The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 15: Lizards Part 2

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

Compared to an official Raid under the association, a private Raid had no compensation if something happened. Heroes could not even obtain insurance; their lives involved too much danger. Reading the line, it officially hit Izuku that he had entered a raiding party.

Before signing, Izuku asked Hwang, "So what do you need me to do?"

Hwang said, "Not much, just follow us around and carry the baggage."

Izuku said, "Baggage...?"

Hwang gestured to a large backpack his teammates were unloading from a car Hwang said, "Inside it are food, clothes, equipment, first aid kit, etc..." Wait, a first aid kit in a Dungeon?

Izuku asked, "Are we going in without a Healer?"

Hwang said, "You should know, it's really hard to get a Healer-class Hero for a personal raiding party. We've always been like this" Hwang laughed awkwardly. A raiding party formed at the last minute, only going in with the minimum headcount.

A filler member who mistook the Raid for a social gathering. And now, the news that there were no Healers in the party, only Tankers and Dealers.

Izuku swallowed his laugh and thought, 'They're all scrubs.' Still, the reason he was able to sign the contract was not because of the 191,914.04 yen. It was because he was confident in his abilities to protect himself and Hwang said, "Here you go." As Izuku took the bag and carried it by the strap effortlessly

Hwang checked the two men's signatures then proclaimed loudly, "Then, let's go!"

As they turned the corner they saw a massive black hole and someone said, "Hwang are you sure this is a C-rank gate?"

Hwang said, "Do you think the association would ever lie I heard they checked this gate twice with the scanner."

Most of the B-rank and rank Gates would be picked up by large Guilds. Those were too dangerous for an individual to lead a private party into. Instead, private parties would request and reserve C-rank or lower Gates. Hwang continued to walk and turned around and said, "I'll go in first, please follow after." The leader who was also the tanker took the lead and slowly slowly everyone else followed.

Yoo walked beside Izuku and said, "Hey, dude you said you were an E-rank right? I'll make sure to protect you."

Izuku thought, 'This clown...'

Izuku said, "Thanks for that. Lets go as well behind them."

The dungeon was quiet and dark but due to Izuku's perception he could tell this was a cave, but weirdly he couldn't sense anything.

Hwang told the mage to create light. As he did no one saw a living creature and Yoo asked Izuku, "Hey, are there any dungeons with no magic beasts?" 

Izuku said, "It's not that there aren't any. They just haven't come yet." Yoo Jin gulped.

Izuku closed his eyes to focus and heard something it was... From the top!

Izuku yelled, "Above!"

As he said that everyone looked up to see bugs type beasts, Hwang shouted at the party, "Everyone, to your positions! They're coming! Faces forward!" Giant bugs were coming at them across the ceiling. If the warning had been a little late, the bugs would be falling on their heads now.

Hwang said, "Shoot! Shoot them down! I'll grab the aggro when they fall!" Arrows and magic flew across the air towards the bugs. Izuku thought, 'I feel like something's off... But I don't have to worry... I have 2 o fucking p quirks...'
