Chapter 5: Chapter 5

"Skyler… hay Skyler, wake up already." Anna waked me up, "How long you gonna plan to sleep. It's eight already. Rise and shine, little bro."

"Someone seemed very energetic today." I yearned, "Wait a sec. did you said eight already!!"

Hurriedly, I took a look at the watch next to my bed. It was indeed passed eight. Hold on. Why do I need to wake this early? It was normal for me to sleep till ten.

"Hay sis? What's with the commotion?" irritatingly I looked at her, "You do know, I wake very late in morning. It's not like today's something special and why the hell are you dressed like that."

For past three years, I always worked late at night. Forging weapons, creating ammo that can adjust with my skills, and mastering the Gravity Implosion skill, everything I did till very late night.

And it became a bad habit for me to wake late in day. Anna knows all that— that excluded my skills and about the system.

And yet still, I couldn't mastered all the abilities of my active skill. The way I'm now, it wasn't enough to fulfil my dream.

"Com'on, Skyler. What're you thinking. Didn't you promised me to go shopping after your first payment." She made cute puppy eyes, "Don't tell me you forgot already."

Oopps, I forgot. After all the fuss of last night, I forgot all of my plans, including to take her for shopping. But seeing her energetic and happy mood after what happened, my worries were lifted off.

"Yeah, yeah. I remember. Just give me some time. I'll be ready in no time. Then you can go all out in shopping." I gave her a thumbs up.

She was reacting like I was some sort of wish granting god as she in a praying manner said, "O God. May your blessing brings good fortune upon my brother. So I can waste them to go shopping or movies."

'Jeez, what an actress.' I thought and went to prepare.

Parking her car, we were about to enter the shopping mall. Walking just near the entrance, I got a phone call. It was Leona who called me.

After our first raid, Leona and Kate shared their contact info with me. But I was shocked to receive a phone call this early. Oh sorry, it's ten already.

"Hay sis, mind if I take the call." I asked for her permission.

"Go ahead."

What I expected became true. They need my help in a dungeon within thirty minutes. And here I was thinking to spend time with Anna. I couldn't turn them down. It was an emergency and they needed my detection skill.

"Hay sis. An important call just arrived. I need…."

"Don't worry about me. I knew you have to be busy after becoming a Zeon." She sighed, "Now I have to miss my careless and carefree little brother after all."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." I smiled an gave her my bank card, "Buy whatever you like I have more than enough Siet to spend." I ran from there. ( Siet is the name of currency & 1 Siet= $10)

*****************

Near a dungeon gate six zeons were waiting. Leona wasn't there. She must be on her way. I, wearing the same casual dress as I when I left home with Anna, went near them.

One of the zeons noticed me. He was just like a body builder and tough. His muscles were as hard as rock. His eyes were as sharp as eagle. With his tall body near seven feet, and green hairs, he looked at me. He was handsome yet the way of staring at me was terrifying.

"Boy, go back where you came from? This isn't a place for you to roam about. What lies ahead is extremely dangerous." Even his voice was deep.

"Pardon. But I'm a zeon. And I'm called here by….."

"Zeon you say? What's your rank boy?" He suspected me for some reason.

"I'm D rank…" as soon as I said my rank, he burst into laugh. He laughed and laughed; only laughed. The sound of his laugh annoyingly irritated me.

"Hay guys.." He called the others, "He's here to help us out with being D rank zeon. YAAA HAAAA HAAAAA!!!"

"What! That's hilarious. HAA HAA." A girl joined him as well as the other laughed at me. Every single one of them laughed.

"Look boy. We don't have any time for your jokes. We're already too busy to think anything else right now."

"But I'm serious. I was called to join the raid team." I tried to convince them.

"Stop fearing him out Max." the girl with long brown hair put her hands on the tall person who appeared to be Max, "If he was called to join our team, why don't we make him carry our bags. I mean it's a fair job after all. What else can he do.." She smiled arrogantly.

Seriously, what's the big deal. As if they are completely opposite of Eva or even Kate. They were much polite to me even if I was lower rank than them.

"I bet Risa is right." The man next to the girl told, "After all A+ Rank zeons like us really need a D rank zeon to carry our loads. It'll show our dignity how great we are, don't you agree Max."

