My name is Ragar, and I'm know as the "Lightning Swordsman". One day in my twenties I was with my former party, the "Elemental Swords of Arcania". We were one of the most powerful parties in Arcania, belonging to the "Swordsman of the Rising Star" guild. Back in my days, it wasn't the adventurers guild, there were multiple guilds.
"Flame Slash!". A fiery upbeat guy with with sharp red hair, eyes, yelled.
A burning blaze of flames flies from his sword, burning the monster beyond recognition. His name was Akatsuki Ume, aka "Akatsuki the Burning Moon Swordsman" or "Fated to Hell".
"Hey hey, Ume-chan, he was mine!". A short kid with black hair and purple tips complained about Akatsuki.
"Whatever, I hit him first".
"Calm down you two". I sigh as I tell them to stop arguing.
"Now, let's proceed in the dungeon".
As we walk down a cramp musky stairway, we hear faint echos of our footsteps.
"Lit a flame would you, Akatsuki?".
"Fine"
As Akatsuki lit the flame, we realize that it isn't just moss on the walls, there were some kind of writing too.
"What does it say, Ragar?". Akatsuki asked.
"Let's see... this is odd, it's not something I read in the libraries".
All of a sudden, the stairs start to collapse. We fall down a deep dark hole. After a few minutes, we see light closing in.
"Red Flash of the Burning Moon!" Akatsuki slashes straight down, instantly killing the momentum.
"Poison Fog".
The kid lands safely on what seems like a cloud of poison. I used Lightning Chain to chain onto the wall, as I slowly descend down on the ground.
"What is this place..?" I asked, as I look at the glowing purple light from a huge gateway.
The gate slowly opens, revealing a giant room. The gravity changed for a few seconds. We fell into the room and the gate shut. A loud creaking noise can be heard from the distance. Then it suddenly stopped and a dark purple dragon falls from the roof.
"Are we supposed to fight that thing!?"
There's no way we can beat something like that. The magic radiating off it is insane.
"Ragar, Kage, we're taking this thing down! Follow my lead!".
"Yes sir!" Kage and I answered in the same time.
We charged at the dragon, swords ready. When we reach our range all three of us unleash our attacks simultaneously.
"Burning Moon Hell Slash!".
"Toxic of Death".
"Thunder Charge!".
The dragon was unfazed from our attacks. Are we doomed?
"No, not yet! I'm not done! Raging Flame Storm!". A spiral of flame shoots towards the dragon.
"Same here! Toxic Hurricane!". Kage releases a purple hurricane.
"Combo Skill: Poisonous Fire Storm!". They both yell at the same time, as they send forward a burning spiral of toxic flames.
"Piercing Lightning Speed Mode". I attack after their hit.
It's a skill that bases off purely on speed, in other words. The faster I am, the more damage I deal, it also ignores defense.
"We did it...". Akatsuki drops to the ground, exhausted from using too much magic.
There was a chest in the dragon's corpse, it contained a venomous katana that only Kage can hold. After he picked it up, a magic circle appeared under us and we were teleported back to the surface. We didn't have the dragon's corpse to prove we beat a dragon, but we did have the katana to brag about.
