WE ENTERED THE EVIL MANOR


Wewent inside the door leading to the underground staircase. The lightsonly came from magic torches in the walls. Our footsteps echoed inthe dark.

Finally,Mr. Baraka stopped in front of a twenty feet tall metal door. Heturned to us.

"Thisis the dungeon called EVILMANOR. Themonsters in here attack in sight. Be careful." He said. "Okay,I'll open the door."

Hepushed the metal door, revealing a very wide hallway. The ceiling wasthirty feet up. The lights came from creepy-looking lamps hanging onpillars.

"Atthe end of the dungeon is a door leading to the over world." Heinformed us. "Now, each party will choose a passage. There are fivepassages. One party can choose one. GO!"

Theothers roared as they ran, leading their party into one of thepassages.

"Whichway?" I asked Dan.

"Let'stry the center." Dan replied.

"Let'sgo!" Spencer said, leading the way.

Wewent inside the passage, which led us into a staircase going up. Weclimbed the staircase and found the first monster. It was a demonactually, a female demon, with rust colored skin and spiky hair. Hereyes were red.

"Pyramidformation!" Dan said.

Spencernodded immediately. He went in front. I went to Spencer's back withClifford, with Tom and Hana behind us, and Dan behind them.

"Now,generate aggro!" Dan ordered.

Spencernodded and grabbed the shield from his back. He hit the front of theshield with his sword. CLANG!CLANG! CLANG!

Thesound of Spencer's shield got the attention of the demon lady. Thedemon lady raised her arms and pointed at Spencer.

"Defend!"Dan ordered. "The enemy is a sorcerer!"

Spencerhid behind his shield. Electric balls came out from the demon lady,hitting his shield. A small explosions staggered Spencer, butotherwise, he looked unharmed.

"Attack!"Dan ordered.

Thethree of us—Spencer, Clifford and I, ran to the demon lady. Thedemon was startled when its face was hit with Spencer's shield. Iwent to the demon's back and unsheathed the rapier—erm the longsword.

Cliffordslashed both of his swords at the demon lady's side. The demonlady's skin seemed to be as hard as iron.

CLUNK!CLUNK! CLUNK!

Iclicked the button of the long sword and the sword hummed withelectricity.

"Yaa!"I slashed at the demon lady's neck. Her neck was cut, and herdemonic head flew across the room. The demon dissipated into smoke.

"Enemydown."Tom said, imitating a soldier's voice from CounterStrike.

"Patrolfile formation!" Dan ordered. "Let's go."

Wetook off, with Spencer in front, Clifford at his back, and me onClifford's back, Tom on my back, Hana on his back, and Dan at therear.
