"Where did that bastard go?"
The first bully named Andrew Webb glanced around. Brown hair with a handsome face, easily approached by the nobility including the girls who attended school because of his closeness to Prince Elliott. And has a promising magic capacity. Not counting the Duke of Robert's family connections, making Andrew a sorcerer to replace his father Thomas who will retire in the next few years. Using a wand from the most expensive tree, Klarch. The tree bears a resemblance to a banyan. It's just that, the roots soar to other trees and can regenerate. And the tree has the advantage of curing dangerous diseases. However, to get it requires taking seeds from the sacred Elf tree that is not inhabited. Namely Tenderpeach. The tree trunk blooms like a banyan flower. But blazing like a rainbow. If picked, the leaves will change as they wish. The seeds will be planted in the spring and will take three to five years to grow. The Klarch tree will grow its trunk and its materials are taken as sticks until it gets its strength.
White gloves are always worn by Andrew in a haughty tone. Reluctant to talk to the lower class because they think it's disgusting.
The second man with Andrew was named Zack Marsh. Both have a handsome face with him. The difference is the dyed red hair and always changing women. He has a principle to pursue lust alone. Including women from the lower classes because of their innocence. Very different from royalty. Zack behaved thus protected by Prince Elliott. As long as there are women who want to sue him, his family will be threatened with death or vice versa. Causing the women who are hurt not to dare to go far. And has the same wand as Andrew even though it is painted red.
The third man was Glenn Mills. Always wears round glasses with sharp glares and doesn't like really stupid people. He was always arguing with people below Glenn's IQ. A potential that should be polished, instead used to approach the corrupt nobles. And promised to be married to three girls at once as long as it must have a connection with two princes. The latter no one knows except Prince Elliott and Walter. Just covered in a cloak despite wearing the Daponia academy's school uniform. His movements were like a shadowy figure who kept hiding. The air of existence that always disappears without a trace, makes it difficult to simply communicate.
The trio had always been with Prince Elliott rather than Walter. Besides being charismatic, he also promised the three of them in the form of rank, wealth and women. The three of them have known each other since they were 5 years old through the closest family connections.
Everywhere he always bullied the poor. Even to buy expensive things once. However, the three of them passed the test which was not easy. Glenn's fate is arguably lucky because he has fast magic abilities compared to Andrew who relies on his magic capacity. Meanwhile, Zack relies on physical strength to protect the Kingdom. One by one they defeated the enemy at the age of 5 years. It was arguably the darkest age for children of Prince Elliott's age. Especially the nobility. In order to secure their position in the highest caste, all means were used. Even getting rid of the enemy once. Including Zack and Andrew's parents sent a delegation through their son.
In a rehearsal before the test, Andrew took a deep breath. The wand he was holding, was full of sweat. Then the stick is rotated in a circle. Come out a jet of water. But, not about it. The anger in Andrew's heart. Passionate anger because it is not according to his wishes. He saw a participant named Zack, pointing his wand at the target. The magic used is in the form of a large fire. But not on target. The spray devoured the trunk of a large tree until it caught fire. Andrew also took precautions in the form of spraying water until it was extinguished. As a result, the tree trunk was blackened. The spray began to shrink. The second breath is erratic. Bending the body because it is not strong enough to stand straight and experiencing fatigue. Sweat trickled down his face again. Glaring sharply at a target that doesn't hit. Zack slammed his wand. Frustrated at not being able to hit the target.
"Fuck!"
"Zack. There's no need to be so angry."
"I hate training like this! Is it better to be taught to use a sword instead of this ridiculous toy!" Zack croaked tightly gripping his wand.
Andrew glanced at Glenn arrogantly, having managed to beat the two of them. His right fist bulged sharply, emitting a red aura of anger within him.
Meanwhile, Prince Elliott stared at the participants who were about to become his lackeys. In total there are 40 selected people, currently undergoing tests from the Kingdom.
