4 The Coronation I

I stopped in front of her high school gate to drop her off " Bye see you Tomorrow. I won't be home until late tonight or maybe tomorrow because we've got a big dungeon " she nodded her head and shrugged it off, but then she stopped suddenly a few meters from my car

" be careful Temp" she said in caring tone. " aren't I always " I replied trying to lighten the mood and set her mind at ease before I started the car and drove off.

As I was driving towards the area where the dungeon was said to be I began to wonder, "she has never been interested or worried about me in hunts. Why today of all days" I spoke to myself. Looking back it could have been a hint of what was to come, a warning, a foreshadowing of the death and pain that was going to follow. I ignored that thought and drove it to the back of my mind. The squad master called me

"Where the hell are you tempest " he screamed down his phone, I could practically feel the rage through the phone

" im on my way, I got stuck in traffic " I replied calmly.

He abruptly hung up the phone. I made sure my daggers were sharp and ready and I hoped that I had stacked enough weak mana potions for the day. As I arrived to the dungeon gate in my car I noticed. No everyone could notice something was up, the gate has ornate devilish tone. The key to the dungeon itself looked like something out of a fantasy novel. In the back of my mind I thought there is no possible way that this could be a C class dungeon. The Mana it was giving off was not only too high but .. it was too dark, it felt like it was waiting for us to enter, almost like it dared us to go inside and witness our own deaths.

Some C class slayer said " Boss I don't think we should do this one, it seems a bit harder than just a C class don't you think ?"

The squad master replied " absolutely not do you know how hard it is to organise and get a dungeon of this level and size without being one of the big clans?!" he said with a hint of pride as if this achievement was going to lead him to riches, but in hindsight if it was a normal C class it could've, I could imagine him salivating at the idea of the amount of money that he could get. And

nobody could judge him for it. As he inserted the key in the lock , he smirked and looked back and I could see the bloodlust on his face before he said " let's go to war !" all of the members of the raid bellowed out their most blood curdling scream before rushing in, little did we all know that only 3 people in the raid party of 30 would return that day, and although they were all screaming in premature glory, we were all pretty sure that the harrowing fate of these doors had just fallen upon us.
