My Beginning After the End

The Sand Grotto Pt. I

(One Day Later)

Yesterday, I was informed on everything that was going on in here, turns out they have gotten pretty far into the dungeon, and the only thing they found were mana beast with weapons, no mutants.

Commander Jagger was jacked, he was very muscular, and wielded a giant hammer. He was carrying it around as he went to each team and told them what they were to do today. Our team was going into the dungeon with the Twin Horns to search for the mutant or anything else out of the ordinary. Besides being super bulky, Commander Jagger was a pretty nice guy, he told me how happy he was to have me joining the squad here. I think he heard the stories about what happened at the Iron Tombs.

"Let's go." Helen said to the eight of us waiting to go into the dungeon, we stepped through a checkpoint they already had set up, and we ended up in another cavern with no mana beast inside. "This place is safe; we have to enter through that tunnel and that's where they left off." Helen pointed and everyone nodded, we must be pretty far into the dungeon.

"You ready?" Callias asked me, and I nodded. I activated "Blood Oath" as we entered into the tunnel at a fast pace. Callias and I ignited our swords with fire. "I wish my fire was blue." He said as he looked at my sword.

"Little demon." Adam chimed in as he ran in front of me. 

"Adam, Veer, Callias, and Jasmine in the front, everyone else will take down the enemy from a distance." Helen told us. "Is that okay with you, Victoria."

"Yes, that's perfect." Victoria responded from behind me.

"The Esene will be in the next cavern, so be ready." Helen shouted; I could already sense them. I had no idea what the Esenes were going to look like, but their names were interesting. Hopefully, they're just as weak as the Flukets, they are also D Class beasts.

Everyone started to prepare spells for when we entered the cavern, and as we did, inside was nothing, absolutely nothing. "Huh, aren't there supposed to be beast here?" Callias asked everyone, and then growling could be heard coming from the tunnel across the cavern. "Ohh, here they come."

"Battle formations." Helen shouted as everyone got ready for the approaching beasts to enter the cavern. I got ready to kill them all, it was good to be back here.

The Esenes entered, and I noticed they were like ogres, our height, their skin was pale, like a lighter sand color. They had armor on and weapons in their hands, and it looked like pieces of them were falling off of them. It was very disturbing; I would rather fight the yellow blood invested Flukets.

I could feel blood coursing through them, so that was a good thing. I stood in the middle, with Callias to my right, and Jasmine to my left, with Adam on the far left. These things weren't going to get through us, there were only about one hundred of them. I could kill them all myself, so with a group we should fly by them.

I stepped into the ground and forced ice to cover the field in front of us, where the Esenes were running over, and as their feet touched the ice, I had the ice grow on to them holding them in place.

"Okay?" Helen said weirdly from behind. "Next time tell us you can do that." The beast growled and roared as they tried to free themselves, some even broke their legs trying to escape.

"I thought this would be easier." I conjured wind blades in front of me, and shot them, slicing the heads off of countless Esenes. "Just unload, they can't reach us unless they run over the dead bodies."

"You heard him." Victoria shouted, and everyone that could started launching spells at the immobile mana beast. "Why didn't you do this with the Flukets?"
