"If I want to earn more money in less time then I have to take more risks, I have no option, I have to do the job of a porter." Sarthak stands up, he moves his finger rapidly on the screen of his phone and walks out of the house, "The job of a porter is as risky as it is profitable!" Sarthak says to himself while walking on the road.
The job of a porter is such a job where the person only has to carry the luggage of other people and the porter moves with his team at a good distance or at a short distance so that the porter does not face any danger. The work of a porter is mostly done in dungeon raids so that the raid team and the support team can focus on their fight, this work does not seem risky but it is risky because many times inside the dungeon the beasts attack the porter, most of the porters are killed due to being weak and even if the raid team is weak then also the porters are killed by the beasts.
When the portals get closed a thousand years ago, a few years after that, dungeons appear in many different places, inside which there are low level beasts and those beasts are given grades, E grade beasts are considered to be the weakest beasts inside the dungeon while S grade beasts are the most powerful beasts found in the dungeon.
Sarthak reaches his destination, he stands outside an old temple, before going inside the temple, there is a wall of pillars and in the middle of that wall some pillars are missing which is the outer door of the temple, after crossing it, Sarthak stands right in front of the temple, the temple was shaped like a house and was quite wide, there was a purple aura on the door leading inside the temple, after crossing which one could go inside the dungeon.
"The dungeon, if not cleared on time, the dungeon breaks and all the beasts inside the dungeon come out of the dungeon along with the dungeon boss!" Sarthak, feeling the aura coming from inside the dungeon, says with a little surprise that this was the first time he had seen a dungeon so closely.
Sarthak takes out his phone and starts looking for his raid team near the temple among many raid teams and hunter association people, "For the first time I will meet a hunter and work with them, the job of a porter is risky but as long as I am with a strong raid team and support team, I will not have to worry about myself." Sarthak thinks, then he sees one of the hunters looking at Sarthak just outside the dungeon gate and says in a loud voice, "Hey new porter boy, we are here!"
On hearing this voice, Sarthak immediately looks at the screen of his phone, the phone screen has a picture of four people under which the powers and rank of all four are written in detail along with their names.
[ Name: Kevin, Power: Mud, Hunter Rank: C, Age: 25, Power Description: With the power of mud, the user can turn any kind of land into mud by touching it and can also turn the land back into mud. ]
Sarthak looks at the man on his phone screen after which he goes towards those four. There are four men in front of Sarthak who are wearing Beast Equipment, Kevin has two daggers which are attached to his waist, "Thank you all for making me a part of this raid, the job of a porter is also for hunters but I am not a hunter and I am not even 18 years old yet."
Sarthak says while scratching the back of his head, Kevin smiles and replies by taking out both his daggers from his waist, "You don't need to thank us, we ourselves had to clear this dungeon as quickly as possible but we were not getting any porter who could carry our luggage so that we could concentrate fully on clearing the dungeon.
We only need someone to carry our luggage, not any hunter and as far as your safety is concerned, leave that to us, we will not let any beast wander around you, all four of us are C rank hunters here and this dungeon is of D rank, which we will not have any difficulty in clearing."
Kevin said looking at his other three raid partners, after Kevin finished speaking, a partner from the same raid team comes forward from behind Kevin and says, "We should go inside the dungeon now, if we take too long then someone else will take the permit to clear this dungeon from the raid team hunter association." Kevin completely agrees with this, so without wasting any time he gives Sarthak his task which he has to do throughout the dungeon raid.
"Here is our luggage which you have to carry all the way, today we did not bring much luggage so I don't think it will be difficult for you to carry so much luggage." Kevin said looking at Sarthak and pointing at the place where the luggage and equipment of those four were kept a little distance away.
Sarthak's mouth remains open, he says to himself looking at the luggage and equipment of those four, "If we call this less then what will we call more, now I know why they were not able to find any porter!" There are four bags and two pouches in front of Sarthak which are quite big, Kevin further says, "Let us start our dungeon raid now!"
The five of them enter the dungeon from the temple's dungeon gate, this dungeon was a big and wide cave. The four hunters are walking ahead while Sarthak was ten steps away from them because he was laden with heavy luggage, he says to himself while carrying all the luggage somehow, "What have they stuffed inside these bags that they are so heavy, ha... ha... ha... ha... each bag must weigh more than ten kilos."
He then looks at the two pouches on his shoulders, "The combined weight of these two pouches would be around forty kilos. If we add the total weight of the weight I have lifted now, I must have lifted 80 kilos. The fact that I am able to walk even after lifting so much weight is quite surprising. Who would have thought that a skinny boy who is easily beaten by anyone can lift 80 kilos of weight."
Sarthak said to himself in a slightly surprised voice. Just then Kevin shouts, "Everyone take your place and get ready for the attack...!" Sarthak and Kevin's three companions become alert. Kevin was a mid-C rank hunter, due to which he senses that the beasts are moving towards them after they came to know that humans have entered their dungeon.
Just then, the sound of many wolves growling comes from the depths of the cave.
"Grrrrrr...."
