Will of chaos

Pov Irius:

We faced a few more monsters until we got close to a place covered in black mist or at least what we believed to be mist, when we got closer we realized it was soot.

When we passed through the soot cloud that covered the entire area, we noticed that the place that the Guild map we had led to a volcano.

This volcano was not very big, but the temperature around it was very high, in addition, there were lava and stone Elementals around the volcano, there were a few hundred of them, but it was not a problem for our group, it was actually a good experience of group training.

During this fight we used all our power to finish off these monsters as quickly as possible, the monsters were very strong, but they were slow, so dodging their blows was not difficult, the biggest problem with these monsters was the ability to regenerate using corresponding elements in the environment that was abundant, to finish them we had to do it with a single blow, destroying the whole body.

Irina mostly used her water magic getting on the magma elementals turning the monsters into rock statues, the rock elementals in turn were blown to pieces with Hela’s claw attacks, using my shield to hit them like a hammer and Samira destroying their bodies with kicks that threw the monsters at their companions behind them due to the force of Samira’s blows.

After finishing off the monsters we started looking around, then we found a cave and entered, inside we found some types of metal and magic stones, Hela used the monster bodies she collected so far and several other smaller monsters to collect these materials that we keep in our storage items.

———–

After citing everything we could see superficially we left, we didn’t want to waste too much time mining and Ragnar was starting to get grumpy about mealtimes.

We went straight to the exit this time, we’ll go to the next floor and then come back from the safe room on that floor or that’s what we wanted to do.

“Ragnar, have you noticed them?” (Athena)

“Yes, it’s been a few minutes.” (Ragnar)

“I can feel the vital energy of 2 people, I can’t tell their strength.” (Hela).

“They are Lesser Catastrophe Grade, by the way, they move They are expert in stealth, they are hiding their Auras well.” (Ragnar)

“How long have we been followed?” (I)

“As I said before, just a few minutes.” (Ragnar)

“If you point me in the direction I can punch them for you.” (Samira)

“I can cast a pain curse on an area if pointed in the direction I…” (Lilith)

“No, let’s keep moving forward, ignore the enemy until we are forced to act, if these two are watching us it means there must be a group somewhere waiting for us.” (Irina)

“If it were me, I’d do two ambushes, one at each exit if there were enough people.” (Athena)

“One of them has an Aura I’ve seen before…” (Ragnar)

———-

After almost 20 minutes of ignoring most of the monsters, we arrived at the stairs to the next floor of the Dungeon, the two that were watching us stayed away all this time without ever approaching.

When we arrived we saw a group of 20 people waiting right in front of the entrance to the next floor.

Just as Ragnar suspected, they were people from the Temple of the Law. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

“How strong are they?” (Athena)

“15 of them are SSS Grade, the other 5 have Lower Catastrophe Grade power.” (Ragnar)

“Not to mention the other two following us here.” (I)

“Can we hit them now?” (Lilith)

“We know their degree of power, but we still don’t know how strong they are, don’t underestimate your enemies.” (I)

“He’s right, besides the Priests of the Law are good at catching criminals, so they’re used to fighting.” (Athena)

“Irina, Hela, Ragnar and Lilith.” (I)

“You know what to do on my signal.” (I)

———–

Soon we’re standing 10 meters away from the Priests of the Law, I take two steps forward and a woman between them does the same.

“You guys should get out of our way, we don’t want trouble.” (I)

“Then follow us to the Temple of the Law, we just want to confirm if they are being wanted to enter somewhere, if there is no wanted poster they will be released.”

Sigh

“As always, idiots who think they’re righteous…” (I)

“Offending me and my companions will do no good.”

“I just wanted to get you out of the way since they said fighting is forbidden on this island.” (I)

“Fights are prohibited on the island, not within the Dungeons, but even then there are rules of combat only at the same level of strength.”

“And are you foolish enough to think that larger numbers at the same level of strength guarantee your victory?” (I)

“Trying to intimidate me with your words is useless, will you, the girl who looks like your sister, Celestina, and the Devil accompany us for good or will we have to be rude?”

“Then don’t say I didn’t warn you when your teammates start dying, NOW!” (I)

“< Demon Mist >” (Lilith)

“< Summon: Nightmare Ghosts >” (Hela)

“< Aura Suppression >” (Ragnar)

“< Illusory Barrier >” (Irina)

On the way to the exit, we were already preparing everything we would need before arriving, my Father always said to be as prepared as possible and never be confident in your own strength if you don’t fully know the enemy.

Lilith, Irina, and Hela had already made their preparations, Irina could cast her Barrier spells almost instantly creating the magic circles, Hela had a bracelet made using a Phantom Orb making the process to summon Phantoms very easy and fast, Lilith created the circle magic inside his own body while accumulating demonic energy to cast that spell and Ragnar is the strongest person in using Auras of his level, these people wouldn’t have someone I can go head-to-head with his Aura, that means the Auras of everyone was suppressed into their bodies negating the effect of their Auras.

Soon a great barrier envelops the entire area which begins to ripple and change as a thick red mist blocks vision and senses within the barrier at the same time as eerie groans are heard from within the mist.

“Advantage belongs to whoever makes the first move.” (I)
