2024-10-29 19:42:56The quartet walk out of the light to a massive cave before them, the cave is filled with water and has rock platforms over it. The roof has a giant crystal at the center which provides light, on some of the platforms are plants and even in the water. The platforms vary in sizes as some are like an oasis to a simple stepping stone.
Flint looks around the place, “Okay, this isn’t what I was expecting.”Chuck nods as he looks over the water, “Yeah, with how flashy the entrance was I expected some ancient ruins of some kind.” He taps the water as his reflection ripples across it.Aella is amazed, “Don’t you guys get it? Normal dungeons aren’t even half as big as this.” Aku looks at Aella with a brow, so does the boys. “A dungeon of this scale can only be made by……by a god!” she looks around the place the looks behind them.The door they just walk through only has its post but no gate, this surprises them. Aku stretches her hand to the gate then a space opens showing outs

Flint looks at Chuck with wide eyes, “You really did level up! I can’t believe it, I thought it would take years to level up again.” he holds his head in amazement, he looks at Aku excited as she is also elated. Chuck starts to flex his muscles.Aku walks up to the duo, “This is great! With this Aella can also level up.” Aella gives a wry smile. They’ve been training her ever since they left the city but she barely ranked up.Flint then realizes, “Guys, if that this is a mob monster. Doesn’t it mean there’re a bunch of them hanging around?” he starts looking around.Aku nods her head, “If we can lure them out and kill them one at a time, we can level up safely.”Chuck looks at Aku with a raises a brow, “And if we get swarmed?” he keeps flexingAku shrugs, “They we run with our tails between our legs. A single mob monster was this strong, imagine the others. We got to use our heads, not out muscles.” Chuck stops flexing.Flint looks across the entire floor, “W

A space ripples as another figure jumps out, this figure looks just like the injured girl but is male with silver hair and eyes. Next to him is another figure dressed in a maid outfit with a mechanical tail behind her with blueish hair. The silver haired man walks towards the other Xenos, “Mother is alright, she just got her EP crystals disrupted EP in her so healing is slow. The realm of monsters has high EP density so she’ll fully recover in like 2 hours.” The maid beside him speaks with a sweet emotionless voice, “The Azurians are with her since they have her blood, we left her in their care.” This maid is the first Xeno but not called Wein(1) he’s there eating popcorn. Dialdelios walks to Srex, “Srex, why did you call for us?” looks at Srex waiting for an answer.Srex puts his hands behind his back and relaxes, “I kinda need your help with a dungeon in my universe.

Back in Ergos Xenia, the quartet are up against 4 monsters of this floor. It’s 4 against 4, the same lizard monster they encountered are the only monsters on this floor. The monsters are also pumped with EP crystals.Aella is running as a monster is running beside her, Aella slides to a stop and readies her rapier. “SONIC THRUST!” she thrusts her rapier out releasing a shockwave at the monster. “WHOOOM BOOM” the monster is blown back a few meters.Aella jumps and twists in the air, the monster opens its mouth with lightening firing from it. Aella dodges the lightening and thrusts down as the monster dodges *CLAANK*, the monster swings its tail at her. Aella takes a combat stance, she thrusts her rapier at the coming tail, “COUNTER!”. *BOOOM* The monster is pushed back making it lose its balance.Aella lowers her center of gravity, she leaps towards the monster, “RAPIER FLURY!” her rapier increases in number striking the monster multiple times. *CLANK CLANK CLANK* Aella appears behind

The quartet walk into a room unlike the previous floor, this floor is like a dark cave but everything is clear. There are 3 large flying desert platforms, 2 platforms seem empty except the last one. Sands spill from the desert platforms falling into the darkness below. There are lines across the cave walls producing light yet the place is dark.On the last platform is a humanoid figure with a scorpion’s tail and covered in red carapace, it’s left hand is a pincer with the right being human. Its feet are like a scorpion with antennae on its head. This figure has silver hair and eyes with extreme heat coming from his body. The figure’s tail drips with poison as it grins maliciously staring at the quartet. There’s the number 117 boldly written above his head in a dark color.The quartet are yet to step on the first platform since they’re still in the pathway. Flint stares at the figure, “Hey guys, I think that’s the boss monster.” Aella looks around the room, “That’s stran

