder.
