DUNGEON DIVER: I become a Dark Knight in a world full of dungeons
By Orangeowl
Vol 1 Chapter 9: Great Future Adventurers (Canaria dungeon accident) END
"Retreat! NOW!"
Mr. Darin shouted, snapping us from our shock after a few seconds, what just happened? I didn't understand it, so too with all the adventurers in here, regardless, what we understood was we needed to get away from that Knight as far as possible.
For the first time, four of us felt the true fear, not only the fear of death, but also the fear of the unknown, the monster that is lurking in the darkness, like fighting a mountain, even without trying we all understand we couldn't win.
Running with all we had, we didn't even think to fight back, looking behind me, I could see Mr Darin still standing there, he was protecting the retreating adventurers and facing the dark knight up front.
"what was that thing!"
Flynn said with pain in his voice, tears flowing from his eyes while my heart beating in my chest like it was going to explode.
"Mr Darin still there! We need to do something!"
Alan tried to stop running, but I immediately pulled his shirt and dragged him along the caves.
"wha-?! Ruby?!"
"I will kill you if you stop! We need to follow orders! I believe Mr Darin has a plan!"
"tch!"
Alan bit his lips until blood dripped from them, I know Alan didn't want to leave Mr. Darin behind with some monster who can kill silver rank adventurer with one spell, however, there's nothing we can do with our power right now.
I don't know if Mr Darin has a plan or what going to happen to us but what is certain is that I need to protect my friends!
"WARCRY!"
I could hear Mr. Darin activating his skill behind us and the sounds of battle could be heard making the caves shake and tremble, rocks and crystals started to fall from the ceiling.
Running inside the quake caves, one of the big rocks fell toward Lisa.
"Lisa!"
"Bash!"
Alan hit the rock with his sword into the side of the wall, the rock shattered sending shrapnel and dust around, our frantic retreat became more chaotic, one adventurer got hit by a rock in her head has fell to the ground.
"Alan!"
"I got it!"
Alan quickly pulled her up and carried her in his back, even though things had been sailing smoothly a minute ago, now we are running away from the fight with tails between our feet, plenty of adventurers scrapped their skin on the wall, tossed around in chaos and got their bodies bruised from the rock above.
And yet, no one was left behind, the adventurers still helping each other, there was still a little bit of hope in everyone's hearts, we still had one Silver adventurer, although I couldn't hear a sound of battle behind us anymore and the caves have stopped trembling, what happens to mr Darin? That can't be..... Thinking of the worst outcome in my head we arrive at the dome we set our campsite.
"W-what happen?"
"what's going on!?"
"Did we win?"
"where Mr Darin and Mr Bell?"
Our classmates and a few adventurers who had been waiting behind were beyond surprised by our sudden appearance, plenty of the adventurers were hurt and carried, and some were crying and frightened, it was clear we were not here to bring good news.
"Alan? What happened?"
One of our classmates Polka asked with concern on her face, and it was all the same with the rest of the groups who were waiting behind, and yet, no one of us could answer anything, all the adventurers were silent trying to hide their feelings.
Trying to mutter a word, Alan's face look like he's been eating bugs in his mouth, forcing himself to talk, Alan look directly at their faces.
"This is a losing war! We need to run deeper into the dungeon!"
hearing Alan's words everyone in the camp was dismayed and devastated, the fact that Mr. Darin and Mr Bell were not with us was an undeniable fact that we were losing with nothing to hope anymore, the hopelessness spread like a wave into everyone's hearts.
"come on! We need to"
Before Alan could finish his words something had happened, all of our eyes were focused on one point, we could feel something was coming, like watching a train crash, we were unable to look away.
Inside the dome of the dungeon we gathered, the dark knight appeared out of thin air.
"Mr Darin!"
"that can't be...."
"no way...."
"......"
Alan screamed and the adventurers mumbled in disbelief, the dark knight was standing in front of us, extending his hand, what he was holding was Mr Darin limply hanging in the air, his helmet had cracked, while his armor caved in on its chest and one of his arms was bend beyond what possible.
"you bastard!!!"
"wait Alan!!"
