Chapter 3: The revolution

The Boss room was weird. We expected a large monster maybe a giant Lizard, however the room was totally empty. Except a giant altar in the middle of the round room. In the back of the altar was a stone tablet with writing something onto it.

"What the hell?"

"Where is the boss?"

"Maybe a riddle boss?"

"But they are only in A and S Rank Dungeons- "

While the others asked each other's what is happening, I looked in confusion to the brit. Of course, he didn't know what this thing is up to. It's his first boss room after all. I never seen such thing either. The group was loud and discussed the situation. I went further towards the stone tablet. "Wait-"Tubbo said and followed me.

"There is something off" "I know" I replied. "We should go back to the others, what when a sneak attack will happen?" "The room is fully empty where the hell would something come from?" The brit stayed quiet and followed me to the altar. I mumbled what is written on the stone tablet.

" 'The Revolution will never be stopped. If someone is again against it should stand up. The guillotine would cut their head up in just in a few second. Everyone who say something against the Revolution will be cut their head of as well.' ", This was the first paragraph.

What the hell? The French revolution? Why should there be something like that in a dungeon. In a boss room. I was confused. "Someone said it's a riddle dungeon- maybe-" said Tubbo. I opened my eyes in shock.

"Everyone! Stop talking and knee down!" I shouted while pushing Tubbo towards the ground. I didn't expect that the others would do like I said since I am a E Rank. Maybe because of my feared voice they did it? I don't know.

Right after I said it, the door closed immediately, and circular saw blades came out of the walls. They flew from one side to another and disappeared again in the other wall. Cutting everything off what was in their way. They were located on the height of average people's throat. Some of the hunters were just to slow and got their head cut off. They just felt like heavy flour sacks. Nothing alive anymore, just dead body.

I held Tubbos eyes shut, therefore he couldn't see this ugly, scary scene. I don't even want to describe it. There was blood everywhere. The heads with this expression of shock and fear rolled onto the ground.

One looking right towards me. The eyes were lifeless and looked right through my soul. It was the swordswoman who saved my life at the beginning of this dungeon. I almost screamed. I felt guilty. I couldn't save her life like she did. These Eyes looked at me like, why didn't you save me? My brain stopped working for a second. I felt like throwing up.

Some hunters cried and screamed. They weren't ready for this. Their teammates and friends laid there dead. Tubbo wanted to say something, but I stopped him by putting my hand over his mouth as well.

The stone tablet also said, don't speak. What if something will happen as well? I can't risk it talking to them or my head will roll as well. Some stayed quiet just like I order them to be while I shouted only seconds ago. They were clever enough to understand, maybe something like a second wave is coming.

Tubbo, whose back is the only thing I can see of him because of my position leaning right above him, shivered. He trusted me, but he only can hear right now, and that is this painful screaming. He is scared, but I will promise you, even if you can't hear my thoughts. I will bring you out here alive.

Then a sound came from above. I looked upwards like everyone. Those who sat there screaming stayed quiet for a second and looked up. Everything was quiet just then. Maybe now because they are quiet now, they wouldn't be killed.

Right after I ended my thought long sharp blades came from above. Killing those who screamed only a few seconds ago. My eyes opened even wider. I bit in my tongue to not starting to scream. I tasted the irony flavor of my own blood.

The view was disgusting. Their heads rolled back towards the ground, some hopped a bit, looking shocked like the others who died before them. The blood splash on the ground, walls, other dead bodies or even on those who still are alive.

I begged that this was it. Hoped the door will open and we can leave. But nothing like that happened. The people left shivered and tried to stay calm, not to go insane and cut their head off as well. The blades stayed on the ground, didn't disappeared like the saw blades. They were covered with blood. Human blood.

Then the ceiling with those holes where the blades came from, closed. Everything was quiet again, except the loud beating of your own heart. Some sobbing of the hunters distracted the silence as well. Some cried quietly, some were in total shock, couldn't do anything.

I looked up towards the stone tablet. It was also stained by the blood of my teammates. The first paragraph disappeared. I didn't move or say anything. This could be just a second trap. Therefore, I just read the second paragraph. I knew now. It isn't over yet. We just survived the first riddle.

'To expand our idea of freedom we choose someone to lead us. He will kill everyone who is unwilling to fight for freedom or moves against him. Sometimes we have to fight with sword to have the right to live' It said.

What? I didn't know what I should do. The chosen leader? What? Should we choose someone new? Like, is our C-Rank leader still is alive? I looked around. It wasn't easy to figure out who is alive or not. Everyone sat or laid down. Only if you look if their head is still there you can see if these bodies are alive. It wasn't easy for me to see all those dead bodies full of blood. In mitten of dead bodies, I finally found him. The C Rank is still living. I counted everyone alive and look how many died. I gasped. With Tubbo and me count, we are only nine left! Twelve people died! That's more than the half!

