High Level Dungeon
After that surprise performance by Vanoss, the adventurers present began to pack up and split up, still remembering that event. But the only person who isn't mostly happy is Wildcat, his plan was damn ruined by the asshole he just hated.
They also ask Vanoss what the mysterious creature in the sky was, but Vanoss seems oblivious about it, no matter how many questions they ask, he continues to act dumb. So they just give up and remain the unidentified beast as a mystery, even though they still feel Vanoss had already known and he refuses to answer.
Anyway, after ten minutes of walking through the dungeon, Basically turned around to look at the two parties and asked.
"So, while we beat that giant elephant back there. Does anybody want to share how many monsters you guys killed?"
"I've already killed 1728." Sokushi was the first to speak.
"1222." Peter follows.
"4191." Draila said.
Wildcat added, "25,898."
"32,432." Terroriser
"Damn it, I only have 2125." Basically grumbled. He cast a glance at the last person, Vanoss, and asked, "You Evan?"
"Oh, dunno, lost count at the 54,199 part."
"DAFUQ?!" Wildcat exclaimed. "No way! That's bullet"
"Tell Brian to check out the kill counts."
Marcel and Tyler drew their gaze at Brian, who immediately looked at the kill counts and learned that Vanoss was indeed telling the truth.
"No fucking way."
"Evan! I know your little tom fuckery hacks, I know you did something with it! Like what you did back with the spin the bottle thing!"
"I swear I didn't. But I do know why."
"What?"
"That's because you're not supposed to share people with your kills." He smirked.
"...Guys, can I kill him?" Wildcat asked, slowly pulling out a Glock.
"I don't think it's a good idea, man."
"Oi! You little brats! Stop with the children's acts and let's move! Sokushi found something!" Draila called the group out in the distance. They suddenly found themselves way far from Draila's group with their argument.
Forgetting their little argument, except for Wildcat. The group made it to a large space, scattered around were large holes.
"Is it me or does it look similar as the backrooms?" Terroriser asked the group.
Everyone ignored his question as they moved around the area.
"So Mr. Encyclopedia, you know any of this?" Wildcat asked Sokushi next to him.
"I do, me and my party were once seen this back on the 90th floor a few years ago, either of them takes you to random areas around the dungeon floor."
"Oh, so it's like the backrooms!" Vanoss said in a surprised tone.
"Hey, I was the first to say it was." Terroriser angrily shouted.
"Anyway, which hole should we enter?" Wildcat asked, giving a smirk at Marcel who rolled his eyes.
"It's random, we ain't splitting up again like last time."
"I agree." Draila said.
——————————————————————
A portal opened up in the skies and out of it came Vanoss and Draila's group as they were now falling through densely dark clouds and continued falling in the middle of the cloudy weather with light rainfall accompanying it.
"Well, I didn't expect this to happen." Draila said calmly. "But this will be fun."
"I can't say the same for those four." Sokushi pointed out Vanoss, Wildcat, Terroriser, and Basically as they both screamed in the air.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"AHHHHHH!"
"AHHHH! AHHHHH! AHH!"
"Relax you four!" Peter snapped at the idiots.
Terroriser responded, "WE'RE GONNA DIE FROM THIS FALL! AHHHHHHHHH!"
"Everyone, will you please shut up!" Sokushi suddenly yelled at them, which is a bit surprising coming from a quiet kid, "We need to land now!"
Looking at the ground that they were moving closer at the passing second, Sokushi quickly brings out a long chain and the group grab onto it and they spotted a couple of trees.
"Hang on!"
Throwing the other half of the chain towards a very tall tree, the chain wrapped around it and they stopped falling thanks to it.
"Phew." Basically sighed in relief. Once they know they are safe, the group jumps off the tree and land on the ground
"Please tell me we're safe now."
As if fate is messing with Terroriser, the group then saw a swarm of magical beasts heading right towards them.
"No! We aren't! Run!"
The gang immediately ran through the forest they were in as the magical beast twice their size chased after them and continued firing at them with magical attacks.
"Evan, do something!" Ava shouted as she looked behind her, three large
"What?" Vanoss snapped his head back to face Draila and shouted. "What in the world do you expect me to do in this situation? These motherfuckers are much stronger than me! I'll get torn into millions of pieces if I try to fight them!"
[What about me? Should you bring me out to help?] Vritrus, the Dragon that was with Vanoss asked, located deep within his soul.
"Nah, where's the fun in that?"
"Hey guys, wait up!"
Draila was jolted from her thoughts when she heard Terroriser's voice from way behind. She almost tripped over her footsteps when she turned around.
Click! Click!
As Terroriser attempted to light up the cigarette in his mouth, sparks flew in the air as everyone watched him run behind them with a cigarette in his mouth and a lighter nearby.
"..."
At this moment, nobody couldn't quite comprehend what they were seeing. The scene before them was just too baffling for most of them to understand.