"Indeed Mark. You may have a point. At the least he can show us how much he's capable of. HAAA HAAA HAAA."

I've had enough. They were just talking whatever the liked. I really shouldn't have come here skipping my sister.

"You wanna see how much I'm capable of?" I smiled. I'm not that type of person who just keep hearing humiliating words.

"What's with the look, boy." Max told, "Let me assure you. There's no point in picking fight with me. You're a D Rank while I'm A+ Rank." He stood firmly in front of me.

[Notice: Zeon, Max's estimated AP output :790. Rank :A+. Class: Enhancer]

"Let's see…. Ah.. So you're an Enhancer with high MP infusing body muscles." I replied him seeing his analytical data on the screen.

"How did you.." Before he finished, I jumped and stroke a hand-chop around his neck— making him to loose consciousness.

What? Don't look at me like that. He was way taller than me. I needed to jump to reach the point where his MP disturbance was found by my system.

The gigantic body of his fell on the ground with a sound. Others were stunned to see that. An enhancer like him, with A+ Rank nonetheless, passed out in blink of an eye.

"Damn you!!"

"Enough Mark." Leona, at last reached the place, "What's going on here?"

"This D Rank zeon made Max passed out in a single attack. There's no way I can let him go freely."

"This is the reason why I didn't want to work with the members of Legion Guild." Her face was as usual, entirely emotionless, "It was you guys who wanted a person capable of detecting abnormal activity of the monster inside dungeon."

That explained it. Apparently, Legion Guild requested a cooperative raid with Stella Guild, hearing that someone has extraordinary capability in detection.

The dungeon was already cleared once. But, even after five hour of defeating the boss the gate of the dungeon didn't vanished. That was an unusual case.

To investigate thoroughly, Mark who heard of me from Leona made that request. As a matter of fact, everyone in the Legion Guild, is above rank C. That's why hearing my rank, they became arrogant.

"Look Mark, if you want his enhanced vision of which example you just witnessed, you better show some respect." She went straight for Mark, "Or else I'll cancel this request of yours."

"Argh!!!..Okay fine. Whatever." He turned towards me, "We're sorry, Mr D Rank Zeon."

"Skyler would be fine." I replied with a satisfaction on my face.

"So, Skyler how long Max gonna sleep like that." The girl named Risa asked, "We can't afford to leave him here and go for the Dungeon."

"Actually we can. Let's just leave him here." Leona was confident on my skills, "It's a waste of time waiting for him to wake up. And even if he join in the raid, he'll cause nothing more than problems, I assume."

Others looked at each other as they didn't comprehend what she implied. But followed her as she was the first to enter the previously cleared dungeon. I followed her as well.

"Hay, Joseph. Stay by Max's side until we come back." Before entering Mark told Joseph. He was a healer. Another healer named Erika, however went with us.

Now it's time to see what's the mystery of this dungeon.

[Notice: Seven star material detected. Required for entering side quest to increase EP count for the Keys]

"Lucky me." I smiled.1Dungeon was a abnormal phenomena. Ever since the formation of Aether Cities, the dungeons started appearing only in Terra Region.

Whenever a dungeon gate appeared, Zeon got only hundred hours to clear it. If the boss of a dungeon was not taken care of within this time, the gates would explode damaging the nearby areas. And the monster of the dungeon would roam freely. Higher the rank of the dungeon higher the casualties of the explosion.

After defeating the boss, Zeons had only time of five hours before the gates permanently closes. But very rarely, the gates wouldn't close after defeating the boss. That only lead us in the contrary, that there's a second boss hiding inside the dungeon. And the second boss always is a greater threat.

Right now, we were inspecting the previously cleared C Rank dungeon. It's already been ten hours after defeating the boss. Thus, we have additional ten more hours to clear this one.

The rotting smell of the dead monster, the gloominess of the dark cave, and the calmness dominating the entire dungeon, concerned me. I didn't know what the others thought, but I really had a bad feeling about the dungeon. It was creepy.

"Skyler, detect anything yet?" Leona broke the silence, "Let us know if any. This place is bugging me for some reasons."

"Right now, there's no sign of any monsters. However, MP density is increasing with due time. It's unusual."