Then something happened. It was extremely loud. I had to hold my ears shut. In the floor right before the altar a about three-meter-wide circle opened. In this hole fell a few corpses because they laid right above it. Those who were alive robbed away. Then the earth shattered. Out of this hole came a huge statue. It looked like a warrior, a swordman. His eyes were lighted by blue light, but he didn't move.

Then suddenly the same happened at the back of the altar. My head turned towards the noise source. Out of 30 smaller holes came 30 statues. Some were without swords, some with. It was weird but at least they were much smaller.

This was the second phase, so the first one is over. Does this mean I can talk again? I am unsure. I hadn't long to think about. The giant swordman moved suddenly and stroked his sword out to kill my teammates. Because the swordsman appeared right next to where most people were, some stand up and ran away while screaming.

Some who couldn't move, because of shock or because they believed the first phase wasn't over, which still mean they shouldn't move, were just slaid by the swordsman. I opened my mouth in shock. He killed 3 people with one swing. Their bodies were sliced in half. Blood was everywhere- Finally I puked because I couldn't handle it anymore.

Since I puked, I released my hands from the brit's face. He looked right to me and then to the swordsman. The earth shattered again, and I looked up. While I was busy with... other things, I didn't notice that this giant statue walked right towards us.

My eyes were in shock. For a second I couldn't move. I didn't even notice the disgusting taste from the trough up in my mouth. I could only feel the pounding of my own heart. The adrenaline went straight into my blood. And right when he swung his sword, I grabbed Tubbos arm and pull him with me, away from this creature. I ran for my life, the brit right behind me.

The monster barely hit me. I gasped and I could feel my heart pounding even faster. Because we could stand up without a punishment from the first phase I shouted. "The first phase is over. I think we can finally talk and stand up again!" I looked to Tubbo while running away. He looked disgusted by all these corpses.

The people shouted to each other while running away, trying to figure out what to do. The riddle went straight into my mind. What does this mean. The answer flicked into my mind, when the swordman didn't ran towards us but to these unarmed statues and broke it in two.

"We have to be armed! With swords. Everyone takes one!" The sentence 'Sometimes we have to fight with swords to have the right to live' went in my mind. The first sword I took I gave Tubbo. He was more important than I am. All others, who hadn't a sword yet, took one too. I saw a woman who shivered and stood there with this sword right in front of this terrible creature.

She was shattered into two pieces.

How-? I-I was wrong- How could I make such a mistake- They trusted me. And now one more person is dead. Her body just felt down, and blood splashed everywhere. But then something comes to my mind.

We aren't in his army yet. If we fight right in front of him, we would still be enemies. "We have to stand right in front of one of the statues in the back!" I shouted and ran with Tubbo to those statues. A male magician was in front of us. But not a long time.

The eyes of the statues, who had a sword, suddenly lighted up blue. Then direct in front of my eyes, the magician was cut in half. The view was frightening and awful. But I hadn't had the time to think about it. Therefore, I just stopped and looked around. What should I do- What-? Then I had it.

"Go in front of the unarmed ones" I shouted and ran with Tubbo, who was right behind me, towards one of those. I was relieved when nothing happened while standing right ahead of this statue. I took Tubbos sword and stood before him to protect the Brit.

Only a few seconds later everyone stood before the statues. I was eased and pleased. But then I realized the swordsman still moved. By every footstep, the ground shattered, and he moved right towards Tubbo and me.

I must go to another statue. Tubbo and I don't count as one, therefore he'll kill us both. I turned too Tubbo and gave him my sword. "Just stay here. Don't move!" I commanded seriously. "Dream- ", the Brit replied confused and worried.

But I just ran away. Away from him and as fast as I could. I had to find a damn sword. I heard the creature turning around and is now after my life. I just ran. I felt my own sweat running down my face.

Even though the statue seems to move slow it wasn't. It was so big, that one footstep made three meters in one go. I ran for my life. Then finally I saw something shining on the ground. A sword!

I was just about to get there when I tripped over the swordswoman's head. The swordswoman who saved my life. It was just like. You didn't save me, therefore you will go to the afterlife with me!

I felt right next to her sword. Now I am dead. I turned around and saw this giant above me. He swung out to hack me in two. I rolled towards my left to sidestep this sword, but it didn't work out like I hoped it would.

I screamed in pain. I had to squint my eyes; the pain was unbearable. I couldn't even move at this point; it was just too much. Every sound was away for this second. There was just a high-pitched noise, a ringing in my ears, a tinnitus. But my hearing came back only a few fractions of seconds. I marked Tubbo screaming. He shouted my name in black and fear. I finally opened my eyes.

