Suddenly the eight eyes of the spider shined with a blood red glow and an ominous red aura envoloped it's body.
"W-we don't stand a chance..." Mark mumbled as he stumbled and fell on the floor butt first but his attention was focused on the beast with large quantity of sweat pouring down his face.
Up until now Mark had always tried to set and example for all the E-rank hunters, he raided dungeons with since he himself was a D-rank he would usually cruise through these dungeons without much problem but today it seemed all that would end.
"I-i can't die here... Hey useless worm! It's about time you get useful" The man yelled desperately at the raven-haired boy who shivered taking a step back, after watching how people with talents can't do anything against this beast then he possibly stood no chance.
Mark's eyes reddened as the 'Talentless worm' backed away from him and the calamity behind, veins popping up on his head as he stared at the raven-haired boy with a look that could kill.
Mark had always been nice to him even though behind the nice-leader act he actually hated him due to the fact he was talentless even still he decided to be nice to him knowing that one day he would become useful and today was that day...
"Hey! I haven't been nice to a useless bastard like you just so i could gain nothing, remember the times I stood up for you?! Well now it's your time to pay me back by becoming a sacrifice for this fucking beast!" Mark yelled his body shaking due to the amount of anger he felt, if the narrator was allowed to, he could have sworn that blood trickled down Mark's face.
The boy upon hearing this fell to the floor his legs becoming weak as he stared at Mark with tears all over his face.
For him Mark was the only light in his darkness except his little sister because he would always allow him to team up during a raid and was always nice to him despite him being talenless so hearing this coming from someone he looked up to he could not help but break down.
Mark upon seeing his actions was about to speak again until the spider appeared before him seemingly tired of listening to their disheartening discussion, it used one of it's legs and stabbed it into his stomach the sound echoing throughout the dead silent dungeon.
It then brought the half alive Mark towards it's mouth before it then pierced it's fangs into his body sucking him dry of all his blood as his body went from healthy and plum to skinny and pale.
Watching this the remaining four couldn't help but look at the scene unfold in horror they now knew the difference between an E rank and A rank, the overwhelming gap in power was as clear as an ocean.
"Kyaaa!" Eva suddenly screamed as she hurled more balls of fire towards the calamity hoping that it would at least do some damage but not only did it fail to do damage it even made it angry!
"Tsk, I guess you all can only rely on me-" The blonde-haired dude couldn't even finish his words as the spider punctured his stomach with it's legs before doing the same thing it did with Mark's body.
Eva upon seeing this further hurled more balls of fire not noticing the size of her balls of flame were now reducing with each throw she performed until she couldn't even do as much as to create a flick of fire, her body then slumped to the floor.
"H-help me" She cried out to Maya the purple haired girl and the raven-haired boy who was still watching everything on the floor but his expression had changed... He looked rather angry...
'All my life I've been a coward I think it's time I finally step up for something even if it is the last thing I do... No I need to be alive for my sister I'm not dying here today!' The raven-haired boy thought inwardly as he shakily stood up gripping his dagger dearly as he took slow step towards the calamity.
All his life he had depended on others for help, financially, educationally just name it, all because he was weak, talentless and poor up until now he had let fate decide every step he took but that ended today! He was going to break those chains of fate that held him back! Or so he thought.
The two girls stared at his back hopelessly knowing his fate was going to be similar to the blonde-haired man but they couldn't stop him because they had a glimmer of hope that him a talenless boy could defeat an A rank spider of calamity, although it sounded dumb they couldn't help but place their hopes in him.
"It's me and you now... mind if we go for a tango?" He mumbled a question but the girls behind him heard looking at him weirdly after all who in their right senses would say such a clichè line when one was facing certain death?
Suddenly the spider rushed towards him it's speed contradicting it's large build as it swinged its legs towards the boy who didn't even blink yet.
-Bang!!!
He was sent flying back with his body being smashed against the dungeon walls, Eva looked hopelessly waiting for the dust to settle to see a mangled dead body only to she him coughing up blood violently.
'I thought he would have been dead with that attack even I can't take that head on' Eva thought as she stared at him with eyes of shock and pity, she thought that even without being with a talent and system his body was that strong but she was wrong.
Just about the attack was about to reach him a purple shield appeared in front of him taking most of the damage still he was left with a broken body as he looked towards Maya who was now also the floor coughing up blood.
'I can't die here!' The boy yelled in his head as the beast unhurriedly made it's way towards him, 'I still have to take care of my sister so I can't die here!' He yelled once more as he slowly controlled his broken body to stand but he was suddenly stabbed in the stomach.
"I can't die here..." He mumbled as the calamity pierced it's fangs into his body the girls upon seeing this lost their consciousness.
