Finding Dawn Arc - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Fight or Massacre?

After they have entered the dungeon, the girls all changed as no matter who they were, they all turned serious.

This was why Sam let them have their fun or do the things they want because he knows that they can be serious when needed to be.

"Everyone, get into your position now."

Leona immediate took lead as she then gave commands to her team. She was appointed as the leader because she is capable of leading them and she is responsible enough.

The girls did not make any sound as they just followed what she said. The skills they can use at the moment with [Zodiac Empowerment] are only two.

Either an elemental manipulation and enhanced body functions or others.

The skills Leona currently has is [Feline Physiology] and [Fire Manipulation].

[Feline Physiology] allows her to use the abilities of a feline, she can also mimic them or transform herself into a feline. She can also use [Claw Retraction] which generates three sharp claw that comes out in the knuckles in each of her hands.

[Fire Manipulation] allows her to create, shape, and manipulate fire. Although she does not have great control over it, for now, she can still use it to attack with fire arrows, fire pillars, fire spears, and fireball.

"Lead, I sense multiple presence heading towards us."

Jenny said while she has her eyes closed. It is one of her skills, which is [Spiritual Meditation] which allows her to be one with nature. Which is why she was able to sense the disturbance in the air around her in a certain radius.

"Yeah, it's a bunch of Red Bulls. I can also see tracks of High Orcs, which is likely to be the reason why there are Red Bulls inside an A-rank Dungeon."

Olivia also said. She was not being poetic at the moment as they have agreed that she has to stop doing that during raids as it was really distracting. She used her skill, [Enhanced Tracking] which enabled her to identify the monsters with just the tracks, and [Enhanced Vision] which allowed her to see from a far distance.

"Okay. Don't waste your mana killing the Red Bulls, eliminate them using your weapons."

Leona said, claws then appeared on her hands as she pounced at the nearest Red Bull in front of her.

Serena summoned her shield, as she then charges towards three Red Bulls.

Bang!

The three Red Bulls were forced back by her, she smiled as she saw that the three were now angry at her.

"Come on."

She calmly said. With her[Enhanced Stamina] and [Earth Manipulation], she's not one bit afraid of the three Red Bulls in front of her.

Zelda also charges forward with a shield on her hand. She has [Earth Manipulation] just like Serena and her other skill is [Water Manipulation] so she had conjured a bunch of water balls to which she threw at the Red Bulls.

*splash *splash

Vivian was dancing amidst the Red Bulls charging towards her. With her [Enhanced Strength] and [Fire Manipulation], she sent kicks that are on fire towards the Red Bulls.

Faye can already be seen in the air, with several Fayes beside her. She conjured air disk as well as the other Fayes and fired it towards the other Red Bulls.

*boom *Kaboom

Eunice used her spear to pierce the Red Bulls heading towards her. She smoothly transition to other Red Bulls executing it within one to two moves.

*swish *spurt

Ruth, Kathryn, and Ina were both inside the circle protected by the other girls. Odette had already summoned a water elemental to protect them as well as attack the Red Bulls.

It didn't take them much before they managed to kill every Red Bull in view. But that doesn't mean that it was over, as they remained vigilant and waited for the High Orcs to appear.

And within a few moments, tall and mighty looking High Orcs appeared in their views. A group of thirty-seven High Orcs, a high number of High Orcs, and also very dangerous to any other parties to encounter.

It is even said that High Orcs are the strongest monster ever known currently. As dragons are not yet encountered inside the dungeons.

"Everyone, make sure to finish them quickly and don't let them get too close. Fighters, keep the High Orcs away from the Mages. Healers, make sure to keep everyone in full health. Rangers, stay with the mages and deal damage from afar."

Leona gave her commands as she then coated her claws with fire, she then conjured several dozens of fire arrows and launched it towards the High Orcs in front of her.

Ruth then floated into the air as she then summoned dozens of Ice Spikes and Wind Blades throwing it towards a dozen High Orcs. She looks like the Goddess of Ice and Wind at this very moment. That Sam watching from the sidelines in stealth can't help but praise her.

*fwwwww *swish

Kathryn pushed the High Orcs by summoning a small wave of water as she blasted it towards the High Orcs behind them. Ina summoned earth spikes from underground as it impaled the unfortunate High Orcs.

*gulugulugulu (AN: Just imagine an ocean wave, kay?)

Eunice did not let herself to be left behind as she increased her speed and can be seen flashing from one place to another. Using [Water Manipulation], she covered the sole of her feet in water making it really slippery.

*swish *swish

Olivia was firing arrows like a madman, or madwoman in her case. But each of those arrows hits the vital parts of the High Orcs making them vulnerable to the others.

*woooooo *spurt

The Fayes were also firing arrows with her [Air Manipulation], Serena was charging like a bulldozer, her momentum was unstoppable.

*spurt *woooo

Vivia had even summoned fire spears in which she used to pierce the heads of a dozen High Orcs. Of the ones with the most damage output, she is third just next to Leona and Eunice.

*crkkkk

The girls soon finish the thirty-seven High Orcs without any injuries. Though they have spent a great amount of mana, they were not exhausted because of the armors they are wearing.

"Let's move forward carefully, make sure to pay attention to the surroundings. Jenny, warn us if you sense anything near us while Olivia will be our eyes. Ina, Odette, and Ruth stay at the center and keep up with the pace."

Leona said as she arranged their formation. They didn't even rest as they knew that they don't need it for now.

Sam who was watching from the sidelines was satisfied with their current performance. So far, they haven't made any mistakes and it seems like Ina was not scared of the monsters anymore.

Vivian had also seemed to have taken things seriously after the last time when she was the one with the least damage output.

'Let's see how they will fare at the second dungeon.'

Sam thought as he followed them without getting seen.