Prince Elliott watched from inside the palace. A few seconds later, he entered the window. Past the maids standing in a row near the red carpet. Prince Elliott wore a majestic shirt with a white striped collar. The dominant color is between red and blue and white tights. Everywhere carried a shiny forged mini-sized sword. Showing his self. One of the servants named Sebastian bowed. White hair with a thick mustache and neatly shaved. In his right eye, there is a glass lens with a gold chain tied to his ear furnace. White gloves were put on when he met Prince Elliott.
"Prince, what test did you give them?"
"There's no need for a test. I already know who was chosen."
"You can't do that. If you choose arbitrarily, there will be rumors about the Prince being picky about friends."
Prince Elliott clicked his tongue. His palms touched his waist. Her crown is attached to the left. Gives a piece of paper to Sebastian. How surprised he read it. Mention the names of Andrew, Zack and Glenn. Sebastian looked up at Prince Elliott's back, headed for the palace room. The King's place is resting. On the other hand, the servants were whispering something about Prince Elliott's behavior. Sebastian glared sharply at the gossiping maid. They said goodbye, left the room and went on to other work. He sighed as he closed his eyes.
"Prince, I hope you don't choose a loyal bodyguard later."
Those were the only words that came out of Sebastian's mouth. Looking up at the sky that turned cloudy. Hope the storm passes soon. Thunder boomed.
~o0o~
In the present, the three bullies watched from a distance. The figure of a silver-haired youth was begging to say goodbye. Closing the door rushed somewhere. The three then hide while waiting for the right time. The fast pace of the silver-haired youth, took out a wand from his pocket.
After Issac crossed the two-way intersection, the bullies rushed to follow Issac from behind. While in the middle of the road, a mysterious path awaits them. Like a magnet that wants to attract itself. One of the bullies accidentally touched a door leading to the Unknown Origin dungeon. Andrew touched the doorknob. Get them sucked into somewhere.
Andrew glanced around. The walls are so thick and have a wooden floor surface. He shook his head. Back focus because he felt himself in an unknown place. The atmosphere is eerie. Hear the sound of crows around. Andrew's saliva was swallowed down his throat. His head always looked up to the ceiling of the room. He saw Zack and Glenn sprawled on the floor. Andrew squatted down to their faces, slapping him multiple times.
"Fast wake!"
The slaps from Andrew's palms continued until their cheeks turned red. The sound of the orchestra echoed loudly. Andrew's heart skipped a beat. His breathing became increasingly irregular. The sound of a bull snorting while carrying an ax in his hand. His body was mutated massively. The bark has tree branches made of black wood.
Zack and Glenn opened their eyes. They saw the two legs of a giant bull-like creature. Their eyes widened in shock. Immediately stood up while screaming loudly. The bull's voice called out to the newly resurrected undead.
Undead consisting of bones that have died or bodies that have not been interred. Limited movement while gazing at the bull-shaped monster. His body was fat and left a helmet without a face. Shouting loudly signaled the undead to attack them. Andrew, Zack and Glenn shouted loudly. The three of them ran as fast as they could. Open the door outside. They were also being chased by the undead. A groan from their jaws, slashed at Andrew. However, the young man dodged quickly.
"What's with this place?" shouted Zack seeing the hallway filled with many strange walls.
"I don't know! But if I predict, the monster is the guardian."
But Andrew's prediction was completely wrong. Because, he himself also didn't know whether the bull-headed monster was the real guard or not. Andrew just guessed.
The three bullies ran non-stop. He looked back as he continued to be chased. Until you find a dead end in front of your eyes. Zack raised his wand. Chant a spell with a loud shout. The flames spread to make the walls thick. The heat was scorching and burning the shabby clothes of the undead. But that wasn't enough to beat them. Zack told Andrew and Glenn to run. But Glenn wanted to show his fangs as a fighter.
Glenn who didn't want to run like a coward, fought the undead. His wand was swung, dazzling them. The flash of light had reduced their sense of sight. Then, Glenn took the initiative to strike back. Namely taking an orb in the chest. The pull from both palms was so hard. Until the sound of bone cracking was heard from the two undead. A sword pointed from behind Glenn. He jumped up while stepping on both feet to back away.
