Chapter 24 - Mission

Elsewhere in the world were Jun and Mary who had just arrived at the place which they were looking for. It was a large double door which arched in a pointy manner towards the top. The doors themselves had engravings which glowed of the colour red. Even without doing anything, there were many rounds of winds which spread through all directions which stemmed from the gate.

"We're here now. You know what you have to do right?" Jun asked Mary which had a nervous look on her face.

"I go in there, kill, get out," she replied even though she looked to be shaking. Seeing this, Jun placed his palm on her shoulder.

"This isn't the time for you to be scared. I don't know if you'll be able to come out of this but you don't have a choice. Remember, defeat isn't an option for you anymore," said Jun as he gave her one last push.

...

Mary looked at the dungeon as she feared what would happen to her if she went inside. However, after only a few seconds of pondering, her instincts kicked in and she turned into an ambitious warrior. She realized that if she were to die in some place, she would rather die at the hands of whatever was inside the gate rather than having to get killed by the enemy they were making preparations to face.

It was strange for her to look at just a simple door which stood in an open grassy field with nothing behind it. However, he very well knew that once she opened the doors, she would definitely find something behind it.

Fully armoured and bident in hand, Mary opened the doors of the gate with nothing but determination in her eyes. As she expected there was a platform waiting for her which led to another dimension of sorts so she would face whatever she was looking for. Jun waved one final time to say goodbye to his student as she would have to experience the hardest fight of her life. Specially seeing as she hadn't trained in the last couple years.

Once the doors behind her closed, Mary continued to walk in the darkness until with a sudden flicking sound, red light began to illuminate everything. She was surrounded by a group of red giant monsters with horns and black tails... demons.

Without asking any questions or bothering to make one final speech before she began her battle, Mary leaped in the air as he charged towards one of the demons around her with her bident point at the monster.

The monster was able to deflect the attack however, right after she landed, Mary spun her bident around and managed to make a direct hit with the long hilt of her weapon on the demon's side.

Seeing as the demon as weakened, Mary quickly spun her weapon once again and stabbed the demon in its chest effectively killing it. However, as pay back the remaining demons which she still had to deal with began to surround her. One of them quickly tried to punch her but she was able to block the attack with the side of her weapon. Now that he was in a stand still with the demon, she was completely open to any other attacks.

Seeing that she was wide open, a demon behind her interlocked its fingers and slammed both its hands into her head which sent her flying and caused her to crash into the wall of the room in which they were battling things out it.

When she took a closer look at the place, she didn't find anything special about it. It was just a dirty grey room with nothing both ancient text engraved into it.

Even though she was bleeding from her head, Mary quickly got up from the ground and leaped high in the air before throwing her bident like a spear, in turn killing another demon.

"5 to go," said Mary as she rushed to the dead body of the demon to pull out her blade from its chest.

Seeing as she was distracted, another goblin came in and tried to swing with fist at her, however, in the last second, she ducked back and bare avoided the attack. To get revenge, Mary spun her bident in circles which easily cut apart the demon which had just tried to attack her along with another demon which had been standing there aimlessly.

"3 to go," said Mary as she stabled her self and looked towards one of the demons which she had claimed as he next target. However, just before she could take. a step forward another demon came rushing in and made a direct hit on her left cheek and sent her to the ground. Seeing the opportunity, the demon continuously pummelled Mary's face until she was covered in blood.

Instead of screaming in pain and agony, Mary simply pushed the demon off her chest before getting up and staring into its eyes with her own rage filled eyes. Mary grabbed the demon with its head and lifted it in the air with just her left hand.

Seeing the other 2 remaining demons in the distance, Mary threw her bident at one of them but before they realized it, they were lined up in a single file format and in turn, they were both stabbed by the bident, effectively getting killed.

"1 to go," said Mary as she looked up as the demon which was in her hand before squeezing her fingers so hard that she broke the demon's skull which resulted in its death.

...

Mary let go of the demon which was in her hand and began to walk towards the bident which was in the chests of the two demons she'd killed at the same time.

"Mission complete," said Mary as she walked out of the dungeon with blood covering every part of her body but even so, she didn't look the least bit fazed as he walked towards Jun. However, right before she could say a word to her master not could say a word to his student, Mary collapsed from blood loss.
