( Yuuki's POV )
Hearing the scream I ran back to the group but all of Hajime's classmates had disappeared and some of our club members were also missing, Tsukiumi and Yumina among them.
Yuuki: What happened here?
Erica: a kind of magic trap, Tsukiumi and the others stayed inside the trap to keep the others safe.
I expected that from girls and immediately after Erica told me what had happened I received a mental message from Tsukiumi.
Tsukiumi: [ Yuuki, do you hear me? We were transported deep into the dungeon. You know the place, Behemoth's Bridge. ]
Behemoth was nothing the girls couldn't handle, but I still hurried on, riding Sif and Grimm, me and the rest of the club were taken to where the others had been teleported and in a matter of seconds.
When the Behemoth Bridge was in sight a small army of skeletons is blocking our way and the students' escape route, and before I could do anything to move them out of the way, the floor beneath them shifted and they were pushed and fell over the sides of the bridge.
The one who had done that was Hajime and when I saw that he had secured the escape route I jumped off Sif's back, over the students and I ended up next to Meld and Kouki who were trying to keep Behemoth at bay.
Those two were surprised by my appearance but I paid them no attention, using my colossal sword I chopped one of Behemoth's horns with an upward slash and the beast took a few steps back.
Meld: wha- How did you get here so fast?
Yuuki: Don't worry about that, you need to get the students out of here.
I walked forward with my sword ready and when I touched the ground with the tip of my foot some stone pillars came out and pushed Behemoth a little further back but before the fight could continue, Meld placed a hand on my shoulder.
Meld: I must get you all out of here, that's you too, you are the future of our kingdom, if anyone should be left behind it would be us knights.
Yuuki: That dedication is commendable, but no one is going to die today, but it's a long way out, you must guide the students back, and my group will stop Behemoth.
The rest of our club stepped up and with constant attacks we pushed Behemoth even further, I glanced at Meld and when he saw how serious I was he started giving evacuation orders.
This wasn't what I had planned but we could take advantage of this to disappear, I looked behind me at Hajime, we shared a look and after a second that felt like minutes he went to help with the evacuation of the students.
I guess that's the path he had chosen, I looked at Akira, Sora, Suzuki and Akane, they were going to stay near Hajime in the castle for the next phase of my plan.
When the students were off the bridge I fire a concentrated cero from my finger that kills Behemoth instantly, we ran back to the others and at the same time Grimm moved inside the shadows and possessed the fresh corpse of Behemoth, We acted like we didn't see that coming, "Behemoth" made a big stomp with his front hooves and the bridge beneath us collapsed, those outside the bridge were paralyzed by surprise and while we fell without hope I threw my colossal sword and it landed in front of the students.
When the students were no longer in sight we Sekireis spread our wings of light and Chifuyu and Maya activated their IS, We helped those who couldn't fly and when we safely descended into the real Orcus dungeon, Yue was there waiting for us.
Yue: Welcome back Yuuki.
//////////////////////
I opened a portal to Babylon so most of the girls crossed over because they had other missions to accomplish, the ones who stayed there were Tsukiumi, Yumina, Cecilia, Rizu, Yue y yo, our mission was to finally finish the Orcus Great dungeon.
The lowest floor we had reached was the 80th floor, I opened a portal to that place and we continued making our way down until we reached the 100th floor, If the fake and real dungeon aligned in design this one should be the last floor and the big boss was there waiting for us, it was not uncommon in this dungeon for the scenery to change from floor to floor and that was no different this time, and what I meant was that the top floor was the most normal of all, a large room with nothing but pillars where one could hide as far as the visitor could see.
There was no enemy in sight but we didn't let our guard down and as we approached the center of the room a giant magic circle appeared in there, that was much larger than the magic circle that had summoned Behemoth and the creature that came out of it easily reached the ceiling of this place.
With just one glance it was easy to identify the beast, with a large body and walking on all fours, a long snake tail and multiple heads connected to the body by long necks, that was a Hydra.
The creature began to gather a huge amount of magic but we stood there waiting for it, Cecilia fired with her laser rifle, Yue used her magic and I fired a Cero, our attacks hit at the same time, creating a small explosion, but we soon realized that those attacks had had no effect, Of course, those were just attacks to measure the beast's resistance, but the difference between the beasts we were facing on the previous floors was too wide but that only made things more interesting.
I put on a big smile and prepared for the fight, but before that we took cover behind the pillars because the Hydra had finished charging its magic.
