* Pow *
The sound of flapping flesh echoed through Lucian's sensitive ears as his hit landed, he didn't stop there, shoving his body on the bear he leaned his weight on it in an attempting to push the bear back and he did.
The bear standing on it's hind legs staggered backwards giving Lucian enough room to reach for his blade and yank it out.
Yanking it out carried enough momentum to slash at the bear's exposed underbelly, his cold steel bit into the bear's flesh leaving a deep gash.
* Grawl *
With a pained cry it fell on its fours, holding it's snout downwards he stepped on it's nose and jumped about the bear to deliver a daunting attack to the back of it's scalp.
A bloody fountain surged though the opening, Lucian jumped off the body of the bear and continue his sprint, he encountered a group of goblins, they died before they even noticed his appearance.
' I have to increase my speed, the others might be in danger. ', a burst of speed surged though his body, his eyesight became clearer and he soon spotted his mates.
And as he suspected his team were in a tight spot, surrounding them was a pack of Red Bears, bodies of the bears were littered everywhere and around thirty of those bears remained.
Dalek sipped on a patch of blood his face paled instantly, a maw attempted to clamp down on his neck, miraculously he was about to utilize his metallic technique to create a shield.
But it just stopped the maw of the creature for a few moments, it was only a matter of time before an assault of claws would rain down on him, but before that could happen the bear stop moving and a downpour of blood hit him.
He reverted his shield to a sword and got up, he was covered in the viscera of the bear, it didn't take long for him to realize the culprit, moving as swift as the wind three more bears fell by Lucian's blade.
" IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, SHOW ME THE FULL STRENGTH OF A BEAR!!! ", the shout came from Gabriel whom had gone berserk, he was drenched in blood and currently battling six nine meter tall bears.
Lucian couldn't help him at the moment for Dalek was engaging a bear so was occupied, while three more charged at him.
A red aura erupted around his blade and his mind full focused on the bear infront of him, * RUMBLE, RUMBLE, BOOM *, ' Hang on bro am coming ' Lucian said.
He lunged forward gracefully dodging the paw of the first bear that attacked, he had already intercepted that attacked before the bear decided to attack, not without the help of his Eidetic Kinesthesia.
A technique which allowed him to study the body of a living thing to the extent of being able to predict their actions.
Dancing through the thick trucks which obstructed the flow of the attack pattern, firmly and grounded as a brute, swift and unpredictable like an assassin, powerful and explosive akin to a martial artist.
Slicing through flesh and bone he cut the arm of the first bear to attack him and quickly stabbed his blade into it's heart ending the life of the violent creature.
Stepping on the fallen body of the bear he flipped himself over the two charging bears, he slashed the back of the last bear in the line, the bodies of the creature dispersed violently due to the repellant nature of the red energy.
Lucian straightened his posture and held out his free palm, at that time the last bear had recovered from his trick, it went for him, a small whirl appeared above Lucian's palm and formed a pin sized orb of red energy.
Once the bear stood directly infront of him, the orb shot at the bear blasting it across the jungle and out of existence, everything in the Border bridge especially in the point of battle with the red bears, temporarily stopped.
Lucian gazed at his palm, he didn't expect a mere experimental thought to be so potent, he was expecting to be slapped handless by the bear but the reverse had taken place.
* Arghhh * He winced as a painful experience his his heart, not letting him recover a bear bit into his shoulder and he was flung about like a toy before getting slammed into the ground creating a deep web-like indent.
A paw came for his chest and sliced through, another paw came from the same beast, closing his eyes he expecting searing pain to hit his body, a moment passed and he felt nothing.
The head of the beast fell on him followed be the hug body, " Now we're even " the ever jovial voice of Dalek cut through his ears, he smiled picking himself out of the crater, reaching for his sword he tossed it into the scalp of a bear trying to maw down Gabriel.
He had already been through a lot and racked up the most kill count, so it was a way for Lucian to help.
Standing over the battlefield Lucian knew they had won, with only three bears remaining, the last bear left charged at Dalek whom was already engaged.
Lucian's hands up to his elbow were surrounded by a glowing blue aura, this was the second energy thus Lucian was about experimenting it's amazing abilities.
He dashed at the bear and swung his clenched fist at the bear's face, * POW *, it exploded into bits of eyeballs, blood, skull fragments and brain matter.
The bear's head was forcefully drawn to his fists, the force ruptured the poor creature's brain leaving it lifeless and dead, dropping to the ground Lucian disactivated the technique.
His friends had already ended the lives of thier own opponents and were catching their breaths, normally these were E ranked creatures but Dalek and Gabriel had killed over sixty of these bears before Lucian arrived.
Lucian himself had drained himself by using his most overpowered technique, his skin was drained and wrinkled, his visions were blurry with a major brain lightness, all this to acknowledge his curse of a blessing.
Gabriel and Dalek were getting on their feet and were doing something Lucian didn't bother to ask about, he was just concentrated on healing himself.
******
Sparks of fire flew into the air escaping the comfortingly warm flames in the cold jungle night, three figures sat around the flames on logs with coat hanging on their backs.
Sizzling meat could be heard cutting through the inhumane silence which hung on the air, the friends stared at the ground too occupied with his thoughts.
" I didn't expect to fight E ranked monsters in a supposed F ranked dungeon " Dalek said.
" Border Bridge, Dalek…, Border Bridge " Gabriel said in his defense.
" How many cores did we gather " Lucian asked.
" 230 in total, 75 E ranked, 155 F ranks " Gabriel said.
" Merely twenty gold rilacs " Dalek said, " hmmm, I remember when we raised an A rank dungeon, we walked out of the black market that day with a whopping ninety million gold rilacs ".
" Yep, I remember sending a huge sixty million gold rilacs to the church " Lucian said with a smile on his face.
" It was so long, I didn't even remember everything what I did with my ten million, but I do remember building two new orphanages " Gabriel added.
" Haha, Yeah, and you got cheated of six million silver rilacs " Dalek said.
" Yeah, I was still a kid that time and didn't know what to do with so much money, but hell I still had a lot, a gold rilac was equivalent to a thousand silver rilacs " he explained.
" Well I just officially bought myself away from my master, Ah, I also traveled to the capital and had lots of fun, that's how I became poor again, Lucian what bout you, how did you spend your's " Dalek asked.
Lucian was awfully quiet with his hand outstretched and two tiny marble sized orbs a red, the other blue, opposite natures, repellant and attractive.
He raised his hand and the orbs flew to the sky before exploding amongst the clouds, a phenomenal rain of red and blue sparks beautified the cleared starry sky by a magnitude.
" I would have my sleep now " Lucian said tiredly as he lay his head on the log succumbing to mental fatigue.
