Enjoy my work. I am serious, you have no other choice! Thank you for comments. I am waiting for more though.
4. No! I don’t like brooms!
I am feeling very happy right now. I will finally be able to see how strong, I mean how weak I am. There are three subjects so I will clearly see my limits. Everything seems good. However they are tense. I knew a throne is going to be useful.
-Maybe you should name yourselves? You already know who I am. – The key thing is a smile. They will open themselves, who can resist a cute child?
-Ehmm. My name is Arth, she is…
-Shut up, he is toying with us! – Green guy is boooring. Let’s try different approach.
-Oh, I guess you know you are not leaving this place. However I am surprised you are not willing to let your death bringer know your names. – Let’s make them think I am prideful, they will lower their guards, I hope so.
-Then let’s make you die from curiosity.
Fucker! I need another strategy. What can I do right now? Girl is making holes in my face right now, such a stare is dangerous. Maybe I should tease her? It will teach her not looking so much on me!
-Aren’t you feeling shameful beautiful lady? At least let me know your name, I am a little shy when I don’t know who is hitting on me. -
-Uhmm, my name is Retia and I am not hitting on you! – Haha, it worked! She is easy to tease. Now I need only one more name.
-So, Arth, Retia and Green Pants, what are you doing in my modest chamber?
Know your place NoName! Deceiving skill number 1,
-Modest? What does mean this pile of gold then? – Arth, why these accusations?
I speak nothing. I am still waiting for my answer because I am the one asking questions!
-We are here to fight you and take a treasure. – At least a girl is thinking. Green guy is still mad at me, good. Let the hate flow through you! It’s going to be an easier fight for me.
-Well then, are you ready? – I asked while getting into fighting stance.
I already know their abilities. Arth guy is a meat shield, literally. All he did, other than drinking down 2 health potions, is taking some hits. Blood was running down on his limbs back then. I can see his skin because his suit is tattered very much. Did he even prepare for this subjugation? Looks like I have to less to think about.
Rieta is quite exhausted as well. She used very much mana in two fights with my Imps. The most important thing is that there is no known potion which can restore lost mana. The only available method is rune enchantment but it works slowly and I can’t see anything with engraved rune on her. She poses almost no threat, however I am not the one to belittle someone.
The toughest person here is probably archer. His skills are about agility and strength. Imps were flying after getting hit by his arrow. He is probably using strengthening magic on himself. I am not sure though. Strength of a user doesn’t determine bows damage. I can’t see through him, I have to be aware. It’s either enhancing arrows in some way or some strange magic.
Their strategy is getting boring at this moment. Third fight and they are not changing anything? Do they even have fun doing that? Swordsman is at the front and behind him are Green Pants and Rieta. They look focused right now. Good.
Unfortunately I can’t use weight change magic. Why does it take so much mana? I have to do it with speed and strength enhancements. Although I can use 2 types at the same time it doesn’t bother me. Why? Easy, I can cast them very fast. I am going to use speed reinforcement when I will need to move and strength while attacking. This is the most basic of strategies I used when I had been an adventurer.
I can’t say I am 100% sure in winning this fight. I don’t know their full potential. All I can say for sure is that Meat Shield is going to be useless. He may have fully healed body but he is still quite exhausted.
Whom should I focus first?
Girl’s magic is strong however arrows are faster. I like to move freely. It looks like we have a winner. Man in green suit, please come and claim your reward!
How am I going to make them come to me? They are probably going to stand there and snipe me from afar. It’s so frustrating! Is it how every Guardian feels?
They are standing still, they either know about their advantage having a wall behind them or they don’t know what to do. Let’s see.
-For your information, Guardian can’t attack first. So what are you going to do?
With those words an arrow started to fly in my direction. It’s good thing that I enhanced myself beforehand. Of course it is an easy dodge but after that I got hit by water ball. It made me lose my balance. I have to be more careful, these two are not stupid.
Regaining my stance is quite easy however I have no time to rest. Next 2 projectiles are flying in my direction. Dodging them I run in the direction of their group and attack a guy with shield to make them think I am going to focus him. My attack does nothing, his stance is very good. I make few more strikes and withdraw.
I repeat it two more times.
I hope it is enough to make them think I am unable to do anything. Only arrows were sent towards me when I was in clash with front liner. It looks like archer has enough confidence to be sure he is not going to hit his teammate.
I would like to say that second round was completely different however it wasn’t. What do I mean? It’s obvious I focused Green pants this time but I didn’t expect him to dodge every hit! He is very skillful, at this pace we are going to exhaust each other but it is disadvantageous for me. I am still single. Why are you making me remind it?!
