"Finally trust me and we will make it out alive"

Across the city
Association Headquarters
"Mr president, come look at this"
"What is it? It better be important" Thomas says sternly
"Look a dungeon has advanced from a D Rank to a B Rank" his secretary exlaims.
"Okay and what's important about that? Dungeons break all the time just send out B Ranks from here to sort it out"
"Your right this wouldn't be an issue, but the SilverStar Academy is doing their dungeon adventures today, and Isabella's group is in there"
"Huh? Isabella??" He says with a shocked face "Janice give me my phone, quickly"
"Here you go"
'Damnit not Isabella if it was Shin or Ren they would be fine but Isabella she is only a C rank, I need to call my daughter’
————-
*ring ring
"Natasha answer your phone" Shin says while eating
"I am"
(Dad? What's wrong?)
(Natahsa who is in Isabella's group? Is there anyone A or B rank there?)
(No she's I think the strongest why do you ask about her and how do you know she's in a group?)
(Fuck! Okay Natasha I need to go)
*beep
'What the hell was that? I've never seen my dad like that in a while Natasha thinks to herself
"What happened? What did Uncle want?" Ren asks
"Um guys, I think Isabella is in trouble… we need to go, right now" Natasha says grabbing her bag and immediately running
Shin and the rest throw money on the table to pay for the food, and follow her out running

Back in the dungeon…
"If you guys want to live, you will listen to me, and move exactly as I say, got it?" I say with a serious tone. "If you don't listen to me exactly I cannot confirm our survival"
"Okay" Sophia agreed while holding her sword
"I'll be in your care" James says as he takes out his long sword and shield
"I already gave you command so you know my answer" Isabella as she takes out her bow.
"Ugh fine since everyone else agreed I will also listen to you" Tanner says unwillingly
"Don't worry, I have a plan, it should make us hold on until reinforcements come"
"Here is the plan, firstly we will walk this path outside of the dungeon, Tanner and James infront as they are the two strongest in close combat, behind them will be Sophia and I who can help destroy the little guys who pass those two, and behind us, is Isabella., Got it?"
Everyone simultaneously "got it"
As we start walking down this dungeon to leave, the plan I have devised is working out quite nicely, although I really hate to admit it, Tanner can most definitely wield a sword, he is cutting through these low raking monsters like butter, precisely going straight for the heart and the head as he is looking like he is dancing
James is also doing really well with his slice and block method, with his long sword and shield. Not much gets past these two which is what I suspected.
Whatever does make it past them, meets a swift death as Sophia who isn't scared anymore, instantly stabs her sword through the chest of these low rank monsters. I haven't had to lift my fingers!
"Good job my sla- my friends! You guys are doing super good" I shout with my hand in the air
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
Sophia Tanner and James veins pop out in their heads 'you were going to say slave weren't you'
"Let us continue down this path, we are almost to the exit" I say confidently
—————
Back in association headquarters
"Dad, what is happening to Isabella?" Natasha asks worryingly
"Nat, it isn't your problem we got it under control"
"What the hell do you mean not my problem!? Isabella is one of my friends so it is my problem."
"Uh fine, the dungeon that she has entered has broken"
"Okay so what it went from a D-C rank?"
"No Natasha, it's now a B Rank dungeon"
"P-pardon? B Rank?"
"Yes that is why I asked if anyone B Rank was in that group, without it some of them will die."
"No no dad what are you gonna do?"
"I called Oliver and as soon as he heard the issue he took off there with members of his guild, he should settle it"
"I'm going" Natasha as she grabs her Bow and Sword from her guild locker
"No your not, you will stay here"
"You expect me to stay here? When my friend is in danger! No chance in hell"
Natasha quickly grabs her items and starts running, right after she leaves the building the rest are waiting outside
"What happened?" Shin asks concerned.
"The dungeon she is in became a B Rank, my dad said Uncle Oliver is on the way but I also need to go. I need to see what happens"
"Then I'm coming too" Ren declares, "you won't stop me, we're all friends"
"Fine, I don't care who comes but I'm leaving now"
'Hold on Bella I'm coming for you, my best friend'
—————
Outside of the dungeon
"Okay, now that that is prepared, no roaches should get inside hehehe, and no little ones can escape" Kaizer says with a devilish laugh
"I hope you guys are doing well, enjoying the appetizer's, after all the main course hasn't even started yet"
When Kaizer says that, he grabs another button from his pocket.
"Oh ho this should be more the enough for a main dish" he says licking his lips, "good luck my little ones, I'll be leaving you guys a bit early today"
He says pressing the button and walking away from the dungeon
—————
In the dungeon
"Liam I see the exit!" Tanner shouts
"Good good, let's keep advancing and get out"
As we continue moving forward, we can't tell how many monsters we have killed, it has been non stop stab and walk cut and walk, we are all covered in blood.
