Change of POV: 3rd POV
Morgan's Room.
Morgan, James and Elisa are in Morgan's room waiting for Morgan to summon D-Rank Gate.
One more person has been added to their ranks too. John Smith, a C-Rank Assassin with Stealth Skill.
James and Elisa are wearing their previous equipment.
Morgan is still using make-shift Leather Armor, [Kasaka's Venom Fang] strapped on her left hip and holing [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] in her right hand while clicking on [System]'s window.
~Swosh!
Gate appeared in the center of the room, this one is almost twice as big as previous E-Rank Gate. Almost covering whole room in it's sheer size.
"~Whistle~ This one sure is big." Commented Elisa before James interrupted to add his own two cents.
"Yeah, it's even bigger than standard D-Rank Dungeons." James added as he relaxed his shoulders slightly.
And John Smith, newest addition to Morgan's squad decided to lit a cigar and smoke.
"Puff~ If you think this is big then wait and see when our lady summons a C-Rank Dungeon with a boss." Johm Smith puffed out the smoke from his mouth before crushing his cigar and throwing it from the window.
John Smith looks like a middle aged man, in his later 30s with slightly graying hair. He is wearing all black clothes to better feet in Cave-Like Dungeons, with leather armor underneath it.
And his weapon of choice is [Kasaka's Venom Fang] Dagger, pretty neat ain't it?
While John Smith and James Bond are bickering, Morgan cast a glance towards D-Rank Gate's Stats.
[Dungeon-Stats]
[Rank: D]
[Number of Monsters: 253]
[Boss: Kasaka]
[Primary Monster: Steel-Fanged Raikan, Razor-Clawed Briga, Black-Shadow Razan]
[Number of entries: 4] [Maximum 2 D-Rank and one C-Rank]
No wonder Morgan was allowed to enter with one C-Rank if Kasaka is a boss. Even for D-Rank bosses, that snake is troublesome.
'Kasaka ha? This might be a pain in the ass to deal with but I should level up at least 3 times..' Morgan though before her hands moved towards her head and pushed her hair back.
Morgan rubbed her temples for a moment before she turned around towards her team.
"I got good news and bad news/ Which one do you want to hear first?" She asked sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at her subordinates behavior.
It was Elisa who answered with a grin on her face." Tell us the good news!"
Morgan nodded. " The good news is that enemies are these Magic Beasts: Steel-Fanged Raikans, Razor-Clawed Briga and Black-Shadow Razan."
John face-palmed at this. " Then I suppose that bad news would be boss?"
" The weapons us two are using." She pointed at John's dagger and her own along with her spear." Are made from Kasaka's Venom Fangs, and boss is Kasaka. An enormous snake that is, I'm pretty sure that our weapons would be able to penetrate it's skin but I'm not sure about venom since well, it comes from same species,"
Now that shut them up.
Both James and Elisa saw what effects Morgan's weapons have and how efficient they are in action, and now they are supposed to fight a boss with same venom?
It's pretty much game over for D-Rank Hunters like them if Snake bites them, paralysis and drain activated kills them immediately if they are not swallowed after first bite that is.
And John, he used [Kasaka's Venom Fang] against Low-Class Stray Devils before and is aware how efficient it is.
"So shall we enter?" Morgan said before she marched towards the portal, two D-Rank Hunters and C-Rank Hunter exchanged looks for a second before grinning and following their lady into danger and very possible death.
-Dungeon
"Oh this is different from previous ones." Spoke Morgan, what she meant is that previous Dungeons were all Cave-Type Dungeons but this one seems like a station.
Underground train station to be rpecise.
"Indeed, I have never seen a Dungeon like this one.." Muttered James before he got slapped over the head by Elisa.
"Idiot! I'ts not like you have been in many C-Rank Dungeons to begin with!" She reprimanded him as James proceeded to rub his head at where she hit him.
As for John, well he decided to lit another Cigar cause he can.
"Let's continue our descent on stairs, but be prepared for above at ceiling. Razor-Clawed Briga's usually ambush from ceilings any mo-" Just when John was giving advice to Morgan, as if Razor-Clawed Briga's wanted to prove his words, just jumped from the ceiling towards Morgan, four of them.
But Morgan acted the moment she 'heard a sound' and fired a [Firebolt] towards them. Killing three and seriously burning the fourth one before she walked towards it stabbed it since it fell just behind her.
"-ment they can ~sigh~ " John sighed before taking one more smoke, at first he expected that he would need to babysit their Master and save her ass in the Dungeon, but apparently beside being knowledgeable their master is also capable enough to take care of herself.
For now that is.
Four of them continued moving, but now in formation.
Two Tankers in front, and Morgan in middle, while John as Assassin-Type Hunter would stay last in the line and interfere if 'Anything' decided to attack from behind and just take care of their whole formation.
They first discovered that 'this Dungeon' has floors.
First floor only had about 50-70 Magic Beast, From Razor-Clawed Briga's to even Goblins and Steel-Fanged Raikans, they cleared it in ten minutes without any problem.
Since they are not holding back anymore due to Morgan already being capable to pull 'D-Rank' strength despite being C-Rank.' SO these flies would not help her much if she kills them, and since they have limited amount of time it would be better to speed run this Dungeon while John acts as shield on behind.
And John certainly proved useful, he will a tramp card against Kasaka but his actions till now to take care of 'Razor-Clawed Briga's' who attack from behind proved useful. It's not that the three D-Rank Hunters wouldn't have been capable to deal with them but it would have been time wasting.
Morgan did not level up yet.
