I went to sleep in for the day when I received a message from Ava regarding, the mission we have tomorrow. Well at least let me see who is the client of our mission and what is he offering in return for completing the mission.
*******************************************************************************************************
Clearing of the red wood demons dungeon
The red wood demons have started to attack the commoners in the vicinity of the dungeon and the royal family does not have enough men to stop the overflow due to some unforeseen circumstances so we ask of you to clear the dungeon in our stead.
Client : The Royal Family
Rewards : The drops in the dungeon and the boss room, 500 gold.
Requirement : Two teams.
*******************************************************************************************************
What the heck, why did Ava choose this particular mission, from this client, what was she thinking, Fuck all this, I will just have to trust her, it's not like I have other dependable options. Well I will first send the message to Isaac.
"Boy I have a bad feeling about this" Lillian said materializing in the room.
"Really what is the worse that could happen" I said.
"You know you, haven't seen everything in this world, so don't be so oblivious to this" Lillian said clearly angry.
"Fine I will be on my toes for the mission." I said going to sleep and LIllian disappeared.
The next day I went to Jack in the morning and told him about the mission.
"LIsten, I know what happened with you and princess, so I will give you a special holochrome that will help me locate you if something happens to you" Jack said giving me a holochrome exactly same as mine, and then I started my training, today he stopped my dragon aura to 90 percent, this time I could feel the full force of waterfall on my body. I was being crushed but it was endurable and then i started feeling the strengthening of my body.
' He must be feeling the effects of the waterfall by just now, the increase in the overall dragon energy channeling, and the ability to feel the nature energy around himself. ' Jack thought.
"That's enough for today zack, now you must head to the workshop and get ready to depart." Jack said helping me stand up.
"Thank you, for the lessons, I will come after a week" I said bowing to him.
"Sure,sure" The old man said leaving.
Anyhow i went to the cafeteria after changing into some dry clothes, ad as I reached the cafeteria there were a lot less people than yesterday, I think most of them went on their missions today early morning to complete as many missions as they can.
I met charlotte in the cafeteria who was looking at me all weirdly.
"Hello" I said looking towards her.
"Oh h-hi" she said looking at me.
"Listen you don't need to be so formal around me, just call me Zack." I said.
"Oh thank you, I will remember that sir" She said.
As she said sir I let out a smile probably first in two weeks.
"Hey Zack" Ava said coming from behind and suddenly Charlotte flinched for a sec or so I think.
"SO where is the sleepy head." I asked her.
"Behind you" She said laughing.
"Hey" Gray said appearing behind me.
"Hello" now only Isaac's team was required to show up.
After 10 minutes they showed up.
"Hey let's go" Isaac said appearing in the cafeteria.
"Yeah, Just get to know each other when we are on our way" I said, getting up.
We went to the gates of the workshop where we saw the wagons waiting for us, the driver asked for the mission template and Ava handed it to him, and then we were on our way. I was awkwardly quiet in the wagon when Isaac comes up to me and asks,
"Tell me why do you think the royal family is unable to supply the needed reinforcements to the commoners."
"Well I think they must be needed else where that's why!"
"That's not it, I asked someone I now regarding the dungeon assigned to us and as it turns out the dungeon in in the fields where the weaker one's live so the thought it would be a waste to send army there and hence decided to send the candidates in"
"SO it was the king who did it, you say." I said.
"You could say so, the royal family does not treat the candidates and the weaker one's well enough" Ava said.
"It's not just the royal family, me when I was a kid have seen many nobles violate the werker one's and the leave them to die." Jane for the first time said anything at all.
"That's too harsh of a thinking style but okay,but yeah" Ava said.
"Ava dont say something you don't know about." Gray said in a higher tone.
and we reached the destination. i could sense the vile energy of the demons even when there were none in sight.
"Well I hope everyone is ready, we need to finish this up in a weeks time and go on another mission." I said.
"Well then what are we waiting for let's proceed." Isaac said.
As soon as we entered the dungeon it became alltogether a new world, there was light in the dungeon even when there was no sun. I saw red roots on the ground, wriggling.
"Be careful not to touch the red roots, they are wriggling as if it's alive, First the wolves go ahead and do the reconesense of the dungeon and find out if there are any demons ahead." I said and Isaac instructed the same to Jane.
And both of them ran ata astounding speeds almost becoming invisible to the common man's eye.After ten minutes both of them came running back.
"We need to get out of this-." Jane said.
"It's going to be fine, we just saw three demons 200 metres into the dungeon." Ava said before Jane could finish her sentence.
"Okay then let's see what is down there."
"Gray, let's go" And I suddenly felt a tremor in the ground, it were the demons, "What happened"
"I think i accidentally kept my foot on a red vine." Ava said.
Suddenly I saw around a dozen of the monsters running toward's us.
"Gray and charlotte, use your powers to the fullest and try to block them, while the rest evacuate, once everyone is done, i will take your place and you will evacuate."
"Let us help" Isaac said.
"NO we brought you along with us, i don't want you to get killed just because of the mistake of our wolf" And turned to look at Ava who was outside the dungeon suddenly. "You too" I said.
"If you are alive after this check your holochrome, you dumbass son of a bitch" Ava said as she escaped.
"Just go I will handle them, Charlotte, Gray go with Isaac's team I will hold them off" I could see the demons almost here around 50 meters away I could not let them escape the entrance.
"Dragon arts- Energy style- absolute zero" I said as my companions escaped and someone closed off the entrance, probably Ava.
"The attack I used decapacitated them for some time."Dragon arts- Sword style- Icicle Barrage" and in the panic i summoned more then a hundred icicles finally killing the horde.
Why did Ava do this, and suddenly a message pinged on my holochrome, it was some kind of mission.
