Boss Area, B-rank dungeon- Lava Lake
This area is right in the middle of the volcano, strangely there exists a platform directly in the middle of a huge lava-filled area, and a half-broken bridge connects the platform to the entrance of the volcano. This could be considered a perfect area for a lava-type monster to fight…
Yet, the boss monster's body could be seen floating in the lava its head severed from its lower body, and all of its limbs ripped apart with brute force, anyone can assume that this monster was tortured till it died of pain.
'What' going on, his highness hasn't yet ordered me to carry out the teleportation, is he busy with something… hmm, even that monster died too fast, I am getting bored, is there no one strong enough to entertain me here, sigh~' (Durik)
Just as Durik was getting more and more bored, finally the message he was awaiting arrived, a letter appeared from a small teleportation gate and fell in front of him and Durik immediately catches it with his hand and started to read it:
[Everything's ready, you can carry out the teleportation now, I have decided who would be the third person to teleport, heh… it's going to be an interesting trip…]
'Okay let's do it-...hmm! Someone's coming' (Durik)
Durik looked at the entrance of the volcano, his perception was telling him that an aura strong enough to be an S-ranker's has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, inside the dungeon…
'Did they also use a stabilizer but aren't they too fast, it hasn't even been half an hour since I entered the dungeon… well according to the information the stabilizing stone the academy has can only be used once since it's already used two times before, so if I can just keep this one person busy, his highness can do his work without any disturbances…' (Durik)
'But his highness would only have three hours to complete his thing, otherwise more S-rankers will enter using the stabilizer from taking it from others, like the alliance might have two or three of them lying around in my opinion…' (Durik)
'Let's teleport his highness and that other individual first…' (Durik)
Durik brought out a grey-colored stone with strange markings on it from his storage ring and channeled his mana in it, the markings on the stone started to glow and after a few seconds its markings dimmed, finally, the stone broke apart into tiny pieces…
'Okay the teleportation was successful, but since the other gates aren't opened with pinpoint coordinates, those two might get teleported to other areas of the dungeon, well it's better this way, otherwise, the battle between me and the other S-ranker may harm his highness too.' (Durik)
Durik felt the aura of the S-ranker getting closer with each second, the speed of the other person is extremely fast, they only took five seconds to reach the corner of this dungeon to the boss area.
(Yeah the teleportation Durik did earlier didn't even take a full second actually, it's just because your reading speed is too slow and that's why you think it took too long…)
As Durik was busy looking at the door he felt something abnormal from above, he looked above and found that the person entered from above actually, after all a volcano is open from above too, for persons who are below S-rank climbing this giant volcano might take too long, thus they enter from the main entrance near the foot of the volcano…
But as S-rankers don't follow common sense to begin with, they can just enter from anywhere they want, if there was no entrance they would just brute force their way through the ground directly.
[Master rank Flame Magic: Flame Meteor rain!]
Meteors burning with dark blue flame appeared out of nowhere, each of their sizes is as big as a two-story building both in height and width and even the density of the meteor's material itself is strong enough to compete with diamond. Yet there are a hundred such meteor's rushing at a speed many times faster than the speed of sound towards the base of the mountain from the top.
'Not good!…' (Durik)
Durik immediately brought out his great sword from his storage ring, he could feel it in his bones, that if he didn't defend himself properly any of those meteors can kill him.
[Royal Demon Swordsmanship: Deflect!]
Durik tried to deflect the trajectory of the meteors but the horrifying thing is that each of these meteors seems to have a way to track him, like a radar-guided missile, they would change their trajectory in mid-air to follow him and are even more precise in tracking him than a radar.
'Sh*t this is insane! when did such a strong flame magician appear in the human race, looks like I have no choice than.' (Durik)
[Blessing of the demon king: Demonic physique!]
Durik's armor broke apart and a human wearing clothes of a butler appeared from inside, then his humanoid body started to bulge and his skin changed color to grey, his eyes became pure black and his pupils became red, fangs appeared in his mouth and his face now resembled a werewolf, but he didn't have any hairs like a wolf on his bare chest, just his skin became grey and his body bulged up and grew into height, making him about three meters tall.
He brought out a new great sword from his storage ring which was much larger than the previous sword.
"Here I come!" (Durik) (His voice is extremely hoarse now)
Durik jumped toward the meteorites and slashed at them, with brute force:
[Royal Demon Swordsmanship: Striking fangs!]
One by one he sliced all the meteorites in two and made his way to the top as he sliced the last meteorite and reached the very top of the volcano, he unfolded his wings and spread them to stabilize himself in the air.
His wings looked like a bat's wings, but they were grey in color.
As the broken pieces of the meteorites fell to the ground one by one, making large shockwaves, they also destroyed half of the volcano already. Even the entrance was closed with the falling rocks, it's a relief that no student has made it this far in. Otherwise, they might have been dead from collateral damage done by the fight between two S-rankers.
"Why is a demon here inside a B-rank gate? Talk or I would make you unable to talk!" (Anna)
Durik finally looked at the woman standing in the air, a little away from him and his eyes became wide all of a sudden, for a while he stared at Anna and then said:
"I never expected that you would have become an S-ranker in just a few years I left, you have become strong, Anna" (Durik)
"Wha!? How does a demon know my nam- wait! Is that you, Durik, are you the same Durik who used to be Jin's direct disciple once!?" (Anna)
Anna was shocked by how Durik has changed and become a demon.
"B-but weren't you a human back then!?" (Anna)
Hearing Anna, Durik said in a Cold tone:
"Well things happened and this is how I am now, I see, master has not told you anything about why I left the human nation and why I had a fight with him, tch! he really is a stingy person who deserves to die…" (Durik)
"I don't know why you have become a demon now, but I must confirm why you are here right now!" (Anna)
"Answer my question or I would be forced to use violence, after all even if you may have been a former human, you are a traitor and a demon right now!" (Anna)
"Traitor you say, heh… What if… I told you that the reason I am here is…" (Durik)
Durik raised his hand and pointed his finger toward Anna:
"You are the reason!" (Durik)

"Hey can you feel the ground shaking, Rio?" (Link)
"Yeah" (Rio)
While standing in a huge pile of monster corpses Link and Rio looked at the two figures flying in the sky right above the volcano.
"Isn't that Ms. Anna, but where did that werewolf come from, do werewolves generally have wings?" (Link)
"That's not a werewolf, that's an S-rank Demon, only their wings can be that big…" (Rio)
"How do you know that?" (Link)
"If you study hard instead of focusing on your girlfriend the whole day, you could also know such things…" (Rio)
"Oh, is that so, then there's no way I would know that…" (Link)
"Indeed" (Rio)
