First Quest

« I know master, but read the description. A team of low tier hunters never returned from an intermediate dungeon. The rank of the quest is so high because we can encounter the guardian on our way. And given that this is an intermediate dungeon, the guardian is most certainly a Tier 6 monster. But with the necklace I can easily win against a Tier 6 monster as long as they don't use some weird magic. The necklace will protect you, and if worst comes to worst I can use my Berserker's mind skill. It will work, don't worry master. » Said Katarea reassuring Bora who looked quite reluctant.

« *Sigh* Okay, okay. Let's just hope we won't encounter some damn mage monsters. They are our nemesis. » Said Bora. Katarea nodded and excitedly left the room. Bora shook his head while chuckle and followed after her.

*************************

{Outskirt of Kyoto, An hour later.}

Bora and Katarea stood in front of a cavern that looked like it had freed itself from the ground. All the surroundings were plains but there was this cavern entrance sticking out of the ground. There was a sign in front of it.

[ Spider Intermediate Dungeon ]

[ Beware of the Guardian, the Giant Black Widow.

It hides in the ceilings of each room and attack after the rooms are cleared.]

« Well looks like we'll need to watch the ceiling closely. » Said Bora jockingly, trying to hide how panicked he was inside. He hated spiders, and yet he had to enter a dungeon full of spiders, he hoped that this quest would end quickly.

Without any warning, Katarea walked inside. Blinking, Bora suddenly understood what happened and ran after her, cursing her inside his mind, which greatly amused Yoru, who was still trying to give divine energy to Bora.

« Damn, this place is really dark. How the hell are we even gonna find that team if we can't find our own feets ? »Asked Bora. Katarea looked around for a torch or any source of light but found nothing.

« Well it looks like we'll to continue without any lighting for now. Master don't forget to look around for any torches. » Said Katarea in a low voice. Bora nodded and they both began to walk inside the dungeon, stopping every two minutes because of suspiscious noises. However after a few minutes they arrived in front of an iron door..

« The first room must be filled with shy spiders, hehe~ » Said Bora. He then opened the door without much thought. But as soon as the door opened, both he and Katarea froze.

* Hisssss*

« Oh hell no !!! » Yelled Bora while he hurriedly closed the door. He nearly had a heart attack when he saw the army of red eyes that shone in the shadows behind that door. Looking beside him, he saw that Katarea had chose to give him the daggers since he didn't have any weapon. It was in that moment, that Bora knew he should've bought some arrows.

« We've got no choice Master. We've got to fight blindly. I should be fine, but since you don't have any arrows, you need a way to protect yourself. » Said Katarea.

« Well seems like I'm gonna have to fight. The necklace won't be able to handle hundreds of ennemies at the same time. We need to stat close to each other and keep the spiders away. » Said Bora. Katarea nodded and then put her hand pn the door's handle. Bracing himself, Bora gripped the daggers with so much strengh his hands turned white. He nodded and she opened the door in an instant.

« Come here you damn eight-legs demons ! »

***********************

{ 4 hours later }

« * Huff ** Huff * Daaaamn ! I'm so tired I can't even move anymore ! Ah we really need to take a break. I can't move a single muscle. » Said Bora as he collapsed on the ground and laid against a stone pillar covered in cobweb. His body was littered with bite marks and scratches. He was covered in cobweb and his clothes clearly went trough a really bad time. Katarea who was busy putting loots in her void storage spoke with a tired voice.

« I agree with you Master. Even for me, it's quite difficult to fight against monster nonstop during four hours. » Said Katarea as she lied besides him.

« Well atleast the loots were good. It was worth getting bit by all those abominations. » Sais Bora.

« But really Master.....We should've used the potions. » Said Katarea, but Bora glared at her.

« Absolutely not ! The potions are in limited number, atleast for now. We keep them for Bosses and Guardians. » Said Bora. Katarea smiled bitterly but nodded nonetheless.

« Unfortunately it seems that this team really entered the Boss room. I'm surprised they actually avoided the guardian. This thing was really horrifying. » Said Katarea as both she and Bora shivered remembering the giant Black Widow that had dropped from the ceiling of the 5th room. The thing nearly devoured Katarea because they were so surprised.

« Maybe they just got lucky. I mean they are low tier hunters so it's a miracle they went this far. I don't even know why they entered this dungeon. » Said Bora as he relaxed and allowed himself to calmly lay on his back.

« Indeed, maybe it was just luck. Who knows. Though I think they entered this place because they were greedy, I mean you know how powerful greed is in human being don't you master ?....Master ? » Asked Katarea, confused as to why Bora was staring at nothing with a dazed look on his face. He then laughed like a madman which really scared Katarea and he gripped both her shoulders.

« It seems my legendary luck as decided to show itself once again ! » Said Bora.

« A-And why is that master ? » Asked Katarea.

« Kukuku~....Think about it Katarea. What could happen before we enter the boss room which would really help for the fight ? » Asked Bora. But Katarea just tilted her head, before she suddenly gasped.

« Oooooh ! »