Flint grits his teeth, “Second Phase? BRACE YOURSELVES!” *BOOOOOM* the boss bursts into flames as red poison spreads across the entire floor. The quartet feels intense heat with the room dyed red, Chuck coughs up blood. Flint readies his sword, “*COUGH COUGH* We can’t wait to learn its pattern, we’ve got to kill it now or we’ll die.” The boss monster lowers itself then swings its pincer creating a sand tornado before it moving towards the quartet. Chuck readies his shield then glows blue, he gets ready to charge at it. Aku grabs Chuck’s collar and pulls him away, “DODGE YOU IDIOT!” *BOOOOOOM* The tornado hits but they evaded it though but with damages. *RROOOAAARRR* the boss monster thrusts its pincer into the ground, *BZZZZ BZZZZZ BZZZZZZ* Lightening crackles across the entire floor.The quartet try to dodge it though some are hit by it. Chuck is hit and paralyzed unable to move, he glows blue as an EP giant covers him. The lightening stops with the dust clearing, the

The quarter are walking on a path that looks like the inside of a cave. They seem exhausted though their stats are in peak condition strengthened by the Bloodline. [You can rest in the passage. This is the safe zone. There’s no need to keep moving. Turning back will let you exit this dungeon.]Flint stops and sighs, “Thank God, we’ve got time to rest.” His party sits down resting their backs on the wall. He looks back and sees the space distorts showing the outside world, to the left is another space showing the 1st and 2nd floors. “Looks like this pathway connects to the other floors, we can go to the previous floors whenever we want.”Chuck shrugs, “All that matters is that we can leave this insanely difficult dungeon easily.” A space opens before him as snacks fall from it, snacks from Universe 1. They seem to be ‘rations’ for this party, he tosses some to his friends as the take the wrappers off and dig in.Aella wipes her mouth, “The boss of the 2nd floor is ve

………………………..Back to Flint and his party, they’ve reached the second floor and are up against the 8 elders. The elders only fight one at a time but they’re extremely dangerous, one wrong move and you can get your ribs broken. Chuck is holding his chest sitting at a corner, he’s got blood on his chest with a healing herb beside him. Chuck heals slowly.On the third floor, the boss monster suddenly moves. It stands on its feet and cracks its knuckles and neck, it turns staring at the entrance.Aella is up against one of the elders, she takes a stance lowering her center of gravity. The elder leaps towards her as Aella handstands and kicks him in the gut, the elder turns to dust. You don’t need to fight them, it’s either you hit them first or counter them. That’s the rule on this floor, they beat all the 8 elders as energy orbs fly into them. They rest a bit before heading to the third floor with the boss waiting for them.The quartet finally reach the third floor, they

A humanoid figure covered in smoke stands watching Flint’s party as they head back to the path. The smoke clears revealing a female with the knee down being that of a bird, 6 fiery wings behind her, bird hands that moves just as human. The woman has bird tail with silver fur covering her chest and silver feathers covering her waist down, her eyes are silver with a blackhole at the center.The woman walks to the edge of the mountain as it melts yet doesn’t disappear, “Oh, I expected them to be afraid but not enough to flee. I guess it can’t be helped.” She looks at her hands covered in extreme heat, “Even though this is merely a toy, it’s able to copy a hundredth of my heat.” The woman looks at the party entering the path, “I wonder what they’ll do now.” She turns back to the center of the mountain, slowly the silver fur and fea

