Cloaked man: so this is the place were the 3 rookie track lead to and the place were they died?

Ginger woman: yeah there life stones broke almost at the same time in the adventurer center and we found out that the two slave they had taken with them, left the city some day after. We have to found the corpse if they are still here that is.

Daisy woman: Bartus, for entering an unknown cave, death is a well deserved fate, this place may have powerful monster, it's not for nothing that every discovery as to be transmitted to the adventurer union.we are losing our time for idiots.

Bartus: they probably hoped to make this cave there private hunting zone but encountered an enemy too strong for them, but three ancient mercenary even with less than 5 years in the union don't die at the same time even in a surprise attack. so something happened and that is why the union sent us to find out how they died Belletrix.

Ginger women: ssshhhuuuu I sense something, its near, and its big.

The cloaked men named Bartus take a stance and the armored man who had taken two axes in hand, and the daisy haired women called Belletrix got in the front the ginger in the middle lowered her stance her hand on the short sword and looked deep in the dark tunnel, they were only 8 or 9 meters away from Sirius and mist. 

Bartus: still sensing it Nily ?

Nily: yes, its not moving but my scout art tell me there is something alive nearby, even if its faint.

Bellatrix: what do we do, the tunnel only have one way until now so its either advancing or going back. The armored man put back his left axe on his side and a shield of light formed on his arms covering all its front in a half circle, he started to take step forward.

Nily: Marco will take the risk of advancing first but we stay on guard to help him; bartus ready your thunder rod and belletrix stay ready to rush in.

Mist:damn, compared to the previous one they are good.

Sirius:yep, we can't hope to take the first strike with them but at the same time I don't really want to kill them actually, they just doing there job.

Mist: maybe but if they leave the cavern will not be a secret anymore.

Sirius: they were able to find out about it anyway so its impossible to hide it any longer. Scarring them may be more effective to make the place banned for exploration.

Mist: or they will make a hunting party even stronger to get ride of us....just like in our past life.

Sirius:we will have to go with it until i am strong enough to deal with any threat.

Mist: fine by me but at least wound them or they will never feel the need of fleeing aim for the arms and leave the legs so they can run.

Sirius: ahahah did you forgot what we look like?

Mist: what do you mean? Sirius: listen and learn.

Sirius shared is plan to mist, as they talked Marco was only four meters away when he saw the rock move slowly really slowly the rock grew and grew as Sirius extended his body and spread his scythe standing in the middle of the tunnel little by little Sirius rose as a demon of hell of more than four meters tall without counting the long rocky tail behind him with spine like tentacle moving around him, slowly a long mouth curved into a smile with sharp teeth and a substance falling from it on the ground and melting it purple smoke was also coming out from between the teeth the two arms under the one with the scythe were crossing there finger. The four eyes were like black soft stone with no expression, like trying to gauge them. The four of them looked at this hell spawn in front of them, there mind was blank, this monster was less than 10 meters from them all along and yet didn't take the advantage, for an experienced union adventurer this mean only one thing, he didn't fear them at all they were not worth a surprise attack.

Nily: everyone stay calm, we regroup slowly, and we start retreating Marco move really slowly and don't make abrupt movement, Bellatrix: why he is in front of us he can see us, we should move fast.

Nily: he didn't attack before Marco get near him, maybe the cave further his is territory and he stand up once we got to clause.

Marco started walking back but kept his shield up and his axe held tightly. After some time they were regrouped together, everyone was standing still.

Bastus:he didn't move at all, is he really dangerous, maybe he only looks strong, but in fact only count on his appearance.

Marco: no my crisis perception is screaming since he stands up.If we got near him he will attack.

Just after he said that Sirius advanced a little, as soon they saw him advance they took a step back after some time Sirius advanced again and they took a step back again.

bastus: i think he wants us to leave.what do we do nily ?

Nily: we must gather Intel, we will evaluate its average strength and fall back if needed.

Mist: god just leave already you are already in range of our attack idiot !

Sirius:i have an idea, system can we create vocals cord to scream?

SYSTEM: sound can be created by absorbing air and expulse it in a different way.

sirius: really, so easily? Does it need css?

SYSTEM: no, the air quantities taken his more than the air released and cover the operation cost.

Sirius: then release a high pitched sound at the limit of the human ear's tolerance.

After some time Sirius raised is head and a long high pitched scream resounded in the tunnel, and the four of them fell on their knees in pain after almost 3 minute of scream Sirius stopped and the adventurer started to stand up blood falling from there ear, the one named nily made some hand signal and the four retreated and disappeared on the tunnel corner.

Mist:well, that was easy, good idea the scream.

Sirius:they had a good complicity so they were more confident but unable to communicate rapidly there teamwork his perturbed hence there confidence was shattered, with there eardrums ahahah.

Mist: now lets go back and explore the other tunnel, and marks this one as the exit too. And they go in the adventurers group's opposite direction.