In fact, most members of the Banana Crew weren't even surprised by this, but to Draila's gang, trying to smoke while being chased by an army of B-rank creatures would only a madman would think of doing such things.
"Stop trying to smoke! It's no wonder that you can't keep up with us, your lungs don't even work!"
*puff*
Taking a small puff while smoke diffused in the air, Terroriser glanced at Peter who shouted at him.
"I don't even have any lungs."
"Then why the hell are you smoking!?"
"Forget it man, you get used to the ridiculousness around you." Wildcat said to the bear demihuman as he patted his shoulder while they were running.
In the meantime, Terroriser's body twisted as he took out his shotgun from his inventory and shot it toward one of the beasts behind him.
BANG!
A powerful blasting sound echoed out as his body propelled backward, allowing him to distance himself from the creature. Unfortunately, the creature was completely unharmed by the sudden attack. Rather, it seemed even more enraged as its roar shook the entire forest.
"ROOOAR!"
"…That was a close one."
Reloading his gun, Terroriser caught up with the rest.
*puff*
He then took another puff. Completely disregarding what had happened not too long ago.
"How about it, not bad right?"
"Don't even…"
BOOOM!
From behind the group, they heard what sounded like a large explosion. Likewise, everyone turned their heads to stare at the source of the noise.
Their eyesight was obscured by a cloud of dust. The dust soon cleared, and when everyone finally saw what was happening, they saw a muscular figure standing atop the creature.
"Who the fuck are you all?"
"Sir Lee?!"
"Who?" The crew said simultaneously.
"Sir Lee, he was one of the strongest generals in the kingdom, not until he retires and became a B-rank Adventurer" Peter explained, "He is a one man who has the strength of a whole army, one time he wiped out 50,000 C-rank magical beasts on his own without a sweat. And-"
Interrupting Peter's explanation was a large shadow looming over him. Slowly looking upwards, he stared at the opposing figure of the man.
[IMAGES]
"I'll take a guess you guys went through those multiple holes that can take you to random areas?"
"Um... yes."
"You can't be here, this is an A-rank dungeon you were in, a place where a simple E-rank like you seven were nothing but food, a place where the weakest monster is the strongest D-rank."
"Okay, so... where is the exit?" Basically asked, "We should be leaving right now if this place is dangerous for us."
"I don't think that's possible, this A-rank dungeon is a type where you go in the place, you never go in the back."
"Why the fuck it sounds like that quote-"
"Anyway, you need to follow me, alone in this forest is very dangerous."
Everyone nodded and began to follow the man. After minutes of walking, they step foot on a cliff where they view something traumatic.
"What the?"
Everyone looking in the direction of what they were seeing made their expressions into complete shock, although Lee seemed more stable with what he was seeing.
"Dios mio."
What they were seeing was an entire area of land filled with dead bodies of humans and magical beasts, massive craters, as an army of adventurers, numbering over a thousand battling against hundreds of gorilla like monsters with the size from two meters to fifty, a massive goat-like beast, about the same height as the Statue of Liberty that summons a mist that blinded the surroundings, including summoning various of creatures made out of mist continuously.
In simple terms... It's a battlefield.
Removing his sunglasses, Terroriser could only look at this in awe, "To think this land was just a simple forest, but now... it's-"
"A No Man's Land."
Everyone, including Lee, looked at Basically, who was about to speak in a dramatic tone.
"A term that was used in World War 1, and this battle recreated something similar with only difference being the fantasy type thing."
"...Okay." Peter stares at Marcel weirdly.
"You adventurers might have been stuck with your fighting monsters and bosses with your teamwork, but this is ain't that." Lee murmured deeply as he stared down at the battle in the distance, "This is bloody warfare."
Rumble—!
As they took a step forward, the earth started to rumble violently.
"What's this tremor?"
As if answering his question, Vanoss noticed that the ground in the middle of a group of adventurers in the distance broke open, creating an enormous hole on the ground.
Then, something massive emerged from the hole. It was at least 540 or 560 feet tall and had massive horns in its mouth, blue eyes and pink skin. Everybody who saw the massive monster immediately jumped back and looked at the monster that appeared.

"...Well, that sucks."
"RAAARRRRRGGH!"
BOOM!
As the massive crocodile roars that shook the entire battlefield, it creates a powerful shockwave that blows countless adventurers like a leaf being blown by the wind, the stronger ones managed to hold themselves and were about to fight against it.
"All of you stand back!" Lee shouted at the group and held his sheathe, "This fight is not at your level!"
Pulling his sword out from his sheath, the blade let out magical energy that changes the atmosphere at the following moment.
Curious, Terroriser used his cybernetic eyes to scan the sword and its properties.
==================================
Name: Extraordinary Second Order
Class: Legendary (B+)
Abilities:
-Innate Wisdom -Increases Magical Power (+10 Levels) -Slain Enemies that are Beyond the User's Level
==================================
Slamming his foot on the ground, one of the strongest adventurers rushed at the Crocodile at tremendous speed, causing the dust from his path to rise to the sky and ready to join the battle.
