“W-what...WHAT IS THAT MONSTER!!!”

“Oh God...please save us.”

“No, no, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die!”

“Fuck this shit! I’m out!”

In a dark and forsaken place, inside a deep underground tomb, a group of adventurers were confronting a giant being. Its figure was ridiculously huge and enormous. Standing 500 feet tall, its muscles bulging with immense strength and pressure. Rippling with every movement it makes. Its skin is greyish black. Its abdomen having a 12 pack. An impossible feat for a human, but it wasn’t human to begin with. Its fingers having long black claws coming out.

In the lower bottom of this being, its legs instead of having feet, had hooves while a long tail can be seen just behind its legs. On the back, it had enormous batlike wings just like that of a dragon. The head, similar to that of a minotaur, the head of a bull. Its horns growing out of the side of its head and going backwards.

The body was already described with muscles, but must be said again from the intensity coming from it. Just looking at it would make any weak person to get noasis and throw up from the dizzyness. However, that wasn’t the worst of it yet. The eyes of this gigantic monster, staring at these adventures, were colored crimson red, just like the color of human blood.

Everyone in the adventurer's expedition were trembling in fear. Just a couple of days ago, word has been said there was a huge underground tomb in the place called the Elysium. The land known for its lack of any settlement whether they are human, elves, dwarfs, or demi-humans because of the land being dead. Dead trees, dead plants, dead soil, cold air. Not even the best agricultors could do something about it.

These rumors spread quickly and many other races knew of this. Although they knew of it, some of them didn’t believe it and even if it was true, it doesn’t mean there would be treasures or Ancient Relics that could cause countries to go in an uproar.

However, some did believe it or they merely seek some sort of adventure.

Those who seek it were Adventurers. Adventurers are mainly people who had decided to do random tasks given by government officials who needed an extra hand in something or from the public that goes from delivery jobs to escort jobs.. It is a job usually desired by those who couldn’t get a decent job themselves and had to resort to it for making a living. Of course, the pay isn’t bad. Going by the ranking system, these adventures could get better pay with some discounts if they are high enough rank. High ranking adventures are celebrities in their own way. Since the ranking system was made a specific way, those who ranks up by doing many variety of jobs were recognized for their experience in many fields. Whether it is a simple escort job, a delivery job, or monster subjugation job, they were usually well known for going through dangerous moments.

However adventurers don’t always go by living by doing these requested jobs. They sometimes explore the lands which had yet to be explored to search for objects of value for wealth while at the same time, get their blood flowing from the excitement of going through the unknown lands as they cooperate together and fend enemies off. A easy way to bond with others and creating friendships and maybe in romance.

The Adventures expedition had tried to search for origin who had spread and notified that there was a tomb there. Afterall, it was a dead land. Who would go to such a place. Unfortunately, they didn’t find him or her. In the end, a small group of adventurers began forming a small expedition from people who were willing to go seek out this tomb.

With the help of a couple spellcasters, they could travel through this land without worrying about the harsh environment which could easily affect their health.

After coming into the tomb, the air inside wasn’t as potent as the one from outside. Letting the spellcasters chill for a while. The underground tomb was enormous. It makes a person to think how was it even built, even more when it was underground. There was a path for them to take, located beside the grey brick walls. It was a staircase descending down tomb while being connected to the walls as it swirls down like a spiral down the tomb. They believed that they could find something of some value like new magic spells or great wealth if they reached the bottom. There must at least be a reason for this place to be created.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

After some time, they reached the bottom and everyone knew they were very well deep underground and a couple of spellcasters must use a light orb spell to allow them to see in the darkness. But it wasn’t enough to lit the place around them, so the spellcaster decided to use a magic item which effect is to lit up a room, especially a large one just like this for the sake of conserving their mana. This magic item could only be used 3 times before it needs recharging. After the spellcaster did so and let it float high up in the air, what the expedition sees is a humongous demon standing on a pedestal. Its greyish black body filled with intense muscles. Its wings like the mythical dragons that once ruled the world. It gives off an intimidating pressure, but these adventurers didn’t deem it as much. It was simply a well crafted statue.

An adventure decided to check it out and placed a hand on this statue of a demon. Many of them tried to reason why would this kind of statue is located here. Many thought it must a a cult who worshiped a Evil God. When the adventure came on contact with the demon, nothing really happens. The feeling the adventure felt was cold like steel left outside overnight. However, after a few seconds, it began to feel hotter and hotter. It took a while for the adventure to retreat his hand which was slightly burnt as he didn’t ever think the statue was actually becoming hotter.

The Demon Statue opens its crimson red eyes, and now it is back to the present.

“Oh my God, how did it lead to this, fuck!”

“Forget about that! Start running!”

“You guys! Don’t forget about us and hurry up and use your multi flight spell!”

Out of fear from this gigantic demon, the spellcasters who were capable of flying activated their mass flight spell. The spell simply allows these spellcasters to give their fellow partners to fly. One by one the adventures began flying towards the entrance of the tomb. Unfortunately though, there retreat only lasted for a few seconds.

The giant demon begins to move and lifts up its arms slowly like it wants to reach out for something. The adventurers assumed the giant demon wanted to grab them and desperately tried to get up faster than the others, hoping the demon would change targets.

Then...it roared.

*ROAR!*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tomb begins to shake extremely violently. Everyone in the adventure expedition all had their eyes impossibly wide and their lower bottoms of their clothes can be seen moisturized from their piss. The wave of terror still continues. Some of them fainted as the power of the roar was too much for their eardrums and brain to handle. Because of this shock, some of them lost their focus on the spell and many started to fall. Even if the spellcasters wanted to use their Flying spell again, they will be unable to. Their bodies were all filled with absolute terror.

Soon enough, all of them fainted and fell down.

The large demon moved its giant hand and caught the 20 some adventures before they fall any lower and smash themselves into the floor.

The gigantic demon then spoke in an ancient and deep voice.

“Hmmm, well that was a nice nap...though...who are these humans? What are they even doing here?”
