Chapter 15 - The Trials Begins (3)

As Ryan made his way to the inner chambers of the Dungeon. He kept thinking off a way to beat the tyrant at the last chamber.

[Trial:Dungeon

Duration:8hours 30minutes 53secs]

Ryan looked at the time remaining as he made his way to the second chamber of the Dungeon. 

Every Trial has different chambers each leading further to the boss chamber. The further you go, the harder it becomes. 

Ryan stood in front of the giant door before him. Hesitating for a minute before he finally entered. 

"Open!" He said in a commanding tone.

The door before him made no sound for some seconds, before it finally creaked open, slowly enlarging the space in between it.

As the door finally opened up. Ryan walked inside slowly as he his face reminded unchanged, walking into the unknown.

As Ryan got inside in continued as he stopped for some seconds to survey his surroundings. 

Before he could finish getting a full glance of the place, he was attacked from above, as spikes tried to hit him.

He swiftly sidestepped the attack from the enemy.

He jumped backwards from where he stood several times. As he waited for the figure that attacked him to show it's true form, Ryan realized that it wasn't a monster but some student. 

Ryan stood bewildered as he starred at the figure before him. 

He look at the figure puzzled as lots of questions ran through his mind. It was the girl who he had unconsciously called out from the crowd before; Gabrielle. 

She stood there as she gave Ryan a cold stare, making him feel a bit uncomfortable. 

"I didn't expect you to dodge that" she said as she slowly walked closer to him. 

Ryan distanced himself by moving some steps backwards. He wasn't really sure why Gabrielle was attacking him as he thought they were friends. 

She continued to walk slowly to him before finally stopping. 

"Gabrielle! What are you doing?" Ryan asked.

She let out a slight grin before throwing a knife from at him from behind. 

Ryan had sensed the knife coming straight for him at lightning speed. He could easily evade it, but he wondered who had thrown it. Gabrielle and him were the only people nearby as he couldn't sense any other spectra energy aside from them.

He quickly tilted his head to the side and caught the blade by the tip.

Gabrielle who watched this was surprised that he could evade her attack. 

No one has ever been able to dodge her knives attacks talk less if catching it.

Ryan threw the sword away as her turned around to see who it was. He was shocked to see another Gabrielle behind him.

He turned towards the two figure trying to understand what was going on. 

He suddenly recalled from his predecessor's memories that Gabrielle was also a Gifted who possessed a magnificent skill. Clone Manipulation, which allows her to create several clones of herself, putting her enemies at a disadvantage as she made am army of her own. Each clone were as powerful as the original one, each possessing extreme physical ability and combat skills. She was like a One-Man-Army or rather a One-Woman-Army.

She suddenly started laughing she as he jaf caught her blade. Soon the clone disappeared leaving only the original one. 

"Looks like you've improved" Gabrielle said as she let out a soft smile.

Ryan stood completely bewildered by what she meant, but soon came to understand that it was just a test. 

In the past, Gabrielle was the playful type who never really took anything serious. She was always an airhead, sweet and loving. No wonder Ryan's predecessor had a crush on her. She was simply a sight to behold. 

Added to that fact, she was a succubus who had extremely matured features. 

Succubus are known for their quick maturing body. Because of this men from other cities try thier best to get to them into their beds, but end up paying for it heavily. Succubus were mostly a race of women, with few men of the same race who live in the city. They are also feared for their amazing combat skill putting them also at the top when it comes to combat. They are the cruelest race on Spectra who would go any lengths to destroy their enemies, so it would be wise not to make an enemy of a succubus. 

Though they were regarded as violent beings and tough warriors. They also had a soft spot if you could get to them. 

Succubus were a race that were strong in every aspect but weak when it comes to sex. They are a heavenly reward for those who could tame them. Even as they were the perfect fucking machine they could also lead to the doom of any man. If you can't pleasure a succubus in bed then you just signed a death warrant, as they had high levels of lust which keeps building up inside them. 

Ryan wasn't worried about that, he was confident in his abilities. 

Ryan regained his composure, but something soon struck him. He wondered why she had given him the cold shoulder earlier? She seemed to be mad about something. 

Ryan discarded the thought as he continued on his way totally ignoring her. 

Gabrielle wasn't surprised by this as he had always been the cold type. She didn't care because she knew how vulnerable he was deep inside and she was the only one could get to him.

She gave a light chuckle seeing his behavior and soon continued to follow him.

As they continued to go deeper. Ryan continued but wonder why she was here. If he recalled correctly she had already enrolled in the academy before. 

"Why are you here?" Ryan asked, breaking the silence in the air. 

Gabrielle looked at him with a neutral face before finally letting out a chuckle.

"Well, after you were expelled, I got into the same trouble as you" she said. 

Ryan looked at her puzzled, wondering what she meant by that.

"What do you mean?" Ryan asked with a curious facial expression. 

"I broke a guy's arm off" she said abruptly with a smile. 

Ryan was shocked when he heard her, but soon returned to his neutral expression. He knew that Gabrielle was a short tempered person who had terrible anger issues. 

As they continued to walk, Ryan could see the door to the third chamber. He was a bit restless as he knew that it was too easy.

Every chamber was supposed to have a challenge which they were to overcome. 

Ryan looked around as he was on guard expecting a creature to jump out from anywhere. 

As they finally got to the chamber door. Gabrielle was about to stop her, sensing that something was wrong. 

Before he could stop her she attempted to touch the door as a huge hole opened underneath them swallowed them into the ground.