-Second Floor-
On second floor they meet resistance of over 100+ Magic Beasts. This is where Morgan truly shined with her spamming [Firebolt] at incoming 'Steel-Fanged Raikans' and 'Black- shadow Razan'
It took them about 25 minutes to clear it. Because of how much numbers Magic Beasts wasted on them by ambushing them first with over 60+ Magic Beasts, they soon retreaded and hided from them. That's the reason it took 25 minutes.
This is where Morgan Leveled up for once.
[LEVEL UP! 1X[
[Level Reached: 14]
Now they are resting near the stairs leading to third floor.
Rest will take only 10 minutes, since walking down the stairs seemed to tire them more than Monsters do.
Morgan glanced at her [Quest-Tab]
[Quest: Clear D-Rank Dungeon]
[Description: Clear D-Rank Dungeon with a Team!]
[Progress: 0/1]
[Rewards: 10 Stats Points]
For Morgan, those 10 Stats Points are pretty equal to several Level Ups and if she uses them all on single stats it would be as if she leveled up Ten times on that stats that is.
"Let's go!"
She ordered before they moved down.
-Third Floor-
Third floor had about 90 Magic Monsters it seemed, they took them all out in less than 15 minutes. This time even John participated.
They did it so Morgan could save up her [Firebolt] for Kasaka.
Now they are over with it too and are walking down stairs, towards Fourth floor and probably the last one since number of monsters they eliminated exceeded well above 200 by now.
~Thunk~
As they entered the fourth floor, they are made with as expected 'Another' hole for train to go trough, but deeper into underground than previous floors.
And what's different about this particular floor is water, where train would have passed before through is now just a small 'river' of water.
"Kasaka will proba-" She didn't have enough time to finish before purple snake, a giant humongous purple snake leaped from water towards her, she was saved only because John Smith was here, he grabbed her before jumping away. "Thanks!" She screamed at him.
John simply nodded.
Kasaka turned around sharply towards them but this time Morgan was ready, she shoot two [Firebolt]'s directly into Kasaka's opened approaching Jaws.
But Kasaka shock them off as nothing and continued towards them,.
Luckily for Morgan, John was there to grab her and jump away from approaching snake, but snake this time sharply turned towards in mid-air.
"Fuck!" Screamed John, they both are now in air, they cannot get away!
But!
One of the tankers used [Taunt], and Kasaka's eyes immediately turned from purple into red as it sharply turned towards the Tanker who used [Taunt] revealing the tank to be none other than James.
While James distracted Kasaka, Elisa slashed at Kasaka's body, near it's tal with full force but her weapon only bounced off. " A fucking D-Rank Sword!" She screamed before getting swatted away by Kasaka's end of the tail.,
As a Tanker this attack did nothing but buy time for Snake.
Snake continued it's approach towards James, James with steel in eyes was ready to meet the beast.
Like Heroes of old against Monsters.
Just when Kasaka was about to swallow him whole, James saw his chance. His shield that he always wore on his left arm, he used it to struck the Kasaka's Fang with all his force.
He knew that f he misses, the fang would pierce him and he would die. But a bet is a bet!
The force of his shield only caused his shield to break, and for Kasaka to roar in pain due to two 'consecutive forces' being pushed against each other at same time. Causing another distraction as Kasaka trashed around in pain.
But it was not over, Elisa used her [Taunt] but not before casting a gaze towards Morgan and John.
Kasaka despite feeling pain, chugged it all down and under [Taunt] influence it turned towards Elisa, opened it's jaw and slithered at her!
It was enough for James to run away.
Both John wasn't about to waste such opportunity. He glanced at Morgan, only to see her nodding at him in permission.
With permission, he hoisted Morgan before using all his strength and throwing his Lady towards incoming Snake.
It added into bonus that Elisa was turned towards them, so Snake would only pay attention towards Elisa but would be in direct line for 'Archer' or thrower if they had one.
Since they did not, second best option was to throw Morgan with her [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] and hope it has effect on Snake despite it being it's own venom.
~THUD!~ John did not hold back in throwing Morgan at all, Morgan's weight + C-Rank Hunter Assassin-Type strength combined created a small 'venom-rocket'.
In several seconds, Morgan's spear pierced Kasaka's left eye directly without any resistance. A proof and testament to quality of [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear].
Next instant, [Taunt] effect disappeared. But Morgan noticed that 'purple lines' are starting to circle Kasaka's right eye.
"Venom works!" Morgan exclaimed before she pulled out her [Kasaka's Venom Fang] Dagger and continuously started mercilessly stabbing it's open wound in the left eye.
Morgan's grip tightened on her spear, with how much spear pierced deep into it's flesh she would have trouble pulling it out with both hands, and especially Kasaka who trashed it's head in mid-air in hopes of shaking Morgan off from it's head.
~Hissss!~ The serpent hissed, but Morgan was unrelenting, she continued stabbing and stabbing! One after each one!
Snake did not try to launch itself towards walls of the fourth floor, it seemed to have enough of intelligence to understand if it did that, that it would only plunge the spear further into it's eye.
Morgan lost the number of how many times she stabbed it. It must have passed dozens of times already.
Despite venom having effect on Kasaka, it must be minimal amount since it did not die,
While Morgan continued stabbing the serpent, all three of them: John, James and Elisa approached. All of them ready to extract their Lady if something goes awry.
John lurking in the ceiling, ready to jump at any moment towards the snake.
While two Tankers are just next to snake, ready to use [Taunt] once more.
But just when John was about to jump towards the snake and stab it's remaining eye, the snake collapsed on ground.
With one final hiss.
"Hiss!!" Before it died.
