After Lyra gathered all of the team members.

“We will go to the area that might be Monster Lord there, alert yourself and stay on my command. We will observe the situation before making decision of attacking or retreating.” said Lyra. “Ilario will lead the way and detect the monsters for us.”

They all surprised but followed Ilario without word. The situation rather serious for them.

Luna and Solaris led the way to northeast of Magnus Forest, deeper in the dense forest, Ilario followed them and led the way for the team. The 6 of us went continually in the dense forest until they found the cave.

“Be careful, we detected the power of Dark Magic Core shortly around this area.” mind communicated Luna.

“Could you guys go for checking inside?” mind communicated Ilario.

“I will check it, my power could against the darkness in the cave better.” mind communicated Luna and went inside the cave.

“The darkness power came from this cave, the spirits could detected the power shortly in this area, it could blocked our detection. The spirit will survey inside first, please wait a moment.” said Ilario.

The situation is not clear and hard to make decision, Ilario activated “Light Barrier” to cover all of team members.

“It could help to protect from surprise attack.” said Ilario after activated “Light Barrier”.

All of the team members prepared themselves and ready for fighting.

Ilario have a bad feeling of this situation, he could not explain himself, he knew that he need to prepare himself. The surrounding was too silent, he could not detected darkness energy nearby. He tried to use “Life Detection”, the power that he developed from Healing Magic Power, he felt our group’s lives energies, some wild animals faraway, while he expanding the area of Life Detection, Luna showed up.

“They are Chimeras and several kind of experiment monsters in the cave, some in prison, some walking around freely. The cave is like a maze but you could detect the darkness energies inside, anyway, I could not senses the power of Dark Magic Core.” mind communicated Luna, she appeared after checking inside the cave for a while.

Ilario reported the details to Lyra. She commanded of attacking, killed all of monsters inside the cave and keep all of evidences including the dead bodies of monsters.

“Solaris, Could you guard the cave’s entrance? I felt uneasy with something on my mind. Just in case, Monster lord showed up, please tell me immediately.” mind communicated Ilario.

The 6 of us went inside the cave, Ilario could detected many darkness energies, the cave is wide, have several ways and have another 2 basement floors, the lowest basement floor have dense of darkness energies. Ilario led the way in hurried, he felt uneasy all the time after he reach to the cave.

Ilario activated “Life Shield” for everyone, went direct to the area that have darkness energies, there are X-Pantheras, the monstrous panther, but here, they have serpent tails, it was some kind of experiment of mixing races. The 3 women elves killed all of X-Pantheras in few minutes.

Ilario led the way inside, Luna knew the way to go down the lowest basement floor, we found a group of X-Trigis, monstrous tigers, but it got experiment and have a wings. The 3 women elves killed it all easily. Ilario led the way down to the first basement floor, he stoped the team members.

“There are 3 of Basilisks on this floor, It’s better for me to killed it first, their poisonous are dangerous, at least I have ability of healing.” said Ilario and went to kill Basilisks with Luna.

Ilario activated “Resistant” and wearing a mask, the Basilisks are guarding this floor, it breathed poison after felt of invader. Ilario activated “Solis Breath” and Luna using “Light Beam”, burned them all shortly. Luna purified the poison in the air.

“It’s alright now, please come this way.” said Ilario while they are surprising of his power and following Ilario without word.

There are 9 Minotaurs, their number are more than our team. Antlia, Norma and Sagitta are fighting together, Lyra and Oliver are fighting together, Minotaurs are smart and hard to deal with.

Ilario have to use close combat because of the location and the other members, he activated “Solis” on his dagger knives and used “Teleport” to cut its head quickly, he aimed on its head because its smart and it’s body is thick, no meaning to stab in other area. Luna only backing him up in this kind of fight. Ilario “Teleport” and killed 4 of Minotaurs without getting any attack back, the Minotaurs could not see or senses of Ilario and they could not catch up his speed and “Teleport”.

