Zone Dungeon

With Kyle in the front, the 8 walked in a forest with full of gigantic sized trees all around them.

After they walked for more than 8 hours straight, suddenly Skull next to Kyle pointed forward and shouted.

"Look there!"

Looking where Skull was pointing, the others saw an iron gate not far away from them. Behind that, a massive mountain with a neverending staircase could be seen going up on the mountain's side, making anyone seeing the sight feel a bit shocked.

"Ah! We finally have arrived!"

As they arrived before the gate, a man in a military suit walked before them with stern eyes.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the question, Kyle stepped forward and handed over the card he got from Scott back in the mansion.

"We came to clear the fourth ranked zone in the Dungeon."

The man after looking at the card and reading the content in it, softened his face a level and started to talk with much more respect.

"My apologies for my rudness. Please, go and do your business."

Stepping to the side, he opened the gate and let them through without a second thought.

Thanking the man's help, Kyle and the others started to walk up on the stone stairs. Looking up, Greg saw infinite number of stair-steps going up into the sky. There were so much steps, that one could feel a bit dizzy only by just looking up.

As he was thinking about how much time it will take them to reach their target, he started to see metallic doors on the side with numbers carved on the top of them.

"1...2...15...32..."

Kyle looked at the numbers on them and counted quietly. After walking for half an hour, they arrived before a metallic door with the number 41 he finally stopped.

On the side of it, there was a touch pad, indicating that those who wanted to set foot inside, first needed to have a card.

Naturally Scott gave one to them, which Kyle instantly put it in top of the touch pad.

*BEEEP!*

After putting the card on it and scanning the card, a sharp beeping sound could be heard, while metallic clanging sounded from the interior of the iron door.

Like a huge safe deposit box, numerous locks unlocked on the door and a while later it slowly opened before them, showing them the inside.

After the door fully opened, Greg looked inside and saw something he didn't see before.

In the past, when he went into a zone, the entrance was only a crack, which floated in the air gently. But this thing before his eyes was something wholly different.

Instead of a crack, a huge yellow hole was before him. The size of it reached a hundred meters if not more, while small sparks broke out of it from time to time.

Kyle looked at the massive gate before him and after confirming they were before the right zone, he turned around.

"Okay everyone, here's the plan. Ben, Skull and me will be in the front. Greg and Joe, you two will protect Rose in the middle, while David and Jake will support us from the rear. If we get into a dire situation, we will instantly come back without any hesitation. Questions?"

Seeing as no one asked anything, Kyle nodded and turned back facing the zone's entrance.

"Then let's get going."

With that, each of them took their respected position and walked through the gate one by one.

When Greg stepped inside the zone, the scenery around him changed in an instant, making his eyes widen because of shock.

"W-wooow..."

All around them nothing could be seen just green grass, while in the distance, a tree with a gigantic size could be seen.

However the 'gigantic' description of the tree would be a huge underestimation.

Only one leaf on that tree had a size of an athletic field, while there were at least a million leaves on the tree. To make things even more shocking, the side of the tree trunk couldn't even been seen even from the distance they were standing.

"Well, what can I say? That's a pretty big tree.", said Rose with awe as she looked at the tree.

As they were amazed by the side before them, suddenly the ground below their feet started to shake.

*Tremble!*

*TREMBLE!*

With each second the shaking got stronger and stronger, while in the distance a colossal figure appeared, walking slowly toward their direction.

"Get ready. We have an enemy!", shouted Kyle, while he clenched the blade on his waist.

Skull next to him took out a book, while Ben put on two gloves on his hand. Jake and David did the same behind them too, while both of them were holding a strange looking stick in their hand.

Watching as everyone was ready for battle, Greg summond his black gloves on his hand and his fairy onto his side. Joe did the same, but instead of summoning out Soul Creatures, he summond out numerous small black clouds around him.

"Remember. Skull, Ben and me will do the damage, Joe and Greg will protect Rose, while Jake and David support us."

Hearing what Kyle said, everyone nodded in agreement.

Watching as the huge giant walked closer and closer to them, everybody felt a bit nervous.

When the giant was only a hundred meters away from them, Kyle gave a signal and in an instant he slashed at the monster with his blade.

*SWISH!*

With a slash, which looked like it was able to cut even the space into two, flew toward the giant's head in the hope to cut it off.

However just as the attack was about to reach the monster, a strange scene happened.

The body of the giant turned into water. Kyle's attack cut the monster's body into two, but in less than a second later, it's watery body connected again, showing that Kyle's attack was utterly useless.

"Skull!"

Hearing his name, Skull opened the book in his hand and started to draw things into it in an instant.

Like a master artist, he drew down a replica of the giant, while writing sentences after sentences under it from time to time.

After he wrote down his last letter into the book, he looked up and shouted.

"Done!"

Kyle nodded and slashed another time.

*SWISH!*

The same attack appeared in the air flying toward the giant, however this time after reaching the monster's body, it cut off the giant's head without problem.

*BAM!*

*TREMBLE!!*

Without it's head, the giant's body fell onto the ground liflessly, making the whole place tremble insanely.

"Amazing!", thought Greg as he looked at the book in Skull's hand.

"What did you do earlier?", asked Joe with the same shocked expression, while looking at the book.

Skull hearing the question looked a bit cocky and said proudly.

"This is one of my Guardian's ability. I can seal one's power, if I know what to seal specifically. Of course this only works perfectly, if one has only one element or power. If not, then things are different."

"To put it simply, with Skull with us, we don't need to fear from these Elemental Giants. However, if more than one start to attack us, we will easily find ourselves in danger, so let's hope for the best.", said Kyle on the side, while he put his blade back to it's scabbard.

"Let's take the energy crystal from this colossus first, then let's get going."

Agreeing with Kyle, the 8 walked before the giant's corpse and started to search for the crystal.

***

Inside an enormous hall, giants with different size and shape were kneeling before a man, who was sitting proudly in a wooden throne.

What was shocking that comparison to the giants, the man's size was as an average human's, but with the only difference, that it's body was inhumanly muscular.

The man's eyes were looking at the numerous giants before him, when he suddenly started to smile evilly, making anyone seeing that smile feel a shiver run down their spine.

Hi there!

I hope you enjoyed it!

As always have a nice day!:)
