Volume 7 Chapter 11: Battle From The Get-go!

"Has everyone prepared their equipment?" Keith questioned. He was dressed in the armor of the time he went to the S-rank dungeon. His words caused Herrick to raise his hand, "I'm ready for everything!"

He was extremely excited about dealing with them! Keith chuckled. After surviving his bane, he was eager to fight!

"What about you guys?" Keith turned to Scarlet and Leona. This would be the first time they would enter the dungeon with them.

"Always!" "Understood."

"Alright! Let's head off!" Keith grinned. The first place they headed to was the adventurer's guild.

"Which dungeon are you heading to?"

"Hello, Keith." Madison greeted the group, "Are you ready to head to the dungeon?"

"Mmhmm." Keith nodded.

"Have you decided on which one?" Herrick and the others blinked. Keith was the one who decided on what dungeon to go to. Input from the others was a given. However, the one who had the final say was Keith.

"The one we're going to is called High Grove." This was a B-rank dungeon. It was interesting from what he saw. And the group could handle this as well.

"Interesting." The others were quite eager.

"Good luck out there." Madison nodded.

"Let's go get ourselves a carriage." Keith and the others nodded their heads as they set off.

"Scarlet, are you excited by this?" Keith tilted his head. He noticed how Scarlet had a bright smile. For a second, he saw cat ears on top of her head.

"Mmhmm. It will be my first time entering the dungeon with my friends."

"What about the practical?"

"That was politics." That eager expression changed into a dark one. Alfia was the same as well.

"Don't remind me of that. It was too annoying."

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Hey. I don't want to hear how annoying it was. You didn't have to do it with two people."

"But from what I heard, you were having picnics." Herrick retorted.

"Ah, I don't think we were."

"You were." Everyone remembered what happened. Those two were having sandwiches with bright smiles. That alone was enough to make them angry.

"I wish we could have eaten then as well."

"We're going to have some later."

"Haha," Everyone laughed in the carriage without a care in the world. This is good. While everyone continued to talk, Keith smiled. Morale was high.

If they entered the dungeon like this, they would crush whoever came their way.

"We're here." The coachman called out. Paying the person, Keith stared at the entrance. There wasn't a cave, but rather stairs like the S-rank dungeon.

"How are we supposed to proceed, Keith?"

"We can go down first. It's going to be a lobby." Keith explained. And like that, everyone headed down the stairs. He saw a few parties. However, it could only be counted on one hand. That was how few it was.

That was to be expected since this was a B-rank dungeon.

"Alright, we're heading down to the first floor. Remember the formation we have set up." Keith instructed.

"Mmhmm!" The others nodded to that as they set up their formation. Like that, the group headed down the stairs.

"Woah!" "There's a giant meadow!" Everyone gasped at how wide the area was. Before them was a vibrant and lush meadow. It was incredible for the eyes.

"Yeah, had to choose something with more life after going to that dungeon." Keith laughed. But as he said this,

"Monsters ahead of us!"

Everyone quickly moved into their places. What was before them was a few giant bulls.

"Woah, they're bigger than rush bulls." "Do you see the size of their horns?"

"Watch out for their horn and charge. Herrick, Melor, I want you two to force them upwards with your weapons."

"Understood!" Like that, Herrick and Melor charged at the bulls. In retaliation, the bulls did the same.

Slam! A resounding sound came from the two's weapons against the horns.

"These things are sharp." Getting a closer look at the horns, one nick from them would have caused damage.

"Sniff!" The bull released a mighty snort as it tried to push Herrick away. Its horn was ready to pierce him.

"Hmpf!" Herrick swung his sword upwards as they saw the horns about to charge at them!

"Moo!" The force caught the bull off guard as its head was sent upwards.

"My turn!" What came next was Melor as he sent the beast flying away! The bulls were surprised by the force. However, that didn't stop them. It made them more furious!

They slammed their hooves on the ground, shoving them deep to get traction. They were going to rush at them with great speed.

"Faelyn."

"On it." Faelyn placed her hand on the ground, causing a giant wall to form in front of them! Yet, the bulls didn't care! They charged through them only to find no one was there.

"Too late. Fire away!"