On side of the 3 women elves, they were fighting the 3 of Minotaurs smoothly, they are team work and help each other backing up really well, Antlia is a main of attacking, Norma and Sagitta are supporting for both of attacking and defending. Antlia using sword with Fire Magic, aimed on cutting its heads and bodies, Norma using earth magic power to block its movement and attack, while Sagitta shooting arrows to the Minotaurs with wind magic power continually, they could killed 3 Minotaurs without getting hurt.

On side of the duo elves, Lyra is a main of attacking, Oliver is a supporting and defending. Lyra using sword with fire magic power to fight a Minotaur, she using her speed to dodge its attacked and cut its head off with high speed, while Oliver attacking and blocking with a Minotaur, it’s a tough fight when fighting with Minotaur without using strong magic power. Lyra help Oliver by shooting the head of Minotaur with wind magic, Oliver cut its head for final hit.

Ilario led them to the second basement floor, the lowest floor of this cave, Ilario felt the dense of darkness energy on this floor, there are a lot of Dark Magic Stones, like a mine. Its power are overwhelm with the darkness energy.

While they all surprising with the Dark Magic Stones, the 3 Cerberus showed up.

“Ilario destroy the Dark Magic Stones, we will kill the Cerberus” said Lyra.

Ilario activated “Lumen” and Luna used “Light Purify”, they both help to purify the Dark Magic Stones and destroyed it all.

On side of the elves, Antlia, Norma and Sagitta are in the front line, Oliver is a bait, Lyra are supporting and backing them up by shooting the arrows. — Oliver taking bait by attacking the legs of Cerberus while Antlia, Norma and Sagitta using their swords with wind magic to cut the head of Cerberus; they are taking bait, cutting the heads, dodging its attacked and shooting the arrows by switching back and forth smoothly like the perfect rhythm. They could killed all of 3 Cerberus before Ilario destroyed all of Dark Magic Stones at that area.

Ilario led the team to next area, there are Dark Magic Stones along the way, Ilario and Luna destroyed it all before went to next direction, they went deep inside until they found the big area that have a lot of prison, there are Chimeras, and the wild animals with experiment, their creatures mixed between 2-3 types of animals. There is one Lycan that has 2 heads and wings in its back, its eyes are red, it trying to break the prison when it saw us. There are many experiment monsters in number that could be compared to a small zoo.

Lyra led the team to killed the experiment monsters one by one. While we are killing the experiment monsters, a woman showed up, she wearing cloak with hood and wearing mask which covered all of her face.

“Ilario, that one, the one who have high power of Dark Magic Core.” mind communicated Luna.

Before Ilario could warn everyone, the prison were all unlocked, the experiment monsters came out and attack to our team members aggressively.

“That woman, she are a Monster Lord. Please be careful.” Ilario shouted. “I will deal with her.”

While Ilario warning the team members, a Monster Lord activated some kind of Dark Magic to make all of experiment monsters more crueler and aggressive. The elves have a full hand with the experiment monsters. Ilario thought of killing Monster Lord to calm the situation.

“Solaris, come here.” mind communicated Ilario, Solaris showed up.

“We need to kill that one.” mind communicated Ilario.

Ilario activated “Wind Dragon Wing” to boost up the speed and could fight smoothly in this chaotic fight. He flown near to a Monster Lord.

“Burn her first. I will activate barrier to cover our fight area.” mind communicated Ilario while activated “Light Barrier” to scope the area of fighting and prevent the risk of cave collapsing.

Both of Luna and Solaris using “Light Beam” to attack a Monster Lord, she blocked with “Dark Shield”. Ilario activated “Solis Breath” to attack a Monster Lord, her “Dark Shield” were cracking.

“Increase more power to burn her.” mind communicated Ilario.

We burning a Monster lord harder and continually, her “Dark Shield” broken and got our attacked directly. Her body got burned, her skin regrew itself but changing to be wrinkled skin, her mask also cracking in half and show a sutured wound on her cheek, it’s look like she changing to be an old woman after got burned.

“You.” said a Monster Lord coldly, her voice is hoarse, while activated “Dark Cursing”, shot direct to Ilario and disappeared.

Ilario could not block her cursed on time because she activated “Dark Cursing” while Ilario attacking her continually, the strong dark magic power spreading inside his body.
