CALU!

"I'll take care of the old man he seems to be their leader. You all focus on the rest." I yell, charging at the man. His fist so fast I barely dodge it.

An enormous boulder behind me is obliterated from the wind he generated. His moves being extremely refined compared to the other beings. Grabbing both my arms and legs, unable to move. He punches my sides repeatedly, coughing up blood, I try to find something I can do.

I pull my arm so hard that it rips off, healing it slowly. I'm able to grab my sword, and with all my strength, I slice through two of his arms.

Throwing me across the ground, I drop my sword as he screams in agony grabbing onto his wound.

"You dare sever my perfect body. I'll ruin yours to the point of no return!" Charging at me, I try to evade his attack.

(Let me help a little.) Serephena says as large white wings sprout from my back, letting me fly up. Picking up a Boulder and throwing it at me the Tainthand gets enraged.

"Your petty tricks won't work on me." He says, jumping up, grabbing my throat, and slamming me into the ground. 

"Clutch!" Piro yells the Chieftains muscles aching, making him tremble. Julian hastily runs towards him, cutting his throat finishing off the cheiftan.

The portal appearing behind his corpse, the dungeon seamlessly being completed. We leave being greeted by a fellow guild member telling us the guild master would like to see us.

Heading into the guild master's room, he notifies the group that they've found evidence of Asgold and Oliver entering an abnormal S-rank dungeon in Taiwan where the dungeons been open for a month straight and nobody has left thus far.

"An S-rank dungeon that's way too much for us," Julian states

"Indeed, it's a lot, even for you four. However, there's a small group entering the dungeon tomorrow, and a highly ranked hunter I assigned to accompany you specifically. This may be the we get to them, so we must seize the opportunity." Willace says, dismissing us as we take a flight to Taiwan.

There we stay at a local hotel eating their some Ae-gei a delicious fish dish. 

It now being night time, we were told to meet the hunter at the gate in the morning. Once we arrive, I see a woman with fox like ears and large scaley wings.

"Calu, is that you? I never thought we'd meet again." Julian excitingly exclaims while telling Calu how she helped Julian in the past. 

Calu is happy to meet Julian again but explains the dangers their heading into no one's escaped this dungeon and that not a single monster has left it, so we'd likely take some heavy hits while inside, or worse. We all walk into the dungeon, a blistering cold wind. Rushes towards us as we're on a stoney mountain side.

Seeing a large dragon fly above it spots us and lands next to me and Calu. We take out our weapons prepared to kill it, yet it talks to Calu in an unknown language to us. 

The dragon then flies off, and Calu explains to us they eat people who enter the dungeon. However, Calu would be sparred as she's a mixed race.

The land we are on is apparently ruled by the dragon king Dragtar, a ruthless king that has recently allowed Oliver and Asgold to reside there Calu explained. We set up in a nearby cave to escape the cold.

"Great, so we have to deal with two high-ranking hunters and the dungeon boss, which is a king of all things." I say aloud.

We get our barrings settled. Calu and I fly into the sky, scouting nearby areas. I spot a town of dragon kin same as Calu. Flying back all I see is snowy and rocky mountains with a few dragons.

Back at camp, I wait for Calu's return. She glides back down towards us, looking worried.

"They don't call him the dragon king for nothing. There are so many species of dragons here: Wyverns, Dragon kin, Drakes, Wyrm's and oriental dragons. Once we are found, we'll be a small meal for them." She proclaims, worryingly.

Staying the night in the cave, we see a giant lizard trying to enter Calu pummels into unconsciousness while Julian and I cut it up. Using fire breath, Calu cooks the meat up for supper, avoiding eating the Wyrm's meat herself before we head to bed. The following morning, we all set out some in pairs to look for more information on the dungeon.

A giant dragon flying around without wings spot Frank and me and swoops down trying to bite us. Trying to cut it, my sword bounces off of its scales. Flinging its tail towards Frank, the tail sending him back a few feet.

I cast some ice spells toward the beast. However, they all shatter upon impact. "I guess it's time to text this out. Wind rage!" Large blades of compacted wind fly toward the dragon, cutting him.

Turning towards me, the dragon says something I cannot understand as clouds form behind him. A burst of lightning falls around me, Frank being a rod for the bolts of electricity. I shield Frank, using mana as he falls unconscious.

Wings sprouting from my back, I fly up to the dragon, which eats me whole. I stab my sword upward while being swallowed, the dragon vomiting me alongside a ton of blood, choking to death.

Putting Frank on my back, walking to the cave, I spot a skeletal dragon with a human on its back. Arriving back at the cave, Calu is gnawing on her tail, I tell the others I may have spotted Asgold and Oliver may be nearby. We rest for the night the following day, heading out to where I saw the skeletal dragon, seeing dragons fighting and eating each other in the sky Asgold's area filled with skeletons of all kinds working like slaves.

We don't see Oliver, but figure Asgold would know his whereabouts. Now heading over to Asgold.