Alan was not in his right mind trying to charge toward the dark knight with a sword in his hands, I tried to call him but Alan didn't even hear my word, his head was filled with hatred.
Seeing Alan charge toward him the dark knight was calm and unemotional, Raising mr Darin into the air he tossed it toward Alan.
"AKKHH!!"
"Alan!"
Alan tries to catch Mr Darin in the air, however, catching a full-grown man with heavy full plate armor is not something you can easily do, although crushed under the weight Alan successfully Catch Mr. Darin with his own body, Alan immediately pulls out Mr. Darin helmet from his head to checks his breath.
"H-he still alive!!"
Alan shouted in surprise and everyone widened their eyes in revelation.
"We can still save him!"
All adventurers start getting some of their courage back and running toward Alan who holding Mr. Darin in his lap, if we had silver-rank adventurer there's always hope was their way of thinking.
"G-get down! He's going to activate his skill!"
Just when I'm about to run toward Alan, Lisa suddenly calls out in desperation, diverting my gaze to the dark knight, he starts to raise one of his hands, Is he going to cast another spell?!
I need to protect Lisa and Flynn!
Standing in front of the two I was ready to use my skill called thousands spear attack, it was my strongest skill after screaming javelin, it's supposed to be used as an offensive skill, however, by activating this skill I hoped to minimize the damage to us three, this is the best I can do.
"skill cancelation!"
Pitying at my own weakness, Lisa suddenly cast her skill to the dark knight, at first I didn't understand what happened since nothing had changed, but it was the dark knight who surprised the most, for the first time the dark knight finally showed a sign of emotion behind his helmet.
Looking at his hand, the dark knight opened and closed it as if intrigued, then he looked at me, I could feel his gaze on my soul, he then changed his gaze toward Flynn before landing on Lisa, the dark knight seemed to think in his mind for a moment.
looking at Alan who holding Mr. Darin, he was surrounded by adventurers and healers who started to cast their spells trying to save Mr Darin's dimmed life force.
Then the dark knight once again raised his hand.
"Water shield!"
"magic barrier!"
"Mana shield!"
"holy wall!"
"earth wall!"
"deflect!"
One by one our classmates and adventurers activated their defense skills and we who didn't have defense skills quickly hid behind the formation.
I didn't know if beginner's level skill could stop the dark knight attack but it's better than nothing.
And yet the dark knight completely ignored us, instead he pointed his hand toward Alan and the adventurers in front of him, the adventurers who trying to protect Alan were the strongest among us and all of them were ready to die, they put their best skill and spell to protect the group.
However, The dark knight didn't activate any of his spells or skills, instead, he swung his hand horizontally toward the group with a movement faster than any of us could see, right after a shockwave of wind hitting us shattered our magic and pushed us backward.
"......"
The world was stopped for a moment in my eyes, the adventurers' upper bodies hitting the ground while their lower bodies still standing didn't know that it was already dead, the dark knight cut the adventurers like grasses with his hand without activating any skill.
We could only watch as Alan still holding Mr Darin's body sent flying scrapping against the ground from the shockwave the dark knight created.
We can't win against this monster, but it doesn't matter.
"Alan!"
I didn't care about the dark knight anymore, he could kill us anytime he wanted but I'm not going to leave my friend alone!
Running to Alan, he was covered in blood and heavily bruised from the attack, but it seemed his life was not in immediate danger.
"ruby! Mr Darin...."
Alan said while holding Mr Darin in his hand.
"Ruby!"
"damn it!"
Behind me, Lisa and Flynn were running toward us, while the adventurers and classmates once again put a barrier of skill and spell against the dark knight, even though no one had approached us for obvious reason.
Looking forward, the dark knight once again casually stood still, he didn't follow it with another attack, and he didn't even try to kill several of the healers and adventurers who somehow managed to survive his brutal massacre.
Is this monster playing with us? A feeling of frustration rose in my heart.
"Alan, we need to evacuate out of here"
I said under my heavy breaths, to save four of us is my priority right now. But Alan seems didn't think that way.
"We need to find a way to save all people from that monster"
Alan said with a serious face, every time he has a serious expression he always says something stupid, I see that hasn't changed even now, I wryly smiled in my mind.