Tanner and James can't last much longer, sure they are strong but they are human! After all this killing they have done since the start they are losing stamina fast.
"Okay we're here let's go" James says
As we try to leave the dungeon, we're hit with a invisible wall
'Huh? What is this' this wasn't in the novel… I'm thinking to myself, there's no way… did… did the situation change?? My eyes begin to flash worry, There was no invisible wall in the nove. I feel like I'm missing something, this was too easy and no one would die from this anyways, how can I not remember what happened here??? What the hell
"Okay Liam what do we do next?" Tanner asks, fully trusting me to handle the situation
"Give me a second"
'Why do you trust me? Why now? When I don't know what Is happening'
While lost in my thought we hear a loud roar… 'oh, how could I forget. The reason that James, and Sophia died before…
the B Rank Goliath, is now here.
'How could I forget such a big piece of information?' I begin questioning,
The Goliath, a monster with a super rough hide, and spikes covered in their back. They are monsters that can evolve ranks, and with each evolution they become bigger, stronger, and faster.
The one infront of us is a B Rank, how can we defeat this?
"Liam what do we do?"
I cam myself down, "Okay guys, avoid the mouth it has fire breath and can burn us from a distance, the best thing to do is to attack from long range" I say while looking at Isabella
It seems she understands my message because she instantly grabs her bows and arrows, getting ready to launch attacks.
"Tanner, Sophia, I want you guys to be behind James, and move side to side, while moving James you need to use your shield and long sword to block the attacks, as much as you can, and when he is charging at you, that's when Tanner you will move away from James and use your sword to aim for its its head, while Sophia you will be co pilot of James and tell him which way an attack is coming, while they are doing this Isabella you will just launch arrow attacks, as much as you can"
"What are you going to do?" Tanner asks
"Me? I will not let anyone of you die"
"Fine, got it" Tanner says with a smirk of a smile
'Getting protected by a weakling? Haha it doesn't sound too bad, actually weakling isn't right, his name? Liam? I will remember it' Tanner has a change in his mind about Liam.
"Alright everyone now that we know the plan! Let us execute this to perfection."
"Yeah!" Sophia and James shout
—————
A few miles away from the dungeon
Oliver is running there with 10 members from the Overtaker Guild.
"Guys move faster we need to get there" Oliver says in serious tone
"Yes guild master" everyone agrees
'Isabella, I swear I will save you, I won't let you die like your mother, I will protect you' he declares in his head
After a few minutes…
"We're here guildmaster"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go inside"
As Oliver and his guild try to enter the dungeon they are hit with the barrier
"What is this?"
"I don't know" says one of the Overtaker members
"Guildmaster look inside!"
When looking inside of the barrier, he can't believe his eyes..
Upon looking inside he sees the Goliath and his daughter fighting, while the rest of the students seemed to be knocked out…
"No… she can't win by herself"
—————
10 minutes earlier inside the dungeon…
"Okay guys keep the strategy we're winning" I shout
We have been doing the strategy of James blocking, Tanner stabbing and Isabella shooting arrows, it has been pretty affective as of now.
"James to the right" Sophia shouts
She has been pulling her worth in telling James where to dodge, and whichever way James dodges means Tanner is going to jump and slice.
"Yes.." I say covering my mouth with a smile, "Isabella shoot to the left"
"Got it"
As Tanner stabs on the right side, and Isabella arrows go on the left it has been a potent strategy to say the least.
"Roarrrr!" The Goliath starts glowing red
'Huh… what's this???' 'No way..'
"EVERYONE DODGE" I scream yelling at Tanner Sophia and James
Immediately they all run as a shockwave happens on the ground…
The B Rank Goliath is no more… the B+ Goliath has arrived.
After that shockwave happened everyone is knocked out, except for Isabella who is still there
—————
Current time…
Looking at the Goliath is is going straight for Isabella
Isabella is caught by the fear that Goliath is giving off and the pressure
"I..I can't win…" she says with quavering, "dad…help…"
"Golden Eye" I mutter afterwards my left eye turns into a golden color
This is seeing into the future? It's kind of cool okay what do i see… what I see is one Isabella dying, no that future won't happen. Not while I'm here
I see the path that Goliath will attack from, left arm stabbing motion. I need to get there
As Goliath Claws are about to hit Isabella, who dropped her bow accepting what is going to happen, her body is in complete shock from what has happened
'No I can't make it in time, I won't save her'
My screen flashes infront of me
/New Skill achieved /
Huh? A new skill?
When I see the skill name I can't help burns smile.
"Shadow steps"
I instantly explode and push Isabella out of the way,
and a second later… his hand has pierced through my stomach..
