Save 2

Six years ago, inside a stage, a young man in a cold sweat was facing a hideous creature.

" I'm sorry, but I need the equivalent of a hundred S Rank cores "

Jun with dead eyes and an expressionless face went walking towards the paralyzed young man staring without knowing what to do.

" No ... no ... no"

The young man screamed and Jun passed by his side cutting his neck with his sword

" Full service..."

Jun said this by wiping the blade of the sword with a cloth removed from the pocket of his jeans.

" Now I just need you"

Jun spoke seeing two black wolves with red bands wrapped around their paws and bright black eyes

One of the wolves jumped towards Jun who let him bite one of his arms, after which he stuck the sword in his skull.

Running towards the other wolf, which was jumping and opening its huge mouth in the direction of Jun's head, which was sidestepped by the wolf, holding the upper part of his jaw, he threw him backwards causing the wolf to fall on its back. on the ground meanwhile Jun stuck the blade of the sword in the wolf's heart, killing him.

Jun kept the sword in its sheath and would immediately go to the meeting place at the beginning of the stage where Tremio and Natsumi were.

" Hey Jun, you came back ... wait what happened to your arm?"

Tremio spoke pulling the young man beside him who was a healer

" me and Pam were attacked by a group of black wolves, we managed to win but he ended up careless"

Tremio put his hand on his shoulder while the other player healed him

" Don't worry, this is what happens in the phases, I'm glad that at least you saved yourself"

Natsumi sitting on a rock stared at Jun, after Tremio left his expression changed to an expressionless expression with a dead look

" Hey Jun, have you been sleeping well?"

" Yes, I have slept without problems."

Natsumi got up and went over to where Tremio was.

" Be careful, there is something worse than the mobs near us."

Currently in front of a thirty-story building, Jun was behind a group of four other players.

(Did it have to be a building? It will take longer than I thought.)

Two of the players had gray hair and were of Rank E while two others had brown hair and the other black, this one was of Rank B. Jun was behind with the other two Rank E players who carried 2 large empty bags to catch the cores of the mobs.

Upon entering the stage they saw four stone creatures, their bodies were irregular with parts larger than each other and their eyes were two emeralds.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them."

The brown-haired Rank B player wearing black armor, who just didn't have his helmet, walked calmly towards the creatures that, due to their body structure, seemed extremely slow.

Ten meters from the creatures, a strong wave of wind circulated all over the place, cutting mobs in small pieces of stones in seconds.

" Come to the next, it will be your responsibility Yitr."

" Okay, okay. I hope their bodies are not too hard."

While they were talking Jun stood looking from behind everyone with his ax at his waist looking around.

(A B rank that can freely control the wind and another swordsman, as long as they don't get tired this will be an easy Raid ... I wanted to think like that, but the stage requirement makes me worried)

The group easily passed the floors of the building, except the floors where the color on the walls, ceilings and floors was orange and not a normal brown pattern.

Floor 29, penultimate floor

The young man who was wearing black armor walked soothingly among the stone-formed creatures, now with exposed red bones.

" Get crushed."

The young man smiled and tornadoes formed with the creatures in the center as he closed his hand, making it smaller and tearing apart the creatures' bodies.

The other Yitr player wearing a gray jacket and black jeans was holding his swords at the hems of his waist, behind him was a trace of seven of the creatures cut into three pieces.

" They scratched one of my swords, their cores will pay for the restoration of the blade."

He spoke with a somber face, behind the player Rank C was the same type of creature, going to punch the young man stretched his arm forward and when he received the blow on the palm and half of the creature's body exploded.

" Oh, the veterans are amazing."

" True Simp, we don't even need to do anything until now."

(These two remind me of the first phase I participated in, they were all amazing but I just ignored everything after I managed to take care of it myself)

Fifteen minutes passed and everyone was in front of the staircase leading to the top floor, but everyone was looking at the smallest person in the group, a young man wearing a hood and gray sweatpants with his hands in his blouse pocket, the three spoke then.

" What are we going to do with you?"

" Shadows are that dumb?"

" It's your turn now."

Jun looking at the young man in the hood by his side quickly moved away.

(Then again the chef came to us.)

The creature started to laugh, its skin started to turn purple, its limbs started to grow and on its face a mask started to form.

" So you have evolved since the last time, although you are mistaking me for a simple shadow so I have my doubts."

( last time? )

The creature let out a deafening cry, making the small stones thrown by the place tremble.

" Don't compare me to an inferior being."

The creature was in its original form, a skinny body with long legs and arms and a mask covering its face with only a black streak forming a mouth.

"Pay attention to everything around him he is a Xiava."

" What is this creature doing in a level D stage?"

" Show up."

Xiava spoke making several pairs of emeralds shine throughout the area, with more of these creatures with bodies formed of stones like the others with the differential that runes shining in purple were scattered throughout their body.

Closing the whole place, they prevented them from leaving, three of these creatures left the ground embracing the three rank E players without having time to react.

(I can't escape, a Rank E would never be able to do it with physical strength alone)

the two Rank B players created two waves of dust looking directly at Xiava and shouted.

" You're dead!"

Xiava smiled and all the dust came back forming all the stone creatures, in the meantime, Jun was standing letting the creature hold him saw that the dust surrounded the creatures with emerald eyes.

(Damn it, if I'm going to get a lot of attention now)

Jun stamped his foot on the ground, pushing the creature's arms hard enough to escape, quickly grabbing his ax he turned around hitting one of the emeralds in the creature's face, splitting it halfway down.

" The emeralds, hit them."

When Jun said this, strangely the creatures moved away and Jun felt a cold hand on his shoulder, beside him was Xiava.

" Interesting, come with me. "

Xiava and Jun disappeared and the other groups were surrounded by several of the creatures and could only hear what Jun had said except for one of them who was on top of one of the creatures.

They were both in an empty room, there was only dirt everywhere. Xiava was in front of Jun going to punch him.

Jun stopped the creature's punch by sinking his feet into the ground, Xiava quickly kicked Jun in the stomach, sending him away, snapping his fingers and Xiava made a stone spear come out of the ground and cross Jun's heart.

" Apparently you were just strong, what a disappointment ..."

[Perforation in the heart - Continuous damage = 100]

[Fatal damage]

When the creature finished speaking, the spear that had driven into Jun's heart scraped across his face.

" barely called me to the meeting and already stole my heart?"

" As?! "

Xiava scared, saw the wound he had done and even though he was standing, he froze when he noticed Jun in front of him sinking a punch in his face