Take a quick breath while picking up a worn-out sword. Swing it horizontally. A groan came from Glenn's mouth, cutting every undead that charged at him. No matter how strong they were, if they collided with a sharp object, they would eventually crumble easily. His bones fell. Glenn also activated temporary summoning magic. Namely summoning a golem monster consisting of broken bones. They also gripped the sword, cut off the head until the sound of bones falling. Glenn stepped back. There are stairs below it. He went down the stairs. Sweat dripped down his face.
For Glenn, it was the right place to practice his skills. However, he didn't really know much. There are only three barrels filled with explosives. The walls are quite thick. Enough to withstand the heavy weight above. He was looking for something to destroy them. Glenn glanced around. There are only obsolete items such as rotten weapons, split shelves to the floor with holes everywhere. Glenn saw a chest that was unlocked. He opened the contents. There's nothing in it. Glenn's tongue clicked in annoyance. The powder from the roof began to hit the uniform Glenn was wearing. He stepped back. Saw there was an explosive danger sign. It was then, he had a plan. The sound of cracking from the roof was loud. The roof shattered instantly. Leaving ruins and gaping holes there. Glenn pointed his wand forward. Cast a fire spell on three barrels. The pounding footsteps of the bull-headed monster approached him. Just as it started to pass through the barrels, Glenn activated flamethrowing magic. Regarding the barrel. He ran into a corridor. A big explosion awaits.
Glenn lowered his head and body, in a prone position. Afraid of being hit by a rubble about him. Only a few seconds later, the sound began to disappear. Glenn got up and ran fast. He saw Andrew and Zack running side by side. Waving his hands while posing cool. But the response they got was a sneer from Andrew and Zack.
"You stupid! Show it off later! We must run immediately!" shouted Zack.
"Shut up Zack! I'm Glenn Mills! Glenn who—"
Suddenly, the monster figure swung its axe. Splitting Glenn's body into two parts. His body fell to the ground with blood dripping from his clothes. While the top was thrown into the sky. Andrew and Zack couldn't hide their fear. They both ran as fast as they could.
The bull-headed monster glared sharply at the two youths. He ordered the undead to give chase. They entered the dome of the fort. There is a staircase leading to the top floor. Zack used to ride it. Andrew tried to raise his wand. Cold sweat trickled down his face. His breath was ragged and short. His eyes widened because what he just saw was the real thing. The monster had killed Glenn.
"Hurry up!" shouted Zack holding out his hand.
When Andrew accepted the outstretched hand, he lifted his head. Backtracking wide-eyed. Zack didn't understand the reaction. Until he heard a snort from behind. His head turned to the bull-headed monster. Mercilessly, he cut off his head. His body immediately lay on the floor. While the head was thrown against the wall until it shattered leaving a lot of blood and other organs such as eyes and hair bangs.
Andrew's screams and screams were shrill. He glanced at the undead who had suddenly appeared. Their groans made Andrew back off. Both legs reflexively back. Until his back was against the wall.
"Save me!" Andrew screamed closing his eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of gunshots rang out loud. Destroyed several undead. Andrew heard another bullet being loaded into his rifle. Fired back at the remaining undead. The other was holding a black spear. Stabbing the blazing orb. A helping hand from the familiar figure of Andrew. A man he had just bullied with his two friends, Zack and Glenn.
"Issac… no way."
"There is no time for silence. Get out of here quickly!"
The snorting sound of a bull-headed monster resounded. Revive the undead instantly. Beside Issac, the saw blade aka Saw Sword was tightly gripped by Reynold.
"Get ready my friend. You will have a hunter coming from the Hell God Ila!" said Reynolds grinning.
Isaac frowned. Sometimes he said something funny when faced with a horde of monsters. There was no other choice but to attack the undead and the bull-headed monster. Meanwhile, Andrew chose to hide behind the wall. Watching Issac and Reynolds from behind.