Kevin and his three companions get ready, Kevin grabs his daggers from the sides while the rest of Kevin's companions take out their swords and shields, the other two are ready with their shields.
"Tankers..!" Kevin yells after which two men wearing brown armor go ahead of Kevin with their big and heavy shields and slam the shield on the ground with full force, due to which the shield gets buried an inch inside the ground, both the tankers use their power which doubles their body strength and they stand up with full strength holding their shields.
Both the tankers stand next to Kevin and his companion so that not even a single beast can go out of sight of those four. Five wolves come running from the depths of the cave, the color of those wolves is dark red, out of the five wolves, two wolves on the side attack the tanker while the other three wolves run towards the two people without shields in the middle.
Kevin immediately bends down and uses his power to touch the ground. As soon as he touches the ground, the ground turns into mud for a short distance in which all three wolves get stuck. Seeing the opportunity, the tanker on the left side removes his shield from in front of the beast, seeing which the wolf jumps to attack the tanker but at that time Kevin's partner from behind the wolf wields his sword and cuts the wolf's body into two parts from his stomach.
As soon as the tanker on the right side also removes his shield, Kevin moves forward and thrusts his dagger into the stomach of the wolf on the right side and thrusts the other dagger into the wolf's throat. The three wolves that were stuck in the mud come out and attack Kevin together. The tanker sees the wolves jumping on Kevin and shouts, "Kevin! Look behind you." Kevin's back was towards the three wolves, so Kevin could not defend himself in time, "These wolves came out of my mud faster than I thought."
Kevin said to himself, but he was not worried that the wolves were attacking him together because the tanker on the right side uses his power and stands near Kevin's back with his shield in the air. All three wolves attack the tanker's shield together, causing the tanker to move five steps back while Kevin sees an opportunity and moves aside from the tanker's path. A smile comes on Kevin's face, and he attacks the three wolves alone with both his daggers.
Seeing Kevin coming alone, the wolves attack together but Kevin throws his dagger at one wolf and hits him, to avoid which the wolf moves aside but at that time Kevin thrusts his dagger in the throat of the second wolf with his second dagger. At that very moment Kevin's other partner comes forward and stops the attack of the third wolf by putting his shield forward and retaliates with his sword, due to which he thrusts his sword in the throat of the wolf.
Sarthak was watching all this from behind, "How well Kevin and his raid team are using teamwork and strength, standing and watching them fight also helps a lot to understand the way to attack and defend." Sarthak said to himself, he had seen the hunters fighting the beast only on TV and phone but here he was seeing and understanding the attack made by each hunter with his own eyes.
On the other side, the remaining wolf growls and attacks Kevin. Kevin moves aside to avoid the attack of the wolf. Immediately after that, Kevin's companion comes in front of the wolf and swings his sword which splits the wolf's body in two parts. Kevin turns back and then calls out to Sarthak, "Boys! Come here and take out the Beast Crystal from these wolves while we go further inside the cave and clear the beast and wait for you."
Saying this, Kevin along with his companions starts going further inside the cave. Here Sarthak goes ahead and while taking out crystals from the bodies of those five wolves, he says to himself, "After clearing the dungeon, I will definitely get one or two beast crystals and if I am lucky, I can also get mana crystals in the boss room. If I get mana crystals in low grade dungeons along with high grade dungeons, then I would have a lot of money by selling the mana crystals. Even after getting my treatment done, I would have a lot of money left."
Sarthak takes out one of Kevin's daggers from the pouch and makes a big cut in the chest of a wolf, he then puts his hand inside the wolf's chest, "Beast Crystal is a kind of heart of beasts, so the Beast Crystal should be near the wolf's chest."
Sarthak then feels something like glass in his hand, he holds that glass-like thing and takes it out from the wolf's chest, seeing which Sarthak's eyes shine, "Beast Crystal! It is so clear, I can see my face clearly in it."
The Beast Crystal was black in colour and it was as clear as glass and was round, the colour and size of the Beast Crystal depends on its grade and strength. The stronger and bigger the Beast, the clearer and smaller or bigger the Beast Crystal of that Beast will be. Sarthak carefully puts that crystal in a small pouch and starts taking out the rest of the crystals and putting them in that pouch, while on the other side Kevin notices something while killing the beasts inside the cave and going deeper into the cave and says, "Did you three notice anything in this cave..?"
On this Tanker asks in a questioning manner, "No, I did not notice anything, why? Do you feel something is wrong in the dungeon..?" Hearing this Kevin tells him, "Ever since we started killing beasts in this dungeon, till now all the beasts we have found are dark red in colour, even goblins, whereas goblins are found only in E rank dungeons and they look like us humans, yet their colour was red, completely different from humans." Just then Kevin's friend says to him with a scary smile on his face.
"My brother you are thinking too much, what is the worst that can happen in a D rank dungeon, we are four C rank hunters here, and you must know what we have to do with that porter boy after killing the dungeon boss."
What will happen next? Is any big danger going to come in front of Sarthak and Kevin in the D rank dungeon? What did Kevin's friend's words mean? Is something going to happen to Sarthak in this dungeon? Stay tuned to me to know the answers to all your questions.