"no, there is no way out of this, we can't win, we need to accept it"
Three of them widen their eyes hearing my words, seeing their faces I could only smile a little, looking at the dark knight in front of us, I stand on my feet.
"What are you doing ruby?!"
Alan yelled at me but I chose to ignore him, tightening my grip on my spear, my hands were shaking with the death in front of me, but I needed to be strong, there was no other way.
"Please what do you want? You didn't need to kill us all here"
I've heard that high-level monsters are capable of logical thinking and self-preservation, we need to negotiate with them.
"Stop it, Ruby!"
Alan screamed at me in pleading not to surrender, while Lisa and Flynn watched in silence, instead, I threw my spear into the ground and raised my hands above my shoulder.
"We surrender! There's no need to kill us! If you kill us here, the dungeon guild would send a subjugation army that could defeat even you! However! If you let us go they wouldn't do that!! Please spare our lives!"
"......."
The dark knight didn't react to my plead for mercy, waiting in silence, every adventurer and student inside the dome was on their edge, how would the dark knight react? Did he even understand what I was saying? Cold Sweats trickled on my face, the fear of death lodged into my heart, did I fail? Are we going to die?
"Accepted"
""""""........"""""""
Everyone was frozen with their mouth dropped in shock, the dark knight just talked, his voice was heavy and raspy as if he was talking from his stomach and its tone was inhuman, as if he forcing a word out of his throat, that was when I was sure the dark knight was not a human.
"T-then-"
Before I finished my speech, the dark knight disappeared in front of me.
"Ruby!"
Lisa cried out at the top of her lungs, turn my face around, the dark knight was standing behind me with his sword drawn, he swung his sword toward my neck in a swift motion, the only thing I could do was watch the sword closing into my skin, as if time has been slowed down around me, my memories were flashing before my eyes.
When I was a kid I had stolen a pigeon and hid it under my bed, I also burned my bicycle with my trustful firecracker, I was a bad kid so I always made a mess makes my parents always scolded me.
In middle school, I once beat up a popular girl in the back of the school because she tried to bully Lisa.
In high school, I bashed Flynn's head with a chair once so he got hospitalized for a week.
Thinking about it, it's a good memory, coming here I realized I have a pretty good life, I'm sorry Alan, Lisa, Flynn, but I have tried my best, closed my eyes, I'm ready to accept my fate.
"Shockwave!"
"BOOMM!"
Suddenly my body pushed backward with such force that I was thrown a few feet into the ground.
Didn't know what had happened, I raised my head to see Lisa standing in front of me with a sword in her hand, not far from her was the dark knight lying on the ground with dust and dirt flying in the air.
"Lisa!"
Lifting my aching body I call to her.
"Grab your spear ruby"
Lisa calmly said, her voice was calm Despite the situation, did Lisa throw the dark knight into the ground with her own power? How? Fighting such a monster should be impossible.
Ignoring my inner feelings Lisa Walk toward my spear that I had thrown on the ground, she lifted my spear in her hand and cleaned the dust on the spear before walking to me.
"Ruby please, you need to grab your spear back, we can't surrender to the evil monsters no matter how hopeless we are!"
Lisa's expression was full of pain, tears were gathered in her eyes, even when she was going to cry, she had become a different person, right now she had become stronger, stronger than me, not because of her skill or her level but because her undying spirit to face her fear.
Took my spear from Lisa's hand, I once again stood on my feet.
"thank you Lisa, you remind me how much I hate a bully"
focused my eyes toward the dark knight who was standing still watching us as if amused by our situation, I was preparing my spear to fight, I couldn't let Lisa down one more time, if this monster not going to show us mercy then we would fight until the bitter end.
"a-aaah..... It seems I have slept for too long"
The voice of a man makes me and Lisa jump on our shoulders, and makes all the adventurers and students turn their heads in a second, even the dark knight has diverted his gaze toward the sound.
"Mr Darin!"
"you still alive?!"
Alan and Flynn said in confusion, we thought Mr Darin was already dead, but it seems even us and the dark knight have underestimated the power of a silver ranker.
