nRight after clearing the dungeon

n------------------

n

"Wait- What...?

" Asked John realising what had just happened

nThey were no longer in the dungeon, or rather, they were now standing on sand. Their whole group was there, Master Sylvia, Ariel and Serena.

nThe sound of the waves scraping away at the shore, along with the nice and fresh breeze. There was no mistaking it, they were outside

nThe Night Sky could be seen showing them that it was night time

nSurprised, John quickly looked around hoping that no one had noticed their sudden appearance or found it strange. The last thing he wanted was for people to know that he was the one that cleared it.

nThankfully, the beach was sort of empty and no one ended up noticing them.

nBut just as they let out a sigh of relief, a loud sound resounded through the beach, along with an immense amount of wind pressure and a beam which was sent straight to the skies

n

"What's... That?

" Ariel asked

nThe four along with the few people around watched as the beam pierced and moved the skies

nThe gatekeeper which they had met earlier also seemed confused by the sudden development and stared at it.

n

"This is what happens once a dungeon is cleared.

" Said Master Sylvia

nThe instant she said that, a small piece at the top of the tower broke off, and was heading straight down to the entrance.

nThis wouldn't have been a problem if the guard who John saw this morning wasn't there.

nInstinctively, John cast simultaneously Cast Furtim, Levite, Velox Duplici. Making him disappear from their sights and move as if some sort of cannon towards the falling objects.

nThe nostalgic feeling of flying through the real air and not a fake Dungeon one, made his heart beat faster and faster.

nHe moved fast, so fast that the object wasn't even halfway down by the time he reached it, but once he did, he barely had any time to think.

nWhat do I do? He wondered as the object quickly made it's way towards him.

nIt was a big piece from the wall, five times his size. If he broke it, it would end up falling and hitting on to whoever was underneath him. He needed to do obliterate it.

nHe stretched out his hand and thought about the feeling of using Zestari's Black Hole. He tried remembering the process but had no luck. Every ounce of knowledge he had gained after borrowing Zestari's power had disappeared.

n

"Damn it... If only I knew how to use that Black Hol-

"

nIn that instant, a Small incomplete black sphere was formed above him, it began to pull in absorb all the air around him and slightly distorted the space around him as it slowly and weakly pulled him in.

nBut it wasn't strong enough to put him in danger, nor could it absorb the light around it.

nWhat?!

nIt only lasted for a few seconds before it suddenly disappeared. But because John's attention had turned to it, he ended up forgetting the most important thing.

n*Crack*

nThe part of the dungeon which had collapsed ended up hitting him straight in the back of his head or so it seemed.

n*Tick* *Tock*

nIt slowed down right before it him, giving John time to cast a spell to stop it

nVentus!

nIt had stopped short, or rather, John forced it to as he managed to gather wind above his head in the last second.

nA few parts of rubble managed to crack off and get past but it wasn't enough to kill someone.

n

"Levite.

" Said John as he placed his hands on it to make it lighter.

nThe piece which was about to fall straight on to the guard's head was now slowly descending.

nWhat...? What's happening right now?! Did that thing slow down before hitting me? John wondered as he watched it descend

nHe wasn't sure if he was just seeing things or if it was just part of his imagination, but he knew one thing, for sure. At the corner of his eyes, right before it hit him. He heard the sound of a clock.

nConfused, John stared at his sheathe where he had put the Sacred Treasure Daggers. He had placed his old daggers into his dimensional ring after.

nBefore he even realised it a smile was formed on His face as he muttered

n

"Interesting...

"

nI should've just done this earlier, but I ended up discovering something interesting, so I guess it's fine. Hopefully the guy will be-

nJohn stopped talking once he looked down. The guy who he tried to save had already moved away from the entrance, meaning John had just waited his time.

nFeeling while feeling slightly embarrassed, John looked up to see how the situation was doing and when he did, he noticed it.

nCracks began appearing throughout the tower, mainly around the middle. Seeing this, John felt his heart sink

n

"Oi, No one told me about this...

" Said John with a nervous look

nIf the tower continued to break like this then, it would end up falling straight down on the other buildings and stalls filled with people around the beach.

nThe tower was very long. John was worried just thinking about the damages and casualties which would be caused.

n

"Damn it...

"

nHe took in a deep breath and deactivated Furtim, and waved his hand gesturing them that he needed help.

nBecause of his act, not only his party but the people around could seem him flying.

n----------------

nThey had started evacuating but stopped once a man pointed out that there was a boy floating around in the air.

n

"What's that?

"

n

"Is that a kid?

"

n

"He's flying...?!

"

n

"What're you waiting for?! RUN!!

" Shouted a man as he tried to move through the crowd of people which began slowing down

nOnce the man noticed that everyone's attention seemed to be on something in the air, The man also turned to see just what was wrong with them.

nWhen he did his eyes widened and he also stopped running

n

"What the hell...?

" He asked as he stared at the boy who was flying around the tower

nThe tower was breaking down and parts of it were falling down and yet the boy was using some sort of magic to slow them down.
