"Misa-san, I guess it's my turn to fight this time." Cassandra having her thoughts on Misa's terrifying feelings.
Knowing that her eyes are already covered due to the unexpected attack that the Dungeon boss made just recently. She heard only a voice and other noises throughout her surroundings.
/Heavy Breathing./
Cassandra kept calming herself after she lands a powerful spell that was able to deflect a huge boulder towards them.
She breathes deeply multiple times.
The moment she breathes deeply while concentrating, the activation of 'Eye of the Awakening' slowly increasing.
/Cassandra's left eye slowly changing./
The aura she emits is constantly changing, more powerful and terrifying than the first one she made.
Her weapon, which is a magic book was slowly glowing as her left eye started to change.
Not only that, but her appearance also changes. As she concentrates more especially during the battle.
Misa, with a slight fracture on her left arm and a right knee covering with blood. Couldn't believe the transformation she saw from Cassandra's 'Double Awakening Wielder'.
Knowing that her current condition couldn't be caught up from Cassandra's pace anymore, she left nothing but amazed, thinking that she might end up continuing the quest they accepted all by herself.
She lies down at the back of her stead, cheering her up while battling as the result.
Not a single amount of jealousy nor envy she felt after the transformation made by Cassandra just recently. But rather hope and gratitude for her to exist amidst the time of crisis.
"Please... Defeat them all...." A soft tearing voice made by Misa to her only hope.
"Yeah... let me take this one for you." Cassandra simply replied to her request.
As soon as their words promising to each other, Cassandra started to step up against the force of her enemies.
All by herself, without a single trace of frustrations that made her terrified. She stands tall to fight not just on completing the objective but to survive at the moment.
"Fight me, Bastards!" A loud taunt made by Cassandra that heard clearly to the dungeon boss.
But then,
The dungeon boss simply responding it.
By throwing another set of boulders, the same large as the one it throws up recently towards the fearless Cassandra Smith.
"Raaaaaaaawwwww"
The dungeon boss forcefully throwing multiple boulders against her.
Cassandra is already prepared for anything. She began opening her book and cast her magic spells as quickly as possible.
/Pages flipped./
/Book constantly glowing./
! Elemental Magic!
"Wind Wall"
/A strong gust bursting forth in front of Cassandra./
"You can take that back, don't you?" A simple taunt was made by her once again.
By casting it on time, the boulders started to fly back against the Dungeon boss. Causing it to broke instantly by destroying it with its stone ax.
Knowing that the dungeon boss began attacking Cassandra directly towards her.
With a tremendous speed that couldn't be managed to catch up with only an ordinary eye.
Misa started to tremble and her spirit starting to broke out, as she couldn't see any movements made by the enemy just recently.
She also started to worry about Cassandra's situation.
Knowing that the dungeon boss was aiming at her this time.
However;
As what Misa's eyes couldn't able to catch up the pace anymore.
Cassandra on the other saw it on her 'Eye of the Awakening' every single movement the dungeon boss made against her.
Not only that, she mocked the efforts made by the enemy on her mind, couldn't spit out for some reason.
"He's slow, I can actually evade it."
She evades its powerful sets of blows multiple times in a couple of minutes.
Since she already cast a magic buffable to maximize her senses, the time Dungeon boss started to attacked aggressively. Thinking that protecting also herself and didn't let her guard down will be a greater advantage against the strong, terrifying enemy.
The Dungeon boss started to act crazy as none of its attacks didn't land on Cassandra's body. It howls a lot and began throwing another set of boulders desperately.
Cassandra noticed it already, having a slight glance of worries towards Misa who carefully watches the fight against the enemy.
From her attacking phase, turning into the defensive. As she cast another set of magic walls trying to block its path against the approaching boulders.
She cast it with a set of walls made of mud.
*Bang* *Bang* *Kabang*
/A loud noise started to land its impact to the summoned walls made by her./
During the impact, a sudden unwanted noise inside her walls started to exist after a simultaneous throwing attack made by the dungeon boss.
It was small cracks of her walls, slowly getting bigger as the intervals of boulder impact started rising.
*Creak*
In a critical condition.
Cassandra already aggravates their situation. She couldn't hold herself anymore and trying to push her limits to their peaked that wanted to end the fight as soon as possible.
As she already noticed her awakening aura slowly degenerating that made her movements slowing down. Making her felt nervous about her condition against the dungeon boss for the next few attempts of attacking.
Knowing that the spell she cast is the one who only made it for the first time in her life, She couldn't believe the cost of the magic mana she cast is staggering and time-wasting.
Not only that, her concentration on activating the 'Eye of the Awakening' began affected her pace, resulting in lost composure and worn-out moments later.
Misa quickly peeked, as she saw their defense got dispersed in no time, felt the same way as what Cassandra felt for it.
Eventually, they're all unguarded and wide open.
The Dungeon boss, on the other hand, noticed the defense made by Cassandra Smith had gone weaker as time passes by.
The boss saw an opportunity on it, ordering its underlings to attacked randomly towards their enemies' position.
"Sckreeeashh... Sckkeeeeeek" (Disclaimer: To all readers, pretend that you read it °<°)
A simple word of command was made by their commander. The orc underlings had started to make their move once again. This time, it was an all-out attack they made like the last resort for the ones who knew the battle is in their favor.
Arrows, Fireballs, rocks, even wooden spears are flying randomly in a unison direction.