Standing in there was a warrior with heavy armor, even in his condition, he still looked intimidating, looking at the dark knight, Mr. Darin scanned his surroundings, laughed and then his expression filled with uncontrolled anger.
"you seem to be enjoying your time huh!!"
Mr. Darin's body was covered in red mists, although his expression was visibly filled with pain, his aura was changed, activating his skill, the berserker had woken up.
"Alan, you need to bring all people in here to get out"
Mr Darin said to Alan holding pain in his dying body.
"how about you-"
"Alan, shut your question, getting your friend out of here was your priority, that feel the Deja Vu isn't it?"
Mr. Darin said it with joking tones and a kind smile on his face, this was his farewell for the last time, there was sadness on Mr. Darin's face.
"you are a good kid Alan, I hope we can meet again someday, somewhere"
"......"
Alan couldn't reply back, This was the first time I had seen Alan crying in my life.
"rages of berserker!! rages of the death!!!"
With this, Mr Darin charged toward the dark knight and both of them were thrown away from us, Mr. Darin has made an opening for us with his own life for the very last time.
"ruby! Lisa!"
With Alan's call, four of us with all the adventurers and the students ran toward the exit with our last power.
And yet as if fate was laughing at our face, our fleeing attempt was cut short by the appearance of a new disaster.
""""""BUMOOOO!!!"""""""
The Minotaurs entered the dome, seeing this hopelessness and fear appear in our hearts for a second.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
But none of us stepped back, the Minotaurs might be scary, and yet compared to the dark knight it's just cows with athletic bodies.
"thousand spear attack!!"
"""BUUMOO?!"""
Activating my skill, my body suddenly filled with power and euphoria I never felt, thrusting my spear into the Minotaurs felt like a hot knife through butter, three Minotaurs were quickly turned into bee nests full of holes and turned into particles of light, my body gets heavier and cold sweats to bathe my body, but the spirit inside me was burning.

"""""""BUMOOOOO!!!"'"""""""
Seeing their friend killed in the blink of an eye, the Minotaurs cry out in anger.
"heavy counter!"
"water spear!"
"Slash!"
"dust to the eyes!"
"la fire!"
Alan and Flynn start their attack followed by the adventurers and our classmates who helped from behind.
"absolute slash!"
Lisa activated her skill with one swing of a sword 5 Minotaurs were turned into particles of light, smiling at us, she looked really happy without a worry in the world, we have realized for a while now that Lisa has unusual skills in her hand, but there's no other person we could trust more than her and we happily accepted this advantages.
With this, the morale starts to rise, and the desperation has backfired on the monsters, we have been pushed into the corner and have nothing to lose anymore, we are going to fight until we die and die we are fighting.
"skull cracker!"
Alan killed one of the Minotaur in front of him, however, another Minotaur quickly hurled from the side.
"sound wave!"
-----------------------------------------------
Sound Wave has leveled up to 3
-----------------------------------------------
Activating my skill to stop the Minotaur in its way, Lisa quickly beheaded the Minotaur with her sword.
It's only been 10 minutes since our death or life battle with the minotaurs and our numbers have dwindled, many of the adventurers and our classmates have turned into corpses, yet the Minotaur doesn't show any sign of decreasing, every Minotaurs we are killed would be replaced with another two, then three then four, they didn't lie when they see thousand of Minotaurs.
Even with Lisa's power and techniques, she has dominated the battle and killed more Minotaurs than any of us here, fighting the Minotaurs with all she got, I could see Lisa was nearing her limit, and it's all the same for all of us here, while all the mages has run out of mana, our time was ticking.
"Parry!"
Surrounded by Minotaurs from every direction, we keep fighting and fighting, while the dark knight hasn't shown up yet, but I doubt Mr Darin managed to win....
"it's about time"
Alan whispered, seeing our surroundings, the Minotaurs had stopped attacking us and keeping their distance, finally able to take a little bit of breath, we regrouped to confront the incoming nightmares.
Focusing our senses on our surroundings, we wait with our weapons ready, finally, the air in front of us starts to get distorted, maybe because we have seen it a few times we manage to perceive this little detail.
