Zeul City: City Of Mavens

The teachers can easily clear it, but the requirements to enter the dungeon is that only students are allowed to enter.

Me, Alice, Azure, Heist, Arthur, Dorothy, Romeo, Juliet, and Fifth are going to clear it.

Romeo and Juliet are both Heist"s teammates. Romeo is a bow maven while Juliet is a magic maven.

Dorothy is a magic maven and Fifth, like his brother Fourth, is a Sword Maven. Both of them are Azure"s teammates.

A month in the dungeon is only a day outside, it is also a great opportunity to raise their experience.

"Why is he here?" Fifth asked when he arrived in our meeting point.

"Well, he"s the one who wants to clear that dungeon. We"re just tagging along." Azure replied.

"I"m sure he"ll just drag us down." Fifth hissed silently.

"Let"s go." I called, Fifth is the last one to arrive so we just waited for him. Now that we"re complete, then why waste our time?

We directly proceeded to the fifty-first floor. This floor is half cleared, but no one has reached the boss room yet. This floor is the Graveyard Resurrectu, a floor for the undead. Most monsters in here are Normal Ranked, which is perfect for the cla.s.s B Mavens.

We cleared the Fifty-First Fast. Azure took the frontline while I"m in the rear for their support and seer.

"Playing safe in the rear, such a coward and he dared to be in this dungeon? I don"t know why father likes him." Fifth whispered to himself. I don"t know if I"ll be glad that I enhanced my senses or not, sometimes this comes handy and sometimes it"s annoying.

We managed to clear up until the seventy-fifth floor. The seventy-fifth floor is of magical rank, cla.s.s A mavens are the only one who can match these monsters up.

Alice and Arthur are already Cla.s.s B mavens at the fifth stage. Romeo and Juliet are both at the third stage of Cla.s.s B. Dorothy, just like Alice and Arthur, is at the fifth stage of Cla.s.s B and Fifth is at the first stage of Cla.s.s A. Heist is already on the third stage of Cla.s.s A while Azure remained at the fifth stage of Cla.s.s A. Killing monsters is an alternative for defeating Strangers but you need to kill more monsters than the quant.i.ty of the Strangers you need to defeat. The stronger the monsters the better.

The seventy-fifth floor is the Lake Uzrang, a lake inhabited by the Lady of The Lake. The Lady of the Lake is known to be the one who blessed Merlin, the strongest Magic Maven ever existed. In order to pa.s.s the seventy-fifth floor, we must first pa.s.s the Lady of the Lake"s trial.

"Who dares to disturb the Lady"s slumber?!" A deep voice echoed.

"That might be the boss. Prepare yourselves." Azure commanded. I chanted my buff for the party.

"Blessings of the undine that ran through my veins. Bless thy people with the water"s wealth, and bless them with thy power. Undine"s Blessing." I chanted my buff, Undine"s Blessing. It is a blessing that strengthens the party if there"s a great source of water energy, and this lake has a bountiful of water energy.

"Thank you Azrael." Azure said. I nodded. Then, they went to their position.

Azure is in the front line together with Fifth. Behind them are Arthur and Alice. After them is Romeo. Then at the rear are Juliet, Dorothy, and me.

A figure came out of the lake, a knight.

"My name is Lancelot, anyone who dares to disturb the lady will have to pay a price." The knight, who introduced himself as Lancelot, said.

"We are here in search for the Legendary Crusader, Excalibur. We mean no harm." Is what I said but harm is something we cannot avoid.

"Excuses. Those who disturbs the lady, disturbs the lady. No matter what your excuses are, I will not let it through. " he hissed, as I have said, harm is something we cannot avoid.

Lancelot took out his sword, he looked like an element-dependent Sword Maven.

Sword-Maven are cla.s.sified to different cla.s.sifications. Those who uses sword energy, the Energy-Dependent Sword Maven. Those who are relying solely on their swords, the Sword-Dependent Sword Maven. Those who uses their rage to strengthen themselves, the Rage-Dependent Sword Maven. And those who are using the elements, the Element-Dependent Sword-Maven.

Alice is an Energy-Dependent Sword Maven. Though she used a fire based sword skill, it wasn"t one of the elemental sword skills. What she used utilizes the heat energy around her. Energy-Dependent Sword Maven are advantageous for they can utilize different elemental energy, depending on the energy lurking around you, unlike the Element-Dependent Sword Maven who can only use one element for their lifetime. Arthur, on the other hand, is a Sword-Dependent Sword Maven.

Everyone got in there fighting stance.

"Sword Skill: Water Sword Haven"  Lancelot activated his skill. He surely knows a good sword skill.

"Everyone duck." I shouted, everyone ducked except for Fifth, seeing that he"s the only one standing, he quickly ducked.

"Seal of the wind. Seal of the fire. Seal of width. Seal of protection. Seal of Quant.i.ty. Seal of Size. " I chanted, six wide magic circles appeared on the ground we are standing.

