The Rise Of A Porter Chapter 9

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Arnold yelled at EL pushing him off himself.
"The hell you mean, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with you! I just saved you from a Direwolf damnit." EL snapped back at him, brushing the dust off his armour.
"So you did it to... save me? But who opened the door then?"
"How the f*ck am I suppose to know that. I thought you did it."
"If you didn't do it then who did it?"
Before they could talk more about what had happened, they heard someone's footsteps. They simultaneously looked at the far end.
"You got to be kidding me!"

MEANWHILE OUTSIDE THE BOSS ROOM
"I told those idiots to stand by, is it too much to ask!" Ricardo and the rest of the team just reached near the gate. All they could see was that the golem Arnold had summoned, was fighting against three direwolves at once. These were the wolves having grey fur and were tough to deal with. The lifeless body of one wolf was near the Golem's feet while the three remaining wolves were ferociously attacking the Golem. Seeing no other way around them, the team members charged at the wolves.
The wolves were outnumbered and soon succumbed to the innumerable wounds. But the members weren't thinking about the wolves anymore, they were worried about the two idiots who were inside the boss room right now.
They had all the right reasons to be worried as well because the direwolves were rank B creatures, meaning the boss of the dungeon would at least be a rank A monster. Most of them were worried about EL because even if he was strong, he was still a B+ ranked warrior. They had almost no hope that Arnold would be able to survive.

Seeing this situation Ricardo ordered two of the fastest runners to go and inform the guild manager about the problem inside the dungeon as he doubted that the cameras were functioning anymore because if they were the guild should have already sent the reinforcements.
"The gates aren't opening!" the mages felt helpless.
"Let's hope they are okay inside the room." At this point, Ricardo could only hope and trust their strength.

INSIDE THE BOSS ROOM
"Do something!" EL shouted at Arnold while dodging yet another blow from the monster's scythe.
"The hell you think I'm trying to do!" Arnold was frantically using his ice abilities at the monster.
When he had used the [PROBE] skill on the 7 feet tall, black-skinned, humanoid creature. the result was something like this.

In short, fighting the [UNDEAD REAPER] head-on was like chasing after death itself. But they didn't have a choice in the matter, they were locked inside the room and the only way to open the door was to somehow defeat the [UNDEAD REAPER], a task they were failing miserably. But the rewards for defeating the monster were very rich too.

"I need time to activate and use my abilities. I CAN'T DO IT WHEN THIS UGLY IDIOT IS CHASING MY A$$!" EL shouted at the top of his lungs. "I need someone to tank for me!"
"Just hold on for some time!" Arnold already had a plan ready, he was waiting for the cooldown of his abilities to end so he could act on it. Just then the cooldown of his ability, [ELEMENTAL SUMMONING: FROST GOLEM] finished. He immediately summoned three Frost golems as he couldn't summon 4 as long as the previous all the previously summoned golems died, but that wasn't enough to tackle down the reaper, he had learnt his lesson after attacking the reaper using normal golems.
He touched the golems one after another, using his [ENHANCEMENT] ability to enhance their power.

The results of enhancement were better than Arnold had expected. But he had no time to celebrate. He immediately ordered the golems to attack and distract the reaper.
•Current Mana: 810/1470•
"The golems will distract the reaper for a while. Use whatever ability and skill you want to!"
"Got it!" EL replied sheathing his sword.

Suddenly the progress bar for the mission started increasing incredibly fast! He looked back at the towards where the reaper was. The golems were attacking the reaper in sync, they were planning and attacking their own without a single order from Arnold. The B ranked golem was leading the strike on the reaper.
"We can do this!" Arnold could feel the adrenaline rushing through his veins.

8 278The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.

What will he do? Will he go mad like almost every other Crystal sorceror? Will he get the dark sign? Who knows not even me because I made this idea in about 30 minutes.

In the center of a nuclear wasteland lay the last vestiges of humanity, the City, as its numerous inhabitants called it. To leave its protective wall was certain death. Humanity was not meant to fit within the confines of a walled city. But, with a strict caste system and the threat of being sent to the lowest level of the caste system for even the smallest crime, the City has survived. Liv was born to the highest caste, Most Honored. After her father's treason and subsequent execution, her family was cast into the prison that the lowest caste, the Dishonored, lived in. Tortured and forced to work as a slave for every bite to eat, Liv desired revenge against the King that made her life a living hell and the City that held her captive. With a forced smile and a polite bow, Liv would destroy the overpopulated last bastion of humanity. Releases weekly on Tuesdays at 12:45 Eastern US Time.