The dark knight once again appeared in front of us holding Mr Darin in his hand, however, this time he had to make sure Mr. Darin was dead.
The dark knight then casually tossed Mr. Darin's body onto the ground, seeing it up close I couldn't even describe my feeling, Mr Darin's corpse was bloodied and shredded yet still intact for us to see, frowned from the smell of blood, I look at the dark knight with burning hatred.
Seeing the rest of my classmates, and several of the surviving adventurers standing without showing any sign of fear.
The dark knight tilted his head in amusement, truly he was only playing with us all this time, raising one of his hands toward us to intimidate us, we stand proud.
Even when facing with certain death, no one looked away from it, we were going to fight until the end, smiled in my mind I was ready to activate my last skill.
However, the dark knight never activates his skill, instead, he quickly turns his head toward the exit, as if confused the dark knight starts to mumble.
"another one.... But..... I'm special?"
"no..... Two..... No.... Three.....so many...."
I couldn't make out what the dark knight trying to say or what it meant, but the dark knight had gained his composure back to his unemotional demeanor.
Then he focused his gaze on Lisa, and he kept gazing at her under his helmet, the dark knight seems thinking about something, but I stood in his way, hiding Lisa behind me so he couldn't stain her with his dirty gaze, if this wicked creature want to do anything toward Lisa, he better fight me in hell.
Seeing our determination, the dark knight talks with its raspy inhuman voice.
"Lucky day.......stronger.......puppet"
Saying this, the dark knight raised his hand, seeing this, we were ready to fight for one last time, But before we could move, the dark knight activated his spell.
"Sleep..."
With one word, we all lost our consciousness....
"ah! Ruby finally woke up!"
"Are you alright Ruby?!"
When I woke up, I could hear Flynn and Alan's voices close to me, gaining my senses back I tried to move my body to no avail, seeing my own hand seemed to be tied with a rope.
"w-what happen!"
Realizing what happened before I lost consciousness, I started to panic.
"Please calm down ruby"
Alan said with his hand tied, seeing around me, the remaining group was also tied on the ground while surrounded by Minotaurs from every direction.
"They seem not going to kill us right away and the dark knight has disappeared somewhere"
Is this one of the dark knight play? Is he going to torture us now? Seeing Lisa beside me, she still hasn't woken up yet.
"what happens to Lisa?!"
I ask Alan with concern in my voice, the dark knight seems to have an interest in Lisa, did he do something to her?
"Lisa seems to be fine, she just didn't wake up yet"
Let a deep breath from my mouth, I analyze my situation, surrounded by an army of Minotaurs, hundreds of them without a way to fight back should be a death sentence, but they chose to keep us alive, is this an order from the dark knight?
Losing in my thoughts, one Minotaur stepped in front of us, different from the other Minotaurs, its face was covered with a sheet of clothes and its body was decorated with bones and ornaments.
"minotaur shaman"
Alan whispered under his breath, looking at us one by one the Minotaur's gaze then landed on Lisa who hadn't woken up.
"BUHOHOHO"
As if laughing the Minotaur trying to grab Lisa from her hair.
Seeing this, my head filled with anger, don't you dare do anything to Lisa! Trying to activate my skill, but my body refused to do so, even trying to move my feet was a struggle, I was too weak.
"no! Don't do anything to her!"
Ignoring my plead, The Minotaur lifts Lisa and tries to take her away, fear and hopelessness dominate my heart.
"NO! HELP!"
I didn't know to who I asked for help, no one could save us here, tears fell from my eyes.
"get off her!"
Alan managed to get to his feet and tried to rush toward the Minotaur shaman, but the other Minotaur behind him quickly punched Alan down in his head, making him fall unconscious on the ground.
"Alan!"
"Alan!"
""""""""BUHOHOHO!""""""""
Hearing my and Flynn's hopeless screams, The Minotaurs around us laughed at our misery, then the Minotaur shaman started to drag Lisa away from us, is this how it ended?
"BUMO?"
Suddenly all the Minotaurs stopped laughing and looked toward One Direction, in there I could see a bright light illuminating the inside of the dungeon.
What is that?