Ruler verses united god
“There’s one more thing.” The goddess speaks. Thorn looks at her clearly interested. The goddess continues. “If we unite our powers, we can win. Though you’re powerful, our attacks clearly had some effect on you.”“But how?” the shadow god speaks, “Even with our combined attacks the result is the same…..unless….we fuse our powers.” The gods are even shocked by his statement but it is their only option.The fire god speaks, “Then I will receive our powers and defeat this fiend.” The gods agree, Thorn finds this interesting so he’s watching eating a fruit.The gods channel all their power into the god of fire, his level remains the same but his stats clearly rise above that of a primordial god trespassing into the territory or Rulers. The fire god is enshrouded by energy releasing wave after wave of heat and energy.Thorn looks at this with interest in thought, “I’ll have to record this and send it to Master or her kin later.” He opens his hand and an obsidian in the form of a sphere dr

This pantheon is ruled by gods who dress as nomadic warriors with males mostly bare-chested. The gods are making an announcement to their army on the start of a new war.Far away from this place, on a small floating island covered by clouds. Anna is watching, she’s spying on this pantheon hoping to gain information on the war. The Chief god of the pantheon steps up, “The Demon realm has declared war on us.” He said, “And so we will respond in kind.”Anna watches from afar, “So, war is upon us. It looks like all the pantheons will join the war this time, Master moved the entire demon realm just for this war.” She sighs.Anna keeps observing this pantheon. After what seems like an hour, Anna spreads her wings and flies back to her pantheon. She arrives in the Valkyrie spire, she notices war preparations also going on.

The figure is human but has parts of its flesh missing as gold flames comes from the missing parts. This figure is Sers’ true form.Sers lands behind Thorn, “Why did you reveal so much to him?”Thorn glances behind him, “Was it wrong to do so? The kid has to know why he got your attention.”Sers sighs, “It’s not wrong, we just didn’t know how to reveal it to him. As for why he got our attention….Hmmm, think Twenny should tell him.” Sers moves towards a refrigerator in the corner.Thorn shrugs, “Pushing responsibility around, so Xeno like.” He notices Sers reaching for a beer, a chill goes down his spine and he snatches the beer from Sers.Sers is taken aback, “Hey, What’s the big idea?”Thorn puts the beer back in the fridge and gives him juice, “No alcohol for you unless your siblings are here to restrain you.” Sers feels hurt and Thorn continues, “The last time Master got dru

Flint hovers above the ground as he glares at Thorn, Thorn grins and gives him the ‘come on’ wave. Flint taps his feet off the ground vanishing from sight like a blur, Thorn raises his hand up. *CLANG* Flint swung his sword down and Thorn blocked it, Thorn twists and kicks Flint’s stomach. *CRACK* Flint is blown away. Thorn’s eyes open wide as his thoughts, “I didn’t kill him, right? I held back a lot.” Flint smashes into a tree, he slowly gets up as his HP recovers. Thorn grins, “The Master really made a splendid bloodline, sadly it can’t be compared to hers.” Thorn makes a blood barrier as a beam of light hits it, “A fake bloodline is this powerful? No wonder Master could never beat the Messengers of Light.” The blood barrier turns light and disintegrates.

Thorn sits on a chair and offers one to Flint, he forgot Licia is still there. “At some point during the Journey to grow stronger, levels become…..bullshit.” Flint is confused and Thorn continues, “You can have the highest level and skills but if you can’t make good use out of it then you’re weak. I’ve witness people fight with a huge level gap yet the lower levelled one won. Combat potential can’t be measure, it’s just your capability to face opponents.”Flint thinks about it, “So if my combat potential is high, I might be able to match up to her?”Thorn’s thoughts, “Sorry but no. Rank also has a say in it, Twenny is a Tittle Calamity, you’ll need more than combat potential to fight on equal footing with her.” Then he speaks, “Against others yes.”Flint feels relieved though he misunderstands, then a question pops into his mind. “Can…you tell me more about Teacher?”Thorn rubs his chin, “There’s not much to say, she’d mostly stay indoors with her sibling watching movies and eating sn
