Life In Another World

Chapter Three

Fejize, Sussy, Rem and Julie walked into a cave where the dragons are. Julie summoned the courage to join us. When we went deep inside we saw crystal all over the place. It was beautiful. 

"I don't see any sign of people around, are you sure your friends are here?" I asked Julie. "Yes," Julie replied, her hands on her chest she was trembling. 

"Does it mean that the dragon has power to make someone disappear," said Rem. "I doubt," I walked straight to a crystal I touched and inspected 

it, I said, "dragon can only breathe out fire, we can't fight it head on we need a plan, Julie, your magic ability is charming what does it do?"

"I can create an illusion," Julie replied. "That's perfect, her power will come in handy also with these crystals," I explained. 

I said, "We need to be calm, before fighting the dragon there's a place I would like us to g_" "Roar" we heard a huge noise it made the cave trembled, all of a sudden I was gripped by fear I was about to ask them to step outside a bit but then Sussy came over she stood at our front her back facing us, she was laughing at the site of danger.

That moment I cancelled every negative thought deep into the cave, it was dark. I could feel the aura of the dragon as it was getting close. 

He finally appeared before us. It had four legs with a feather, mixed with black and red colour it was huge.

  [ DRAGON LORD LV 25] it was Sussy who made the first move, she runs and jumped towards the dragon with her fist she punched it I calculate her speed to mimic it 

[ SUSSY IS MOVING AT SPEED OF SOUND ] but what I got [ INVALID YOUR XP IS TOO LOW TO COPY IT ]. 

It was annoying. I couldn't do anything. All I could do was watch Sussy. It was amazing. She was fighting the dragon all alone with her bare hands, the berserker type. One swing of the dragon feather creates a shock wave that actually affects and damages us, his feet can pulverise the ground. 

But Sussy kept fighting, I became lost because the cave kept on trembling. A crystal hanging above fell down right behind me, it statle me. Then I felt my left palm become warm. I looked down. It was Rem, she held my hands so tight, she focused on the fight. 

"I almost forget," thinking deeply "sigh, I got overwhelmed by the dragon power Sussy is right there fighting if I can't throw one or two punched I can use my head,"

"I need to read the fight and calculate the dragon's weak point. It was easy to kill the dragon using Suho but this dragon must have a weak point." 

"Rem, can you use your ability to predict the dragon moves?" I asked. "Yes I can, with my future sight I should be able to see two minutes into the future, it will consume a lot of MP but I will do it," Rem replied. 

I said, "Also I will need you to link up with Sussy. I want you to be her sight," I turned and looked at Julie. "don't think I have forgotten you, you will be needed soon." 

Since we are guild we can easily send messages. I told Sussy to keep on hitting the dragon at every spot. I want to see where it is vulnerable. Sussy can easily move around evading the dragon attack because Rem will tell her where next the dragon will attack. 

Sussy hit the dragon at his upper tail, the dragon took huge damage for the first time the dragon stomach touched the ground.

"Right there, Sussy come," I yelled. "We already know the weak point, we need to hit it hard by using those crystals right above, Julie will use her illusion to create a replica of us to distract the dragon, she will draw the dragon right under where we will drop the crystals," I explained. 

It was a simple task, as Julie distracted the dragon, I and Sussy climbed the walls, then at the right point we dropped the crystals on the dragon's weak point, which drains half of the dragon's health. 

[ YOU HAVE ACQUIRED 15000 COINS  ] 

"Sussy," I called her feeling excited "one more time." We got a message from Rem. She said "run" . The dragon went wild and started breathing fire non stop. It was causing a huge explosion. We fell down. I was hit with the fire and it burnt my left arm. 

Sussy And I got a huge damage. Our HP dropped to 25. If I take another hit from this dragon, it will end my life. I was scared, I don't want to die. 

"Rem run," I yelled. I was in a lot of pain. I looked up, the dragon was about to breathe out another fire. The next thing I saw was a lightning attack slice through its neck. 

The dragon head fell out from his body, "who did it? Up ahead, it was Suho." 

[ YOU HAVE ACQUIRED 30000 COINS ] 

I yelled at Suho "this isn't fair, you just appeared from nowhere and claimed 30000 coins, we all fought pretty hard too." 

"Idiot, I got the coins because I was the one who slayed the dragon," said Suho. I said, "That's because we reduce the dragon's health, we should share the coins equally." 

"Don't Fejize, you can never trust a samurai," said Sussy. I looked at Sussy even though she was tired she couldn't take her eyes off Suho. 

"Hey, why are you following us?" I asked Suho. "I am not following you, I am just surprised you are always at the place I want to be, you are always one step ahead," said Suho. 

"Why would anyone like you go through this pain, for what gain soon everything you see will be meaningless, everything you see around will be wiped out," explained Suho. 

"Why are you pushing yourself this far?" Ask Suho. 

His questions touched me. I still don't know why I am here. What's my true ambition? I am the type that loves playing games but things are becoming serious. I can feel pain but still I want to keep moving. Then I had a flashback of Sussy. 

I looked at her, truly I have developed a feeling for her. I yelled, "I promise someone I would help her fulfill her mission in this game, I will help her clear it." 

"That's why I said it was meaningless," said Suho walking. He walked past me and said " I would share with you my coins but I need it, I am walking a dangerous path. I want to kill the god of this game, the one who created it. I want to erase Magic." 

Everyone was surprised by what he had said, erase Magic. "So you see, everything you do will be meaningless," said Suho. 

I turned to ask him a question but he was gone, the atmosphere calm, at least we got 15000 coins to share, Sussy was looking tired and worn out also with Rem only Julie was clean. And when I thought everything was over. 

"Give us every coin you have, all else she dies." We heard a voice when we turned to check Julie was held captive and a sword was on her neck. 

"I will slit her throat if you do anything funny, the coins now." I replied "we don't have any, didn't you see Suho leaving, he killed the dragon, he took every coin." 

"We know, and we also know you have 15000 coins in your possession." They have been watching us "cowards." 

I said, "fine I will give it to you" I gave him the coins he let her go, Julie started laughing at us, it was a setup Julie is in their guild, we couldn't fight back because of how exhausted we are. 

It would have been nice if they quietly left, they destroyed and closed down the entrance of the cave, Sussy, Rem and I Fejize were trapped inside. We were just silent resting. 

Back at the game in the forest where everyone is fighting to clear the scenario two unauthorized guests appear, they were standing on a mountain. A magic caster and a shinobi. 

They came here for an important mission, but they decided to interfere in the game. The magic caster did not care about breaking a few rules. He didn't like the idea of the number of people who would clear this scenario. 

"We should reduce the population," he said, "for it will turn out to be difficult to control them in the future, too much will pollute the earth." 

He cast a spell reducing the 300 magic rings to 150 rings. 

Everyone got the notification, 

[ CURRENT MAGIC RING INCLUDING THE ONES ON POSSESSION OF A PLAYER IS 150] 

This triggers some uproar. I was in the cave and we got the notification too.

 "What on earth is going on out there."