Suddenly the Minotaur shaman panicked, letting Lisa go from its grip the Minotaur shaman ran toward one big Minotaur with golden armor.
That must be the leader of this group...
Ignoring the panicked shaman The Minotaur leader fixed his gaze on the sky, following its gaze I saw a woman with platinum armor and white hair flying in the air, I could feel our eyes meet for a moment.
"absolute slash!"
She activated her skill toward the Minotaurs below her, which is the same skill that Lisa used, however, the power output was completely at different levels, with one skill, tens of Minotaurs were killed and the ground was shaking.
Who's that woman?
"that an adventurer!"
Flynn yelled, A pinch of hope could be seen in his voice.
"adventurers!"
"they finally arrived!"
"are we going to get saved?!"
"Are we sure it's a human?!"
"I could see her face! And that white hair! It's holy knight clerise!"
"There are no mistakes of it! It's the Holy Knight!"
Holy knight clerise?
"BOOOOMMMM!!!"
Thinking in my mind suddenly a loud bang erupted and the Minotaurs' formation was stumbling backward as if hit by something.
After that the Minotaur shama ran toward us, I quickly dragged my body toward Lisa and Alan to protect them from the shaman, however, the Minotaur shaman only stood still wary of the unexpected development.
Seeing forward, sounds of explosions and cries of the suffering of Minotaurs filled the dungeon, from time to time the Holy Knight would fly into the sky and cast her skill before I could see her jumping away from our direction.
"holy knight clerise, what rank is she?"
I ask toward the adventurer who recognized her appearance, thinking for a second the adventurer answer my question.
"S-she was silver ranker!"
Silver ranker..... Processing the word, doubt was rising in my mind, if we couldn't win with two silver rankers, what one silver ranker could do?
Hearing her rank, many of the rest of the group have the same thinking of me, could she win against the dark knight?
"BOOOMMMMM!!!"
The sound of an explosion was coming back once again, yet this one was different, the sound of something came crashing toward us and the Minotaurs' formation once again strumbled backward, however, the sound did not stop there, from afar we could see something coming with such power behind it, it's crashing shredded all the Minotaurs in its way before sKipping into the air, seeing the blurry after image, I finally have a rough idea what it was, is that a person?
"BOOOMMM!!"
Couldn't understand what I just saw, the person kept the momentum and hit the Minotaur leader formation in a large bang of collision sending dust high into the air.
That person could die! I don't think that person was the Holy Knight since other explosions and chain of attack could be heard on the other side of Minotaur formation, then this person must be a different adventurer who comes with the Holy Knight, but why did it do a suicide attack like this?
Worried, I tried to call to make sure the person was still alive.
"A-are you alright!!"
Trying to focus my eyes to see behind the dust in the air, what I saw made everyone in the group shudder and shake in their soul.
The dark knight.
The dark knight was sitting there riding above the Minotaur leader that he smashed in a violent collision, his body was visibly hurt and one of its hands was bent, looking toward us the dark knight seemed surprised.
What is the dark knight doing? Is he attacking his own friend? What? Before I could understand the ridiculous situation, however, the dark knight was yelling at us.
"Worry not! I'm here to your rescue! Now we just need to wait for my rescue!!"
We widen our eyes hearing what the dark knight just said, rescue? What is the monster talking about? But his voice sounds different, this time it sounds clearly human, with emotions behind his voice.
"GRAAA!"
Angry, The Minotaur leader was growling beneath him, the dark knight realizing this turned his head in confusion, visibly panicked he started to cast his skill toward the Minotaur leader's head.
"HELL FIRE!"
A purple formation of magic and writing appeared from his hand and soon enough a burst of dark purple fire burst out from his hand with such velocity and power that the Minotaur lord was screaming in pain.
"BUUUUAAAA!!"
"""""""""......."""""""""
Everyone, even the Minotaurs was watching in silence, after a few seconds what was left was a puddle of hot lava on the ground, the Minotaur leader's head was nowhere to be seen.
The dark knight just killed the Minotaur lord, and then the sound of a big explosion erupted behind us, looking into the air the Holy Knight with white hair jumped toward the dark knight.
