Ascension of the Monster Queen

As they were about to leave the dungeon, Nessa and the others heard growling and looked around as the entrance in front of them collapsed, and they gasped as they pulled back, and Nessa noticed a rock was about to fall on Niva and she grabbed her, pulling her out of the way.

They left staring at the collapsed entrance, then looked at each other before sighing and Niva held onto Nessa's shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Nessa asked.

"Yeah, I am fine, thanks to you," She responded with a gentle smile.

"You are welcome, but what are we going to do now?" Nessa asked as Yonja and Ian looked around for another way out, but as they tried, parts of the place collapsed which they found very strange.

"Guys, this is no coincidence is it?" Ian asked and Yonja scoffed.

"We are being watched, I don't like this feeling and I am getting angry, what time is it?" Yonja asked.

"It's night, soon it will be midnight, seems like we lost track of the time due to being in here," Nessa responded and he exhaled deeply.

"We need to get out of here, we can't wait until morning guys," Ian said.

"He is right, I feel vulnerable here and there is no way we are going to be able to relax," Yonja added as they exchanged glances before smiling.

"All right, let's find a way out, then," Sophia said and the others nodded.

"So? What do you guys have in mind?" Nessa asked.

"We will take a look around here in the meantime, and you guys see if you can find anything else," Ian responded.

"Okay," They said.

"Think you can help us find a way out?" Nessa mumbled.

[Yes, though there seems to be a magical beast interfering with you guys, it's most likely the guardian of the treasures within this dungeon, a monstrous one at that, I sense demonic energy from it.]

"Demonic energy?" Nessa asked while walking around to find a way out. Stay updated via m-v l|-NovelFire

[Yes, it could be a normal beast infused with demonic energy to make it stronger, if that's the case, it could kill the creature due to being overpowered, it's not right to do that to a normal beast, it's against the laws of nature, but if it's an actual demonic beast, it won't care and you'll have to find a way to kill it on your own, they're usually strong.]

"This keeps getting more complicated," She said.

"Do you think we'll find a way out soon, lady Nessa?" When Isamu asked, she looked at him and smiled.

"Hopefully, you guys look around as well, you're both sharper than any of us here, whatever it is that's in here with us, it's still watching us, quite keenly, we need to be careful with what we do, do you think you guys can handle this?" She inquired as they exchanged glances.

"Yes, we can," Isamu replied, and Terou nodded, then she smiled and patted both of their heads as they rushed off to help look while remaining alert.

Yonja eventually found another way out of there, and he called on the others when he did, who stopped what they were doing and went to him, along with Ian.

"Did you find a way out?" Cortan asked as Ian's team members assisted in moving the rocks and a few other obstacles in their path.

"Yes, we found a way out, you can get the scent of the hill and fresh air coming from this way," One of Ian's team members who happened to be a tracker said and Ian nodded then Nesss sighed in relief as Ismau and Terou approached her and she smiled at them.

"Come on, both of you," She said and as they were about to jump up in her arms, her eyes widened when a rock came flying her way and Sophia jumped in front of her, slashing the rock to pieces and they looked around but saw nothing.

"Where the hell is that beast?" Ian asked as Isamu began growling and Nessa glanced at him as his body began glowing blue and the others looked at him.

"What's wrong with him?" Cortan asked as Terou roared and they jumped.

"That little guy has quite a roar," Ian said and Yonja patted him on the shoulder then sighed.

"Let's get going, but be cautious..." Yonja said as they felt the ground vibrate and their eyes widen when they sensed an ominous aura around them, and they looked at each other before looking at Nessa then Terou, and Isamu stood before them.

"What in the world is it?" Cortan inquired, and Nessa's eyes narrowed as she looked around. Suddenly, the beast appeared in front of them, and they gasped as they saw how large and intimidating it was.

"We are in for a treat, aren't we?" Niva asked.

"Yeah, I think we are, do you have any last words Yonja? I don't mind listening, you know," Ian responded and the others wanted to laugh but held back.

"We could die as of now and this is what you two are doing, are you both crazy?" Sophia asked and Yonja chuckled as the beast stared at them and they felt its energy pressing them down and Nessa stared at the beast directly into its eyes as it growled at them.

"Why is it not attacking us?" Niva asked.

"I don't know, but I am pretty sure that I am glad it's not, we need to get a moving, we need to run at our highest speed out of here, maybe it won't leave the dungeon to come after us," Cortan asked and Niva sighed as they noticed the claws on the beasts getting better as it sniffed around and Nessa's eyes narrowed.

'Why is it doing that?' Nessa wondered.

"It's almost as though its looking for something," Nessa mumbled and Ian glanced at her.

"Is it the treasures that we took?" Ian asked.

"I am not sure, but I don't think we will have a chance to run," She responded.

"It will kill us either way," Yonja added and Nessa nodded.

The roared at them and they all gasped as it rushed forward.
