26 Entering The Dungeon

They asked in shock, "Are you the real NightShade?"

Dro was confused by their reaction which they displayed in the chat box, he couldn't see their expressions but if he could, he would see their wide opened mouths.

NightShade answered, "I am, now come to our location," She spoke the words with annoyance in her voice, she was really tired of these reactions, the main reason she hanged around Dro, was because he didn't show such reaction even once and this slightly intrigued her.

Dro glanced at the girl and asked slightly confused, "Are you famous?"

Since they were now talking outside of party chat, the others didn't hear their conversation.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Yes, I played on an international pro team, so I am famous, but I retired four years ago."

Dro looked at the girl as he understood why he didn't know her, it was because Dro only became a NEET after she retired and before that he didn't pay any attention to pro gaming scene.

"Four years ago? How old are you?"

She narrowed her eyes and her voice carried slight anger, "Gentleman don't ask for the age of a woman, but I shall tell you, I am 27."

Dro smiled, "We are not that far apart I am 24"

She nodded her head and smiled, "Then let's conquer this dungeon."

He smiled and nodded, and turned his head into the distance. He waited for their three people to come. NightShade also looked in the same direction, both of them waited for a couple more minutes and after those minutes passed they were all standing together.

Pert looked at Dro and greeted him then his eyes directed at NightShade when he saw her. He cleared his throat and spoke, "You really are NightShade?"

She sighed as she just nodded her head, she herself didn't like meeting her brain-dead fans. Kyoko didn't show much of reaction for the international pro. While rock was drolling, and stuttering while he introduced himself.

Kyoko looked at Dro, "Hey Dro, what class did you get in the end?"

Dro smiled. "Hello and thanks for trying to help me last time with the others, as for class I got a unique class."

She raised an eyebrow revealing that she was surprised by this. Dro looked over three new members, opened the quest log and shared the quest. When they received the quest, their eyes widened as they looked at Dro. Looking over at the three members levels Dro saw, <Pert, Mage, Level 9>, <Kyoko, Paladin, Level 8>, <Rok, Warrior, Level 9>

They were slightly under levelled but Dro didn't think it was a problem, even though their main tank had slightly less HP than Dro. Pert looked at Dro and asked, "So this dungeon?"

Dro nodded his head and answered, "This is a dungeon, that became available to me and NightShade through the hidden quest. They all widened their eyes as they stared at Dro and NightShade. Pert, furrowed his brows and inquired, "Dro how did you even meet this international pro?"

NightShade looked coldly at Pert and answered with a tone that carried anger, "It's not your business how I met him, now let's go to the dungeon" SInce Pert acted that way earlier, she didn't have any respect for bot Pert and Rok. NightShade really hated brain-dead fans.

Kyoko looked surprised at NightShade while Pert and Rok were dumbfounded by how aggressive she was towards them. Pert, came up to Dro and inquired, "Did we do something to displease our goddess?"

Dro, shook his head while saying, "No idea."

NightShade came up to Dro and commanded, "Let's go already"

Dro slowly nodded his head, he saw that she became angrier after meeting these three new comrades. He led the way, they soon were standing before the entrance to the canal, and the beginning of the dungeon.

Dro pressed the pressure plate like the thief told them and the dungeon entrance was unlocked before them. Dro beckoned the group to follow him, entering the dungeon a message appeared which signified that they all entered the dungeon,

<Zandar Capital Canals, Dungeon 5, Level 10>

Entering the dungeon they all looked around, Pert Kyoko and Rok were all curious as this was their first dungeon in this Virtual reality game. Since it was only an entrance they didn't see much. When Dro noticed they were done smiled and spoke, "Let's go."

Pert stoped Dro from moving ahead by yelling out, "Wait!"

Dro looked back and inquired, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you leading, Dro? The tank is the one that leads."

Dro looked at Pert and spoke, "I am the highest level here, it should be wise if I go first."

Per shouted, "No! The tank will go first, I don't want a rookie to pull mobs carelessly."

Dro was shocked by Pert's statement, while NightShade just narrowed her eyes at Pert. While they were both shocked Rok came up front and spoke, "Let's go, I will lead."

He moved ahead walking boldly as the first one, he was also carrying a shield, but Dro was slightly worried as their tank was <level 9> and he didn't have any talent specialization. Before long a monster finally appeared before them, the monster itself was a big rat, it was the height of the child and wide as a small alley. It also had a foul stench even worse than they felt from that thief. Dro looked at the monster and saw it's health, he was shocked as this monster had a lot of HP for a <level 10 elite>

<Diseased Rat, Level 10, Elite>

<15,000/15,000 HP>

Rok seeing the monster just smiled as he roared, "Charge Men!"

NightShade frowned and the man rushed in wielding his short he utilised the skill <Charge> charging at the monster and getting its attention, he hit it with his weapon and pathetic damage value floated up <-310>

The rat sensing the pain turned around and lashed out at the tank, Pert started casting his mage spells. Dro seeing them engage in battle, used his own instant skill <Blood Spear> The skill managed to score a critical hit, that identifying message appeared <Critical>, he was lucky to score a critical on the first attack, <-10,269>

NightShade smiled as she released her own barrage of attacks

<Arcane Shot>

<1,125>

<Arcane Shot>

<-1.232>

<Arcane Shot>

<-1123>

She used all her resource for these skills, and each attack dealt 1,000 damage. When a monster was only one hit away NightShade used another skill,

<Executing Shot>

<-2,131>

The three new members were all dumbfounded as they looked at this pair of players. Their mouths were wide open, the monster died even before Pert could cast even one of his skills. Pert, could sense that his face was hit hard at this moment, he called Dro a newbie and now a few moments later, he slapped Pert in the face so hard he wanted to hide in a hole.
