Chapter 308: The Heaven\'s chosen... Part-1.
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.
Nowadays, Kira is barely even able to keep up with Fade\'s improvement speed, as he is improving fast and is leaving her behind in dust.
If not for the fact that Rio has been stealing and blocking his way, Fade would have already become a peak-A ranker by now, just like Link and Rio.
*gRRRAAHHH!*
When the water beams hit the bear, they pierced its skin, and a large wound was created on the side of its stomach. Its internal organs started to spill out of its body due to that.
The bear roared loudly in pain and collapsed on the ground, then Fade immediately fired another water beam and blasted its head off.
Yet, instead of happiness, a look of confusion appeared on Fade\'s face.
"huh? The monsters in this dungeon are surprising weaker than I was expecting... or have I become stronger?"
Thinking about how he might have become stronger, Fade smiled happily.
Just when Fade was smiling happily, Kira pointed her finger in a certain direction and said,
"I am detecting the presence of a lot of steel bears coming closer... They must have been attracted by the painful roars of this bear..."
A look of worry appeared on Kira\'s face as she said,
"Fade, there are too many of them; let\'s retreat for now!"
Fade ignored Kira\'s warning and said, with a smirk on his face,
"Hmph! No matter how many of them are here, it doesn\'t matter! They are all just weak and easy prey! I will kill them all!"
Just now, Fade got a lot of \'Exp\' by killing that bear. Now that a lot of them are coming his way, how can he bear to let those free \'exp\' bags go away so easily.
He wants to collect enough \'Exp\' today and use it to ascend to rank A at any cost.
He considers Link and Liam as his greatest enemies whom he must trample under his feet, but
they both are in rank A now, which is very hard for Fade to bear.
He wants to become strong and beat the sh*T out of those two rich bast*rds.
A shrewd smile appeared on Fade\'s face,
\'Once I kill those two rich bast*rds, that dragon girl and that naïve candy girl both will be
mine! I will manipulate them and add them to my harem!! Hahaha\'
Just when Fade was busy thinking about various things in his mind, the group of bears arrived
and immediately started attacking Fade and Kira.
But Fade wasn\'t intimidated at all; he raised his staff towards the sky and cast his magic,
\'I will finish them all in one go!\'
[Intermediate Water Magic: Maximum Output: Water Arrow Bombardment!]
Fade was planning on leaving this place with Kira after getting rid of this group of bears, so he poured all of his mana into that one attack.
Steel-fanged bears are peak B-rank monsters, and there are nearly a hundred of them rushing towards Fade and Kira; thus, Fade used such a powerful spell to wipe them out in one go.
\'I will kill these bears and then retreat to some safe place with Kira\'s support, then we will come back to the dungeon after recovering mana and resting for a while...\'
\'We can surely conquer the whole dungeon if we keep repeating this process again and again!\'
A massive magic circle appeared in the sky, and gigantic water arrows poured down from it, bombarding the whole group of bears continuously.
Although Fade had to use all of his mana to cast this magic, he was able to easily get rid of the
whole group of bears.
His eyes shone brightly as he saw the amount of \'Exp\' he was getting by slaughtering the
whole group of bears.
\'Keke... I will definitely ascend to rank A if I can just kill a few hundred more...\'
*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.
