THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
46 Floor

When Sena woke up she could only see the light from the crystal stone emanating on the wall. His memory was still clear when he fell by the appearance of a large hand underground.

Trying to stand up with pain all over the body, there are many bruises and scratches are still new. But that's not a problem, where all heroes have the ability to regenerate injured skin cells.

Only, Sena could not restore the condition of her clothes that had been torn from all sides like now.

"I should have brought a change of clothes." Sena Mumbles.

From the end of the hallway, a shadowy figure appeared. Sena was ready to launch an attack.

But it was Zen who walked over..."You're aware of Sena."

Sena can breathe a sigh of relief...."Zen, where are we now."

"A cave in the 46th floor."

They had completely fallen to the bottom of the Dungeon.

"Did you bring me here." Ask Sena.

"Yes, we both almost died from falling from the 10th floor, a lucky break because I was able to take you to this nest so that I didn't get any fatal injuries." Answer Zen.

This cave was the nest of one of the bird-type demon beasts that lived within the Dungeon. Knowing that the size of the nest is quite extensive, so you can imagine how big the birds that live in the nest are.

But everything was cleaned by Zen, where two stacks of red bird corpses lay behind Sena.

"Isn't this the Carmalin bird a category A demon beast." Sena was quite surprised by that.

Carmalin-type demon beasts themselves lived on the cliffs of the ravine, they were extremely difficult to hunt, not only about their incredible flying speed, but the feathers were sharp like knives.

Apart from the dangers of hunting Carmalin birds, the meat is very tasty, similar to chicken but softer and distinctive flavor. The price was very expensive, even a king rarely enjoyed the flesh of a Carmalin bird.

"Don't think you want to eat it now." Zen could read Sena's mind.

"I'm not that greedy, but yes it might fit into Satay."

Zen agreed...."You're right, we can save it for later. Now all we have to think about is how to get out of this Dungeon."

They both knew how dangerous the ground floor of the Dungeon was, even though Sena and Zen had the power of being God's messenger heroes, it was still difficult to fight against monsters that were extremely powerful.

"What should we do now." Ask Sena.

"There are only two options, we go back up or down. Both are very difficult to do."

If climbed to the top would take a long time of up to 7 days and it was certain that they fought many demonic beasts during the journey.

Likewise, going down to the location of the 50th floor lord's existence and destroying the Dungeon's soul core would bring them out automatically.

But it was just as bad a choice. Even though the distance was only 4 floors, because all the monsters they had to fight were in the A and S categories.

"Blessed is Sena, because for the first time, I'm following your wishes, we're going down, that's our only quickest way out of here." Said Zen who was thinking carefully.

Zen could not play around in such a dangerous condition right now, he had to expend all his abilities in order to survive.

From Sena's point of view, he saw Zen full of admiration, from the beginning they met considered the man was just a coward who did not want to take risks. But now that he was so serious, the glare of his sharp eyes was so firm and his nature was clearly different.

"Why do you see me so weird." Zen was uncomfortable.

"No, I'm just embarrassed to call you a coward."

But Sena smiled at Zen's words..."I'm wrong, you're not a coward, you're just being wise not to make trouble for your family."

Right from behind Zen's back, Sena's hand coiled and gave a hug.

"What are you doing." Zen tried to dodge, but Sena's actions were too sudden.

"Just as a thank you."

"You can thank me after we get out of this place."

Sena is still a woman, in her past or present life.

Before being summoned to the God Realm to receive a title as a hero, Sena was a 2nd year High School girl majoring in IPS number 28 on behalf of Salsabila Serin.

As a teenage girl who was quite popular in school, Salsa also had a lover, they loved each other and mingled like a couple in general.

But one incident when Serin was with his lover, he called to the God realm and made everything change, living a new life with a new atmosphere, of course Serin initially could not accept reality, lost family, lovers, love, and so on, the beautiful things he had in the old world.

Gradually, he realized that it was impossible to just remain silent and regret his life, Serin also received the decree of the True God to carry out the duties of the Gods.

Until the 17 years he lived there was a lot going on, knowing the Ars family as one of the middle class nobles in Villian kingdom. Learning the power of magic energy in the body. Practice all kinds of fighting techniques. Get to know a lot of people at the Zezzanaza magic academy. Utilized by his family to get the status of a member of the royal family and got a mission to fight the demons.

It hardly occurred to me that an ordinary High School girl like Salsa was present as a hero. But for everything he went through, the encounter with Zen made him a little better.

More than just a friend of his old world who both live in the new world of Dios, Zen becomes the cure of longing for flavorful cuisine and a figure who might understand him.

The journey continues, where to reach the 50th floor, Zen and Sena have to go through 4 more floors, including where they are now. A steep cliff that can only be passed by a narrow road on the edge of the cliff.

Not only that, the real difficulty was the group of demon beasts category A Carmalin bird. On the narrow road is very risky to do the fight, especially the speed of flying Carmalin birds is difficult to handle.

"Because you used this." A Zen rope give it to Sena.

"Tali?, What's it for ?."

"Follow your body, if it slips I can save you." The answer.

Understanding the intent of Zen's plan, the narrow streets made it difficult for them to move and resistance to the Carmalin birds could only use long-range attacks. But do not rule out the possibility of bad things like falling because of a wrong footing. They should help each other in difficult conditions.

Long barrel rifles that were shaped like snipers from skill nine weapons were ready in Sena's hands, they had to kill the Carmalin before coming.

Moving step by step, slowly but surely, vigilantly watching each movement of the Carmalin birds and Sena fired small-scale shots to reduce the impact of damage on the outer side of the cliff.

The number of Carmalin birds counted reached 50, they alternately, but it made it easier for Sena to fight back. Including Zen is ready with the creator skill with a sword blade to attack automatically, although it is not too effective where the enemy moves too fast.

Suddenly, dozens of monsters plunged from a height like accidentally dropping through a hole where they fell.

It became very dangerous, the monsters broke the cliff walls, the rock rubble could have hit their heads.

"The door's in sight, we need to hurry."

"Run Zen, run...."

But unfortunately, just before reaching the door, a chunk of rock cut through the path. With no other choice, Zen held Sena's hand and threw her far towards the door.

Zen's actions succeeded Because Sena had already reached the location, but before he jumped, from behind the Carmalin bird attacking, there was no chance of Zen dodging, a large incision wound tore through his back.

Zen's footing collapsed, he fell down but due to the rope still tying the bodies of the two of them, Sena managed to pull him up.
