Chapter 16 - CH(16): A FIERY DISPLAY

Leon pulled out his weapon, [Flambé Uno's (SS-rank weapon)] and rushed outside the café. All the people inside had a sense of relief as they saw that an S-rank player had the situation under control. The portal to the dungeon appeared near the parking lot area of the café and the horde of monsters had already got out of the portal. At the left side of the monsters stood horse like creatures with flames around their eyes and feet. Up in the air soared another kind of monsters at very quick speed. At the right side where monsters who looked like developee versions of goblins with armor and more sophisticated weapons. To top it all of before the monsters was a gaint humanoid creature with extremely pale skin and a helmet around it's skull but it's face visible. It held a gaint toothed club and a chain in his other hand. "These monsters are not normal", Denzel said as he got up from his café seat. "Why have they appeared now? Humanity's strength is not capable of handling such threats yet", Denzel said as he wore his psycho mask.

[Psycho mask has been equipped. +50% AURA, +50%MP, +40%AGI]

This dungeon has a very perplexing nature and as Denzel appraised it, he found out why.

[Mayhem Island: (C-rank dungeon)]

This dungeon contains four different species of monsters that live and breed successful in it. (Warning!: Avoid picking direct confrontation with a single species because the rest will hunt you down).

Denzel's appraisal abilities had gotten more efficient and now gave a detailed description on the 'set target. Denzel's further appraisal showed him just what they were dealing with,"These monsters, Leon can't handle them alone", Denzel said as he leaped over a car.

[Lightning Birds Lvl.28 (C-rank)] X14

[Flame Stallions Lvl.30 (C-rank)] X10

[Armored Kobolds Lvl.27 (C-rank)] X15

[Ogre Lvl.45 (B-rank)] X1

While Olivia helped those inside to escape, Denzel and Leon fought against the monsters from the dungeon. Leon stood in front of the monsters and swung his sword in the air a few times,"I'm ready". His eyes glowed golden red as he prepared his first attack;

~Flame Ambiance -

Leon clashed with a Kobold and slashed it's hand off completely with a fflame style attack. The kobold cried out in pain but to no avail. Leon followed up his first attack with another set of quick slashes cutting the kobold into pieces seemlesly cutting through it's heavy armor. Leon quickly noticed how strong these monsters were as compared to his previous battles just after a single clash with the unlucky test kobold. A grin appeared on Leon's face,"Took you long enough". It was Denzel wearing the Psycho mask(..-rank) with his dagger in his hand. "What's that toy you're wearing","Not now Leon, let's deal with these monsters first". Leon and Denzel teamed up and were ready to rain hell on the monsters. The flame Stallions charged towards Leon and Denzel but Leon stopped them dead in their tracks," Where do you think you're going,[Encircling Fire Wall]". Leon released another flame attack, this time surrounding the the flame Stallions with a wall of fire. Leon used the wall as an obscuring tool to send in another deadly attack unnoticed.

~Flame Demon Style: Firery Embers~

The stallions didn't see the attack coming until it was about making contact with them. The stallions neighed in agony. Leon was able to both conjure flames like the mage class and use deadly weapon attack like the warrior class because he was one of the few rare players known as The Hybrid Class Players. Hybrid class players are players that can use more than one class' abilities efficiently. Leon was truly unmatched when it came to tactics. The monsters began to group together and attack as a mechanism to prevent our proganists from dividing and conquering them. The monsters tactics worked and as a result they began to push Denzel and Leon back.

Olivia was done evacuating all the civilians in the area and was on her way to help out. Before she entered the battlefield she made one final call to someone."Sir Milo, I need reinforcement at May's Café, Main Street 191. There's been a dungeon break". "Copy", the voice on the other end of the phone call said before Olivia cut the call. Olivia enterd the battlefield and was immediately noticed by three armored Kobolds who tried to attack her. The one who led the three leaped and raised it's club about to bash Olivia's head in. Olivia's eyes glowed yellow and in an instant, the kobold was in 5 pieces with all it's limbs and head severed from it's torso. The other kobolds knew not to foolishly die like their comrade did because to them, all they saw was their comrade getting killed by thin air. If only they knew... Their comrade wasn't killed by the air but was killed by strings. Olivia's ability helps her control strings and manuever them through impossible angles. These strings can only be seen by an individual with good and sharp eyes. "Why are you guys chickening out", Olivia said with a mocking smile on her face.

~String alignment~

Olivia sent her strings further away from her towards the kobolds. The unsuspecting kobolds could not react in time and they got decapitated. Olivia felt something coming from behind at a very quick speed. Olivia dodged the attack in instinct and the object came crashing into the ground creating a huge crater in the ground. "You can see through my strings. Looks like some of you guys are actually smart". The monster let out a huge shriek before throwing a lightning bolt at Olivia. Olivia dodged the attack but the monster followed the attack making a direct hit on Olivia sending her flying. Olivia was bleeding but still had a smile on her face. She had never experienced such pain and struggle in a long time. Her opponent was a lightning bird. These birds have very sharp vision and inhumane speeds that can go up to supersonic speed. This was going to be a tricky battle.

Denzel and Leon's battle continued on the front lines. They began to even win the battle pushing the Kobolds and stallions back. A heavy feeling suddenly came over Denzel making him feel all weird. No one noticed but due to his heightened senses he was able to detect the fast black flying object coming directly at Leon. He knew no one could survive taking a hit from that thing, so he did what seemed logical to him that moment. He pushed Leon out of the way taking the full hit. Denzel was sent crashing into a nearby car which exploded on impact. Both Olivia ans Leon saw nothing. If the object was as fast as the lightning bird then it would have been manageable but this one was just too fast. The black object finally revealed itself. A Mighty looking black bird with a very commanding aura. The Leader of the lightning birds.

[Black Lightning Bird Lvl.45] X1

There was no way anyone could survive that attack. Leon and Olivia were sure Denzel was dead. Leon was enraged and tears began to roll down his cheeks,"You're gonna pay". The air became musky and full of bloodlust, heavy amounts of bloodlust. Leon was not thinking straight anymore and began to go on a rampage.

~Flames Of Judgment: Hellfire Blast!~

A sea of flames engulfed the whole place killing of most the stallions and kobolds. The attack used up all his 'MP' and was exhausted. Leon fell to his knees and lost the zeal to keep on fighting,"What's the reason anyway? They're all gone",Leon said as he continued to cry. Even a monster like Leon had his limits and it seemed like he had reached it. The ogre who hadn't moved a step in the battle finally took it first steps.

ROAR!

The ogre raised his club and was ready to squash Leon to paste with it. The orgre struck but it's club wasn't moving, using what last energy she had left Olivia used her strings to restrain the club of the ogre,"Get out of there!", she yelled at Leon. Leon had gone deaf and could not hear what she was saying. Olivia's strings began to tear one by one, time was running out.....

While the battle still went on, deep within the exploded car's midst A monster began awakening....
