It felt like an eternity in the dungeon. The baroness sighed as she thought to herself. Earth's Timing threw her to Hades, also known as the DARKSIDE. Many battle mages have come here and never returned. Some who attempted it had their lives sucked out by fire, and now only these dungeon walls hold their memories. The baroness was willing to trade the prospect of ever seeing daylight for anything other than these rodent-infested death hole.
At the very least, she still had her weapon, which the guards fought to take away, but she wouldn't let go, so they threw her to the worst part of the dungeon, where she would rot away.
The Baroness's thoughts is diverted by the gruff, raspy, and somewhat high-pitched voice.
She muttered to herself,
The guard strikes him with the hilt of the sword, knocking him to the ground before he could finish speaking.
Throwing off the rat that had just crept up his body, the Elf tries to stand up.
You see, the Elf was thrown into the same dungeon with her a few days after she was. He stole from a high-ranking monster, and used his sorcery to kill the chief guard as he tried to flee.
Many times he has attempted to hypnotize the baroness in order to steal her amulet, but she has kept a close eye on him ever since.
the Elf chuckled, interlocking his slim long fingers in mischief. The baroness raises her brow and casts him a sidelong glance.
The Elf gives her a look, then paces back and forth, giving her the look again as if analyzing her words each time. He takes a deep breath and moves closer, his gaze fixed on her amulet, which was hanging around her neck.
The Elf comes to a halt, looks at her and gives a rasping chuckle before continuing.
He is cut off by the baroness.
The Elf giver her a shrug while still pacing back and forth on his oversize foot.
He approaches her once more before pausing to gaze at her. With her sword, she signals for him to stop.
Before the goblin could finish, the baroness takes the amulet off her neck and chants "zhimiras kimidas" into the reflection of her blade. Immediately, a loud stomp, making Hades tremble as if an earthquake had struck it.
the Elf utters in a frenzy while pacing back and forth in great distress.
The darkside guards approach them to attack.
Another loud stomp, this time more terrifying than the first, which caused the bar hinges to fall off. The guards were buried beneath the dungeon rubble as a result of the stomp. The dread of impending battle filled the air.
The baroness tries to knock down the bars with her feet. She quickly glances at her amulet, which reveals the combat rules and allowed her to summon only one summoner at a time. If she did not do so after starting the battle, it would be considered sacrilege. That was not going to happen. This was her chance to escape Hades.
🐉 BYZANTINE KITTY
The baroness summoned the great dragon BYZANTINE KITTY with her amulet. KITTY smashed through Hades, Majestic and glorious in all words, large enough that the hades trembled. A three-star summoner, so adorable that it'll misguide you while it strikes. A summoner with the supernatural ability to grant the 'SPEED, HEAL AND TRUE STRIKE' ability to the monsters willing to fighting alongside.
The baroness and Elf in awe as stats appeared. They both couldn't believe their eyes. Another stomp echoes, drawing the fight closer. BYZANTINE KITTY, takes a commanding stance while flapping the huge wings, and summons the most powerful monsters.
🌊 DIEMONSHARK - FIRST LINE
The name itself demonstrates how demonic this monster can be. Bursting through Hades, this enormous size monsters is known as the Celestial of Sharks. His body is covered in thick armored scales, and his powerful fins and tail allow him to move quickly enough to avoid enemy attacks and 'Trample' on them. Never try to 'Enrage' the DIEMONSHARK because if he becomes enraged, he transforms into a demon.
🌊 DEEPLURKER - SECOND LINE
DEEPLURKER are poisonous fish that lurk the weak at the ocean's bottom. They believe in the elemental water magic balance, and when it shifts, the DEEPLURKER rise to attack or defend it in order to keep the balance. A terrifying six-star monster well deserving of it's title.
🌊 DJINN OSHANNUS - THIRD LINE
Legend has it that this monster is loyal and would do anything to fight against the chaos legion. ancient monsters with powerful magic abilities. DJINN OSHANNUS excellent forcefield ability only can be attacked with monsters of +5. Magic attack misses him and if hit, his avoid ability recues the damage.