Everything was blurry, my vision wasn't great. But I could realize my situation. This monster tried to kill me with a swing again. I rolled away again and made it out alive. He didn't cut anything off again like last time.

I tried to stand up. I exactly don't know how I did it while this pain was still there, but I did it. The thing is, this monster cut off my whole arm. The swordswoman's sword was in my right hand. And then I ran again. First, I was slower. There came a lot of blood out of the thing that used to be my arm. I tried to stop the bleeding a bit with my right hand or arm, but it didn't do much because I had the sword still in my hand.

But I made it. I made it in front of those fucking statues. I survived. The giant swordsman stopped and the light in his eyes turned off. I collapsed onto the ground. My breath was fast, and I was out of puff. I was exhausted. My friend immediately ran towards me even though I said he should stay were he was. But the statues were just about to disappear back in the ground. The second phase was over.

"Oh my gosh, I-I heal you- I promise everything will be fine" he explained while the tears ran down his cheeks. Instantly he put his hands over my hacked down rest of my arm.

I suddenly started to feel dizzy; I felt like I was on a ship. The room turned around. The rest of the survivors came to us. It was the C Rank leader and a female wizard. The eyes of the C Rank leader were in fear, he didn't know what to do. He was just shocked, and you could see that he already expected to be dead. Both were silent so the only source of sound was made by Tubbo. He sobbed and cried. We were just four left.

"It- It isn't over- ", I quietly said. My voice was weak, but I tried to sound as strong as I could. "We have to get to the stone tablet" I explained and stood up. "Let me help you" the kind voice of the woman said. I nodded. She took my right arm around her shoulders and helped me walk with the others to stone tablet. I still held the swordswoman's sword in my hand. Everyone was silent. The C-Rank moved in trance, like he wasn't even there. He was off.

While going to this board Tubbo cried and sobbed, that he couldn't heal my arm, because it was cut off too much. "It's alright" I said, trying to sound strong. I am unsure if I sounded strong, but I guess I wasn't because Tubbo cried even more.

Then we finally made it in front of the board. Because my vision was kind of blurry the wizard read loud what stood there.

" 'Now the only thing left is, that the king falls' " It was just one sentence nothing more and we all knew what we should do. We looked towards the leader; whose eyes just opened wide. "N-No- I- I can't die!" he screamed loud with fear. He seemed to get crazy. The swordsman couldn't handle it.

Right after he screamed, around us fire appeared and around the altar. But the door opened wide as well. The door to leave. Without even thinking the C-Rank ran towards it. The women screamed. "No, it may be a trap-!" But to everyone's surprise, it wasn't.

The swordsman just ran right through it and survived. Nothing happened. He was free.

"W-We can leave-?" Tubbo said relieved with a smile. He seemed exhausted from this torture, which happened to all of us. And he wasn't the only one. We all were exhausted. At the corner of my eye, I saw that the door slowly closed again. We should leave now, or the door will be closed forever.

"But the boss isn't finished. So, what if- ", the wizard said. And then it clicked. If no one will sacrifice his life now, the boss will come in our world. I turned towards Tubbo. I smiled sadly. "When I come back, we go into your favorite café and we will talk a bit about videogames or so...- "I said. "What-?", He said confused.

The wizard understood. "You will- ", I interrupted her. "I may die just because of my blood lost. It just makes sense." Tubbo still looked confused. "Please bring Tubbo out here alive" I said. Then in Tubbos mind it clicked. "N-No. Dream- no!"

The wizard just took Tubbo onto her shoulder while he tried to get out of her grip. "No! Let me down!" he screamed. "Please go now. The gate closes.", I smiled sadly. The women nodded. And then they left. I looked towards them until the door closed behind them. Tubbo tried to escape while screaming. He moved a lot, but the woman had a good grip.

And then I was lonely. So, this is how my life will end? In a dungeon. Kind of like I expected. I stumbled towards the altar. I laid down and looked towards the ceiling. Afterwards to my left and right. All these corpses laid there. What a massacre I saw. All these bloody, cold, dead bodies. Then I looked towards the sword. This is how I will die.

And then I stabbed myself to death. I didn't die at just that second. I just felt a lot of pain, like the pain I felt when my arm was cut off. But this time I tried to stay awake. I wasn't ready to die yet. I am not ready-

Suddenly some message box bobbed up before me. It was blue and seemed just like in a game. It was kind of transparent. The writing was white. 'You finished the quest: [The survival of the revolution as a weakling] '. What-? In my sight some black dots appeared. I will faint in a few seconds. Suddenly a second blue box appeared.

'Accepting being a PLAYER or die in 2 Seconds- "At the bottom were to buttons. Accept or deny. With my last breath I whispered. "A-Accept-?"

And then everything went black.