There is only one possibility for now. I have to take care of girl. I am in deep shit now but I will take at least one of them.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
I swiftly appear near her and make 2 clean hits. Bare hands are not as deadly as sword but I know how to use them proficiently. First hit is in a stomach, that makes her bow and then it is easy for me. I catch her head in both hands to not let it move, then my knee goes straight into her nose. There is possibility of killing her at spot, nose can dig deep into head and kill people. It looks like I made it. It’s easier with palm but who cares, it worked!
She fell on a floor without any life in her eyes, one less to worry. It happened fast enough to not get hit. Turning to my enemies I feel pain in my left arm. It’s an arrow, archer is not waiting to attack me. I have to quickly remove it, there is possibility of it being poisoned.
With my teeth clinched I remove arrow from an arm. Some blood dropped on the floor and the rest is on me. It’s inconvenient but I can’t enhance my restoration right now. I am too weak to make it useful, too low amount of mana. Body of a child sucks.
Arth is furious at this moment. He is dashing at me and it makes his defense nonexistent now. It is simpler to get rid of him however there is still an opponent around I have to be wary of. Slashes, I am dodging, are swift and precise. Even though he is mad he is using his skills well. Unfortunately for him I have no problem with offensive type of enemy.
I squat and rotate with my straight leg and it makes him fall on the ground. I could do this before but he would still have his defense stance, he only lacks experience not skills. With his hands on both sides of his body I make a clean hit with my palm in his face. Now he is another species, variant. Human lacking a nose, quite a looker in my opinion.
Now only archer is left. He didn’t attack me, it’s very weird. What is he planning to do, is he casting a spell or doing something I can’t think of?
-Are you willing to tell me your name now?
-As I said before you will die out of curiosity - After saying these words he appears in front of my eyes and I feel unimaginable pain in my chest. He broke my heart. It’s quite hard to do, I am not into guys.

??? POV:
-My Lord. < person wearing high quality suit. He kneels in the dark room.>
-Speak
- New Guardian has proved his value, he is going to succeed. Should I order to make this dungeon known?
-Hmm. I shall allow it. Now go and make sure this dungeon is going to be known and grow in power.
-Yes my Lord.

Samael PoV:
Ouch, my chest hurts. Maybe it will stop after some time. < After “hours” of horrible pain. > Finally! Am I supposed to feel it every time I die or is it something like losing a hymen? I hope it’s the latter however I feel very weird taking this possibility into account… Screw that, it’s true I lost my virginity as a Guardian.
What matters now is mattress. Seriously, why am I on bed? Is it some kind of present after being completely defeated? I don’t deserve it.
I am in the Core room right now and I am on a king size bed! Yeah, that’s how I should sleep even though I don’t really need it. Maybe I have to rest after resurrecting? Who may know it? I don’t speak regularly with any other Guardian except myself.
Looking around the room I can see something what shouldn’t be there. I don’t mean anything useful and comfortable like my bed. Ha, I would be happy to see new nice stuff. However…
What is a damn broom doing here? I don’t like this… Oh, there is a note as well, weird and suspicious. I didn’t know the Core can communicate with me, I don’t take Imps into account. Can they even write? < Well, they can do some things. Maybe writing is one of them? Maybe… >
Your chamber is out of shape, it has to be cleaned as fast as possible. When it is done I will give you a reward for your kills.
Wow, I didn’t know it is a goddamn motherfucker! Why am I supposed to clean it? It is his fault for being alive in first place. Doesn’t it have amazing powers as well? Resurrection is easy but cleaning is too much? Guardian has a sad life.
Wait! I can make Imps do it. Of course, there is nothing written about me doing it personally. Good.
Making a pentagram under my feet I order Imps to bring the former beautiful look back to my chamber then I teleport there. It sure has changed a little, excluding two corpses there are small craters under them. Why didn’t that guy take them or treasure back? I don’t understand him at all. Thinking about him is not going to change anything, let’s use this time to scavenge dead adventurers.
Guy has nothing more of value than sword. Armor is tattered and shield is useless for me because I like freedom of movement. Why would I want to block a hit when I can dodge it?
Girl has even less worth for me. She has earrings though but they are yet to be enchanted and it is not my specialty. Useless stuff…
Meanwhile my room got occupied by Imps. Theoretically I have only one broom but they are going to make it, I believe in them.
I didn’t expect one thing. What do I mean? They came here and made a feast. Okey… Even though it’s gross, I am going to let them clean my place every possible time. I may have no problems with killing my opponents but eating them is something else.
-Take care of blood as well.
Looking proudly at my minions I see something weird among them. Hey, what is this thing? Using Guardian’s senses to get a grasp what is going on I have to admit, there is more I have to understand than I thought.
