Crisis :

Arriving on the scene, Max saw a group of 6 people, made up of 2 women, 1 of whom was half-woman, half-cat, and 4 men, 2 of whom were dwarfs with intimidating hammerheads ranging from 22 to 45 years old for the oldest.

"I'm coming for the porter position, I accepted the offer 30 minutes ago," Max said as he approached the group.

"It's not too soon, a little more and the rift would have released the monsters" one of them almost spat at me with a look of contempt.

"Very well, we are now complete, get up and prepare to enter" announced the one-eyed dwarf who was to be the leader.

"You (pointing to me) stay behind us and just carry supplies, any trouble on your part we'll kill you." »

I nod and the group goes into the blue rift. I close my eyes and feel stretched, distorted. The feeling stops and I crash into hard, weedy ground. I raise my head, I am the center of looks of disappointment and disgust. They understood that I didn't even have an ability. After a last look the dwarf leader takes the lead and in close formation we head north after the compass of the cat girl named Clarisse.

"Goruk Stop" suddeny said the chief after only 5 minutes of walking to the other dwarf who was in the lead.

The group stops. Two seconds later, a gathering of 5 bats with protruding eyes and 16 cm long vampire teeth charge at us at rapid speed.

" Training ! Steph shield forward! The two girls behind in support! Get ready ! Dwarf leader yells.

As I stay behind, I see the two girls singing and their various skills activate, hitting other party members and granting them buffs like [+12% damage] or various resistances.

Thirty seconds later, Dwarven Chief and Goruk killed half of the vampire bats present in a fight at a speed my eyes couldn't follow.

I'm still bored to death. It's a weak group compared to what the old Max saw on the internet. Breathtaking skill battles or strategies between legions of monsters, each more terrifying than the next. Whereas here, it's just 5 lame old bats and they put a lot of pressure on themselves.

This is only the first encounter with monsters and they already waste so much mana.

Either dwarf leader doesn't care if the others die by beasts because they can't defend themselves anymore after being exhausted or he's strong enough to protect the group or he's stupid. I'm leaning more towards the first option.

Coming to my senses, I see that the fight is already over. We continue our roads and after a few other dozens of fights we head towards a cave emitting a pressure that suffocates me. This pressure coupled with my hunger makes my legs shake. The others laugh when they see this. Only the cat girl feels some compassion and pity for me.

I follow them as we enter. Towards the end of the tunnel a huge red door decorated with some spiral patterns appears in front of us.

"Okay, we're going to get behind this door, with the forces we have left we have to finish the fight as soon as possible. Normally we will fight a boss of rank F+ at most" reminded dwarf boss.

The group walks through the door.

A huge cave presents itself to my eyes, stalagmites, stalactites and crystals of mana* abound on the walls. In the distance, a huge shadow looms. Approximately 30 meters long 4 wide. Next to this shadow, fifteen pairs of red eyes light up at the same time.

"H'...H'..He's an E-rank boss," Goruk stutters.

The dwarven leader's expression hardened. In addition to this boss out of reach for the team, there are about fifteen vampire bats as reinforcements. They will divide our attention and we will then be much more vulnerable.

Without waiting for the team to be ready, a red light suddenly flashed blinding us.

The shadow opened its eyes and moved. The team's tank, Steph disappeared at the same time. An explosion sounded to our right. As we looked in the direction of the noise, blood rained down on our bodies. Steph was just a patty of flesh dripping down the wall.

Without using any special skill, the giant shadow just with its speed, had destroyed one of our limbs. Catgirl drops to her knees, horrified at the sight and the prospect that she will soon die. Low morale and an impossible retreat because when you enter the boss room, it is impossible to get out before finishing the boss.

"In mop band formation!" As usual it's the human who dies first, I should have hired someone else" the dwarf leader annoyed.

"It'll either be him or us, so prepare to fight to the death"

"AND YOU, DON'T OBSTRUCT US" Goruk bellows at me

Dwarf chief gets into a ball, his body shakes and in 2 seconds his body is covered with steel and he grows 10 meters, on his blade is also applied a theirs as red as his eyes after the activation of a skill probably related to [Bloodlust] or [Berserk].

The battle begins, lights burst everywhere. I cover my ears which were in agony from the intertwining bellow\roar of giant dwarf boss and huge fast shadow.

Next to them the members of the team still manage to retain the 15 vampire bats, but without the tank and boss the pressure is greater. In addition, the enemies are very fast flying monsters which increases the difficulty to dodge\predict their attacks but also to inflict damage on them.

Suddenly a vampire bat crashes not far from me after a lucky hit from Goruk.

"FINISH IT"

Terrified I still take the dagger they stored in the bag they gave me to carry at the start of the expedition.

I arrive in front of the monster, its hot and putrid breath whips my face. I raise the dagger above my head, he can't resist.

EXECUTION.
