MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny
Chapter 12 Dungeon Expedition

Ana Cross is a female student who is shunned by others because of her lame looks and lacks any talent so everything she does will end badly.

No one would have thought that such a woman would be liked by others.

In my own opinion, Ana's appearance and personality are inversely proportional because even though she looks cupid but she is a cheerful woman, she is a cheerful woman, at first I thought she was acting like that to cover up her pain from being bullied but after being together for a year I felt that it was her real personality.

Ana is not a person who is not talented in using magic but like being blocked by something, I also do not know what it is but when we ask, when we ask, she always switched the conversation so we decided to wait for Ana to tell her of her own wishes.

Today I gathered in front of the dungeon door with Zep, here were many students who had gathered while using very good equipment.

I am currently using the Lucifer family's knight armor just like Lucy requested yesterday.

Zep though was a blacksmith but he did not use any armor and only carried 2 purple-colored spears.

The journey from the Academy to the dungeon takes hours on foot but it will be faster if you use a horse carriage.

Zep and I came here on a horse-drawn carriage that we borrowed from the Lucifer family.

The reason only the two of us are here is because you know, we want to give this young couple some time alone.

After talking to Zep for a while.

"Friends!"

A girl's face appeared from the window of the carriage and waved at us.

"It looks like they've come."

Ana goes down first and is followed by Asta behind her.

"You're bad, leave us like that."

Ana immediately nagged for a moment after arriving and discussed about how important it was to go together and so on so I ignored her and looked towards Asta.

"You look happy, did something happen?"

Hearing my question Ana and Asta lowered their heads with red faces.

"Haha!! seeing such a shy young couple like this is so funny."

While the person who could not help himself began to laugh out loud while holding his stomach.

we're acting like people who don't know what the fuck you are!

"K-k-why do you know that!?"

"Ahaha Asta told us, right?"

"Ahh right, I was so happy back then so I told them."

As we talked to each other a voice sounded.

"Everyone wants to come together, I want to say something."

We all gathered and saw Angelina standing on the rock.

"As you know, today you will explore dungeon rank C which is dungeon shadow wolf, dungeon shadow wolf, as the name suggests this dungeon is filled with shadow wolves so you have to be careful because they can fuse with the darkness."

"One more thing, I'm not going in so I don't know and don't care what's going on in there, if you have a grudge against someone I think it's a good time to do it because whatever happens in there I'll report it as an accident."

*S*it looks like this expedition is more annoying than I thought.

"Then you all please come in!"

We all entered the dungeon.

If you ask who is carrying the item, the answer is none because we all have dimensional rings that can be used to store items, so we can fight freely.

When we entered everyone immediately left with their respective groups, it seemed like they were eyeing the boss.

"Ryu is it okay for us to walk around casually like this? the others have started running to find the boss."

Zep asked me in a bored tone.

"Our goal here is not to beat the boss but to survive and get out alive, enough other people beat him."

"But wouldn't it be boring if we entered a dungeon without fighting?"

"Hmm I agree, I'm so bored now running without any enemies."

"Haha you're right here there's no enemy."

I glanced back.

"Alright, let's hunt monsters too but we won't fight bosses at least for now."

"I also don't think it's a good idea hunting down the current boss."

That way we speed up our pace and after a while.

"Grrr, grrr." wolf's growl

It's just that I can't see it clearly because they are fused with the darkness.

"Asta watch the back and protect Ana, Zep you know what to do."

This wolf is quite troublesome since most of the demons do not have an affinity with the light element but there I am.

I raised my hand up.

"Fast light."

Instantly the entire room became bright and revealed several black-colored wolves.

The panicked wolf decided to attack us.

Three wolves attacked us from the front but before they touched us they crashed because of Ana's attack and Zep and I made an attack, I cut off one of the wolf heads and Zep swung his spear horizontally.

The two wolves split in two then fell to the ground.

While at the back appeared 5 wolves that attacked simultaneously.

"Asta watch out!"

It seemed like Ana was unaware of their whereabouts and frantically began to prepare magic.

But before he could cast his magic Asta pulled his bowstring without arrows.

"Wushh." the sound of the wind.

Just then one of the wolves fell to the ground with a thud!

There were no arrows but the wolf's head was hollow.

Asta pulled his bowstring several times and after that all the wolves fell to the ground.

Compacting the water to be used as an arrow plus a very high pressure, this looks like a sniper.

"Wahh great! where'd you learn that?"

Zep asked excitedly.

"Ahh I tried that during this year, I just didn't want to run out of arrows while fighting so I tried to create an arrow and magic, I just didn't want to run out of arrows, at first it was very weak but after I put pressure for the arrow to spin at high speed it became very strong, although it could not be used for very long distances because the arrow would disappear."

"You've also grown stronger."

"Thank you."

On the other hand Ana bowed her head while looking at her hand.it seemed like she was blaming herself for not getting stronger.

"What if we continue?"

I urged them to leave so as not to prolong this conversation.

"And your magic Ana was very helpful."

"I intend to destroy them but only end up throwing them away."

"Don't be so sad, we'll think of a way out later."

"You're right."

Mumbled "Looks like I have to decide right away."

We continued our journey for a while, when night fell we decided to set up a tent for a break. After eating I decided to leave.

"I'm sorry but I'd like to pee for a minute."

"Me too, Asta please protect Ana until we get back."

"Give it to me."

Zep and I left together and separated on the way.

I stopped in a large room and pulled out my sword.

"You better get out now because I want to get to bed soon."