"Six Magic Circles." Dorothy said in awe.

"Fire Wall Protection ." I finally called my spell. Fire walls, entirely different than the one I used in the test arose. They formed a barrier that covers us.

"Expand!" I shouted, the barrier expands, dispersing all the water swords that surrounds us. That moment, they got up and formed back their fighting stances.

"Sword Magic Skill: Unicorn Stampede." Unicorn Stampede is a skill for tome maven that specializes sword as their primary weapon. It is considered as a seven tier magic. It is a skill that summons a lot of unicorns that have sharp blades as their horn.

"Well well, that tickled me." It was smokey after the attack, but behind the smoke is someone"s silhouette, and it should be Lancelot. He didn"t even moved an inch from where he was earlier.

"How could it be?" Azure asked.

"You can"t touch me here, in the Lady"s domain." Lancelot said.

"Then how could we fight him?" Alice asked.

"If Azure couldn"t even scratch him, then how would be his opponent?" Arthur asked.

"Azure." I called his attention, what Lancelot said got me something in mind.

"Sword Skill: Great Water Sword Slash." Before even I could say my plan, Lancelot attacked.

"Phoenix Guarding the South, with your flames of power, I hereby asked for your presence, Icarus!" I called. My necklace glowed and fire came burning.

"You called, Guardian?" Icarus asked.

"Please give us some time. Do something about him for a minute or two." I asked pointing Lancelot.

"Very well." Icarus said then faced Lancelot.

"Azure, summon Daedalus." I said, he nodded.

"Phoenix Guarding the North, with your flames of protection, I ask for your presence. Daedalus!" Azure chanted, his necklace glowed and flames came burning.

"You called, Guardian?" Daedalus asked.

"Daedalus, Azure, can you two merge and fire your strongest attack?" I asked. Even though Daedalus is the Phoenix of Protection, I"m sure that after merging with Azure, he can have a really strong attack.

"Sure, but how? Lancelot said we can"t touch him in this domain." He asked.

"Just attack after I say so. I will make an opening for you." He nodded.

"I am Azure, a tome maven. Guardian of the Phoenix of Protection." Azure said, he then glowed.

"I am Daedalus, the Phoenix of Protection. Guardian of Azure." Daedalus said, he then glowed as well.

"Sacred Body Merging!" They shouted in unison. Both of them glowed and shone so bright. After merging, Azure looked different.

He still have the same face, but his hair grew longer, about as long as mine, and his hair color is a combination of red and red orange. It looked uniform to the color of his robe.

"Now you guys, can you hold Lancelot for a while?" I asked, turning at the remaining members of the party. They nodded, then charged towards Lancelot.

"Icarus, let"s merge." I called.

"I am Azrael, a tome maven. Guardian of the Phoenix of Power." I said.

"I am Icarus, the Phoenix of Power. Guardian of Azrael." Icarus said.

"Sacred Body Merging." We both said in unison. Flames ate me, but it doesn"t feel hot. Just like before, it felt warm.

After that, I noticed my appearance change. My hair remained its length but it"s color changed from silk black to a combination of yellow and yellow orange. My uniform, which is black robe disappeared. It transformed into a suit paired with a cloak. The suit is a Yellow and Gold suit, while the cloak looked exactly like Icarus" Flame.

"We"re done merging Guardian." Icarus said, so we can talk through telepathy.

"Why is my appearance different than of Azure"s?" I asked.

"That is because I am a Phoenix of Power. Moving with a robe will be difficult so attacking will be hindered. While Dad is a Phoenix of Protection, it"s robe has a pa.s.sive ability to protect its owner. Don"t worry, this cloak will serve as a pa.s.sive protection as well, but unlike dad"s, it is not as strong." He explained, I nodded.

"So can I attack using my own skills?" I asked.

"Of course. You can attack using either your skills or mine." He answered.

"Very well then, let"s do this." I said then ran behind Alice and the rest which are barely holding of Lancelot"s attack, they have merged to their Magical or Sacred Guardians.

"Spatial Energy, come forth to me. Lend me your power and help me became your temporary owner. With your ability and mine combined, I call forth, Spatial Mind!" I chanted, Spatial Mind is a 9 tier spatial defense-enhancement skill. It summons a different dimension that cancels the enemy"s buffs and buffs my allies.

"Alice, all of you run behind Azure. Azure now." I shouted. Alive and the rest ran fast. Azure then flew. His robe transformed into burning wings.

"Scared Sword Skill: Burning Pegasus Stampede Dive." I calculated that the attack he called is also a 9 tier attack skill. He summoned a lot of Unicorn but the thing is, it has phoenix wings, and their sharp horns are burning. They all dived together, there are about fifty of them. That caught Lancelot off guard.

After that attack, we found Lancelot lying on the ground.
