"We're here, Catacombs of the Mourning Warrior," Gwendoline continues "They say this is where a Hero's lover died while protecting him. So stricken with grief he took his own life right here in this dungeon but his soul never found peace, now forced to watch over the dungeon as his lover's body decays in front of him making the Hero go crazy with guilt and sadness. Of course that's just a legend, all dungeons have different legends about them. Just so you know I'm not here to help you twerps. I'm here to win a bet!" She smiled as she tightened her gloves.
Y'all ready good thing we ditched those princess dresses for more practical wear. I feel like myself again" Constantia said
"Tell me about it, feels good to be wearing pants for once" Solomon agreed
"And shorts," Kemo added.
"What are you guys gossiping about?" Gwendoline looked at us skeptically.
"Oh nothing" I said.
As we stood right outside the dungeon entrance, I spoke. "Ready to lose the bet"
"Pffft yeah as if I'm going to lose to a bunch of toddlers" she smirked.
Then let's begin
-----
A few hours later
"This is unbelievable, how are you four so good at killing monsters, this is your first dungeon!"
"Killing just comes naturally to us" I wave her off.
"Hey remember why we're really here guys, I need an army of undead, let me get the final strike" Solomon said frustratingly as she let out a surge of lightning based attacks, killing all the enemies before her.
Final strike my ass, I'm having too much fun!" Kemo shouts
"Geez you really turned into a battlesexual maniac bitch you know that, girl?!" Constantia says as she twirls around a skeleton and throws a gust of wind at it, destroying it.
We all gather into the middle as we take a break and talley up..
"So how many does that make, forty?" I said
"I lost count," Kemo uttered.
"Who gives a shit anyways look at my sister's face" Constantia smiled.
"You were saying? How can little twerps like us possibly fight? You wouldn't believe it even if I told you, we have years of experience, way beyond you" I said
Gwendoline looked flabbergasted, her face turning a shade of red. She then laughed. "heeheheh...you guys got me, you were all so amazing! How did you all possibly learn to fight like that! And you too little sister, I didn't know you and your friends were so amazing. I take back everything I said about you guys...you're alright with me. I'm going to tell all my friends what a cool little sis I have.

"Easy easy there with the ass kissing one-eighty flip. We still have a bet, you bailing out now?" I asked
"Honestly," she scratches her head, "yeah I think I am, after witnessing how you all fight first hand, there's no way I could catch up to your already giant headcount. So yeah I concede defeat, I'll do whatever you want me to do for an entire week"
"Actually we have a better proposition" Constantia smiled and looked at Tsubasa for approval, she shook her head in affirmation, "why don't you join our gang, The Legion?"
"The Legion? What's that"
I step in "The Legion is my gang, we're just a bunch of friends and family who get up to some mischief and killing sprees. However, we have bigger more grander goals in mind"
Gwendoline kneels down to be eye level with me and took me seriously for once, "What kind of goals"
"Gwendoline," I touch her cute face, "We're going to liberate the world from human tyranny. I Tsubasa will become the next Demon Lord"
She looks at me dead serious and looks at her sister, she shakes her head in affirmation. She then looks at the rest of my friends who give the same answer "You're really serious...heh the next Demon Lord. I could just be talking to the next Demon Lord" She smiled and got up.
"That's the plan" I smile
"Well then, I'm all in. So what's the plan, oh mighty Demon Lord wannabe?"
"We're going to clear this dungeon and get Solomon a rare boss monster to necromance." I said
"I can hardly wait, I'm beaming with anticipation!" Solomon deadpan as she fist pumps the air.
"We're seriously going to attack the boss of this place?" Gwendoline asked.
"Yup, if that's what the boss says then that's what we'll do." Constantia smiled at her sister.
We made our way deeper into the dungeon, killing more monsters along the way. We eventually came to a fork in the road.
"Left or right?" Kemo asked
"Right, the boss will be at the end of the dungeon" I said
"I don't think so, the other way seems to be the path of least resistance, it's probably the safer route." Gwendoline suggested.
"I'm with the boss, we're going to the right," Solomon said.
"It's settled then" I smiled as we headed to the right.
"Are you sure about this, guys?" Gwendoline asked
"Don't worry, we'll be fine" Constantia assured
"I have faith in you, boss" Kemo said
"Same" Solomon uttered
"Just follow our lead, Gwendoline" I said
As we continued, the dungeon began to grow darker and darker.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Gwendoline said.
"You're probably right, I don't see any monsters here" I said
"Me neither, and the torches are starting to go out" Solomon said
"I hope we don't get lost down here" Kemo said
"I'm sure we'll be fine, it's not like we're in an isekai world that's filled with traps and puzzles. Hahaha" Constantia laughed.
"You're right, we'll be fine" I say.
And then the floor collapsed beneath us.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH" We all screamed as we fell.
"HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU CONSTANTIA!!! Kemo yelled.
------
"Ugh...guys...everyone okay?" I asked
"I'm alive, I'm okay" Constantia said
"Me too" Gwendoline said
"Me three, this is all your fault Constantia, you just had to jinx us" Kemo said and slapped the back of Constantia's feathery head.
"I floated down" Solomon said
"Hey don't slap my little sister" Gwendoline scowled
"Shut up, or I'll slap you too bitch!" They both started growling at each other.
"Good, I'm glad everyone is safe and none worse for wear. Let's get out of here" I said.
"Um...where is here exactly?" Solomon asked. Right on queue a bunch of torches lit up revealing a long corridor leading to a big door.
"Seems like that trap was actually a hidden passage to the boss floor" I said as my eyes wander around the hall.
"Sorry," Kemo said to the two sisters. Constantia bonks her on the head.
We all head towards the big door prepared to face the boss and put his soul to work...