"It sure is unusual." Mark spoke, "As the boss has been already defeated there is no source of MP that can maintain the Dungeon. If what you're saying is true, then a greater monster has to be around. It maybe a B Rank or higher."

[Warning: MP density at maximum]

[Warning: Fall Back]

"Everyone retreat. Retreat at once!!!" I screamed. I've never seen my system reacting with warning sign before. The foe must be on a different level.

"What're you talking about. The dungeon is not that much of a big deal." Risa smiled, "Well, you're D rank. Maybe the remaining monster is out of your calibre."

"I wouldn't bring that up if I were you." Leona prepared with her dual blades, "Even the B Rank boss didn't stand one minute against Skyler, yesterday. Mark, infuse your thunder with my blades." He nodded.

"That's absurd. Do you really think I'm gonna just believe what you babbled. Even we had hard time defeating the C rank boss of this dungeon…"

"Guys stop it." I screamed again, "If you value your life, run. Run at once. Someone's coming." My head was hazed in fear.

'Why I'm this scared all of a sudden? Why the system acting weird? Why the prompt screen is making glitches?' I thought as the sweat dropped from my head. My guns were prepared— yet trembled in fear? I couldn't comprehend.

[War…ning:…Zeon….Mu..st flee….]

From the depth of that cave, a small girl appeared, out of the darkness. She looked completely normal; age maybe around eight or nine.

Her hairs were long and black, even touched the ground. Her eyes were blank as if there was no living sign in her eyes. That innocent face of her scared the hell out of me.

"That's strange. Did she by chance entered the dungeon and got lost" Risa started walking towards her, "Hay little girl, how did you end up here?"

She didn't spoke, looked at her, then stared at us. With intention to say something she opened her mouth.

She said something. Her voice made a huge shockwave, equivalent to roar of millions of monster bosses; too high to hear, too complex to understand.

We all closed our ears putting hands. However Risa's one arm got slashed off, causing her to bleed.

The little girl raised her hands. She was about to slash of Risa entirely. If it wasn't for me who used Time Relativity.

That ability was also listed under Gravity Implosion. Creating a stronger gravitational field in that entire dungeon, making the relative time of the dungeon slower than the actual. Thus, I accelerating the time on myself, ran fast. Taking her from that girl, we fell back.

To a normal people's eye, a light sparkled where I stood, and I was there with Risa the next moment. As if I didn't even move but got Risa who was in my arms.

They were shocked. But it wasn't the time for any question. Mark immediately threw one of his strongest spell 'Lightning Storm'; causing the entire cave to fall upon her. Without anyone's noticing I used my skills to pressure her downside.

"Everyone fall back now." A wise option to be chosen by Mark, "Erika, heal Risa while running. I'll keep an eye on that girl while running as well. William & Leona run in front of them."

We started running. Leona and a guy were in front of us, while Erika was healing Risa who was in my arms. Mark was running behind us.

[Warning: Identification confirmed]

[Warning: the individual appears to be a small fragment of one of the five Primitive Demon of Apocalypse, Name: Nekoria, apocalyptic demon of 'True Chaos']

[Warning: AP output & MP count exceeded over measurement level]

[Warning: Immediate raid aborting recommended]

Just my luck. Not only did I lost the sweet time with my sis, I encountered a small fragment of one of the greatest disaster this world had ever faced.

"William, take her." I gave him Risa who was still being healed. I knew we didn't have much time. But only I could keep the demon busy until they got out of there.

'Hay system, is it possible for her to leave the dungeon' couldn't help myself but ask. After all, if the demon went outside, it might bring disaster.

[Notice: Can't be answered]

I saw that coming anyway. Guess I don't have anything left to choose.

"Hay Mark, you follow them. I'm staying behind for a moment and see what I can find about that girl." I slowed my speed.

"You sure? Good luck then. We'll be waiting for you outside the gate." He ran with the rest. Leona might not hear though.

[Notice: Anti-Elemental Barrier acquired. Initiate Anti-Elemental Barrier? Yes/No]

'I highly doubt she's a elemental. But let's give it a try.'

With my command, a force field barrier blocked the path. The girl, after a minute, approached there with her gentle walking.

Observing the barrier with her hands she halted, looked at me. Without making any sound she said something.

The barrier shattered. Suddenly my sense got blank. I only felt something crossed me.
