Arriving back at the entrance. I just see Uni is standing on the very front of the group. Her swords are covered with the blood of the swarms. And everyone behind her seems exhausted. Uni on the other hand. She seems fine...
"Uni. I'm back!"
"Ooh! Welcome back! How far did you go in the dungeon? Did you find something interesting?"
"How far did I go? It's pretty deep. I found the boss room during. It's ominous and heavy. And I also find something pretty important. I want to talk about it with you Uni. Can we go somewhere?"
"... Sure. You sounds serious."
Of course I sounded serious. This matter is pretty dangerous for other people to take care... Only us two, the S Ranker can take care of this... We walk away from the group. We didn't go too far though. About 2 minutes walk from the group... And when I determined that the area is good enough. We stop.
"So, here's what I found. I found out that there's something intelligent behind all of these monster. At first, I saw a swarms that is cannibalizing each other... Then I notice that the cave is too clean. Hence, no food for the swarms... And then when I go deeper, I notices that there's other type of monster than the swarm. They look like a dragon. But their scales is black... And they have many rows of sharp teeth. They are not aggressive to each other. Instead, they love to cuddle..."
"?! That's bad then. Taiga. Let's go back and kick everyone out of the dungeon. If they were to fight those monsters. They would be chewed on like candies."
"... Okay. Let's go tell them."
Even Uni panicked. But this is a good thing. It means that she knows what that monster are... If she knows what it is and panicked. I can assume that it's a strong and rare monster... Hence, an Intelligent Being that control this dungeon is going to be easy to figure out...
It's all about the preparation and knowledge...
We go back and then Uni quickly tell everyone to retreat. At first, they didn't know if she's serious or not. But when she told everyone about the existence of the monster called 'Predator' everyone just rush out of the gate back to earth...
Interesting... A Predator... They surely look like a predator. They look like a type of being that's always on the top of the food chain. But why did they group up like that and not do anything when they feel our presence? As I expected. Intelligent Being that control them are the boss of this dungeon.
Am I scared? Nope. I am not scared... Instead... I'm excited. There are no nervousness or scared feeling for me. There's only Excitement. Every time I'm about to face something... All the sign of me being nervous appear. But for me, it's not nervous. It's excitement. The sign of Excitement and Nervousness is similar. It's up to them to say which sides they're on.
Most of the best people I know... Always treat that feeling as Excitement. So I too, will treat it as an excitement.
"Are you nervous Uni?"
"Well, not anymore. At first, I'm nervous because... There's too much liability for us both to handle. The Main Raid team has suffer a massive damage in the past due to this monster. We don't know what the weaknesses of the Predator are. But I certainly know that I can kill it."
Ooh! Then it shouldn't be a problem then! If Uni can kill it, then I can as well... I have Flame Emperor ready to go if I really need to wreck some havoc.
"So, what's the plan for us to face the predator?"
"Predator has no weakness currently. Since they have this massive scales that protect them like a suit of armor. They're stacked against each other so that Predator have a massive defense. But also, it is pretty fast and strong. So we can't really do anything with our weapons. The easiest way to kill it is using Magic Energy. Fortunately, I have some skills using my sword technique that unleash a massive energy slash. And for you... I don't need to ask you what to use... You have lots of them."
"I see... So I guess... We just hit them with magic as much as we can and hope that their insides get messed up. Right?"
"Correct. And since time is not in our favor right now. Let's finish this quickly... I have some meetings to attend at 6 and you have some things to attend at 6 as well."
"Ah! You're right!"
It's 5 PM. An hour left before things goes downhill... We need to finish this dungeon at that time and go back.
We decided to move immediately... We can't afford to waste anymore time... Uni and I go all out immediately... I think she can feel my bloodlust leaking out and try to one up me. And I one up her. And the cycle continue... I want to fight. I want to fight it.
The predator. I wonder how well you can fight! I will decide if you're strong or weak! I will see what type of skills will you give me.
"Oh! I almost forgot. Here's the plan. Group all of the predator up. When they're grouped up, they will confuse each other movement and get significantly slow. If we can utilize that to our advantage. The battle will be over quickly and we can move to the boss room."
"Alright. I'll keep that in mind. Group them up. I will give you a signal Uni. When I give you the signal. Prepare your strongest spell."
"Sure! Now, let's go Taiga!"
"Yes Uni!"
We dashed faster toward the place where I found the Predator... But at this point... They feel the bloodlust coming straight to them... I can feel that they're moving... Their aura is pitch black... They're truly an ominous monster... The only thing in their mind is kill intruders...
I will use the First Style to group them up. By combining Silencing Moment, Cliff Walk, and Shukuchi. I can surround them in an instant and shoot the energy toward them. Grouping them up... If that doesn't work... Then I will use the Flame Emperor ability to force them to group...
The plan was made... Now, it's time to execute the plan perfectly.