The walls of mud that Cassandra cast was slowly crumbling, and disappearing.
"No... no.... no! not yet... please don't" She desperately begging to her spell who thought of betraying her in a time of need.
On the other, Orc fighters that carrying only rusty weapons preferably stone axes started to charge directly against the two poor Adventurers.
"Are we gonna die on this?... Cassandra-chan?" Misa asked with anxiety.
Knowing that death is fast approaching them, she couldn't hold herself but cover her eyes and body trying not to meet death in an unfortunate way. Cassandra felt the same way. As the 'Eye of the Awakening' has already run out with its power, Already accepted the fate of their lives and surrender their life to death that nearly met up in no time.
"I guess we underestimated the dungeon ranks at all."
At that moment, they already accepted their fate at first.
Not until a sudden unexpected person came to take their action.
...
~Warning: Approaching enemies nearby.
A system notification started to pop up inside Levi's head.
Though, he was expecting it. Knowing the fact that he was already raiding the dungeon nest like invading for one objective.
Instead of having a terrifying feeling of dealing with the magical creatures in his current condition, he is seemingly grateful and ecstatic for it. Knowing that he finally understands the power he possessed for a long time since the day the fight against the Unknown Being.
As the result, he wanted to test it for himself as if he wanted to find a sparring partner to see the fruits of achieving an immense amount of power he wielded for the rest of his life.
However;
"Dammit... I got nerfed?" A slum, gloomy face of regret was made by Levi Furiman after he noticed a piece of perplexing information inside the message on his head that made him felt frustrated and muttered.
Among all of his thoughts and problems that continually complaining about his own pathetic life. The most and recent problem that made him depressed for at least a whole week since today has finally come.
As he saw his status notification, completely empty and nothing to seen anything on its 'Inventory'.
Even though he saw only 2 weapons, very familiar to the last time he used them not so long ago. They still didn't manage to be summoned, nor activating it knowing that their status is also locked and being forbid to open. Also, not just as what he made depressed for it;
"THERE'S NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO OPENED IT? .... FCKING DAMMIT!!!"
A loud pouting gesture made by Levi, having his anger towards his newly acquired (mostly useless from now) Awakening power.
As the result, only a short cunning knife (Something like a Russian military knife) far smaller than a regular-sized dagger was the only kind of weapon that he used since he stepped in into this world.
Not included in the first two weapons he used against the Unknown being not too long ago.
As he kept murmuring himself while running towards the path of where Cassandra and Misa were located, also warning of approaching enemies started to come out anytime soon.
A sudden loud, eerie noise made from a near distance towards his path of running.
"I'm ready, bring it on!" A proud, boastful taunt made by him against the enemies.
*Scrkeich* *Schrismek*
The Orc creatures started to have contact with Levi, by launching a tremendous amount of arrows and stones flying randomly against him.
With the power of his 'Supreme eye of the Awakener', he completely predicting it within its first 3 seconds since they're attacking.
Aside from that, his eyes are hastily enough to move accordingly and unnoticed, knowing the fact that his actual consciousness couldn't able to catch up to his eyes any longer like making it moving on its own.
/Levi's eyes moving randomly and synchronizing./
Also, Levi's concentration began sharper.
/Levi's breathing slowly got deeper./
By doing that, he evading it with ease and hassle-free.
He quickly grabbed his knife as his weapon the moment he gets near it and began launching a swift attack against the orc enemies.
*Schiieekk*
Orc monsters constantly screeching in agony, trying to run away from the might of Levi Furiman after having their regrets of dealing with him as the result.
But then, it was too late for them to run.
As they saw the death is coming on their way.
In just a matter of seconds, he instantly took down at least 20 orc monsters that trying to anticipate his path.
He continued running as soon as he finished him up with their dead bodies.
~Fatigue: 19% / 100%
Levi noticed the huge difference in his body after he received a lot of advice and guidance made by the Unknown being that made him applied immediately.
Like the first one, he noticed was his breathing pattern while his Right Supreme Eye of the Awakener being activated. Knowing that releasing it will be a burden for him to breathe and thinking properly.
By doing so, he practicing it at the time of an actual battle. Fortunately, he didn't expect to perform it perfectly.
After a minute of running in the darkest route of the dungeon, another message of system notification popped upon his head.
~Warning: Approaching enemies nearby.
Levi gladly accepting it, he went straight through to where the system message started to ring.
As he kept running towards the end, he noticed a sudden grim of light slowly rising the path where the dark place he went in.
However;
Levi also noticed a set of Awakening auras slowly dying like a candle and on a brink of its death. And a vicious, wicked aura made by a certain creature that is seemingly strong on his perspective.
Even though he didn't say the exact details of the situation they held, all that he knows was their auras glowing around on his Right Supreme Eye of the Awakener.
To be exact;
He saw a brownish-white colored Aura being slowly eaten by a black-colored wicked aura on the right side of his eye.
Out of his curiosity;
He went faster than the usual way of running he made the whole time. Thinking the fact that he might not be late for protecting the dying aura he felt against the terrifying magic creature.
And then;
After he reached the end of the route, He saw Cassandra and Misa getting beaten to a pulp against the huge Orc who standing right in front of them, carefully watching them hurt and sorrowful.
At that time, Levi finally saw it. started to burst his anger towards the magic creature and began taking his move on deflecting the huge stone ax, whose about to land on those two Adventurers' bodies.
*Bang*
/A sudden loud noise cracking up the entire surroundings./
