DUNGEON DIVER: I become a Dark Knight in a world full of dungeons.
By Orangeowl
Vol 1 Chapter 4: Two sides of the same coin (The Holy Knight meets The Dark Knight)
Under the dim light of the dungeon, the knight girl and I walk along the caves toward the next dome.
I still didn't know her name......
Looking at the knight girl in front of me, she had tracked the footprints and marks of the adventurers and monsters had left.
While at it, I have learned a little about skills I got from unlocking my class, It's a very crucial thing, if I want to fight the battle in front of me, I have to understand what Kind of skill I have.
And as I expected , I didn't understand a thing, what do you mean with hellfire?! Dimensional movement?! Charm!?
Charm was pretty interesting, anyway, when the battle comes, I would try my best, let's give it to my luck to do the work.
Please do your best, future me
"Dark knight I sense something ahead of us"
The knight girl had stopped, in the front was another giant dome.
"Could you tell what is it?"
"no, but I sense them wandering inside, plenty of them, I doubt it's the beginners we are looking for"
Nod my head, I ready up my sword. Follow the knight girl inside the giant dome, what I saw was horror.
Stand at 7 feet (2,1m)tall, Cow faces with two horns and reddish fur in their humanoid bodies, Minotaurs, Hundreds of them.
"......So many Minotaurs"
"this is not a normal monster stray"
"it's monster stamped"
The Knight girl widened her eyes a little, Monster stamped was when the number of monsters inside the dungeon suddenly bloomed into an uncountable number, this was more trouble than we ever thought.
I could see some of the Minotaurs have weapons and armor, those bastards stealing it from the adventurers they kill.
"NO! HELP!!"
"get off her!"
The sound of girls and men echoed through the dungeon.
There are adventurers that survive all of this?!
"Holy Light!"
The Knight girl responded fast, casting her holy magic behind us, a blinding light shone through the dungeon announced our existence, the surrounding monster desperately protected their eyes against the blinding light.
The Knight girl flying, no, she jumps above so high, as if she's flying.
"absolute slash!"
BOOOOMMMM!!!
"Khhh..!!"
A vertical slash of light sped through the air, With one strike, tens of Minotaurs turned into particles of light. The shockwave almost pushed me backward, what is this power?!
Minotaur was a monster with a minimum rank of iron, but she made it look like a bug in the ground to be crushed.
The Knight girl finally landed on the ground, landed in the middle of Minotaur's formation, the nearby Minotaurs immediately rushed to her in an attempt to beat her to death with their hands and weapons they had stolen from the adventurers.
"shockwave!"
Again, tens of Minotaurs were sent flying into the sky. I knew she was strong, yet I never imagined it being this astonishing, cold sweats running through my back, realizing she could have killed me anytime she wanted.
While the Knight girl runs havoc in the middle of the Minotaurs group, the nearby Minatours have realized my presence and running toward me. Those big bodies hurling at me like a car.
Trying to keep myself calm, I needed to use my newfound power, searching for the skill in my mind, one of the Minotaurs had come right in front of me, so close, I could smell its bad breath. Raising both of his big hands, the Minotaur tried to bash my head. Minotaurs was a level 20 monster against me who had level 15, however, I have my advantage, in this world raw stat could be beaten by skill and class job, I also have protection spells from the knight girl.
"Slash!"
"BUMO!"
I activated my skill slash, the Minotaurs hand was deeply cut, but didn't get amputated, although its bones could be seen. Holding one of its hand with its other hand, the Minotaur kneeled on the ground.
But I can't take a rest just yet, two other Minotaurs have arrived at me.
"Dimensional movement"
"BUMOU?!" "BOMUO!"
Suddenly, my vision changed, and my head felt light, I just teleported behind one of the Minotaurs, confused, the two Minotaurs looking left and right searching for me who just disappeared.
"B-BUMOU!!"
Stab my sword into the Minotaur's chest from behind, the tip of my sword comes out of the other side, the Minotaur pukes blood before disappearing into particles of light.