"You're pretty sharp, son."

"Keke, so this is the favorite knight of the daughter of the Lucifer family."

"Yes, don't forget our duty, arrest or kill this man."

A group of men appeared from the shadows, probably around ten people.

*S*it looks like they're mercenaries from people who hate the Lucifer family.

"Good enough, if you want to see your parents in the afterlife better come forward and I'll send you right away."

"My mom's alive, damn boy!"

"Ohh like that? I'm sure your mother will regret giving birth to trash like you."

"Quite a boy's snitch!"

One of the assassins came forward to attack with a sword, I dodged his attack with a minimum of movement then decapitated the person. His head floated in the air followed by a burst of blood.

Before his head reached the ground I kicked him towards the man who looked like a witch.

Before that head came, someone cut it off but that's what I wanted.

His blood hit that person's face, I didn't miss this opportunity and immediately beheaded him.

"Two people have met their parents, who next?...... because no one wants to go forward then I will go first."

Pov killer

Goddamnit! we took this request because of the big reward and according to the information he was just a C-class brat, but what the hell was that!? when we fought the sword, our sword broke like butter.

**we tried to attack him using magic but after touching his sword, the magic instantly disappeared!.

*B*Not to mention his swordsmanship is very expert, although it is not as great as the main family but it is already very great.fuck it!!

"Retreat!"

We all immediately ran away but in front of the exit stood a purple-haired man.

*S*what a fuck that guy did! they said they were going to kill this guy but why would he be here and in such a fast time!?

Pov Ryutaro's

After Zep appeared we beheaded the assassins one by one slowly right in front of their own leader.

"Ryu you should see this! it's so funny this guy wet his own pants hahahaha."

Zep started laughing out loud.

"Look at the leader's face, snot it into his fucking mouth!! it's so funny.I think he'll die instantly if he's shaken from behind hahaha!!"

and now he started holding his stomach while rolling on the ground.

At least be wary of a little fucking base!

After we killed all the leaders, we started walking closer to him.

"Dear! please let me live! I'll do anything! I'm gonna leak all the information I know so please."

"I don't care and it's Lucifer's family business."

"Ehh?"

I cut off the guy's head.

Astarte Pov

A few minutes ago in the tent.

"You're taking cover behind me."

I pulled my arrow towards the shadow and a moment later someone fell down with a hole in his head.

"Tck, it doesn't look like it's going to be easy."

Someone came out of the shadow.

"You all get out."

*M*they're pretty much maybe 20 people?

"Son, hand over the girl and we'll go right away."

I looked back and saw Ana shaking violently.

"What do you want from him?"

"Oh calm down, my master wants to help the woman to remove her curse."

"What curse do you mean!?"

"Ahh you must have realized that the woman could not use magic well, right? it's a curse."

"I don't know how you got rid of the curse but Ana looks scared so I'm sure you're using a disgusting way to get rid of the curse."

"I'm sorry but if you want to take it you'll have to get past my body first."

Those people started to pull out their swords one by one.

"Kill the boy."

The entire assassin advanced simultaneously.

I shot my arrow at full speed while slowly retreating to keep my distance.

*S*didn!! this room is too small

Actually this room is quite spacious but because there are many people so my space is very limited.

Especially now that I have to protect Ana.

When I realized we were already surrounded, someone attacked from the front.

Damn it too close, I can't use my arrows!

"Whuss." the guy slammed into the back, I shot him in the head and he fell to the ground.

"Yeah!"

I immediately turned around and saw Ana being pulled by that person.

I shot an arrow and it went right through his head.

"Let's! come here!"

"Back you!"

Ana shouted, I turned around and saw someone had swung her sword at me, I raised my arrow to hold it.

My arrow was crushed and I was thrown backwards into Ana.

I hurriedly picked up another arrow but before I pulled it the man kicked it.

"This is your end, son, take the woman."

"Ouch" another man pulled Ana very roughly.

"A-I'll come with you guys but please let this guy live."

This guy stopped in the middle of a swing.

"i've planted a bomb inside me if you kill him I'll kill myself!"

"Tck, you're lucky enough, son, take the woman home."

"Thank you, Ana."

I cut off the man's hand in front and then cut off his head.

"Captain!!"

As they panicked I directly stabbed the head of the person holding Ana then pulled her.

Now I am holding a sword but not a real sword but a sword made of magic.

"Haaah haaah keep your dirty hands away from her."

Damnit damnit! using this rudimentary technique drains too much of my mana and stamina. **I**wedding finally? nay! there's still so much to do, I can't die here!

"I attack him using magic!"

Instantly three types of magic flew towards me and

"Boom!!."

I thought I was going to die but I didn't feel what and my wounds were healed, and what was this? I feel stronger.

After the dust disappeared I was surrounded by a bright blue aura that symbolized the Bezebbub family.

"Haha you got up at the right time." I praised myself.

I ran to get my arrow and started shooting. As the enemy approached I replaced it with a sword then slashed at them and retreated again to shoot arrows, occasionally Ana would help me throw the enemy with her magic.

But it didn't last long, probably because it had just undergone a resurgence so my body couldn't bear it completely, my breathing started to weigh and my chest hurt a lot.

"Haaah haah another one."

The last man attacked me but was blown away by magic.

"Ohh!!" I raised my magic sword then threw it with all my might.

The sword hit the chest of the attacker then made him fly, he died.

"Haaah shit what our main character does."

I fell down, for a moment I saw Ana crying while running towards me.