🌊 RULER OF THE SEAS - FOURTH LINE
According to legend, he is as old as the seven seas. The Ocean Oracle is well-known for being the most feared of its kind, possessing knowledge that spans time and space. A three-star⭐️⭐️⭐️ monster who is well-deserving of his rank and abilities. His 'silence' ability reduces all enemy magic monsters' attacks, while blasting the enemy monster adjacent to his target. RULER OF THE SEAS 'swift' ability increases the speed of all team monsters in battle.
🌊 PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS - FIFTH LINE
A 3 star⭐️⭐️⭐️ Legendary monster who because of his flying and dodging abilities, he has a 100% chance of dodging enemies, whether melee or ranged. If that monster has the ability to fly or evade, it cancels out the effect of those abilities. This case is highly unlikely, and that's what makes this powerful monster one of a kind. Another ability he has is the demoralize effect to melee attack. He is well deserving of his title and name as the PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS.
🌊 ICE PIXIE - SIXTH LINE
ICE PIXIE is a water sliver ice mage looking for the right opportunity to battle. Although she has just a single magic, her speed +4 peered with BYZANTINE KITTY +2 speed gives her an advantage when attacking. It is almost impossible for enemies to attack and kill her.
As they all appeared before BYZANTINE KITTY, they ready their armor and a big stomp reveals Hades with the defiant monsters.
There was a great screeching loud noise like the sound of many dammed souls as summoner enemy-TARSA approached for battle wrapped up in fire accompanied by top ranked monsters, enemy-LIVING LAVA in first position, enemy-DISINTEGRATOR in second, enemy-TENYII STRIKER in third, enemy-DJINN APPRENTICE in fourth, enemy-SERPENTINE SPY in fifth and enemy-FIRE ELEMENTAL in sixth.
As she dashed to the center of the battleground, clutching the amulet, the Elf hides away behind the pile of rubble, watching. The baroness's heart skip several beats, hoping her monsters win or be damned forever in Hades. When the enemy-TARSA saw the baroness, she burst out in evil laughter.
"You, a mage dare to start a battle in Hades. Your soul like the rest battles mages who dared will be damned forever in Hades"
She lashed out at the Baroness.
The Baroness trembled even more, nearly dropping the amulet. She takes a stance to read the combat rules.
HEAVY HITTERS: All monsters gain the 'Knockout' ability.
SPREADING FURY: All monsters gain 'Enrage' shield.
Her heart was steady as she yelled.
BYZANTINE KITTY flies over her monsters and through Telepathy speaks to her team of monsters;
"Brothers this mage seeks an escape out of Hades to realm she fell from. Our weapons have been honed for combat. To arms! to arms! We fight for glory!!!"
Her team of monsters let out a thundering growl, furious and intense. All the monsters then charge out to attack.

BYZANTINE KITTY AND THE WHOLE TEAM OF MONSTERS LET OUT A GREAT ROAR OF VICTORY. The Enemy is defeated. Enemy Summoner-TARSA Flees
Just as BYZANTINE KITTY and the squad are about to leave, the baroness steps forward with the Elf, completely overwhelmed in amazement, both take a bow, as a sign of respect. BYZANTINE KITTY and Team of monsters acknowledge their respect. Speechless in the face of such a crushing defeat against hades.
The baroness and the Elf thief recoiled in terror, having never been approached in this manner by such a powerful summoner, but, BYZANTINE KITTY's smile made them feel safe.
The summoner bends low, as if signaling the baroness to board. The Elf who understands magical language says,
The Baroness hops on her back, stretches her hand out to grab the Elf,
BYZANTINE KITTY drops them on an island. The Baroness immediately recognizes it as The Island of Tamos, the island she was on before the grim reaper returned her.
She expresses her gratitude to [BYZANTINE KITTY] before the summoner vanishes.
The Baroness, now in the realm of Diamonds, stands near the shoreline, her gaze fixed on the mountains and rising sun. She pondered how she would get to Anenon. She was hopeful. All that mattered was this very moment. She clutched her amulet, smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief as the breeze blew through her hair.

I definitely like this team of monsters and always look forward to engaging them in battles. The abilities of these monsters at Maximum levels is fascinating, unmatched.
