Rise of the Adventurer Series: Sea Dragon Nest Quest

Volume - 1 // Chapter - 10

In the end, Misa agreed to the plan that Cassandra made by explaining to her properly and fluently.

But then, knowing that the dangers of commencing the quest are fast approaching with just only 3 of them. They take some courage for it to take in.

Also, because only 'Double Awakening' Adventurers are the ones granting the power to accept those kinds of quests.

They left nothing but to accept it.

As the result, Cassandra, who was called 'One of the 10 Double Awakeners in Willow Village', cautiously accepting it.

They left the Adventurers Building like their celebrity. All eyes of the people and other Adventurers are focusing only on them.

Even the ones having their grudges against them do the same.

Also,

Most of the people and Adventurers noticed a certain person that made their eyes wicked and furious against it.

"Wait... don't tell me, that's?"

"The Village thief, why is he coming along with them?"

"That vulgar peasant... How dare he went along with them?"

"Maybe they bought him to made him their Slave..."

"Hahahahahaha!!"

All eyes, including their mouths, kept murmuring against the poor, embarrassed Levi Furiman. They made fun of and insult him until he went outside the building.

Levi on the other hand, who carrying the Adventurer's luggage the whole time, didn't want to involve some unnecessary fight anymore had nothing to do but ignoring it.

He seems pale and trembles, knowing that the past he desperately made had started to take back for what he did before.

Suddenly,

Cassandra and Misa already noticed it.

They tried to protect Levi by guarding him also on the outside and fighting back verbally against those Judgemental mouths made by the people.

They successfully defend him.

Those people who insulting him started to walk away.

Levi seemed embarrassed, began thanking them, and started to blushed his face to the two young ladies that made him special to cherish.

They responded with a teasing gesture.

Exactly 11 a.m., when the three adventurers left in the central Willow village.

They went to the eastern part of the village's territory where the quest mission was located.

Unfortunately, some unwanted people secretly tailing the path unnoticed that the three Adventurers made.

...

Pastor Ozril, who was cleaning the church praying altar this afternoon. Suddenly went puzzling his head about the mysterious Awakening powers possessed by Levi Furiman.

He unconsciously stopped cleaning, went straight back to his room, and checking the 'Book' a few more this morning.

It was his 4th time nodding it for the past 30 minutes of seeking the answer.

But then; even though he keeps coming back and forth into his room and studying it carefully, he still couldn't find a straight and concrete answer for his wandering mind.

As the book and only book that existed in the entire village was already worn out and almost half of its pages are burned and mostly cut out.

The children and other church people noticed the restless feeling made by Pastor Ozril.

3 Children arrived.

5 Church people also do the same.

They asked about it, out of their curiosity.

But even them couldn't fill out the puzzling mind of the Pastor. They also even made themselves wondering to their heads instead.

As the Pastor asking for it an impossible answer to the minds of the church people.

"What? That kid has the 'Eye of the Awakening?" One church people surprised.

"That's impossible! a foreign person like him has that kind of power? are you sure about that, Pastor Ozril?" Another Church people added.

The children started spouting nonsense to Pastor Ozril.

"Hahaha... My, my... relax... It was just my own opinion, don't be surprised by it!" The Pastor suddenly laughs at their reactions.

However, even Pastor Ozril couldn't justify the answer he made by himself.

All he was saying was just speculation.

Knowing that those people who went out concerning his uneasy feeling, he left himself to sprout it out.

As the church people still murmuring themselves inside;

*Knock* *knock*

A sudden loud noise knocking up the front door, calling out a specific person that was seemingly important from the unknown guest's attention.

Church people and children began startled, asking to get inside as soon as possible.

Pastor Ozril was left alone to attend the unknown guest into their place.

As soon as they slowly approached;

He was shocked and relieved as he saw a familiar face visiting the place that was seemingly isolated surprisingly.

It was Misho, an Adventurer from the Main town.

Along with 2 companions, they gradually greeted the Pastor the moment they saw each other.

Pastor Ozril did the same thing. He graciously invited them inside and serving some tea and bread as he treated them like a special guests.

"Like what I introduced to you the last time we met before. My name is Misho Santa, an AA-Rank Adventurer and wielder of a double Awakening with the possessor of Knightsmen Race. Please to meet you again, Pastor Ozril." Misho partially introduced himself to the man in charge of the church.

To avoid certain conflicts of personal information regarding the profiles of their members according to the law of Adventurers' Organization.

But then, Pastor Ozril completely understand it, even if they spoke for it. He doesn't mind it after all as the result.

Misho also introduced the other two, partially.

"This one on my right is Clarisa Sensya, a B-rank Adventurer and wielder of a double Awakening with the possessor of Entity race," Misho added.

"Nice meeting you..." Clarisa pleasing herself with a soft, mellow voice.

"The other left of mine is---" Misho being interrupted for no reason.

"My name is Clarence Bullock, 18-years old! I'm an A-rank Adventurer and a wielder of double Awakening with the possessor of Demi-being race! ... Please to meet you!!!" Clarence introducing himself with enthusiasm and energy.

Pastor Ozril suddenly shocked, unconsciously covered his ears for a reason.

The church people and children inside the building heard his voice, completely covering their ears as well.

Misho and Clarisa already knew it, quickly confronted Clarence by smashing mildly his head as his punishment.

