Chapter 568 [Orcus - II]

"Well, with this we've finished the cleaning of the second floor, it's amazing to see its progress" - Meld smiled as he looked around.

"What about that room, Meld-san?" - Kaori asked as she pointed to the room that had just appeared in front of them.

The students looked at this curiously as they wiped away their sweat.

"Well, this room could be said to be a Russian roulette, it can be a blessing, a fateful end" - Meld replied with a frown - "Inside you can find a treasure of great value, or a slow and horrible death."

"Treasure!" - Daisuke exclaimed in surprise as he squinted at the horrible death part.

"What I mean, is that this room contains an item of great value to the current situation, whatever we find inside this chest, may strengthen one of you, but the odds are extremely low" - replied Meld seriously - "It's even possible for all of us to die in here if we are careless"

"Is this room that dangerous?" - Shizuku asked as she decided not to enter.

"The room is not the dangerous one, what's dangerous is human greed" - replied Meld seriously - "This room is like a mini maze, it's 5 floors where we can find treasures or merciless dangers."

"I think this is a good learning opportunity" - said Kouki seriously.

"No, I promised Aiko-san that I would protect them, but even I'm not sure if this is a good idea" - replied Meld with a frown.

"If it's just an apartment, then it's not much of a problem" - Kouki continued while raising an eyebrow.

Meld frowned, but agreed after hearing how the other students supported their "leader", with the exception of a few - "Fine, but escape when I tell you to."

The students nodded and entered this strange cave, though they were surprised to see that everything was much bigger than they thought.

"Strange" - muttered Meld because this didn't seem like a normal thing.

He had entered some of these rooms during his years of service, and these were small rooms with an exit and an entrance to some stairs, however this time, it was a huge room with a long corridor that seemed to be suspended in the air.

"I have a bad feeling" - Meld said as he looked around - "I think we'd better not go in."

"Easy, you're being too much of a worrywart" - Daisuke said as he looked around.

Cloud frowned when he heard this and braced himself for the worst because his instincts were telling him that there was a huge danger in the place, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years.

"I repeat, I don't think this is a good idea" - Meld stated, only this time with a much louder tone of voice.

Meld was about to say something else, when he saw how a group of students ignored his warnings and walked inside the room - "What are you doing!"

"Proving that it's not dangerous" - one of the students replied.

"Shit!" - Meld exclaimed as he ran after them, but here was the catch, there were only two ways to be able to get out of this place, by opening the chest in the room, or by dying, that's why this room was said to test people's "greed".

"What do we do?" - Kaori asked with a frown.

"Help our classmates, obviously" - replied Kouki as he entered the room along with the others.

"That idiot doesn't think before acting" - muttered Cloud as he walked behind the group because by trying to "save" one part of the group, Kouki had endangered everyone else.

The group slowly advanced through the room until they came to a strange golden chest.

"Don't you guys have a feeling that something very bad, is going to happen?" - One boy asked as he looked at the chest.

"They're being exaggerated" - Daisuke said disdainfully as he stood in front of the chest and prepared to open it.

Cloud frowned at this as he noticed that the pedestal was strange because it looked as if it was a ritual altar - "Stop!"

Daisuke ignored the blond and opened the chest, but the moment he did, everything around him started to glow.

"What's going on!" - Kaori exclaimed in terror.

"This isn't a treasure room!" - Meld shouted in terror - "This is a ritual room! We have to get out of here, or we're all dead!"

The boys quickly turned around, however, before they could take a step, the room began to shake as a huge pentagram appeared at their feet.

"Shit!" - Meld exclaimed in fear as he saw the area begin to shake.

"Good job, you idiot!" - Ryutaro roared as he glared at his friend.

Kouki was silent when he heard this because it was the first time his friend had ever been upset.

The pentagram slowly began to shrink in size and move to behind the chest as a huge screen of light began to rise.

"You can save that for another time, now we have to get out of here!"Shizuku exclaimed, though her expression paled as she watched a huge claw appear from the curtain of light coming out of the pentagram.

A huge hoof while a bull-like face with an elongated snout, a huge black silhouette slowly appeared in front of the group.

"A [Behemoth]!" - Meld said in terror - "Impossible, that thing shouldn't be here."

"Meld-san" - muttered Kaori in terror.

"Run!" - Meld exclaimed without a second thought - "Everyone run as fast as you can!"

The students could only react to his words as they turned around, and prepared to escape.

Daisuke didn't hesitate any longer, he quickly reached into the chest and grabbed something, but the moment he did, the room began to shake.

"What the fuck did you do!" - Meld exclaimed angrily.

"I-I didn't do anything" - replied Daisuke as he hid the object in his clothes, but to his bad luck, Shizuku grabbed his hand and snatched the object from him - "Hey!"

"Are you even an idiot!" - Shizuku roared as she threw the gem into the abyss surrounding the bridge, and glared hatefully at her companion.

However, before he could say anything else to her, he saw everything begin to shake more intensely.

The students let out a cry of surprise as they watched the ground begin to fall apart with each step the beast took against them.

"There's no time to waste now, we have to escape as soon as possible!" - Meld exclaimed as he grabbed his trusty shield - "I'm going to cover the rear while you guys run, and I want all the mages to cast every spell they've learned!"

"H-Hai!" - The students exclaimed as they prepared for combat, or at least what they needed to get away.

Cloud was preparing to draw his weapons, when he felt a hand on his shoulder - "Kaori?"

"Come on, we have to escape" - Kaori answered as she took the blond's hand and dragged him out of the place.

Cloud frowned, but didn't say anything to interrupt her because he could tell the worry in her gaze.

Kouki watched this silently, but deep inside he was jealous of the attention Kaori was giving the blond.

"Concentrate on what's in front of us, then you can go on with your fucking jealousy" - Ryutaro said seriously, lately he has been being the voice of reason of the group because he could see how his friend was getting worse and worse.

"Sorry" - muttered Kouki as he saw the beast that was approaching towards them.

"Son of a bitch!" - Daisuke roared in his thoughts as he clenched his hands, when an idea flashed through his mind - "Right, this is the perfect opportunity!"

A huge smile appeared on his lips as he watched Kaori let go of the blond and prepared to help the others with her magic.

He slowly reached out his hand as he watched everything around him begin to fall apart.

The group was running away carefully because they didn't want to make a wrong step and fall straight into the abyss, but the [Behemoth] started to move faster against them, and this was making them panic.

"Run!" - it is unknown who went first, but the students stopped worrying about the others, and ran against the entrance at full speed.

"Keep throwing magics, or we'll all die!" - Meld roared as he blocked the attack from the claws of the massive 10 meter long beast.

"That's what happens when you send children to do the job of trained adults" - muttered Rika as she watched as only a small group followed orders while the others ran away at full speed, but her expression quickly changed when she saw something - "Wait, that killer instinct!"

She quickly glanced at the source and noticed how Daisuke extended his hand and started to summon a fireball - "I don't think he's that much of a son of a bitch."

But to her surprise, what she was thinking would happen, happened.

"Cloud, watch out!" - Rika exclaimed with wide eyes.

"!" - Daisuke trembled when he heard this voice because it was obvious that someone had seen him and discovered his intention, but a smile appeared on his lips when he saw how the fireball impacted against the blond - "It doesn't matter anymore, my goal has been completed."

"Cloud!" - Kaori exclaimed as she saw the blond fall into the abyss after being hit by the allied attack.

"Cloud!" - Shizuku shouted in terror as she looked around and noticed the smoke coming from Daisuke's hand - "You!"
