Chapter 308: The Heaven's chosen... Part-1.
Capital City Astra, Jold District.
An abandoned factory.
"Are you sure that you have the mission to conquer this dungeon... From the mana fluctuations, this is an A-rank dungeon... It will be difficult to conquer it with one person..."
Hearing Fade's worried voice, Kira nodded her head and said,
"Well, that's why I asked you to come with me; if we both work together, we can surely conquer it..."
Fade hesitated at Kira's words and said in a nervous voice,
"You know... We aren't even at rank A right now... The only reason we got the awakener's badge was because we were part of Team Astra, which won the tournament..."
"We don't need to risk it right now.. h-how about we complete this mission later?"
Kira pouted her cheeks at those words and said,
"Only by braving through difficulties will we be able to advance faster; otherwise, we will be left behind in dust by the five of them..."
Seeing that Fade was still hesitating, Kira added,
"Well, if we end up finding some strong enemy that we can't defeat, we will just leave... I have the teleportation scroll; no need to worry too much about it..."
"If things go south, we will be able to teleport out of the dungeon without any problems... Just like last time..."
Kira had teleported Fade out of the dungeon during the final exams, when Jiang was hunting him down.
Hearing about that teleportation scroll, Fade finally calmed down, and the nervousness on his face disappeared.
Fade nodded his head and took Kira's hand to enter the dungeon with a smile on his face.
"Let's go then! Today we are definitely going to ascend to rank A!!"
With that said, both Fade and Kira entered the dungeon in an instant.
...
Once inside the dungeon, what came into view was a wide grassland.
No matter in which direction you look, all you can see is green, lush grass covering the land until the horizon.
"Whoa! This place is quite beautiful; if not for the fact that this is a dungeon, I would have liked to sleep here..."
Kira nodded her head at Fade's words. She smiled and said,
"It's indeed beautiful, but there might be hidden dangers in the grass. Keep your guard up, or you might get caught in a trap or something..."
Fade nodded his head and said,
"Yeah, it would be quite easy to hide traps in this place; the ground is fully covered in grass after all."
Just then, Fade noticed a massive steel-fanged bear wandering in the distance, and he said, "Let's go and fight that bear... We will be able to figure out the difficulty of the dungeon by fighting that bear... If we can defeat it easily, then we won't need to worry..."
"And if it's too strong, then we can just retreat immediately..."
Kira also nodded her head, and the two of them carefully made their way to the bear.
They have fought as a team for a long time now, so the cooperation between them is very good.
[Intermediate water magic: Piercing water beam!]
[Intermediate water magic: Piercing water beam!]
Both of them usually train together, so their spells are very similar to each other, and they are both so in sync that they can easily guess what spell the other party would use.
Thus, they both can fire the same type of spell without needing to even communicate with each other.
But obviously, Kira's magic is weaker when compared to Fade, as he can simply use experience points to improve his proficiency, but Kira has to train for a long time to do that.
*ROAR!!**ROOAR!!*
The bears kept falling one by one as they got hit by the water arrows, and their painful groans
made the other bears feel intimidated.
The surviving few of them wanted to run away, but Fade's magic has auto-tracking ability;
the water arrows chased them till they got hit and died from the continuous attacks.
A happy smile appeared on Fade's face, but as he was out of mana, he was feeling quite weak
in his body.
He kept looking at the dying bears and said, in a calm voice, to Kira,
"Pass me a mana potion; I am out of mana and will need some energy to keep moving..."
Kira, who was standing behind him and was watching everything, suddenly smiled shrewdly
and nodded her head.
"Okay, here, take it..."
A strange golden-colored knife suddenly pierced Fade's back as he was about to stretch out his hand to hold the mana potion.
Blood flowed out of his back like a fountain, and when he glanced back, what he saw was the
creepy smile on Kira's face.
Before Fade could think of anything, Kira applied more pressure and thrust the knife into his
back even deeper.
Fade fell down on the ground, and blood flowed out of the wound continuously.
'I-I can't feel Mana.'
That was the last thought in his mind before he fell unconscious...
Kira ignored the shocked look on his face and brought out a teleportation scroll from her
space ring.
This scroll was even stronger and more precious than the previous one that she used in the
final exams.
She embedded her mana in the scroll and then teleported herself and Fade's unconscious body
in an instant.
All this while, a creepy and shrewd smile hung over her face, and a demonic crest kept shining with dark light on the back of her hand.
