Chapter 3 betrayal

1 MONTH LATER

After 2 weeks of training the queen assigned all of us personal teachers to help us better understand our abilities and master them to our fullest potential.

The royals were gifted the best teachers and were given the best training while weaker shmucks like me were given teachers that they found off the streets.

I wasn't able to get any information of my skills because I had lied during the evaluation and my teacher didn't give two fucks about me.

During the sponsor's visit Brad and the rest of the royals were sponsored by families like the Monroe's, Mercers, and the Beauchamp's. The wealthiest families in the not only the kingdom but also the continent.

I was sponsored by the cartier family, the weakest of all the families in the kingdom. The only reason they decided to sponsor me was because I was labeled a hero. They were eyeing Sarah, another royal, but she decided to go with the Monroe family, the same as Brad. Not shocking since their dating.

Come the day where we had the dungeon raid. I had no idea how to defend myself. The only thing I had was a sword. That I didn't even know how to use.

I walked around the city looking for any magic items that I could use during the raid. After looking for an hour I found some health and strength potions.

When I return to the palace, I begin to get ready for the raid. The general said that this was a newly discovered dungeon. It was not only for us to test our skills but for the Fistulas kingdom to help improve their military strength.

After waiting for an hour, our group moves out and heads to the dungeon. Halfway through our trip the general takes a break and we sit down for a few minutes. As I go to lay down in my tent, I witness the general talking with his men. It seems like they are discussing battle formation plans.

Before we began moving towards the dungeon the queen had prepared carriages for us with necessities like food, water, and equipment.

Arriving in front of the dungeon entrance. It looks like an abandoned mine with what seems to be moss and others growing out of the rocks.

We enter the dungeon we have the warrior and defenders in the front while the mages are in the middle. In the back we have the weakest fighters and the healers, the general is in the back with us commanding us what to do.

The inside of the cave is just like the outside of the cave it's filled with moss, and it has an unknown text in an unknown language. Not even the general knows of the text.

After a few minutes of walking, we encountered the first monster. It's 8 long legs, the 8 eyes that stare down at you. The spiders but they're not any ordinary spiders they are 190 cm tall.

Their massive height scares most of the students in our group but the brave one's attack and easily defeat them.

They look intimidating but they are rather weak. One slash from Jeffrey was able to kill them. Jeffrey was a berserker who in our old world liked to rush into fights.

We continue walking and we continue killing anything that we come across. Goblins, ogres, and spiders. And new species I have never heard about before. The most dangerous monster we have come across so far has been the Embertalon the venom gorilla. It put up a good fight but still was no match for the front lines of our formation.

We continue moving forward until the general commands us to stop.

Everyone stop!

We were in front of an unknown door.

The general is weary of opening the door, but the other soldiers convince him to open the door. Something he seemed hesitant to do.

Only if he hadn't things might have changed.

Steven and Barbra walk up to the door and start to push it open. It makes sense that they're the ones to try and open the door because they are the tanks of our formation.

Even with their massive amounts of strength they still struggle to open the door. They barely even managed to move the door.

It took all of us to move the door but even then, we still struggled to open it. For some unknown reason I was drawn to this place. Like a magical presence was calling for me.

When we entered the room, it was pitch black. Nothing, we could see nothing. I could only hear the general yelling for us to stay together.

I feel a random hand grab me. I could hear them asking to hold on to their hand. I obliged to their request and held their hands as tight as possible.

The darkness was quickly gone and replaced with a bright white light. In the moments that followed a distinct voice spoke to us.

Hmm Adventures... No heroes. How amusing to think that you came across this area you poor souls. None of you will be able to satisfy my appetite it'll be best to just kill you all.

Who are you Brad says not caring about the current situation going. He let his power get to his head. His ego was at an all-time high.

Oh, we have a confident one and He is quite strong... For a human being.

As I watched Chuck get the upper half of his body ripped off, he was yelling Don't fuck with us! I'll kill you at the monster that was speaking to us.

Ah! He's dead!

Don't panic, heroes stay in formation.

FUCK THAT RUN AWAY!

NO, STAY STILL!

Panic had ensued and everyone was scrambling to find a way out. The creature had been killing anyone who had come close to it. We stood no chance, we had to find a way out.

G-guy's I found a way o-

POP!

AH!

I want my mom!

I don't want to die.

The once great heroes who were filled with confidence had regressed into nothing but little kids, some crying for their mom's, others begging for their lives.

Please spare me I can give you money.

Money isn't what satisfies me. Your life is what I want.

Ple-

POP!

No matter how much they begged, no matter what they offered the creature wouldn't care. It would only kill them for its amusement.

Guys we need to bust down the door. Sarah use your fire magic to break down the door.

Alright.

Sarahs attempt to use her magic worked and created a gap big enough for a human fit through. Everyone was running towards the exit desperate to survive.

Move bitch!

While I was running, I saw the creature staring at me. It had bloodshot eyes and it seemed to be angry watching me run away.

The creature used a fire spell that burned 5 of us now there were only two people left inside the rest of the class had already exited through the hole.

The person running behind me was brad, he had tears down his face, and he was begging for his life. It made me feel bad and he fell, and he begged me to help him. I couldn't help but go back to save him. I know he was an ass to me before, but everyone deserves second chances.

We continue running and are almost at the exit but then I see blood a lot of blood I thought that it was brad who got killed but instead I saw brad Infront of me laughing.

W-what?

Become a sacrifice for me to survive you tool.

W-why why? I never did anything wrong, why am I going to die like this. I don't want to die. I barely got to live my life.

Why?
