*DING DING DING*
[You have arrived at the target location, Ergos Xenia.]Flint slowly opens his eyes as the carriage comes to a stop, the rest slowly wake up from the notification. Flint smiles, “We’re here.” He walks out the carriage followed by Aella and the duo, before them is a dungeon. “This is the first time I’ve seen a dungeon.”Aella is baffled, “Dungeons aren’t like this, is this really one?” Ahead of them about 30 meters ahead of them boulder with water pouring out of it down into two paths. Behind the boulder is a waterfall and it’s surrounded by high walls like natural formations. A door is before the boulder as the water flows on the sides of the door, there are plants on the boulder with small statues before it on a bridge. The statues seem to be 3 meters in size but they rarely look human, the statues are before the boulder arranged side by side on the sides of the path.They start to walk on the bridge marveling at the statues on it, Chuck walks slowlThe 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. I was hoping you could mold the Crystal Orb Defense Golems to act like us and serve as bosses in
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
