#11- Rust and Blood!
The Rusted Metropolis was as advertised, a city straight out of survival horror game!
A dark brown sky, dusty clouds all arround, building covered in wall to wall rust, rusty cars litter the streets, and the smell of metal and decay.
"Well, this place went to hell quick..." i thought to myself.
I read the info about this dungeon on my status screen...
"The Rusted Metropolis was once a thriving city, until a mysterious virus transform the city and the people in it into a decaying wasteland, you will find the Boss in City Hall."
"Oh, that's really fucking comforting.." i said.
We continued south until we saw somthing that belongs in nightmares.
A creature feeding on another, half of it's body was covered in rust, but it was still oozing a dark red substance.

One swipe of my arm blade was all it took, it's head severed, it crumpled to the ground.
"Wow, that was..fucking pathetic..." i said.
But, it was at that moment, i remembered the fundamental truth about Zombies...
....They never travel alone!
Out from the shadows, 6 more Rust Zombies emerged, alongside them were two giant spiders, like the zombies, they too were covered in rust.

Cracking my knuckles i faced my friends, "Millie, Sasha, deal with the zombies, the spiders are mine!" i said.
The two other nodded as we began the fight!
I exended my arm blades, the sooner i did, flames covered them, the Flame Wasp's DNA kicking in, despite the Rust Spiders' large defense, they weren't fireproof!
By the time Sasha dealt the finishing blow on the zombies, i had already turned the Rust Spiders into charred shells.

"We tried to fight the boss, and got wiped!" the Tiger said, "Don't fight that prick, he ain't normal!"
Ashley was unconcious, i then turned to Sasha and Millie, "It's your call guys.."
"Who know how long until other players get here, i say we go in!" Sasha said.
"If i i'm gonna die, might as well die fighting!" Millie said flexing her muscles.
I smiled, and with that, we enter the building to confront the boss...