Seeing the dark knight condition, the Holy Knight quickly cast heal to him.
"wait-!"
Before I could stop her, however, she already moved toward us in one step, such speed, as expected of a silver ranker, her red eyes looking into us and her beauty hypnotizing us for a moment.
"Are you alright?"
She asked me who going to say something to her.
"y-yes!"
Making sure our lives are not in immediate danger, the holy knight turns her body to face the Minotaur shaman and its group, seeing her back, I feel calmness and relief come back into my heart.
But the relief did not last long, the dark knight was running toward us, and everyone in the group was panicked and frightened by the sight of him approaching us.
Stunned, I forgot to warn the Holy Knight, this was dangerous! But instead of attacking the Holy Knight the dark knight arrived at her side.
"How did you feel"
The Holy Knight worriedly asked, why she was so fond of the monster?
"I'm fine, nevertheless, we have succeeded"
Looking at us, The dark knight said in relief, this dark knight seemed to be human in behavior, but the appearance was clearly the dark knight who had tortured us not long ago, not aware of my inner feeling the Holy Knight kept talking to the dark knight.
"it's not over just yet"
Saying this both of them turned their gaze toward the Minotaur shaman, the remaining Minotaurs' army surrounded us and they didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"BUMAAAA!!"
The Minotaur shaman screamed in anger, and the dark knight and the Holy knight readied their weapon to fight.
"great heal!"
The Knight girl cast her magic on us, our bruises and wound was healed in seconds and the pain had gone like a lie even though the tiredness still remained on our bodies.
"Dark Knight, I need you to protect them, I will finish this at once"
Asking the dark knight to protect us, I couldn't believe what the Holy Knight just said, it's the same for the rest of the group, regardless, the dark knight accepted.
"I understand"
Pulling out his sword of its sheath, the dark knight prepared his stands to fight.
"Shockwave!"
The Holy Knight cast Her skill to push the Minotaurs around us away from her surroundings.
"barrier!"
With this skill, a clear crystal dome was built around us. With the dark knight trapped inside, being in the closed space with the dark knight makes our hearts uneasy and many are crying out of fear.
Regardless of this the Holy Knight closes her eyes, puts her sword close to her chest, the holy knight holding it with two hands as if praying.
A white and blue circle of magic formations spins around the Holy knight, 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....?"
Flynn said in disbelief. Looking up, what I saw was a giant magic circle covering this whole dome in the dungeon, the circle started to glow brighter and brighter.
"LIGHT OF JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!"
With this word, our surroundings become pure white.......
Took a deep breath, I saw the grass waving on the ground, the sun was almost rising on the horizon.
The Dark Knight and the Holy Knight have saved our lives from hopeless situations.
Seeing the dark knight in front of me, he carried Alan and Lisa under his arms, I was worried, but the Holy Knight said they were fine and just tired from the fight, however, I had not diverted my gaze from them even for a second.
"you seem happy dark knight"
"ah, I'm just imagining carrying sacks of rice"
"why...?"
"Imagine if I had this much rice I wouldn't need to worry about starving for at least two months!"
"..... I see"
Seeing the Holy Knight and Dark Knight happily chatting while walking through the green meadow, a feeling of uneasiness rose in my heart.
In the end, no one of us dares to say anything about the dark knight....
We all worried that this was one of the dark knight's tricks and if we tried to uncover it, the dark knight might choose to show his true nature, The holy knight must have tired herself to use such powerful skill, if the dark knight chose to attack her right now, no one would able to stop it from happening.
But also, we couldn't make sense if this dark knight was the same dark knight that we fought, even if the outside was the same, the inside seemed to be completely different.
"don't worry, your friends will be fine"
Realizing my gaze toward him, The dark knight said in assurance, I could imagine a smile behind his helmet.
"......"
I don't know if this was the same monster, but what I know was we needed to make sure he was not, to report this to the dungeon guild as fast as possible, to warn the world of our situation.
I didn't know if this was a trick or if the Holy Knight had been deceived, but we couldn't let such a monster walk among us.
Hiding my feelings inside my heart, we all slowly walked in the peaceful morning.