The other Minotaur has a sword in his hand, it's a basic sword, it's the weapon of the adventurers they killed, anger filled my heart, I activated my other skill.
"BUMOOOOO!"
Scream of pain echoed in the dungeon, the Minotaur panicked stumbling everywhere trying to put the dark fire off his body, sadly his sound of pain, buried by the sound of pain of other Minotaurs and explosions the Knight girl made, I couldn't focus on what the Knight girl doing right now, what is certain is that it's not good for the Minotaurs.
The Minotaur then fell to the ground and turned into particles of light.
"....?!"
"BUMOO!!"
The wounded Minotaur swung his hand behind me trying to catch me off guard. Jumps to the side, I evade its punch, I am much faster than him but I lack in strength.
I want to activate my other skill, but I need to keep it for later.
Right now I'm going to face this Minotaur with my sword art, 3 years ago when I first became an adventurers, I had learned how to use a sword, however, since I only fought goblins, the sword was too slow and heavy for me at the time, so I'm just using a knife until my level raised a little, yet in the end, I didn't have any money to buy one. Wryly smiling, I charged toward the Minotaur.
"BUMOA!!!"
Seeing it as an opening, the Minotaur swung his leg to kick me, no matter how much my defense was, if this kick connected it would have been really hurtful, skill fully avoided the Minotaur's kick, I managed to get inside Minotaur's defense, with sword length distance with the minotaur, I could see its eyes filled with hatred.
Don't worry, I hate you more
"BUMOUU-"
The Minotaur tried to raise his last war cry but I stabbed my sword through his mouth, my sword cracked his skull and came out of its head, this was impossible with a normal iron sword, it seemed my sword was a magic item.

-----------------------------------------------
HEHEHEHE......my level has raised once again and I had the special bonus point from my job class, isn't it the best?!
I could feel my face blushing with excitement.
"Dark Knight!"
The sound has brought me back to reality.
The Knight girl jumped backward like a canon ball away from the group of Minotaurs, before gracefully landing beside me with wind magic. Looking forward, the Minotaur number had dwindled.
The Minotaurs did not chase her, instead waiting in formation, as if they understood chasing her wouldn't benefit them.
It's truly remarkable she did it all by herself, although I could see visible weariness on her face. But....... Did Minotaur's usually this smart?
"Dark Knight, they had the remaining adventurers as hostages"
"they are much smarter than I ever imagined"
"they are not, I could see Several bigger minotaurs guarding one single Minotaur in the middle of this group"
"is that means..."
"yes this is a monster army, most likely led by Minotaur lord"
The monster army was different than a normal group of monsters, they are an army meaning they are led by much stronger monsters, sometimes even different species of monsters banded together under one leader. This kind of monster has shown a great ability to coordinate and the leader typically was smart and cunning.
"..why would they keep hostages? They wouldn't start to negotiate with us wouldn't they?"
Dungeon monsters' sole mission and purpose were to kill anyone who dared venture inside a dungeon, they wouldn't do something to oppose their own life purpose no matter how smart they were.
"no, I could see a Minotaur shaman, they must be doing something to the adventurers....some sort of ritual"
That means we had a chance to save them.
"I see...then, what should we do?"
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I had acknowledged the knight girl was much more experienced than me, this mission are dependent on her, The Knight girl thought for a bit before looking into my eyes. Her red eyes filled with determination.
"I have a plan"
The Knight girl's plan was to charge toward the formation of Minotaur straight from the front, she said we needed to make the Minotaur lord think he had a chance to win, so they didn't kill the adventurers prematurely. Then we need to get the adventurers out of here so she could go all out.
Did she haven't used her true power all this time? I guess so.
Meeting her was truly a humbling experience.
Raise my sword one more time, we are ready to go, to kill as many Minotaurs as we can, to save the surviving adventurers.
The Minotaurs seem to have been alerted by our spirit and closed their line.
"Instant movement"
With one word, the Knight girl arrives behind one of the Minotaur, the Minotaur doesn't even let out a single scream before its head falls off.
