Before the spider could finish him off, Barrett came in front of the spider and launched a devastating attack that wasn't only incredibly fast but also extremely powerful. The spider couldn't react and was split in half.
"This is quite embarrassing" Barrett said, sighing and sheathing his sword. "We are special grades and yet we are struggling against a mere spider."
"Well, I wouldn't say we struggled" Cilia said. "The spider was simply bullying the weaker grades."
"What matters is that we have defeated it" Barrett said, starting to walk in the direction that they came from. "Anyway, this path was a dead end. We should meet with the other group since they must have found the right way."
"Hm, we should meet them...but why are a few members missing?" Cilia asked with a confused face.
-----------------------------------
"Petro, stop before you regret it" Alex yelled.
"I'll stop once you are dead" Petro said, his eyes dead serious.
"Why are you doing this? What have I done to you?" Alex asked, only several inches away from his face.
"Huh? Stop acting so confused. You know what you did! The entire reason that I joined this organization was to kill you. I even changed my entire personality in front of my members so they don't get suspicious of me!" Petro yelled. "I did all of this so I could kill you!"
Alex froze for a moment, his eyes widening slightly but he returned to his calm state a moment after, sighing. "It seems that your brain has stopped working. Meaning, I'll have to kill you."
"Kill me? A special grade? I'd like to see you try" Petro said with a evil grin.

Group B
Group B was walking like normal without any encounters with monsters or enemies, however that was about to change.
They finally an opening to the cave that lead them to the other side, making them extremely close to the castle. However, before they could start making their way to it, they saw that a man was waiting for them.
The man was Anthony, though, his entire personality and his body language was completely different, it was almost as if he was a completely different person.
"Welcome to the castle, my boss has been expecting you" Anthony greeted with an evil grin and a slight bow.
"Huh? Aren't you one of Alex's lackey?" Blake said, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know what you are talking about" The man said with a sweet smile.
"I feel I have seen him before..." Zombie said, sharpening his eyes.
"I guess I'll find out" Zombie thought, teleporting behind him and knocking him with a karate chop. However, before he could use his power and look into his memories, Anthony twisted his head by 180 degrees.
"Wha the-" Before Zombie could react, he was launched onto a boulder with a single punch.
As soon as Zombie was launched, everyone attacked Anthony at once. One of the unknown special grades turned the floor into ice, restricting Anthony's movement while Blake turned his arm into steel and drove his fist into his face.
But in the very next second, Anthony broke the ice with brute force and did an uppercut, launching Blake into the ice and before Blake could recover, Anthony teleported right above him, launching him at an extreme speed towards the ground, crashing into the hard ground instantly.
"I guess I'll have to help them" Vivian sighed, creating a portal and putting half of her arm into it, searching for a specific receipt. After finding it, she took the receipt out, making the portal disappear.
She then dropped the receipt onto the ground, smoke covering the entire battlefield.
"This better give me some extra money" Vivian said, taking a moment to smoke.
As the smoke disappeared, the object was finally visible. It was a tank from the future, a world war two tank specifically. "This thing should do the job."
As Anthony finally reached the ground, he didn't notice the tank that was directly aimed at him and before he could realize, it was already too late for him as the tank's projectile pierced through his skull.
Surprisingly, Anthony simply smiled, cracking his neck.
He instantly teleported in front of the tank and destroyed it with a single punch.
"There was no reason to attack me, I am simply here to take you to the castle" Anthony said with a gentle smile.
All of them froze instantly. "How is he still standing?!" Vivian thought. "Tch, I would have used my ultimate receipt if I had not underestimated him."
"Fine, take us to the castle" Zombie said, standing up, injured and bleeding.
"Very well" Anthony replied with a evil grin, hiding it in the very next second.
---------------------------
Alex teleported behind Petro and tried to slash him but Petro effortlessly dodged it without any sign of struggle. "I am way above your league, you cannot defeat me."
Petro launched a punch on Alex but Alex blocked it with his sword, causing the sword to shatter into pieces. Effectively making Alex unarmed.
Before Alex could teleport or dodge, Petro punched Alex right in the stomach, forming a massive hole and his arm coming out of the other side. Instantly, Petro took out his arm and a large amount of blood started spilling instantly.
Within seconds, Alex vomited a massive amount of blood and fell to the ground, his pulse completely gone.
"Finally" Petro said with a smile, feeling satisfied. "Finally, I did it...I have taken my revenge!"
