Crypt

Another one of the group that was waiting, stepped up. It is a wizard this time, he holds his staff dearly while fixing his hat.

"Chief, shall we enter the door now. The injured has been treated although nothing serious. I think we are good to go now"

Dedededide nods in response of the wizard he return with the others afterward followed by Emi.

"Alright then should we go then? They don't know what's coming. So let me show you how to end this with a bang"

She winks at Serpto and then ran quickly to the frontline kicking the iron framed door. However, there is no reaction whatsoever the door still stood there, unchanged.

"Very strange, the door doesn't open" she mutters to herself

"Try pulling the door, chief!"

"My mama said it is rude to open the door without warning, maybe try knocking, chief"

"How about pushing the door gently maybe it will open, the door looks like a living creature from down here"

She tries all her guild member suggestions, all of it doesn't work instead making her look ridiculous.

After all attempt has been tried, she checks her panel and a notification appeared

"Guild Raid, 5th Floor gate confirmation....

10 minutes ago"

She ignored the notification however she keeps the panel opened, takes a step back.

"One way boys, the only thing that will work is FIREPOWER!"

She cast a powerful, wide-ranged, thick, smoke magic. After the smoke is thick enough to cover everyone vision she confirm the notification quickly and then the door opens.

The crowd is surprised and cheers for their guild leader

"Nice, good thing they are dumb enough to believe that worked. My pride is still safe"

"Alright then everyone, charge! Be careful of traps don't rush stay in formation"

They do as their guild leader told and goes within order. After all of them entered the room, Serpto and Dedededide joins them.

"Spacious room, pillars, dim lighting. Look obvious enough this is a boss room and looks like they are aware of that as well. However..."

Dedededide mutters to herself while pointing her hands to many directions within the room with magic circle in each direction she pointed.

The ground begins to shake along with the chandeliers a loud grunt can be heard afterward, the gargoyle statue at the pillars fell and slowly regaining their form in the air and wildly fly around. At the center of the room, the ground which seems to be made of special glasses cracked showing a hole. The sound obviously coming from the depth.

The sounds are getting closer, a hand with stone like skin with sharp claws in position like climbing slowly shows the entire creature feature. A giant demonic figure, a hungry mouth with ridiculous amount of fangs in his stomach, his shoulders is of a devil head with horn pointing upward. Although the monster is expressionless, the mouth at it stomach regularly opens up and the head in its shoulder keep looking at its surrounding.

"A demon-hybrid?! This is getting interesting, let's beat this thing up! Chief, your order?"

"Sure, sure, beat it if you can't"

She smirks while she continued casting spells, unbothered by the creature at all

They charged forward rushing with weapons and drink potions while on the run, making they glow in different color respectively buff color. The ranged ground shoots their spells, arrows, and bombs toward the creature.

Unfortunately, they crashed at an invisible wall and their ranged attack didn't reach as well. The monster grasp the surrounding area it reached his hand touching an invisible walls in shape of a cube.

"We end it with a BANG, didn't I say? This is my power...

Dedededide reached her hand toward the creature and gives a thumb up, then she clicked her other fingers with her thumb.

The air inside the cube changes, a storm formed until the area is wet and turned into a stalagmite. The stalagmites cracked and fell upward with insane speed stabbing the monster.

The monsters tried to fight back it constantly punching the invisible wall, while the stalagmite which stabbed the creature slowly melt along with the air inside the cube turning red, it is now inside a high temperature. Although the aggressive reaction, the creature doesn't seem affected by the melting temperature.

The pillars which seems to be made by special material slowly melt until it turned into a molten mixture of iron and metal in a short time. The creature shows a sign of being bothered by the lava.

... Trap Magic."

"D-Damn, that is a horrifying ability."

"Come to think of it this is the first time, we see chief using her specialty magic"

The crowd can only watch as the creatures suffer hot air and stone like skin slowly melt along with the lava

"Now everyone, gather all that treasure right there it is ours now, left something for me alright"

Dedededide pointed past the floor boss there lies mountains of gold coins with chests buried with pile of golds and crystals.

They ran around the giant cube prison avoiding it at all costs, the monster gaze towards them and punches the wall powerfully scaring some of them.

After a few moments one of them shouts and reached a treasure to the air while calling out Dedededide. She smiles happily like a child managed to solve its math problems and started clapping.

The cube shift gravity with powerful and quick changes, the monster hit its head toward the ceiling and the gargoyle which is unbothered by the lava, now poured by the lava that affected by the change of gravity, one by one each of the gargoyle melted like fuel to fire, its stone skin is no match for the super hot lava enhanced by magic. The gravity keep shifting with each clap, making the monster bump to each direction.

"Is it another gold glass?! Tell me this time is different!"

"Y-Yes chief, it has a unique marking and decorated with diamonds; this one is also gold but looks cursed, chief. It has a strange aura on it, but our fellow in the guild can dispel it I think"

"Markings and decorated with diamonds? That sounds like a pirate treasure, I can just give it to Goldy later..."

After all the treasure has been looted and stored in the guild warehouse via backpackers team, they all gathered at the previous spot.

"This boss drop is mine and Serpto, you all already have your share though..."

The lava then spread around the cube, it seems that gravity is being forcefully spread to the entire area like black hole pulling everything toward it but this time is the opposite. The creature who have been weakened by the lava inside it is easily ripped apart limb to limb by the spreading gravity. After a while the gravity returned, the cube disappeared and the lava harden forming an altar and presents it monster loot drop, an orb and materials.

Dedededide climbed the altar and handed Serpto the ominous orb while the backpackers team gathered the remaining materials and storing it in the guild.

"Now we are even"