"And there he goes." Wildcat remarked with a deadpan look. He looks at the others around him boredly and asked, "Wanna get the fuck out of here and do on our own thing?"
"Tyler! You did hear him say this dungeon is not even our level to face." Basically rebuked him, "And also, why would we-"
Cutting himself off, Basically felt something approaching them at terrifying speed, he looked around and asked, "Guys, do you feel something?"
Looking around, literally everyone shrugged their shoulders in unison.
"No, not really. Why?"
"I feel something is approaching us at Mach 8 or something, tha-"
Once Marcel lay his eyes on the sky, his eyes widened and a look of panic clouded over his face.
"INCOMING!"
Looking upwards, the group notices over a thousand of Falcon-like creatures come out from the sky and fly themselves towards the battlefield at terrifying speed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Shockingly, the majority of these falcons used themselves as missiles to strike everything down and explode on impact, sending everything from trees and adventurers flying. While some were stopped by stronger adventurers, many were injured by their suicidal attacks.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh! Why are they kamikazing on us!?"
"Shut up and keep running!"
Minutes after running from a literal Battle of Leyte Gulf, everyone managed to save themselves by entering a forest, not knowing the current situation on the main battlefield.
"I think we lost em." Vanoss said.
"Yeah, we even got lost ourselves." Peter added.
Everyone looks around for a moment and realizes they are back in the forest. With all the fog around them, it is hard to locate where they previously headed.
"Hey guys!"
Everyone looked at the source of the noise and saw Terroriser.
"Where have you been, Brian?"
"Just planting some trucks until these suicidal birds show up." Terroriser replied.
Peter facepalmed, "Jeez, please I hope things can't get any worse than this."
Just then, they heard a small noise below them to see a little baby humanoid made out of wood.
"Awwww, come here little guy." Draila cooed at the sight of the creature.
The little groot was a bit hesitant but it approached the palm of Draila's hand and climbed onto it. Smiling widely, Draila shows it to the rest.
"It's a baby!"
"Is that baby Groot?" Vanoss asked, staring at it.
"Baby Groot, ei?" Leaning forward, Terroriser examines the little creature before saying, "You should already know from watching the movie that you should never trust these things! Kill it!"
"What?! No! Not this adorable thing..." Draila objects to the robot as she clings into the adorable creature, she then observes it more and says, "Seems like a boy, I'll call him Simone!"
Simone: :)
The small creature made of wood cheerful smiles, as if it likes the name.
Wildcat sighed in relief, "Phew. For a second I thought we would have been jinxed."
While the rest were observing the cute small wooden creature, Sokushi was looking around until he saw something sticking out. Squinting his eyes, he tried to take a closer look until he heard rumbling noises coming from deeper from the forest... as if a huge swarm or horde was about to come through it.
"Uh, guys..."
Then, from the forest came out a massive swarm of Treants, dangerous version ones ranging from millions of numbers approaching right at them.
[IMAGES]
"Nope! We definitely got jinxed!"
"Run!"
The little wooden creature Simone grabs onto Draila's hair and the gang quickly run out from the area and into the forest with the swarm right behind them.
"Brian! Use the MLRS to slow them down!" Wildcat yelled at his robotic friend as he began to summon golden wormholes and launched hundreds of various magical weapons at the horde. Even though he had killed thousands in seconds, there are countless more coming that not even his Gates is enough, if not for his great limitation of his ability.
"I know! I know!" Terroriser closes his eyes and uses his technological link to a hundred trucks located way back at the main battlefield.
[GIF]
The MLRS raises the rocket barrels on their backs before firing countless ballistic missiles like a raging god. These ballistic missiles easily flew above the battlefield, to both sides' confusion. As they tore through the skies at mach speeds, before raining down to the swarm of a literal moving forest.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each missile caused death and destruction of the forest, exploding and blowing up a good chunk of the trees in legs but a couple of them were strong enough to withstand all of them and continue to head towards the group, followed by millions of more Treants that weren't hit by the missiles.
"That didn't slow them down!"
"We need to outrun them or something!"
"Ah fuck this!"
Bringing something from his inventory, Terroriser tossed it in front of the group, the gang looked ahead and what they saw was the Fortress Tank.
"What is that!?"
"GET TO THE TANK! NO QUESTIONS!" Terroriser shouted in his Arnold tone as he pushed everyone inside the armored vehicle.
"Brian, are you sure this could outrun them?" Basically asked.
"This baby could go over a hundred kilometers per hour, so yes."
After he says that, he starts the engine and without wasting a second, he drives the tank through the forest at high speed. Due to its wheels and built to drive through any terrain, it easily bypasses any obstacles it comes across, especially trees as it crushes any of them from its path.
