49 Chapter 50: Nightmare (1/2)

We walked inside and were greeted by darkness. A completely dark hall. However even inside of that darkness, there was a bright light which stood out. A light which we could see clearly. A light coming from the flames of the monster in the middle of the room.

As I was about to cast Lumine to light everything up. The flames around the hall began to light up.

We could clearly see the figure which stood in the middle of the room. A humanoid-shaped fire spirit, riding a horse. A horse that looks like it came straight from hell. With cracks on it's skin leaking out flames. Its mane, tails and hooves wreathed in flames

I called it a spirit but I didn't know what it was. Its body resembled magma or molten rocks with cracks on it similar to the horses. Even without my instincts telling me it's dangerous, I knew.

”N-nightmare... And Hell Sprit..?” Muttered Serena as she slightly trembled

Well i got to give it to whoever named them. It sure sounds terrifying.

”Serena, what do you know about them?” I asked

”Nightmare appears in clouds of roiling smoke. A creature which moves with supernatural speed, some call it hell horse or a demon horse...” Replied Ariel with a scared look on her face

I looked over at Ariel who seemed to recognise the horse

”Have you seen it before?” I asked

”No... But I've read tales on it... But that's not the worst part...” Said Serena

”The being which sits on top of the horse... It's called a Hell Spirit... It has high control over fire magic and can create weapons made of flame... A monster to fight against... It's Rank is A In both strength and skill.” Said Serena

So from the 15th floor, we're already meeting A-Rank monsters. is the dungeon really 30 floors? If so, then i can't see us completing it any time soon... Will our food even last until we can..?

”What i don't get it why there are two High-ranked monsters working together... Nightmare is a B-Rank monster, but it's faster than an A-Rank. The reason it's rank isn't higher is because it usually doesn't engage in fights and disappears... But if they were ordered to fight...” Said Serena

I'm the only one in the party who can use water, so i'm the only one here who has the biggest advantage... Then...

I took a few leaps towards the two monsters who just sat there and watched, midway there, i cast velox duplici and propelled myself straight at it.

”You idiot! Don't just charge in!” Shouted Serena from behind

They also followed behind me keeping a distance which was enough so that they wouldn't hinder me and provide support with their attacks.

Right before i reached the horse, i aimed the glacies i had formed around me right before i fought the hell hounds. I decided to keep it activated as it doesn't waste energy after you cast it, only when you cast it.

As i reached the Hell boss. I propelled 3 Glacieses at it at point-blank range as i simultaneously swung both daggers in a diagonal manner. Right before the glacies and my daggers hit it, it disappeared.