""""""BUMOOOOO!!!"""""""
Seeing their friend die, the Minotaur army gets crazy, raising their war cry at the tip of their lungs.
With this as a sign, I put my sword on its sheath and start to run toward them, running with all I have, my surroundings become blurry. The wind pushed against my armor.
Now it's time to check the strength of this armor.
"BOOOOMMM!!"
Put my hand in front of me I crashed right into the Minotaurs' formation, this sent a wave in the Minotaurs' formation, pushing them stumble backward, tens of Minotaurs exploded in violent collision, like an animal smashed by a train, I was covered in body parts before it turns to lights.
O-ouch......it still hurts...I thought I was going to die

Checking my status, it seems my HP has gone down considerably, but the pain wasn't as bad as I expected. This may maybe the effect of my transformation.
Wahhh?! My level rose again! It's 3 times in a day!! Wait, hasn't I also raised my level to 15 just a few hours ago?!
My head starts spinning from all the levels I got in one day.
Standing on my feet, I was surrounded by Minotaurs in every direction. Pulling out my sword, I waited for them to come to me, but the Minotaur's just standing there keeping their distance from me. From here I could see a different formation in the distance.
In the middle was a big Minotaur with a bulky stature, its muscle bulging from its skin with a golden yellow fur covering its body, wearing golden armor, he's holding a giant sword in his hand, the Minotaur lord guarded by several Minotaur warriors. I couldn't see the adventurers, they might keep them somewhere else.
I see, do you think you are smart? hehehe I had an idea.
"WHITE KNIGHT, CAN YOU CAST HEAL ON ME?"
Hearing my shouting, the Knight girl ran toward me, I didn't know what to call, so I just called her White Knight.
On the way, she cuts numerous Minotaurs like mowing grasses.
"Are you hurt?"
The girl asked.
"we need to keep your stamina as much as possible, can you cast heal on me, I had an idea"
"......yes"
The Knight girl seemed to confused but didn't refuse my request.
"Heal!"

Feeling the aching pain disappear from my body, my HP has recovered fully.
"please make a way for me"
I'm immediately running away from the Minotaurs' formation.
"eh?"
I could hear the confused voice of the knight girl behind me.
I didn't have any area effect skill on me, the Knight girl might have one or two but clearly she couldn't do it because the adventurers were still in there. And we can't approach the Minotaur prematurely or the hostages might get killed.
That's why!
After going a decent distance, I turn my way toward the Minotaur formation, if we can't take them straight on, we just need to catch them by surprise!
Put my 30-point status on speed, I am speeding like a bullet. With 87 points on speed should be enough.
Running toward the Minotaurs' lines, I saw the Knight girl still fighting in the middle.
Our eyes met with each other.
Seeing me speeding toward her, I could see a word idiot written in her eyes, yes I know, it is what it is.
"absolute slash!"
Realizing what I want to do, the Knight girl makes a way for me with her skill, right after the Knight girl Immediately moves out of the way.
Put my hand in front of my head, retracted my feet and turned into a ball.
"BOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Smashed Into the Minotaurs, I could feel my body skipping like a rock, trying to look forward, I tried to control my course. Crashing violently toward the unlucky minotaurs Who are late to move, I can see the Minotaur lord formation.

"HAAIIYOO!"
"BOOMMM!"
I crashed right into the formation.....
A-ahh.....my body hurts like hell, It's difficult to breathe. No, I might have broken my ribs, that's why it's difficult to breathe.

That's close...the pain should make me couldn't move, however, thanks to my transformation, I could hold it in.
"a-ahh....?"
Sitting up from the ground, there is a lot of dust from my crash, My left hand is bent in an impossible direction, I guess why not.
"GRRR!!"
I feel growling noises below me, looking down I see an ugly face looking at me like I killed its parents.
The Minotaur lord. I ride the thing....
Oh my...........
Trying to get up on my feet, I couldn't move, no, not again...
"A-are you alright!!"
