On the outside of the dungeon…

"Uncle Oliver, what happened" Ren asks with the others following him

"there's a problem, we can't get inside of the dungeon there is a barrier that I can't break through"

"A barrier?" Shin intervenes, "how is there a barrier?"

"We haven't figured it out yet"

"Is Isabella okay?" Natasha wonders

"LOOK" Ava shouts looking inside the barrier

They all look in awe, Ren, Shin, Ava, Natasha, and the Overtaker Guild all watch as Isabella is about to die..

"No.. not my DAUGHTERRRR" Oliver screams

After he said that, watching inside the barrier, a bright white light immediately flashes to where Isabella is, and as everyone watched the scene infront of them

They all are holding their breaths as the boy they don't know the name of, gets stabbed instead of Isabella

"W..Who.. is that boy" Oliver asks shakingly

"Him? He is the weakest first year.."

—————

In the dungeon…

What happened… I remember saying shadow steps but I don't know what happened after that. Looking around 'man my head feels so dizzy'

I look around me and smile, "ahh do your okay" I say looking at Isabella who is in tears "good, good"

I look infront of me.. 'huh? What is this' I look down…

Oh.. I'm gonna die

When I see that I have been stabbed, I don't feel any pain, I can't feel much of anything. I just feel very light

The Goliath gives a loud Roar!

It wakes me back up, yeah… like I'll die here.. in this pathetic state, not a fucking chance!

I start slamming my mana into my sword and whisper "fire blade"

After saying those two words my whole body feels like it's burning, as I grab my dagger which is on fire, and my sword in my other hand

Isabella cries out '' Liam! Stop.. your going to die"

I smile at her, "not a fucking chance"

"Shadow steps"

I launch at the speed of light, instantly appearing behind the Goliath, I grab my dagger and start slicing into the Goliaths body,

It lets out a "roarrr!"

After that I get launched backwards and slammed into the wall

'Man I'm so weak..' I can't keep up with him because of the difference in stats, I get up again this time all my clothes are ripped from my left arm to my chest with scratches all over.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

This fucking hurts, but I need to continue

"Shadow steps"

I flash behind him again, this time "Golden Eye"

I see every attack he is going to do,

Goliath shoots out fire breath I instantly dodge to the right, he goes for a stab with his claws, I move to the left, he goes for a grab with both hands I instantly boost into his chest and stab him with my sword,

Goliath let's out a screech, then I run away

'No way… what am I seeing..' Isabella wonders, he is a F rank? Like hell I'm going to believe that I can't even see what is happening'

She can't help but keep her eyes glued onto the fight happening infront of her, watching in awe.

On the outside of the dungeon

"Can you see what is happening?" Natasha asks

"No the barrier is covered in blood, we can't see what's happening anymore" Shin responds

"After that white haired boy saved Isabella we don't know what is happening, for all we know they can all be dead in there" Emily from Overtaker guild exlaim

"How is the barrier braking going?" Oliver asks

"We're trying guildmaster but it isnt easy, whoever set this up was prepared for your arrival."

'My arrival… no way could it be? Demons…' that makes sense, they are the only ones who can make a barrier this strong, but the question is how?'

As he was lost in thought he heard Natasha speak

"We need to prioritize getting Isabella and the rest out, for all we know they may not even be alive anymore" Natasha in a serious tone

After a few seconds…

*rumble rumble

Everyone outside of the dungeon feels the ground shaking.

"what is happening?" Shin asks

"I don't know.." Replies Oliver worryingly "keep going on the dungeon barrier"

'Isabella I hope your alright" Oliver says in a sad voice

—————

Inside the dungeon

After doing nothing but running, using Golden Eye and shadow steps, I am tired.. I feel like I can pass out but I can't yet, the moment I do Is the moment I lost

Looking around at everyone, they are still down on the ground

'Damnit if they woke up we'd have a chance'

While I am stuck thinking of what to do next, Goliath comes charging at me, I couldn't see it happening because my eyes are barely holding on

He smashes into me and sends me flying

'Ah man how long can I last'

My body is screaming at me, everything hurts… I just want to see my family, and Nova, I hope they are all doing good.. I want to see them.

"I need to keep going…

Standing up I can't feel anywhere on my body, my arms feel numb, my left arm is broken, my stomach still has his claw marks, everywhere hurts 'ah fuck' this sucks l

it's not over yet

"Golden Eye"

"Liam! Please stop.." Isabella cries "you don't need to continue please"

I give her a look with blood coming out of my mouth and I smile

"you think I'm gonna die? Not a chance"

"Shadow steps"

I burst forward with my arm that is broken, the pain is excruciating, it feels as if it's being torn in half

"Liam Stop!" Isabella shouts! "Your going to die if you continue"

'Yeah die?'

No because, because the future that I saw, the future I have prepared! It is coming to life,

It should be about time now,

I stick my to give out my mouth trying to catch my breath

'A little more'

Just a little, a little more'

As I keep on running with shadow steps finally I see it

The cooldown ended

"Golden Eye"

Yes it's going according to plan, I can't help but laugh, this is the last stand

"Fire Blade" I put the rest of my mana into my dagger

I see it, the opening!

"Isabella! Shoot your arrow at its head on my signal"

"O-okay" she says getting a hold of herself

'Good good, she's back in the fight

Now my other cards, are getting up

Looking around Tanner, James and Sophia start standing up, I give Tanner a cold stare, it's like he can read my mind instantly he starts grabbing his sword

I yell at Sophia and James "Sophia, James on my signal I want you guys to rush Goliath!"

Staggering to their feet but looking determined they both agree "Yes!"

'Alright, let's do this' I think to myself barely able to breath.

"NOW!" As soon as I shout everyone moves according to what I foresaw

Isabella gets hit with a screen in her face

{System}

/New awakening unlocked/

She sees it and immediately smiles thinking 'this is fucking great timing' haha

She whispers the name

"Deadeye"

And right after that an arrow flies almost like it is being pulled by other power, it flies straight into the head of Goliath followed it was like it was on a piece of string.

Right after that part two of what I saw,

Tanner who shouts "fury of blades" as he starts slicing, so fast and so precise, that's his family skill that is past down from there generations. A sword skill that's makes it seem as though they have ten arms

'He isn't rank 7 for nothing…' although he's suppose to be a demon contractee I the future, I can't help but admire him right now.

His skill it only lasts for 5 seconds but that's all that's needed.

Now part three should happen'

Cause here comes James and Sophia who work well together, they both complete each other ability wise, Sophia is fast and agile while James is a sturdy protector

They begin their attack, Sophia is running and stabbing her short sword in and out of Goliath while James is Stabbing and protecting

'It's working'

Goliath is about to lose.

But then he starts glowing red,

"Everyone watch out!" Isabella shouts

I smile devilishly

Time for the finale

"Shadow steps"

I instantly rush into the action "fire blade"

I saw this coming! This is the opening! Right when he is about to let out a devastating shock wave in that split second he is vulnerable!

I grab my fire dagger and stab it into the head, and me and Tanner simultaneously, both use our swords and dagger to go for the neck!

"AhHHhHhH" we scream together

And just like that… the Goliath was defeated

And at the same time the barrier broke and everyone comes rushing in

"Isabella!" Oliver shouts

I feel myself slipping out of consciousness i look James, Tanner, Sophia and Isabella and I muster up my strength with a smile to say

"Hey… don't tell anyone… about my strength yet.."

They all grab be and scream "LIA-"

Ah, My eyes finally shut .