They also apologize for his unwanted action on behalf of his unpleasant attitude.

Pastor Ozril gladly accepting their apology, knowing that it was a normal thing for him to hear those kinds of voices every single day living in the church.

After a few minutes of introducing themselves.

Misho, along with Clarisa and Clarence's faces suddenly changed from lavish, amiable to serious, forceful feelings as the atmosphere they held in is intense and hard to breathe.

Because of it, Misho, the one who started all, begin to asked Pastor Ozril about the things regarding the place he secretly knew for the past few days.

Also, the main reason why the three Town Adventurers having their time attending on him.

"What's the result of your Investigation, Mr. Misho?" Pastor Ozril curiously asked.

Misho started explaining to him.

"At first, we saw a lot of blood outside the dungeon. countless stones and branches of trees had covered with human blood. It takes us time and courage to enter, thinking it might have another set of magic creatures remain inside the dungeon. At the time we reach the expected number of counts according to the rules and regulations made by the Adventurers Organization, we gradually accepted it as a count of reinforcements and allowing us to enter inside well-prepared and fully handed.

We also checked the quest paper that pointing to that dungeon's location. And according to the receptionist on-duty at that time, this quest (the paper that misho hold) was stolen and already completed 12 hours after it went missing. They left ignoring it at first, knowing that the quest he/she stolen was a mere 'E'-rank Quest, it also said that 'Killing only the Goblin Leader and cut their ears as a prove of succession to complete this quest'. For us Town Adventurers, it was a no-brainer quest to complete in no time. Of course, nobody would take that kind of small fry quest especially in this kind of place he/she went in with all due respect.

But that was not the case after it got stolen.

More surprisingly part of this quest is that The Dungeon quest had turned into a Dungeon Break! according to the people living around that dungeon! It was a small, dark entrance gate similar to the main door of a house, that made them able to deal with it without calling the Adventurers for help. But suddenly, it made bigger and wider a few hours after it exists, that causing them to terrified and made their minds evacuate and leaving their place as much as they can.

And so, after the incident and hearing out their witness and experience, we thought it was a mere goblin according to what they stated, so small as the size of our knees if you are aware of that. But the moment we entered the entirety of the dungeon, It was a huge goblin similar to a size of a regular human being, also there is as strong as a regular Adventurer. Luckily for us, we came inside the dungeon with every single one of them already lying down and breathless.

We also checked the bodies of those corpses, they were 2 kinds of weapons used against them. One is a sharp blade that causing the goblins to shred into pieces, the other one was a huge cannon-like weapon that made the body of goblins blew out and didn't recognize their parts at all. All dead goblins we saw in the entire dungeon were the same result from the first one we entered. Until we reached the depths of the dungeon where we saw a huge blue-like Goblin symbolizes its leadership, already shredded into pieces and its head already blown out and we couldn't found where it is.

That's all we saw during those short period investigating on this remote village."

Misho concluded his explanation to Pastor Ozril.

Pastor Ozril on the other hand, was completely speechless for the brief report made by Misho just for him.

He sips some tea due to his uneasy feelings about it.

A few minutes of silence inside the room;

Pastor Ozril then asked again about the situations of the people residing near the dungeon.

Misho answered it to relieved his concerns.

Soon, after he finishes his questions to the town Adventurer, Misho on the other hand, started to asked Pastor Ozril, began seriously once again, and started to felt chills on his body.

Not knowing that the investigation he shared on him was just the first part, that made Pastor Ozril already trembles and frightened for everything he said.

"Let's begin..." Misho speaking to Pastor Ozril with a grim smile on his face.

Pastor Ozril left nothing but to gulped his throat at the moment.

...

Cassandra Smith, along with Misa Togo and Levi Furiman, finally arrived at the place where the Dungeon quest was located, after an hour of travel by using a magic transportation spell that Cassandra cast.

They went flying for at least tens of meters above for instance.

A magic spell that the Double awakeners featured.

For them, that kind of spell is the most convenient tool for transporting anywhere they like.

It can also be admitted for only 2 or more persons / Adventurers depending on how strong the caster using it.

Especially for Cassandra, because she's already an A-rank Adventurer, it was a basic spell for her to master.

However;

.

[Earlier]

"Just hold tight, Levi-kun!... Or you might fall! " Misa having her care to Levi while grabbing his wrist for the whole time.

"Aahhhaaahhaaahh!!!" Levi already freaked out and started to feel pain.

Levi once looking at the ground.

He finally realized what he's standing in and the lies of what dangers were approaching.

As he saw he's already at the top of the trees, few meters away from it.

Levi is afraid of heights.

Levi also doesn't have mana or any sort of magic spells.

"Crap ... Looks like I'm gonna die on this!! " Levi already having his last resort.

"Aahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaahhh!! " Levi shouted for the first 5 whole minutes since they leaped.

Cassandra cannot focused on flying at all.

"You two!! Shut up!! " She began scolding at them due to their uneasiness feeling at each other.

"If I knew this useless thing doesn't have mana to gain... we might be arriving in that place where we went in! earlier than we imagined!... Unbelievable!" She added.

.

In some conditions;

Only People / Adventurers that generating mana are the ones able to ride the transportation magic spells.

Which, Levi Furiman is not included at all.