A girl calling me from my left, the voice, however, sounded different from the knight girl, turn my head toward it, not too far away, behind a weird-looking Minotaur with bones and decoration in its body, I saw several adventurers that we are looking for. They are tied, bruised, and beyond scared but live otherwise.
They are alive!, although this is maybe not good.
"Worry not! I'm here to your rescue! Now we just need to wait for my rescue!!"
"GRAAA!"
Right after that, the Minotaur lord under me started to move, looking down the Minotaur lord seemed to want to eat me whole, but he could not get away without damage, the fact the Minotaur lord didn't just throw me away like a twig is a testament of that.
I need to do something, fast, while the Minotaur warriors and the shaman still confused, most importantly I have to do something with this guy first. Searching my skills, I found one that seems suitable for this circumstance. Extending my hand to Minotaur's face I activated my skill.
"HELL FIRE!"
Activate hell fire, my body suddenly feels very heavy, my mind feels like floating and cold sweat starts to bathe me, what is this overwhelming exhaustion. I feel I could lose my consciousness anytime
Unfortunately, the skill didn't activate right away, instead, a purple circle formation of symbols and unknown writing appeared from my hand.
This is not a normal skill.....
The Minotaur lord's face changed expressions into rages, he is suddenly trying to get up quickly, this is bad!
"PHAAAAAAAHHHHHSSSSSHHHH!!!"
A burst of dark purple fire blurt out of the magic formation straight to the Minotaur lord's face.
"BUUUUAAAA!!"
The Minotaur lord's scream of pain and suffering echoed in the dungeon.
""""""""...........""""""""
The Minotaurs and adventurers watched in silence, what was left was a red hole of lava on the ground, the Minotaur lord's head was completely gone, reduced to atoms.

Is this really Lv1 skill?, my level increased two levels only by killing the Minotaur lord. The Minotaur lord Disappears into particles of light leaving a giant sword, its armor and several magic items.
"BOOOOMMMM!"
"Dark Knight!"
With an explosion behind her, The Knight girl finally arrived at my side.
"Heal!"
Seeing my condition, the Knight girl frowns a little before healing me. Feeling the pain go away, my left-hand starts to move to its supposed position. I Slowly stand up on my feet, are my feet broken too?
Stand on my feet, I ran to the knight girl who had taken the position to protect the adventurers that been sobbing for a while. The Minotaurs seem stunned because their leader just died in front of them.
"How did you feel"
"I'm fine, nevertheless, we have succeeded"
"it's not over just yet"
Following the knight girl gaze was the Minotaur shaman holding its staff, and various Minotaur warriors who finally snapped from their confusion.
"BUMAAAA!!"
The Minotaur shaman screaming in anger, I could see its eyes filled with rage, with this scream all the remaining Minotaurs surrounded us from every direction, we could get out of this, but how were we going to protect the adventurers while fighting this much minotaurs, even with our effort to cut their number, there is still under a hundred remaining Minotaurs including the warriors and the shaman.
"great heal!"
The Knight girl cast her skill to the adventurers to heal their bruises and wounds.
"Dark Knight, I need you to protect them, I will finish this at once"
"I understand"
Pulling out my sword of its sheath, I prepared my stands to fight.
"Shockwave!"
The Knight Girl cast a shockwave and pushed the Minotaur warriors and shaman back to clear her surroundings, wait a minute....finish it at once?
"barrier!"
The knight girl cast a barrier, a clear crystal dome was built around us. With the knight girl remains outside.
Closing her eyes, The Knight girl put her sword close to her chest, holding it with two hands as if praying.
I have a bad feeling about this......
A white and blue circles of magic formations spins around her, her body starts to glow with holy light, and a white aura appears covering her with grace and power. The magic formation around her spinning faster and faster.
"W-what is that....?"
One of the adventurers looks up in disbelief. Looking up, I saw a giant magic circle covering this whole giant dome in the dungeon, the circle started to glow brighter and brighter.
Oh no......
"LIGHT OF JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!"
With this word, our surroundings become pure white.......
